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 ❤️❤️❤️
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👍🏿💙
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...!!! 🥰
@@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.
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 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.
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."
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.💓💯💥🔥
Every second of this song and video is a masterpiece full stop, but the imagery and vocals at 2:09 hit on such a different, sublime level. Its peak 80s music and imo, excellent in terms of all music history
I was stationed in Hanau , Germany in the Army in 1983 when this Jam came out! When it was played at the club, the part when she says “I’ll be your Lollipop, you can lick me everywhere 🎶“! Everyone would go wild! 😅😂 Still a classic in 2024! Miss the 80’s! 🥲
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.
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.
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!
@@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.
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 🙏🏾💜
@@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.
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.👣👣❤
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!
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. 😂
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 was stationed in Germany when I first heard this awesome R&B Group my roommate Jones had a crazy stereo system and he always blast good R&B Music during 84. What a year to remember!!!
One of the biggest tracks from 1983, later revitalised by Notorious BIG, Mtume led by percussionist & producer James Mtume, with the voice of Tawatha Agree & what a winner this song was
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.
this song was playing in the limo we rented when me and my hubby got married...30 years ago! I can't remember where I put the remote control 10 mins ago - but I remember that day like it was yesterday ... and its still "our song" ... I hear songs from the 70's and 80's and it sure does bring back some awesomeeee memories ... Now...if only I knew then....what I know now ;)
This is one of the songs you wonder as a producer.... how the hell did they make this? Like.. what were they thinking using this drum pattern.. The chords.. it's almost magic. 🤣 before any vocals were laid this track was a HIT...
This is one of those jams that everytime hear it it’s still like hearing it for the first time...every single time..gives me the chills and never gets old..
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❤
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 !
I agree, the beautiful medley "Jucy" by Mtumie sounds so gerious, I wish that I was with the beautiful band... Love Cecil, Class of 93" Dermott High School, Arkansas...
I was 13 must've been a freak because this music combined with basement house parties brought out the wild animals.. I miss the days of slow dancing up against the wall.

Blige, Teddy Pendergrass and Inner City etc. !
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 !!!!
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,

Still listening in 2024❤. I remember my Dad use to have the cassette tape to this song back in the 80s .😊🎵
Lkki😊😊😊
Did he let his tape rock until his tape pop?
I was stationed in Hanau , Germany in the Army in 1983 when this Jam came out! When it was played at the club, the part when she says “I’ll be your Lollipop, you can lick me everywhere 🎶“! Everyone would go wild! 😅😂 Still a classic in 2024!
Miss the 80’s! 🥲
❤
Old school jams never lose there touch, brings back disco memories, get your back up off the wall!
Twenty one OK right .😇
My jam yes😝
Not at all
deep appreciation for this track/sound ... I’d never be able to yell “IT WAS ALL A DREAM ...” if not for “Juicy”
Pure unadulterated talent. Love from Nobekaw, Ghana 🇬🇭 2k23 and beyond
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
Excellent vocals coming from the lady in the group. Just love this song, its REAL music.... so rare these days.❤
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.
Thanks for the info, I will definitely check it out...Blessings to you my brother 😊
Well said 👏 👌
isn't she something
Who else is still jamming to this in 2020 ??
Ofc the greats live forever
B4 biggie. They put this on top of his best song. I was in college, at Columbia University. yet born on Fulton street.
Jamming it right in my Dodge Challenger “juicy

Wishing you many more healthy and happy years.
No booties out, twerking or cursing just good ole fashion baby making music!
RIP James Mtume and Big up to Tawatha Agee. On my very first trip to NY city I saw this band perform as this song was just released, sweet memories 😊
Lucky you 👍🤩 I would love to see them back then. 😃 or anytime. The ones who are still here that is.
Still bumping this in 2020....
Silky smooth

Mad crazy how 2020 sounds like we are in the futuristic future advertised to us as kids but in reality... Its not so bad and not so great lmao
We're you from
You can't deny the production on this song. A classic
Rest in power James Mtume.. The soundtrack of my early years and the golden era of hip hop
Fantastic bassline and soaring vocals that give one goose bumps! Long live the funk!
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!
Most under rated and under appreciated song in history.
....juiceaaaaaaaah
Are you nuts> what have you been smoking??
There's nothing underrated about this song. Everyone gives it the appreciation it deserves.
I don't think so or it wouldn't have been sampled so much...Biggie Smalls for example
No it wasn't 🙄
This was playing the first time I drove through the Ft Pitt Tunnel into Pittsburgh. The city was all lit up. I can still see it
2023 and I'm still listening to this classic. R.I.P., Mr. Mtume!!!
Same here
Same ❤❤❤
Till I 'll leave the surface of the Earth, I won't stop loving "Juicy"

Released July 29,1983. In fact, Hurricane Alicia made landfall while the song was racing up the charts.
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.
No you didn't kick your nephew out the car! I needed that laugh
