[keanwalloffame]

@Coolyfrett, Bobby Brown is with New Editon in this vid, he's on the far right. @eman6928, great vid right!

[blessedk77]

@keanwalloffame

There are only four members of New Edition in this video. Bobby was not one of them. I would've loved if he was in the video.

Love this video and song. Thank you, Dr. King. We love you.

Kurtis Blow threw his fist up real quick, like he was rapping hard! *I love this song*

[aninhabigboys]

Um dos clipes mais importantes da minha vida...por sua homenagem ao grande Martin Luther King, e pela participação de grandes artistas q eu adoro...me emociono toda vez q assisto.

[aguinaja]

@aninhabigboys

Valew... é isso aí.... só de ver Whitney houston, Stacy Lattisaw, Stephanie Mills e o James JT taylor do Kool n Gang é show de bola!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nota dez!!!!!!!!!!!

vc tem muito bom gosto!!!!

[Bigike121]

The 6 "DISLIKES" are members of the racist Tea Party!

[RushingRussia]

Oh, Whitney! If only I could rewind time. One of the greatest voices ever.

[iknowu217]

we are the world original is better but ur right the remake messed it up

[mynaijagal]

thanks for posting this video, it takes me waaaayyyyy back ;)

[MrDri1971]

tenho 38 anos e até hoje quando escuto essa musica é instantaneo,as lagrimas....sempre frequentei festa black,como clube da cidade ,clube hause,sunset.....então não tem como não lembrar desse tempo ,rolava muito nas festas....arrazou♥

[LML8774]

I remember the year before MLK's birthday was a holiday, my parents kept us home with them from school out of protest and respect for MLK's fight and sacrifice. When his birthday became a national holiday it was truly a triumph for all that lost their lives for the civil rights of African-Americans.

[kbkrushgroove]

Hey everybody - I was a co-producer on this song. My greatest production to date. The thing you guys don't know is Prince paid for the video shoot. Many Thanks to God and Prince and everyone who donated their talents for the Prince of Peace.

Kurtis Blow Walker

[TomHagan812]

@kbkrushgroove

One of the best collaborations to date. I seriously doubt if the artist of today have the ability to coexist for the greater good of songs that have a greater purpose.

[jhhayes1971]

@kbkrushgroove No Thank you!



[dreamsmade]

@kbkrushgroove Mr. Kurtis Blow Walker, Is this song available for purchase? If so where can I purchase it? I am assuming you are the hip hop great Kurtis Blow. If so do you know where I can the song "Krush Groove" The song that was featured in the movie of the same name. That was a great song that featured many of you greats from that time period.

[vanityfair001]

Wow I have mixed emotions about this video. While it gives me chills to see so many young, up and coming minority artists who became successful, I also find it very sad that 98% of them are no longer in the limelight and even more so many no longer have a career because of drugs.

[djlemonsqueeze]

Seein Full Force in this video takes me back to the House Party movies. "We're gonna kick ur F****** AAAAAAAAAAASSS!!!!!" LOL

[hasting29]

I love when Whitney sings" Shine " She gives life to the song.

[adrianopagani97]

nossa incrivel!!!

Whodini,Menudo,Whitney,FatBoy,­Run Dmc,Tina Marrie etc,,,,,,

[loveronez]

Man I hate that my parents moved from Montgomery to the north, I know they did what they had to do, but when I visit every summer man am I over whelmed by the history that I should've grew up on 1st hand...Anyway this will always be 1 of my fave cuts

[chineechino]

6 people like whitney houston as a crack addict <3

[ASLBQUEEN]

They used to play this every MLK Day before the announcements in elementary school, and Happy Birthday by Stevie Wonder. A true classic!!!! They should go back to playing it on the radio also.

[serialthriller100]

@ 2:17 stephanie mills is too tickled by Menudo. That's so funny. lol

[80sKatt]

6 people obviously dont recognize greatness

[mrman3810]

6 motherfuckers dislike this video they must be working for kkk or they are uncle toms selling out for the white man jeez

[ivandemorais]

Amigo, incrível este clipe, essa música foi uma das mais difíceis na época pra eu conseguir colocar na minha velha e boa fita cassete hehehe, incrível também como não existem comentários em portugues sobre essa musica, acho que poucos conhecem.

Vlw

[BastardG7414]

WITHOUT DR. KING WHERE WOULD WE BE....THANKS DR. KING

[kennysma1]

OMG SUCH MEMORIES!! Its feels good to see us getting together for a great man in PEACE! He was not a perfect man, but then none of us are...

What he wanted for the world was perfect however!

RIP MLK and thanks for making things so much better for myself, my child, and all future generations of children!

[hokukoroku]

i can't begin to tell you all the memories and thoughts that run through my mind when i watch this video. i remember watching it on TV when i was little. now it's my tradition as an adult to watch it every year at this time. looking at all the artists here and thinking about where many of them are now...sigh...SO much has changed since then.

[mrman3810]

Respect to Dr King...GREAT SONG AND POWERFUL MESSAGE!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR KING LOVE YOU MY DUDE!!

[LizMadisonful]

I just love this song and video! The message expresses Dr. Kings dream. This video takes me back to when Dr. Martin Luther King's day became a holiday which had been long overdue. It also takes me back, vividly, to the time and place I was when I first saw the video.

[CLOUDEDMINDZFILM]

This song just warms my heart every time & every year!!

[agencysmile]

oh jeez run dmc is here.....and more...XD

[bklyndice]

[CosmicBass3000]

[CosmicBass3000]

El De Barge FTW! :-)

[djw80158]

[ROBII88]

RIP Dr. King, Teena Marie and Buffy from the Fat Boys.

[Justice38ify]

[lovegurl2284]

Definitely a gem on MLK Day!! I just hope no one remakes this and mess it up like they did with We Are The World!

[serialthriller100]

@lovegurl2284 CO-SIGN....CAN YOU PICTURE RIHANNA, BEYOUNCE, CHRIS BROWN, TREY SONGS AND JUSTIN BEIBER (LOL...GOTTA HAVE A WHITE GUY) AND NICKI MINAJ BUTCHERING THIS CLASSIC...GAWD NO...PLEASE NO.

[LadyCinnamonGlamBabe]

[RUDOLPHLYRICS]

@lovegurl2284 please no. i'm shocked this song isn't as big as it should be. where else will u have ricky martin, run dmc, and witney houston on the same song?

[pannoni1]

An MLK Day tradition for me. Sure, the video totally reflects the style of the 1980s, but it proves why we celebrate his birthday.

[lovemilion]

<3 <3 <3 <3

[mybizness1]

[Justice38ify]

R.I.P. Jam Master Jay n Teena Marie. Love Run DMC, New Edition, Whitney Houston, Kurtis Blow, Fat Boys, Grand Master Flash, El Debarge, Menudo, Stacy Latisaw, Stephanie Mills, Kool n Gang (JT). I think named majority of them. Remember when it first came on BET.

[noondogg]

@Justice38ify: you 4got about ready for the world

[kwkable11]

"Sing, celebrate, sing, sing, celebrate! What are you waiting for?"  R.I.P. Teena Marie, who also appeared in this song.

[rokhamdagamer81]

[musiclover77able1]

[bella69luna]

[starrchild851]

Teena Maria,El Debagre,Whitney Houston,Stephanie Mills,Menudo,New Edition,The Fat Boys, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam/w Full Force...and the list goes on. This video now makes me a little sad because so many in this video are no longer with us. Great memories for a very special DAY.

[clauresaniles]

Can't help but get misty eyed on this one, so many musical legends on one song paying their respect to a Great man!

[sement1983]

sing celebrate, sing sing celebrate

[RavenlucJanie]

Wow, watching this video like 25 years later really makes me appreciate every artist. Only those who really wanted to be a part of this tribute participated...blacks, whites and hispanic. The idea of a MLK holiday was a divisive issue in public opinion. However, the naysayers did not persuade any of these artists. Kudos to them all...

[pooba6900]

Friggin made me cry.

[swordsman6]

Makes me want to go dig out some old Kool and the Gang. Whitney just goes to church in this song too...wow.

[Jabbaro123]

One of the most legendary songs in the world.

[MrJamie1932]

@Jabbaro123 ..... you are absolutely right!!

[Jabbaro123]

@MrJamie1932 It makes me want to cry.

[bunzy11]

whitney houston looks like a human candy cane in that sweater :P

[bunzy11]

kudos for lady t :)

[MrMonroe222]

Classic !!!

[TheTruth27536]

I had this on tape a LONG time ago. I recorded it from the local AM station (WIZS) when they used to play rap music at night time. It popped i my head an sure enough I found it. How cool is that! :)

[debs98]

@TheTruth27536 real cool word only song about mlk

a classic

[bella69luna]

@TheTruth27536 I still have the 12"

[ThickstThang]

That took Me back!

[sharonruth7]

I attended Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School in the early 90's. We sang this song in music class then. :) I haven't heard it since then.

[afroblack1000]

This was way better than, " We are the world", I wonder it wasn't as that big. Regardless I love this track

[kellycup1]

song rocks my reletiive rapd it

[serialthriller100]

I love this so much.

[sjice69]

Nice, that just brought back some memories of my younger days.

[sjice69]

Nice, that just brought back some memories of my younger days.

[uplatealso]

Ricky Martin looked gay (look close, you'll find him) even in 1986....

[bella69luna]

@uplatealso He's the one on the end? I was trying to figure that one out. Charlie, Roy are the only two that I recall their names.

[prttygrl19]

I always thought this was hotter than "We Are the World"

[1redbandit1]

i luv this song it reminds me of we are the world by MJ because it has a lot of singers in it this is amazing

[homette1163]

Love the video and the song - wish I could get a CD copy of it. Was this video/song before or after We Are The World?

[HaliB75]

This song was in 1986 after We are the World which was in 1985.

[homette1163]

Thanks for that info!

[wilwat9]

I love this tribute song!!! Thank you MLK for your actions!!!

[LatinDolphin]

Wow--the memories--this was a jam back in the 80s. I love the 80s. I was only like 8 or 9 when this came out!!

[PrettyBlack1966]

I was a personal friend of Mrs. Coretta Scott King and met her some 27 yrs. ago when I attended the Chicago H.S. named after Dr. M.L.King Jr.- I was so very proud of our efforts eventually being witnessed as a day celebrating Dr. Kings' Life and will always remember his lovely and generous and dedicated wife. Class of '81.

[Bolo718]

I remember watching this song as a kid on saturday night videos. damn, life was so free. hip hop was a fresh movement. Glad to say I was there to push it along..

[jmSadated]

very good post man this song made me feel warm.

[MsNotforsale]

That beatboxing sound so good and brings back so many memories. Good memories!!!

[8goosie]

That was so inspiring. Somebody needs to make one for him again.

[123boogaloo]

Thanks SO much for posting this video. First time seeing it....WoW What talent!!1 The Fat Boys really added to the classic hip hop sound...

[DSWATSON]

[bella69luna]

@mephatboi Lisa Lisa And the Cult Jam.

[chelsea9548]

im happy they include the white kid...no offense but who are they?

[macarter37]

They are an all boys hispanic group that was called "Menudo" at the time. This was back in the 80's. It was a certain age they had to be, then when they were too old, that person had to make room for another singer. All of them were very hansome. Not quite sure what happened to them after this video. Some of there songs were pretty good.

[dgelotte]

Yes there menudo, and if you look cloe you can see ricky martin who was in the group at that time.

[StopDomViolence]

Wow, I really miss this song. It's been so long since I heard it. I forgot so many of these great artists were in this, and Whitney looks so pretty! Thanks for posting. MLK forever! :)

[willx24]

i haven't seen this vid in yrs, good post, thanks MLK for your heroic work.

[lorcaliph514]

i told a child hood friend that Dr king was born Michael King Jr. and she got mad at me. Can you believe it?

[lorcaliph514]

Wow What happened to Whitney she was so powerful in this song. Great sound. Dexter produced this song he did a great job!!!!!!

[LLJ46]

He taught us to love each other.

Keep the dream alive.

Remember this day and everyday.

CELEBRATE THE DREAM........

BE BLESSED...................

[godivaley]
