32 years ago today Mel Died at the Tender age of 23 years old. Think about it 23 years old, and she still Lived long enough to leave her mark on the World Forever. S.I.P Queen 🙏🏾! BIG UP KIM EVERYTIME 👊🏾
I still remember the news about Mel's cancer like it was yesterday. It was truly shocking and gut wrenching. What we felt back then was particularly awful as well, because back then cancer treatments weren't as advanced as nowadays. So it felt like she'd been given a death sentence. I was gutted, as were my friends. 23 is shocking.
And we’re still searching for and listening to her/their music today! This is one of my favourite tracks on their album! (Which I still have on cassette tape 🥴) X
Just watched the SAW documentary on Ch5. So moving to witness Pete Waterman in tears when describing the recording of this song. After all these years and the man has lost a child himself and he is still affected by Mel's death. Kim was as stoic as ever. I loved Mel and Kim, their talent, their outfits and the choreography ❤️
Mel's confidence and natural charm remains truly inspirational. Kim is equally beautiful and talented and the way she has carried on with strength and grace is absolutely divine. A remarkable duo. Keep rocking Mel.🕊
Timeless music which changed the face of pop. So many great memories of my youth are triggered by songs like this. God bless Mel & Kim and stock aitken & waterman.
For so many years i though the best songs of mel&kim were respectable and showing out, but this one is even better. They sing the title in a very touching way.
I am a teenager of the 80s, this video reminds me so many memories when I was on vacation at the house of my grandparents in Liège, Belgium. I was happy to discover a new video of Mel & Kim and at the same time we felt that something was coming to an end … ps: the blonde dancer in the video is called Jane Sturdy, despite the years that have passed, she remained a beautiful woman. RIP Mel, keep on rocking Kim. Cheers. Dony
Looking at this in 2019. I still love this song so much. I'm tearing up because I'm realizing Mel was probably too ill to make a video for this. RIP Melanie!
Even after all those years the beat kicks in straight from the beginning, and be honest nobody beats Mel & Kim dancing moves.. :-) For me the all time best Mel Kim song!!
Back to the 1980s and back to my 20s... very happy days. Loved Mel and Kim. Two English cockney girls who became huge stars, yet remained very down to earth and likeable. Mel's death was a stunning tragedy - but she left some lovely memories behind - and I speak as just a fan of the duo. I'm sure her family and friends feel blessed that she was in their lives.
Im American, I remember when this came out, I thought; what a great song but what a dumb video. I was probably in Eighth grade. The funny thing is 25 + years on several things have changed. I realize the one sister was too ill to make vid (or had passed on :/ ) and the other one was prob too broken to even think about being in a vid. 2ndly having lived and had my heart broken, whoever directed the vid came up w an amazing story to go w the song. Being dumped is like being at a party w someone you love and having them leave you and they continue to party but you’re now on your own. Amazing actualization of the song and the tribute pic of them at the end was great touch. My hats off to whoever put this together. It took us 20 + years of being delayed but we finally got it! 👍🏾 Great song Great singers Great Video
It’s 2021 and I was just thinking about Mel and Kim esp Mel and that it’s 31 years since she passed. Incredibly sad to this day. This is their best song by far ❤️
Thank you Kim for this Anthem. You need to go through something so bad in life to appreciate the meaning of the words . We all have our own interpretations. Alls well now for me , I look back , But now to the future ❤️thank you 😘
Fabulous video, Stock Aitkin Waterman Hall Mark sound, the fashion sense was spot on, I'm 66 years old now and I still wear jeans and T-shirts. Mel and Kim are just so good, we love you.
Great song. Would have been great to lead their 2nd album. Kim was good, but would have been amazing with her little Sis. RIP MEL. you are missed beautiful girl ❤️
Love this song, Mel and Kim were just getting starting out, they would got all those Kylie songs had they not had such cruel luck.The world was at their feet, cherish every day, life moves fast when you get older.
I normally hated Stock, Aitken and Waterman's commercial, mass-marketed pop sound. Even as a kid at primary school I thought most of their stuff (e.g. Big Fun, Rick Astley, Jason & Kylie etc.) to be a load of crap. I'll admit though that they did produce a number of tunes that were undeniably catchy and certainly deserved to be hits. This is one of them. Still sounds just as good today as it did when I was 10 years old!
It was strange at the time, we didnt know why they weren't in the video. But let's look past the heartbreak and appreciate the great song and the fact we still listen to it so many years later xxx
I was reading about the girls the other day, and think it said that sadly Mel wasn't well enough to make a video for the song. Love this song, but always feel some sadness when I hear it. x
I felt something was strange but couldn't say what with that video & the fact we didn't see mel & kim ; today when I watch it again, I thought "maybe mel was dead yet" but no, not exactly, she was sick yet ; terrible
Sad how this is only 1988 and not yet two years since they broke through yet Mel was dying FFS. That's the reason they don't actually appear in this video cos she didn't want anyone to know. Poor girl. Really sad story. RIP Mel xx
I don't think It's that they didn't want anyone to know, In an interview with the late sir Terry Wogan around this time Mel said she was using walking sticks. She was unable to dance. You could see that like my own mother, who died of cancer too, that her face was blown up from being prescribed steroid based medication as part of her treatment. You can find the interview on Wogan here on you tube
@@Fcutdlady I remember watching that wogan show you are talking about Mel looked swollen . I thought I was only one who watched it . I was only 9 or 10 then
I remember WJLB in Detroit used to play a few of their songs 🎵 I cried when I found our about Mel passing..gone way to soon I think thus group would've went on to have even more success
Dude I absolutely Love Mel and Kim! I first sort of discovered them 2 Years ago and now I'm glued! Having known what happened to Mel I really Miss Her! I am fascinated and 2ant to know more about them! I'm awestruck by them! Maybe if I can handle it Meet Kim one day! 🙏

Yes it's so very sad, but her music still lives on, as I often listen to Mel and Kim like all of their records they recorded. 💕😊

Glad I grew up around Mel & Kim era, still love them to this day. Such Style Icons ❤
silly comment when they're not even in this video

Music like this we took for granted in the 80's as kids but listening back to it now, you now know it's a masterpiece.
Pete had me in tears talking about Mel
I just watched it myself, very moving.
9 April 2024 and i still love them. Rest in love Mel. ❤❤
I'm 55 now, I wouldve been 18/19 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Still absolutely love this song. Sounds as great today as it did back then 👌
In Loving memory of Mel, she was so pretty & kind...
I read today that Mel signed herself out of hospital to record vocals for this. Really sad. Great song.
@@WillieWagglestick she was born to become a star. May her soul be blessed and rest in power❤️
@@WillieWagglestick it's tragedy
So true Mel was beautiful 😍
This was their best song.I cannot believe how young Mel was.
Exactly. 23 years old and she died. Shockingly she had cancer at aged 18 and recovered. Life is terribly unfair. Beautiful sisters ❤️❤️
@@tashan113 she obviously didn't recover did she if she ended up dying from it

This song has helped me through so much. Bless. What a song.

You sure? Cant find anything on Jane
Such a good song. Great lyrics, production and melody. S.A.W. and Mel and Kim at their best.
Agreed! X
Looking at this in 2019. I still love this song so much. I'm tearing up because I'm realizing Mel was probably too ill to make a video for this. RIP Melanie!
I just realised that now too. I loved them so much as a kid. And they were so *good*
tmontyb10011 Amen 😭😭😭
I forgot she was suffering badly with cancer by this time. Probably why this was one of the last ever songs they released
Rest in Peace Mel..
I wondered why they were not in the video.
This song never get old. Listen to it at least twice a month, when i want to get happy!
THANKS MEL & KIM GREAT CATCHY POP SONGS! MEL YOU SURE LEFT YOUR MARK GIRL R.I.P X X
Even after all those years the beat kicks in straight from the beginning, and be honest nobody beats Mel & Kim dancing moves.. :-) For me the all time best Mel Kim song!!
2022 still loving it from my high school days in the 80s. RIP Mel. A legend 🙏
Absolute belter of a tune. They play this on heart 80s now and again it gets me going every time at work.
I love Mels laugh at the end classic we miss you Mel 😘

I saw Pete Waterman cry on the telly on Saturday night in a documentary about his music empire when he talked about this song and Mel Appleby
Anyone Representing in 2020? RIP Mel - Thanks for the music!!
80's fashion was the best
They wore it well.
denim denim and more denim?
@Raymond Douglas Well, nowadays there are a lot of 80s trends that have resurfaced...eg high waisted jeans/shorts, oversized jackets etc...
LOVE this song R,I.P Mel
Wasn't enough songs from Mel & Kim!
I know we could do with a few More! 👏
Imagine if they had gone on and Mel Had Lived! They could easily stood the test of time! ⚡
One of my all time favourite songs
i miss mel RIP mel appleby 1966 - 1990 x

Same age I was 10 in 1988 too .....good music and memories
PrimeM92 They made fabulous music which is why you still hear SAW hits all the time , must be your taste in music
I like indeed Dead or Alive, "Youthquake" and other albums produced by SA&W
SAW were music genius. I get that they weren't to everyone's taste but that's music. Their success cannot be denied.
@@mehuejael Youthquake is quite possibly SAW's magnum opus. It's fantastic from start to finish!

Heading towards 2023 and this is still a banger! I’ll be 85 and still 2 stepping to this in my slippers.
Reminds me of the old days...I came second in a school competition.., 💃🥈🎤
I may have seen that
the best thing about the video is mel's final laugh
is that Mel's laugh at the end? I hope so!
@@skygazer6898 certainly
@@sergiogiappi4313 she sure had a filthy laugh on her.....
WOW!, I heard this on Heart 80's & I had forgot about it!,
It is so Stock, Aitken & Waterman but I Love it!.
SAW on the production duty! cracking track
indeed and with pete hammond on mixing for PWL
This song always leaves me a little sad
still a classic song from a bygone age when pop was king
When music was really awesome, really catchy, and really talented people. No filth, no bad language. Music For all ages...
Loved Mel & Kim they were great dancers singers and overall performers! Always wanna dance wen I listen to their songs!
nearly 30 years since mels death I remember I was in my 1st year of high school and we all cried. great song though xx
I love this video.
Many respekts to you all for lovely work
Their Best Song. R.I.P Mel❤🙏
These girls appeared on the final episode of the Tube...that's enough credibility for me!
