  • Who knows who the male vocalist lead is on this song. Made my day. Where is he today? And the video -- creativity at its finest. Wow! Pendev2745

  • dan luvz beckey

  • becky cordova tattoo dan luvs u 

  • so lovely

  • Some people know real music, some don't. Not even worth getting excited over it. Kids will learn, and then they won't be kids anymore.

  • omg i love it

  • My all time favorite song...I remember when SOS came to El Dorado, Ar...Awesome Group.

  • depressing

  • love this video so much i let my girlfriend listen to this song and she fill in love wit it

  • You can have your 'becky' I'll take it like this--old school and smooth. If you made a little more love--you would be less likely to want to shoot one another.(not just in the bed..in your hearts)...Ain't nothin' soft or square about showin' love...realize that before it's too late!!! Some people where conceived as this song was playing. if you where conceived to 'tare the club up' I FEEL SORRY FOR YA!!! lol...

  • Idk why i've had this dam song in my head for thee laz hour, but I gotta listen to it y earz are yerning for it ...lol

  • They can keep that video. But the song that's still the shit........

  • i love this song

  • how can someone dislike this song... there souldn't even be a dislike button for it.

  • it probably doesnt know any better they dont now good music 1

  • i remember did mariah carey did a cameo from this song for "always be my baby remix":)

  • I forgot how cheesy this video was, and the lead singer looks like that creepy uncle that you don't let around your kids. The female lead singer is sexy though. I wouldn't mind letting her listen to my heart.

  • TRUE REAL MUSIC WITH A MEANING OF LOVE!!!

  • My parents use to sing this to me when i was a baby #est.1995

  • dang , im only 13 & this song means way more to me than Keri Hilson , Rihanna , & any other new artist . it would be really nice if all of the old school musicians could comeback & make one more album .

  • see the thing is so called artist add too much bass and instruments this is a classic you can't get rihanna and nicki minag to sing this. ok i heard you the first time you like to have sex , wow really? stop the rubbing , licking , and suck me songs already!

  • people like tom joyner and steve harvey really don't know good music i never hear this song or any from sos

  • Love the SOS Band would be nice if they came to Raliegh NC!!!!

  • goosebumps.

  • Please don't pay attention to the idiots that felt the need to insult this song. They are below average, childest, ebonic speaking jerks that have no comprehension of quality music . Remember, they were raised post 1970s and 80s when music decended into the pits of hell and lulled dummys like the ones that insulted this song into believing that expressing yourself is somehow a sign of weakness. I pray that music like this is resurrected and ask all who love it continue to support it.

  • @dcride36 ROFLMBAO!!!! Well said my friend, well said!!!! = ) I try to be open minded, but music really isn't what it used to be.

  • love this , SOS gets down

  • I'm glad I can still do music like this. What I'd like to know is if I put out music like this again, would people buy it? (The ones that really know and love music).

  • @KingMellow11 buy it without question, don't trip, we still out here, "I fight for the funk, but it feels like I'm raving, bringing ole' skool' back because it needs saving." -self-

  • love this song...this were good times!

  • I found the video interesting. It showing that true love is real and sometimes people inadvertently hurt each other - but then they know it (realize it) right away (which is best) and stop what they are doing (see?). They see who they really love and that their behavior is wrong. The setting is no less than fascinating; they're on a real airship (the kind from the 30's and 40's) where the main cabin is set up as a ballroom. Up in the sky dancing! That is like, fabulous. I'd pay to do that!

  • how can u hate such a beautifull song?? This song is a MASTERPIECE...good music, Good Groove, good lyrics and good voices man this is a masterpiece + this track is clean of the NWO stuff. Music willneber be the same because the music industry is controlled by the nwo

  • Check out how Mary Davis is grooving her body to the music. The man lead vocalist is singing magnificently. The feathery harmonizing of all the members layering their voices have a heavenly sound. M. Davis has that way of "dropping down" with her voice. And, even when she goes up in register (2:48) she still sounds like she's singing in a low voice. Awesome fabulous vocal sound.

  • This is one my favorite songs!! I just love the ending of this song!

  • All is not lost. Lets get together and hold our own party of joy, love, and remembering the good times. After all we hold the key to our great performers. Lets make sure they never go away.

  • love sos band they were so hot and in tune with the people. this song is still a great hit today.

  • where have all the great music gone, my jamm snapp my fingers back to the 80s

  • This and there song just be good to me are the shit,songs like stanky leg,soldier boy,walk it out that shit is retarded.

  • wow, I have been listening to this song for quite some time...but had never seen the video until now..

    I'm only 27, and yes I listen to my rap and whatnot..but THIS...THIS IS MUSIC AT ITS FINEST. THANK YOU 1980S4EVER!!!!!

  • 20 people could´nt care less......sad really

  • The video is whack but the song is still to this day romantic. I've always loved this band.

  • @ceddybear68 How is the video wack? I thought it was good and creative - I love how they are performing on a blimp floating in the sky.

  • @chj2 - You have an interesting imagination if you actually liked that video. In my opinion, a video can enhance a song or it can disgrace it my friend. This video is clearly a dissapointment. Not to take away from the song at all. The video had nothing to do with the song. It was in poor taste too me. That's why I called the video whack.

  • Thanks for the video attempt! This song was so hott!!

  • Damn Mary is the BOMB!!!!!! She needs to give Brittney Spears and Rhianna lessons on how to be a top notch performer. She is a class act.

  • This was a serious hit in the city of Chicago. I wasn't but 11 when this hit. But damn, do I remember!!

    That 808 drum machine was a monster in its heyday. TimeFlyte had written just about every song of the 80's era.

    Music, was good back then. Artists had to express themselfs with skillful wordplay. Not like these crooks today, get on the mic and say a bounch B' and H's and then have the nerve to say they are an R&B act!

    Aint no more r&b, it's a wrap! Hell, that goes the same for Rap!

  • That 808 drum machine was a monster back in the day wasn't it? I wished that Sony's Mega Bass technology was more accessable in the mid 80's than it is now.

  • bad vid bt nevertheless it brought back a lot of memories, thanks for posting

  • agree

  • IT IS SCARY TO SEE HOW MUCH MUSIC HAS CHANGED,,,,I LOVE ALL THE OLD RNB MUSIC THE CLASSIC SOUL AND THIS SONG ...SO SO MANY MEMORIES ,,,,I NEVA FORGET ALL THE GOOD MUSIC IT WILL NEVA DIE,,,

  • lol looks like a cheap porn video..........this my shit monica didnt do bad on remake either

  • Lol @ 2:23

  • HD Quality at its best!! LOL

  • SOS like so many of the groups back then had their own sound but each were as good as the next.. Today we have repetitive rubbish that wouldn't have made the top 1000 back in the day...

  • you should get this song and play it in your car with the bass up a little and let them take you there. dont wreck.

  • this is one of best songs i have ever heard and i am a music consouivre. the feeling of the music just shakes your bones.

  • I was a little girl when this came out, this is the only kind of music my mom played, and i still love it, wow, times have changed.

  • Wow! Good times, this is real music. Guess im old now(43) my mom used to say the same thing about her music back in the day. Lol

  • @bojstafford This song is indeed real music. The video had class, elegance and the song expresses pure romance. It's good to see people still appreciate 80's music.

  • lil Boss

  • Holy shit!!! This song reminds me of that

    Movie Beverly hills cop II. Ok, in 70's

    Music videos, i see flash bits, dots, them

    Lines that go around the screen. In 80's

    Music videos, mostly I see what you see,

    Discoloration, distorted sound, most the time

    It would be very clean

  • SO 80's!!!

    SO Saturday Mornings on Soul Train!

    SO Saturday Afternoons riding w/my older brother to the mall to hang out!

    SO Sunday nights at the Skating Rink!

    DAMN I MISS THOSE DAYS MANNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!

  • @harmonicmenace dang i remember them days, going skating, i couldnt skate but i went with my cousin.

  • @LatriciaJohnson EXACTLY!!! Jus the fun of it all!!!!!

  • "My heart knows, that your my #1"

    What a line!

  • All you youngsters out there, pay close attention........BECAUSE THIS IS R & B!!!!!!!!!

  • ah falling in love ALL OVER AGAIN ,,, hmm xx

  • Classic song back in 1983.

  • Classic!!!

  • I used love this song when I was a little kid.

  • Monica remade this song on her debut album for Miss Thang in 1995

  • i still care for old school music always so yes i will tell you that i still care

  • This song is a sad reminder that R&B groups are extinct. Are there any R&B groups on the Billboard charts anymore?

  • @soscambo Mint Conditon...and that's about it.

  • @MyJunior1975 Mint Condition, Jill Scott, Hil St Soul, Leela James, Lalah Hathaway, Dwele, and many more. The thing is, alot of these idiotic radio stations won't even play their music, therefore adding to the misconception and confusion that says that only what is played on the radio is real music, which is straight up bullshit.

  • @chj2 As far as solo R&B artists, they are out there...and in mass abundance with huge radio play. Besides Mint Condition, when was the last time you've seen an R&B group? I haven't seen one in five years.

  • Did anybody notice Woody Harrelson @ 0:41? Does he get cool points for this? LOL!!

  • This song was guaranteed to make me cry then...and it's making me cry now. The first time I heard this song was leaving my mother's funeral. You'd think in 30 years I'd move on...

  • Comment removed

  • TELL ME.........

  • Wow, that is old. I remember my brother used to play this all day, all night. When I was sleeping , I used to have this song in my ear. Imagine 24/7.

  • Man this song is amazing!!!!!! Beautiful to listen to. Music like this WILL NEVER be duplicated. We'll never hear music like this today. Just a classic hit from the 80's.

  • the new ones should take a lesson from timeless music like this (when love was real).

  • ahhhh good vibin music, legendary, classic, and timeless! unfortunately music is at its worst but fortunately we have music like this to mend the heartbreak of todays music status!

  • DAMMIT CHIP! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU????!!!

  • Back when music was Music and today ..we have rihanna,lady gagy commercial lollipop Rap and creapy ass Rock music.

  • oow shit man this is fucking amazing.. i mena this is soo fucking amazing

  • jimmy jam and terry lewis y'all. who did Prince think he was firing???

  • tell me

  • I AIN'T HEARD THIS SONG IN SO LONG! I forgot this song even existed! This takes me back to the early days of BET and Video Soul! Those were days in which BET actually portrayed black people positively!!!

  • I get so nostalgic when I hear this

  • Sounds Of Success Band are part of the soundtrack of my life. This is my favorite SOS Band cut.

  • Rakim - New York to Cali he samples this beat on it

  • im only 16 and this is the only kinda music i listen to other stuff is jus garbage

  • L-O-V-E this song; old school yet real cool. I can listen to this song everyday; morning, noon or night.

  • LMFAO @ 3:47..did she really just listen to his heart.. but anywho i LOVE THIS SONG

  • you could'nt pay a thug today to sing in a group or sing a song like this to save his life.because this would be considered soft or gay. man it's really scary people i'm only 43 & in 20 years how music has when from love,passion,substance,creativ­ity, to my dick,my bitch,my ride,my possee,my bling,my gun, the strip club and other senseless garbage.can any of these clowns slow it down and sing about love & passion? the era of great music & great groups are over.it's all thugged out now, real sad.

  • @str8outtatexas1 WOW im 29 and i totally agree with you! , Thank God there are groups like these here on YOUTUBE that remind us what it should be like. I grew up in these many changes in music but, There still is a little glimpse of hope because of the FEW good artist now that have depth and substance.

  • @str8outtatexas1 There are groups in this genre, but let's face it there's no market for them. Back then, yes, but nowadays it's like the same in mid 00s, just plain garbage.

  • @str8outtatexas1 I agree with you on that... im 44 now and a DJ and i used to play the new stuff a few months ago but not anymore. Old school still fills my heart with pure soul. 70s and 80s is my era of love.

  • @str8outtatexas1 Man, It's sad that music is so bad that I'm forced to watch youtube to see classics. I shouldn't have to do that when I can listen on my radio.  But I can't, because it's nothing but garbage. One of the best bands in our time.

  • @visionimagify Ur not the only one so dont feel lonely, it truly is a sad thing

  • @str8outtatexas1 Yah I feel yah...Don't even get me started with that gaga nonsense! ahhhhhhhhh makes vomit sound

  • @str8outtatexas1  completely wrong my friend

  • @str8outtatexas1 I agree with you - to a point. Why? Because, the dominant music scene today is the playground (PUN INTENDED) of the thug, B$#@!, court jester, village idiot, and MINSTREL, which in itself is a recipe for some mind-numbing, dumbing-down, ig'nant bullshit. When I'm in my car, I dont' even turn on the radio - especially talk radio, which also has mostly succumbed to this idiotic assault. I look for underground and independent artists for the most part as they rep intelligently.

  • @str8outtatexas1 i 4eva agree. they scared to reveal their REAl sides. nowadays, people are fakin it 2 be makin it. they only cared of this pettiness & money. ya cant take it 2 yall or come home knowin ya lonely on an bed. 4real these punks make it disgraceful 2 be an black man nowadays. anyways i love this song 2 death. when i see this song. i'll think of Martin & Gina of Martin show. the last show to show love in tha 90's
  • @UltraDOG17 they don't know what music is homie. They r all fake ..punk ass music with nasty ass autotune crap..that's not music thats trash !

  • @LowRagg

    Amen my brotha

    i want love like Genuine like Gourmet that's be everlasting.

    God bless all u lovers & stay tight with each other.

    they wanted folks like sex pigs.

    God bless S.O.S.

  • @str8outtatexas1 So true.

  • This is the shit straight old school k

  • Being 38 (39 in June) I look at the quality of the lyrics and music from "Old School" and it makes me wonder what happened? Todays music is "microwave" and how the "slow cook method" is lost now days. The lyrics can make my younger sisters (27 & 25) tell me how women were seen as something to get back into your life and not just to get some "P" from. Sad huh? Can todays music make you tear up?

  • The S.O.S BAND, there will never be music like this again. They were ahead of their time. This is from the time when artists actually had talent. Not like the bastards of today. Whoever told Lil" chimp he should even attempt to get on a stage really lied to that boy. No talent even on accident.

  • girl can sang....sing it sister.....
