Barbara Weathers performing Where Can You Run on Video Soul (1991)

Preceded by a brief chat with Donnie Simpson, this is Barbara performing the Michael Bolton-penned ballad "Where Can You Run," which was the fourth and final single from her solo debut album. From a Valentine's Day special on Video Soul. The song was produced by Wayne Lewis of Atlantic Starr. Barbara is a native of Greensboro, North Carolina, and sang lead on many of Atlantic Starr's biggest hits, including "Secret Lovers," "Always," "If Your Heart Isn't in It," and "Silver Shadow."

I thought she was awesome with A.S. Whatever happened to her? I lost track of her after her first solo album. She was not only beautiful but she can SANG too! A.S. sort of lost the magic when they lost Barbara.

@Vincent50 She also did a second album, which was only released in Japan. But I recommend it. It's called 'Seeing for the Very First Time'! And I agree about the magic being somewhat lost after her departure. Although I will say there were some very solid tunes on the 'Love Crazy' album, the overall "group dynamic" was not the same.

Thanks for this post.  You have a great youtube page. Love your material.

[retrorhythms]

You're welcome. Glad you are enjoying it!

Great post. Beautiful song.

[retrorhythms]

Yes, I love the lyrics, and Barbara sings them so genuinely.

BET lost it when they dropped Video Soul. I always enjoyed how Donnie, Sherri and Angela presented the music, the artists and themselves. It's not a matter of "generations" but of how things were done then. How a beautiful singer like Barbara sang a song she enjoyed rather than an old hit shows this. BET, we couldn't even get you in our homes at first, we know BJ sold you but man - who knew it would be like this? You have taken us and our love for this era of music for granted.

My god she is too damn fine man and had a beautiful voice...She still look good too, I seen her on unsung...I'm 25 and I want her badly lol we don't have to be secretive about our love baby haha

I've always said Barbara was the best female lead AS ever had (no disrespect to the talented Sharon Bryant). She has a very smooth, pure, yet very soulful voice. And, of course, she is beautiful! Very underrated talent and singer!!!

@twilightxoxobella wow thats cool...plz tell ms weathers she sounds gr8 and i saw her on unsung last nite and im sorry she had some turmoil while n atlantic starr but her mark in the world of classic love songs has been permanently made :) thx

[twilightxoxobella]

She's my voice teacher! She's a great teacher! I love her!

[MzSiddiqui]

She was always my fav female artist in Atlantic Star, so beautiful with talent to match. Watch what happens at 2:29 LMBO!!! I know she's thinking "Danm BET yall need to get the audio in order before I sing....Damn!" This was actually when BET had value hence the messed up audio which became BET's signature at one point...until VIACOM bought them then the audio/production improved...sad sad sad.

[111coolavery]

[HUMINATURE]

[MrElMatic1]

Man Barbara Weathers has the voice of an Angel. I don't know how Atlantic Starr let her get away! And she's beautiful. Goose bumps when she sings.
