The Pasadenas are a Rhythm & Blues / Pop formation from the United Kingdom, best known for their hit song "Tribute (Right On)". They had a brief moment in the spotlight in the late 1980s, as a vocal group firmly focused on the sounds of music and artists from earlier decades.
Their music was heavily influenced by 1950s Doo-wop, 1960s Motown, and early 1970s Funk and R&B. However, they presented these influences when mainstream pop music had become too shallow and over-produced; instead of sounding dated, the group was actually a refreshing change of pace. The band was not given much attention in America, but they were briefly stars in their native country.
The group scored a big hit in 1988 with its initial release, "Tribute (Right On)", a decent if rather generic uptempo cut that paid homage to soul luminaries such as Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye. The companion album, To Whom It May Concern was a positive, if uneven, effort that was a refreshing variation from the electronic funk that dominated R&B radio at the time. In addition to "Tribute", the disc included the minor hit "Riding on a Train", and a fair version of The Chi-Lites' "Living In the Footsteps of Another Man".
The group followed with Elevate in 1991 and Yours Sincerely in 1992, but never again charted in the U.S., although they landed a UK hit with a remake of New York City's "I'm Doin' Fine". The Pasadenas ceased recording after Yours Sincerely, but continued to perform around the UK into the 21st century.

I loved that video from 1992, never knew of that recording and never touched the original New York City track. But who was that smashing lady with the presentation please?
Lol..the leadsinger looks like Martin Lawrence ;)...but the song is great!!! Thx Pasadenas for this great version and thx New York City for the beautiful original
Bus..it is great to be proud to be British when you hear this great group (and justifiably so!),but,in the same breath,you have to give alot of credit to the American group called "New York City" for first releasing this song ...because without New York City 's rendition...There is no Pasadenas rendition!!!
