DJ Professor Dan Rates & Reviews Tunes From His Yoof! M People were pure class. Some of that class came from the music. Strongly influenced by the acid jazz movement that was bubbling up at the time - but which would soon lose its way and turn into Jamiroqui - “Moving On Up” doesn’t just have one sizzling saxophone solo, it has two!! But most of their class came from Heather Small and her extremely tall hair. Heather’s voice was previously famous as being the one on the second, slightly inferior version of “Ride On Time”, the one Black Box made when they had to re-record it after Loleatta Holloway got a little peeved they’d sampled an old acapella record of hers. With M People though, Heather’s voice would soon become amongst the most recognizable on the planet, and Heather would have to put up with drunk random strangers coming up to her in the street and impersonating her to her face. They were never very good at it. Heather doesn’t need your bad impersonations. She was too good for that. She sang kiss-off anthems about how she was too good for that, dumping a guy who, despite men having walked in space, can't even find her place! Clearly the man is useless. You’re right Heather, you can do so much better. “Moving On Up” gets 9 out of 10.
seriously i think it doesn't exist on the waiting list anymore! anyway? i listen to it to please! i dance to this catchy music! you can also enjoy it don't be shy it's free for everyone **sans déconner je penser qu'elle n'existe plus sur la Liste d'attente ! bref ?je l'écoute pour faire plaisir ! je danse sur cette musique entraînante !vous pouvez aussi en profiter ne vous gêner pas c'est gratuit pour tout le monde
I like this song and I love her unique voice. When you listen Todd Terry remix you realize that her voice fits perfectly in house music compositions...
Heather just appeared on a tv quiz show called Pointless Celebrities . She has not aged a bit, 30 years later, still got the killer smile and sweet voice
"Move right out of here... go on pack your bags. Who do you think you are?" Good song choice by Liz Truss. Really captures the mood of the tory government.
From the BBC 5th October 2022 … “The use of Moving On Up as introductory music for the prime minster has left its creators "livid" and frustrated. Liz Truss walked on to M People's 1993 hit before addressing the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham [2022] earlier. The Manchester group's founder Mike Pickering said he hoped Ms Truss took note of the lyrics, as it was "about, 'go and pack your bags and get out'".”
@@desertcoliseum i never understood and will never understand why real cool 90s HOUSE gotta be g.. music. IMO it's a lie. i was there in the 90s (germany) and (almost) everyone was straight. maybe some other places on earth were different. or there were other clubs for these people that idk.
This is one of my favorite songs and they should be playing on the airwaves now!!! Love the beat, Love the words, Love her voice. Makes me want to get up and dance!!! Just love it. Susan
Here. I am 44 years old. In 90' this song was an anthem in the pubs and Disco. The night Started when the DJ puts this epical Song and everybody started to dance and shake hands
Whereas all the divorced guys have sung songs about being left destitute, no kids, no house, no money, no future...but as long as all the avaricious women are ok that's all that matters...you make me vomit.
I heard this before it was released. In a club. The best club in the world at the time called Vague in Leed's UK, early 1993! I remember my mates and me singing it on the way home in Leeds train station. What a song!
I declare this song to most beautiful women in the world Cleopatra LUV ya soul sister forever I will see you in heaven sister luv ya cheekie 💜😇🕯️⚡🌧️❄️🌩️🎶🎸✨👄
To all the beautiful and strong women in the world God bless you all thankyou JESUS and Al mighty God and arc angel Michael amen luv you All forever 💜🕯️😇👄🎶
Absolutely right. She has one of the greatest voice I used to travel every other week London to NY. In the US she never got the fame she deserved just because of the jealousy or music industries strange policy I assumed. In fact there are many more great British musicians never got the fame the same way after 90's.. That made me really upset back in time.
Heather Small is an icon, and this 1994 song is a hallmark of thAT decade! A Classic for all time - stands well next to anything from the 60s 70s or 80s, and especially the aughts! Thank you for posting this wonderful music/singer/song/group/video/DANCE JAM - DAVEDJ

Damn I remember this group. Dance music was so awesome in the 90s, just like the rock, alternative, hip-hop, etc. Now everything sounds the same. Where's that damn time machine?..
One of the greatest voices GB has ever had. Can't believe it was used by the Conservative party today, although they only used the chorus because the beginning was practically about Liz Truss to a tee. Even the right know a great tune though HA!.
Sasha Banks or Mercedes whichever she goes by if to AEW ought to use this music for her new intro after making her debut there after Claudio formerly Cesaro had Return To the Mack Mark Morrison’s music as his intro entrance music.
Thumbs up if you are still enjoying this in 2025 ❤
thumbs on up
90s music still rules, still enjoying this one 😊
Always !

Don't think those lyrics are around anymore ha ha!
This was the “I will survive” of the 90’s!
Underrated comment.
Totally agree! Those 2 songs have similar messages.

So tasty 🎉

She did, Elektra was still hyped up from that lollipop 🍭 she was sucking on last week
@@dee_dee_dior not the lollipop 😂😂😂. Hmmmmm Sticky
She was mediocre. Elektra did much better.
@@geenalawrence8338 Milan captured that song Elektra was not lip syncing nor in time of the song
@@dee_dee_dior Your opinion is as awful as your profile pic sis
The anthem for anyone who finally moves out of a difficult home or romantic situation :-)
I've always thought of it as my anthem to keep me motivated while moving through life and achieving things big and small
Definitely 👍😎
Work life situation for me. Thanks.

"Pointless: Celebrities". yeah not celebrities that are pointless fir anyone who was wondering
She is pure CLASS.

They definitely don't make bangers like this anymore. Classic and original. No remake nothing.
You do know the band was making remakes as well during this era as well? Don't Look Any Further and Itchycoo Park were both remakes.

They both did amazing, Vanity gave a cool hair choreography and elecktra fucking jump up and down, they did break dance and went of the stage, Icon
I was 8 years old when this came out in 1993 and I still listen to it now at 39 lol
I was 5 and I still love this song, gives feelings of good times😊
i was 7 and im currently listening to this for the first time(? im not sure anymore) and some parts sounds really familiar
Why can’t we have decent music now!!!
This is gay club 90's music.

i love Heather😘🍓🎹🎷
Anyone who was around in the early 90s will remember how MASSIVE this was.
Born in 97' but severely wonder how massive it was during that particular period of time. How nostalgic it definitely is after all.
I thought it came out in the late 90s that’s how popular it is and that’s what i still remember playing on the radio, i was born in 91.

Here. I am 44 years old. In 90' this song was an anthem in the pubs and Disco. The night Started when the DJ puts this epical Song and everybody started to dance and shake hands
Go one Mr miyagi
The song is very liberating when you break up with a jerk! Girl power!! yay!!
All women that are divorced or now single have sung this with heart n soul!
Whereas all the divorced guys have sung songs about being left destitute, no kids, no house, no money, no future...but as long as all the avaricious women are ok that's all that matters...you make me vomit.
Listening to this now in 2025
Had the privilege of seeing them live in New Zealand during the 90s best Decision
Still listen to m people most days. Incredible group
I wasn’t born back then but this song it’s so good, omg.
Fantastic song and the lyrics are great and what a powerful voice :) and listen to 'search for the hero' by m.poeple as well it's class :)
Great song and group Madchester forever was born in the 80s boommmm albums were great check out bizzare fruit album
I heard this before it was released. In a club. The best club in the world at the time called Vague in Leed's UK, early 1993! I remember my mates and me singing it on the way home in Leeds train station. What a song!
Born 85. Good Times growing up with M People

I first herd this I early 94
Amazing song, God will answer your prayers stay encouraged.
Already 30 years???Not yesterday??
I just seen 2:22 on the alarm clock. On TV of course😂
Heather small is so amazing very underated vocalist she should be a bigger star
I agree. She has a great voice, very distinctive.
Absolutely right. She has one of the greatest voice

Absolutely she should be massive in the west end
@@sirrisenturk7736 more likely that eurodance never got very popular in the US, beside clubs. (even though this one is more disco than anything)
She is! She's the lead singer of M People. Guarantee all of the U.K. Loves heather
Gracias rupaul, por hacerme conocer tremenda joya
It a good song and l like 90's music
Memories ❤
British talent 🏴🇬🇧
The 90’s are making a comeback it’s time to get this song playing on air again 💃🏾💃🏾
This song still sounds great. I miss M People. This song came out my first year of college back in 1993.
