All these musician's from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's don't realize what contribution to human history they were involved in. All of this golden era of music will be remembered for millennia.
I'm 33 and I cant see this music being remembered for millennia, kids these days are to stubborn and backwards, its up 2 us to show our kids whats up👍🏿💙
The summer of 1983 I was 13 years old. I drove my whole house crazy with this song and Candy Girl. I can still hear my mother yelling “enough already with this fucking Juicy Fruit” 😂😂😂 Sweet Memories for real! Much love from Harlem NYC ❤️❤️❤️
I went to see Mtume at Rocky City Nottingham with my sister, I was only 16. My sister managed to get us backstage, James wrote on my ticket, “stay sweet n Juicy”.. I still have the ticket today even though I’m now 53 years young.. One of the greatest bands ever.. 2021, still rocking this tuuuune...!!! 🥰
@@HitsFromThePastI agree people confuse race with culture. Whether people like it or not one is intertwined with the other and we ought to collectively celebrate it.
1-10-2022 - Rest In Power, Brother Mtume..Thank you for providing such a wonderful soundtrack through movies, tv, and of course, on the dance floor. Prayers are lifted for God's blessings of Strength and Comfort to your family and other loved ones.
My husband passed and this is one of the last songs we were dancing to.. it was so unexpected. We are young and we were just listening to oldies or as I call it cook out music on Memorial Day 2024.. he always said we were gonna sit on the porch in our rocking chairs when we got old and he was gonna be pushing me in my wheelchair and for him to leave this earth and leave me here all alone leaves me deeply saddened!! So show all the love while they are present because when they are gon that’s it!! He use to always kiss me and I use to say ok .. ok.. that’s enough and to know I will never get another one of those many kisses is Crazy!! Maaaannnn
@@robertnelsonjr4648 OMG You just hit a home run with those comments TRUE DA!!! Still listenin how about February 28 2020 I will always have ode skool music in my blood 4EVER!!!How about you Robert?
@@robertnelsonjr4648 well the new school needs to go back to the old school and learn what talent is, because as far as i am concerned very few artist today have any talent. I guess this is why i have not bought any newer artist CDs frankly only about 10% is good now days.
My father is always saying this. I think this song came out when he was a freshman in college. This was his favorite song. Fast forward decades later when my father became a college professor and was and still is teaching at the Ohio State University he somehow got Mtume's phone number, called him and invited him to OSU. When Mtume arrived my father told him that Juicy Fruit was his all-time favorite song. Mtume responded, "stop lying young Brother." Don't know why he called my father young cause he was in his 40s at the time. Anyway, my father replied, "I'm serious, Juicy Fruit is my all-time favorite song." Mtume smiled a wide smile and got chocked up."
My generation was so lucky. A baby/toddler in the 60's. A toddler/lil kid/ big kid/teenager in the 70's. A teenager into my 20's in the 80's. Mid 20's to Mid 30's in the 90's. Got to experience all the great music through all those eras.
What an all time classic good soul music my his soul rest in loving 💓 peace ✌️ I was not even born when this song was played. Wow wow nice music they made there.💓💯💥🔥
Thank you for pointing out the bass. The combination of the bass and the drum beat make this song and is why it’s been used so often in rap songs. Love it!
The 80s peaked in 83/84z. Still can't believe this drops the same year as Billie Jean (and the rest of the Thriller juggernaut), Outstanding, Cold Blooded, Atomic Dog, Time Will Reveal and yes, All Night Long.
@@hiltonturner8909Notorious BIG wasn't even the first to sample it...Notorious B1 sampled it 1 year before....check it out...the name & all just blows your mind, lol.
true story. i had to kick my nephew out the car, when this came on and he thought they ripped it off biggie. i gave him time to walk and think about it. It was either throw the radio out the window and listen to his foolishness, or him. So down the road we went, the radio and I.
tony tony Hey I can understand where you're coming from I'm single Mother of kid's And they just don't know what's Real sex love songs are? That was my kid's first think? Lol 😂 😂 😂 so silly,
If you like the lead vocalist, her name is "Tawatha" and she has really good solo album. My favorite song on her solo album is "thigh ride" its super sexy they wouldn't play it on the radio.
Soar High onto your next Journey !!!! Thank You for sharing your talents with us . Condolences to your family and friends & all the lovers of your music !!!! Fly High Mr.James Mtume your assignment here completed 🙏🏾💜
In 1983, at Fort Hood, Texas, as a supply specialist with the 27th Finance Company, I recall fond memories of Specialist Cartagena, Jose, Specialist Agosto, Jose, and many other good friends.
Remember listening to this in the stockade (1983) that was next to the commissary in Fort Hood. Open base back then. Good times in Killeen over the weekend landed me in the stockade.
This era of music will never be duplicated. RIP James Mtume and thanks for your contribution to music. This is the clean version. I remember her saying you lick me every where for the first time and I was bugging. 😂
This is such a beautiful, melodic song. While I enjoy listening to it a lot, I just can't help but think of Biggie's 'Juicy' every time I hear this. I get very nostalgic and emotional these days being that BIG ain't here no more. Thank you Mtume for making this classic and RIP Biggie!
Oh hell to the yeah!!How about June 16 2019 This beautiful classic is in its own class of its own do you agree? I will always have ode skool music in my blood 4EVER!! A trip down memory lane good ode days 4SURE!!!
I would be singing this song as a teenager and my Grandma would be having a fit..I didn't know what the words meant...as an adult I figured it out..now I knew why my Grandma was flipping out
I had no business singing this at 15, but did that stop me from singing into a hairbrush in my room? It did not. I knew what it was about but didn't *know* what it was about 😉
My young daughter was cleaning out my car and decided to turn the radio on and listened to my favorite old school station, after she finished and came into the house she said: dad I was listening to you music! "That's baby making music". Lol To me it's beautifully performed both musically & vocally. Been listening all my life.👣👣❤
Yes 2022 and still enjoying this oldie. I discoverd this song for the first time last year along with other fabulous singers like Rick James and as an African i really appreciate the greatness of the Black community in the world. Ancestors are proud of you and please raise your vibrations as high as possible so they can notice you and communicate with you.
i remember this when i was in the service in 83. all the brothers in my squadron were playing it i joined in and became the hommie white boy ,there was no race issues in the military we were all brothers !
RIP James Mtume. I just felt like hearing Juicy Fruit. Just read about all the songs you produced and wrote. I like your dance moves too; sexy. So gifted and talented. Girl you sang that song too❤
Droppin' like flies right now. . . Juicy Fruit & Sugar Free & a broken heart. I have played Mtume on ALL of my dancefloors from Nebraska to Chicago to Ohio to California to Nevada. I appreciate how much you & your music has been part of the Foundation to the Soundtrack of my life. PEACE Sir and Thank You. 😎🎶💔🥂🏳🌈
Amazing. His destiny intertwined with this song was no mishap. Its an eternal story left to all of us to question our own soul. What a sacrifice. Thx Otis.

What a MASTERPIECE!!!!!Still listening how about September 29 2022
I had to teach a woman what this song was about. Specifically that line. By the time the lesson was over she was shivering with goosebumps. I had to wrap her in a blanket.
Back when I was a teenager, there was a crackhead in my neighborhood that used to dance just like that. That dude always had some sweet moves. LOL !!!!
OMG Yvonne you just hit a home run with those comments TRUE DA!! This beautiful classic is straight FIRE I had to call the FIRE department LOL!!! Do you hear them coming? When real music speaks for itself timeless indeed AMEN!!! Still listenin how about February 18 2020 JUICY !!!

Back when Black Folks played All the Instruments in the Band!
We gotta get back to this
Why does it matter who plays the instrument
@@Santos-px7ep It matters because of the creative style. This is no knock on other races but its our culture sound of R&B.

Totaly agree ha my grandsons name is hendrix ha so krank it up 4us oldies
You can't deny the production on this song. A classic
deep appreciation for this track/sound ... I’d never be able to yell “IT WAS ALL A DREAM ...” if not for “Juicy”
Imagine all the hard work in the studio crafting this beats without computer software just real instruments pure talent crazy!!!!!
They had MPCs that thing is still incredible. Listen to the drum loop
Before it was dictionary s to look up world's.
This was 1983. There was already MIDI and the drums are actually a computerized loop. A Linndrum to be precise. So the process was already streamlined
it's a drum machine dudes ahahah
Not even that hard bro

Although I'm suer a lot of people got naked listening to this..
There’s a “scandalously dressed” white woman hanging with black men that’s naked for 1983
Say it again!! And Amen and the people in the back said Amen!!!!
Talent n substance

I was a little girl when this dropped, and I never thought this song would still have legs into my teens, my twenties, my thirties, and even now!
Released July 29,1983. In fact, Hurricane Alicia made landfall while the song was racing up the charts.
This was the song back in the day,,,I rock with it...then now I rock with Jesus!!!!
I've never saw this video bevore today... I love this love this....
Daamn this brings back some nostalgic memories from back in the disco days. How i miss the good old times.
