Tender Kisses is still a banger to this day!!
Yes
Yes ma’am.. I just heard that song past Saturday and sung all of the words with her lol..
Its a classic
Absolutely...I think that's Her signature.
@@hanunahwest9102 agreed
Sounds like she did the right thing in her career. She accomplished her goals and bowed out of the industry gracefully. And kept her personal life as private as possible
Stevie Wonder is a musical genius, in addition to Prince. How would any true Artist walk away from doing what they love? It's in their blood, not in Tracie's blood. James "Jimmy Jam" Harris & Terry Lewis have also never quit their careers - because they love what they do. Janet has been in the game, solidified with her 3rd LP, "CONTROL" & has outlasted many artists including Tracie
@@treswann6822 the industry is not kind to ALL artists. A lot of artist lose their passion for music when they can't create the content they want..Sometimes it's about what's in the best interest for the artist. Not the Record labels. A lot of these companies do not push for other artists like the people you are mentioning. Who wants to leave when they're considered washed up? Then they start getting they have a point to prove by staying.. Jimmy jam and Terry are mostly producers that's steady income for them for a lifetime. Even though Janet holds her own she is still Michael Jackson's sister. Yes Stevie wonder is a legend but his career slowed down as well. Nobody stays on top forever. Save a private person do not care about being on top that care about their peace and well being. The goal should always be retirement
@@treswann6822 Her Parents Screwed her opportunity up Old head thinking .. Just a FYI she is my cousin VIA marriage, SO I know a bit od detail. I was just in waterloo a couple months back...thats all I have to say about that.
@@jboogiethebeat the point I was expressing was taken outta context, initially: There was & always be room for great music. Her husband co-produced her 3rd album. It didn't accomplish what I anticipated nor did meet many listeners' standards. Darkchild handled Brandy & Monica, Timbaland was the sonic vision for Aaliyah & Missy, BABYFACE was consumed with Toni, soundtracks, etc...Jam & Lewis were pushing Angel, Mint Condition, Mary J. Boyz II Men, etc...so, Tim & Bob, Dre & Vidal, James Poyser would have been a million times better than 2 wanna be SOUL producers. Mariah was delivering since 1990, not just because she can sing but writing & production. Tracie's parents produce?
I totally agree. She probably saw the signs of satanism in the industry and ran.
Digging the new intro. Glad to hear she's doing well for herself especially by avoiding social media and not selling her soul for fame. Respect.....
No one gets a deal in Hellyweird without selling their souls, unfortunately 🙈
@@diasporareturnee That's for sure
True
Same way as did Stacy Lattisaw!!
@@alldat06 What happened to Stacy?
“Tender Kisses blown awayyyyy/tender kisses/gone tomorrow gooone today/tender kisses/bye babyyy/byeee baaaaabayy” I love that song 🎶 I remember she sang it on Family Matters ❤️
My boyfriend put me on to this song!
@@princeamirthemalemermaid7178 good ol 90’s slow jam 😌🎶
That's my song!!!!!🔥🔥🔥
@@derrickhammond727 mine too 🎶😊
I literally read that in key lol 😂 love this song
I’m a glad tracie got out of the Industry just in time.
So right my man 👍
Saved herself and her sanity
@@christines1821 u said it
Amen! She did it right. 💯
No kidding
I’ve always liked her and glad she’s stayed true to herself and not let the industry get to her. ❤️🙏🏾
There will never be an era like the 90’s!! The best era ever!!!
Tracie and Shanice had the late 80’s and early 90’s young R&B on lock. They were both on Family Matters. “Hide and Seek,” “This House,” “Love Me,” and “Tender Kisses” were jams. Third album “Tracie” was a slept on banger. “If You Wanna Get Down,” “Feelin’ You,” “All About You,” “Still in My Heart,” “No Matter,” and “Nothing Broken But My Heart” were hitters. Tracie also sang Backing vocals on Eve’s “Satisfaction,” Kanye and Jay-Z “Never Let Me Down,” and Twista and Kanye “Slow Jamz.” She did her thing. Tracie and Aaliyah resemble.
Those were all jams...but for me “Love Me” was on another level. It was on repeat every day.
You are a fan for sure!
I remember her singing Still in My Heart in All That. She had to change some of the lyrics of course...
Thank you, I may have missed some of these, but I appreciate the insight! I will check them out 🙏🏽☺️
What about Stacie Lattisaw?
Yes 🙌🏼 the unsung stories I never knew I needed
Absolutely, I've been saying this for years!
Yes!
They need to do an Unsung on her. Really talented artist.
My favorite songs by her are "Love Me" and "It's All About You"
I use to play Love Me on repeat. Had it on cassette with the instrumental version also.
It’s All About You is still 🔥🔥🔥
Yes ma’am Tracie! The writing was on point back then. I ate up every lyric in Tender Kisses, so ahead of her time 😍😍😍😍
Indeed
Me too! That song was earth-shaking!
I live in Waterloo & speak with her from time to time. She never has acted like someone who thinks people should know who she is. She is so, so kind & we always have great conversation when I see her. She’s such a genuine person❤
Tracie was such a underrated album!
Her third album should’ve gained more attention than it got. “Still in My Heart” is one of my favorites. I think she was an act that suffered from image transition. There was a significant amount of years between her 2nd and 3rd albums and I think by the time she came back out, there was already a new wave of r&b girls (Brandy, Aaliyah, Mya, Monica) dominating the game. Very unfortunate because she’s very talented. Also fun fact: she sings the hook on Eve’s “Satisfaction” song. I never knew that till recent.
Oh wow I didn't even know she was on that eve song that's my jam
@@user-oe2ov7du8l yesss! She’s uncredited though. I always thought it was Eve singing.
@@jtaylor875 loI all these years I thought it was eve voice as well
Did not know that was her!!! Thanks for the info. That funky bass kills on Eve's song.
@ J Taylor - I think you're dead on. Tracie had the goods. I was onto her from 'Star Search.' I recognized the image transition problem, in much the same way this was a setback for another contemporary of Tracie's - Shanice Wilson. Another powerhouse of a singer whose image seemed to change with every album. Their marketing departments were conflicted as to how to present them to the public.
I remember meeting Tracie in 1991 at a United Nations children's celebration. I stared at her in complete and total awe as she autographed her photo. Good times!
This House
Love Me
Tender Kisses…. She was beyond talented. A dope voice.
Eddie Winslow’s legend was generated from “Tender Kisses” 🤣🤣
Waldo came in the window like a cannon ball lmfao
😂😂😂
@@marvinbennett8384 I forgot about that part 😂
😂
🤣🤣🤣
I still bump Tender Kisses....That song still goes hard.....❤❤❤
Her speaking mannerisms sound very Aaliyah-esques… Calm, clear, & collected.
Yes. I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees the similarities. They both had a "jazzy" mature sound, too.
I forgot. They were both on Star Search.
I noticed that too
They are all blood related..:
@@antoinettedalton5308 oh really? I never knew that . Do you know in what ways they’re tied? Cousins I’m assuming?
I respect her to not get "ruined" by the business. Gotta love her.
She was everything when I was growing up as a kid. This was pre Brandy Norwood, Aaliyah, and Monica who came out thereafter but Tracie opened the door for that both her and shanice.
I always liked her. Tender Kisses was the shizzle
Love her too.
I agree. 'Love Me' was equally a great ballad.
Tracie periodts
💯 I was speaking of her a few days ago...such a coincidence!
It Still Slaps Today & Beyond...
Tracie Spencer's third album is so underrated
I still listen to her music!!! She is someone who can really sing.
What’s unique about Tracie is how she was able to successfully transition between decades. Her first hit was in 88’ her second was in 90’ She was was able to adjust her style and music to compete with other women artist of the 90’s. Her innovation kept her relevant well into the late 90’s. I’m glad she was able to transition later on in life to become a wife and a mother. She is truly a legend.
"Symptoms of True Love" Love that song. And I love how she's not on social media, Good for you Tracy.
Loved that song!!
That was my jam. I think that’s when my 8 year old self developed my crush on her.
Thanks Let's Get To The Root for showing us the vulnerable human side of these stars that we admire. Tracie is a true talented singer and a humble gorgeous soul.
Waterloo, Iowa's finest. She's a cool a** person. My mom was cool with her pops.
Tracie Spencer walked so Aaliyah could run and the rest of these girls could fly.
That was so beautifully eloquently stated thank you for that
well said 👍
I love that and YOU'RE SO RIGHT. ❤️❤️
Aaliyah & Brandy released their albums in 1994/1995...there was no album from Tracie since 1990. Shanice was promoting her album after 1990 as well. She has one hit in urban music " Tender Kisses"...Brandy's multi-platinum debut had no equal.
@@treswann6822 …that wasn’t the point. The point is that she was the FIRST so she opened a door for more young teen r&b girls to come through. It’s not about who did it better, later.
I still listen to tender kisses! Her voice is so pure and beautiful 😊
She's one of the more wholesome musicians from the 90s I admired her when she was in her prime I wish she'd do something else rather it be music or acting we need someone like her today
Who's still listening to "Its all about you" in 2021 ?
TRACIE SPENCER WAS IMMACULATELY CLASSY.. I MISS HER ❤️
Her voice is so strong and powerful. A true talent.
Love her and her music, I'm so glad she didn't sell out to the industry.
I remember "All About You" being in heavy rotation on Bet, I loved the video. Zendaya resembles her.
Omg YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!! I remember the album cover & when this video popped up in my newsfeed, I said to myself that it looked & her name sounded familiar to me (I grew up in the 90s). I looked her up & it’s all about you popped out to me. I played the song & instantly all of the lyrics came back to remembrance!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
I loooooved that song!
I had the single on a cd.
Remember when they used to have singles on cds?
Nah, more like she could be Aaliyah’s big sister
Zendaya looks more white n wishes she was as pretty as Tracie
@@thebuttermilkgirlisback YUPP! I had it too and recorded my own version from the instrumental mix with my karaoke machine. I miss those times desperately. ❤️
That will always be one of my favorite Family Matters episodes of all time!!
Omggg I love herrrr 🥰😁😍😁this house and still in my heart are my favorite songs
When the intro to "Love Me" comes on....I can feel the 90s. "We can leave the WHOLE world, the WHOLE world behind..." YES! Great job, young lady, for being a part of the soundtrack of MY life.
I am happy for her and glad that she is doing well. I always loved her music. And still listen to the last album
Doing well and no social media, what a smart woman, glad she didn't sell out
Best thing she could have done ✔️
She needs an unsung episode
👍👍👍👍 Thanks for this!, I met her in 98' while I was wondering at Music Land and she was such a humble person.
I LOVED Tracie Spencer and wondered what happened to her all these years. Tracie was definitely one of the artists who could still be relevant today. Miss her wish her well
Darius McCrary blazed that Tender Kisses duet! 🔥 🔥
This House is a banger as well!
It is....🥰😘😋♥️❤️
Beanie Gee
Couldn't agree more!! The message of the song is still relevant today❤️❤️
The video for This House was on heavy rotation on MTV, BET, and The Box!!
I lived this young lady. I’m so glad she got out before the industry destroyed her. I remember when she was on Star Search.
I've been a huge fan of Tracie since the late 80's! I still have all of her albums on CD.🤗
I still like her music 👍🏾💯
Tracie Spencer was underrated I always remember the Tender Kisses episode of Family Matters when she guest star as herself but when you listen to her song now it still sounds good.
I absolutely would Love to see another project from this talented woman!
My favorite song by her is Love me ❤️ I’m about to go listen to it now 😊
I love Tracie😍 Symptoms of true love is my favorite 🎼 I couldn't find her when I went to Waterloo 🧐Tender kisses is another favorite.Its good to know that she's living a nice quiet life.
I was just listening to 'All About You' the other day. I love that song!
Cool new and longer intro. 😁❤️ I was introduced to this adorable talent with her smash “Symptoms Of True Love”. And that Stock Aiken & Waterman remix……..EPIC! But it wasn’t until “This House” that I became hooked on her music. Taking long breaks didn’t help her career. But it helped her personally. Kept her grounded and to hold on to what’s important in life. Much love to you, Narrator Queen. 😍😍😍😍😍
I glad to hear she happy and living her life!! I remember her songs and wondered what happened to her 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾❤️❤️❤️
Wow thanks for talking about Tracie Spencer a wonderful singer and my crush back in the day very beautiful woman keep up the great work👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
She always did seem like she had a great upbringing, glad to know she’s still doing well
💯🙏😇
Love Tracie! Jammed her music all through my Military times. But..."Love me"❤ and her Video. Omg! Thank you for the update. Glad all is well with her. Still listening to her in 2021.
I have all of Tracie's cd's!!! Her songs were the soundtrack to my childhood!!! Good times :)
She's such a Beautiful Lady with a Beautiful Voice. I wished she had stayed around in the music industry longer. But she did what she felt was right for herself. Best wishes to Tracie Spencer.
One of the most talented singers alive!
Man, Tracie Spencer was my first celebrity crush! I just knew she sung that song Tender Kisses to me. I was so envious of Eddie Winslow when she appeared on Family Matters, LOL 😆
I have always loved tracy! Tender kisses, Symptoms of true love, hide & seek, and OMG her rendition of IMAGINE!! I'm glad she's now acting... I just watched her last night playing a detective. I have tried looking up the name of the movie but it's no where on the net. I'm just glad she didn't let the industry ruin her, like so many others have....
THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS!!!! I think about her often 👍😇
THIS HOUSE is my favorite from her music. She had such a way of making you learn the sound of her voice and you knew it was TRACIE SPENCER when you heard her on the radio. It's good to know she is still with us and doing well with being married with children. I wish all the best for her in life. Thank you, L.G.T.T.R., for making this video. I'll be back for more of your content.
Tracie was my childhood crush. Good to know that she's doing well with a family of her own.
Thank you as I wondered what happened to her she was one of my favs back in the days
Talented beyond her years. Tracie Spencer takes me back to my innocence. 😁
I love the new intro 🙌🏾!
Thank you! 😉
@@JuicyPopEntertainment what happened to Britney Spears? 😩
Love the first intro but this is cool too!
I’ve been waiting on this video!!!!
I loved that song Tender Kisses and the episode on Family Matters with Eddie. Good for her that she is doing well and happy!!
Her “Tracie” album is a Soulsock & karlin Gem🔥🔥
Yes 🙌🏼
Facts
Yeah they put that BUMP on it
She should have chosen wiser. They did Toni braxton's "I Love Me Some Him" But Babyface did "FIND A MAN", David Foster did "Unbreak My Heart" Darkchild was hammering hit after hit. That same thing happened to Karyn White choosing Jam & Lewis over the duo who delivered her biggest "SUPER WOMAN" smash
@@treswann6822 I see what you’re saying but even though it didn’t chart as high it was a beautifully put together piece of time ,and who was produced superwoman?
One of my favorite singers. Thanks for info.❤
I miss Tracie! I am a life long Iowan and when I heard of a teen like me who had released an album out of Waterloo, I bought it immediately, and I bought all of her others. She is such a talent.
Omg I've always wondered whatever happened to her Ty for the upload
Tracie is still one of my fav's till this day im still singing i have a song to sing and love me she is my favorite female artist of all time
*I'm a thugged out man....but I mumble lovey dovey stuff, at times. I was mumbling a baritone version of Tender Kisses, a few days ago*
👀... Ok thug lol
@@Beautifully_Chaotic3109 - I would've said homewrecker but that's not an actual profession that involves a resume (sigh)
I LOL'd so hard over this comment! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@JuicyPopEntertainment - Well I'm glad you laughed. I wonder if you would laugh harder, if you saw how I looked ? (newborn baby smile)
You funny
Yasss!!!!❤️❤️❤️
The industry is the devil playground. It's all a smoke screen. So many talented people.
One of my absolute favs!!!!
Still in my heart is still on rotation to this day! Apparently she got fed up with the industry abd left.
Wait. I didn't know she did all of that. I am so happy for her and that her family allowed her to live a normal life.
I always liked her... she is living proof that a true strong artist doesn't need that industry to be successful. When you stand up for yourself the industry doesn't like you what I love about her is she has talents that the industry can never take from her and because of that she will always be successful
Wow! I was literally singing tender kisses yesterday, while being told to shut up, by family members.
Keep singing! I can’t sing and be trying my damndest to sing! While being😊 told to shut the f up and I keep on singing😂
Was waiting for this! 👍🏾
Will we be getting Tevin Campbell?
Hi Traci, I hope you’re doing well. You never let the industry turn you away from your sweet soul as I remember spending time with you and Tramaine at my pool in Woodland Hills back in the 90’s.
I’m glad you’re doing well.
Blessings
Yes she was so underrated ! Amazing artist glad you did one on her .
I always loved Tracie. I hope we see her again someday.
Please do one on Jesse Powell
Tracie was dope! This is an excellent video.👏🏾
That's great she truly was one of the last great talents of the '90s she always carried herself with decency and respect
A talented, beautiful,normal person, mom, and strong woman who didn’t let the industry and fame eat her soul. Probably one of the most successful stories in the long run. God Bless her.
I wonder if Aaliyah looked up to her as an artist.
Me toooo. Now u know what I was bout to say
I would only guess there was a slight possibility. Aaliyah sang with her uncle's wife, Gladys Knight at a young age, then there's the fact that R.K. handled Aaliyah's debut. Tracie's 2nd album was released on August 1990, Aaliyah's 1st was released on May of 94 so...Aaliyah didn't put forth any material that targeted the white demographic like Tracie. I only like 2 songs by Tracie. For tracie's 3rd outing I think it was not wise for her to use the white producers/husband for the bulk of it. They were overrated - Soulshock? You can't shock what you don't have lol
One of the most CLASSIEST ladies that was in the industry. Also: she wasn’t fucking with the Illuminati, another reason why she left.
I believe you're right.
Black people are so superstitious..."the illuminati" ugh...educate yourself please
I'm glad Tracie Spencer is doing well.
Man this woman had my heart with Tender Kisses. Wherever you are Tracie we love you n hope your happy.
Thank God. No drugs. No crazy behaviour. No issues.
