Wild Orchid was a trio of woefully underrated artists with an incredible gift for song writing, harmonies and powerhouse vocals--but that wasn't all. They were (and still are!) drop dead gorgeous and absolutely charismatic. It's a shame they fell under the radar of so many, but their considerable talent and music will live in perpetuity.
Wild Orchid was a fabulous group of female vocalists. Renee is my cousin and she and her family (all musicians) live in California. Unfortunately, she no longer sings professionally, but does real estate now. They are a wonderful and talented family!
Yes they wore this video out. Great song I've been looking for it for years. Ran across a Fergie documentary and mentioned this group. I was shocked didn't know that was Fergie I had been looking for lol
Please make a comeback. These three vocal giants are worth today's artistry. The harmony would be ripe today given their voice has reach the matured stage. 2022 onwards are more about women vocalists teaching the world about singing beyond fame but inspiring the current generation of all ages that we can make it through the storms. Music unites. #wildorchidsforever
Fun Fact: Wild Orchid and I were signed to the same record label in the late 90's. RCA records. I was slated to be a competitor against Boys to Men and other rnb performers but the label eventually dropped me because they didn't know where to place my sound as I was more rock and alternative.
Those background vocals tho ... I never heard this and it should've been ALL over the radio. They should've been WAAAAAAAAAAAY bigger than they were - they had skills to pay the bills!!
I remember back in the my sis and i were talking on the phone about this great girl group we just saw singing on mtv. She was talking about Wild Orchid, and i was talking about Spice Girls. lol
Saw them perform at a festival in Albany in June 1997 and again in Toronto in August. Had bought the album after hearing this song. Got to chat with them after first show and I think they were surprised that I knew all their songs and came from Canada to see them. They were very sweet.
They were too white for black audiences and too black sounding for white audiences. Spice Girls isn't a good comparison, they were straight up pop music. Wild Orchid was much more R&B.
Both Good Answers. I'm Mad At Myself Personally. I Loved Loved Love This Song And Until Now Oct 2018 Thought The Spice Girls Sung It. When I Would Look For It I Wondered Why It Wouldn't Come Up. I Forgot The Title But Never Forgot The Sound...Duh Right. Well Never Too Late.
@@amandam4315 The song Finally did have a Wild Orchid connection and was the best song on Duchess other than her cover of Barracuda. Those were the only two songs that I liked on Duchess. I liked the Wild Orchid albums a lot more.
The vocality of these ladies instruments (voices) was phenomenal. They had their own sound. Soulful, sultry, and just plain good! I miss true R & B, miss real love songs. Now the lyrics are so dang nasty they are just offensive. Who wants to make out to that?! Everyone sounds the same or like Beyonce. Miss these ladies together.
Here in 2020 and I just needed to hear this song. I don’t think many people of the younger generation know this song but I love it. I’m 16 almost 17. This song/group is so underrated. This song just has so much soul and I love Fergie and like the soul in her voice whewwww💕
FaytLinegod That's true (not receiving the recognition), but I don't think it was the Spice Girls that eclipsed them though. In other words, there were so many '90s R&B girl groups back in those day, that Wild Orchid style of singing sound simular to the others. When I first heard this song by them back in the mid '90s, I seriously thought it was Mariah Carey doing a collaboration or featuring EnVogue.
+MrJuly1990ish LMFAOOOOOOO...that is thee most random collaboration.. Mariah Carey & Envogue!! but yes boo u r totally correct. this group was dope AS FUCK THOUGH!!
The Spice Girls were straight pop. Wild Orchid was R&B style of pop. They got stuck in the middle...too white for black audiences and too black sounding for white ones. I loved them though. Three gorgeous females that could SANG.
I don't understand why they didn't become MEGA-STARS? Beauty:Check, Talent:Check, Good harmonies:Check, Great Solo Vocals: Check. SOMEONE PLEASE TELL WHY THEY DID NOT BLOW UP!!!
So alone And this room feels so cold No one to care and no one to hold Yeah, the Lord knows That I'm needing somebody like you Just like you Can you see the passion burning in my eyes? Do you sense the rush you give my heart And if you knew the secret way I feel for you Would you come running to me or would you turn away? At night I pray With hope and faith As I lay me down to sleep I pray together we will be And there will come a time You'll be mine All mine And I'll be yours always But until that day comes At night I pray Should I feel these emotions inside me Should I reveal what's locked up in my soul I'm so afraid But it's something that you've got to know How I want to touch you every time you're near I long to feel your body next to mine And if you knew the secret love I have for you Would you come running to me or would you turn away? At night I pray With hope and faith As I lay me down to sleep I pray together we will be And there will come a time You'll be mine All mine And I'll be yours always But until that day comes At night I pray If all my prayers were answered Our hearts would be enraptured We would find our heaven inside each other's arms This lonely room would finally see the sun shine through But until that day Every night I'll pray I'll get down on my knees I'll get down on my knees and pray... At night I pray With hope and faith As I lay me down to sleep I pray together we will be And there will come a time You'll be mine All mine And I'll be yours always But until that day comes At night I pray
I always felt Wild Orchid was the white version of Brownstone lol!! I remember watching this on the Box and especially noticing the Taylor Dane lookalike with the incredibly powerful voice. Ironic huh?:D
+Aisha Staggers Yup...she is...always talented...kind of the underlooked Britney Spears(without the Janet like flare)...but grew into the pop industry just as well to create her own name in her own lane.. .
+Zakiya Luqman Kind of like, imagine Britney as the female member of the Black Eyed Peas and Fergie being an."Oops I Did It Again" pop princess...could work either way, couldn't it?
Only 2 of them were chief. The other one was an actress though. She made appearances on all-time classic shows like The Golden Girls & Married With Children
2024 - I still remember this group. There was a lot of competition in the female vocals, but I feel they weren't given half a chance.

Wild Orchid was amazing - their voices were "siren like"; I could be easily lulled to sleep. And let us not forget how gorgeous they were!
They had the look they had great voices why were they bigger 😠😩😍😘 love them anyway. I think fergie should do a Album with them in 2016 or in 2017 😊 get back together please
2024... Anyone still enjoy listening to this beautiful song?
Yasssss!
Ugh this mid 90s makeup is LIFE
Truest statement ever made!🙌🙌🙌
Brown lipstick, thin eyebrows, shimmer
@@LittleLulubee right, hehehehe
obviously the make-up people from "Showgirls" worked their magic here....
When lipliner was everything
Every time I hear this I can hear Toni Braxtons ‘Breathe Again’.
This is a beautiful, powerful, soulful ballad. Love the harmonies.
Amaan Amira yess same
Definitely has that LA Reid and Babyface sound. Not sure if they produced this.
@@brentduanefoster just looked and nope! I'm shocked. One of my favorite songs ever.
same opinion Amaan.
Hmmm
Still listening in 2024
yess

Drugs played a role in their story as well
Well, Fergie made it ok.
Wild Orchid was a fabulous group of female vocalists. Renee is my cousin and she and her family (all musicians) live in California. Unfortunately, she no longer sings professionally, but does real estate now. They are a wonderful and talented family!
+Susan Filippone Where is her office so I can meet her
I think Fergie's meth problem was why they did not make it bigger together. They all had the voices for sure & image,looks for sure.
Renee was always very talented and pretty. She reminded me a bit of Rita Wilson, Tom Hanks' wife.
Which one is Renee?
@@steamyboy69 The tall brunette I believe. The blond is Fergie (or Stacy as she was known as at the time) and the redhead is Stephanie.
This song used to come on the Box all the time. KiDS inc. represent! Very soulful banger that never got its true respect.
Yes they wore this video out. Great song I've been looking for it for years. Ran across a Fergie documentary and mentioned this group. I was shocked didn't know that was Fergie I had been looking for lol
SO TRUE. THE WHOLE ALBUM WAS VERY GOOD AND WORTHY OF RADIO PLAY THEN AND NOW❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fergie sounds INCREDIBLE here. LOVE IT!!!!
Le daba vida acostarse con Justin Timberlake que sólo tenía 16 años
She exceled Angelina Jolie here in cuteness)
This song is sooo underrated!!! Long live my childhood 🙌
I wore Their CD out back in High School!! Great Memories!!
OK they were slept on.
Lol I wore all their cassettes out..
Ain’t it still so good :) very talented ladies. We all know where fergie went I wonder where the rest of them went.
Please make a comeback. These three vocal giants are worth today's artistry. The harmony would be ripe today given their voice has reach the matured stage. 2022 onwards are more about women vocalists teaching the world about singing beyond fame but inspiring the current generation of all ages that we can make it through the storms.

I use to order this on "THE BOX" and trouble when the bill came. lol
+rosiland smith me tooo!!!!! lolol
I wore this song out on The Box, I ended up getting the single and the album! I was so hyped they were performing on the Rupaul show back in 96 lol
rosiland smith I remember when they would play this on The Box I would watch it everytime it was on.
Lmao hell yeah!!
What is The Box?
One of my all-time favorite songs.....and, in my opinion, one of the most underrated songs ever!
No Doubt! Well said.
Let me guess..u work for Joyce Leslie, as a manager since 1997. U still own a a halter top, Steve Madden Baby Janes & have a barbed wire tattoo?
I think the same too! Love it so much!
@@theexile6605 oppppppoopoo
Early Fergi, superstar.. This track is pure 🔥🔥🔥
yeah, goosebumps all over, they wrote MUSIC in 90s...what an era we lost :'-((
All three are my beautiful angels! Unbelievable voices and talented!
I bought this album when it came out and really followed their career. Love their vocals and harmonies!
1996
Fergie's voice is sooooooo uniqueeeee in the 90s~ woohoo... this girl deserves to maintain that kind of sound that we all miss today.
Fun Fact: Wild Orchid and I were signed to the same record label in the late 90's. RCA records. I was slated to be a competitor against Boys to Men and other rnb performers but the label eventually dropped me because they didn't know where to place my sound as I was more rock and alternative.
No worries,you must be good even now.
Did you release anything
Those background vocals tho ... I never heard this and it should've been ALL over the radio. They should've been WAAAAAAAAAAAY bigger than they were - they had skills to pay the bills!!
Yes!
This song was played regularly on BLACK radio in D.C. & they performed on Soul Train (BLACK MUSIC TV program).
@@treswann6822 wow
Definitely made it to Adult contemporary radio stations
@@SeanSwann1 I listened to mostly R&B stations, so I didn't hear it, but I know AC stations kept it in heavy rotation
I remember back in the my sis and i were talking on the phone about this great girl group we just saw singing on mtv. She was talking about Wild Orchid, and i was talking about Spice Girls. lol
i disagree Wild Orchids is FIRE what are you talking about.
Saw them perform at a festival in Albany in June 1997 and again in Toronto in August. Had bought the album after hearing this song. Got to chat with them after first show and I think they were surprised that I knew all their songs and came from Canada to see them. They were very sweet.
That PRAAAAYYYYYYY!! Is everything!
Stephanie (the brunette) has a beautiful soulful voice to me!
This hits 1998 real hard
Fergie has an outstanding voice and looks amazing. Good song btw!
Beauty, harmony, and soul-I can't figure why this group didn't make it.
+Vince P Because media was pushing spice girls at the time & to me it was not even close. Wild Orchid was way better.
They were too white for black audiences and too black sounding for white audiences. Spice Girls isn't a good comparison, they were straight up pop music. Wild Orchid was much more R&B.
I think It was a lot of competition. Pop music was everything at that time.

ahhh, fergie left.
Wow Fergie! She’s a powerhouse. I think she should’ve reconnected with her soulful roots when she got her big solo break from BEP.
Ikr... at least one song... lol
Her meth addiction took away that ability to sing sadly.
@@amandam4315 The song Finally did have a Wild Orchid connection and was the best song on Duchess other than her cover of Barracuda. Those were the only two songs that I liked on Duchess. I liked the Wild Orchid albums a lot more.
Correction: Dutchess not Duchess. Stefanie Ridel co-wrote Finally and the song Losing My Ground.
John Legend also co-wrote and produced Finally. Anyhow, it was the closest thing to Wild Orchid Fergie has done.
This brings back so many memories. Always will love this group
I miss music like this they don't make it like this no more
Fergie looks good with platinum color in her hair.
She's actually a natural blonde. You can see it on Kids Incorporated. The platinum isn't natural, but she did have blonde hair.
they can sang!
The vocality of these ladies instruments (voices) was phenomenal. They had their own sound. Soulful, sultry, and just plain good! I miss true R & B, miss real love songs. Now the lyrics are so dang nasty they are just offensive. Who wants to make out to that?! Everyone sounds the same or like Beyonce. Miss these ladies together.
I sure hope this video would show up on MTV Classic
Omg there makeup is so pretty 😍😍😍 and there voices are powerful and beautiful ✨🙌
this jawn has a mariah carey type feel to it
I definitely hear it too
Here in 2020 and I just needed to hear this song. I don’t think many people of the younger generation know this song but I love it. I’m 16 almost 17. This song/group is so underrated. This song just has so much soul and I love Fergie and like the soul in her voice whewwww💕
This was my JAM! So nice to find it again.
Fergie was only around 20-21 when she sang this.. Wow..
And she was hooked on METH!
JBatts41 we know
JBatts41 thank god she ain't now
She’s been singing since she was little
LittleLulubee kids incorporated!!
My friends and I loved watching Wild Orchid's At Night I Pray
Wild Orchid never got the recognition they deserved--getting eclipsed by the Spice Girls.

and they were so much better!
Very similar to OG3NE from the neatherlands
I don't understand why they didn't become MEGA-STARS? Beauty:Check, Talent:Check, Good harmonies:Check, Great Solo Vocals: Check. SOMEONE PLEASE TELL WHY THEY DID NOT BLOW UP!!!
Because you can't have this wonderful sound come out of non black mouths😢😢😢😢😢😢
So alone
And this room feels so cold
No one to care and no one to hold
Yeah, the Lord knows
That I'm needing somebody like you
Just like you
Can you see the passion burning in my eyes?
Do you sense the rush you give my heart
And if you knew the secret way I feel for you
Would you come running to me or would you turn away?
At night I pray
With hope and faith
As I lay me down to sleep
I pray together we will be
And there will come a time
You'll be mine
All mine
And I'll be yours always
But until that day comes
At night I pray
Should I feel these emotions inside me
Should I reveal what's locked up in my soul
I'm so afraid
But it's something that you've got to know
How I want to touch you every time you're near
I long to feel your body next to mine
And if you knew the secret love I have for you
Would you come running to me or would you turn away?
At night I pray
With hope and faith
As I lay me down to sleep
I pray together we will be
And there will come a time
You'll be mine
All mine
And I'll be yours always
But until that day comes
At night I pray
If all my prayers were answered
Our hearts would be enraptured
We would find our heaven inside each other's arms
This lonely room would finally see the sun shine through
But until that day
Every night I'll pray
I'll get down on my knees
I'll get down on my knees and pray...
At night I pray
With hope and faith
As I lay me down to sleep
I pray together we will be
And there will come a time
You'll be mine
All mine
And I'll be yours always
But until that day comes
At night I pray
THANK U
I would give anything to go back to the 90's.....they don't make music like this anymore
I played this cassette so many times, I'm really surprised the tape didn't break. I've still got it. Pure sex appeal, yes?
Please bring the 90’s back❤️
Love this! Them girls was bad!!! They were so underrated! 💯🔥
I think I've listened to this song at least 50 times in the past month
My favorite group from when I was a teenager
This song is fabulous ❤
At Night I Pray one of my favorite songs!
Stacy Ferguson so beautiful and her voice all their voices jam!
Bro. What the fuck. I've never heard this song before and I'm just awestruck because each voice is so fucking beautiful and strong.
I loveeeeeed them omg they need a reunion tour or something
Why she sound better here than now. She shoulda kept singing like this.
My best friend and I said the exact same thing! she was better with Wild Orchid than BEP
Meth is a hellava drug!
I was a fan of kids inc so finding them together here is a nice blessing
I always felt Wild Orchid was the white version of Brownstone lol!! I remember watching this on the Box and especially noticing the Taylor Dane lookalike with the incredibly powerful voice. Ironic huh?:D
I totally agree! They can blow!
That's actually Fergie from Black Eyed Peas.
+Aisha Staggers Yup...she is...always talented...kind of the underlooked Britney Spears(without the Janet like flare)...but grew into the pop industry just as well to create her own name in her own lane..
.
+Zakiya Luqman Kind of like, imagine Britney as the female member of the Black Eyed Peas and Fergie being an."Oops I Did It Again" pop princess...could work either way, couldn't it?
+Zakiya Luqman Only difference is...Fergie having a much stronger singing vocal...
Lots of Soul love these girls classic.
These was some singing white girls!!! I loved them!! I loved Fergie long time!!!
👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾 music soul mate i gotta find u on ig or something
nitadaceo723
lolI be on here!! Holla anytime! lol
+NellyBelle You and I have super similar taste in music and you are a local girl.. You are on almost EVERY video I go to, lol
+Chanel Champ lol that's what I said lol
It's cool. I'm a HUGE music-head so I appreciate people who share that addiction, lol
just close your eyes, open your ears and enjoy their talent....just beautiful
I remember this, old and rare!!! luv it! Luv fergie before she was fergie too
Beautiful Strong Voices & Harmonies!
I still luv this song.
They need an unsung episode, lol
it's officially 2019 and I am still here! and who are too?
This whole album was 🔥 !!!
This cd was the bomb
Bought this single CD back in my college year, still one of my favorite song!
They all have amazing voices!🥰
i remember thinking damn these girls are gorgeous ! but damn they're talented and underrated!~
I loved these pure vocals ❣️
Hecka people don't even know Fergie was n this group 1st. This song always reminds me of my teenage years. So nostalgic ❤
Sound like EternaL (UK R&B GospeL Girlgroup)..very talented.
eternal love I remember Eternal!
*Thats what I said !!!*
Fergie was giving a Taylor Dayne mixed with Karen Mulder(model) vibe.
Still playing this in 2020
My favorite
I was sophisticated listening to this in middle school. I was in love with their music.
I would definitely like to see Fergie and the other two women get back together and start doing music again. Wild orchid was a great band.
I still jam to this song! :)
This was my group. I wanted so much more from them. This song has stuck with me since I heard its release.
I was in 14 & I bought their album. who knows they stop exist since then.
fergie remind me of Taylor dayne voice 😍
Wow Mamma Mia!! FERGIE!!
remerbers me a song of Christina Aguilera. I like this song. Ferg sings amazing!
still a huge guilty pleasure for me to this day
No one should legally be this HOT..., Looks or musicwise...,
Am I the only old person on here that knows all three ladies were originally from the show Kids Incorporated?
Only two of them came from Kids, Inc.
Only 2 of them were chief. The other one was an actress though. She made appearances on all-time classic shows like The Golden Girls & Married With Children
Don't forget the great pretenders too.
@@AnastasiaLUVSU
I'm glad Fergie finally made it big, it's fitting of her BIG voice!
saw this when i watched her on Oprahs Next Chapter. Its amazing
Me too!
OMG THIS WAS MY JAM! TAG THE LIKE BUTTON IF U WAS A TEEN IN THE 90S OBSESSED WITH THIS SONG!
2024 - I still remember this group. There was a lot of competition in the female vocals, but I feel they weren't given half a chance. You had a lot of competition at this time - Boy Krazy, Mariah Carey, Lucious Jackson, Billie Rae Martin, Rockell, to name a few of them. Wild Orchid was amazing - their voices were "siren like"; I could be easily lulled to sleep. And let us not forget how gorgeous they were!
I love this song.
I had this cassette tape as a teenager lol I freaking loved them where did they gooo😔
🔥 RENEE SANDSTROM 😘💕😘
The voices were on check beautiful hollar
90s. so damn 90s.
I always loved her
Oh gosh I have always loved this song, makes me cry
They had the look they had great voices why were they bigger 😠😩😍😘 love them anyway. I think fergie should do a Album with them in 2016 or in 2017 😊 get back together please
love this
I love this too
I love this song
I think Renee gets the short end of the stick here. The video editor lets her drift out of frame at times even when all three are singing.
Young fergie is so pretty
Before she got hooked on crystal meth for 2 years
Get 'em Fergie!
