100% PURE LOVE is the ultimate Crystal Waters hit. And believe me...from the start of the cowbell beat kicking in til the last faded notes of the chorus, Jay will get what he wants. I hear that beat drop with the cowbell and I instantly forget where I am..ready to work it down!!!
I love 1990s house music. I grew up on it. "Gypsy Woman" is one of my favorite songs from this genre. The organ riff is iconic. I own a copy of the CD maxi-single, which includes a 7+ minute extended version, an a capella version, and a few other cool remixes. Another great track from Crystal Waters that was a big hit on the Dance/Club charts is "100% Pure Love." I have the CD maxi-single for that song as well.
For more 90s dance: Black Box - 'Everybody Everbody' and 'Strike It Up' C+C Music Factory - 'Gonna Make You Sweat', 'Here We Go' and 'Do You Wanna Get Funky' (the last one is when they finally worked with Martha Wash AND put her on camera) Also, please, PLEASE get into more 90s R&B (be it dance, New Jack Swing, slow jams, etc) with Tony Toni Toné with 'It Feels Good'
Robyn "Show Me Love" (1997), Culture Beat "Mr Vain" (1993), Quad City DJ's "Come and Ride It The Train" (1996), Corunna "Rythym Of The Night" (1994). All of these are incredible 90's dance hits I highly recommend reacting to.
If I' not mistaken, they already listened to Robyn S "Show Me Love" and they loved it. They should probably listen to her other good song "Love For Love"
@@user-dz6fy6qv2lThe one they listened to was the awesome 1993 song sung by Robyn S (short for Robyn Stone) - a black woman. There was another much more down tempo "Show me Love" by another Robyn (Carlsson, this time) released in 1997 (and produced at the incredible Cheiron Studios by Denniz Pop and Max Martin of Britney Spears, Ace of Base, Backstreet Boys, etc. fame). She was Swedish and later went on to do a bunch of work with Royksopp in the 2000s and 2010s among many other things. Both were great songs. I remember people coming up to request their favourite song "Show Me Love", I'd always have to make sure to check which version they meant or I'd have an irate punter seeking me out a few minutes later. Ironically, another song called Show Me Love was released in 2015 by a German DJ - Robin Schulz. I really came to hate it when people requested any of them. BTW, I agree that Love for Love was another fantastic song by Robyn Stone from one of my favourite dance music eras.
Y’all need to listen to some Halloween type music!! Some of the heaviest of metal songs! And maybe do a video reacting to the top 10 scariest music videos!!
Yes, very surprising they haven't covered Toni Braxton, Karyn White, Pebbles, and even more Sheena Easton. Sheena had 14 Top 40 hits from the early 80's to early 90's, and they've only covered her first hit. After Prince worked with Sheena and later, L.A. Reid and Babyface, she just had so many styles of music to dive into. She had a beautiful voice. Hopefully they'll get more into all these awesome women!
Without DJ Frankie Knuckles and his Chicago House Music scene we wouldn’t of had the opportunity of being given a dance hit like this with such a deep baseline and vocals RIP Frankie 🙏
and WBMX, the radio station in Chicago which played 3-4 hours of house every Friday and Saturday night in the early 80s. Those mixes made it to cassette tapes and those cassettes went across America as people went off to college.
I❤️ HOUSE MUSIC!! To be in the Clubs during the early 90's was ABSOLUTELY magical!! I genuinely feel sorry for people who missed out!! So many nights just dancing & partying with your friends. I can't tell you how much I miss it & all the fun we had. I still love House Music to this day. I hipe you guys continue down this path. Blackbox ~ "Everybody Dance Now" should be next on your journey.
I remember the first time I heard this, I was stationed in Pensacola, FL over at NAS. There was a dance club downtown called the Office and the dance floor was packed. You could not help but get out of the floor and dance!!!
I love Crystal Waters. She was one of my favorite female artist!!! She is talking about homeless lady!!! This song was in the dance clubs a lot!!! You guys should check "Pure Love" by Crystal Waters. Crystal Waters mixes Jazz cords with house music....House Music was BIG in the 90's .... which was Hip-Hop, Jazz, and Funk Music combined to make you dance..also a ittle Disco in there too. Good reaction.
Recently watched their documentary Who Killed The KLF. Had no idea they did that Doctor Who tune. They were quite wacky. As an old raver knowing the sounds but never really knowing where they came from it was a good watch.
Omigoodness. I was JUST thinking the same thing! "Scooby Doo, where are you?" 😂Someone told me that Crystal Waters was NOT impressed with it. So sorry, but I laughed back then, and again just thinking about it. #yabbadabbadoo
@@honeybrown1997 I just watched a Crystal Waters interview on TH-cam, she said she's ok with it now, and can laugh about it, it made her an extra $100,000 in record sales. Her biggest dissatisfaction with the parody, was that she had 2 young kids at the time, and she had to deal with the fallout from the video. Her kids were teased and picked on at school... and we know brutal kids can be at teasing.
David Morales always used to tell the story of when he played this in the club for the first time & people just lost their minds. Absolute dance anthem.
This song is such a vibe. I was in junior high at the time but sometimes I wish I’d been a young adult in the early 90s just so I could go to the clubs and experience young adult culture I only heard about or saw on TV. You’ve definitely done Paula Abdul and Janet Jackson from this time period. “Rush, Rush” was 1991 and while Janet’s Rhythm Nation album came out in 1989, I feel like the actual single “Rhythm Nation” didn’t drop until 1990. Edit: My cat is named La De Da after this song. 😂 I got her when she was about a year old from a coworker so I didn’t name her, but I did keep the name
This is one of my favs of the 90s. I used to see and speak to the homeless woman with the red lipstick nearly every morning. She always complimented my outfit for work and was very pleasant. I'll never forget her🤗🤗
You also have to check out her song 100% Pure Love. I believe she's related to jazz singer/actress Ethel Waters. More 90s dance music C+c music factory - gonna make you sweat (everybody dance now), do you wanna get funky, things that make you go hmmm, here we go (let’s rock & roll); Kristine w (90s, dance/house/ she plays saxophone) - feel what you want, one more try, land of the living, stronger, some lovin’, I’ll be your light, fly again, save my soul, the wonder of it all.
Its not often I get to mention game show trivia, but her song "Come on Down" has her sampling the theme to The Price is Right. absolute bop, that'un is.
Hi Jay! That title of T.I.'s song "Why You Wanna" (go and do that), he got that from Q-Tip, by the way; from A Tribe Called Quest's song, "Find A Way" of their 'The Low End Theory' album. Tip says in that song, "Now why you wanna go and do that love, huh?". Check it out when you get a chance in your free time. :)
Wow. This song blew up on radio, in the clubs (and MTV!) when it came out in '91. It's still poppin'! And it is a message song, which wasn't unusual in the early 90's, as AIDS and homelessness were hot button issues of the times.
Part of the early 90s House music phenomenon. 1 track that was very epic at the time was rozallas everybody's free, which is definitely worth a listen.
I'm buzzing for them to dig into this era. The clubs, raves and Ibiza holidays were just outstanding! None of the epic tracks from then would be out of place in a DJ set today 👌🏼
this is one of THE BEST house songs!! i was lucky to move to nyc in '89 when this came out, it was played everywhere--& we even went to M*A*R*S!! which was a huge nite club at the time . . .
1. Even though I was alive and aware of this song when it came out, this may be the first time I've ever actually heard it from start to end. 2. I keep hearing the "In Living Color" parody in my head, which I've seen a million times.
The 90s was a great era in Music for Dance Music, Soul and also Alternative Rock!! More 90s Dance Hits.. C&C Music Factory Gonna Make You Sweat, Black Box- Everybody Everybody... there's so many more!!
This song was said to be about a homeless woman who used to be here in DC where I live. She used to be downtown near Connecticut ave standing outside some shopping stores singing and she always had her makeup done ! You guys will probably also like “Finally” by CeCe Peniston. Oh and I think Jay should here Janet Jackson’s “Got Til” It’s Gone” . I think that “Why you wanna go and do that” hook might be from that song rapped by Q Tip who was featured on the track.
She would be in front of McPherson Sq Metro stop. Used to see and hear her all the time. I could be mistaken but I think Crystal worked a federal job or an office job nearby and encountered her that way. I am sure she moved from spot to spot but I remember her at McP and I think over by Metro Center but am positive about McPherson. She was very nice, both the lady and CW. DC was super dangerous then but had one hell of a music scene with dj's like both Deep Dish Boys, Karl Matthews (rip), Mike Meachem, Scott Henry, Hutchy (the Eric Hilton...18th Street Lounge after Exodus in Down Under Club...crew were all dope.). Earic Patten, Lieven DeGeyndt, Reggie Love, Mandril...so many, so talented.
I love that Amber's figured out how to dance to Late 80's early 90's House music, which is to just Bob side to side while looking like you don't care. "I have better things to do, but I just choose to dance"
You gotta check out “Strike it Up” by Black Box, “Sweet Dreams” and “Be My Lover” by La Bouche, “Don’t Stop Movin’” by Livin’ Joy, “Set You Free (Fever Mix)” by Planet Soul, “The Power” by SNAP! and “Get Up (Before the Night is Over)” by Technotronic such an era 💖🪩🔥
Where's a time machine when you need one? Thanks again Jay and Amber for taking me back home 😊.guys check out a club song called Love So Special by Ceybil Jefferies (1990)
Of course you've already done some '90s dance. Off the top of my head: Corona with "The Rhythm of the Night", "Rhythm Is A Dancer" by SNAP and Robin S with "Show Me Love". Next suggestion: "Feel What You Want" by Kristine W from 1994. It's a powerful song with soulful vocals. A number-one club hit in both the UK and the US.
Crystal Waters had 12 songs to her credit go to #1 on the club charts among others including “100% Pure Love”, “Say...If You Feel Alright”, “What I Need” and “Just A Freak” featuring Dennis Rodman from the Chicago Bulls.
Had this on a compilation album, that also had Seal's Crazy and You've Got The Love by The Source ft. Candi Staton, that I would listen to on the way to/from school on my Walkman. Great nostalgia, guys. Thanks for uploading!
Good to hear a dance song ,this was a bit of a 90's classic. If you really want to push the boat out how about The KLF and 'What time is Love' or '3AM Eternal'-Colin Ward
YES!!! Danced heavily to this one! Haunting and a JAM at the same time; still play it. Next Crystal Waters song: “100 Percent Pure Love”; the amazing actor Michael K. Williams, “Omar” in “The Wire” choreographed the video and dances in it as well
An Aussie living in London in early 90s clubbing was awesome - many more bangers like this. 70s 80s music was peak but the club music in early 90s and late 90s 2000s was wow.
A few suggestions for more 90s dance songs I don't think you've done: I Like To Move It Move It - Real 2 Real Let Me Be Your Fantasy - Baby D Dreamer - Livin' Joy The Key, The Secret - The Urban Cookie Collective Ooh Way... Just A Little Bit - Gina G It's My Life - Dr Alban Don't Call Me Baby - Madison Avenue Where Love Lives - Allison Limerick (just thinking about it you'll know I Like To Move It Move It from the Madagascar movies)
The song is about Ms. Waters great aunt Ethel Waters who was one of the first black American vocalists to appear in mainstream Hollywood musicals. Chrystal was with her aunt and Ethel was making the sound that Chrystal put in the song. The Wayans did a parody of this video on their show (In Living Color). It's extremely funny and good.
Crystal Waters - 100% Pure Love This takes me back to the clubs. And I agree with the others on Black Box, C+C Music KLF - 3 A.M. Eternal Mark Morrison - Return of the Mack ATC - Around the World (La La La La La) Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone Darude - Sandstorm Black Box - Ride on Time
This song really defines the late 80’s/early 90’s deep house movement and its transition from back-alley, underground, Chicago-based to an internationally recognized club genre. It’s the perfect example - perhaps, maybe even - the pinnacle of its period.
There is a thread here among the comments, about some viewers wanting Jay and Amber to react to more R & B music videos and songs. I’ll go ahead and make some R & B music requests of my own. I believe that “Money (That’s What I Want)”, by Barrett Strong, has been reacted to, but Jay and Amber could also react to The Beatles’ 1963 cover of the song (their producer, George Martin, plays the piano on the song). They should also react to the 1967 promotional film clip for “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”, by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. Jay and Amber should react to The Supremes TV performance of their hit song, “Stone Love” on the dance music program, “Soul Train”. I am not sure whether or not they have reacted to the Chaka Khan and Rufus song, “Tell Me Something Good”, but if they have not done so, that is another option. Any music video by George Benson would be a good choice to make. Music videos by Jody Watley or Cece Peniston are good choices as well. Sade has been reacted to a lot here, for very good reasons, as she and her group have a great body of music in their catalog. I would like to see more reactions to Anita Baker music videos. Years ago on MTV, I watched Babyface sing and play an acoustic guitar during a “Spring Break” week. Perhaps Jay and Amber could react to one of his music videos. I hope that these R & B suggestions will help the both of you out.
100% PURE LOVE is the ultimate Crystal Waters hit. And believe me...from the start of the cowbell beat kicking in til the last faded notes of the chorus, Jay will get what he wants.
I hear that beat drop with the cowbell and I instantly forget where I am..ready to work it down!!!
Yes!!!!
I love her music but 100% is the BEST!!!
I love 1990s house music. I grew up on it. "Gypsy Woman" is one of my favorite songs from this genre. The organ riff is iconic. I own a copy of the CD maxi-single, which includes a 7+ minute extended version, an a capella version, and a few other cool remixes.

Grew up on '90s house too and yep lmao house piano is what its about!! String of Life, Someday, Where Love Lives etc etc even Vogue
For more 90s dance:
Black Box - 'Everybody Everbody' and 'Strike It Up'
C+C Music Factory - 'Gonna Make You Sweat', 'Here We Go' and 'Do You Wanna Get Funky' (the last one is when they finally worked with Martha Wash AND put her on camera)
Also, please, PLEASE get into more 90s R&B (be it dance, New Jack Swing, slow jams, etc) with Tony Toni Toné with 'It Feels Good'
BLACK BOX!!!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️❤️
Both those bands had Martha Wash from The Weathergirls singing, even though she was not credited
th-cam.com/video/A32f15HG46k/w-d-xo.html
I think Tony Toni Toné are doing a new album!!!
If they are doing Black Box, Right on Time is a must

Back in the day 😂😂😂 I play this every other day 💪💪💪💃💃💃💃💃 I'm still jamming
Clubs used to mix this song in or out of Robin S. “Show Me Love” and CeCe Peniston’s “Finally”. Two more great 90s dance hits.
Lisa Stansfield’s Around the World
@@David_Theisen That one is awsome
Amber and Jay have missed the entire LA/BabyFace era. They dominated with Pebbles, Toni Braxton, Karyn White, New Edition.
OMG, yes, Karyn White! And early TLC - I don't think Amber knows anything before their Fan Mail album.
I tried I suggested alot of those Artist.
Yes They Did!!!! 👍🏿
Right? I can't believe they haven't done Toni Braxton yet!
Yes, very surprising they haven't covered Toni Braxton, Karyn White, Pebbles, and even more Sheena Easton.

RIP the legend Frankie Knuckles, couldn't agree more 🙌🏻
In Living Color’s parody of this song is stuck in my head
Omg yea. If anyone out there hasn't seen the parody it's on TH-cam. Crystal wasn't happy about it.
The parody is a must-watch! It was so on point, I still get the giggles when I watch it.
I love the parody!
I like it better than the original song.
@@ericdaniel74She's cool with it now. The parody actually sold a lot of records. She says she made an extra $100000 because of it 😂
I'll never run outta dongs 100 channels yabba Dabba dee
"You sure do" by Strike is another classic 90s dance banger
You have done 90s dance songs. Rhythm Is A Dancer and Another Night come to mind.
This song ruled my Summer the year it came out. And everyone elses.
OMG I'm so glad you guys finally did this one! 100% Pure Love is also amazing!

I have this jam on 12 inch. Absolutely one of the FINEST club anthems of the 1990s WITHOUT QUESTION!!!!!👊
One of the greatest mainstream house tracks of that era....Iconic record. Kept the dance floors PACKED.

Early 90's House Hit. There were alot of great house cuts in the late 80's to the early - mid 90's.

2. I keep hearing the "In Living Color" parody in my head, which I've seen a million times.
Was glad you figured out TI sampled this song ‘Why You Wanna’.
Also try Robin S, ‘Show me Love’ for 90’s dance cut
The 90s was a great era in Music for Dance Music, Soul and also Alternative Rock!! More 90s Dance Hits.. C&C Music Factory Gonna Make You Sweat, Black Box- Everybody Everybody... there's so many more!!
If your doing women in the 90s, let's hear some Fiona Apple and Erykah Badu.

You guys gotta do Janet Jackson “If”!!!!!!! 90’s Janet! Top Choreography, Top Video, Top Song, Top Style!!
This was a long time banger in the days
You gotta check out “Strike it Up” by Black Box, “Sweet Dreams” and “Be My Lover” by La Bouche, “Don’t Stop Movin’” by Livin’ Joy, “Set You Free (Fever Mix)” by Planet Soul, “The Power” by SNAP! and “Get Up (Before the Night is Over)” by Technotronic such an era 💖🪩🔥
KLF "3AM Enternal"
That is supposed to be “3 AM Eternal”. :-)
You did do Snap's "Rhythm Is a Dancer" which is definitely 90s dance.
My favorite song by Crystal Waters is "100% Pure Love" tho.
‘pump up the jam’ is a great upbeat one to chair dance to!
So many great DJ remixes if this track burning up dance floors across the world 🌎
100% pure love and makin happy
Where's a time machine when you need one? Thanks again Jay and Amber for taking me back home 😊.guys check out a club song called Love So Special by Ceybil Jefferies (1990)
A lot of late 90s Japanese video games used this sample or something similar.
Of course you've already done some '90s dance. Off the top of my head: Corona with "The Rhythm of the Night", "Rhythm Is A Dancer" by SNAP and Robin S with "Show Me Love". Next suggestion: "Feel What You Want" by Kristine W from 1994. It's a powerful song with soulful vocals. A number-one club hit in both the UK and the US.
This will blow you away, Jay - T.I sampled THAT lyric from Q-Tip in Janet Jackson’s song “Got Til It’s Gone.”
Crystal Waters had 12 songs to her credit go to #1 on the club charts among others including “100% Pure Love”, “Say...If You Feel Alright”, “What I Need” and “Just A Freak” featuring Dennis Rodman from the Chicago Bulls.
I cant watch this video without thinking of the" In Living Color" parody of this video.
Had this on a compilation album, that also had Seal's Crazy and You've Got The Love by The Source ft. Candi Staton, that I would listen to on the way to/from school on my Walkman. Great nostalgia, guys. Thanks for uploading!
You guys have to see “In Living Color Parody of Crystal Waters- Gypsy Woman.””
Hilarious...
Good to hear a dance song ,this was a bit of a 90's classic. If you really want to push the boat out how about The KLF and 'What time is Love' or '3AM Eternal'-Colin Ward
THIS! KLF is amazing and 3am Eternal with Tammy Wynette is da Bomb! (Do the kids still say that 😅)
'Justified and Ancient'. Love this video!
@@edier4057 I used to know that album by heart…clearly I need to brush up on it. 30+ years does a number on the memory
You guys can't even imagine how powerful and unrepeatable 90s disco music was, and this was one of those
YES!!! Danced heavily to this one! Haunting and a JAM at the same time; still play it. Next Crystal Waters song: “100 Percent Pure Love”; the amazing actor Michael K. Williams, “Omar” in “The Wire” choreographed the video and dances in it as well
Ah man I'll be singing this all day now!
Luv this video her voice she's great ❤
An Aussie living in London in early 90s clubbing was awesome - many more bangers like this. 70s 80s music was peak but the club music in early 90s and late 90s 2000s was wow.
The beat is Salsa - the dominant beat in most dance hits from 1988 to 1995
"100% Pure Love" is the one by Crystal Waters you need to react to. If that one doesn't get your dancing, nothing will
A few suggestions for more 90s dance songs I don't think you've done:
I Like To Move It Move It - Real 2 Real
Let Me Be Your Fantasy - Baby D
Dreamer - Livin' Joy
The Key, The Secret - The Urban Cookie Collective
Ooh Way... Just A Little Bit - Gina G
It's My Life - Dr Alban
Don't Call Me Baby - Madison Avenue
Where Love Lives - Allison Limerick
(just thinking about it you'll know I Like To Move It Move It from the Madagascar movies)
That one song is Ooh Ah….Just A Little Bit! It was probably an autocorrect error!! Not yours! LOL
The song is about Ms. Waters great aunt Ethel Waters who was one of the first black American vocalists to appear in mainstream Hollywood musicals. Chrystal was with her aunt and Ethel was making the sound that Chrystal put in the song. The Wayans did a parody of this video on their show (In Living Color). It's extremely funny and good.
Crystal Waters - 100% Pure Love
This takes me back to the clubs. And I agree with the others on Black Box, C+C Music
KLF - 3 A.M. Eternal
Mark Morrison - Return of the Mack
ATC - Around the World (La La La La La)
Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone
Darude - Sandstorm
Black Box - Ride on Time
Still got this one on vinyl. ☺
You will love 100% Pure Love which I think was her biggest hit. When the song started in the clubs people ran to get out there.
This song really defines the late 80’s/early 90’s deep house movement and its transition from back-alley, underground, Chicago-based to an internationally recognized club genre. It’s the perfect example - perhaps, maybe even - the pinnacle of its period.
no it isnt, and it certainly isnt deep house
you actually listened to a house track ( be it a commercial one ), and enjoyed it - who'd have thunk it! 🤣
There is a thread here among the comments, about some viewers wanting Jay and Amber to react to more R & B music videos and songs.
I’ll go ahead and make some R & B music requests of my own. I believe that “Money (That’s What I Want)”, by Barrett Strong, has been reacted to, but Jay and Amber could also react to The Beatles’ 1963 cover of the song (their producer, George Martin, plays the piano on the song).
They should also react to the 1967 promotional film clip for “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”, by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.
Jay and Amber should react to The Supremes TV performance of their hit song, “Stone Love” on the dance music program, “Soul Train”.
I am not sure whether or not they have reacted to the Chaka Khan and Rufus song, “Tell Me Something Good”, but if they have not done so, that is another option. Any music video by George Benson would be a good choice to make. Music videos by Jody Watley or Cece Peniston are good choices as well. Sade has been reacted to a lot here, for very good reasons, as she and her group have a great body of music in their catalog. I would like to see more reactions to Anita Baker music videos. Years ago on MTV, I watched Babyface sing and play an acoustic guitar during a “Spring Break” week. Perhaps Jay and Amber could react to one of his music videos.
I hope that these R & B suggestions will help the both of you out.
