This is a classic 4real. And Mary's background dancer with the darker hair is LaurieAnn Gibson who got her start dancing background for Mary. The uptown records/badboy machine at the time definetly knew how to pick em.
After the intro when the base line drops.....pure Fire. Luv ya Mary. I remember this like yesterday. If you dont get up and dance....you gotta hole n yo soul 4 real.
@stardollstardoll The intro sample is "When She Made Me Promise" by The Beginning of the End, the main bass & saxophone sample is from Tom Scott's cover of the Jefferson Airplane song "Today".
Man it sure would be nice if Mary dropped one more album that was nothing but straight Hip-Hop/Soul before she moved fully into being a soul singer.....I'm talking dope samples out the ass....her dropping a couple of 16's.......that New York Mary we knew back in 1992 and 1994-1995...rough rugged and raw.....just one more time
What I like about this performance is that you can see the-In Living Colour cast snickering as she amkes her way on stage,then*hushing*as she hits those high notes and starts singing.The LAST TRUE FEMALE R&B QUEEN Y'ALL!!!!!
Mary is the shyt!! I've seen a ton of live performances (which is where you tell whether an artist is real or not), and Mary J always sounds good live, and she throws down and gives a hot performance. She is 100% REAL, thats the best way to describe her. On this performance she nails every note and run with ease, just like the studio version, and adds a little extra here and there just to show she's doing her thang. A great live performer, I hope i get to see her perform live someday.
is that boom cat? damn she was getting it......i remember back when mary 1st came out she hardly EVER performed this song........it was always real love....and this is my 1st time seeing this and i used to watch ILC all the time.....she performed this song on here and on SNL....this was my favorite song off that album.....but she was on drugs heavy
she tore this shit up!

I wonder if this is how Laurie got hired on In Living Color, because she hadn't been added to the Fly Girl lineup until the last season.
