A very new school Janet Jackson. I caught this on WNEW-TV Metromedia(channel 5) on an early Saturday morning at 1:30am back in October '82 on a black and white tv during my days in the 6th grade at I.S. 52 in The Bronx. Thanks for posting this video clip on here.
OMG!!! I remember seeing this , first run!! Janet was black america's princess! She had FAME going on too! These were the days!!!! Next," Come give your love to me" the next week on American Bandstand!
@TenayaG10 lol, this wasnt what she meant, she means she's cut it SHORRT lol, like very short in the past (the 1995 MTV VMA's), but still this is the shortest it's been since then, Im sure.
I was only 4 when this was released but I would've loved to have been able to follow Janet from the beginning of her music career. I really didn't get into her music until "Pleasure Principle" was released. It was more of an age thing than a dislike for her earlier work.
DAMN not one, "You know what I am saying", or "You know what I mean,". Man I love it when latino and black performers did not have to play illiterates or act as if they do not have any sense in order to be accepted or popular. WE REALLY NEED TO GET BACK TO THAT.
I heard the album with this song and it was good... i think because it was released the same year as her brother''s monster album it was a bit overshadowed... still a good song and great album nonetheless...what a god blessed talented family
I miss Soul Train and Don Cornelius. This show was why I use to wake up on Saturday mornings, hurry and clean the house, so I could watch tv this and American Band Stand and Solid Gold. I miss those days. I don't see anything wrong with Mr. Cornelius' interviewing skills.
@simplythebest40 Pretty much, if you see someone on Soul train with no band, or instrament the odds of it being live is low, but even with some bands they still werent playing (like Klymaxx, etc.), so if there was a band on stage Id say its a 70% chance they were live, but you have some who still werent.
@jarrylfo Ha ha ha...What are you in your 30s? 20s? I was still a baby in the 1970s LOL...You actually don't even check and do research before you make a statement like that?!? Jesus, go back to Soul Train in the early 1970s and you can see acts performing LIVE with instruments and musicians, here's one for ya: Damita Jo Freeman and James Brown. Feed your head. I'm outta here....
@Khultan Awww I really hurt your little feelings by saying that everybody lipsynched? Wow, I dont know wheather or not to feel sorry for you or laugh at you, I think its a perfect mix of both. 1st off that was sarcasism saying EVERY SINGLE person on Soul Trains history lipsynched. I know about 8-9 people didnt for about 2 years. Sarcastic or not, more artist/singers lipsynched on there than sang live. Just facts. Stay outta here cause your dumb ass is blocked. Later kid.
@jarrylfo Why you no good, ungrateful overgrown brat. I showed YOU up with one example of a band PLAYING LIVE on the Soul Train set to debunk your foolish claim. Oh, NOW, you say it's sarcasm. Whatever. I just did my noble and humble part to pass on information as a public service. Oh, and you're welcome...brat.
@columbia81 The shows not known for its live singing is my point, the percentage of lip synced performances in this shows history out weigh the live performances over double
@skinnyminnie2008 Doesn't matter if shes lip singing, its still a good song that is by the same artist. Just enjoy the song, its great <3. It just sucks that theres not still good music like this today. I'm 16 but I grew up to this type of music, I still think its awesome. People don't appreciate great music today, sadly.
Wow, what memories....i was 8 years old when this song came out!!
i used to love this song, it was my first time hearing her sing by herself professionally...Angela and Rene produced this and you can hear Angela Wimbushe's background vocals. Great Music from the incomparable Miss Jackson. Thanks for the post sweety!! you are doing your thing!!!!
Love the video, thanks for sharing. I miss soul train. The only thing i didnt like about it is every single artist on it lipsyncd'. I love janets first album...but don't mess up this good thing , is the best track on it. Janet uses her pipes on that track.
what a great song produced by( rene and angela) ive got the promo copy US, 82 GREAT JANET, YOUNG BOOGIE TUNE, ALGERIA FUNK
