WOW....I can't even remember the last time I heard this song!!! SO young....it's just so funny that these are the same guys that had EVERYBODY hunched over "doing da butt"......
songs like this should have never went away.....youngstaz, pay close attention...this man is bearing his soul, it's called being vulnerable and being ready to lay it on the line for someone....must to be learned from this!
watching this video reminds me of how brothers us too get down. well dressed,smooth,respecting the ladies, & not afraid too say i'm sorry my man for stepping on your shoe. you just don't see or hear about shit like this anymore.where's all the great groups from back in the day? males and females who could sing. today's bullshit ass music is just a bunch of cookie cutter,ticky tock,pre-school bullshit that has no substance,passion,love,friendship,funk,soul or memories for life in it.
I know but imagine a good slow jam tape playin when this song come on... mood is set and they start singing then out of nowhere yo boy come in with his part real LOUD like, and I'm like 'What was that'.. love the group tho
@TheGemini90 I dont know either. Even though Cameo and Confunkshon had way more hits. This EU hit made everybody saying that EOWW! sound.It was funny the way Sugarbear said it though. He sound a little more country than everyone else. It seems like each word he said was stretch in every syllable in a long drawl
@43MILFify Wrong they were performing in the early 70's, I remember when Sugar Bear was skinny thing back in 72 is when I first saw EU perform, Sugar is the only original from way back when.
@TheNmorales they are still performing daily here in D.C. The thing with go go music is with the exception of EU and Chuck Brown it never really caught on outside of the DC area but it will never die here. I am 44 my babysitters were partying with EU and Chuck Brown. I was raised on them as well and now my daughter listens to the younger go go bands the old heads pass it on to the youngins and the music continues to be our music no matter who else likes it or doesn't like it we love it!!
For My Good friend Mike Bacote...hope you are doing o.k, haven't heard or seen you in years but whenever i hear this song will always remember you. love always. m
E.U. doing it. I am so proud of my DC people. Rare Essence, Chuck Brown, Trouble Funk, Experieice Unlimited, Ayre Rayde, Proper Utensils, Mass Extinction, Hot Cold Sweat, JunkYard Band all of them and even more bands from the DC area helped solidify DC music.
DAMN DAMN DAMN...I haven't heard this song in 20 years. I always regretted not buying this 45 when I was at the record store one day back in '89. Thank you very much for this post!
This was a song that just snuck up on you. I remember hearing it for the first time and being amazed that something this calming came from E.U. My mom liked it some much she bought the single on vinyl. Which is really saying something 'cause mommy didn't just buy anything from any group. E.U was a very interesting and obviously diverse group.
Huggy Bear that's saying yeah! That man looks the same today as when this video was out! He hugged me so tightly 17 years ago at WBLS-FM studios! God Bless him and E.U!
I got in trouble for sing the lyric to the song that goes ..."you make my nature rise..." my daddy was under the truck and he slid from under there and snatched me up off my roller skates and was like...girl do you know what it means to make a nature rise...I didn't I was just jamming....needless to say i ain't sing this one in his presence anymore
@SugarShandy That's a funny situation. We were young we did not know what things meant. When BBD came out with "Do Me", I did know what it meant and did not know why my parents forbade me to sing it. NOW I KNOW!
dude... if you are 20 yrs old right now, then that means you were just born around the time this came out in 89 and I doubt you would remember hearing it on the radio back then (smh). And, 95% of of what comes out today is "crap." E.U. was most certainly NOT crap.
Well in my defense 95% of wats out now pretty much defined a generation with the exception of rap. This E.U. crap apparently just had an effect on you from wat i read about the group's minor history. Who are you the music pope?
Whoa Whoa.. wait a minute. 95% of music today's music defined a GENERATION? And what might that definition be? Yeah, it defined a generation of disposable, crappy, low-standard music! Who was your Idol of this decade? Britney Spears? LOLOLOLOL. Or better yet, maybe Miley Cyrus? lol. You grew up in one of the sorriest, low-budge eras for music. And btw, E.U. was very popular in the DC area, where go-go music flourished. Of course you wouldn't know about that, now would you?
Dude E.U. wasn't even a commericial act like Britney Spears or Miley Cyrus. E.U. was just another band who followed in pursue with the New Jack Swing for like a minute and most of the New Jack acts of the 80s/early 90s weren't even commericial except acts like New Edition or SWV who had high chart success. Mainstream acts are people who define a generation cause that's what exposure does when you put out work talented work. Not that E.U. wasn't talented, but they no chart success
Hey, no one is saying that E.U. were HUGE....lol. It's not like they were the Beatles. Us older R&B folks simply appreciate their sound, as E.U. was highly under-rated. You talk about going "commercial", as if that's something "good." Record sales don't = talent. And 95% of what comes out today is rubbish and anything, but talent. Britney Spears and Miley only got as far as they did, because today's young ppl don't have high standards and image takes priority over talent in today's industry!
1st, to keep this argument friendly, i didn't say E.U. were HUGE lol. someone on here made it seem like they were and i had to correct him. you must think Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus look really hot to imply that's how they got far cause if that's the case, then Sinead O'Connor wouldn't had gotten a Grammy nod. Britney and Miley were given professional recording producers who made great sound for their music and great sound is what overshadows the lyrics, voice, and looks of an artist.
E.U. didn't define an era- true. But they're damn sure better than most of the CRAP that comes out today. I feel sorry for anyone born after 1980. You don't know real music when you hear it..lol
Sound that came from the band E.U. is something that didn't appeal to a generation of music listeners, only to a small crowd that you were apart of at the time. Every generation has to have their ''huge artists'' just like Boy George and Michael Jackson were huge in your day, but at the same time unattractive to the ladies, so today's generation got Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus. So you can't tell me looks is what got Spears and Cyrus by cause you're 100 percent wrong.
(smh) You don't get it, do you? YES, I'm telling you that IMAGE (yes, that would include looks) is why Britney Spears, Miley and so many of these other crappy artists today made it to the top. You mention Boy George and Michael Jackson. That was the 80's, where success was based on TALENT, not your IMAGE (and btw MJ was considered very handsome back in the day to many women!). Sinead O'Conner- again, it was her TALENT that made her successful. Do you get it now???
Am i speaking latin here? Success being based on talent is what i was talking about this entire time. Either the light on your computer screen was dim or you had a hard time reading the words because you're talking about the same thing i was talking about. I said Boy George, Michael Jackson, Sinead O'Connor all had talent. what are you talking about? And by the way Britney and Miley has had performing experience since they were tots so they were already prepared to get in the big leagues.

Sound that came from the band E.U. is something that didn't appeal to a generation of music listeners, only to a small crowd that you were apart of at the time. Every generation has to have their ''huge artists'' just like Boy George and Michael Jackson were huge in your day, but at the same time unattractive to the ladies, so today's generation got Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus. So you can't tell me looks is what got Spears and Cyrus by cause you're 100 percent wrong.

(smh) You don't get it, do you? YES, I'm telling you that IMAGE (yes, that would include looks) is why Britney Spears, Miley and so many of these other crappy artists today made it to the top. You mention Boy George and Michael Jackson. That was the 80's, where success was based on TALENT, not your IMAGE (and btw MJ was considered very handsome back in the day to many women!). Sinead O'Conner- again, it was her TALENT that made her successful. Do you get it now???

Am i speaking latin here? Success being based on talent is what i was talking about this entire time. Either the light on your computer screen was dim or you had a hard time reading the words because you're talking about the same thing i was talking about. I said Boy George, Michael Jackson, Sinead O'Connor all had talent. what are you talking about? And by the way Britney and Miley has had performing experience since they were tots so they were already prepared to get in the big leagues.
