Jody was verrrry influential and isn’t given nearly enough credit. Her music and videos were fresh and new, and she ruled the charts with every single from 87-90.
Back when I was in high school, one of the star basketball players broke up with his girlfriend, due to her cheating. Between classes he was walking down the hall singing this song. I was cracking up😂😂😂😂
I remember running out and buying the cassette to this I jammed on this driving around Oahu all the time and I'm still jamming today even though I'm in Texas and 58 yrs old
taylor dayne is a very talented singer and she has this magical voice and lyrics that i love💖her songs will never be forgotten in this word. since when have you been listening to Taylor's songs?
She was first 'discovered' as a Soul Train dancer and then reappeared on that very same show (RIP & thank you Don Cornelius) as a lead member of the group Shalamar. 🕺🪩💃🙏✨
@crow woman1 Guess what? You can't contour those type of cheekbones and the eyes come with the package. You can't tolerate someone giving another woman a compliment? Damn!
When it comes on at Starbucks, we jam out! All the young kids always want it on the 80s station and they play this! Love me some Jody any day of the week!
I love this song! When I hear that melody at the start, I can close my eyes and be immediately taken back to such good memories and happy times in the 80s. The way this video uses every 80s technique is awesome. The neon colors and color blocking, satin sheets, use of light and shadow, it's so great. Not forgetting Jody and her natural beauty. She sang about taking back her power back long before the wannabes of today.
The 80s were definitely a diverse decade of music for me. I could listen to this, then hop to Luther, thug it out with some NWA, break dance to some Curtis Blow, then jam to the Phil Collins and Cyndi Lauper and Pat Benatar all on the same mixed tape!! I just want it back!! BIG TEARS OF NOSTALGIA!!!😭😭😭😭😭
That's exactly how it was! Top 40 radio in the 80's had a diversity I haven't heard before or since. You could turn on the radio and hear R&B, funk, early hip-hop, new wave, punk and post-punk, hard rock, metal, 2nd wave ska, reggae, country rock, blues, folk, house, 50's and 60's revivalism, college rock, sophisticated pop like Sade, Latin freestyle, world music, and a lot more...all in the same programming block. I can't imagine turning on the radio today and hearing Jody Watley, Duran Duran, Sade, Eddy Grant, George Michael, and Janet Jackson back to back, but in the 80's that kind of thing happened all the time!
No!!! She wasn’t underrated. She was DaBomb!!! She got her Grammy, toured the globe and slayed!!! She did her thing and had an outstanding run during that era.
,,, is that the only thing you all know how to say is that somebody is underrated? Can you get a new line already that is literally all you people post and don't know what you're talkin about! Get a new word!!!!!!!!!

Jody Watley made the phrase "Hasta la vista baby" famous!!! As opposed to Arnold Schwarzenegger who copied her phrase in Terminator 2 years later. When I listen to this song I'm in my 20s again, thankyou so much Jody❤❤
This song was up against the holy trinity of music - Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, and Whitney Houston at the 1988 Sout Train Music Awards. That is truly a feat in itself - not many can say that 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Rotary dial phone at the beginning of the video. Omg. 😂 Talk about taking it back!! And I love that this showed up in my feed (Thanks, TH-cam algorithm!).
I was in high school when Jody Watley came on the scene as a solo artist from Shalamar. She absolutely was the bomb. So underrated as an artist. I would take her over Janet, Madonna, and Paula in a minute. Love ❤️ Jody Watley.
I was a little girl singing this, probably 8. Over 30 years later, im dancing to this song with my 9 year old daughter!! God is soo good💕 Jody was soo beautiful, omg no nothing just her natural self, and I love her voice..

There was a moment in time JODI WATLEY owned MTV. And I was there.
X k no

MADONNA STOLE HER STYLE--lock, stock, and TWO smokin' barrels!
And so history was written
The 80’s looks so fun and exciting I just love their fashion !!
It was wayyyy better then the days we are living in now!
The 80’s and the 90’s had THE BEST fashion ever. Oh, those were the days🔥🔥🔥
This was a huge hit on MTV back in the day. Awesome video!
Jody was verrrry influential and isn’t given nearly enough credit. Her music and videos were fresh and new, and she ruled the charts with every single from 87-90.
80’s forever!!!
Forever and ever ♾️ ❤
The intro to this song is everything ☺️💕
My mom use to play this song all the time ! I’m a 80’s baby
Back when I was in high school, one of the star basketball players broke up with his girlfriend, due to her cheating. Between classes he was walking down the hall singing this song. I was cracking up😂😂😂😂

There should be hip 80s bars/clubs in major cities everywhere for us Gen Xers
Right I was n 84 but I have old soul.
Definitely! 😊
Head to a gay bar. That's where I heard this/saw the music video for the first time.
Yes!
With no smartphones allowed😉!
I never left the 80's. And I never apologize for it👏👏👏
Sorry not sorry
Me too 😊
The 80s maybe over, but I'm not over the 80s
How could you apologize for it? We had the best! 🎆
I'm right with ya. I can't stand this generation.
The fashion, the jewelry, the tune...I was in such awe when I heard and saw Ms. Watley.
Her style has always been impeccable, even when she danced on Soul Train and when she was a member of the group Shalamar❤️
The 80's was a Total Vibe, A Feeling, An Attitude.
Jody’s hoop earring game was STRONG!
I love Jody ❤ her songs are bangers 2024
What a time to be alive 🥰 Jody walleye, pebbles, Karen white , Tina Marie, these women could sing for real, no autotune just talent and great music
Walleye😂

She still is.
This sound never gets old.
Never! I love Jody
It actually does
Richard Dekker never
That ultra reverb drum is now totally retro
Never ever! I love Jody Watley's music alot
She let us all know that her place in history was not to be undervalued. She earned every ounce of the mass appeal and stardom. Love you lots, Jody. 💗
Absolutely. And well said ! 😀
Absolutely!!!
I agree back in the 80's she was all that. In 2023 she is still an Icon.
She was first 'discovered' as a Soul Train dancer and then reappeared on that very same show (RIP & thank you Don Cornelius) as a lead member of the group Shalamar. 🕺🪩💃🙏✨
@@oscarl.ramirez7355No Oscar SHE IS STILLLLLLLLLLLLLL ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLTHATTTTTTTTTTT
Shes a LEGEND.
Jody Watley is one of the prettiest ladies I've seen. Those cat eyes are so magnetic!
You said it ! mate
Is that a tiger tattooed on her right leg? Hard to tell on the video
@crow woman1 She's still pretty.
@crow woman1 Guess what? You can't contour those type of cheekbones and the eyes come with the package. You can't tolerate someone giving another woman a compliment? Damn!
@David brown Both are beautiful.
I’m here 2024 ❤ just saw her on Tamron Hall and she still 🔥

Yes, I love that intro
The Drummer deserves a mention u see glimpses just adds to class of Jody her Song and Video it's so classy
The intro is iconic - easily one of the most identifiable intros from the '80s.
Jody Watley in this video always reminded me of Downtown Julie Brown from MTV. 😁
Im looking for a new love and its you Jody!
One thing about Jody Watley that’s so beguiling is her eyes….. beautifully shaped, and just alluring.
That was always what got me about her.
She was the 80s Barbie doll of Rhythm and Blues
My Lord take me back please❤🙏
AMEN or LIKEWISE!
you got to love those days, Jody watley, Karyn White, Cherelle, Pebbles and all those lovely talented ladies!!
The 80s were definitely a diverse decade of music for me.

TELL it Mo. 👏👏👏
Truth
I listen to all those artists too..80's was truly diverse for music! I miss it. Not much originality anymore.
That's exactly how it was! Top 40 radio in the 80's had a diversity I haven't heard before or since.

😭😭😭nostalgia fr
There's no way this can ever get old.
The LOOKS she's serving in this video!!!!😍
Even Jody didn’t need auto tune. She married fashion and music like no one else.
Jody Watley was one of the most underrated artists of the 80s...and quite frankly all time. Truly talented and wonderful...thanks for the memories!
How was she underrated?
She was great in Shalamar in the 70s and early 80s too.
No!!! She wasn’t underrated.
She was DaBomb!!! She got her Grammy, toured the globe and slayed!!!
She did her thing and had an outstanding run during that era.
@@Earlofthearies.1982at the time, Jody was criticized for "paper thin" vocals. This was right before Paula Abdul and autotune taking over.
,,, is that the only thing you all know how to say is that somebody is underrated? Can you get a new line already that is literally all you people post and don't know what you're talkin about! Get a new word!!!!!!!!!
This is my jam!!!!! The song might be over 30 years old but it never gets old. I love hearing it now just as much as when it came out 😃
Yes
80s music was the best!!!!
Today makes 35 years of this album. Learned that today from Nick Cannon show. I'm so amazed 35 years and I'm 49. Wow!
Takes me back to fun, happy,healthy,young times !
Absolutely the best times of my 65 years 😢
@@kookiexshookie2215 very succinct, my dear kookyex !
So much going on here, truly a timeless song.
The camera fell in LOVE with this woman. One of the baddest female vocalists talents in that year!
She’s gorgeous!! I love her music!

Love you Jody!
A car riding by was blasting this .... I immediately came to find it

The Arnie catchphrase she just made it sweeter in this top notch song and her earrings are massive how she do it but cool tho the same fashion fashion slick and styley 80s in a nutshell

That intro when the beat drops! Instant eargasm 😩❤️
Love when the music starts in this song! It's great.
Does not get old. Total ear Candy.
Simply stunning and so talented 😊
Why can't music today be like this?
Good question
Social engineering of society
we have similarities but the retro sound won't come back completely due to probably less popularity these days
I knowww huh..
I wondering the same thing!
This lady and her music saved my life from going totally crazy when I seen the light and exited my marriage.❤ you Jody.
