Donna Allen is an American dance pop singer, born in Key West, Florida, and raised in Tampa. She got her start performing in the bands Hi-Octane and Trama before launching a solo career. She also sang backup on tour for Gloria Estefan for nine years. Her first disc was the Lou Pace-produced 1986 album, Perfect Timing, and over the next few years she launched several hits on the US Billboard Hot Dance/Club Play chart. She had two Top 10 hits in the UK Singles Chart with "Serious" (1987, #8) and "Joy and Pain" (1989, #10). 1995's "Real", her last US chart hit, was taken from the soundtrack to the Sylvester Stallone film The Specialist.
I had the chance to listen to Donna perform live at the University of Miami in 1985 as a freshman and I fell in love.
SHE DID A WONDERFUL REMAKE OF THIS SONG. I LOVE IT. AWESOME!!!!!
Definitely! Sorry nothing else seemed to follow. She is a natural.
This sounds more like a mid-80s production with mid-80s drum machine and the famous 808 cowbell sound. (I know it was actually 1988 or 1989). The re-mix is more like a late 80s/early 90s production with more of a dance/rave/R&B style drums and percussion.
My friends produced this, wonderful, beautiful voice
Thank your friends for US. *&. YOU😮😇🥰🙏!*
Dude one of my favorite instrumentals of all time. Makes me want to sit on a miami beach at night with neon lights in the palm trees.
Kids- this is real music. No marketing companies or computer- its called talent
Quality laa 👌 👏 have a lovely day 😊
Hey Ms. D. Allen... listening to you right before the 2025 New Year!!! Love you girl 🥰 me and your sister was hangout buddies back in the day... good times 😁
❤❤ Donna Allen! What a Joy it brings listening to your Music! You are so Loved in Tampa, Florida by The Meteye Family and Linda Sanders! aka (RIP * Irene Meteye )
I used to love this song i was 15 am 45 now wow still a good remake 1989 was the year
best remake of the original, great groove.
BET used to have this in heavy rotation. It was a banger then and it still is.
i heard this version first before maze's version. i love it so much🥰 it was one of my lullabies as a kid to help me sleep. god i miss KISS FM😭 (98.7FM NYC)
this was the one version i remember. i ❤ it.
Donna put her Funk on this classic and made it her own. Nice Job Donna Allen.
Maze did a brilliant version of this track but Donna's voice does it great justice and it still sounds as good today as it did when it was released.
Love this song and love Donna's voice
Maze’s is the original, not a version
This music video fits the song so well
Donna has an amazing voice! I hope that she get a record deal from being on The Voice
yes I validate 👍
Still have my 12" ...what an absolutely awesome cover of this classic.

After 35 years my husband and I sill have our knickers in a twist about this song.. He insist this doesn't even remotely touch FB's version.. I beg to differ - vehemently... THIS IS THE VERSION 😅
EVER SINCE HEARD THIS MUSIC,IT HAS ALWAYS GIVEN ME D RENDITION OF VERY GOOD GOSPEL MUSIC, WITH MALE AND FEMALE BACKGROUND VOCALISTS SINGING OUT D GOOD SONG! I THANK GOD THAT SHE NOW SINGS GOSPEL MUSIC!! THIS "JOY AND PAIN" IS ABSOLUTELY GOOD GOSPEL MUSIC!!!
😇🖤🎼🖤😇🎧
This was a version that I knew existed...The first time I heard it was on the show.."Video Soul" with Donnie Simpson..But anyways thanks for the add of the song...love this version
Her voice has a annoting on it.
I love this version!!!
This version is so much better than the original, what a voice!
I am so glad she auditioned for The Voice because I would've never got to know Donna Allen's instrument. She is beautiful and her voice is alluring.
MAD IN LOVE WITH THIS GIRL, SONG AND CLIP..IT WAS MY 100% JAM BACK THEN!!
Love this song and what a voice Donna has ❤
Beautiful ❤️
Mann! How I wish I had a "WAY BACK" MACHINE! 😎👌🏾
I’m with you 👍🏾
Donna Allen (my homegirl from Tampa). I remember when she was a teenager...could dance & sing her butt off. I remember when she and I can't remember his name won the local dance contest to go represent Tampa in the Soul Train national dance contest. She also was lead singer in a local band....I'll never forget hearing her rendition of "Love Won't Let Me Wait". Donna was also a Tampa Bay Buccaneer cheerleader.
GO DONNA
the year I left school and this song was the highlight of that summer. what a voice. Donna Allen should have been a bigger star.
I agree. This is so soulful. ❤❤❤
KEEP THE BEAT ALIVE 5 star Song thanks from X!
A .I wore my cassette of this record slam out.!!! I love Donna Allen... I got to get the CD of this record... Man;brings back good memories of my 80's..
Haven't heard this version in a long long time
donna's made such a great cover here..it did'nt get enugh airplay back when it first came out!!
Don't know where your from, But it did get enough airplay and was a hit in many countries, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark + Holland
Good as ever.. Joy & Pain.. "There is no human being untouched by these two influences; but all the sorrow and the grief that exist come from the world of matter-the spiritual world bestows only the joy!" ~ Baha'i Writings
Wow so amazing. I can't believe you are not winning Grammy's and playing around the world. You are so amazing!
*Grammys*
Lovely throwback
So glad you posted this she had one with a saxophone in it that I have on tape it was awesome
Fabulous effort taking on such an iconic song. I missed Donna Allen first time around but there are elements of Patti Label in her voice which is nice and soulful. The addition of the sax makes for the only improvement on the original musicianship. Nice to bathe in Frankie's lyrics once more.
It's *LaBelle* .
89 was f.....g brilliant and i was there one word thankyou
There is NOTHING like silk tones of the late great Frankie Beverley’s amazing voice
Memories of good days... wow!! Thank you for the upload!
This version is very dope...btw, R.I.P. Frankie Beverly and Good Job, Donna Allen (all my 🍊 fans know what I'm talking about lol)
What can I say ? Amazing voice !
Brilliant version...RIP Frankie Beverley😔
great song
music to my ears brilliant track.
My teenage soundtrack 😊❤
My favorite version
Incredible vocal. Jx
Superb!😎
Damn great cover...your voice is strong and golden...gives me chills!
Her voice 😍
Damn this is nice
Donna's 2nd Top 10 single in UK
timelessssss
Love Love Love it!!!
This is the first time I heard this song is from this lady.
💃 Her voice tho 👌💕
Nice song
Memories... ❤
she was on The Voice a couple of years ago
I love this version way more than Maze's version. This should have been a huge hit. Donna could have been a big star in the 80's but lousy management and labels that didnt bother to promote her kept her from getting the recognition she deserved.
Agree.
I was there with Emridge Jones (RIP) my mentor and good friend on Sax and Keyboards. Gary King on Guitar Gene on Bass. Producer Lou Pace. Recorded at International Studio in Miami the good ol days.
Love this version...very soothing!
Naw i liked maze
You’ve got your opinion but nothing here the original matey! Poor taste !
Кака ти Дона Алан , мн тежка баровка, само старите компаньонки я знаем!💜🇺🇸💜
80s summer breeze.

She just made it onto to team Adam on the voice. She is older now, but voice is still amazing.

Remember when you first found love 💔 how you felt so good
The kind that lasts forever ♾ more so you thought 💭 it would
Suddenly the things you see has got you hurtin so bad, so bad
How come the things that make us happy 😆 make us sad ☹️
Oh, it seems to me that
(Joy and pain are like sunshine 🌞 and rain ☔️)
Oooh 😮 it seems to me that
(Joy and pain are like sunshine 🌞 and rain ☔️)
Love can be bitter, love 💕 can be sweet
And sometimes devotion and sometimes deceit
The ones that you care for give you so much pain
Oh, but it’s alright, they’re both one ☝️ in the same
(Joy and pain are like sunshine 🌞 and rain ☔️)
(Joy) and pain (and pain) are like sunshine 🌞 and rain 🌧
Don’t it seem we go through life going up and down
Seems the things that turn, you on, turn you around
Always hurting each other, if it ain’t one ☝️ thing it’s another
But when the world 🌎 is down on you loves somewhere around
But I know you to know that
Joy and pain are like sunshine 🌞 and rain 🌧
Joy and pain are like sunshine 🌞 and rain 🌧
(Joy)
(Joy)
(And pain)
(And pain)
(Joy and pain)
(Joy and pain)
(Joy and pain)
Over and over you can be sure
There will be sorrow but you will endure
Where there’s a flower 💐 there’s the sun 🌞 and the rain ☔️
Oh, and it’s wonderful, they’re both one ☝️ in the, the same
(Joy and pain are like sunshine 🌞 and rain ☔️)
Joy, oh, and pain are like sunshine ☀️ and rain 🌧
Joy and pain are like sunshine 🌞 and rain ☔️
Joy and pain are like sunshine 🌞 and rain ☔️
I love you ❤️
Sensacional!!!!!!!!!!!Lollll!
I liked this to get my head off the Rob base craziness back then
Always hurting each other!!! If it ain't one thing,,,it's another.......why?💔
Just took me back to college at Norfolk State University...
Aqui no Brasil fez muito Sucesso
A bit late but just got heaven on earth cd .
Nice arrangement. That keyboard is selling my band a better arrangement for us than before. With live horns
Que música top de se ouvir

But I still love Maze's version
Good cover of Maze

Lyrics💞
Remember when you first found love how you felt so good?
Kind that last forever more so you thought it would
Suddenly the things you see got you hurt so bad, so bad
How come the things that make us happy make us sad
It seems to me that
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain, woo
Love can be bitter love can be sweet
Sometimes devotion and sometimes deceit
The ones that you care for give you so much pain
Oh, but it's alright, they're both one and the same
Listen
Don't it seem we go through life going up and down
Seems the things that turn you on turn you around
Always hurting each other (if it ain't one thing it's another)
When the world is down on you love's somewhere around
And I want you to know that
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain (one more time)
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Over and over you can be sure
There will be sorrow but you will endure (you will endure)
Where there's a flower there's the sun and the rain
Oh, but it's wonderful, they're both one and the same
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain (do it one more time)
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain (up and down all around that goes)
Joy and pain are like sunshine and rain
Donna has some soulful pipes on her. ... maybe frankie tappin his toes to it 🤓
Fab. Let god take you to salvation!
