This interview is not from 1986. This interview is from 1987. Pebbles debut album came out in November of 1987 so they certainly won't be talking about a debut album in 86. She had a single in the summer of 87 called love/hate which was featured in the Beverly Hills cop 2 soundtrack. Gilfriend was released the following October as the lead single off her debut album in 87
Pebbles is so honest, it's hilarious. "I don't like acting, I don't dancing, I don't like modeling." Janet Jackson, for example, always gives user friendly and polished answers and comes off rather boring. Allegedly, she was only 22 years old at the time, but gives very adult answers and her energy level is low. Long day in the studio, perhaps.
"so honest" .... hilarious, indeed! Her entire career has been an exercise in 'hiding in plain sight.' She couldn't act or dance or model because she'd have to really expose her inner self. Sister Perri can never, EVER do that. She is ugly and rotten inside, as beautiful as she is outside. P.S. I have never seen the TLC movie; these are just things I have come to know over the years as an observer.
upoutmyfaceb0y I'm gonna defend Pebbs 2the end, my mom was/is quite beautiful, so I always get that pretty women arent ever taken seriously, folk think they just lay on their backs, or theyre mean untrustworthy villians, or somne crazy combo of both.? Why do people think that?, everybody beautiful outwardly isnt Alexis from Dynasty! Lol, just like All unattractive people arent all mean & stupid... btw, women need 2 quit hatin on each other when its a dude usually responsible 4 the discord.
@@cherylsaliens5451 ... Defend all you like. All you talk about is her "looks," and you filter the criticism leveled at her based on her physical beauty. But it's what's *inside* that counts. And you are obviously so shallow that you can't see that. Pebbles is a blatantly narcissistic predator who will use anyone to advance her wealth and standing. Ask any of the ex-husbands or musical acts or the current followers of her "evangelistic" efforts that she has used as ladders for that purpose. "Everyone is jealous of a pretty woman"...? lol... that is so small, sixth-grade, childish, and insubstantial... You need better priorities, chica. Put down the "Love and Hip-Hop" and expand your maturity.
@@cherylsaliens5451 i spoke on her outer beauty because she is undeniably beautiful. I cant speak to her inner beauty. Only those who actually knew/ know her personally can speak about her character and integrity.
This interview may have been filmed in 1986, but I'm thinking it was filmed in the spring of 1987 because of the cut-away video clips of the other artists. All those tracks ("I feel good all over" "looking for a new love") came out in the spring. Also, "Girlfriend" was added to Pebbles' album in 1987 as a last track. So, while her album had clearly not been released before this interview, it was probably nearing completion. Notice the version of "Do Me Right" is not the final mix that appears on the album.
This is November/December 1986 I figure, meaning she's just 22. She actually made the Mercedes Boy video well before this interview and then remixed it for the 7" and 12" releases.
One of the things that struck me about this video was when Pebbles said she didn't get much of any support from her family as far as her musical aspirations growing up. But I bet when her album became a big hit in the 1987-1988 period her family was coming from everywhere you could think of either asking for money, wanting to bask in her fame, and acting like they supported her musical aspirations from the jump.
Always had a big 'ol crush on Pebbles. Still do🥰 On another note did anyone recognize Hinton Battle? He was in the 5th season episode of Quantum Leap, Part 3 of the Evil Leaper. He was Zoey's replacement hologram known as Thames! (why'd they name him after a river in the UK?)
Was Miss McKissick's near neighbor in Oakland Lakeshore-Mandana Piedmont Oakland District. Love, Pebbles 💋. So Oakland Proud of our very own. Pebbles 🦩
Man, when you're just coming up as a recording artist it's hard work. And if these recording companies don't know your worth yet they either treat you like shit, work you hard, or they make sure they get a return on their investment in you as a new artist just in case you flop. Pebbles was a new artist on MCA when this video came out, so you can just imagine the stress she was under in pre-production and post production of her debut album.
lol!!!!!! Right..... it actually takes a very, very strong person to deal with a narcissist. Coming out on the other side of that tempers you like iron. Far from weak! I hope you never have to find out.
I kinda picked up on that too. Can you really blame him? She was so beautiful and was so fashionable. Why I would think any man of any nationality would find her desirable and attractive.
Agreed. He was feeling her out and she politely shut it down while also hiding her true relationship status (married!) when he asked her about a "beau".
11:45 was this show produced in Gardena, California around the time it originally aired? This looks like it was something possibly on public access cable television at the time... am I correct?
There's just something off about this woman. I can sense it in every interview. Don't get me wrong, she's stupid fine but there's something wrong here, vibe-wise.
Nakita Black, At the end of the day he wasn't her type and she was there to promote her upcoming album, discuss her past and present, and etc. I give him his props for stepping to her though. In life you don't always get what you want.
@@verablexitasap858 ... I've always said the same thing! Once you've had intimate experience with that personality disorder, you know it the second you see it! Good call.
His tone and the way he’s leaning into her is creepy. And she lost out on a lot of money not marketing her beauty!! Makeup, haircare, fashions, jewelry etc.
despite all the things were said of her with the movie and all, I still like Pebbles and I also admire her beauty as well.
She one of the most beautiful singers I’ve ever seen 😍😍😍
Pebbles is so gorgeous! I love that 80s sound so obsessed with it
She was absolutely beautifully drop dead GORGEOUS!!!!!
she sound like patrice rushen..

they need a documentary on her. I want to know more about her. she's super interesting.
wtf..how do i remember watching this back when i was in the 4th grade..crazy!
What a treat to see her sing "Take Your Time" in the studio ;) One of my all time Pebbles favourite songs ;)
That music is timeless dope! Michael Cooper wrote "Do Me Right"???😀
Pebbles is so honest, it's hilarious. "I don't like acting, I don't dancing, I don't like modeling."

watch it

@@Tre404 did you see her interview with Wendy Williams? She dodged every question.
She seems almost annoyed with the interview
@@jasonsterling4129 I think she was nervous.
I dont know about her Inner beauty, but man she was drop dead gorgeous, and is still quite beautiful today.

was about to say the same thing ..prince you got that look jody whatley still a thrill and Atlantic Starr Always all came out in 1987
djtenn I agree. But I think the Prince "You got the look" video came out in Summer/Fall 1987.
You're 100% right! Didn't even notice the earlier clips, went straight to Pebbles' foine self...heh heh...but this was definitely 1987.
This is November/December 1986 I figure, meaning she's just 22. She actually made the Mercedes Boy video well before this interview and then remixed it for the 7" and 12" releases.
Pebbles love the studio after my own heart.
I love her hair.
I love this lady.
One of the things that struck me about this video was when Pebbles said she didn't get much of any support from her family as far as her musical aspirations growing up. But I bet when her album became a big hit in the 1987-1988 period her family was coming from everywhere you could think of either asking for money, wanting to bask in her fame, and acting like they supported her musical aspirations from the jump.
Definitely could sense some pain when she spoke on her family.

I love how Pebbles is reading what he's got on his cue cards.👀😂
Was Miss McKissick's near neighbor in Oakland Lakeshore-Mandana Piedmont Oakland District.
Love, Pebbles 💋.
So Oakland Proud of our very own. Pebbles 🦩
She has great taste in music.
But when music was fun and innocent
Did you hear that advice about keeping yourself something as a backup plan? sometimes you get the beauty and the brains 😉👍
pebbles is such a sweetheart although looks tired but sound sweet..
Man she never smiles!
Man, when you're just coming up as a recording artist it's hard work. And if these recording companies don't know your worth yet they either treat you like shit, work you hard, or they make sure they get a return on their investment in you as a new artist just in case you flop. Pebbles was a new artist on MCA when this video came out, so you can just imagine the stress she was under in pre-production and post production of her debut album.
She definitely has a producer's mindset.
OMG Hinton is so young here!! 😊
People here calling Pebbles scary and cold are weak. Pebbles is just a real ass chick that doesn't take crap from anybody.
lol!!!!!! Right..... it actually takes a very, very strong person to deal with a narcissist. Coming out on the other side of that tempers you like iron. Far from weak! I hope you never have to find out.
@@Tre404 do u Know her personally?
ok then
9:40 how good is that advise!
throwitinthebinUnt agreed. and true with anything you're pursuing
❤PEBBLES
RIP Todd Christensen
Is it me or there's chemistry between those two?
I think he had a lil crush on pebs!!
I kinda picked up on that too. Can you really blame him? She was so beautiful and was so fashionable. Why I would think any man of any nationality would find her desirable and attractive.
Agreed. He was feeling her out and she politely shut it down while also hiding her true relationship status (married!) when he asked her about a "beau".
Hes super creepy
Yeah, she was married to her latest producer ("Mercedes Boy") at the time, a very old dude named George Tobin. (Surprise! ...lol)
Who wouldn't? So gorgeous.
This is definitely 1987. The clip of Jody Watley's "Still A Thrill" confirms it.
11:45 was this show produced in Gardena, California around the time it originally aired? This looks like it was something possibly on public access cable television at the time... am I correct?
He tried to shoot his shot and got rejected...lol
He was leaning all into her, yet she was keeping it calm.
Yeah, I feel so uncomfortable for her because of his inappropriateness w/ her.
its not design for you to have!
Full Force get busy one time! Pebbles is brutally honest...
0:40 "can be *_'scribed_* in three words..." 🤦🏾♂
That was *_four_* words, Hinton. The producers did you dirty
There's just something off about this woman. I can sense it in every interview. Don't get me wrong, she's stupid fine but there's something wrong here, vibe-wise.
She had a been there done that vibe. Not easily impressed or flattered. She had strong feminine energy and knew how to wield her power at a young age.
Shout out to Kathy Sledge 👍🏾
He was trying to Mac her his voice all soft she was not feeling him at all 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nakita Black, At the end of the day he wasn't her type and she was there to promote her upcoming album, discuss her past and present, and etc. I give him his props for stepping to her though. In life you don't always get what you want.
Seemed like the men interviewers were always smitten with her; she's humble.
yea u kno he was trynna hit lol
she is so cold
She's a beautiful narcissist.
Yep. Snake eyes
@@verablexitasap858 ... I've always said the same thing! Once you've had intimate experience with that personality disorder, you know it the second you see it! Good call.
he tried it lol
Hinton Battle has more talent in his finger than the broad he is interviewing. Maybe she was just intimidated.
@Dani Kouakou
What does that make you? 🤔
She's giving me Beyoncé "work it out" teas
TrangPak2 beyonce wish she could look like that 😂
TrangPak2 both r Virgos
TrangPak2
Beyonce and her Beyhive aint got nearly half of much game as Pebbles
Pebbles got that SF bay area swag.
Town Bidness/ Oakland
PrettyPurpleful lmao
@@PrettyPurpleful man please Beyoncé is a bad woman. She looks just as good as pebbles & is far more talented.
she seems so irritated...
She always looks like that.....always. Scary
dkfeo he’s all up on her tho.. ugh
She abhors being questioned. Narcissists always do. She had a lot to hide, even in 1987.
Irritated cause shes tryna let him know hes too close to her. Talk about invading ur personal bubble.....yucky.
@@Tre404 true that and they deflect when confronted with the truth or put on the spot.
Did ur family support u? Nope!!
She’s blunt!!
Pebbily Pooh!
His tone and the way he’s leaning into her is creepy. And she lost out on a lot of money not marketing her beauty!! Makeup, haircare, fashions, jewelry etc.
What a freaking creep of an Interviewer. Shocking. Unbelievable.
Dang the interviewer is such a creep lol
he was prolly diggin her
Why is this joker sitting so close????
Ha Ha Ha!
I think he had a lil crush on pebs!!
