Keri ........ Stokleys vocals after the “Boom boom chicka boom boom” is what set it OFF!!! PURE GENIUS!!!!! Love it .... thank you- I’m a Mint Head for life!!
Stokley's voice on that part reminds me of an airplane ascending into the sky. I know that sounds weird. I just love that part of the song and when he sings "thiiiis feeling is the one thing" OMG!!!! Gives me chills
Was one of my favorites but "So Fine" will always be one of the top Mint Condition song for me Man between the dynamics, Stokely's vocals and the guitar work and the interplay between the two, which definitely blew me away, I used to sit there and get lost in that song over and over
Agreed! I know my boyfriend gets sick of me playing it but he knows why. Hell.. SO FINE is always dedicated to him. The most beautiful man I’ve ever seen.
@@deonnadyson Great! Stokely's voice has got better with time and all the guys look good. Jeffrey was nice and humble as he autographed my CD. 6/12/2021
The performance of this song on Apollo. Y'all were TRULY MINT CONDITION. Love this music for life. Glad you all stuck together so long as a band. Love you guys. Stokley still sounds the same in 2000, Nothing left to say. Oh My
*This* is a breakdown of why Mint Condition and you have been such an inspiration. Really a beautiful and indelible mark on MUSIC as a whole. Timeless, versatile, boundlessly authentic and expressive.
HANDS DOWN THIS IS THE SONG THAT DID IT FOR ME. THE IS THE SONG THAT MADE ME A MINT CONDITION FAN. “FROM THE MINT FACTORY” WAS THE FIRST CD I EVER BOUGHT. KERI, THANK U GUYS.
There is always that one song that brings that nostalgic feeling that takes you back to your childhood. For me it's this song! Everytime I hear this song I'm in middle school again, harmonizing with my cousin in the court yard trying to do this song justice with our little 12 yr old 2 part harmony 😂 We did alright tho! 😊
I have had this song on repeat for 4 days straight! Definitely my favorite Mint Condition tune. We really miss you guys. My 3 young nephews are also crazy about this song. Thanks Keri for sharing this.
WOW 🤩 This was awesome to learn how the song come to life!! I can only imagine having Stevie walk in the room singing my song !!!🤩This is definitely epic to me!!! #Mintcondition 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'm so mad I didn't grow up in that era. Instead I was born right after y'all got signed. I was born in March of 1990. But I'm also so mad that y'all haven't gotten more recognition. You guys music always gives me chills and speaks to my soul. It moves me! The fact that you guys are actual musicians still is mind blowing........ God made you guys a band on purpose. I'm grateful for y'all. Period. Lol my daddy is y'all's age I believe. So of course he's the one that got me hip...... But the 90's in general was just an era that's unforgettable that I just can't seem to let go of!😩 My son even love y'all's music. He's only 9...... Anyway...... Love and Blessings to anyone who reads this. Sincerely, "A woman who wishes she had a time machine"😂
This is one of my favorite songs! I was in 5th grade when it came out & I sang this accapella in music class for a project. I sounded NOTHING like Stokley because I was so nervous but this joint STILL goes hard so many years later!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Since October, I have listened to If you Love me and So fine and You send me swinging multiple times everyday!!! Each time I listen, I hear something different! AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGG!!!! Thank you Keri ans MC! I LOVEEEEEEEEE that they are a band first and then add the lyrics. I’m studying them as if I’m a musician. I’m NOT, music 🎶 just hits my SOUL!!!
U SEND ME SWANGIN' IS ONE OF THE GREATEST BALLADS OF ALLLLLLLL TIIIIIIIIIME!!!!!!!!! JUST AS GOOD AS BREAKIN' MY HEART AKA PRETTY BROWN EYES.....KERI IS FIRE ON KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!
Chill bumps just thinking about this joint. Pure Magic. I can't believe they've never gone Platinum. It's literally criminal. "The Heat" By TB and Keri was sonically innovative.
Would love for you to hear some cuts from my bands upcoming project still in production but it clear the influence on there!! As soon as everything is complete will kick to you on here and instagram blessings man
90s were a crazy time, gangster rap and lots of raunchy stuff going on. Mint condition was a great balance ❤ they were and are cream of the crop. Thankful to be able to experience this era that was just about the last to do it. Authentic and mucho talent
I played this song and album till I broke the cassette tape. Bought every Mint album that ever came out. Even the cassette singles when they had A and B sides with the remixes. Lol
This was incredible. I love hearing about the intricacies of how a song was created and the breakdown of the process. Mint Condition is one of my favorite bands.
Been grooving on Mint Condition since the beginning. My favorite band plays real instruments, has killer vocals and a class about them not seen to much then and now. Grateful I got to see you folks once and got a few pics with you all. Please come back and let today's Gen see class and talent. Please for me...a Mint-E for life.
Keri thanks for these great videos. Any chance you'll make a breakdown video of the epic synth solo in Mint Condition "On And On"? Asking for a keybaordist friend :)
you guys were/are amazing musicians...why aren't you doing anything together? I know people grow and change but you left fans wanting more! I really miss this band!
@jackie d, The reason Mint Condition broke up was due to Toni Braxton & Keri Lewis getting married. Keri fell hard for Toni & pretty much told the members of Mint Condition, "Peace Out!"
Awesome...Man what always did it for me with this song in addition to the vocals was the chord progressions..Regarding y’alls intros I loved the intro of What Kind of Man (you on steel drums) and I liked the intro on underrated Change Your Mind..Oh lastly Sam Cooke..the greatest R&B singer ever.. and please do Stevie’s Super Women lol
I really enjoyed this video. This took me back in my 20s. What a fun time for music and dating. I dated a guy that tasted something good in a restaurant and referenced the song, Swinging. When we tasted something good back in the day, we would say it was swinging. Glad you guys had a chance to meet Stevie Wonder. I missed him at a prayer meeting he had with my old Pastor almost 10 years ago. He was going to surprise us and I missed it.
I was too young to know back then who you were but after hearing stokley in you will know black men united. I looked him up to find that he is singer in a band Mint condition.... wow
Great channel. I really enjoy the breakdown of the songs. You should also do it for the songs you produced on Toni's albums. A lot of underrated gems. Much success for your channel
I'm from Baltimore we really love you guys here it's a lot of really talented artists here that's unknown in love you guys hope I get a chance to talk to you guys one day
The fact that he was 20... and wrote this song... shows how gifted he is...
Absolutely
Keri ........ Stokleys vocals after the “Boom boom chicka boom boom” is what set it OFF!!!
PURE GENIUS!!!!! Love it .... thank you- I’m a Mint Head for life!!

This was my favorite mint song. The chords and melody hit me in a special way. Thanks to Keri.
Nothing but facts!

"if you love me" is such a phenomenal song... the lyrics and Stokley's voice🔥🔥🔥
Gotta do that one next
Agreed! I know my boyfriend gets sick of me playing it but he knows why. Hell.. SO FINE is always dedicated to him. The most beautiful man I’ve ever seen.
Yes!! And the spanish remix is spellbounding!!!!
Keri, plsssss, in future episodes, do more segments about the MC tracks. You really don’t know how much MC is missed !!!
I totally agree with you. Keri you need to breakdown the MC songs. So so many classics. MC deserves more shine. I am DIE HARD MC Fan!
Mint is the last r&b band... so glad I got to meet them on 2016/2017 new years weekend.
I met Jeffrey Allen, saxophonist in 2010.

This song was #EPIC‼️

There will * NEVER* BE ANOTHER BAND' LIKE { MINT CONDICION}!!
The way You Send Me Swingin sounds at the beginning on the keyboard is fire. I kept replaying that part of the video over and over.
He’s so smooth and intelligent. I see why Toni fell for him 🥰
HANDS DOWN THIS IS THE SONG THAT DID IT FOR ME. THE IS THE SONG THAT MADE ME A MINT CONDITION FAN. “FROM THE MINT FACTORY” WAS THE FIRST CD I EVER BOUGHT. KERI, THANK U GUYS.

Best 90’s Band Ever 👍🏾

They had some of the best intros. They knew how to draw you into the song. Love them ♥️✨. You can hear their influences so much in their music.
Love this song 🥺😍
It would be awesome if Mint Condition could reunite and do a tour with KERI LEWIS and CHRIS "DADDY" DAVE! Make it happen ya'll!😀
This Brother is super gifted. And cool too! 💪🏾
Best R&B song of all time. This video is perfect!
Amazing. My favorite Mint Condition song. I love hearing writers and artists tell the stories of how songs came to be. Love it!!!!!
Just amazing 😍😍

Still rock in this song in 2024. This is a great song that has staying power.
Good video...this was my #1 slow jam of 1994, let alone the 90s! 👍🏿😁🎶🎵
When Keri Left, Mint Condition lost their sound. Keri was the integral piece for their commercial success
Stokley always snappin 😮❤❤
Yes, one of my favorites from them. Stokely's vocals, yes.......amazing!! His break down in the song......never gets old!!
I love this song. Yeah, that breakdown was lit.
Chill bumps just thinking about this joint. Pure Magic. I can't believe they've never gone Platinum. It's literally criminal. "The Heat" By TB and Keri was sonically innovative.
Man you influenced my song writing 1/6 of THE GOATs FOR SURE
Definitely missing your signature on my autograph Mint Basses

Bless the 90s Thanks you

My wedding song 💕
Keri thanks for these great videos. Any chance you'll make a breakdown video of the epic synth solo in Mint Condition "On And On"? Asking for a keybaordist friend :)
This takes me back to my senior year in high school...one of my all time favorites a straight classic

The art of musical composition is underrated nowadays. A lot of thought and talent goes into crafting a timeless classic.
Keri,The Dynamic Duo thoroughly enjoyed this. We hope you would share more stories with us in our FlyteTyme Innerview series
An incredible jam that I constantly rock to this day! Awesome group with incredible timeless music!
