💫 Being human is a given. But keeping our humanity is a choice
The 80’s and 90’s were the best decades ever for music, such great times.
Straight facts 💯
You couldn't be more right! 👍 Too bad those days are gone, but we still have the tunes to jam to!
Don't forget about the late 70,s. groups like the commodores, barkays, Isley brothers, parliament were starting a musical funk explosion
As a fellow 80's baby these years were amazing, especially as a kid💯
Loved those days too
I was in my 20s when this came out in the 80s, and it was a magical time. I miss it so much
British group from Camden London - Back to life and Keep on Movin dropped in the summer of 89'....
and Islington, cousin went to school with jazzy b in hornsey
@@lynda3860 i knew these beauts.
Best summer ever and that break got used a million times by other artists
The white dude is Nellie Hooper... Massively brilliant producer
I I freakin love this song!! u brought me back
Me too
Don't miss their song "Keep On Movin'." It's even more beautiful than this one.
Totally agree
@@thefacultyoffunk it’s good but y’all crazy!! This song is it!!!!
@@joejohnson9024 I Totally agree with you-this song is WAY better than "Keeo On Movin'"
Will Smith danced to this song in the very first episode of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Yes it's from my era #80s and 90s ..this was an era of fashion the energy things were different ..they had a string of hits as well ...when music was music ..grear reaction video shared on my community tab @toosushi ..this was a vibe like no other ♥️🙏✌🌎
One of the best British groups of the 90s. Groundbreaking.
I played this song to death , and I still love it to this day ..
This came out in '89. The show with Steve Urkel was Family Matters, but I don't remember him playing piano. Great show though!
Brings back memories crusing through the city in the summer with this music pumping with friends having a good time. Wish artists today bought back tunes like this.
We all ran to the Dance Floor when this cut dropped!!! FIRE!!!
The acapella version of this song when the beat drops at the end used to make the club go "crazy"!🕺🏾💃🏾
Im 52 live in England and this song aswell as Keep on moving were huge in the clubs, open air clubs playing soul music! I miss the love ❤️ from back then! Chaka Khan and Karen Wheeler were HUGE
LOL can remember this the first time on MTV I was like ok this is different energy back ... I listen to any music that makes me feel something good inside those days are long gone !!!
I was lucky enough to see soul to soul live and let me tell you there were seats but nobody was sitting . We had such a good time
Soul II Soul pioneers of the British northern soul/ garage of the new decade
Pride of London,! Outstandingly beautiful song.I love, love it
This was released in the UK in 1989, in my 20s then, and this was the JAM !!!
90s kid here, this song played at every kids birthday party back then, good memories
Hey Sushi, firstly thanks for your reviews and hope all is well 😊. I can tell you as a (erm) younger fella, we all used to go to a club that played alot of house n general dance music of that era. This was one of those tracks that turned a full'ish dancefloor into one seething mass of people just moving to Souls rhythm. Incredible and memorable times. I miss them. You'd have loved it. Thanks again.
Danced to this in the clubs while stationed in Germany back in the day, great times, great music.
Me too! I was in Heilbronn! 237th engineers.
@@iracolwell7253 I was in Karlsruhe with 79th Engineers.
This was the era of so much good original music
Yes sister. Pure soul. Music. Of love
I love this song and thank you for playing this song for me and you your family and your friends you all have a wonderful fantastic awesome bless safe day enjoy the rest of your day God bless you your family and your friends 😊 🙏
true...the vibe has gone out of modern times....in the 80's 90's the vibe was awsome...this is a british band, like loose ends..sos band. they .invented this sound,
Soul II Soul "Jazzie's Groove", Caron Wheeler (the female vocalist in Soul II Soul), Deee Lite "Good Beat", Neneh Cherry "Buffalo Stance", Lisa Stansfield "All Around The World" are all great bands/artists fro the 80's.
You definitely couldn't help but vibe to it!! It still sounds fresh to this day
I was 9 and was blown away by the song and her voice
One of my favorite songs of the 90’s.
Lucky to be in my 20s during this time, great vibes like this in the UK, then came acid house and dance music, illegal raves etc, best days of my life.
This makes me 17 again....I loved this song my Sr. year of high school. As soon as it starts, it hits my stomach. The late 80s - early 90s were amazing.
Soul II Soul their style was before their time. European fashion influence
God, the 80's were such an incredible time!
Friggin AMAZING jam, love it!
I believe today or yesterday was 30 years since this album was released. They really set the world on it's ear with their sound. that UK RnB. You should check out the band Loose Ends - Hanging On A String, You Can't Stop The Rain. Peace Miss Sushi
I suggested Loose Ends too. Those were definitely the days
You're right it sounds like a 90s sit com because this was the song played in the opening of the show Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. And yes they definitely need to bring some of the music back from the 70s, 80s and 90s. At least y'all are keeping it alive on you tube.
i was around back then, and this was a very popular song especially at kids birthday parties in West Africa back then, but i was a kiddo lol 8 years old ish when this came out. Never understood what she was saying but joined in at the chorus and the "back to life back to reality bit"
-Steve Urkel = Family Matters.... the small keyboard is called a keytar, played by Jazzie B the producer of the group
-One of the dopest songs of that time.
You gotta do their huge hit: "Keep on moving". That's a jam too.
Karyn White - "Superwoman" -- "Secret Rendezvous " you'll love it 😎
Love Karen white
YYYAAASSs!
Im 33 and shes still fiiiinnnneee. Love secret rondevous and the way you love me reminds me of being a kid and my mother.
Superwoman!
I love Secret Rendezvous! One of my favourites.
damn it Sushi ya making me feel old reacting to music I grew up with as a kid and ya like "I've never heard of this group"...............shall I just get my grandpa slippers and pipe already ? Lol
😂😂😂
Seriously...how could she just NOT reacting, let alone grooving along to THIS..???
Wow.... 😮😮
I was 16 in the UK & my GF at the time bought me this classic album on tape. This track pretty much defined our generation. True multiculturism. The summer of 89 was a time of wonder & excitement. I feel so sorry for the kids of today. They will never had what we had. Satan has seen to that.
This song came out back in 1989.
The best years ever💯💯💯 80’s baby
‘1982 🔥🔥🔥
This was summer of 89 and rave culture had just begun in the UK. Very exciting time to be young then. Check out 1989 Summer of Rave documentary to get a feel for that time.
The television show was called "Family Matters", and the instrument Steve Urkel used to play on the show was the "Accordion". Hehe, he used to play what is called "Polka Music" on it all the time. That's not the same instrument that you see Jazzie B playing in this video, however. That instrument is actually called a "keytar" (or a "strap-on-keyboard", or a "remote keyboard", or "MIDI controller"), which is a combination of a keyboard and a guitar. They typically operate with their own synthesizer engine; and just as an electric guitar must be connected to an amplifier in order to be heard, the keytar must be connected to an amplifier or PA system to produce sound. The accordion, however, is more of a combination of a piano and a wind instrument and does not need any external amplification system to produce sounds; and it resembles more of a portable "pipe organ" which blows air through pipes.
You've gotta dance Sushi! ❤
Aww man the 90's yes thank you for this.
The style all around back then was fun and expressive... Lots of pride in your art. I'm in my late 40s and these grooves mean so much to me.
This song is my forever jam. I was like 20 when this debuted and it’s still my go to jam when I’m feeling down
The tv show with Urkel was called "Family Matters".
4:12 The name is "Family Matters."
They are from my yard, the UK. Karen Wheeler on vocal with Jazzy B as the main man in the group.
Definitely checkout more of theit tracks, you won't be disappointed.
😊🙏🏿🇦🇬🇬🇧
You know it's the 80s when you see a 'Keytar'...class...great memories...great shoulder-pads :-))
This was London Town, you couldn't fail to pack a dance floor to this tune.
The Funky Street Soul and raw beats of the U.K soul scene...
Listen to Deee-Lite’s Groove is in the Heart or Rubber Lover or Snap-The Power for more 90s feels
And Zhane- Hey Mr DJ
A bit of history lesson, this was when house was on a come up and I’m talking about house music. House music spawned so many different genres. This type of music, downtempo, was one of them. This group is from Europe. Over there, they loved absolutely loved house, dance music, before there was even a term called EDM. They took it to a whole other level.
A bit of history revision from someone who was there & got the t-shirt..from the Soul II Soul shop..in London..
Does this tune have a 4/4 beat..& no snare?Even w/a snare,it's still not happening;in no way can this be considered House music or any sub-genre off of it;lazy & uninformed categorization that's been going on for almost a quarter of a century.
There was a super-fertile atmosphere of musical creativity in & around those times,aiding in the cross-pollenization that spawned many genres/sub-genres of music..so much so,that the press/music journo's had a hard time keeping up @ first,they got lazy & confused,so they lumped alot of things together for ease,and it's stuck eversince(& pissed me off since then,too),hence what u've read & mistakenly quoted..house didn't spawn this;it's the fusing of soul & hip-hop through a reggae filter of a group birthed through Afro-Caribbean sound-system culture & London's vibrancy of musical tradition,aspect & output:the Sound Of The Funki Dred,as they called it.
We love music,so damn right we take it to a whole other level..that's why this all came from knowledge in my memory
PS Here's another one of my favourites that gets mis-categorized as House,isn't 4/4 & does have a breakbeat:
The Blow Monkeys - La Passionara
Check it out & let me know what u think of it,Jose
If you love the 90s vibe you would love Massive Attack. They were HUUUUGE, so many great songs that were, well, massive in the 90s with a timeless vibe :)
New here, but love this song. You need to look at:
Rozalla: Everybody's Free
B52 's : Love Shack
MC Hammer: Pray or U Can't touch this
Here comes the hotstepper (can't remember the name)
C&C music factory: Gonna make you sweat
90s music scene was epic
Show was called Family Matters
Family Matters. And yeah that's a vibe. Damn that's THE jam! I hit on this so quick. That beat... 💃😍😍
That show was "Family Matters" with Steve Urkel who is actually Jaleel White.
Hey look, she didn't cry!
The whole vibe is London Town
This tune got me over my mums sudden death, soul to soul are awesome xx
Not over but towards...
It's funny you said " see how they were just jammin?" As I am just jammin! Can't stay still during this song. I remember when it first came out on the radio!
Believe me when I tell you , we had one hell of a time , and I wouldn't change a thing , it was a awesome time to be alive , but the door is wide open so come on in, and enjoy , wish you were there..🤪😁 now it's 20 21 😷 what a bummer..😬 holler at your boy from Texas 🤠.....
I was a teenager back then when this song hit nr.1 on MTV. And yes you should be born back then becouse like alot of comments down here, the funk and hip hop was really great :)
This vibe still exist but it only exists within you. It needs to be brought back out. The vibe comes for the desire to achieve excellence and identity by a certain group of people who used music as a form of art to share their world.
Music is Freedom.
This song was in the pilot episode of Fresh Prince of BelAir...Will was setting up his room dancing to it.
I also remember this being a favorite at every school dance too. Everytime I have it on in my car, I crank it up, and people around me are smiling and giving me the thumbs up...one of THE quintessential songs of the early 90's...
I remember what you were referring to with Steve Urkel. Its Family Matters. He played the accordion
The '90s were the best decade to be a teenager.
I grew up on 90s country and 80s/90s hip-hop and r&b. I love this song so much.
it was an awesome song ... the forgotten teenage days.
Used to rollerskate to this joint! Took me back to the rink with blacklights, disco ball and everybody skate-dancing! 💜
Amazing song British soul at its best
Wow... u r really playing the old school classic. I remember my older brother playing this in his wedding reception in Brooklyn, 1989.
This was the music we all jammed to from the clubs to the house parties. No matter what part of town we partied at, this song would come on and it was on. It was the 1980's baby.
Black British soul. Do check out other black brit soul, jazz funk and reggae artists from that era. Those days were definitely a vibe and I miss it all ✨️
this is actually 1989. Lovely song, evergreen.
UK RnB at its best. They’re from London England. Try my favourite of theirs “Keep On Movin” 😀
The Funky Dreads were a movement.
I'm glad I grew up in the late 70s and 80s, and 90s. We had the best music, we had no wokeness, we were allowed to play on the monkey bars with no supervision, all the dumb shit we did was not all logged on social media, all the venomous ex girlfriends had no way of doxxing or attacking us via social media. We had creative movies with strong male heroes and music videos were creative and catchy as hell.
This song Is more late 80's than 90's. As someone who was in their 20's back then we had our own problems. There were artist with different styles, but the major record lables started promoting whatever was the last song to make them most money . That's why now we only get one style of rap in major markets. You should react to more females of the 80s-90's in both Hip Hop, and Country.
Aaaay......highschool jam!
Checkout erykah badu and maxwell. They were mid 90s and part of the neo soul movement.
That was such a great song! I think I just bobbed my head ;)
I know I did, brother. 🙂
As a guy who was in his mid twenties when this type of music was killing it in clubs ,parties and blues .This was a period of time that will be hard to beat.remeber Mike Tyson shouting out jazzi B and soul2soul great group ,great sounds
Simple times, happy with less, and giving more.
To really appreciate this song you near to hear it on a sound system with big speakers. The bass line is very heavy. This was a real party jam back in the day!
I'd like to see you do that head move at 2:45 !!!! 😂😂
The bass line is everything. That’s the first thing I noticed in this video....that it wasn’t there.
Back when music was about feeling creativity and raw talent...How times have changed.
Great song. Awesome review
Girl.....whaaaaat! you never heard of this group or track....you haven't lived! THis is one of the best all time Club Classics. One of the most respected sounds!
Graduated '89 and soon after went to Marine Corps boot camp. After that, it was all about clubbing, drinking and living the single life. Back then, you really did have to know how to dance and not just grind and bob your heads... I really miss those days but so happy that I experienced it... late '80s - early '90s
used to jam this back in early 90s...still a great song..timeless. The whole album is awesome....
One of my favorite groups from the 1980s. Can't forget the SOS Band, Shalamar, Midnight Star, Ike and Tina Turner, Patrice Rushen, En Vogue and so many more from a whole different Era....
This song came out in 89
I agree the energy back then was amazing. I am from this era and so many good memories. The music was amazing. Please check out more of this style of music as well. The rap back then is the best nothing compares to today. Everyone had talent and their own lane, no one doing the same thing at all.
Soul to Soul had their time in the late 80s and early 90s//////LEGENDS
