Just saw her on the 3-2-1 show on challenge tv , so looked her up.

[spieraldi1973]

Wow, I 4got all about this song! Nice!!!

[terryhellhole]

Jackie graham was the best black female singer that britain ever had and i reckon she was better than Whitney Houston.

For me, her music had a meaning and a purpose to it and love, empathy and compassion was what i felt through out the 80s when I sat listening to her records.

Todays music is manufactured and artificial (rubbish).

Todays society im sad to say is lacking in essence and Jackie grahams music shows just how much society has lost its community spirit!

Jackie graham is awesome!

[dequadim]

Wonderful song, wonderful 80s. I will pay to go back in time.

[northwestlondon1]

@chiperta i think its time u came out the closet then

[19nobmaster69]

[youngmumma]

Brings tears to my eyes. That era was such a great time for music. I cant believe it was so long ago. Time moves too quickly.

[22v68]

Wow ' this still sounds great today

I was a 16 year old lad when this came out' me and my friends would tape stuff like this off the radio then play them on ghetto blasters while hanging around the streets. We were always being told to move away from peoples house's because our music was to load.

Happy days happy memorys.

This is music from the heavens

[ilaludba]

I LOVE THIS SONG SOOOOOOOOO MUCH

[christian2006morris]

Sounds as fresh as ever!

[shmuli9]

I had this one on an album... Wasn't it right about the same time she did "Could It Be I'm Falling in Love" with David Grant? (I had that AND I remember the video!)

[colorsoundandsoul]

yeah this is a tight track, thanks for putting this one up for real, jaki has that sound - I was checkin my email, got subbed and this song is their featured video so the groove just hit me and took me back- i had a nostalgic moment - I've always liked her voice but hadn't heard this one in too long, gotta luv YTube

[wolfstev76]

damn, this brought back memories of driving from Napa to San Francisco after a hard days work looking to relax and enjoy the scenes in the city. I miss the fog coming over the hill and dropping into the city for the evening. Taking a cruise on a ship in the bay enjoying some champagne. But, those days are gone and so are artists like this. They only live in memories now. Thanks for good thoughts brought back heyroz27

[Squeeels22]

Still sounding amazing!!!

[MrTownie66]

What a song,what i would give to go back for an 80s weekend

Sheso under rated, Great Voice

[Walterdeeee]

nice and hot....lol

[rjm2870]

agree with all below , u can go to any wedding , party niteclub and this music comes on and everyone is up dancing not like the rubbish so called Rn b today

[curlaz63]

Why do people always use Duran Duran, Wham, FGTH etc to summarise the 80s? Yes they were big and very successful, but if you were out pubbing and clubbing in the 80s, this is the music you would have heard. These are the tunes you would have made a move on that boy/girl to.

[P7OKER]

@curlaz63 so true my friend , easy to mooch up on the dance floor to the girl youve had your eye on .. wink wink

[Feisty1967]

A million times better than today's r n b music, which is sooo dull. Back then it was called "Soul Music", why on earth did they start to call it r n b? Can't understand it, maybe it's my age.

[WELLBRAN]

she was cool good voice also I think I have this somwhere on CASSETTE!! it's my wifes! lol  she was okay though

[19nobmaster69]

1985 was the year for good old english funk the english top 40 was full of funk and soul from both sides of the atlantic what a great year for music

[MsFanmail]

I love this song i was 11 when it first out. where can i get this song on my mp3 player. Where is the decent music today

[kenconnor2006]

'a girl sings her loving heart to us through the genius of Jaki Graham'

[Skyheights99]

Jaki Graham was ace. Have great memories of this music when i was in my late teens.

[CookyMonzta]

DAYUM! Has it really been 25 years since I heard this song? The U.K. was tearin' up R&B all over the U.S.! Let me think...Total Contrast, LOOSE ENDS, Princess, FIVE STAR, Jaki, of course, O'Chi Brown, T.C. Curtis, Mel & Kim (Mel, R.I.P.), Imagination, Paul Hardcastle, and last but not least, SOUL II SOUL! I know I'm missing a few, but there was a point in 1986 where I thought U.S. R&B was lagging behind.

[heyroz27]

@CookyMonzta LOL yes you got most. Forgot 52nd St and JR. British R&B was progressive during this time. US R&B was phasing it's late 70's and early 80's funk into a poppish sound which was the trend that all music was gearing to back then.

[CookyMonzta]

@heyroz27 Soon as I logged out, 52nd Street popped in my head. I bought their album 'Children Of The Night' in 1986. It's still in my racks. "Tell Me (How It Feels)" went to #9 on the R&B charts in the U.S. That song got plenty of airplay on the Quiet Storm on WBLS in NYC.

[antonisus]

Those were the days. These tunes remind me of my youth. Don't forget Junior & David Grant. I love 52nd Street, produced by Nick Martinelli who did a few for Loose Ends, you can see some similarities in both their tunes.

[soulsolution99]

@CookyMonzta You're so right US definitely had a lot of catching up to do way back then

[CookyMonzta]

@soulsolution99 And how did I forgert Lisa Stansfield? Her rise to fame in the U.S. was aided by 2 things: The popularity of house music and neo-soul (thanks to Soul II Soul) in the U.S and U.K., and a unique vocal ability that, by 1992 (after "All Woman"), very nearly made her a legitimate successor to Teena Marie. Though far as Lisa was from Teena, none who have come along since have even measured up against Lisa.

[CookyMonzta]

@soulsolution99 And I forgot one more name in the pantheon of U.K. soul: JUNIOR! His first 2 hits in the U.S., "Mama Used To Say" (1981) and "Too Late" (1982), were the beginning of the British R&B invasion that played a big role in shaping R&B music throughout the 1980s and beyond. And to a slightly lesser extent, I would add the Quick's "Zulu" and "Rhythm Of The Jungle".

[fulcrum300]

@CookyMonzta In 1986, 36% of the music on the U.S. Billboard top 500, was English bands/UK music. Today, 2% of English bands/music is in the U.S. Billboard top 500.

[3117sorcerer]

@CookyMonzta Love or 80's singers!

[3117sorcerer]

@CookyMonzta I Love our 80's singers

[bampie1]

@CookyMonzta Just love this and her voice is the best

[DUGMAC1973]

@CookyMonzta Don't forget Deluxe : )

[3117sorcerer]

@CookyMonzta You like all the acts I like...still listen to! Had the 12" of this song, and many of the ones you mention, love 5 Star, O'Chi Brown and Total Contrast

[jimaframe]

the video response I posted called 'Gonna Need No1 Else' is my remix of this song. Please tell me what you think! Thanks x

[bancroftFX]

Love it to dead!!!!!!!

[stonebridgeboy11]

great tune, great era...what a voice, !!!

[0170cherry]

WOT MEMORIES

[lcballer04]

just a fantastic song. i wish younger people knew how good jaki graham is.

[satwatcher]

I've just stumbled on this video, and I'm very glad I did! I'm in my 50's, but remember this as if it were yesterday. It's very touching to read all the comments on here, and the other versions posted. Good to know she's still singing - perhaps I will have to book a cruise...

Like everyone else, I find nothing this good on the radio today - someone mentioned Radio Caroline, which I was an avid listener to. I still have many tapes and cassettes from that era.

Happy memories....

[LINDSAYWINN]

An all time favourite...unforgettable!

[RenKinRaM]

Gal catching tune, back in the day..... nuff uman me did get!!!

[jakemiller5000]

This is music. Amy fucking Craphouse can go fuck herself. Untalented fucking bitch. Nothing touches the 80s!

[fulcrum300]

@jakemiller5000 Indeed, nothing touches the 80s. it was the greatest decade in music, ever. - Amy Winehouse is pretty good, though.

[VenusGospeI]

@jakemiller5000 crap man that girl could sing not like this songbird she da dogs bits ma man

[2009trenny]

underated star - would beat all on x factor without a doubt!

[bazza270]

@2009trenny without a doubt you are so right about that

[DISCOVEGASGUY]

Glad that they glammed her up a bit. Her hair was originally a rat's nest and her teeth were a bit needy. Her voice is fabulous. I wonder what she is doing now ?

[ArmouredCharmer]

AAAH,The sweet memories of teenage discos.The Samson And Hercules,The Norwood Rooms and Pennies,All Norwich and all gone ,but not forgotten!!

[2009trenny]

takes me back to my first luv, never forget

[steelsfirm]

This is such a great song and production.

[punkhunter07]

I can listen to this song time and time again. It reminds me of my early teens and I do wonder what's happened to brilliant artistes like Jaki Graham.

We've gone from an era which produced the likes of Jakki Graham, Diana Ross, Whitney Houston compared with some of todays artistes.

[soullover69]

flavour on top of the flavour right here !

[melpiggly]

[Inkerman1980]
