Dignified essence of Neo-Soul straight from across the pond. These were the days that we all long for...smooth music, good friends, NO VIOLENCE, and peace at the party...God Bless Sweetback for this lovely joint and Amel for making it just that much more heavenly. Peace and 1Love....
sweetback showed their talent as a band with this cut and their two albums. After assisting Helen Adu for years of sucess they definitely showed the value of a great band. This groove is serious.
A lot of people don't know Helen by that name. haha. You have to be a true fan. I remember the first time I heard this song I was so confused. I knew the musicians immediately by their sound, but Amel's voice was new to me I thought I was hearing wrong. I kept saying wait, that's Sade but it's not Sade it's Sade but who is singing I was brain stuck. Then I saw the video and was relieved to see why I was right and wrong at the same time. Helen's cameo blew me away. Amel's voice is masterful and the band has always been incredible. By the way I named my firstborn Sade Mia. 37 years ago.
I wish Sade Adu and Amel Larrieux made a song together with this band - singer Sade's band/ Sweetback. I don't know why this collaboration hasn't happened yet.
What I love about Amel Larrieux, well of course she's beautiful, and I love her singing style, and how she makes nice smooth songs with a nice groove to it where everybody can chill and dance. Omg and the way she plays with her notes in the song! Yes! I love the way she rolls her notes. I will never forget her voice, it stands out so much, and she just so different. I truly love this amazing singer. :)
I bought this album back in 1996 and I was blown away by every song!! You know its going to be a masterpiece when it comes to Sade's Band. It's timeless and hits hard... even in 2020
Yesssss!!!!!! 90’s was the shit… Pumping this going down the highway at 2am in the LAC, with the alpine blasting and the beautiful city lights in the rear-view.
Couldn’t find this song til a few days ago when my uncle played it on my moms birthday 10/10/67. She loved to step to this song. This is a steppers jam. Rest in Eternal peace forever my girl Micki B ❤
OK. This is the first time I've ever heard this song, but it was one of those songs I knew I'd like almost as soon as it started playing. It's got that cool european soul feel like Sounds of Blackness, Soul II Soul, or Brand New Heavies. Very cool.
SUPERB......SWEETBACK with or without SADE will take you to another level of your music appreciation...from groovin bumpin to chillin' or just balllads...FUNKIN' SICK GENIUS....these white boys really understand the groovin industry is all about ...yeah and AMEL is sooo soulfully TALENTED and A GORGEOUS HOTTTIE...WOW
This song is so amazing and beautiful to me!!!! As I move from Chicago to Dallas!!! It reminds me of the VIP IS COUNTY CLUB HILLS IN ILLINOIS CHICAGO I WILL NEVER FORGET CHICAGO AND STEPPING ON THAT DANCE 💃 FLOOR...HAVING A FANTASTIC TIME....
just watced New Youk Undercover S 3 Ep 22 im hearing this for 1st time had me vibing 💯🔥🔥🔥 i had to share with my gurls real r&b hate i missed it back then ..
I remember first hearing this gem on New York undercover back in the 90s and I couldn't find the song, then by accident I came across Sweetbacks album. Damn I was happy. I wish Amel would return, if only she knew how much her followers miss her
This is one of those rare moments when the stars truly align to produce something very special, timeless. Hopefully some kind soul will upload this video in HD one day, 2007's TH-cam compression doesn't do it any favors.
many people didnt know but Sweetback is the name that take the backing band of Sade as a side or solo project, they release 2 records, so friends your are listening to the band behind Sade since 1981, great musicians!
You know….Sade is A GREAT SINGER. However SWEETBACK is the VIBE, that keeps the MOTOR RUNNING. We Love and ADORE You SWEETBACK!!! Damn, how I wish time would never ever go away…..🙏🏾
I was overseas in Toulon France when this song came out. They olayed this in a Lounge. Dark lighting. Neon at the bar. Purple sofa's, red chairs, wood barstools and wood engraved tables. A dj booth up on a top floor in the very back. Smoke filled room. Hot ladies in their full length colored dresses, matching heels. I had on my silk pattern shirt. Slacks. Black patent leather shoes. Smooth Euro hits playing in the background. This. DjKool. Sweetback. Mantronix. the sounds of glasses chattering. In my hand a glass of French Cognac. Sweet. Smooth. Buttery and a hint of lime. It was that lit.
This generation will never understand how DOPE the 90s were. ✌🏽😎
Oh trust us, we KNOW.
do you copy and paste this on all the videos or wha
They won't
😘💝💖💕🙏
Exactly - Had to be there to see it! Last real era before technology started to take over everyday life
2024 and still loving it.
Dear 90s. I love you. Thank you for everything.

Add a hot summer day weekend picnic cookout to that mix. That vibe is just right!
Took me nearly 20 years to find this song. OMG
I'm glad you finally found it! This song is a gem!

Sweetback's music has been in heavy rotation in my car and at home for over 7 years now. They are the best! Love this video too!

I love this song. Got a real 70's vibe to it! Definitely to be played anywhere in the world/any country, when the Sun is setting(winding down time.)
Sade's band and Groove Theory's sexy Amel on a great track from the "Smooth Era" It doesn't get any better than this.
Yesssss!!!!!! 90’s was the shit… Pumping this going down the highway at 2am in the LAC, with the alpine blasting and the beautiful city lights in the rear-view.
POST SADE AT IT'S VERY BEST, EVEN WITHOUT THE LOVELY HELEN ADU. AMEL FITS AS GUEST PERFECTLY IN THIS CLASSIC TUNE 💙🎵🎶💙🎵🎶
Great vocals, great lyrics, great groove....
Amel is soooo unrated! she needs to be gettin some grammys, and she needs to make a cd again!!
Couldn’t find this song til a few days ago when my uncle played it on my moms birthday 10/10/67. She loved to step to this song. This is a steppers jam. Rest in Eternal peace forever my girl Micki B ❤
lyrics and vocals of Amel are beyond Excellent, this song is Grammy worthy in my opinion

I first heard this on New York Undercover.
Wow! this brings back sweet teen-years memories. 90's were the BEST. There will never be another era like that.
96 was a great year for music.
This song is so amazing and beautiful to me!!!! As I move from Chicago to Dallas!!! It reminds me of the VIP IS COUNTY CLUB HILLS IN ILLINOIS CHICAGO I WILL NEVER FORGET CHICAGO AND STEPPING ON THAT DANCE 💃 FLOOR...HAVING A FANTASTIC TIME....
this song brings back a time. thank you you tube.
I still love this song 🎉🎉🎉 Amel Larieux's vocals are Awesome
You all should hear the song with Sweetback and Bahamadia, that one is tight too.
This can lift your spirit

Soothing. Just what a person needs to hear after a long day.

I can listen to this song every day. It's that good and it's not debatable.
I remember first hearing this gem on New York undercover back in the 90s and I couldn't find the song, then by accident I came across Sweetbacks album. Damn I was happy. I wish Amel would return, if only she knew how much her followers miss her
she is very underrated on talent and looks
I love Amel on this song...so laid back. Perfect for a nice rainy day.
I agree with you. She has a relaxing voice.
AMEL is AMAZING...she never got the recognition she deserved in the industry.. It's a damn shame when u have gems like this that fly under the radar.
her voice is a gift from god hope she keeps blessing it.
Yes angel on earth 🌍
This Band is amaziiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnngggggg

I just can't stop listening to this song...The lyrical content are so uplifting
Do it Amel !! One of the true great vocalist of our times!
That's The Band SADE! Wow! Why Am I Just Hearing This Now?
Same here. I was looking up Paul Denham and Stuart Matthewman and was like"whoa, they have a side project?"
This is one of my favorites. Ms. Larrieux really puts her SOUL into this one.
This is one of those rare moments when the stars truly align to produce something very special, timeless. Hopefully some kind soul will upload this video in HD one day, 2007's TH-cam compression doesn't do it any favors.
All true!
Don't forget Bahamadia. She's a rapper but her style is awesome. She also has a long with Sweetback.
many people didnt know but Sweetback is the name that take the backing band of Sade as a side or solo project, they release 2 records, so friends your are listening to the band behind Sade since 1981, great musicians!
I listen to this all the time every morning I think it’s good for setting good intentions and positive affirmations for your life
Paul bass line on this is magnificent.

Amel is beautiful with a beautiful voice ! Perfect song!
You know….Sade is A GREAT SINGER. However SWEETBACK is the VIBE, that keeps the MOTOR RUNNING. We Love and ADORE You SWEETBACK!!! Damn, how I wish time would never ever go away…..🙏🏾
Now thats what I am talking about. What ever happened to music like this eh?. Remember grooving to this back in 96.
You know what I love about this song. This song is I think over 10 yrs old but it sounds like it just came out.
This song will never get old.She is such an amazing artist.She and Sweetback together,is so perfect.
I was overseas in Toulon France when this song came out. They olayed this in a Lounge. Dark lighting. Neon at the bar. Purple sofa's, red chairs, wood barstools and wood engraved tables. A dj booth up on a top floor in the very back. Smoke filled room. Hot ladies in their full length colored dresses, matching heels. I had on my silk pattern shirt. Slacks. Black patent leather shoes. Smooth Euro hits playing in the background. This. DjKool. Sweetback. Mantronix. the sounds of glasses chattering. In my hand a glass of French Cognac. Sweet. Smooth. Buttery and a hint of lime. It was that lit.
I saw you there.
Smooth as silk and full of soul. I missed this one.
Still my all time, everyday favourite 😊
i wish they wouldve done a full project with her! Lot of people didnt know that this was Sade's band! Bad dudes! Real soul music!!
Love amel voice sweet back you guys are fantastic musicians legends big up
