Whether this is regina or madonna singing or a combnation, it is so beautiful. What everything else is missing, innocence. Love is innocent, pure, world altering... and all around :s Our heart the intense tool, our soul holds the luminous essence of all that we can be... Clearer up close, yet more wistful from afar... The more you get, the more you need. The more you see, the more blind you get to any imperfection. It's the answer, yet there is no question ;)
FIRST OF ALL....Regina has a great voice in and for this caliber of music, great pitch, great tonality, great sustaining!! NO NEED for special effects on this voice!!! SHE could/should still be making records regardless of the slight resemblance to "M"!!! THIS song is STILL has the heat!!!!
I heard a rumor that SIRE Records payed off Regina's label to limit record sales cause Regina sounded too much like Madonna and Regina actually did not need reverb or studio engineers to sound as good as she does. Regina suppose to still be receiving royalties and living great.
@MrBbigheadd I remember hearing the samething back in 1986-87? Her voice, I think, is and was better than Madonna's.More emotion and she can carry her pitch!! Love her voice! It's like she's singing this song to me in my living room!!
@chuckers40 I Could Not Agree More 1986 Was A Great Year Janet Jackson had Control, Madonna was True Blue, Prince was on Parade, Dead Or Alive was Mad, Bad, & Dangerous To Know and then there were many great one hit wonders to keep us groovin'
love this song poor Regina sounded so much like Madonna but never really got going. This song has great music and her vocals are spot on for this song.
I danced myself silly to this great tune in the 80's. Just so smooth and elegant vocals with a great beat. I always thought it was a Madonna song...but the vocals always seemed so much better than Madonna...and I am a big Madonna fan:) This is an 80's classic and Regina is a great singer!! Love it!
@IRONMANHONDO87 U and me both dude! We are fortunate to have lived in that era of music....there will NEVER EVER be another time like that. Thanx haebee for the post too!
@drfunk911 Hell no dude! This was the shit in the clubs back then...Lisa Lisa, Madonna, Michael, Nu Shooz, etc...when going to clubs was fun and the music had energy...unfortunately, we will never see those times again or hear the quality of music like that.
Summer of '87, I was 40 y/o, & looking the best I ever did. This was #1 in all the clubs in the SF Bay Area--I know--I was in all of them that year--& oMg, the Ladies!!! Wolfsky9
musica dos meus tempos....essa e d++++++......me faz relembrar com muitas saudades desse tempo....abraçus a todos e não deixem morrer essa geração......sempre flash house
Rumour was for many years that Madonna had sung backup on Regina's album since Regina had been one of Madonna's early backup singers. Madonna has never confirmed this though.
This version sounds even more Madonna-esque lol. Very much like 'holiday' actually now that I hear it again... Or definitely anything off her first record.
tell me where you can find this song, so i can upload it to my ipod!!!! Itunes,or anywhere else for that matter!! I tried to upload it from mp3raid.com, but even those files are corrupt, and won't work!!! why is this such a hard song to get???
madonna or not regina had her own voice unlike fake millivanilli fans now thats fake this song was great for the young teens in love back in the 80's hey i was there and went through it baby love all day long sweet
@discovery781 ...Regina NEVER wanted to be a Madonna-type artist! She fought that image tooth and nail against her record company, who DID want to fashion her as a Madonna-type. Because, of course, that's where they felt the money was. A damned shame. Regina actually had another band that was much more cutting edge. Regina Richards.
@discovery781 ...Exactly. Producer/record company fashioned the sound, coached the vocal. But it wasn't her style personally, and she was unhappy about it.
It was written by Stephen Bray who was in a band with Madonna early on and who was also responsible for some of her early hits, hence the similar sound
@DjAmaZonX WELL said, thank you!!! Just give me access to a radio station for a week (with total freedom to play what I/the public wants). Great tunes like this WOULD again see the light of day.
When this song first came out back in the 80's I was hooked. Sadly I was never able to find the album. 12 years later I was in a record shop looking through their used cassettes and there it was. Years later on youtube I finally saw the video. This song will always be my favorite.
Oh my god. I have her etched in my memory for eternity after seeing her on TV in, well, about the time this song was released. It sounds just like "Spotlight", by Madonna.
Personally I think that IS Madonna on the chorus. She could have recorded the song, and then rejected it upon hearing this "demo" version, and then Regina completed it. I'm sorry, but that IS her voice on the chorus. Madonna's 80s voice is un-mistakenly distinct...and frankly beautiful.
I've been looking for it too, but Itunes & Amazon are a no :( Itunes has some Euro girl group that did a cover, but it does not come close to Regina !
just think it couldve been madonna singing this, but she refused and turned it down, its such a shame as even the production on this is pure madges debut album, dannii minogues version from 1991 is good, the album version though, not the single remix, check that out.
thanks so much to whom ever put this on I;ve been searching for this for so long LOVE LOVE LOVE it it was always one of my favorites at a special time in my life!!!
I call my 1 yr. old niece baby love. I remembered this song and came searching on YT. I too thought it was Madonna. She is dancing her little heart out right now. My nieces and nephew love 80's music better than today's music. I wish I can go back in time to the 80's for a year and visit each year from 80-89.
I really don't care what critics have to say about Regina's "Baby Love" But I remember this being one of my favorite songs that I waited to hear on the radio. I remember being in NYC hearing this song back when it was released and it was so refreashing to hear this inside hit. I was writing a letter today and heard this song on Music Choice. I love how Regina impacts you after the bridge. This is one of the best songs I've heard on the radio from a major label artist. You have to impact today.
Just like many others I was fooled to believe this song was Madonna's. Heck, Regina's and Madonna's voices are very similar the music sounds the same! But hey, I learned something new! Now I'm curious about the rest of her songs.
Memories indeed...forgot a little about this gem I have to admit..I am more into searching the first half of the 80's classics...but this is a truly lovable oldschool dancerecord (in great quality) from '86.
Madonna never did sing on this song. This song was written for Madonna (Madonna refused it) but was given to Regina Richards. Everyone thought Madonna did this song when it first came out. Stephen Bray produced this song which is another reason it sounds like early Madonna.
exactly, Steve did write some catchy tunes but they are somewhat formularized and predictable. In 1990, when he wrote Rhythm Of Love for Kylie it was a good decision of Madonna to finish working with him.
Did you know that Nick Scotti's song Get Over was supposed to be on The Immaculate Collection?
"Madonna's new single." That's what I thought in 1986 anyways.
