Well done!
where can i hear that Bam demo of weak i can't find it.
I think I would love to hear a Charlie Wilson version of Weak! And I still play You're Always on My Mind at least once a week 😆
Charlie Would've probably did a Great Job but Sht He & The Gap Band got Enough Hits. 😄
You're always on my mind. Is a great song.
Yess I love you’re always on my mind idk something about it just puts me in a good mood
Uncle Charlie would MURDER that song!
Ohhh 😮 that’s a good one ❤
Chante moore was....
And still is fine as hell.
She was one of the first women I felt true attraction to as a young man...
It was Her, the singer from jade with the light eyes...
And coco fromswv.
Take a cold shower lol
Yeah, she was that deal.
I can 109% co-sign this. I was a very young man with her CD LOL
@@SavWarfare only 109?!😂
Omg yes Chante and Coko were my girl crushes
Oh...Okay! I read the title & was like: 😲 One of the group members of SWV was singing that song about Chantae Moore??!! 🤦
OKAY! I was like i have to watxh this one.
Most songs sung by women are written by men.... And they say men are not intouch with their feminine side..🤷🏾♂️
Babyface is my fav!
@@torimichelexo
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Nahhh. Nothing feminine about a man writing music for women. It's just like a man artist painting a picture of a woman. A true artist is a true artist, musically or artistically. I write hip hop and rb. I never wrote an rock-'n'-roll or country song before...but if I want to...I can.
As it turn out the male/female is in all of us weather the sex that is expressed physically. The left side of the body is female and the right side of the body is male. We’re just not taught that in school in general but this is a deeper conversation.
I say that all the time✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
That lil Charlie Wilson "oooweee" got me dying tho.
😂😂😂 me tooo thou
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 same
I was rollin 🤣
Oooweee im dying laughing 🤣
9 times out of 10 they are singing Brian's feelings
😂😂 That part
Their feelings are put to his words. Every great singer puts their touch on the words. Melodies, runs, enunciation and so on. It takes alot to make a hit.
Most songs written by men are about women. Ronnie Spector of the 60s girls group Ronettes, sang songs written about herself by their producer Phil Spector who was in love with her and eventually ended up marrying her. A nightmare of a marriage for her.
That's a lie. This is pushing some b.s.
What happened with Ronnie's marriage?
@@hottiemarkable Ronnie Spector's story about her marriage is easy to find.
@@hottiemarkable Phil Spector was crazy as shit
This really made my day. How sweet he had a crush on Chanté and wrote a song about her. Plus I always liked his solo on Always on my mind but never knew of him. More of our writers need a spotlight.
Chante had folks writing songs over her!!!
Lord!!! This makes so much sense.
I remember seeing Club Nouveau at Henry J Kaiser center in Oakland, CA
I'm 68 and I love SWV...
Ooh girl you look great too
I still play You're Always On My Mind to this day, and it's crazy because if I concentrate hard enough I can hear Charlie Wilson singing SWV songs
Same!
Maybe it’s because of the chorus is sounding like “You can’t keep running in and outta my life” song. 🤷🏾♀️
It's based on Yearnin' by Gap Band
@@djgoldfingernyc I couldn’t think of the song, but that’s it. Thanks.
I JUST realized Your Always in my mind samples Yearning for your love 😂
Love hearing all the ways these different artist are connected in the industry.
I would like to hear a Chante Moore version of Weak.
Yes!
First home boy can sing and the original sounded just as good as swv

Chante Moore is a bad mama jamma...one more proof.
Chante Moore is that deal! Made dude write a #1 hit song about her. Who knew SWV's "Weak" was written about her.
So was "Anything" "I'm so into you" and "You're always on my mind". Dude was madly in love with her
Brian Morgan wrote 90% of Swv songs
Yup. He wrote Most albums except for Release Some Tension. Missy Elliot wrote that one. It was their lowest selling album in comparison to the ones that BAM wrote.
SURE DID!!!💯💯FAXTS
@@HerMajesty81 Brian Morgan only did "Rain" on Release Some Tension. He initially wrote that song for Brandy's second album Never Say Never but Rodney Jerkins felt like it didn't fit the album
Facts
he got a demo of "Fine Time" He should be a legend in his own rite!!!!!!!! A lot of their songs I feel like he sung better than S.W.V.!!!
Met Chante Moore as a High School Senior in the Foxhills Mall (LA)1 Sunday afternoon, She was wearing a catsuit and trench coat! 🎯💣💥...a young singing group of boys Named Immature was there, they had just started making a big name for themselves!
I met immature in 2004 when they came to my hometown
If I was a man, I’d pass out if I saw that woman in a cat suit!!!!! Good lawd
If/When you're singing along with the song, it's about whomever you're thinking about at that time. It's a good song, and they sing the h*ll out of it
Didn’t surprise me it was written about chante Moore, to this day she’s a freakin bombshell 😍
As I child I was a fan of swv that song had me weak in my knees
Child + weak in the knees, in the same sentence. #ALARMING What were you doing weak in the knees as a child? Living the fast life.
@@RVince-so5vg you’re a weirdo for implying she was fast as a CHILD when she’s literally just making a joke related to the song
I like how informative this mini-doc was. So many things I never knew concerning SWV. The "Anything" remix w/ Wu-Tang has always been my favorite!
It's like that, y'all 😍
This is some good-ass storytelling… it’s crazy how strong black music was during that era from the late 80’s into the early 90’s.
Now Chantae is w Stephan Hill🤣🤣🤣 She keeps a industry man. Weak is about her Crazy
lol
I heard this years ago,that “Weak” was about Chanté Moore. Thanks for uploading this ❤
🙀
@@TheUrbanPrude ?
Knowing this gives me a whole different perspective of the song.
That'll be something if uncle Charlie and swv did a remake to weak that would be awesome
Everybody loves Chante Moore
What a great story for one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS! Thanks for sharing!!! 🙌🏽👏🏽✊🏽
Them "Ooo-weee!!"s by Charlie you kept inserting throughout the video had ME weak 🤣!! Charlie just needs 2 🛑 playing & come out with a song simply titled: "Ooo Weee!" & give his fans what they want 👏🏾!!
But seriously 🥸 . . . I want to HEAR BAM's version now that I've heard a snippet & hear that he can clearly sing. I NEVER knew it was SWV's producer 🧑🏿🦲 🎹🎚🎛🎧🎙that was singing on " You're Always on !y Mind" off their 1st album 🤯! But that's probably cuz I didn't buy the album til YEARS later. Back when CDs 💿 were ✌🏾IN✌🏾 I used 2 ALWAYS reas the liner notes 📝. But for whatever reason, when I finally got their album, I never did read them 🤔 🤷🏾♂️.
😂😂😂😂
Ooo weeeee ft Sauce Walka
@@paypastackz2g328 Who's Sauce Walka?
That ish was so FUNNY!!! 😂😂😭😭
@@2ndedition766 He should do a video with all the times K-Ci 🧑🏿🦲 from Jodeci 😎 sang 🎤 🎶 Ooo Yeah!! 🎶 🤣
I like this song. It is a good song about a crush or first love.
BAM= Brian Alexander Morgan
Chante Moore is so dang fine!
Yo, that's crazy. That song is about Chante Moore? WOW!
Lol yea this is old news. I saw this on the "music choice" TV station which always was spitting interesting facts about artists and the songs. But I did not see a mention of this on SWV is on SWV's Unsung years later. So I asked Brian himself on Instagram and he confirmed that it in fact was for Chanté Moore.
To me it makes sense. Chanté is GORGEOUS N CAN SAAANG her butt off!! She's also a good dancer! She's the total package and he saw it from day one. I'd hope RIGHT IN too if things weren't working out. I'm I'm happy for her current relationship and the fact that she was able to show case her talent n beauty on the Soul Train Awards!
“It’s about time” is the best song on SWV first album! Too bad it didn’t get a single play. A lot of SWV best songs a coko’s best vocals are album cuts that never get performed live by the group!! 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Best song on the album
Big facts 💯💯💯I had it on cassette
Still my favorite album from the 90’s
My favorite swv song is anything because it gets me moving everytime
Right here
You're always on my mind
Fine time
Someone
When this feeling
I am an swv fan and I love all of their music I know all the songs, even when coko went solo I loved those songs
Sunshine
Joy
Endow me
Great story telling!! I did not know the Chante connection to weak. I’m marrying the man the writes a song about me😂
I know this comment old but me to
Especially a song being number 1 and is about you😂❤
I do love what they did. I never knew it was offered to charlie he put them on. No greed in our woods.
I love hearing original demo versions of songs. Before they get all polished up. I always thought Charlie Wilson was on Computer Love but wasn't sure. Charlie rode out the vamp of the song. Thanks for this video.
@circle 88 Media 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Job well done! SWV was one of my favorite childhood girl groups! Thank you so much for this small nugget of information!
I still own that album from waaaaaay back in the day. Love the 90s SWV
This is CRAZY How that Developed & yeah i Remember Dudes Voice but don't Know if He was in the Video & Never really Heard of Him. Crazy how "Weak" Could've ended up Anywhere & the Fact it was Written 4 My MAJOR Crush in them 90's Ms. Chantee Moore!
Coko and Charlie Wilson are so much alike vocally
That's because Charlie Wilson is the vocal blueprint for new jack swing artist. Take a listen to Aaron Hall, R.Kelly, Jodeci, etc you will hear his adlibs, riffs, and harmony style throughout the 80s and 90s
@@jaewilliams9685 I can definitely see that
@@jaewilliams9685 Right! Knew I wasn't the only one that saw this!
Mother harmonies are on point fantastic song ever One gets weak for somebody
This was a good watch
Thanks
This videos mad educational! But G the oweee chop on Charlie Wilson has me in tears 😭😭😭
Lol I can believe it. Chante Moore is beautiful. Taj kinda looked like her back in the day (in the face), dark skinned version. I thought Taj was so pretty back then too.
Dark and lovely... Chocolate...
Hell if I had the talent I would have written a love song to Chante Moore! 🤣 I never knew there was a backstory to the song weak. And I'm very familiar with SWV, Chante Moore and Bam.
This is one of my favorite songs.I never knew this. I had to subscribe after this. ❤
Weak is my favorite song of all time.
Weak is my favorite SUV song! Such a classic!
Your Always On My Mind is that deal!!!
GOOD JOB! THANK YOU. THAT SONG IS SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL.. MY TOP 5 LIST FOR SURE!
Great video...Crazy how they passed on the song at 1st..
Fabulous insider info!😊
Love love love BAM!!!!
Thanks for sharing. Cool to hear the background info for one of my fav sounds of all time.
Thanks for great unknown information ☺️
Thanks for sharing this wonderful history.
Good story and good footage. I always wondered who the male singer in SWV's "you always on my mind" was.
Brian also fooled with Taj as well causing issues with the group.
You sure you don’t mean Kenny Ortega? He messed with Taj..
@@beemocha i remembered it from their show and Coko wouldn't work with him again for that reason. It was a major secret.
Well, I always felt like "Use Your Heart" sounded like it was about a woman, like from a woman 👀 (Or a man to man). 🤷🏽♀️
we don't understand, only pertaining to our realms of heterosexual reality...
That was written and produced by Pharrell
I love that song
@@B_Millieactually by The Neptunes. Both Chad Hugo & Pharrell Williams
@@jmiguelsimpkins it's always one😐 I'm sure you had enough time to respond to this VERY same comment...waiting on that flub. Pharrell wrote the lyrics,Hugo and Chad produced the arrangement...as spoken live UNLV 2005 student union.
Own it. Leave it there.
I always wondered who the male was singing the background vocals. Well now I know 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. That’s one of my favorite songs ( among many others), by SWV. There were so many girl groups that I loved that have parted and gone separate ways. I hate when that happens, so much wasted talent.
I miss the 90s 😢
Yep, I would have written a love song for Chate Moore too, because she is soo fine, as a kid, I could not get enough of her music and when BET started having videos it was on.
Chante Moore is a national treasure, and she must got some great kitty
❤️SWV🏆
This was good. Thanks for the info
Now see, when I saw the title I just assumed it was Leelee who wrote the song about Chante. She tried to hit on me in a club once! And I know, I know, before you guys say it wasn't her...yes... it was. I was in a club in New York (random lady party) and when I told her friend that I wasn't interested, the girl asked me if I knew who she was, and told me she was with SWV. I politely said yes, but I am here with someone. Back in the day, in the City, you ran into a little bit of everybody!
Are u male or female?
@@NOV123 read, she said random lady party.
I believe it, Lelee did say she dipped in the lady pond during her low days.
I believe you. Alot of ppl in the industry either got around or get around. Nothing new under the sun
You really never knew who you would run into in the City.
Damn Alex was gorgeous back in the day but damn dude aged so differently doesn’t even look like the same person. He’s very underrated
That's right give these ppl their flowers.
That was cool!! I actually remembered all of those artists 😊 WOW back in the day baebee 😂
Great job on the video!
Thanks
Chante Moore from the Bay Area San Francisco I would love to do a duet with her and bring back weekend girl by SOS band. I do have a song with v e l l q w a n 17 rounds name of the CD. Only singer. My name is k a s i m. So smooth. Also I am Tupac Shakur inspiration a song from Alice Myers if you play your cards right. We both share the same best friend rap name is the gov aka the governor AKA Joseph flowers from Oakland California I cannot make this s*** up my life have been a movie. Also I met Biggie Smalls at the Eastmont Mall back in the early 1990s he wanted me to talk to P Diddy about me signing a record deal with Bad Boy Records. Real Talk world I never told this to sway. Last time I saw him was at his record release party in Berkeley California at Rasputin's records. He was with our friend Mr Fab and some other man name Chino XL so I met two of Tupac's enemy in Oakland California oh yeah Berkeley
Her name is Alicia Myers
didnt you do a song w/ pac? & double R? Ive heard of you way back salute
Does anyone have the original version sung by Bam?
Dope. Side note: I finally got to work with my CRUSH Chante Moore and her new HUSBAND in 2022…30 years late 😂
You're always on my mind is my favorite song from them and Can We.
My dumbass read the title like which member had a crush on her 💀😂😂😂
That's interesting abd cool story. Thanks
Sactown in the house
Charlie would've still be playing constantly. I try not to speak on here too much. But I'm OKC and Charlie is blood 💯
Yeah I definitely remember this song back in the day.
Awesome video 👍 just subscribed 👍
He sounds like usher the guy from you always on my mind .this before usher even came out
Jams!!!
Yup, found this out as well

Wow. Learned a lot today. Go 'head, SacTown! I didn't know any of this information. Thanks.
Really cute story
My favorite girl of all times
Great Back story
I literally can hear Charlie Wilson singing weak.. wow that would've been amazing too
Downtown my fave song since 7, 29 now 😂 ❤ them.
