  • Makes you miss Midnight love on B.E.T

  • @313BeatsBeast You hit the nail on the head. I loved that show growing up.

  • damn she even sexier than Beyonce in her prime

  • This album she released in 1988 was the bomb, people have always slept on the talent that Cherrelle has, but this cut was the truth, plus, she was fine as hell.

  • imagine my 6 year old singing this song ,i teach my children love song cause i grow up wit it.

  • im married an having an affair wit the man i really love.please dont judge me.i cant help it,an i love this song

  • @MultiLizann i understand shit happens

  • 11 people didn't find everything they were missing at home

  • candle lights...wine...u and your mate/partner...looking into each other eyes...#classic

  • Cherrelle was and still is one badass chick

  • You got to show some love to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for getting them two together to do their incredible song...

  • Did Alex and Cherrelle ever hook up? They would have made a heck of a couple!

  • Great song but when Alexander O'Neal comes in with the "OOOOOO WEE BABY!" that was the BEST!!! That brova couldn't sing, he could SAAAANG!!!

  • great song

  • Oooooh! this was my song... I love it!!! Cherelle, Girl you will live on!!!

  • 1:21 classic '80's goin' out outfit

  • janet jackson lucky that she is a JACKSON. lol because this lady gave her the run for her money, without MJ in her corner!!!!! alexander doing the background vocals on this song is incredible......

  • the mmusic is relaxing.....

  • i was in the video industry when cherelle / alex / pebbles / babyface / time / prince ruled the airwaves i had a big poster of pebbles with thoses sexy azz lips in my office ...man the 80's were awesome with old school r & b not knowing that in our other divison rap was nothing

  • Beautiful music! Great memories!

  • Any one in love.listen to this.Damn my jam makes me love my man more...

  • Beautiful music, takes your mind away to another place.

  • i love this song i was only 4 when it come out haa old skool

  • I remember it was still on my radio alot in 1990 even it was 2 years old at that time.

  • Man!! Why they don't make RnB like this no more????? I was only freakin' almost 8 years old when this came out.

  • My Dad used to listen to this when I was in Elementary school. Seemed to be his favorite song.. OOOOH DAD!! LOL

  • DAMN SHE FINE

  • I like at 2:38 when Alex O'Neal chimes in.

  • Man this brings back fond memories...Love it

  • I was 6 years old when this came out, an i liked it then....but now that im grown i can understand an apprecitate music like this! Thumbs up if U undersatnd me :^)

  • Comment removed

  • This is real music that you can feel in your Heart & Soul which is so unlike the new shit of today that has no feeling or emotion. Old School R&B will live on forever through YouTube. Other music is dead!

  • You all talking about how good this song is......... TRY LISTENING TO THE ENTIRE ALBUMS!!! YOU ALL ARE IN FOR A TREAT!!! IT'S REALLY GOOD!!! AND I MEAN I CANT PUT IT DOWN!!!

  • @PopCulture20 I Couldn't Agree More...Track After Track...From Beginning To End...

  • Its music like this that makes me think back to bring back Midnight Love I used to stay up every night from 11pm to 12am to see Midnight Love this is when music was music then every friday is when they did the throwback slow jamz I miss Midnight Love it need to be back on tv and go back to music like this

  • and YES Alexander O neil was on his way,if he fell of it wasnt because of "powder" he was weak mnded,but i love him all the same,all true man,thats my shit,,I was ahgesd of my time then,now I understand it.

  • ah this my shit,you know when I was wayyy younger I felt this song,now i know what its all about,thank u....

  • Unsung on Cherrelle and Alexander O'Neal was great!!! It's too bad that a little white powder shortened the career of Alexander. He was well on his way to being what Marvin was to Motown during its heyday.

  • east side love for this one

  • her and pebbles are first cousins

  • I love this song!! Classic love song...I miss the 80's!!

  • Damn she looked so sexy in this video . Clearly her best single .

  • only haters would dislike a cherelle cut

  • love it

  • dam she is beautiful I LUV BLK woman but don,t like dealing with there bad attitudes and drama and bs.

  • did she sang a song called seven days a week?

  • you mean saturday love yea that was her

  • @johnied8509 nooooo! i know that it was a song called 7 days a week or at least that was in the chours. she sounded like Cherrelle..about 89 or so... ill have to look it up.

  • My God.....what happened to music like this??????

  • @valiente16 I agree with you.

  • [iminent=LEU0l7YVffOB]

  • This is a very laid back, classy track. Now how many singers today are there today who can pull off such subtlety while remaining engaging and sensual. This type of singing is a lost art.

  • @MadameRee totally agree

  • 11 people dislike this song. That's 11 people who are not getting "Everything they miss at home."

  • super artist

  • I miss sexy, sensual videos like this.Not the booty flapping u see today...

  • to the ol schoolers don't let the music of our time die share it with your children let them know where this music thang evolved from.....songs such as this!

  • music back in the day had so much class!....

  • i love dhis song

    i listen tew it everydaii

  • ooowee! baby!

  • I'm losing my mind, just listening to this song. This song truly is no joke!!!

  • This song is no joke everything I really miss at home..... Such a classy song luv it baaaaaad......

  • really good music..ust cant get this type of feeling from radio anymore!

  • that song used to make me cry when i was about 10. love u youtube

  • Great song!!

  • i remember gorwing up to this song...I didnt think anything of it when I was a small kid..but as i go through the music that my mom used to Jam...this song is pretty cool! It has soul and feeling...so sad how the mainstream doesnt have stuff like this no more : (  i love some of the music nowadays but back then there was more soul : )

  • I love this song. It has timeless appeal. What a talent. Youngsters today will never experience exposure to pure music by truly talented artist like Cherelle.

  • Boy,ya'll hear Alex?That nigga can...."blow"!!!#cocainesahell­uvadrug

  • This was THE jam... 

  • This is the downfall of progression our niche of music could not be Fd with now , today some of the music is good but most of it is watered down 80s mid 90s golden age of great black music RIP

  • I enjoyed UnSung on Alex and Cherrelle i the stuff they went through and my condolences to you Cherrelle on you losing your sister and your ex husband.

  • wtf happen to the music nowadays! i like alot of music now but it doesnt hit the heart like it did when i was growing up to music like this.

  • Click like if you saw her on UnSung

  • @gemini19662010

    That was one of the best Unsung episodes they had!!! They made some hits!!!

  • This was my JAM!!! Thank you Unsung!

  • Was madly in love during the time this Cherrelle song and her entire "Affair" album was hot. It intensified everything. Wonderful memories!

  • Legendary female soul singer and one of my favourite artists

  • This is how R&B song should sound like. I hope songs like these should be played on fm radios

  • CLASSIC!!!!!

  • LOL! Reading the beefs between my fellow YouTuber's with this smooth jam playing in the background is funny.

    For what it's worth - I love Cherelle, love the 80's R&B scene & think we should all just chill and enjoy this stuff while it lasts. It's here today, but could be gone tomorrow.

    Have a great day folks!

  • OH YES...I REMEMBER THIS WELL!!!

  • this is a good song

    

  • Hearing this again today makes me wanna Petition BET to air Midnight Soul again. I used to fall asleep listening to Midnight Soul. ***Le Sigh....Au Revoir good ol days!

  • @DivaBabyTX512 I agree and I can't believe this video received 11 dislikes and wonder what kind of music those morons listen to. I am an 80's baby and missed this kind of music.

  • @DivaBabyTX512 i will sign that petition!

  • @DivaBabyTX512 somebody needs to petition to make bet air midnight soul again. the crap they have on bet @ night is just ridiculous & ppl wonder why i go to sleep early smh.

  • @DivaBabyTX512 BET has only hurt themselves by doing away with what got them to the dance in the first place.=)

  • @DivaBabyTX512

    Yes girl! I loved me some Midnight Love. I mean, absolutely loved it! lol I truly miss the quality shows BET used to have. I think they need to air programs that cater to the 30 and above audience cause the pop stuff is ok.... but I prefer to listen to real, good, quality music like this song. Those were the days. *sigh* lol

  • @DivaBabyTX512 yes!!!midnight love was the s*it Bring Donnie back,but MOST OF ALL bring back the good times

  • @DivaBabyTX512 Kinda makes you long for the days of Quiet Storm...music gone from the charts but not from our hearts...

  • THIS WOMAN WAS & IS SO TALENTED.FINE WAS NOT EVEN A WORD 2 DISCRIBE &HER.SEXY,CLASSY,FULL OF FIRE,BOLD.THIS WOMAN (ESPECIALLY THEN),WAS THE TOTAL PACKAGE.I MISS HER VOICE & MUSIC,I HOPE SHE'S WELL

  • When I cross and move my legs like @1:57 - @2:00 I think of this Cherrelle song (and video) :-)

  • has anybody noticed the simularities between this video and Antia Baker's "Just Because"?

  • Tabu sound FOREVER!!!!

  • wow 10% don't like this song let me guess they like this new bull shit thats out now.

    that's talking loud ait singing about shit.

  • Jam & Lewis always deliver

  • Video SOUL AND THE OTHER REAL SHOWS WILL COME BACK SOON

  • I miss Video Soul. This was my song back in the day

  • 10 fucktards have no clue about good music

  • @DivaBabyTX512 You people who worry and comment about the dislikes are more ANNOYING than the # of dislikes. When Youtube used 5 stars to rate, where were you then? I could care less about the rating b/c I'm enjoying this video, regardless of how others feel or think.

  • @neepl8 all these people that commented on the damn dislikes and you choose me. Let me tell you something....IT WAS A FUCKING JOKE! Pull the stick out your ass and enjoy the music. "YOU PEOPLE"?? Really?? GTFOH How you gon try to check me behind a damn comment in support of Good Music. You can go straight to hell....YOU PEOPLE are annoying who have to comment on a comment that wasn't meant for your ass.

  • @DivaBabyTX512 My point is: commenting (or joking) about dislikes is redundant and pointless. If you're going to comment, make it clear, pertinent and direct, but more importantly, useful for all viewers to read.

    Btw, thanks for your choice of bad words. But then again, I guess I should only expect rebuts, using such language, from the likes of your kind.

  • @neepl8 who the hell are you, THE COMMENT POLICE? Child please! Last time I checked my father and mother weren't on Youtube. And even if they were, my 2 children, mortgage, two college degrees and employment qualify me as an adult with her own mind to speak however she may choose. I curse because I can. And like I said previously, I can comment HOWEVER, WHENEVER, WHEREVER, TO WHOMEVER I choose. Now you can go sit your ass down somewhere...Fuck U Very Much :) Have a nice evening

  • she is so damn sexy and beautiful...

  • @Specrotors Dawg and she still is. Body is as fine as ever and she's still beautiful.

  • @urblegend79 I agree its like she hasn't aged...sweet too bad lol

  • attractive lady,sexy voice great song love her to bits

  • WHO IN THE SAM HELL COULD DOWN THUMB THIS SONG!

  • This is one of my favourate songs of the era 'the 80's'. It is soulful and good to the ears of those who understand real music.

  • old skool is the best

  • Total Relaxation. Even when I didn't have a clue what love was all about !

  • real music stopped after 1990

  • damn good song here, throwback award.......Cherelle where you at?

  • Love That Girl! Love That Song!

  • fucked her shiny black ass!!!

  • @129jamie864 Ewh!

  • This old school Jam brings back memories...

  • damn cherrelle fine

  • my god shes gorgeous

  • Only Whitney Houston (Saving all my love for you) and Cherrelle (Everything I miss at home) can make a song about having an affair/cheating sound like a romantic love song. Now Shirley Murdock's As We Lay was clear on what she was singing about.

  • tee/ i love this song------good old days

  • DIS SONG IS DA SHIT

  • i love this song

  • mmm mmm mmm

  • dam Cherelle looks sooo sexy in this video!!!! I love the piano melody in this song too!

  • OMG! This is my song! *screaming* Love it!

  • 1988 was such a great year. This is one of my favorite late 80s love songs.

  • Alex broke it down even for such a small part LOL!! you know the musics real when that happens. Damn they don't do it like this anymore! I wish black radio would wake the hell up. If I only had the money for a radio channel.

  • YEEEES!!!!!! VH1 SOUL IS WHERE ALL THE MUSIC IS NOW!!!!

  • @PAHZAZZ so true, VH1 Soul is real soul fans saving grace.

  • YEEEES!!!!!!

  • This song is make-love music at its finest, but...why does she look like Superhead at the 0:47 mark?

  • Why does the chick at the 0:47 mark look like Superhead?

  • i seen alexander o'neal on the cooking channel that brotha was burnin fa real lol

  • This was a nice ballad by Cherelle back in 1988. It came out in the spring of 1988.

  • Cherrelle and Pebbles used to crazy mad cocaine...she was in Rehab for her drug addiction.....but she still was a beautiful singer..

  • cherelle is fine

  • @tinaray66 amen to that..LOL and she still is... look at the footage of her at the Ebony Festival in Atlanta..

  • basicallyBET stands for....

    Black

    Embarrassment

    Television

  • Black

    Embarrasement

    Television

    ...nuff said

  • pebbles and cherelle are first cousins

  • @plymouth95 pebbles & cherrelle are first cousins

  • I'm feeling all your comments as were did it all go, when music being in love, and having a song that made you feel its emotions was it....

  • Remember when it was cool to love?

  • @jhofkins You do know that this song, as well as the whole album was about cheating, right? After all, the album was called "Affair" for a reason.

  • trur BET SOLD OUT

  • all i can think of is back in the days when it was good ol times.

  • @plymouth95 Like the gangster Bumpy Jonas said in Shaft. Money "always" matters. When you get to that level that Bob Johnson is at, black and whites does not matter but "green".

  • I LOVE this song!

  • @glamorousdollface cherelle & pebbles are first cousins

  • GOD Cherrelle was an still is a little HOTTIE!

  • i was 7 and me and my sister would listen and dance to music like this ...good times! :)

  • I was a junior in high school when this song came out. I haven't heard it in a long time. I still love it! Brings back happy memories of a fun time in my life. Thank you for posting this.

    Dawn

  • I'm 40. 88 was my sr. yr in h.s. teenage love

  • Cherelle is a great drummer too. She played drums for Lenny Williams and Michael Henderson before she became famous.

  • @ethurst2 wow don't you miss R and B artists playing thier own instruments and making thier own sound nowadays?

  • @ladynikkie It was the music industry which undermined true soul and R&B. The Telecommunications Act destroyed "true" community radio. When major labels started closing R&B/Soul departments and brought in other forms of music, it left a lot of people in the cold. I miss the bands but in todays world of greed, its easier to Pro Tool a performance and put autotune on a singers voice.

  • @ethurst2 . Yes you're absolutly right. It is a shame that the real R&B/Soul music fading fast. I'm an emerging R&B artist and although I'm not yet known or discovered. I'm determined to bring back 80's R&B music

  • @MrZelunjo36 PLEASE do. We so need NEW old school R&B

  • @MrZelunjo36 Bring that true R&B back with the quickness

  • Hit #1 soul, but missed the Billboard Hot 100 completely. Jimmy and Terry decided to give Alexander O'Neal a vocal cameo in it. God bless!

  • LORD. That strap on the bottom is the dude's bomber jacket is awfully suggestive.

  • CHERELLE, WANDA SYKES AND CIARA COULD ALL BE RELATED.

  • @try2thyself LOL!!! I most definitely thought that too!!! More with Cherelle and Ciara but I can see Wanda being in the family too now that you mentioned it.

  • A voice like an angel. This is music. Not that bullshit the young and useless listen to today.

  • i was in a sign language class in college and did this song as my final...

  • This is the music !!!!Not that crap the kids listen to today!!!!!!!!

  • Still rock this joint...It reminds me of an affair I had. Damn that was sweet. I still love my wife but she couldnt hold a candle to the other woman.

  • How I loved this song back then, Cherrelle & Alex singing together still make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I bought Affair bacause of this track. Love it!

  • Back in school this was I and my future wife's song. Watching this video brings back those special times.

  • Damn! I I didn't know that this was her song!

  • woot man what happen to all the good R&B singers , damn come back :o(

  • OMG I love this video. Cherrelle was sexy as all get out, even though she had a funny looking nose. :-)

  • I love this song...

  • Videos during this time was real sensual with the montage of black and white softness....now videos have lost that creative spark ...
