  • LA Ried and Babkyface produced this but she was married to Terry Lewis at the time.......................thi­s was awesome.

  • I was born in the 90s and have grown up in both the 90s and 2000's andI must say that I love 80s music much more, there is always a song that hits the way I feel. I thank my mother she only allowed music from 80s and 70s and down the line because the music of my time just told girls sex money and drugs is the way to live life.

  • @TheTasheaj PREACH!

  • Now this is REAL HIP HOP, R & B, SOUL MUSIC! Makes me wanna get dressed and go out dancin'..... Wait... scratch that... I doubt the DJ would even have this in his mix!~

  • I love this song Karyn was my girl back in da day. Great voice

  • filmed party in Venice beach...

  • Such a shame she married the dirtball !

  • "DITTO" musiclvr7289 except Another Old Skool favorite ... Go Karyn & GO Jody W!

  • another old skool favorite... go karyn, la & face!

  • This is really great music. What is happening to the music industry today? Love this song.

  • @1982LadyLibra

    Maybe you should ask that question to Beyonce, Rihanna, Lady GaGa and the rest of those no singing circus clowns.

  • @MIMI88998899 You are exactly right! Can't argue with you there. this is great music.

  • a classic that will NEVER die! LONG LIVE THE 80'S!!

  • GOOD MUSIC, GO KARYN..!!!!

  • I love her and her music

  • Karyn hit #7 in Billboard, 2-4-89. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

  • babyface, la reid and darryl simmons! genius!!! and karyn white is very underated, i think mya should remake this song!

  • OMG! I love Karyn White and this song was and still sounds great. This is real music. You can understand what the singer is talking about. Unlike half the

    crap you hear today.

  • she looks like jada pickett smith at the end of this video

  • Its the cuteness,I had a crush on her back in the days.I wonder what she's up to now.

  • @tball464 - She married Terry Lewis [Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis] had a kid with him, divorced him, then she married producer Bobby G. She has a very successful real estate & interior decorating business in Cali. Still looks good too!!!

  • i didn't know she sang backup for alexander o'neal until i watched the video criticize, that i looked up after watching unsung on tvone. she was talented, beautiful, and the first brownskin woman to make a nice video- before everybody on bet was yellow.

  • Please God give me the power to go back in time so I can impregnate her. Please!!!

  • @dumaka I just practice, its cheaper.

  • ppl don't listen to this type music anymore b/c they are either stupid or they don't know what real music is like.

  • Love this song then.........and still love it now=^_^=

  • whats bad is 14 million + have listened to Katy perry but this beautiful talented woman struugles to get the masses to listen to how hot and sexy she was !

  • I still listen to this song on an almost daily basis. I don't care what anyone says; this song will never sound bad.

  • classic jam and a beautiful woman

  • i love her its been so long where has she been

  • love her!!!!!

  • I love Karyn White!!!!

  • LA AND BABYFACE KILL IT AGAIN!

  • Wow; I knew Karyn could Saaang but I didnt know she could dance like that; she kILLLLLin Beyonce; and 1/2 of Beyonce's videos look like high tech but lower quality renditions of this video

  • Jody Watley, Pebbles, Karyn White, Nia Peeples, Jasmine Guy, Vanessa Williams, CC Peniston. I miss the late 80's/early 90's jams. We need them back know the state of music is shit in 2011.

  • @hardtechnoboy Dont forget Jody Watley !

  • @hardtechnoboy Yes! Jasmine Guy's 1990 album is dope.

  • @hardtechnoboy absolutely the sad fucking truth! truly........so glad I grew up in the "last hurrah for class" 1980's! Love your comment! :-)

  • this use to be my jam back in the day I was 8 years old when this song came out I love growing up during the 80's I use to sing this like I knew what she was talking about LOL

  • reminds me of Jody Watley.

  • I know a jam written by Babyface when I hear one. I love and miss that era. 

  • You go Karyn so sexy and classy!!!

  • karyn White !!!!!!!!!this song is cool, from 1989, loved that year !!!!!!!!

  • This is classic music being sung by a woman with real authentic talent. She's dressed nicely and is having fun as she entertains the fans. This is how it's done.

  • she so damn sexy and top-notch vocals 2 match!

  • this was music. 

  • I love reading these comments about how much better music was back in the good old 80's.

    I argue with people daily that think the garbage out there today holds a candle to the 80's pop scene.

    Reading these comments lets me know that im not alone in the 80's boat.

    Facts are facts, and the fact is, the worst pop songs from the 80's are better than the best song out today.

  • @peacesells - No doubt! That goes for 90s music too IMO. Music is so incredibly crappy these days even people I couldn't halfway stand from the 80s and 90s sound great in comparison. For example: compare Hanson (that group from the 90s) to Justin Bieber.

    Hanson got on my nerves back then but now they're like fricken Mozart compared to Bieber and Miley Cyrus.

  • @A86 I agree, i am 38 years old and i lived in my country El Salvador until 1988, but we had the same kind of music over there, just like here, pop music, i loved the 90's here in California, and now it is not good at all..

    Today's music can't compete with the 80's and 90's at all..

  • @peacesells What's strange about 80's music is that my parents were saying Karyn, Jody Watley, etc. is crap music compared to the 60's or 70's music scene! Now I find myself saying the same thing about today's music. I must be getting old.LOL

  • @gatorhunter1 Hey, just imagine what parents in the 80's, that hated 80's music, imagine what they think of today's crap on the music charts. I bet they'd appreciate the Karyn Whites' and the Jody Watleys' now alot more.

  • @peacesells amen!

  • put her with any great producer and its a wrap. she needs to bring back some soul and passion.shes still hot at 45 (age doesnt really matter anymore anyway

  • so hot, i would have loved to have dated her. talent,feeling,the whole package,

  • Nostalgia 101 right here! This is taking me back:)

  • @ :52 I think dude cops a feel

  • Karen White has the voice..the face..the body...total package! Not too many femmes around like this anymore...real talk!

  • Talent, no more to say!

  • This stays on repeat on the ipod, i miss her sooooooooo much

  • The 80's was the last decade when music was still full-out happening in the U.S. A small number of nice work happened in the early 90's but music was already "in decline" by then. Since then, the quality has decreased dramatically. A handful of artists have continued to make good music, but only a handful....thank goodness World Music and Smooth Jazz has filled in the "void" magnificently. Karyn White, here, is so, so entertaining in this most fabulous 80's groovy thing.

  • Man I use to love this song back in the day! Back when I was a teenager in the 80's we had variety, We had lots of female singers, male singers and bands...today's music sucks big time...no originality everyone is trying to sound the same.

  • @Mslibrarian100

    YOU ARE SO RIGHT. EVERYONE SOUNDS THE SAME THEREFORE NONE OF THEM ARE WORTH LISTENING TOO.

    KARYN WHITE HAD THE WHOLE PACKAGE UNLIKE THESE SINGERS TODAY.

  • This was my jam back in the day! Today's music sucks big time...Bring back the 90's please!

  • Man, I miss the 80's! I feel sorry for these kids today. They have no idea what real music is. I'm still in love with Karyn :-)

  • Prior to today's music one generally had to have TALENT, be able to sing, write music, or play an instrument...everything now is manufactured even to the way an artist talks, dresses etc. Do artists even write their own songs?- lol

    Don't get me wrong, there are still a few left but of course you don't hear or see them as much.

  • this was way before i was born but  i LOVE this song !!!

  • 88, my freshman year in highschool, this girl in my class would always sing this song everyday for at least 4 months. I love the song but hated her for that, LOL!!!

  • Billboard's #64 hit of '89. Karyn hit #1 soul, #7 pop, in Billboard. God bless!

  • where the hell is she ...???Im in Love

  • I had almost forgotten that once upon a time there was this very distinct and ridiculously fabulous musical style known commonly as R&B. It also slipped my mind that one upon a time there were TALENTED ARTISTS who were more talented than ANYONE attempting to sing/entertain in the "R&B" field who didn't get 1/4 of the praise and adulation that they deserve. Lady gag-gag and Beyonce should watch and learn from this video! IN fact, they couldn't learn because they have no talent :-) LOL!

  • I've all but stop listening to music after this era. I still jam to this CD on my Ipod. Karen is the real deal. 

  • 5 people hate the way they are being loved

  • Dang .....Karyn was FINE ! I loved this song and video back in the 80s

  • I loved Karen White too....I wonder where is she now. Now we know where Beyonce got her stuff from....she was original and genuine!

  • I met her at a Magic Johnson Charity Dinner- Nice, down to earth and looks better in person...

  • 5 people have Lady Gaga posters on their walls.

  • I love karen white i was in high school when this came out damn i want to do it all over again!!!

  • Karyn White had a great booty, I mean, body. Sorry.

  • love this song...OMG, i LOVE Karyn White but c'mon, i went out with an African-American girl for almost 2 yrs. and if i had gotten her hair wet she'd have slapped me somewhere deep down in my soul

  • SWEET LORD... pure HAWTNESS!!!!!!!!!! @ 1:45

    she makes beyonce, lady gah gag,and the rest look like trannies

  • @kwumey I agree..they all suck compared to the singers of this time....

  • @copperbear66 they do indeed.. a shame what music has become

  • @kwumey uh uh not trannies lol

  • @miamivicepastels83 oh hell yeah... I been fooled.. but thats a story best for another time..LOL!!!!!!

  • @kwumey GOOD COMMENT, lol

  • @nissan300zxkid *bowing n grinning*.. Thanks;) ..lol

  • @kwumey lord have mercy lol

  • @RodrigoMJ32  thats what I say every time Im perving this video..LOL!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I love Karen! She was the bomb, I made up a dance step to this in high school and my modern dance class lost it!!!! Ahhh, sweet memories!

  • I very underrated performer.

  • I love this song, Beyonce has nothing on Karyn!

  • @songcandid Why would u even compare the 2....2 different eras hun.

  • @songcandid

    NONE OF THE SINGERS TODAY CAN TOUCH KARYN. DO YOU HEAR HOW SOULFUL HER VOICE IS. THE SONG WRITING, THE BEAT OF THE MUSIC, HER VOICE AND HER LOOK. NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALLED THE TOTAL PACKAGE.

    AWESOME!!!

  • @songcandid thats so true

  • there's a difference between old school and classic, poison, dont you want me, dont be cruel, and many other 80's and early 90's records like this one are straight CLASSICS. hands down.

  • Gorgeous!!!

  • I was 7 years old when that song was out and I still love that song. You got to love growing up in the 80s

  • @POORGEORGIE1 It's a song written/produced by Babyface! Everybody knows that 'Face writes "hooks" that even 3 year olds walk around singing :-)

  • @bourgeoisbrats You aint lying either... Babyface is the business man

  • why did they put that monkey hat on her/ lmao

  • Babyface is singing, "Oh - oh, oh - oh. Oh - oh, oh - oh," at the end of each refrain.

  • 100 PROOF

  • Gotta LUV the late 80s 'wardrobe situation'. lmao

  • Anyone know what happend to her?

  • @jvilla1966 Last I heard Karyn runs her own interior decorating business near Sacremento California.

  • I love this song, it reminds me of the late 80's

  • I loved this song, it takes me back to the late 80's

  • What the hell happened to music?

  • @NNMC04 That's what im saying!!!

    The difference between todays music ( If you can call it that) and the 80's is like the difference between caveman and today's man technology.

    Only difference between the two is one took 20 years and other took 10,000 years

  • Memories of 1988! Loved Karen White from back when she was singing with Jeff Lorber!

  • OMG I used to want to BE HERE in middle school! LOL!!! I looove her! LOL

  • i recently found this cd (yeah cd) with this song and all of theother songs from her first album! I wish Karen would come out with something new! She was one of the best female singers in the 80's &early 90's

  • Sexy as yu-know-what and a great singer/dancer to boot.  They don't make 'em like Karyn anymore!

  • Reminds me of 2nd grade and being asked who my favorite singer is. I said Karen White because she's pretty! Ha! The good 'ol days...

  • Talented and one of the most beautiful and sexiest women to have ever lived on this planet

  • I remember the first time I heard this in 88. I was 20 yrs old driving through the rain in Savannah GA, radio cranked up all the way.

  • This bring backs memories of the "party time" 80's........ I will leave the rest to everyone's imagination...... I'll just say this....... Me & some friends used to love to sit around and chill, and this song was hot at the time and would come on the radio. Those were the days sitting around with cool music playing while having bourbon and coke.

  • I JUST heard this song playing on the tv (on the channel guide) and i was like "OMFG I REMEMBER THIS!" i had to find it cuz i couldnt remember the name or the artist but im so glad i found it!!!!

  • love it

  • Music at this time was exciting because you never knew what to expect....Music's creative juices where flowing during that new jack swing era....Everybody was putting the swing in there tracks and it made everything that much more funkier.

  • Karyn was and is .. one of the most talented and sexiest women to grace this planet!!

  • So glad that I am an 80's baby! I was actually around when this great song was out and I had the privilage of hearing this song when it first came out. I used to jam to this while getting dressed for school in morning, great times. Anyone build that time machine yet?

  • thats a weave.

  • Another wonderful talent from back in the day. Back when music was good & talent was all natural. Didn't take nothing but pure talent & a love for what you were doing. Can't say much for that of taday's music. Real talent has gone unrecognized today. Let's get back to the basic, TALENT & will the real talent, please stand & sing with no music.

  • great singer i rememba my mom use to listen to her when i was very young

  • One of my all time favorite videos! Too bad I wasn't old enough to experience it first hand when it came out.

  • Love it.

  • my goodness; time flies! This woman was a star with hit after hit. After the memories I ask myself who needs American idol and of course I miss Karyn and wish her happiness.

  • Can someone post me a song "Can I Stay With You" the original song by Karyn white please. The album version

  • I never forgot this song. It's one of my favorite of all time. Beautiful voice.

  • karyn's 1st solo top 40 pop hit. made #7 in Billboard.

  • Comment removed

  • The week of February 4, 1989

  • Karen's combination of looks, talent and class is a 1-2-3 punch that will TKO any female singer today for sure.

  • Wow this brings a flood of memories back

  • Karyn was such a great talent!!

  • Karyn I miss you in the music industry but Im glad you have a successful interior design business in Cali...As long as you're happy...But your fans SO SO miss you....

  • LOVE this song. Thanks!

  • i heard this song in my car the other day omg can you say jamming throw back at its finest!!!!!!!
