Shawn, your face says it all. This came out when people tried to stay together even when they were unhappy lol. Our mama's taught us to. Generation gap for sure. Love you two!!
Their song "Always" is their biggest and best song. It went number one on the Billboard charts in June 1987. It's my favorite from them and a huge wedding song.
😂 I must have watched this video a million times, and I love this song and the video. But it's so much fun watching you guys watch it for the first time!🤭😂😄 It's just a video. From what I heard the two men in the video or actually brothers. The scorned dude in the video ( husband or boyfriend) was her actual boyfriend or husband at the time. 😆😁 I had also heard that the two singing on the stage didn't like each other for some reason. You'd never know because their chemistry was so perfect together. 🤗
Its a classic. Im a punk rock dude that hangs with punk rock people, and I'll bet $500 that if this song came on the speakers, ALL of us weirdos would be able to sing along with the chorus! 🤣💯 It was just EVERYWHERE for about 5 years, and its impossible to not know the words to... no matter what kinda music you were into at the time.
Shaun & Mel, don’t stop here, so many more soulful cheating songs from the 60’s , 70’s and 80’s , like “ As We Lay” by Shirley Murdock , “ Who Is He And What Is He To You “ by Bill Withers , “ Part Time Lover “ by Sir Steve Wonder , “ Woman To Woman “ by Shirley Brown, “ Cheating In The Next Room” by Z.Z. Hill, “I Was Checkin' Out She Was Checkin' In” by Don Covay , “ Your Secret Love “ by Luther Vandross, and one of the greatest classics “ Kiss And Say Goodbye “ by The Manhattans. Art imitating life!
Great reaction guys. Even though the song was about cheating, the chemistry was undeniable. Shawn looking over there at Mel like..you smiling a little to much at this song...lol. Woo Nelly. Seriously though, don't let this song discourage you Shawn. Atlantic Starr has some beautiful ballads. "Always " "When Love Calls" "Send for Me"....and my personal favorite "Am I Dreaming ". Love you guys👏👏👏🔥🔥
Been there and it's a horrible situation to be in but it's not easy just to walk away especially when it's a friend. But on atlantic starr they've got a song called ' am i dreaming' which is a lovely song.
I first heard Atlantic Star when Sharon Bryant was the female lead. If you want s nice contrast listen to some of their early songs like, "When Love Calls", "Circles", "Am I Dreaming?", and "Silver Shadow" to name a few.
Hi Shawn and Mel, you are right Shawn they were greedy. I didn't;t like the lyrics either and it is sad to think of the potential heartbreak that is coming to the innocent mate. But I do love their voices and chemistry together! Atlantic Star had a great sound. I really enjoy that smooth 80'a R&B. So beautiful when they harmonize together.
I recently watched their episode of Unsung. It was LIT! There were 3 Lewis brothers. Barbara went with 1 of the brothers. It’s Insinuated that she played another one the brothers to get closer to the other brother in order to get into the group. This caused all kinds of mess with the group. They’re 60+ years old and STILL have NOT spoken to each other.
This was a great song back in the day. Loved the reaction. Many sang along without understanding what was going on. There were a lot of songs like this back in the day.The Soul Children: I'llBe the Orher Woman, Betty Wright: The Clean up Woman, Smokey Robinson The Agony of the Ecstacy, The Soul Children: Midnight Sunshine and I'll Understand,New Birth: I Don't Wanna Wrong. Johnny Taylor: You Can't Trust Your Neighbor. Shirley Brown: Woman to Woman and the rebuff From His Woman to You. Seem there were so many song that sounded so good you didn't realize they were about a bad subject.
The words hurt because it happened to me. He had children with his lover and named the two girls after me and OUR daughter. The music is beautiful but change the words. My household really doesn't want to hear this song.
What's up Shawn and Mel great song from years ago. Please react to Atlantic Starr If Your Heart Isn't In It (1985) My favorite by them Am I Dreaming (1980) and if you think secret lovers is something try Mtume You Me and He(1984) Thanks guys.
I think the "secret lovers" relationship is real... they aren't lying to each other and each one knows what's up... the relationship they have with their significant others is not real... they are lying about the relationship, where they are at, where they are going, and how they feel about them...
Hi guys greetings from thurles co tipperary, love watching your reaction videos, you guy get through a lot of European culture, hey try have a look at this video called the isle of man TT motorbike race the oldest motorcycle race on earth!!! it happens once a year and its held on an island called the isle of man that sits between Ireland and Britain in the irish sea, it's also the most dangerous motorcycle race on earth and to see it live is a bucket list moment, have fun and enjoy and keep making those fantastic reaction videos,kind regards ned from thurles co tipperary 🧐🤟👍👍
I was 20 when this song was out. I can’t say I really thought about how scandalous the song was, it was such a beautiful song minus the words. 😂 I can’t say I didn’t have scandalous thoughts back then.
I dont know if u have done these but angel eyes by Jeff Healey band and cher and Peter cetera called after all.. I would love to see your reaction on those
Love this song lol... i miss good R&B/soul music from the 70s and 80s Loved your reaction lol I think the affair was all so real ...that it was really happening. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
There all amazing singers in atlantic starr , but my fav . songs are the ones with Wayne . wayne Lewis has that soul about him , he knows how to sing to the women .
I love that song amazing choice.. I'm Taz from uk. You've never done my choice yet, lisafischer how can I ease the pain 1991. Get blown away very seductive ITS FIRE 🌹❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Please refer to Atlantic stars other hit, Always- for me it haunts me because I watched the family on death row singing it to him on the morning he was executed in fourteen days in May. I was a kid and watched it cause big people in my family were watching it, I sneaked downstairs. It's haunted me since.
I love this song… Ironically I have never seen this live video before...... 😳😁...but if you hear the record or tape version of this song ,I personally think it's better❤
It’s not real😂people always trying to make something wrong, right😌. They started out saying they did not want to mess yo their “happy homes”. Ignorance is not bliss!
My nephews x and myself where very close friend, everyone swore we were doing the nasty, so just be jerks we made this song our ringtones so wen i called her this came on wen she called me it came on lololololol
Idk if those two were a couple when this song came out but imagine if they were not. Can you see them trying to explain to their significant others " hey we got this song coming out, it's not about us. Don't let it bother you." Or did they wait until it was already on the radio?? lol
Shawn had a bad reaction? It's just a nice song, so long as you dont take it personal. Well cheer him up...The Carpenters TOP OF THE WORLD ( live at the White House edition) and MERRY CHRISTMAS DARLING
Married women have been fooling around on the side since the institution of marriage was invented. It's super common, and it happens with the poor and the wealthy. Women continue to be able to get sex whenever they want even after they marry. In terms of song, I'd say my favorite in the genre is "Me and Mrs. Jones," by Billy Paul.
Hey y’all this was one of hottest songs of the 80’s, parents had to make sure the children didn’t sing along with this one 😁😁😁😁😄😄. Don’t blame the legendary group Atlantic Starr , they were just the messagers , singing a sing about secret lovers everywhere, it went on years before this and it still goes on somewhere in this world 🌎! 😄😄😄👍🏾✌🏽
That's one of the saddest things about our society is how we justify adultery everybody's doing it so that makes it okay that's pure selfishness bordering on the line of evil what a society we live in moral Decay is real
@@codeblood2000 I don’t think it’s justifying adultry , just art imitating life, it’s been in movies, tv, books, and everything in between. It’s simply talking about what people are doing in real life , not justifying what they do, no different that watching s movie about it, or reading a novel about it..
I have to say that Always is a much better song choice than Secret Lovers. Always has beautiful harmony and is about hope and promise. Secret Lovers is about cheating, no matter how you try to pretty it up.
This is why even if your married a man 1000% need a DNA , my hommie got 5 children he sent to college doc lawyers, engineer .Now they with their biologic father after their parents divorce, haven't seen them in 5 years and he had a stoke they don't visit him. They take grandchildren to their biological father now. Men please please get a DNA test before you sign a birth certificate. Atlantic star is giving yal a message.
You also have to understand there was a lot of cheating going on in the 80s and I think because all the adults then were forced into being in unwanted relationships because that was what you were supposed to do also you didn't just up and leave your family you cared about what your kids and people would think you didn't want to wreck to families that's a hard one cuz we all know staying together wrecks a family
Shawn, your face says it all. This came out when people tried to stay together even when they were unhappy lol. Our mama's taught us to. Generation gap for sure. Love you two!!
Hey guys, this song was the jam back in the day. Great reaction, yall are so fun to watch.
I remember this song. The thing about it is..... The tune is just that good, you can't help but love it!
100 it’s all about that hook.
Their song "Always" is their biggest and best song. It went number one on the Billboard charts in June 1987. It's my favorite from them and a huge wedding song.
I absolutely agree!! 👍🏽
This song is probably a very close second-despite the subject matter.
Close second for sure
Classic, if you were growing up then, you loved this song
There's are my favorite and cool one on TH-cam right now and the best and beautiful and pretty you guys are
I saw them in concert back in the 80s, they open for Pattie Labelle. They were awesome. I was very impressed 👏
😂 I must have watched this video a million times, and I love this song and the video. But it's so much fun watching you guys watch it for the first time!🤭😂😄 It's just a video. From what I heard the two men in the video or actually brothers. The scorned dude in the video ( husband or boyfriend) was her actual boyfriend or husband at the time. 😆😁
I had also heard that the two singing on the stage didn't like each other for some reason. You'd never know because their chemistry was so perfect together. 🤗
She understands. He doesn't. But she does lol.
I loved Shawn's reaction. He looked like he wanted to hurt somebody...and Mel kept smiling and laughing. Try Shirley Murdoch's As We Lay or Husband.
And Somebody Else's Guy by Jocelyn Brown. We had our scandalous songs back in the day 😄.
I love this reaction. Hilarious. 😁🤣
I was a senior in high school when this came out and it was huge, partly because people didn't sign about such things back then.
Wow, forgot all about this song but I remembered it word for word! I love this song❤️
Me too.
This was real and still going on today❤
Its a classic. Im a punk rock dude that hangs with punk rock people, and I'll bet $500 that if this song came on the speakers, ALL of us weirdos would be able to sing along with the chorus! 🤣💯

The cemetery is full of secret lovers!
The look on Shawn's face and the grin and side eyes Mel was looking at Him. She knew how he was going to react. LOL
Great reaction guys. Even though the song was about cheating, the chemistry was undeniable. Shawn looking over there at Mel like..you smiling a little to much at this song...lol. Woo Nelly.
Seriously though, don't let this song discourage you Shawn. Atlantic Starr has some beautiful ballads. "Always " "When Love Calls" "Send for Me"....and my personal favorite "Am I Dreaming ".
Love you guys👏👏👏🔥🔥
"Masterpiece" too.❤
This song is a classic, but a sleepy song lol.
I think they are or were married to each other that's why you see the chemistry Mel
Been there and it's a horrible situation to be in but it's not easy just to walk away especially when it's a friend. But on atlantic starr they've got a song called ' am i dreaming' which is a lovely song.

Freakaristic was a lil different sound 4 them. I played it 4 someone n had them guess who it was. They guessed Rick James lol
Love you guys ♥️ Awesome reaction 🔥🔥🔥
My Highschool slow jam of 85!!!! Love it!
You guys crack me up😂🤣👏
Hi Shawn and Mel, you are right Shawn they were greedy. I didn't;t like the lyrics either and it is sad to think of the potential heartbreak that is coming to the innocent mate. But I do love their voices and chemistry together! Atlantic Star had a great sound. I really enjoy that smooth 80'a R&B. So beautiful when they harmonize together.
When I was young I couldn't decipher that they were actually singing a love song about straight up cheating on a MF 😆🤣
Love Atlantic Starr, but the song is just so sad. It always comes out!
I recently watched their episode of Unsung. It was LIT!
There were 3 Lewis brothers. Barbara went with 1 of the brothers. It’s Insinuated that she played another one the brothers to get closer to the other brother in order to get into the group. This caused all kinds of mess with the group.
They’re 60+ years old and STILL have NOT spoken to each other.
She keeps saying they have chemistry 😂
Go watch their episode of Unsung, then y’all will really be throwed!
Shawn's reaction, priceless. Lol

I love her 80s hairstyle on stage and outside. He is of course sporting a Jerry curl which might leave some oil on her pillow.
I still love this song ❤🇨🇦
In real life the husband in the video dated the lady. The male singer was his brother. Atlantic Starr were beasts! They have a lot of hits.
Good ole 80s
This was a great song back in the day. Loved the reaction. Many sang along without understanding what was going on. There were a lot of songs like this back in the day.The Soul Children: I'llBe the Orher Woman, Betty Wright: The Clean up Woman, Smokey Robinson The Agony of the Ecstacy, The Soul Children: Midnight Sunshine and I'll Understand,New Birth: I Don't Wanna Wrong. Johnny Taylor: You Can't Trust Your Neighbor. Shirley Brown: Woman to Woman and the rebuff From His Woman to You. Seem there were so many song that sounded so good you didn't realize they were about a bad subject.
Had that experience
The words hurt because it happened to me. He had children with his lover and named the two girls after me and OUR daughter. The music is beautiful but change the words. My household really doesn't want to hear this song.
My fav of theirs is Let the sun in .

Called this the "cheating " song. Lol. A beautiful song tho!!
I think the "secret lovers" relationship is real... they aren't lying to each other and each one knows what's up... the relationship they have with their significant others is not real... they are lying about the relationship, where they are at, where they are going, and how they feel about them...
It's a big ole wow , how a record can come out and sing about the life you are living.

I love that song 😁
Idk if those two were a couple when this song came out but imagine if they were not. Can you see them trying to explain to their significant others " hey we got this song coming out, it's not about us. Don't let it bother you." Or did they wait until it was already on the radio?? lol
Live is awesome but you should watch the official video
Listened to this song once. Found it revolting, not romantic. This is the cheater’s anthem.
Shawn had a bad reaction? It's just a nice song, so long as you dont take it personal. Well cheer him up...The Carpenters TOP OF THE WORLD ( live at the White House edition) and MERRY CHRISTMAS DARLING

Great song
Impossible for me to have a secret lover...can't keep a secret! ☺️
