Jack caught the vibe (we always snapped to jams like this). 👏🏾 Thank you, SOS. Alicia Myers is underrated but us old schoolers know this, “Say Say Say” and “If You Played Your Cards Right”.✌🏽❤️🖤💚
Another Great one, Sexy Ole School. I remember she was in the funk group One Way, their fav song of mine is Cutie Pie. A nice tribute thanking God for all he's done for her. It is uplifting, thanks Jack.
My grandma and her dad dated for years. He was a good dude. Also Al Hudson is my cousin. Grandma had all their records. Their music made our childhood better….I miss her.
Chante Moore also has a cover of "I want to thank you." Alicia Myers has another song "If you play your cards right" you should check out. Next sampled "If you play your cards right" on "Imagine That." 2Pac attempted to sample "if you play your cards right" on "Playa Cardz Right" but they couldn't clear the sample so Keyshia Cole made a new song out of Pac's verse from that track.
Thanks so much for the info. Embarrassed bc 1) I was a teen when IWTTY was out so I know it and 2) I’m an Abel fan, listened to “Sacrifice” many many times. Never caught the sample until now. 😊
@TheeePinkPanther it wasn't a sample. It was an unauthorized interpolation. There is a difference. Robert Clivillés and David Cole of C&C Music Factory basically ripped off "I want to thank you"
This Is An All Time Claaaaasic Jack 1981 it's Been Played At Every Event You Can Imagine has been Sampled By Hip Hop & R&B Producers Throughout Decades since it's release 🔥🔥🔥💯
Love this. I first heard it sampled on Busta's "Thank You" and I went searching for the original. "I Want to Thank You" was released in 1981, debuted on the Hot Black Singles chart where it ran for 11 weeks, and had heavy rotation in clubs by DJs in the US and the UK.
She was part of a band called One Way This is a classic. Sampled on songs such as Queen Latifah - it's alright Busta rhymes - thank you The weeknd - sacrifice I think Chris Brown also sampled it recently. Kevin McCord, also a member of One Way, wrote this for Alicia Myers. Kevin McCord sued Mariah Carey because "make it happen" sounded similar.
Diddy had a artist name Father Mc they sampled this beat on a song called closer to you I believe it’s Kc and Jojo on the background vocals this is back when Diddy was running Uptown Records plz react to it
I’d love to experience this song in her original voice plus today’s live instruments and mixing / recording studios - I feel it would give it more depth, base, pop, and clarity. Nonetheless, I’m a fan : I can’t get the song to leave my head, literally. 👍🏽🍺
I disagree, but I might be in my own bubble lol. Alicia Myers is revered among everyone I know. Wasn't it like 5 years ago when Busta Rhymes and Q-tip sampled this? Their version was a hit here on the Westcoast.

They were very talented. Detroit has put out some of the best music ever....I'm from ny
Jack hit on one thing that’s lost behind her great vocals: that drummer was absolutely amazing in this song. The way he stayed in pocket was perfect.
Chante Moore also has a cover of "I want to thank you."
Alicia Myers has another song "If you play your cards right" you should check out.

Thank you Sexy Ole school for the request!!!
❤🥰 I love her, she's from the group Al Hudson and One Way 🎶👌🏽👍🏽
A Another 80's Jewel!!!
Hadn't heard this in awhile! Love this song! It is definitely🔥🔥🔥 Great request and reaction! Thanks Jack!
Busts Rhymes sampled this. That’s the first time I found out Busta did production because I thought Kanye did it
1981 I was in high school timeless this was played everywhere 80s baby ♥️♥️♥️💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
Talk about a feel good song! This joint never gets old!
The Weeknd sampled this song for "Sacrifice" from Dawn FM!!!
Chris Brown did too:

Love when Jack dances along to the songs!!!! 🕺🏻
He likes the beat but not the message (tryna hide it).
Busta has a song called Thank You with her singing the chorus and Q Tip is featured in that song.

Song give me goosebumps!
Great reaction, once again Jack, my favorite person online doing reactions
This song was actually early 80s
What a song man. This is another that used to stay in rotation for me
Huge hit back in the day
A great song ❤
This is from 1981. She has another great song called "I Appreciate".
Great song! I always loved when a dj would mix this with "love thang" by first choice.
Dope
Love this song and my favorite sample is Mariah Carey - Make it hapoen.

Qtip, Busta, Kanye sampled this .. straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥
80s bro!
It’s actually a gospel song on the low🙏🏾
Mariah sampled this song for “Make it Happen”.
She more than sampled it. 😁
@@jdfodio Lol. She just changed the lyrics and the beat is faster…
She got sued behind this one.
Underrated song
I disagree, but I might be in my own bubble lol. Alicia Myers is revered among everyone I know. Wasn't it like 5 years ago when Busta Rhymes and Q-tip sampled this? Their version was a hit here on the Westcoast.
@@Camille4Real for real…this is so beloved in Black America it’s almost cliche
Please do if you play your cards right by Alicia myers
I consider this a gospel song. Just listen to the lyrics. Sound like an ode to Jesus.
When soul music sounded too pop!
