When this song came out, I was in a bad place mentally. Couldn’t understand why I gave my all to people and they always let me down. Then I heard this song with that bass line and that slumbering rhythm, then Lord the chiming of those angelic voices came in, and it was over. I started crying, me a grown man of 19, like a baby. It was a turning point for me, a spiritual cleanse if you will, to leave all these people behind, get up, move on, and start over. And to this day, at 61, These women have been a part of my story and will always love them for it. And Lord those voices. Thanks.
Antonio that's a great story and I can relate. We are the same age. At 19 I was just joining the Navy and was stationed in California during my time in the service. I had always been a fan of The Jones Girls since high school and always wanted to see them live. I got my wish when I was 21 and they performed at a New Years Eve bash in San Francisco. It was like listening to angels sing. I was like totally smitten and mesmerized. There will never be another female trio like The Jones Girls.
I loved this song even tho I was the one she didn't wanna leave but had to. I have regrets being that guy but i did learn from it. Karma is real and i got it all back and more. She was a great person and I pray she's doing well in life. I've changed for the better because of this song. Since i now KNOW what it feels like. Thank you "Jones Girls !"
@@rodneyplayer5785 I was also in the military (Army) at the time in Texas. I saw them during the tour to promote their 3rd Philly release. By this time I was in a better place in my life and could really appreciate their style and form of singing. My mother stated that they sound like Hummingbirds when they sing.
I completely understand... I've given myself and the return only crushed me not them ...lesson learned but more for me as I grew to be more humble to God... I love this song I was probably 11 years old but I remember feeling the emotions of pain i didn't understand but unfortunately would experience that most my life....God bless you brother!!! Thank you for sharing ...
Lookin' like 3 barbie dolls ! A Class Act ! And the harmonies are so on POINT ! This is one of my prize possessions ! The Bass line was off-the Chain ! 1979 was the beginning of the "JONES GIRLS" masterpieces ! They came OUT super strong ! Right at the end of the "DISCO" era !
Im sorry but these ladies are AMAZING AF! Beautiful, classy, melanated magic - and they SANG! I love me some Jones Girls. This and Nights Over Egypt are two of my all time fav songs!
More than likely it was the guys who put them together, since that's who selected the members and wrote and produced their material. But... great observation. I totally hear it. Never thought about it before. If En Vogue covered this (which I would thoroughly enjoy), I think Cindy on lead would remind a lot of people of Shirley.
Loved Me Some Jones Girls! I was in high school when this came out. What a classic dance anthem. I think they're wearing the dresses that were worn on the album cover. 😃
Alright now!!! I definitely remember this performance of The Jones Girls! It was broadcast in the summer of 1979 from were I was born and raised and I still live, Baltimore, Maryland! I was maybe 13 or 14 years old and ready to start the 9th grade! It was aired from my favorite television station that I love so very much and grew up with, WMAR-TV, Channel 2!!! Yeah,yeah,yeah!!!💖💕❤🎼🎹🎤🎧📺📺📺
...Love the Jones Girls! "The Feelings Killing Me", "Knockin", "Children of the Night" and Shirley's "Last Night I Needed Someone".. yasss! Thanks for sharing your musical heritage!
Although I was just ten-years-old when their hit single was released, I thought they sounded incredible. Today their music still sounds fresh and these ladies were a class act
When I first heard these Queens... It was 1am in the Morning driving with my Grandmother, & she played this magical song titled "NIGHTS OVER EGYPT" from there i fell n Love with the Sisters. Ive Always wished I was born and could have experienced them in their Prime in a concert.
One of the valuable offerings in my collection ! Does anyone have the flawless videos copies ? Shirley has "The Voice !" We were privileged to know them !
The Jones Girls are so sexy mamas. Sister Valerie, Sister Shirley and Sister Brenda Jones are pure sweet candies pure sweet candies. I just love a man beautiful as well as inspiring too. RIP Val and Brenda
they look like super models! i think this song came out in 1979? i had just moved to Los Angeles from Memphis tenn! this track brings back such good memories
I literally watch this clip multiple times throughout my week, cuz LISTEN! 🥴🥴🥴 When I tell you that choreography wuz EVERYTHING to me???? Especially that lil’ 2-step during the “If ya keep ooooooonnn treatin’ me the way you do” part! Just FUNKY and FEISTY all at once! Then that call-n-response part with Brenda and Shirley tossing vocals back and forth sent me UP! 😍😍😍😍 The Jones Girls really are the cat’s meow! 🔥💯✨
Lol! Thank you queen, we appreciate the love more than you know. They were definitely LIT back then and still now. I love seeing the impact of my mom and aunts so I really appreciate this comment, god bless you, love and respect 🙏🏿
@@IamCamJones Absolutely! They are true GEM! God bless your family! 💪🏾✨💯 Also, much love and respect to your mother, Ms. Shirley Jones, for keeping the legacy alive! Thanking them for so much timeless music!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the song so much. I have it on a Promo white label 12" vinyl, and the commercial Disco 12" Vinyl. What a classic R&B / funky / soulful record. I fell out the first time I heard it. It reminds me of Mary Clark, "Take Me I'm Yours". If you have not heard that before, you MUST check it out. It was produced by the golden ear of Patrick Adams in 1980. Sadly, it did not receive the proper promotion it deserved. It was rumored (From Dimitri From Paris) That LaShawn Records, (Amongst many small labels) were in fact fronts for big drug businesses. So, they were not concerned about the artist or their product. Such incredible, extraordinary soulful music. This is Mary Clark, "Take Me I'm Yours": th-cam.com/video/pjB1QK43zxM/w-d-xo.html
The Firm ,Jay-z sampled this song thank your mom and aunts for introducing their songs to the young generation it made us go back searching for the original source Xscape covered their song Who Can I Run to I found out about the original from my mom .

70’s black women were breathtaking!!
When vocals were NOT AUTO TUNED!!! Real raw talent and the harmonies 🔥
Stop hating.
Raw talent frfr

Yes! Bygone era of real vocal talent
The Jones girls and the Emotions are some of the most beautiful voices ever. I could listen to then all day.
this song is STILL in heavy rotation on my playlist
Right! This is a CLASSIC! This is on my lawn mowing playlist.
And "ALWAYS" will be in mines!
In heavy rotation on mine too!

Yes!! I love Nights Over Egypt. ❤🔥🔥
@@adrienneflowersscott9290 RIGHT! They just don’t make music like that any more. These ladies were and are still AMAZING!
This is a master piece
Real singing without autotune. I love it
I love Shirley's expressions they did that the harmonies are mind blowing.
The BEST group EVER!!! One of my prized possessions is a beautiful letter Shirley wrote to me thanking me for being a fan!
My favorite female trio! Beautiful harmony. Amazing lead by the one only Shirley Jones❤💕
They are awesome and I still say En Vogue definitely watched these beautiful ladies 24/7.

@@channelskip agreed the both are great just never got the respect they deserve both groups were ahead of their time.
En Vogue take after Sister Sledge. They have so many similarities
The year was 1979 summertime when this song ruled the airwaves - owww! boogie chune!!!
Underated talent never forgotten rip those no longer with us.❤
