I know they are beautiful but I can't help but notice that most of the women in the background are all "mixed chix" (white black mixed race) I'm sure it was the record label's doing trying to make the group marketable and pretty as far as image but I can't help but spot the obvious here. That said my memories of soul to soul are deep and will last a lifetime, I love S2S and what they said about black life and black music within the context of the 1990's.
I was a soldier at Ft. Hood, Tx. when this song came out,and I fell in love with this girl, and this song. I thought she could do anything she could damn sure bring this white kid back to life. Just so cool, and beautiful, man I miss this kind of music.
@3loomi1 ???????.......you can thank the industry for ruining the industry. They wanted a quick fix for the 90's failiures (Disney wannabe's) and switched from artists to glam (BSpears, etc.,).......it's happening now with country music. No more soul!
Only artists themselves (true to their roots) will overcome the industry. A prime example would be the current heavy metal genre. It is thriving because the artists are soulfull. True talent prevails!
@speedforhire Well put...hopefully the industry collapses in on itself with all of its garbage like our economy did...unfortunately it will only happen if the artists persevere in making true music, but also the consumers must let their voices be heard, too. Quit buying these garbage "artists" (and I use that word VERY loosely) and support those that are true musicians.
Man this brings back great memories of hitting the dance floor and the whole floor pumping. Ah the good ole days. Sorry folks but New Jack Swing is the BEST there was in dance music. Period.
"Back to life, back to reality.....", is a good song hook. It's a reality check, as it's time sometimes to examine one's life, and make important life changes. Get with the program, just do it, and start fresh. It also seems to be about relationship reconsciliation, or moving on, whatever works better.
djloserfredmiami get a life! U r a retard and u must come from retards because i have never heard such bs in my life! I wish they made muzzles for ppl. U need to really experience the world and keep ur ignorant rants 2 urself! F the KKK!
I remember when the remixes were played on Friday and Saturday nights on the radio back in the late 80's. That's when the non-stop music mixes were born.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
The thin gal in black vest with white stars on it......I swear she looks like one of the backup singers in several recent David Gilmour videos. I think if you look up HIGH HOPES CHORUS MELTDOWN CONCERT.........That should take you to one of them.
@QillerFox Baby, I know what you mean. I went to an Old School Party a couple of weeks ago, and they played The Acapella Version and people went crazy.
que tiempos tan inolvidavles!!! esta musica me transporta al momento de mis recuerdos! me ase sentir la esencia del momento!!! si muero pronto quisiera resucitar en los ochenta!!
This has nothing to do with "black" music being good or bad. This has to do with some fantastic music artists getting together and creating a song that stay should alive for decades. By the way, I was lucky to be one of the drivers for the violinists and stayed for the entire shoot. { I was also very pleased to take that young lady to her hotel where she was staying. }She is the one in red top,black pants.
Yep...I use to be a subsciber to ULTIMIX, along with just about every other remix services available at the time. I couldn't have explained better than you did. Their remixes were a nice change from the sometime boring studio remixes of the songs. ULTIMIX was at the top of my "food chain".
love the beautiful lady singing and the black guy with the piano across his chest is just awesome,his movements are so soulful spirited,poetry in motion,no one movers like blacks,his unique movement will forever be in my memory.just simply awesome.
Wow, 1990?! Geez, im old as hell...! I never noticed how gorgeous the singer is- she's beautiful! (Prob.didnt notice her cos i was 11 whn this song came out, and way into glam metal at the time, LOL!!!!!)
@ibnyours2 is she the singer? OMG, i totally have a crush on her now, too...! Funny, i never noticed her back in 1990..then again, i was 11 at the time.. But yeh, she is SMOKIN' HOT!
omg! how do you dislike this song at all?! however is disliking this song doesn't know shit about music...
i have been jamming this song since i was 11, I'm 32 now and this song will never get old! I'll be 90 years old in the nursing home trying to dance with my walker..hheehe
Thank you for posting this.This was the song back in 1990!I remember dancing to this at The Sound Factory on saturday nights....Do you have the version with the acapella intro?That was my favorite.
This is the ULTIMIX version. For those who does not know what is ultimix, its a professional DJ remix service, that sells remixed versions of all mainstream songs to help the dj mix the song into other songs because of its extended breaks and intro beats, as well as making a soft or slow song be played in the dance floor with more dancing and groovy beats.
I like this one and the shorter version. It's the exact same damn song but longer...lmao. What the hell are people complaining about? It's their remix, not one you made up, right? smdh
I know they are beautiful but I can't help but notice that most of the women in the background are all "mixed chix" (white black mixed race) I'm sure it was the record label's doing trying to make the group marketable and pretty as far as image but I can't help but spot the obvious here.
