Jenny Burton was supposed to stay with C-Bank, but Atlantic records gave her a good offer. and had an agreement with Next Plateau records. So, you use another vocalist since C-Bank is really a studio group.
Everyone has a favorite C-Bank vocalist, but there were quite a few, and the truth is that they were all "guest vocalists". There was no one official vocalist and C-Bank was a collaborative group and some would say "project". My personal favorite is Eleanor Mills who sang on three songs - "Good Till The Last Drop", "Get Wet", and the duet "Nightmare of a Broken Heart". The vocalist in this video is actually pretty good and puts on a good show too.
i cant believe theres tape of these people singing amazing i was there almost every weekend going on 25yrs plus now it was a great fun time to go to the clubs thanks for putting these tapes on
Hello I'm the person in this video , and i'd like to inform you that although i did not sing the original version of this song ( i always give Diana credit) , I did re-record the vocals on the show tape. Therefor these are MY VOCALS not Dianas. Please compare the sounds you will clearly hear the difference.
@55chevy4ever Hey I would Love to talk to You If you are the TRUE DIAMOND EYES !!! Or If you know her, PLEASE ask her to reach out to me !!! Thank YOu !!!
There were a few "C-Banks. The one that did "Perfect" was Geminis... (AKA ... Joei Mae), but the one who did I Won't Stop Loving You was Diamond Eyes. The person in this video is Geminis. She had permission to do All C-Bank songs.
OMG I used to love this song so much. One of my top 5 favorite old school freestyles songs. I used to memorize every word of this song ha ha ha....and I used to sing it. I want to be a teenager again! ha ha ha... Best times of my life...
great song !!! fyi there were several singers who sang for C-Bank: Jenny Burton sang One More Shot, Diamond Eyes sang this one, and Geminis sang Perfect & I'm so in love with you. Ahhh the memories - classic freestyle will never fade away ;)
Ok, so I think I posted a comment a while back....but....as much as I always loved this song, this "singer" is NOT C-Bank. I used to work in a club in NY, Sweet Sensations, and C-Bank performed live there and she was a black haired, thick young woman. So as with many songs, they get some "pretty" woman to pretend to be the artist to sell songs too Fu****g funny lol.
She is not the original singer for this song, Jenny Burton was. But she was singing it back then. And she is a hell of a singer now. Her name is Joei Mae!
Who was Diamond Eye's? I have the single to this track and it's C-BANK Feat. Diamond Eyes... I always figured C-Bank was the producer and Diamond Eyes was the artist... What do I know!!! lmao
Jabvel Are you the actual singer for this song? Forgive me for ignorance. But these songs bring me so many good memories. I will always treasure them. thank you.
I fell in love with this song when I heard it on the radio in Florida in Dec. '86 and a few months later back in Chicago. I still have the 12" single. I play keyboards as a hobby, and it was this song that inspired me to buy an EMAX II sampling keyboard and write my own freestyle dance music.
dudes look for the 12 inch record on ebay its like close to 20 bucks but its a jewel bealive me once you listen to the acapella version your gonna cry i cried its just amazing it has 4 diferent versions great great great all the way
yeah this stands as one of my all time favorite Freestyle songs!! It gives me goosebumps, especially in the middle break with the horn section!! off da hook!!
The girl who was performing here was not the original singer. This is the one who sang "I'm so in love with you" , if anyone has that please post it. She also is the singer who did "Promise me your heart" under the name Joie Mae. Great voice, great stage presence. I don't remember the name of the original singer, Mickey Garcia told me once, but can't remember for the life of me. If anyone knows, please refresh my memory.
Brielle8383...the original singer who recorded this song was Diana Garcia. She recorded it in the studio, but this C-Bank re-recorded her own vocals to do the shows.
Thank you, how could I have forgotten her name...same as Mickey's. I love Breida's voice, but I like it much more on "I'm so in love with you" I love Diana's on this song, it had more of a "raw" quality.
I used to know someone who was at Vinymania records, and when the Joei Mae record came out, I said to him "I know this voice", and he said "course ya do" and told me it was the girl from c-bank "so in love with you". Best ending of any song "so in love with you; "...even though you treat me like you do..." POWERFUL.
What happend to Diamond Eyes? The song "Forever Yours" by Face from Micmac Records-the vocalist sounds exactly like Diamond Eyes. I could be wrong-does anyone know for sure about this?
OMG!! C-Bank! Diamond Eyes!! Old skool for real!!! "I Won't Stop Loving You" is probably my favorite Freestyle song of all time!! Dat song is FIIIIIIIIIIIRE!!!! Live on Freestyle!!
i was born on this music(1986)and thats why i got the 80s era in me from.i love music from 80s and 90s but like 2000s music but 2000s music ant got shit on the 80s and 90s music and thats real talk.
I LOVE FREESTYLE MUSIC!!! even if i was born in 1990, i grew up on this shit, and glad i was, this shit gives you a hair tingling feeling, with super great/old/special memories to come with it
I remember seeing C Bank at The Rainbo and Jenals in Chicago. Man the 80's were good. I wish i could transport back to those times, if only for a song or two.
i was born in 1984 and for some reason music from this era, freestyle is a major part of my life, i rather this music than the bullshit that comes on the radio these days, lil suzy, stevie b, c-bank, alisha, judy torres......HAILING FROM THE BAHAMAS!!
This song it used to be perfome by DImond eyes, she is the original and only one. Diana soy el amigo de jose recuerdas, me emocione tanto creyendo que eras tu, pero no. espero que todo te vaya bien. God bless you dimond eyes where ever you are. From Puerto Rico
OK, this takes me straight back to 1985 when I was in Junior High school. High Energy was HUGE in the Bay Area during the mid 80's - early 90's. And I wore acid washed jeans/jackets exactly like she has in this clip. WOW! Thanks for the memories.
yes freestyle was big in the bay area me in my mini truck freestyle on my girl with the big hair style next to me . driving down santa clara st sweet.
Ahh! I cannot get enough of this song. I just love to listen to it all the time. I finally bought this cd that has the whole song. I really need to get C-Bank's Greatest Hits so I can have "Perfect" too.
Hey man, thanks for the song again. You know, I just bought this dvd, Kings & Queens of Freestyle Vol. 1 and it shows a flyer for a L'Amour East. I know that it showed the Cover Girls were performing on the flyer.
Hey man, I hope you don't mind but I posted this and a couple other of your vids on a myspace bulletin, but I put a link in the bulletins to your page. Thanks for sharing your videos. They're great.
HeartTrob!!! I went there when i was about 16-17 years old. Saw Little Louie Vega Spin! It was a great experience. It's what made me want to become a D.J. The Clown Face D.J. booth was hot!!!!
amazing! please hook up more video of freestyle acts like this from back in the day....last time i saw c-bank perform was in miami in 1989...blast from the past!
Great memories, great flashback thanks for the live vid : )
