THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER COLONEL ABRAMS........ NOT EVEN CLOSE. IT BROKE MY HEART TO LEARN THAT HE WAS DEAD AND THAT HE 💔 DIED HOMELESS. I WILL CONTINUE TO LISTEN 🎶 TO HIS MUSIC.
Monica I just found out tonight that Colonel Abrams died. I just found out from you that he died homeless. That was my man back in the day. Listening to a D Train song tonight is what made me google Colonel Abrams' music. I always thought of them as similar artists.
Yes! He was an extremely talented musician who could sing, play numerous instruments; guitar, drums, piano and synthesizer. He also use to play with Prince back in the day, yes Prince.....
I see all of these comments about his dancing. I saw him perform several times at Zanzibar, Club 88, and the parties they would have at The Palladium. I think it was KTU that would have those. I don't remember him ever having any backup dancers but he always had stage presence. No special effects or anything. Just some good music and his own way of moving. Based on what I see and here today it makes me appreciate what he did even more.
No sh#t, I remember there was time I couldn't wait to turn 21, so that I could by my own liquor. Since I turned 21, it seems as if the numbers are coming at you faster and faster
A song that you simply can't just listen to, you have to get up and move. One of my all time faves from the beautiful 80's. The man had SWAG. So sad to hear of his passing. RIP Colonel. You put us all at ATTENTION!
Yes, he wore those fly suits and he was handsome with his brown hypnotic eyes gaze that would light up the room. COLONIAL ABRAMS MUSIC MATTERS PEOPLE PEACE&LOVE
LONG LIVE HOUSE MUSIC!🎼🎶🎤 I remember dancing to Colonel Abrams live at Zanzibar, Newark NJ- back in the day when ALL you used to do was DANCE, ALL night long-never wanting to leave the dance floor cause there was ALWAYS something Hot being played. He IS the King of HOUSE!!!!
I wish I was a lawyer. So just once I could make an objection in court and play a clip with him saying "Speculation...du du du du". The judge would fine me $100 for contempt but it would be so worth it. I still have "Trapped," "I'm not gonna let" and "Picture me in love with you" on my iPod. If Robocop had a choreographer it would be Colonel Abrams! Great music...
Colonel Abrams was a brilliant song writer with a Teddy Pendergrass type voice. He had numerous hits during the 80'S that defy time to this day. Damn I miss him!
The album was on FIRE ! Nobody knew where he came from , But there he was bigger than life itself. Whoever produced him knew they had GOLD in a bottle ! I never knew this song had a video (?)
RIP and thank you Colonial Abrams for a catalog of great music. I tried to get him to come out to our club in 2010, but we never connected. He always had those dope beats.
Yo! This is the polished version. When this track hit the NY/NJ clubs it was raw and nasty (unfiltered)! Something about that dirty bassline coming thru the club's sound system added an extra punch. The Colonel had house on lock for a minute. RIP King🙏
The command, the right to say dance people! .....that was this song...loved him and seeing him perform, think it was 88 or the peppermint...best times of my life. Know he is resting in paradise.
Thankyou oh heavenly God for giving the gift of our brother Sir Colonel Abrams please take him nto your kingdom comfort him and give him the rest he so deserves blessed out thou brother
I did not know there was a music video made of "Speculation"! I enjoy his voice. I enjoy the music video too! It is lively, busy, colourful and well produced!
His music was a floor-filler back in the day, but his anthem was "Trapped" and still is today just simply changed the face music. R,I.P Colonel Abraham's Will be sadly missed but never forgotten.
im not sure what led me back down memory lane and to this song…… but now im learning, through these comments that Colonel Abrams passed away, Oh no.... …… wow! RIP.
I love him.....all his music. He was very handsome. I never seem none of these videos until now. His music is timeless..........dag wish u were still here
Beautiful man! Wow he dance like a real man dances....that can’t dance. I love him I wish could have met him. I was at one of his performances at PARADISE GARAGE. AWESOME SPECTACULAR! If I would have met him I would have fell in love with him and married him. Can’t believe he died. They should make a life time movie about him.......RIP COLONEL.......TRULY MISSED. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺💐💐💐💐💐💐🌹🌺🌹🌺💐🌹🌺💐🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
He came to Norfolk VA in the early 90s to promote his album. Real cool people......down to earth. I had that dance down to a tee.....killing it at the Club Royale Blue.

I totally agree! This is so good.

@@thomasbayles8203 Yes it's still a surprise to me and it still breaks my heart.
@@monicanorman4681 the man left us some great music while he was here. It is sad to hear how his life ended.
Colonel passed away November of 2016.
Colonel & Teddy Pendergrass sound a lot alike… R.I.H. to both!🕊️🕊️
I saw him at Zanzibar in Newark NJ. He brought down the house. I broke day dancing all night. Loved this dude and his music. May he rest in peace.
Yes! He was an extremely talented musician who could sing, play numerous instruments; guitar, drums, piano and synthesizer. He also use to play with Prince back in the day, yes Prince.....
I concur I was also there that night
i was a child when he was out....even i liked his songs....he was the man.....RIP Colonel
@@ash27slick74 i had no idea he played with Prince and played numerous instruments.....
@@deejay5102 Yes he did. Colonel Abrams was a member of Prince's earlier bands in the early 80's.
Baseline slaps. He always had that dance. Thats his signature. RIP COLONIAL.
He was everything about NYC musically back then, gone but not forgotten.
I see all of these comments about his dancing. I saw him perform several times at Zanzibar, Club 88, and the parties they would have at The Palladium. I think it was KTU that would have those. I don't remember him ever having any backup dancers but he always had stage presence. No special effects or anything. Just some good music and his own way of moving.

🗣He wrote this song about all the narcs out there, hatin' and speculatin'.... Rest in Power
Mr. Abrams 💜🎶
Colonel was way ahead of his time. 😎💕
I miss the 80s!
Such an original and charismatic artist. Great shame he left us so early.
Wow this was our club music back then. Love this
This song should have 142 Million views
Speculation lol !
The Colonel is always with us! Rest in power, Colonel!
A tremendous singer, who brought underground jam to the radio.
RIP...my younger days are slowly slipping away.
No sh#t, I remember there was time I couldn't wait to turn 21, so that I could by my own liquor. Since I turned 21, it seems as if the numbers are coming at you faster and faster
You ain't neva lied Michael.
Word. First the love of my musical life, Prince, whose music I came of age to and now the Colonel, whose music I shook my ass to in the clubs. Sigh.
That's how it works. The year's fly by after you turn 30.
Right with ya son.
Colonel Abrams, fantastic voice, movements, charismatic, rythm,...
I am in Canary Islands, and nowdays, I usually listen his music. 2023
A song that you simply can't just listen to, you have to get up and move. One of my all time faves from the beautiful 80's. The man had SWAG. So sad to hear of his passing. RIP Colonel. You put us all at ATTENTION!
Yes, he wore those fly suits and
he was handsome with his
brown hypnotic eyes gaze that
would light up the room.
COLONIAL ABRAMS
MUSIC MATTERS
PEOPLE PEACE&LOVE
The good ole days of house groove. Love this man. God bless him.
LONG LIVE HOUSE MUSIC!🎼🎶🎤 I remember dancing to Colonel Abrams live at Zanzibar, Newark NJ- back in the day when ALL you used to do was DANCE, ALL night long-never wanting to leave the dance floor cause there was ALWAYS something Hot being played. He IS the King of HOUSE!!!!
Zanzibar yes girl ❤
Club Zanzibar yes. Colonial Abrams king of house
Oh hell yeah! We use to come from Asbury Park after the clubs would close at 2am, arrive at Zanzibar around 3am, stay there until 7am!
@@ash27slick74 who you lol.....we likely chased you up the parkway to Newark, Lincoln hotel and danced til seven am....
Best times of my life
I wish I was a lawyer. So just once I could make an objection in court and play a clip with him saying "Speculation...du du du du". The judge would fine me $100 for contempt but it would be so worth it.

The colonel rocked the clubs for years!!! Up there with First Choice!(that of course is my opinion :) )
