[sexyasaslowwine]

[educatorpoet]

@sexyasaslowwine ...ROFLLMAO...NO! I still remember the moves and do them to when I watch this video. You never forget the lyrics or dancesteps to good music. You are not alone. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

[RushingRussia]

Love, LOVE this video. Has nothing to do with the subject matter, but that just seems to make it so much better. It also brings me back to a time when videos were sweet and simple... and fully clothed.

[sukumu66]

Produced By Angela WinBush!

[visionkingdom]

[star67329]

@visionkingdom I totally agree, you had to be under a rock not to know that Lalah made this song, she is a amazing singer, really talented and so slept on by many people..its a shame.

[visionkingdom]

[soscambo]

[sallymeashubok]

did not know that this was lalah!!! omg

[MsIntercessor]

dttoooooooo

[33dks]

Freshman Year!!!!! Man!!

[lalayinise]

Damn I miss the days when women can really sing and didn't have to get naked or be a size 0. I always stress the best talent is always with the ones that are not promoting sex and seduction. No doubt Lalah Hathaway is a prime example of what I'm always preaching. So beautiful & so talented true talent where has it all gone? Better yet why don't it get promoted?

[impeessa]

lalah para mi tiene mucho talento y puede llegar estar con sus canciones en el primer lugar del hit parade si yo fuera locutor promocionara todas sus canciones son muy buenas

[CAMERONDELORIS]

classic!

[Hazeleyedhonee]

none can compare to lalah...just good music!

[dfrd1000]

YEAH ZANDTV~I PLAYED THE CASSETTE TILL THE TAPE GOT STUCK INSIDE THE CASING! I STILL GET THAT SAME FEELING NOW LIKE I GOT THEN WHEN I HEAR THIS LP!

[tessmoniques]

OH NOO!! I never knew who sang this song.. so cute. specially the the old school robotic dancing of the early 90's

[TheAithWONDER]

Wow Lalah been around for a min. this was back in the 90(the big black shoes was the give away)

[tammy77ful]

yeah this song was written & produced by angela winbush plus she is also singing in the background too. i love this song i have the cd & still blazing in my ride.

[fishie5000]

5 ppl have never cryed

[lv2teachk]

This is TRUE talent, back then and now. She is so soulful and makes these so called artist today look stupid. I wish she would get the recognition she so DESERVES.

[lv2teachk]

This is TRUE talent, back then and now. She is so soulful and makes these so called artist today look stupid. I wish she would get the recognition she so DESERVES.

[HotButtaBaby1]

[MzMeanE]

[Kwanfu74]

[thejazzman210]

@Kwanfu74 Yes, Angela Winbush wrote and produced this song.

[ibreathemusic81]

@Kwanfu74 Wow..good ear..I hear Angela Winbush too..I think she did produce this:)

[Kwanfu74]

@ibreathemusic81 Yep she did!! Someone confirmed it for me!! Angela is awesome!

[ibreathemusic81]

@Kwanfu74 Yes she sure is..I remember one of the isely brothers album called spend the night..She produced most of that album I believe...Angela is so much underrated:)

[fishie5000]

NOSTALGIC MEMORIES

[catman789]

[Lovelycutiewitlocs]

[Krisando]

@Lovelycutiewitlocs

[blackitalian36]

[honeyplug]

[oakraidergrl4lif]

I am 31 and I remember being in junior high when this song came out. I remember seeing this video on Video Soul on BET back in the day. This takes me back when I had recordable cassettes to record songs off the radio.

[BonitaApplebum1]

my sister used to love this song when i was a kid! she was a teen and i was a munchkin i'll always think of her when i hear it!

[melliemel32]

Always been in love with this song...so light and romantic...used to listen for hours...makes you want to be in love.  I have all of Lalah's stuff! That's my girl! REAL talent.

[1lifestyle]

now this is what you call hip hop dancing

[solarfactz]

The Mop Top Crew was no joke back then.

[GrapLuvaMr7]

@solarfactz That was Henry(Link), Calief, Voodoo Ray, Marquest, and I think the short dude's name is Kita. Mop Top used to rock!! Check out the Gyrlz "Jam Jam" video for more hot steps!!

[larryluvewf]

They offbeat dancing but i love it!!!

[rere1love]

this was my jam 

[JazAnell23]

Luv this song I can't stop listing to it.

[fanofprotopic]

I love this. But it's pretty obvious the melody is "borrowed" from the Smokey Robinson song with an almost similar title..

[kkwheeler01]

the video is low budget but I LOVE the song. I so remember this.

[planeterf]

OMG!!!! FINALY FOUND THIS ONE!!

[iGLOW522]

[dimpleslovesya]

[arronnov]

@Pa2PaSmooth The dancers in this video is what us black African people do in most part when it comes to music and that's jamming!

[eastnybabe]

[maddfreshbae17]

When I Heard This Song I Fell In Love With It

[larryjackson4125]

You weren't the only one... I am so glad that I saw her on tv last week....

[jeromemaurice]

Sophmore year of HS this was my joint! I was crazy about Lalah!!!1

[kronmoore]

[MEKOSTJOHN]

[1GlamourDoll]

[Ellasings7]

Bomb song that is ageless. She is so pretty and sings as

good as her daddy Donny. She was the only 1990 singer

that had a realness in her voice as 80's singers did. Real

singers, entertainers and love songs with meaning..today

the music is so pointless and lame!!!

[liveoncamera]

Lalah Hathaway sang so beautifully at her birthday last night! Congrats on the Grammy nomination ma you deserve it!

[xLuiKangx007]

I Love that Music

[hazeleyes171]

I 4GOT about his song!!! I am so GLAD this is on YouTube. You can see her father in her face. She looks just like Donny.

[crystalandytabla]

This shit has got the grroooove!!!!!

yeah love it!!!

can't help move my body geez!!!!

[educatorpoet]

THIS WAS MY JAM BACK IN 1990! A year before I graduated high school. Lalah is still the business. Music is not the same. Glad to see you the younger crew on here commenting about Lalah and her vocal skills. She is talented like her dad the late Donnie Hathaway and he was before my time. Thanks for posting this!

[innatecoolness]

I'm 20.Never heard this song before until I saw the video on vh1 soul.And I just fell in love with it.

[skins4life21taylor]

Yea im 25 and dont remember this song at all. I bet they didn't play it in my area because i remember all radio songs from this era. I seen it on VH1 about a month ago and kept rewinding it on my DVR. Love this song

[smlz50]

yep same here im almost 20.and this past summer i saw this video on vh1..and i just in LOVE with it! it has that smooth tempo and at the same time you can dance to it..i was just rocking my head back n forth to this joint while watching da video..i love the dancing so unique! vh1 soul=best ol school video channel..well use to but not anymore they dont really show the old school segment anymore..they play the same wack videos 24/7..egh!

[MOBROOKS]

HELL YEAH!! I LOVE THIS SONG!!

[iluvmyboba]

I always found this video to be very tranquil. For Lalah to be a new artist at the time, I respected the fact that she wasn't trying to be flashy. Now that's class.

[blizzacktwo]

Oh my God !! Thank You!! I haven't hear this in years. 1989 was the year if I'm correct ! Thank you so much. I was 21 years old back then and this was my JAM !!! FORT CARSON COLORADO !!! Thank you thank you so much !!!!

[davidbobo25]

What year did this song came out?

[thefury617]

1990

[davidbobo25]

Thank you so much! I was four years old. I love 90's music!

[ZanDTV]

I remember purchasing the cassette of this song and i just played it over and over to death!!!This song has Angela Winbush all over it . i believe she produced this one, and i hear her in the background

[savvysiren72]

@ZanDTV I broke my cassette 3 times! LOL its funny to say cassette. I even tried doin the infamous tape job to repair one of em, but it got stuck in my tape player damn casio!

[TheChocolatte77]

@savvysiren72 lol.that is funny! i did the same thing with this cassette too....wow.are we telling our age?..lol.

[Fbaise1]

@ZanDTV Yes, it do!

[duart310]

[avss1]

GREAT SONG 4 EVER

[kavaske]

@avss1 Great production from Angela Winbush as well!!!!!!

[superwomanjones]

I love this song soooo much! I love to see the guys dance in this video! I still have this song on CASSETTE SINGLE! lol! Classic!

[xxxlady77]

cant help thinkin that her dad would have smoked this song easy!

[AdorzAaliyahSince94]

i thought I saw Pete Rock AND Trouble T-Roy (rip)....but the quality is a lil blurry. At moments , she sounds just like her dad, her voice is just a lil higher pitched than his, but she's def her dad's daughter! thanx for posting!

[sixfobrutha]

Maaaan this was the jam back then. Dont have music like this no mo'.

[curlin2008]

[getlooose]

i used to dance like them when i was little

[kokobeenz]

Somebody said this song has Angela Winbush written all over it? I thin this a remake of, or at least contains elements of Rene and Angela (remeber the duo she was in with her husband) song "You don't have to cry"

[lookatthisfunnyvid03]

yea it does song like it

[sereeen7]

danngggg...i love this song and the dancers in this video were good!! (i agree with budchick----, he is gettn it at 2:23)

[KenandKeisha]

This used to be my jam!!!

[YvetteHardin]

oh my gosh!! this used to be my song for real...i love her!

[FrankBankFilmz]

one of the dancers looks like Pete Rock...was that him?

[budchick]

damn I NEVER thought of that..now that i'm looking at it, IT DOES LOOK LIKE PETE ROCK..

[babydoll8779]

this takes me back

[Aciremet]

Damn I had no idea Lalah's been around so long...I Absolutely love her and her daddy's music!

[sp0iled0ne]
