Kool & The Gang - Joanna

[thecarebearhideaway]

This is most certainly one of the greats of the 80's, both the band and the song! It is just so smooth and calming. I can remember sitting by the river and playing this song on a nice warm summer night and dreaming of how wonderful life was then. I never would have thought for a second that life would have changed so drastically from that time. The 80's was such a magical time to be alive. There has just never been a time like that again and never will. The best memories and times of my life!:-)

MerchantofTarshish, that may be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard!

[1phatboy83]

[LAWoman323213]

@1phatboy83 That's awesome!

[mahajohn]

OMG! The singer from Kool & the Gang is an Immortal, just like Connor MacLeod! THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!!

[AznBurritos]

Joanna :D

[cindymaley]

Great song. Thnx

[denkey3458]

What kind of sick, disturbed, frustrated people dislike this music.? Really, I mean you must be very damaged in some way!

[roscao2009]

fantastic,,not one single bad word ,,pure quality ,,,

[mahajohn]

No one can make such beautiful unadorned melodies these days, nor can they sing anywhere so skillfully. Jeez. I never thought our culture could devolve so much musically over three decades. Sad.

[SuperJL1968]

I'm a Van Halen fan, and I'm going to enjoy seeing Kool and the Gang, always liked their music. I play bass, and ladies night was one of my first songs I learned.

[mabel71000]

BEST use of intruments! Very good music!! Wonderful group!

[DonnaMomma050]

THE BROTHA'S IN THIS GROUP ARE ALL SO FINE, LORD HAVE MERCY,THIS WAS ALWAYS MY JAM

[MsAntonio59]

Quelli erano bei tempi, non lo schifo che stiamo vivendo in questi anni!!

[cliffcooldog]

The are opening for Van Halen. LOL.

[frostedhead]

Fuck the old republic!

[ChihuahuaboyDH]

A great video of a great song! I wonder why MTV never aired it back in 1983-84? "Joanna" peaked on Billboard's pop singles chart in January 1984!

Bravo, Kool & The Gang!

[haza942]

@ChihuahuaboyDH maybe because they were black... i heard MTV werent even gonna play billie jean, because mj was black, ridiculous, so stupid music is irrespective of race

[friendobrians]

why in the f@#$ isnt there a "kool and the gang" out there now? music needs 'em

[ultrastark1]

@friendobrians well perhaps ceelo is a start...he is unique like kool and da gang, kc and da sunshine band lionel ritchie etc.

[12jajajajajaja]

i was only 12 but loved the group good music

[ukibasuki]

bagus keren 

[PecheMelba113]

AMAZING

[AvidAngels]

Look like Cafe Robina in Vice City, America back in 1984 :)

[johannana123]

Oh my god they love me

[MzShoeFreak]

I asked my mother where my song was like Blue Ivy Carter she said it's Joanna lucky her that's my name she got off easy!! LOL

[MARIO47502]

Oh god when music was real music. i danced my life away to this song  happy day;s..***

[neilo211067]

faz parte de um sentimento que eu buscava no passado e que hoje eu vivo no presente plenamente uma história que por deus não vai ter fim.que no futuro tá ficando mais forte e que essa música me transmite.

[RyanKBoman]

One of the smoothest jams ever! God, i miss songs like this!

[MrCallaway27]

[tunislibre59]

[mattdaddyful]

"KIDS"..Try to match this CLASSIC...Im angry SO I Apologize ahead of Time.FUCK your M&Ms Littl Jayne Pit FOOL...Get a LIFE and ENJOY REAL MUSIC...P.S.Pull your FU&*ING PANTS UP SCUM

[FireitupBedford]

@mattdaddyful Well you have to understand that alot of so called artist have NO talent to start with and the only way to make it is to take a bite out off the classics. So I feel ya...

[Hawke90]

@mattdaddyful LMAO

Props for an old dude talking shit. Refreshing to see.

[TheLandols]

a mi me gusta el metal y todos sus subgeneros, pero estas rolas me llegan... son unas chingonerias de rolas manita arriba

[afuller1911]

This was one of those song when you thought you where in love.

[VictorP15]

Así se deben de tratar a las mujeres actuales como en esta canción y no como las de hoy que tienen puro contenido sexual!!!

[sheilamartinez619]

IF THIS DOESN'T MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD NOTHING WILL!

[kdw456]

@sheilamartinez619 indeed

[XMEOwner1]

Dig the Jerry Curls.

[ayayayify]

corny as hell but i don't care ;)

[stunninglad1]

My 5th favorite record from 1984.

[reyes4430]

esta musica es muy relajante deliciosa para mis oidos

[jtmichaelson]

I love how you go to reminisce with a great old song, like this and Vevo shoves an ad for new music ... as if to make sure our point in clear -- 80's still remains timeless and still exciting.

[IBTMorimoto]

this song is full of emotion :)

[BrandonsGirl6308]

I was named after this song :) 

[pickzkickz]

Is that Clyde Drexler!? lol. Just kidding...I'm an R&B Guru! lol

[gh990513]

@pickzkickz LOL. The sax player at 3:27 looks like another former Houston Rocket, Mario Elie.

[MerchantofTarshish]

...back in the day when we black people weren't known for ghetto music..

[FFing100]

Great tune - though the main melody/chorus is the same as Wham 'Last Christmas!'!

[party80100]

I luv this song i will forever remind me of my grandma and my days in port lavaca texas..u are my angel now..

[phatman167]

i used to love this song so much my sweetheart had fits cause she thought I was in love with her friend named Joanna!

[Marc82193]

My father used to whistle this tune when he was working on something didn't matter what it was he would whistle this song God Knows I miss him.

[pasquale1968]

This song reminds me Last Christmas of Wham even though it was recorded for first

[PapeHagneDuSenegal]

Joanna,I'm only 17 but I saw this song as if I lived at that time

[bakhtn]

[BobbyBluesify]

[ponnef]

[skiptomile]

bitches and hoe's are not women! they are bitches and hoe's! I respect the ladies!

[epicbikerguy]

This diner still exists in Lyndhurst, New Jersey on Orient Way next to 7/11. I used to eat here almost every weekend after work. I had no idea this song was filmed here until I just happened to watch this video and was like, "Oh s*** it's the Colonial Diner!" lol

[ednoroirika]

@epicbikerguy did the gang stop by and sing to you?

[DJGahann]

@epicbikerguy Haha, ok I won't criticize your taste for going out, but that's simply epic! I, being Dutch, attended a job training in Boston, USA, about 1,5 yrs ago and visited the place the TV series "Cheers" was recorded at :)

[Marilyn1966]

This is when MTV meant something, when vids were real classics, instantly.

[Marilyn1966]

Awesome memories! :D  Smooth as buttah.

[paola8316]

LOVE that song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Investigator219]

Made me want to change my name....I love JT!!!

[arkont]

Great song and beautiful video. I miss the days when music videos actually tried to tell a story. Today the videos seem to be more about showing as much skin as possible. Sad.

[hennie186]

I don;t like joanna's....WWHHHAAAA!!!!

[2NightAmerica]

God bless 80s !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[joanna8009]

[panisse83]

[joeyyo5]

My name is Joanna =]

[lilphilraps]

Joanna

[dellxm]

black stupid rappers and hip hop sissy's should listen to how men talked and respected woman not long ago. these days all you hear are the words hoe's bitches baby momma

[thaisi76]

@dellxm totally agree,where has the real music gone

[ciarraibuzz]

@dellxm You took the words right out of my mother. I could not agree more. BTW, this song has knocked me out since the first time I heard it back in the 80's. Thanks.

[dokke10001]

vai tomar no olho do seu cu seu filho de vagabunda manada esse homen e essa mulher enfir um pau no seu cu seu filho da puta desgraçado de merda

[dokke10001]

esse cara ai de bacho deve ser uma bicha

[bilmarlareau]

@dellxm

You are right Dellxm, today black rappers are all Moda foka, they don't know how to talk to ladies. They should learn from Kool and the gang, but they are too dumb to learn.

[MrRunescapeportugal]

@dellxm Love your commentary

[MzSiddiqui]

@dellxm Its not just black rappers that disrespect woman silly!

[DirtyFaceCapon3]

@dellxm It works both ways.This is the world/society we inherited.Women act like ho's and the men act like dogs.I can't single out one gender because we're all fucked up.

There's no "innocent" gender.Women have forgot how to get respect and men have forgotten how to give it.It's a fucked up "equality" but that's the way it is right now

[pierdola]

@dellxm Amen.

[jtmichaelson]

We saw the good times of the 80's go away when Run-D.M.C.'s career was sideswiped by an uglier rap and then the only thing we could count on was Kurt Cobain. By 1994 it was done and over.

[Taisho999]

@jtmichaelson Totally agree. Music started going down the shit hole from 1993 onward gangsta rap started coming to the forefront and music been crap ever since.

[entertainme3000]

@dellxm I know I despise those words. If their mentioned in my presence I tell them not to say such things. Women shouldn't have to be put down with such filthy names

[LivinOnTheAshes]

Sittin here thinking about the one I love...truly miss this kind of music....but these are classics and never get old.......this makes my soul sing

[cof4666]
