I was band leader and musical director for James Brown (31 years) We were playing the Budweiser summer jams in Atlanta in the late 1980’s Three Days and several other groups. We closed (Traditionally the headliner closes the show) and among the lineup was Atlantic Star! Chastain park was the venue and we had just arrived from Europe the day before. Thankfully all of our equipment arrived in one piece and nothing was missing. While they were unpacking the truck I was just hanging out backstage and I met the female singer for Atlantic Starr. What an absolutely living doll she was! They were red hot and she was delightful! I gave her a little bit of brotherly advice about this business and how shady it is but just to enjoy every minute of it while you have the momentum and make a lot of memories and make a lot of new friends. In the end you probably won’t have much money because of all the corruption and all of the thieves wearing suits but they can never take away your fame, I will never forget her because she was drinking a vanilla Coke! I think that was the first day Coca-Cola released vanilla Coke and cherry Coke. I don’t know what happened to her over the years but she made her mark in history. There are only three of us left from the James Brown stage employees and musicians, Time marches on!
You are so right. That song is so perfect. Incredible. Like they tapped into something that already existed in nature and they created something based on natural perfection.
Tears in my eyes. It was 30 plus years ago. I met her in Toronto and we were always listening to this song together. So sad that we couldn't work out and go make a family but have tons of good memories for me to cherish. I want to dedicate this song to her again.
Best song ever. What a true classics and the performance here is amazing. Love the song through and through and play it loads of times. I have dedicated this song to so many over the years especially in my younger days when dating was my specialty smiles. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful song and bringing many good memories flooding back not only for the times gone by but for refreshing my memory of the happy times i had as a young dater x
I dedicated this song for my future husband. Come to me my sweet, let's go make a family 👪 😍 i always crying bcoz i'm so happy whenever i heard this song
Wow、this is exactly what I saw and heard when they played at Billboard Live Tokyo. I still vividly remember that because I was deeply moved with the words at the beginning. It really touched my heart and soul. Wanna go see them again.
I love Atlantic Starr! A class act band . I’ve been a fan from the very beginning , welcome newer members . Melessa’s voice is so beautiful and effortless .
Always es simplemente Amor sublime por Siempre viene de la epoca de los Sueños para muchos que al escucharla en los 80 s no abrazaba nuestros corazones
I remember that night a BB KINGS in Times Square. Check out my best friend and one of Atlantic Starr’s original band members, Dan Atherton That Slamming Drummer! #straightouttaharlem
such an underrated band to come out of the 80s. they were perfect for the decade
