Its unbelievable that she wasn't given the airplay she deserves, this song is proof that she's got what it takes. Sadly it has more to do with who's producing and backing an artist opposed to it depending on actual talent, and this is yet another example. At least we the people know she's got it and thankfully we can enjoy what she's got We love you Danielle♥️
They prefer to stay behind the scenes especially Gregg Alexander. This is his song and you can tell that Danielle Brisebois is a female version of Gregg so I say. lol OG from the Philippines
Beautiful. Great voice. 1-10, a solid 7, 7 1/2 !! Why not her ? Simple. Spice Girls. Sarah McLaughlin. Meredith Brooks. Paula Cole. And that one woman juggernaut, Alanis Morissette !!!! 3 years later ? YES !! 3 years earlier ? YES !! Market was flooded....
@@michaelking2582 Respectable points. I would disagree about one thing though. She had been trying to put an album out going back to at least 1987 with no takers. Three years later you run into the holy trinity of B Spears, Backstreet Boys and N'Sync and Danielle wasn't going to be invited to that party which is why I suspect RCA decided to pass on Portable Life. In her case I'm not sure if there was ever a time she was going to accepted. Can you imagine being a suit at Sony and some little A&R person walks into your office and tells you they wanna sign the former Stephanie Mills one of the most disliked characters in the history of TV blamed for the perceived All In The Family shark jump? With radio overrun with angry rap and urban in 1994 it was an amazing accomplishment she even landed a record deal.
Great talent with or without New Radicals. Love her music. Crawling, favorite song. Can't get over the fact that she only has three CDs. Perhaps talent no a plus in the music arena.
I was looking to get info on you and see you became a recording artist. That's great. I really loved you on All In the Family and Archie Bunkers Place. It's nice to see child actors all grown up. Bye.
Rosa, yes.... I love this. I'll be true won't talk to ... Snakes by trees.... Wish I could sing like this.... Power , alluring and timeless True beauty never fades, she is Classic.
Check out Stephanie! Hotrodding a 1969 Mercury Cougar, skateboarding, and has a good voice too. This song it seems previewed the New Radicals that were to come out with their debut a couple of years later, which Danielle was a band member.
New Radicals were never a band, just a moniker for Gregory Aiuto's 3rd solo effort, where he was accompanied by some relatively consistent session players that varied by song of which Danielle was the most frequent contributor appearing on 5 of the projects 12 tracks.
I found her first cd the other day and listened to it, and I thought these are some damn good songs! She should have been a pop star! I'm not surprised she became a successful songwriter though! Thanks for posting the video. What a nice surprise on this Saturday morning!!!!!
This faced headwinds on two fronts right outta the box. CHR radio was overrun with R&B and rap so 1995 was the worst time to come out with a pop record. Epic tried to work it to Modern Rock, but the 2nd issue arose. Enough people at that time still remembered her as cute, sweet Stephanie Mills, she wasn't gotta fit in a format that was playing Pearl Jam and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, regardless of how trashy she tried to make herself look.
@@lonewolf261000 Epic didn't know what to do with her. After awful first single What If God Fell From the Sky flopped, this was supposed to be the 2nd single. But it was pulled at the last minute for Gimme Little Sign. I don't know if they felt a remake was a safer choice, but it didn't catch on either. By the time this gem finally dropped, radio was tuned out after two bad strikes.
@@goforho7257 I admit What if God fell from the sky wasn’t her best song. But it did show case her powerful voice. But Obviously it didn’t matter. It’s strange too because when her producer and fellow song writer Gregg Alexander decided to make his own music with the new radicals he found success almost immediately. The industry just wasn’t fair at all to briseboise.
She did as an integral member of the New Radicals and more recently as a highly respected songwriter for other artists like her fellow band mate in the Radicals Gregg Alexander.
Being a former child actress carries a stigma. I think she was hoping to escape it by going into music. But it was probably even more of a career killer there than if she had just stayed in acting. She was never going to be taken seriously in music.
Here we see a once beautiful young lady that at one time looked headed for major stardom in total shark jump mode desperately trying to get back into the spotlight. Pretty sad especially considering the album itself was actually good. Danielle was like the girl that was super cute and popular in high school coming back a decade later still trying to be that girl while everyone else has moved on with their life. At least when she was younger, she had such an incredible voice. It's hard to believe that much power could come effortlessly from such a petite package. But by this time, her voice was still okay, but her singing sounded forced and artificial.
In an Aug 1981 TV Guide interview, the Producer of Archie Bunker's Place said they were bringing in an older girl because Danielle was not ready for a bigger role. That must have really done a number on her because she spent the next 20 years in vein crying out for people to notice her. Trying to prove she was no longer 'lil Stephie Mills and all grown up via risque photos, topless movies, disgusting videos like this, and innuendo filled album titles. This video was a desperate plea for attention. It's a shame because it distracts from the song which is actually very good.
@@clurkroberts2650 In retrospect having 26 year old Danielle dressed up like a 16 year old hormonal punk rocker wasn't the best decision while trying to push her as a serious music artist. She must have gotten a lot of bad advice from the people around her.
Great song,bravo Danielle Brisebois 👏👏👏👍
New Radicals forever and this one here especially.
Its unbelievable that she wasn't given the airplay she deserves, this song is proof that she's got what it takes.

😊😊😊😊¹11100¹
She's beautiful
Amazing voice and song! Little Stephanie from All in the Family, I never knew she was such a rockstar ❤
Quite possibly the best modern pop song no one heard. Her scream at 2:57 is one of my favorite of life's wondrous pleasures.
pink before pink
In 2022...almost 2023...and this album is STILL an AMAZING gem!❣!
Damn she’s great singer!!
How her voice alone didn't catapult her into the entertainment stratosphere is a mystery for the ages.
Agreed. SHE should be known and have Platinum damn Albums on her Wall.
Shame, That.

@@lobohobo9218 Plus she could never shake the "child TV star" stigma. Alot of times, that's a death sentence.
What a Killer Voice...Gotta love this!!
At first i thought this was gonna be some crappy Pop song, but the longer i lisened the more i saw its uniqueness, Danielle's outfit rocks too.
I've always loved this album!!!!
Great talent with or without New Radicals. Love her music. Crawling, favorite song. Can't get over the fact that she only has three CDs. Perhaps talent no a plus in the music arena.
Discovered in 2023 and dall'ing in love with It !❤ I think that she's fantastic!
So catchy! Well written- pop meets performance!! Great tune.
Love me some Danielle! 💕🥀💕
Gregg Alexander
This is the first time I've seen this?! What the hell is wrong with radio?!
Radios don't show pictures very well.
I was looking to get info on you and see you became a recording artist. That's great. I really loved you on All In the Family and Archie Bunkers Place. It's nice to see child actors all grown up. Bye.
I love her and this song. I go crazy listening to this... :-)
Rosa, yes.... I love this.
I'll be true won't talk to ...
Snakes by trees....
Wish I could sing like this....
Power , alluring and timeless

come on mad max .
oh yes .
Al Grainer tap dance school in Manhattan
Stephen.. Another cool rocker from Danielle. A sexy video.
2:30~2:55 the background music so well written
Gregg alexanders sound!!
I always thought she looked like Pink (I didn't discover her music until I knew her from New Radicals). Please, and love to you Danielle :D
I will theorize that Pink stole her style and went onto taking credit for her authenticity just like how every rapper tried to copy 2pac.
@@jakeytedesco3003 - It's possible. I see how we (as a human race) seem to copy each other so it's not necessarily a bad thing.
I seriously doubt Pink has ever heard of this artist or seen this obscure video.
How the hell did she not make it 😳😳

@@bornoncentral4485 It’s so sad. You’d think her talent would force her to be noticed and played on every station but I guess not smh

Stephanie.
Lene from Aqua resembled Danielle here
Her look reminds me of Halsey
Sounds just like Carlisle's Heaven Is A Place On Earth...
You could so tell gregg alexander wrote this song lol
It sounds a lot like the New Radicals "Brainwashed.." album that was to come, doesn't it?

Lame director pushing his agenda… although I really love this song.. another video would have done the song justice
@@clurkroberts2650 In retrospect having 26 year old Danielle dressed up like a 16 year old hormonal punk rocker wasn't the best decision while trying to push her as a serious music artist. She must have gotten a lot of bad advice from the people around her.
@@jackmcgee5331 agreed. I stumbled on this after watching New Radicals music videos. I really like the mix and performance on this track
