So what's stopping you from being a kid today? No need to cry. Age is just a number. Put on your 80s CDs and dance around your house. Call up your teen friends and spend the whole day at the mall.
What a quality! After all these years, the same guys in very good shape and style, with awesome voices! Would be nice to see more 80’s groups in these conditions. The choices to do everything live, including the drums… Absolutely killer!
This song is the perfect example of producers Jam and Lewis's famous "broken chords" style of writing. The next best example is Tender Love by The Force MD's. Also covered by Kenny Thomas.
Jam was on Questlove’s podcast a couple years ago. It was in 3 parts. Very long in depth interview about him and Terry’s incredible career. There was an interesting back story about the evolution of this great song.
1. Phil and the lovely Ladies were spectacular!!! 👏👏👏 2. The solo percussion and keyboard were simply stunning! By themselves I could easily be transported to the enviable 80s musical scene 💕💕💕
Amazing. I love your music and... you probably know yourself. I'm speechless - that's all I can say. All the best Man. I am just Wojciech Ślufirski from Poland - a big fan of yours 😊
Wow they sound fantastic and all look fantastic. Also the keyboard player and drummer sound so amazing towards the end. Fantastic group and song ever in this current present day. The women are still gorgeous and still sound so damn sexy with those voice's.
Joanne Catherall with the darker hair. Susan Ann Sulley with the blonde hair, both whom Philip saw at a club in Sheffield. Philip was originally just trying to find another singer and he was in a hurry. It just so happens that he ran into them both at the exact same time, and got both of them to join the band. That's like hitting the proverbial jackpot.
Seven more nights to see Joanne, Susanne & Phil in Antwerp (Belgium). Seven Days for dancing & singing at home in Rotterdam (The Netherlands) and then off we go... NOTHING beats the REAL THING!!!!
Human League in 2022 is vastly superior to the garbage like Lizzo Meg The Stallion and Cardi B that exists today. Human League reigns supreme forever ❤️
So funny how catherine has no rhythm n always seems a little outta and always has been, her m.o. iconic , vocals from all always on point tho, undeniably again iconic all three..just works, catherines quirks, jos moves, phils voice...together absolutely legendary, music icons n i love em n av done so since i was 12 years old n im 56 next ❤ xxxxx
Joanne and Susan Ann are NOT background singers, they have been full band members since they were 17. I suggest you watch the original "Don't you want me" video. Yes, that's them!
Makes want to cry. I miss being a kid in the 80s😤

PHIL, STILL A GREAT VOICE.
Damn, his voice sounds just the same. That is rare with a lot of these 80s artiste.
What a quality! After all these years, the same guys in very good shape and style, with awesome voices! Would be nice to see more 80’s groups in these conditions. The choices to do everything live, including the drums… Absolutely killer!
PHILS VOICE IS SENSATIONAL.
One of my favorites of the 80s!
WOW, they sound absolutely brilliant!
I THINK THE WORD IS "AWESOME".
That rhythm and drum beat, gotta give the drummer credit too. It ain’t easy.
I know that's as hard as trying to play that drum beat in the song 777 9311.
He is replicating an 808 drum beat live!! Amazing!🎉
Quality voice Phil

Have you noticed they are in the same key?

Almost all Jam/Lewis are in Lab major/ Reb Lydian : sos band...alexander 0'neil...janet jackson...ecc....the same chords with different melodies.
You forgot "Can You Stand the Rain" by New Edition. Sounds just like "Only Human"
Still sound good living legends 💯.. make America 80's again !!!
Loved the energy from the audience too! Wish I was around in the 80s
I was born in the 80s

My favorite part of the song is the last couple of minutes with the drums and keyboards
They still sing is so beautifully to this present day. They still sound so amazing. Those women have such sexy voices.

1. Phil and the lovely Ladies were spectacular!!! 👏👏👏
2. The solo percussion and keyboard were simply stunning! By themselves I could easily be transported to the enviable 80s musical scene 💕💕💕
Any posibility of a music played at the background? I mean do the drum and keyboard produced everything i hear? Sorry for bad english😅

Humans, born to make mistakes......
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Dude is 67
O baterista fudido fazendo igual no original 😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The background singers are ok. However, they don't hold a candle to the original studio background singer Lisa kieth.
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis same guys who did Jane Jackson’s first album wrote and arranged the song for them.
Joanne and Susan Ann are NOT background singers, they have been full band members since they were 17. I suggest you watch the original "Don't you want me" video. Yes, that's them!
@@stephengrimmer35 they don't sing background vocals on the original song, lisa keith does.
I loveeeeee this song 👏👍 Human League forever 💪
Retro 1980s
