[27andkickinit]

[mammothkiller1]

up down up down more energy!

[StarlightRoller]

Haevenn yes it is me:)

[Joomington]

more energy!

[MrPhillyrick1]

used to break back in the day and i knew hip hop was here to stay when i saw gladys video with break dancers in it. sadly, hip hop is now obscure and hidden from the masses and only the true followers know where to find it now.

[illwafer]

1:25 the word "swerve" was invented

[maadyl]

R.I.P Joy of life welcome to money and slavery Miss Lady Gaga...

[thesiciliannyc]

The was the 1st video ever to feature break dancing.

[shamarone]

@thesiciliannyc not so sure about that. the first video i think was buffalo gals.

[MrJames07111]

this video exposed hiphop as a force to be reckon with. The rappers out today are really trying to ruin it.

[mach1man22]

Gladys Knight actually looks better older

[airdriver]

Gladys and The Pips were one of the smoothest, most under rated R&B acts of the 60's and 70's. In my opinion, they left the Supremes and Diana Ross in the DUST.

[Tajeznah]

Thank u so much for posting this - they never show Gladys Knight videos on VH1 Soul.

[StarlightRoller]

When it gets to 2:16 you will see me spinning and taking off my windbreaker jacket.lol Yeah its me! Star Light Rollers

[appleman2500]

@StarlightRoller love the shot of you in the video

[Haevenn]

@StarlightRoller Are you being serious? :)

[StarlightRoller]

@Haevenn yeah Im not joking. It is me. My skating days are pretty much done these days. Here is some more info.The girls crossing the stair case @1:50 , The one wearing the white windbreaker and long brown hair was my girl friend. If you look at me in this video you could tell its me.

[abovefilms]

@StarlightRoller used. to watch this video all day. it was in heavy rotation back then. did you guys get paid a lot to be in the video? i probably would've done it for free!

[atarifreak]

Check out the Arnie mix that uses this sample

[eb7348]

maybe she should have got a job then she wouldnt have had all that time to wait...lol

[ziyahd31]

@eb7348 LOL

[screwdigitaldish]

I can spin on my hand like that, I just dont wanna.

[sembach96]

Gosh...the punk rock glasses! I remember those and thought I was going on with those across my face. Love It!!!!!

[professordeejay69]

Let's Break!

More Finest Break Dance Mix, 1981-1986

Check this out....

[sastaroo]

@marcusrob02. I believe the song was produced by Leon Silver along with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

[soulchildsacomin]

@sastaroo

I always thought this song was produced by Jam, Lewis, and Leon, but none of them produced this song, however Leon played the bass and additional keyboards on this song. Ricky Smith (a collague of Leon Sylvers who produced and played for The Sylvers, The Whispers, Carrie Lucas and Shalamar) produced "Save The Overtime" The only song that had production credits by Jam and Lewis with Leon is "Can You Treat Me Like She Does" by Real to Reel (1983).

[blackisrealites85]

good song islam is satanic

[marcusrob02]

Who produced this song?

[CaptainMike1968]

@marcusrob02 Leon Sylvers III -- famously known for his work as producer for the SOLAR sound 9most notably The Whispers and Shalamar) and former member of The Sylvers -- produced this song. He also produced another big hit for Gladys Knight & The Pips from this album, "You're Number One (in My Book)."

[grooveskin]

Bass Line Is Funkin It To The Hilt. Bangin !

[WolvarineSolidX]

I used this classic for one of my new songs! Go to my page to check it out yall. I love Gladys! This song is motown all the way!!! Soul of Detroit

[edabm75]

Wow, Gladys had some great legs! I never noticed that.

And her outfit with the fedora and dress is actually hot and could totally be worn today, LOL.

[deekydan]

@edabm75 YES!! I was thinking about this song last night and decided to youtube it this morning. That outfit is bangin! Matter fact, she just gave me an idea for the next time I go out. lol

[Tonia682]

So true@edabm75

[TheMariposaloca]

This was my jam when I was in 10!

[oldschoolbx1970]

I was in the 6th grade when this video came out. That was when NYC was really NYC with true hip hop culture.

[chiproc]

these jams have a groove that make you want to dance . they capture the time and feeling as you can see nothing compares to this day 80s still funkin and rockin

[SonyaShirelle]

Love this!!

[LOVELEE1971]

Love this track, from Gladys!!

[danielsimonon]

I remember seeing this on VH1 around 1983. I like this version way better than the one she does live. The live version is too fast, sounds too old-school Motown. This one has much more funk to it.

[wingchundragon]

Ahhh luv this track and luv the 80s! I remember them performing this on the tv show Benson

[hsinghalphazulu]

real life lyrics.

where the fugg r they now?

its a dead life.

bring it on gladys!

h s x

[MrLauntre]

This track still go!! I remember when this was bangin in 1983!! I was 9 that summer, and all you heard was this,micheal jackson,kool and the gang, and lionel richie! This song get you in the mood to get out there!!

[musicvideofilm2010]

The things that soul artists had to do to stay relevant in the '80s... good song but the vid...eh.

[mojay11]

Haven't seen that video in a while, looks like that was taped off of Video Jukebox on HBO.

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #1 soul, #66 pop in Billboard. Should've been a bigger pop hit than that, right, gang? Good bit of breakdancin' in the vid, though. God bless!

[USAisAntiWhite]

That ghetto box is as big as his apartment!

[firdaws1977]

ça nopus rajeuni pas tout ça :-)))

[Jua410]

this Video from 1983

[shamarone]

R.S.C. = G.O.A.T...!!!

[cackagill]

1983!

[tyeboogie152]

this reminds me of them block parties uptown harlem

[gacaptain]

I remember too. This was the first video I ever saw with break dancers or breaking. I always thought it was an unusual song to be used to show case something from the hip hop culture. Luv Gladys Knight though. And loved this video.

[onlinesavant]

This video introduced me to break dancing. I can remember it like it was yesterday. It was a saturday afternoon video show. Saw the video, and immediately went outside and started trying to do everything I saw. My mind was blown. I feel so fortunate to have grown up in the 80's. Kid's these days just don't understand. I have yet to run into anyone who grew up during that time who said they didn't have a great time growing up

[Lightner445555555555]

I MISS THE 80'S :(

[MegaTyler98]

ahhh!!!! boom boxes and breakin'.........this song is soooo cool with such a great beat and hook and of course that soulful Gladys voice!!!! Thanks so much for posting....

[chamien2007]

so cool thank you so much

[djjuan84]

Remember we used to break dance to this jam

[1234breakdancer]

New York City Breakers....Legends...!!

[BreuckelensFinest]

@1234breakdancer Don't forget the Rock Steady Crew! ;o)

[1234breakdancer]

@BreuckelensFinest Yep...them too...2 legendary crews...!

[lpc0615]

I remember hearing this as little girl in the late 80's I was about 4 or 5 then. My dad would play this around the house. I grew up on music like this. This the kind of music my dad and aunts and uncles play at barbeques and house parties.

[NJNupe1911]

OK!!!!! I was 6 too!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!

[WolvarineSolidX]

I love you Glady's baby!!! Geeah

[iolanik]

[the430movie]

I remember friday night videos.... I also remember hot tracks with Paco, or Carlos Dejesus... It was one of the 92 WKTU Dj's.... Those were the days! Boom Box, Checkerboard lace Adidas, Up rocking(break dancing), Rubix cube, Days of Graf! Yup! I remember those days!

[jaxmick]

Oh my god everything you said I remember I love New York Hotracks and thoses days were the best!

[BreuckelensFinest]

@the430movie Making me cry breaking me back like that! hahaha This video brings back some of the greatest times of my life! I used to Rock it hard on Flatbush ave in Brooklyn NY and Ocean Ave, growing up with DJ Enuff and his crew NWR, Nasty With Rock. As a matter of fact tomorrow I will reunite with them at Enuffs birthday Party. Too funny.

[BreuckelensFinest]

@the430movie Preach it! Nothing can touch the 80's Pure Hip Hop here in the birth grounds of NYC! I was 12 yrs old when this video came out. Chillin' on Flatbush Ave Break dancing in front of my crib on the cardboard while everyone on the B41 watching our Back, head and 1990's hand spins & don't forget the Windmills. Hahaha I even have pics of it. But forever sketched into my hearts memories!

[oldschoolbx1970]

Whoah! Now u takin me wayyyyyyyyyy back.

[vlovesrafa]

@the430movie .Ahhh.Take me back.Take me back.

[JoyNBaltimore1]

I had to think back, but I'm there now...yes, Friday Night Videos!!!

[coolwafferman]

The girl from 0:21-0:28 is cute. This has to be one of the best music videos of the 80's. Heck even today. I just like how everyone is dancing and having a good time. You don't see that anymore. Music videos today are crap!!

Gladys Knight and the Pips were amazing they had hits from the 60's all the way until the late 80's! They better go ahead with their bad selves.

[peabo12]

Agreed. Hits from 1961 all the way to 1988.

[Tarantulisimo]

I don't consider myself a B-Boy, but I was most def down with the whole scene back in the day....."Save the Overtime", "Buffalo Gals", & "Flashdance" movie & "Flashdance What a Feeling" videos all came out in '83 & all featured breakdancing, as did about 75% of the videos that dropped afterward...Even Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" from '83 featured some pop-locking...

[buggeazy102]

@Tarantulisimo yea but we here on the east cost didnt count uptown girl it had that turbo guy from cali in it breaking was pretty much dead on the east cost by then

[TamekaGilliam]

I still love this song til this day.

[FonkPazzion]

You Damn Right 80's Funk Music Is The Best Ever. Boogie4Life !!  =D

[rightknowledgeman]

dig leon sylvers bass line at the beginning of the song,Fat

[billyjacc]

Maaaaan!!!! When I first saw this on Friday Night Videos I was calling up my friends at 1AM saying turn on channel 3

They're breaking on a Gladys Knight video. (LOL)

[ForceFagerstorm]

Friday Night Videos!!! Wow I miss those days.

[gdub520]

i dont remember exactly when this came out....but i remember that 'i feel for u' video' by chaka khan (with assists from stevie wonder and prince)...had breakin in the too...i dont 'member which vid came out first though

[koollatter]

@gdub, Gladys' song came out first in 1983. Chaka's came out in 1984

[kalif151byccrew]

malcolm mclaren 's "buffalo gals" is the first video. Your not even a bboy, don't speak on subjects you get second hand info on. Google that! because I live it.

[uzipolo]

to re interate what he is saying Blondie-rapture was a video that comes to mind that had the (or one of) the FIRST b boy elements as far as mainstraem goes lionel ritchie too in All night long but the video Planet Rock surpassed them all came out in 1982-says uzipolo-king of decatur

[FunkyRob]

Learned from questlove's twitter today that this was the first video put out that featured break dancing.

[rmbb10]

Man I love this song.

[TheOldschoolvato]

The good ol' dayz.. Very cool

[uriwvu]

Absolutely phenomonal. Incredible baseline, poppers n lockers, and Gladys on vocals.

[USAisAntiWhite]

Break dance was started by black punks in NYC. They did it to attract tourist and then they would have someone pick-pocket the tourist while they watched. BD doesn't exist because the cops were hard on the dancers & pick-pocketers. You can't trust those ghetto punks!

[rarabarak]

i remember when this first came out.thought it was cutting edge because they had breaking and popping in it

[gdub520]

...5,4,3,2,1!!!!

darlin' dont stay awaaaay tooo long...

love that part

[educhf]

awesome

[buggeazy]

this was the era when breaking was getting ready to fade away but this vid was more for the best that ever did it in this video...R.I.P breaking

[kalif151byccrew]

What are you talking about BBOY's didn't die off the culture stayed alive overseas. Get your history right. Just because you were a trend follower don't simiss heads really down for the culture

[buggeazy]

im not talking about overseas im talking about here you ass hole mmmmm

[kalif151byccrew]

I'm an asshole because I'm right and called you out? It only faded away from mainstream media because I personally did my part from NYC to Chicago to LA and even in Seattle. Like I said, you must just be some trend follower. BYC crew 20 years strong BBOYS andGraff writers. What have you done for this culture?

[buggeazy]

maaan i use to pop lock alil breaking and alil graff writing and i been in this game way befor you even saw into it im 43 years old... youngster

[kalif151byccrew]

so you got 10 years on me, why did you think breaking died off then? I don't know how young I think I am dude, but I'm still out here bboying heavy at 33 I won't make my age an excuse to stop.

[buggeazy]

yea yea thats cool keep doin what you do but all trends get old wat you gonna do break dance in your wheelchair?

[kalif151byccrew]

god willing, i teach my kids and others now. andinever said it wasa trend, you are making it out to be one. breaking is 30 plus years and strong man I wouldnt call it a trend its a culture. you wouldnt know nothing about that

[buggeazy]

daam im older then you and i wouldnt know about thaat!? you sound like krs-1....trends go out of style not cultures dude

[kalif151byccrew]

you wouldn't call it a culture? what do you call it?

[buggeazy]

a fade

[FunkyRob]

I've always referred to hip-hop as a subculture. I read it in a book years ago, so it must be true.

[buggeazy]

lool!!! 1:37

[guyland1989]

GO Gladys Knight u have a great voice Keep making ur hits

[cakedupboi]

Do yall remember when pizza hut used to sell those glasses that the model was wearing at 0:28 as part of the Back TO the Future promotion

[KINGMALYK]

this is what gave me the desire to breakdance....Damn look at all the BOOMBOXES...Classical !!!!

[USAisAntiWhite]

Ghetto blasters.

[buggeazy]

same here! after watching this video i went right outside on the cardboard i was already breakin but this vid. made me wanna try every move in the vid. its was so smooth they made it look easy lol

[ShangoJamal]

This is where I first saw Break-Dancing

[Janayla94]

An ex-friend on mine name Patrick from

Rayville, Louisiana had a girlfriend name Stacy that looked exactly like Gladys Knight but 30 years younger and that fucking idiot blew! She was such a sweet and nice young girl that he fucked it up with! What a total moron!

[Stepdizzle28]

SAVE THAT OVERTIME<THAT OVERTIME

[dxman4]

Woooow!!!

I love this video and Intro xD =)))

Excellent!!!

[damfkingdon]

I love Gladys and her chicken and waffles. ATL on the map for the past 50 years in music.

[ewingkha]

Peep the gray boom boxes and the break-dancers LOL I love it I love Glady's voice. When I was a kid I use to call them Glady's Knight and the Pimps.

[cbaz01]

I love you tube! She-it!!!

[bellathelady]

I had to here this twice....what a timeless old school classic!

[latinoguy]

Love the Breakdancing !!!

Brings back great memories of the Bronx.

[Suckerman12]

My god do I miss these days. I use to see most od these breakers back in the day when I lived in NYC. REST IN PEACE FREEZE

[Kamaria7]

Being 10 years old when this song came out, I automatically dug it because of the break dancers. So here I was listening to Gladys Knight on my little boom box and playing it on my record player. No wonder my mama used to laugh at me and say, 'Baby, that's your mama's music!' LOL!

[thedrknghtno1]

Good times, good memories...good SOUL!!

[LGKids]

Ah, real music at it's best! They don't and can't make songs like this anymore! Everyone wants to rush the romance and lovemaking nowadays! Slow it down, sing about it and then let it go where it will go! Peace to all GK and the P's fans and one day if we believe, real music will make it's comeback!

[nekrataal7]

check out the rhythmic strutting of Ms. Knight's body throughout the video. She really put her heart and soul in this song and I'm feelin' it!!!! The Pips are pimp as hell too. Might never see something like this again.

[olskaone]

classic! ...had this on vinyl once upon a time. some dog stole it.
