  • such an awesome jam!! i miss these days

  • A solid groove

  • I remember hearing this song way back in 1995 I was 7yrs old and what brought me back here was when I heard this song in a grocery store where I work at and it brought shivers down my spine because it felt like I was a kid again hearing this song. lol

  • Success isn't gauged by numbers! 

  • I loved this song, I agree it didn't get much recognition

  • this song was top 40 stateside for at least a week, number 4 on the billboard 100. 11 on the top 100 in 1995. the US actually had better musical taste than the rest of the world that year. 1995 was a good year.

  • loVe the 9o's !

  • Reminds me when i was about 12.. and im 29 now

  • always my fav

  • i just read her biography on Wikipedia. and it said she sang with Speech and Arrested Development. is she the one with the gap in her teeth and always wore the African style headbands like Erykah Badu?

  • is it just me or can anyone else hear a little country, jazz, and rock in this song?

  • Older than I like to admit... but used to leave my t.v. on MTV or VH1 (when they played videos - another dated remark!) waiting for this to come on... and scream and crank it when it finally did!

  • I have been digging, and digging, and digging, trying to find this song/album/singer for the past 2 years--when I remembered that I used to have this song as a youngster, and could not remember anything about it....THANK YOU!!!!

  • This whole cd was hot.

  • such a classic... always on my fav playlists.... thanks Dionne

  • I actually met her once when I was 7, but at the time, I didn't know she was a famous singer.

  • This song is awesome to put in the I-Pod and work out, especially cardio.

  • Love this song. Can't believe I can't find it anywhere!

  • Where is Dionne now? She rocked!!

  • I see what you did there...

  • Dionne rocking at 2:10, yup. i remember watching this video in college. she was neo soul mixed with rock... striking combo.... love me some Dionne!!

  • I remember this song from an episode of 90210. I ALWAYS think of that show when I hear this song lol.

  • im not sure about everybody else but im glad this song isnt mainstream...it makes it even better....now i said that watch itll be in a commercial or something

    hate that....sorry had to get that off my chest..deuces

  • nice slide guitar

  • Reminds me of the 90s

  • Way better than most of the generic wailing crap that comes from most of today's so-called Divas....

  • i love this song..... it is seriously underrated. Love the rock vibe & Dionne delivers !!!

  • this was the damn jam

  • A song that needed a little more recognition? This thing is a staple on "light rock" stations. Great song that's probably the edgiest thing you'll ever hear on such stations.

  • This song still stands on it's own...big hooks, lyrics and a great voice to deliver it. What a melody, can't believe this artist didn't make to a higher level, too bad....hmm, go figure.

  • **still awesome

  • One hit wonder

  • this song was SOOO HUGE when it was out i heard it a billion times, it should have way more views sad...

  • I love this song~ I just wish iTunes would get it...

  • I really enjoy her artistry. The quality of her voice is so versatile, which allows her to fit easily into all styles. Sadly, she goes unnoticed by the general pulbic. She was exceptional during her segment of Soul Train Award's Anita Baker tribute. I actually preferred her version of the song over Anita's original.

  • i was trying to think of this forever, but ill i could come up with this ana faris!

  • Awesome song. The 90s had so many great one hitwonders. I miss the 90s. That Donovan douchbag that made the comment about the 90s sucking was probably to young or to busy playing wolfenstien in his moms basement. I hate negative feedback on a song that was already a success.

  • great song

  • This song is still hottttttt!!!!!!! Love it!!!

  • Every body Justin Biebers age you are 5 years late. You have to be born before 1990. I swear EVERY song in the 90s brings back the best memories and i'm only 23!!!

  • DoubleVisionandco. Absolutely right. a beautiful blend of styles. We play this. People think it's Tracy chapman.I thank TC Helicon for the harmonys. We have female who sings the main melody. We use my falsetto and voicelive2. Can't help but to want to play this song.

  • I remember when this came out in the 90`s. Dionne was in Arrested Development who had a hit with "Mr. Windel" However, she had wrote some songs and she felt they were hits but they were ignored. So she left Arrested Development and went out on her own. Not long after that this gem came out. This tune shot to number 1, proving her point. What makes this song so great and unique is, it has a modern feel and groove to it, but it`s based on old school blues slide guitar and bass lines.

  • @DoubleVisionandco actually, this song only made it to number 4. still a solid jam though. i wish shed go back to a.d.

  • One of the best songs in history!! So much soul and style!

  • OMG, it took me 2 and a half days to find this song... I saw the video for it a week ago on MTV HITS and fell in love w/ it... on reason why I wish I was born in the early 80's so I could have remember this song :(

  • This is one of my all time favorite songs. It should definitely had more recognition. Wonderful beat, excellent lyrics, beautiful person.

  • holy yowza, since i was 11! this song always awesome

  • Love this song. Wish it was available to download on iTunes.

  • Wow, this song! It's been forever!!

  • the only song that can remind me of something when I was 2

  • Great tune from the 90's.

  • I always loved this song. It is a very empowering "fuck off".

  • This song was reminds me of a trip to Hawaii I took. I remember, every morning, having the doors to my balcony open, enjoying a cup of coffee, while this video played on VH-1. This song was so popular that year, the video played every day like clockwork.

  • Bill Nye the Science Guy brought me!

  • God, I always hated this song. Loverboy called, they want their riff back.

  • @krelbar Couldn't you waste your hate on something worth hating, like PF?

  • Most of the 90's sucked, but this was a great song!

  • @DonovanYaciuk wrong on the first part of the sentence right on the second part.

  • I love this song so much..as I kid I remmember the way it made me feel and the way it made me look at things..this is great music..thank you..

  • Haven't heard this song since forever!  Love it! Thanks Kenji!

  • Love this, dammit!

  • im on here cuz i saw a tupac video and he said he readlly liked dionne farris . different music different from rap but i mite try and hear this out

  • >>>more recognition.

    Say what? This is the 11th most popular song of the year 95! Number one for weeks. How much more recognized can it get?

    .

  • I love this song! I loved Dionne Farris! A real talented recording artist who never got the recognition that she deserved! I am from the 70's and 80's era but the 90's was a real good era of songs that I loved so very much.

  • I hate that this song isn't on itunes!!!!!!!!!

  • @breadbaker1970 this song is available on itunes! look it up by the artist name and scroll down and u will see this song.

  • 2 people didn't know what a significant other was doing.

  • fine voice.

  • I just watched her Anita Baker tribute, and this was on the side. I haven't heard this in a long time. Thanks for posting.

  • @ILuvMusic4real: Same - watching right now! Love. This. Song.

  • Completely love this song. 90's ethereal rock.

  • I couldn't agree more. Definitely one of the defining songs for the greatest decade ever.

  • love this song.

  • Two people don't know what they're doing.

  • Great music.....D1 Production aspires to produce timeless classics such as this

  • Where is she?!? We need REAL true artists like her back....they are such a dying breed!!!!!

  • Oh, at long last the song that has been buggin' the hell out of me I FOUND IT HERE!!! Thanks for posting!

  • 2 ppl don't know what they're doing.

  • nice slide guitar lix...love the bridge at 2:25...totally makes the song memorable.

  • @rowdymax1 and the two pitch alterations at 0:56 and 1:56 are brilliant too!

  • This song is the schmack! Brings me back to the day!!!!

  • i like this jont.. who cares who dont like it

  • What The Hell, Its Not On itunes!

  • @burtamax1 I KNOW! i couldnt even find it on amazon either, it sucks too cuz if i had this song i would have it on repeat.. definitely takes me back to good times! i cant find the original video either :(

  • @cobogirl2005 it's on metacafe :). YT won't let me post the link here.

  • everytime i hear this song, it demands me to sing along!

  • it's not gonna work this tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-iiii-i­iiiime!

    i melt every-single-time.

  • THIS WAS MY JAM!!!! OOOOOHHHH THE DAY BABY!

    Love Passion as well as her rendition of Blackbird. GOT DAMN IT I am so upset that they do not have Wild Seed Wild Flower on ITunes.

  • This has the best acoustics I've ever heard, especially around 2:23

  • I still say that arguably, the 90's had some of the best music. Dionne Farris is a perfect example of the artists of that decade and the creative genius they had/have!

  • Wow! I loved this song! This woman is and was incredible! Her voice is the bomb! I know that she would not sell herself out for anyone who would not recognize her creative talents and her vision to do what she wanted to do! 1995 had some good music back then! I miss her and all of the vocalists from that time.

  • i love this song

    

  • Reminds me of my husbands ex and her desperate attempt to get his attention back when we first got married! I still love it!

  • @chica0616 There were only 10 songs more popular than this in 1995: 1. Gangsta's Paradise, Coolio 2. Waterfalls, TLC 3. Creep, TLC 4. Kiss from a Rose, Seal 5. On Bended Knee, Boyz II Men 6. Another Night, Real McCoy 7. Fantasy, Mariah Carey 8. Take a Bow, Madonna 9. Don't Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days), Monica 10. This Is How We Do It, Montell Jordan 11. I Know, Dionne Farris I think that would qualify as recognition, no?
  • @mikescorpio1108 Good list! I love This Is How We Do It, but if they would have played it one more time, I would have thrown a brick through the TV screen, or radio! LOL!

  • Just heard this song for the first time in 15 years. Thank you.

  • The Beefman's getting his groove on!!!

  • bought this cd when it first came out and still listening to it,i listen to thsi once a week speaks volumes

  • they place this song at work all the time....not gonna lie, that's how I found out about it, but I LOVE it! Such an addictive song. :)

  • GREAT SONG. DO you have Don't Ever Touch Me Again by her also. Haunting song and video but great message. THANKS

  • I EFFEN looooove this song! :D

  • 110,110th viewer, its a good sign :)

  • "A little more recognition?" Didn't it hit the top 10 in '95? Unless by recognition you mean awards...

    Okay, so I heard this song on Cold Case. One of my favorite episodes. I've adored it ever since.

  • She is so outside of the "box"..love her!

  • Is this the actual version she sung? Sounds like an "in tribute to" version I just heard on i-Tunes.

  • @Twister051 yep. this is the original version. The one I remember....

  • Can someone post HUMAN by her?

  • hell yea!!! this song is deserves so much more love...much love arressted development...peace

  • Beverly Hills 90210 brought me here :)

  • @Churchlover101

    It bought me here too. :D I was watching the two episodes that came on Soap network and then I heard this song. :D But i knew this song before LOL

  • @tdianddp4life Well I had never heard the song before until I watched those episodes.

  • @Churchlover101

    thats funny, me to !

  • What ever happened to real music of the '90s?

  • A real, real classic!!!

  • WHERE IS THE OFFICIAL(ORIGINAL) VIDEO?? Is there a problem between Sony & Dionne over the rights to it? It was such a really cool video- shot during the studio recording with Dionne & her band performing the song with 360 degree camera shots all around. Really miss it!

  • The middle part of this song was the best part!!!!

  • I LOVE THIS SONG SOOOOOOO MUCH!!! I wish music was this heart felt today. Just think people we may never get to experience music like this for the rest of our journey in this life. Sad!

  • i dont know why i keep compareing her to meshell ndgeocello she kind of rreminds me of her i almost thought they were the same person

  • ANYONE VOTE THUMBS DOWN TO THIS VIDEO SMACK YOUR SELF CAUSE YOU DONT KNOW REAL MUSIC

  • @JuicyChina seem like Yalonda Adams and heather headley would sing this lol.......i have 2 add India Arie.

  • @maxday1000 ... LOL TRUE TRUE

  • @JuicyChina the song sucks dood.

  • I used to love when my parents played this

  • Comment removed

  • I really miss the 70s, 80s, & 90s R&B thumbs up if agree

  • Haven't heard this song in years. The only reason I remembered it was because it randomly came to mind during my Chemistry class...

  • back when mainstreem had talent and top 40 artists were great!

  • @Jrage12

    Yup, a great time period in music. Now it's polluted by 'artists' manufactured by the Disney Channel and other garbage like American Idol. It's disgusting that people can do what is essentially glorified karaoke and be rewarded for it with a record deal while real musicians struggle to get anything these days.

  • This is a great song from a very memorable year for me! Sadly I can't buy it on iTunes!

  • Great Voice... Great Song!!

  • This song kicks ---!

  • this is my 45th favorite song ever and i got like 1,000,000,000 favorite songs nor am i a bitter love struck gal! just a groovy song you would have to be morgue bound if you did not at least tap to this track!

  • Good tune

  • This song was well ahead of its time when it came out. Excellent stuff!

  • ...when it was this (and a whole lot better)

  • i love it

  • Great voice, great talent, fantastic track!

  • 1 DISLIKE? lol there's always that one jackass that doesnt know music.

  • Yes, this tune was truly done wrong! It's a great example of mixing different styles and having it all just, FUNK OUT & ROCK!!

    Music Industry is bent on defining (pigin-hole) groups into a certain style, which is just ridiculous! For most of us....our prime reason for the love of Music is infact, it's va-ri-e-ty!! Hell-ohhh!!!!!?.....

  • I love the blend this track has. It`s Blues slide guitar, funk bass lines with bare bones rock drumming all wrapped up in one. Laid over the top of it all is the heart felt emotional vocal she lays down. This is one of the best fusion songs to come out of the 90`s. It`s got it all. What`s not to like?

  • fantastic song

  • Classic from the 90s I'm a hip hop head to the flesh but this is real music with ill vocals and production. We can all relate to dis track.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

  • I was little when this song came out i used to sing this song all the time to my girl

  • I never noticed the resonator guitar when it was playing in the 90s, it sounds awesome. Great song!

  • i like this the music is off the chainnnnnnnnnnn

  • 1995 the feel good year of the 90's.

  • Comment removed

  • @RobRobertTheMusicMan

    To be honest, the whole decade of the 90's gave us some pretty good music.

  • Such a minor hit in the UK - deserved so much better

  • great memories from a great time. i miss the 90s...

  • songs like this make me glad i was a 90s child :D

  • great composition... fantastic aritist..one for the record books... she is on Facebook... good one to follow...

  • Hell Yeah The 90s is the year 4 me good R&B good rap musik waz going on

  • "Doesn't this track really take you BACK!!!

    One of the Great Great songs from the mid 90's

    She was from the band arrested Development.

  • coool song

  • @daniii37, no need to feel embarrassed, I remember the first times I heard this song, all I knew was "I know whatcha doin"? constantly in my head. LOL...hope that makes you feel better.

  • Great song.

  • god my mom has a videotape of me at like 5 singing into a toy microphone except the only words i knew was "i know whatcha doin yeahh" so i kept repeating that. so embarrassing XD

  • @daniii37 lol yea but do you know you would give to own that tape when you are a little bit older? LOL you're going to be SO GLAD that tape exists.

  • @jerzeyrunnerflash haha yeah!

  • Why can't they have music like this anymore?

  • Eu cresci ouvindo esta canção!!

  • I LOVE this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • She's so underrated! I love this song! It puts me in a good mood every time I hear it!

  • A shout out to my friend Ebony Sinclair you use to WORK to thing song!

  • i love this song, someone needs to put more of her music on here, shes not dead guys just forgotten, shes a very soulful singer, like her song, Don't Ever Touch Me Again," is about spousal abuse, or abuse period, take alisten at her music, guys, its very moving, and emtional.

  • love this song, and all of dionne ferriss' music, they need tobring her back, so somebody post more of her music, all of it tells a story, and all is very helpful, and encouraging.

  • You're probably correct, Duaan84. Ironic as it is. Where would we be if not for Chuck Berry (the true King of Rock n' Roll), Bo Diddly, all the old great blues guys (oo many to even mention), and of course, Jimi Hendrix.

  • summer 1995. great times, and i miss them
