  • OOH, this was one of my jams as well. And I see some people don't want their names called for them NOT to like this!

  • Like Phyllis Hyman, Alyson could "sang" AND wear the hell out of a hat/crown.

  • Didnt Philip Ingram and Kenny Curry write this song???

  • This was such a beautiful song.

  • I miss REAL R&B music!!!

  • One of my favorites! Real singing; genuine and simple.

  • Look at the expression on her and the level of sincerity....that is just about gone in today's singers. When a person sings a song like this it makes you feel it deep inside.....this quality is missing from today's music.

  • Great album should have sold better under rated artist

  • An all time classic!!!!!!!

  • To Vertalac:

    You don't know what your talking about!!!!! Who the hell is Chick Stanley? This male vocalist is African American and Alyson Williams was featured on his song. If any one out there knows the artist or the song, please respond.

  • i was in love with this song in middle school.

  • this song touches my heart cause there are so many people in this world that dont have people to call on and i loveeeeee this cause she sanging bout some real shit

  • i was crushing on her just from her voice...didn't know what she looked like but I was in love like a muh fcka...lol

  • abeautiful tunes and beautiful voice, this song is pure class and still holds to this day.. Its a diferant time now and im not 2sure if the kids wud be in2 this kind of sound now days but there again i cudnt get my head round the horrible electric drum sounds of the 80's. We all must agree that the reverbed out beats were at some times iffy bar the 808/909 but we got over it and now these sounds are classic!!

  • this is my shit iam from the old skool this my shit yall

  • Is this song is about Jesus or the dope man you choose.

  • TRUE SINGER

  • see this is why i dont like music of today!!.....these non singing asses of today!! give me old skool music any time

  • @montedre2k I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT

  • Lucifer, Abel, Noah, Aesop,Noahstradamus, And introducing Me Eric.

  • This is when music was music but I can't belive this is how the women with money really used to give it up that just goes to show how time changes

  • @imarembert1- i just had to call it like i see it, i will be 37 in dec & my now 15yr old daughter understand what real music is, she do love ciara but at 6 1/2 she was hitting shirley murdocks notes, husband & go on without you, so now she is like momma ur old music is gr8, if i am listening to n e thing old school, she come in my room n out sang me, but i aint trippin, minnie riperton, patti labelle, gladys knight diva's- my young diva lil minnie to me is shanice wilson.

  • hell yeah you will never ever hear a joint like thisagain theses are oneof the greats

  • the yong lady put her heart in it, love that song!!!!!!!!!!

  • Tight! : )

  • That's what I am talking about. A nice simple video with a great artist.

  • Dedicated to my husband 21years ago when he was my boyfriend the first time...Wow time flew by...

  • PPL dont sing songs like this because they dont know what real love is if u ask me... its all about sex, money, cars, & houses

  • That's a classic "Last Dance" song. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

  • I love this song!!!! An ex and I had this as our song. She seemed to have disappeared because I don't hear much about her anymore.

  • Allie your voice is like silk and your style is unmatched.  Love your music...

  • Straight 2 da soul

  • Anybody else cry when hearing this song?

  • @86pimp3

    yes I'm teary eyed now and every time I hear this song, but something else happened today when I heard it on the radio and then looked it up on youtube cause sometimes I need to call on my friend JESUS I know He is the only true friend I have and I think God was speaking through Allison through this song it has moved my spirit in a different way today I'm so glad that I know I have His Love nobody loves me like He does.

  • This song is amazing!

  • my my my what a voice and the lyrics.......everyone can relate......to all my babies

    and families love u then now 4 ever..........................­rest in peace save room for me

    thank u for touching my life

  • Too many female R&B singers during this era tended to live in the shadow of Whitney Houston or even Anita Baker and Sade. I enjoy collecting vinyl singles, and I feel like lots of this stuff has stood the test of time; it sounds even better today in comparison to the dull sounds of recent years; it really can briefly escape from the problems of the present; pure nostalgia.

  • Wow what happened to artist like this. I love some of the new ones like Jill Scott, Ledisi and that genre. But shit like this you don't hear anymore

  • @143lesbian Those names of female artists that you just mentioned are the very few who kinda still hold on to that ol skool formula and now Jasmine sullivan whos is bringing back that early to mid 90,s early Mary

    J Blige flavor,its a shame that some of these type of artists get swept under the radar in favor of no talent auto tone singers like Rihanna and Cassie.

  • This is a very beautiful song.....a nice groove.

  • I remember this---good music! Back when you actually had to have talent :]

  • OMG this song touches me EVERYTIME i hear it. By the way are those her true eyes or are they contacts? does anyone know? if so they are beautiful.

  • she sang the hell out of this song!!! I love this song,there is NO experence like being in love with someone and she is testifying in this song. POWEFUL SONG AND LYRICS!!!

  • I still have this on cas. sing. I love this song!!

  • @famufan94 ME TOO

  • Wow, What a classic relationship song...takes me back to 1990 (my Jr. year in h.s.). Those were the days- Can anyone tell me what happened to "OUR MUSIC"?!?!?

  • @MsJoelski IT HAS BECOME TRASH

  • This song is a Classic..Alyson Williams is a very under-rated singer and performer.

  • aaaaahhhhhhhh sssshhhhhiiittttt!!!!

    this tha jam!

    ssshhhiiittt!!!

  • @citylife313 my thoughts exactly!

  • I remember seeing Allyson Williams in Concert and she was AMAZING!!! When she gets into the song and gets carried away, she takes off her shoes and throws them!! Just like Patti Labelle does! Amazing in concert!! Those were the GREAT days.

  • been searching for this song 4 a longtime thank you sooooooooo much 4 posting

  • @picwic27 I've been looking for this song too! 80s and 90s soul was the best! Alyson williams was underrated.

  • Yes! Reminds me of the time when R&B music still existed. Grown folks know what I'm talking about. Peace to WBLS and KISS fm (NY)...

  • This R&B gem from Alyson is just gorgeous.

  • i love dis song where did music go like dis

  • CHERRILICOUS R&B is long gone.Music now is all about corporation greed and sex.Music now is also tied in with the Illuminati which is one reason why I don't listen to it.

  • Timeless classic good post soulsound : )

  • i love this song i no what you mean girl.

  • Her style (look, music, etc.) reminds me soooo much of Phyllis Hyman, it's almost surreal. Damn! She's Good it's just that simple. Sing It Girl!

  • @chasy013009 RIP PHYLLIS HYMAN

  • I agree

  • I love this song. I loved it as a kid.

  • that makes 4 of us! Although I was a little kid, this was one of my many favorite songs of the late 80's that I absolutely love. Didn't somebody turn this into a gospel song at one time or another? Somebody please respond back to this with who it was. Thanks!

  • that makes 3 of us.. i almost forgot about this song

  • mrsg50001....we had the same idea. her version on monique was ok, but i had 2 hear the original.

  • yes omg this song brought back alot of good times after watching Mrs. A. Williams appear on the MoNique show I had 2 come listen to it again. Mrs. Williams thank u

  • thanks 4 putting this video back on yoiutube

  • ooh she can sing! dont make em like this anymore...well we do have jennifer hudson now! she's fab! :-)

  • MAN!! i love this song i dont kno what it is about it but ive loved this song so dearly even as a young girl ;) its beautiful

  • the way she move kinnda remind me of anita baker!

  • swiftjustice04 you are sooo right. she have been slept on so much. ashame the artists that have true vocals never really get the break they deserve. to many one or two hit wonders are allowed to play the field way to long.

  • She was slept on she is such a good singer!

  • I love this song , reminds me when I was a child getting ready for school, this is one song I would listen to over and over again !!!!!!

  • "Just Call My Name And I'll Come Runnin' "................. I was a young man at the time, when I first heard this song. Ms Williams' interpretation of the lyrics of this song.........and I was hooked. And years later, she STILL got me. Good music, Catch IT...................

  • A pleasant memory I have is sitting and eating at Dooky Chase's in New Orleans and listening to this BEAUTIFUL song on the jukebox. CLOSE YOUR EYES AND IMAGINE IT. Soul and Soul Food for the palate and ears.

  • Me Toooo!!!!! lol so funny, I was just thinking about the box channel 10 in New Orleans, I got in sooo much trouble behind Anquette "I will always be there for you" $2.50 a whop!

  • i had no clue alyson was basically the voice of def jam as far as background vocals go! "basketball" i heard for years and never knew aliyson was the lady singin in da background! monique show is great..she highlights folk who never really get spotlighted! and i agree with the gospel refrence..when she was singin on monique show it felt like a gospel tune...very inspirational! i loved her in the 90's! she's legendary!

  • I saw her on Monique last week. But the crazy thing is I was intending to search for this video a month ago. I love this song. I have the Raw album on cassette. I wore it out as a kid. I wish her the best. She is a very great, unsung Artist. She needs more praises for her craft. Just love her!

  • if you don't have anything to say positive don't say anything. alyson can sing & she looks good.

  • I forgot how much I missed this kinda jam. welcome back Alyson I used to see alot of you in Orange back in the day. You are a loevly lady. Stay blessed

  • This can be a gospel song......Just call my name. Just think about JESUS. As if he is asking you to call HIS name. AMEN

  • @LoveChristrecords

    You know God is speaking through this song, what true friend can we really call on and He'll be right there always always always telling us point blank I searched all over and ain't nobody like you no where and the video is not about couples its about people helping other people like JESUS does I'm so glad that He chose Allison to be the one to write and sing this song with her heavenly voice.

  • @imarembert1 your interpretation of this song is right on the mark and i never viewed the song in such sense.Everytime i hear this song it kinda tears me up because in this day and age its all about every man and woman to themselves.We gotta bring it back to Jesus because true love comes from him.Just wish songs nowadays was this inspirational.

  • Today vocal ability is masked with sex appeal and dancing.

  • Monique is putting people back on the map. Thanks Monique, and I know you never left Ms Williams but it is good to see and hear you sing again.

  • Yesssssssssss I was so happy to see Alyson on her show I just wish Phyllis Hyman was still alive cause you know she would have been on there too!

  • She was wonderful but those hats looke3d like a CHEAP copy of Phyllis Hyman's beautiful ones!

  • i came over here to c if MONIQUE was gettn through and im very happy to c that she is! I knew i knew Ms Williams face but couldn't remember from what song but i remember this video.... Good job... once again u tube prevails.

  • @3:12 her Nancy Wilson comes out.

    Just loves it.

  • I just saw her on the Monique Show, too and she performed "Just Call My Name". Welcome back Ms. Alyson - You are truly a DIVA!

  • I Love this song it makes me think about my sweetie ( T.R. Oh does it bring back memories. Thank you for posting it UTUBE.
