Jaki Graham - "Set Me Free" (1986)

[zander469]

Transport for London should play this type of stuff on the underground :)

[zander469]

Hot summers, bikini girls, nice cars, cocktails, beaches, clubbing and loving. This is what this tune is all about :)

[DISCOVEGASGUY]

Great song but the poor girl's hair was a rat's nest !

[SmoothCinnamonX]

I can't believe I never even heard this song until 2005! This is amazing! It sooo sounds like it could been recorded by the Pointer Sisters.......

[maximos1966]

VIVA LOS 80

[producermattpop]

One of my favourite 80's dance records. Such a great, tight production, fantastic drum / synth programming. And what a voice!

[DamballaWedo]

Jaki - Eine Super Frau. Wunderschön.

[Starwave1]

I bodypopped my shoulder pads off to this song in the 80's....the 12 inch version is awesome.

[freddeloppan]

There's something special about this song, it always drew people to the dance floor. And the chords at 2:00 and 2.35... Great!

[StepCam67]

i love this song..it popped into my head the other day and had to check it out. You Tube + You Tube Community. Definitely one of the 21st Century's Greatest Achievements. IMHO.

[wildboy789789]

ive never heard this song... i was born in 1991 and just found the song now... its good

i love youtube and the internet in general

[WhackAss84]

So true... It's one of the few places where it is still possible to spread some truth and to share the great music of the past. It's also a place were people treat each other like shit and talk to much shit to one another instead of spreading joy. Love you ALL Youtubers, even the sick fucks:D

[boyrogers1]

Lesliemichel i too had a high top and it was hiiiiigh! I loved it and it got so much respect for that hairstyle back in the day. The high top should make a come back, every other hairstyle has.

[dlissemanedge]

Fantastic!

[supersardou]

Ja lekker ok ook voor de brammers hoop gabbers uit 1985....

[3DPeter]

dude, gabber bestond nog niet in de jaren 80, dus waar gaat het over?

[OhLookItsMauve]

fabulous!

[saintgooner]

mint tune :)

[tellmah]

If anyone is interested in where Jaki is now, she is spending part of her time doing cruise ships.

I saw her last week on Ocean Village 2 around the Med.

She comes across as a sincere lovely person and she can still use that distintive voice to good effect.

It was a pleasure to listen to her bringing back good memories.

[selmabaysal]

NIce that you let us know. Thanks al lot~!

[lesliemichel]

hey...im the guy with the high top...lol it looks high buit at the time amongst us west end crew it was the look. so im proud of me.....but it is funny looking back now and seeing that people watch

[phrog1337]

that guy's high top is a bit top heavy.

[MadnotMad79]

making a cd for mates release from prison had to add this :)

[jock19]

Sheer Joy!....80's Brit dance...def the best!

[Applebaum]

Shes my cousin! wicked voice

[boru25]

Seriously?!

[TheKingMyrmidon]

Still got the cassette still listen to it and....enjoy it ;-)

[pictpixie5523]

The lovely Jaki! The voice, the legs, the red dress, hey maybe there are things from the 80s worth remembering!!!!

[sirstanmeister]

This tune is just timeless! You could drop it in a bar today and the kids would dance to it! How lucky i was to grow up in the greatest decade for great tunes!

[ki52ma]

how true, i feel the same, i love the fab 80,s.

[producermattpop]

Such a great track, it still sounds fresh and crisp today. Funny how slow it sounds, compared to club music these days, but I love this tempo for dance records - gives you time to move between the beats :)

[genXer3]

This vid reminds me of early Whitney Houston vids ( I Wanna Dance With Somebody), minus the bright colors.

Damn I miss the 80s!

[dimitriosmichael]

soooooo beautiful a tune. i woke up with this tune, to soul that is

[PAYBACKiszaB2]

Does anyone have the song she sang back in the 90s called "I'll Be Strong" I have the audio but never seen a video for the song. thanks I did not know she spelled her name like that............thanks

[polyplant]

[automaticman100]

[sirstanmeister]

One of the best tunes ever from the best decade for music ever! My 8yr old daughter heard this for the 1st time the other week in the car and she cant stop playing it and singing and dancing to it!

[schneiderlover]

I love this ! Does anyone else yearn for the days when people sang instead of screaming and you could actually understand the lyrics without having to google them ?

[boru25]

Yes I do!

[nemonoo]

Absolutely! The majority of music now pales into insignificance.... :)

[retrotest]

She was on Ocean Village 2 in December i saw her she sung this :)

[trvwatson]

Fantastic British Talent.

[mk3stargazer]

sams bag hit me right between the eyes,,,,,, haha! great song, remember learning to drive and this was in the charts being played all the time,,

[piankhy123]

[boru25]

[scottwebb]

Ohhhhhhhh baby :)

[colashcroft]

[Safarigod]

The 80's was one of the best decades!

[DISCOVEGASGUY]

Wow. Look at all that HAIR. A bit of a rat's nest. Love her music though !

[MoRulez]

Wonderful! This song was in the Dutch pop charts in the summer of 1986. It all brings back memories of the seventh grade, my first crush (my math teacher, who never knew until I told him in 2006), my dad´s Ford Granada, my gardenia-coloured Eastpak...those were the days, even thoug it all seems pretty cheesy now:)

[vauxhall456]

great tunes from my school days .

Superb skirt , never spotted it back as a teenager , have now !!

[hayleyslut]

i wonder if she has rubber bra and panties on underneath..............

[ASIF247]

Alexander should sing this song on X Factor.

[alexandrascarsgard]

Alexander who?

[Ecossaise]

She could have made it big in North America but until now I've never heard of her which is a shame ! She is FAB :D

[ollie705]

[Babe5677]

I have this song on my I pod. I wish I had this song on my phone. I love Jaki Graham she has an amazing voice. I like her, Whitney Huston and Chaka Kahn because she has a beautiful voice just like and she sounds alot like Whitney Huston and Chaka Khan. Is she realated to Chaka Khan or not? I've been told she is Ruby Turner's sister is this true? I love Jaki Graham forever and I always will. I will always love Whitney Huston and Chaka Kahn too. I love all these women powerful singers like Jaki.

[VaderRS4]

Gänsehaut, wippende Füsse, einfach geile Partymucke, schade dass es sowas heute nicht mehr gibt!!!

[MadOnLiving]

[swifts68]

Agreat hit in France too !

HAUNTING and POWERFUL !!!

[Duke1966]

Woohaaa! Ladies of the eighties!

[JenCapTchalla]

oh my fucking god Jaki Graham her voice, her music its brilliant and still sound fantastic today, thanks for sharing mate

[discoguy79]

a rather generic sounding 80s pop/r&b tune

[freeek04]

we have to consider the source of this comment, people. Judging by his favourites, "generic" is complentary.

[ethanfromlondon]

fucking fab!

[miss2tone]

She was amazing and still is, this song is still fab!!!

[Engwoi]

lol....my ex-gf used to wear the same clothes, similar hairstyle, etc....but that was in the late 90's (anyway, she was very hot)

'bout the sound: i was just 10 when this came out, but later, i "learned" lovinng this kinda music...

[moodybabes]

i have that song jeffryfourmile

[DONCALD29]

one of the best ty for uploading m8 :O)

[Babe5677]

I love this song Jaki Graham rocks she has a powerful singing voice. Jaki Graham has a voice of an angel. I love Jaki Graham forever and I always will and I am getting her album on the Tuesday the 11th of March 08 from Zavvi can't wait.

[scruffjones]

this woman has an amazing powerfull voice and my god no one truly got her , my god what a talent i bloody loved her in the 80s. go on girl.british at its best

[GrossbergerXXX]

This was Jaki's biggest solo hit in the U.K. I always felt Britain never appreciated just what we had in Jaki. She should have had Top 5 hit's for fun.

[jeffryfourmile]

has anyone got the song MATED with David Grant?

[AndrewJM70]

It is available on an 80s compilation at Virgin Megastore (or whatever they are called now!)

[Babe5677]

The shop is now called Zavvi

[elitemook]

What a stunning voice!!! Nothing has come close...shame the vid/audio is out of sync but the vocals and dx7's say it all :)

[heavansangel07]

dis ma aunty!!! well ma dads aunty

[Blkfiredawg69]

Grew up in the UK in the 80's, and in my time there i have to say a lot of British woman artists stood out like Sade, Alison Moyet and Annie Lennox just to name a few but Jaki to me is right up there on the list. P.S does anyone remember how hot the lead from 5 Star was?

[GrossbergerXXX]

Blkfiredawg69 : I hear you. Denise Pearson was super fine. That smile, those lips. Man, she was in a league of her own.

[vanollie]

nah dont agree the 80's are just fantastic especially jaki nothing can beat it, was like yesterday hmm how time passes

[HongKongKanto]

90s are the best

[barber747]

This ain't about no 90s...

[TIBBSY]

One of our Great British soul singer Queens,we should all be proud of.

[HongKongKanto]

=Gay

=gay

=gay

[dariodgg]

why do gays like you from the 80s have to claim every good dance song as your own?

[prunellagee]

Jaki Graham used to go into a night club we used to go to in Wolverhampton on a Saturday night. She just used to have a few drinks at the bar. can't remember the name of the club it was in Bushbury. Brings back some great memories.

[rizzel2477]

Eve's Bar?

[rizzel2477]

Eve's Bar?

[prunellagee]

I really couln't remember the name but now you've mentioned it I think you may be right. Had some great times there in the 80's.

[NinjaShadow7]

eye i bet it did

[topaztone]

man this tune brings the past back JAKI GRAHAM i was young free and single, SET ME FREE ;NOW;

[riktimmy]

She IS my favourite female singer of the 80s. She should have been as big as Mariah and Whitney! Check out more of her stuff please:)

[jaycarryks]

some songs stick in your mind for years,this is such a song,for me anyway!!

[lisaferon]

Great song, again not dated at all..much better than the new stuff out at the min!!...

[meerkatlady]

Yeah one of the greats is our jaki. She has a very special quality to her voice.

[piankhy123]

Beautiful and talented I miss her music. I never tire of listening to her music.

[Izzyexile]

Takes me back, this. CLASSIC.

[Lakbir]

Went to the same school as this great woman. Great woman!! Great singer! Great song!

[Thatsrightfolks]

Just seen her live @ the Gosport festival:AWESOME!!

[marcusrob02]

It's a shame she never fully crossed over to the American R&B Charts. Her singles were FIRE and I have no doubt that she would have been a VERY welcomed addition on regular airplay at the time.
