Jane Child wrote this song.... and produced it.... and sang lead... and sang back up.... and played bass....and played all percussion....and played all keyboards.... whew.
I think she could've been the female version of Prince with better promotion. Her label gave up on her and that was still important around this time. She did everything herself and did it brilliantly.
‘Til Tuesday Amy Mann vibes from the mid 80’s. Try checking out an Icelandic band The Sugarcubes “Birthday” from the the mid-late 80’s. Stop ducking them lol.
Y'all young bucks making me feel real old right now, sleepin' on Jane Child! This woman was PHENOMENAL, from the moment the debut album dropped in `89, and watching her blow up in `90/`91 with Don't Wanna Fall in Love and Welcome to the Real World. IDWTFIL capitalized on the New Jack Swing beat that was popular of the time. She wrote, produced, and played EVERYTHING you hear, and was once likened as the "female Prince". I really loved the entire self-titled debut album and the esoteric 1993 followup, Here Not There - despite the fact critics gave her NO LOVE for the latter. She was way ahead of her time, and badly missed these days...
Redneck Mullet - "I was a huge part of 80s style." Jane Child Mullet - "Hold my beer." Gotta hand it to Jane Child. Every other person in 2022 has their nose pierced. But in 1989, Jane was one of the trailblazers. Plus, bonus points for the chain connected to her earring. Just, Jane, don't play basketball or stand too close to the subway with that in.
I guess because it was 1990 you could say it still had a bit of the 80s in the mix - although you won't find another artist with hair like hers - or the nose ring. :)
Late 80s pop/r&b female acts: Jane Child, Pebbles, Taylor Dane, Brenda K Starr, Karyn White, Jody Watley, and of course Miss Jackson if you're nasty. You're bringing back so many memories.
This song was incredible when it came out. And she was so visually different for the time. It was eye and ear shocking in the best way. Still jam out to this song.
This song charted on the Billboard Hot 100 on February 10, 1990 and it peaked at number 2 for 3 weeks and this was her first chart single of the 2 she had the other song was Welcome To The Real World.
Holy cow. I haven't heard this song in a long time. This really brings back memories. It's funny, I was thinking all crooners today, and then this threw me for a curve ball! lol Female Friday suggestions real quick - Check out Lindsey Sterling (violin) and you need to get back to Evanescence (Lithium or My Heart is Broken) and Celine Dion (It's All Coming Back to Me Now).
Being a die hard NY'er, the music video always makes me smile, as that is the NYC I grew up in. As an artist, Jane did stand out with her punk looks combined with her soul/rnb/pop vocals. She was famous for a brief time, as alot of artists from the time were. I wonder where she is now, and I hope she's well. 🙂
If you want a little more Canadian female content you might try Alannah Myles (Black Velvet) Jann Arden (Insensitive) Lee Aaron (What You Do To My Body) and of course K.D.Lang (Hallelijah or Crying, Roy Orbison's song) 🥰🇨🇦
Miss Jane Child! This song was played like crazy when I was 19 years 1989 last year of the decade into 1990. It brings back amazing memories those times were so good.
You're missing a real gem until you check out KD Lang, another Canadian songstress, who has an incredible soaring voice. Check out Constant Craving, Miss Chatelaine, Crying, Hallelujah, and Helpless to name but a few.
Had the pleasure of meeting her and we had a long conversation about music theory. Such a beautiful soul. She was classically trained and wasn’t allowed to listen to pop music as a child.
This entire album was fire. I listened to this CD so often that the people in my life wouldn't ride in the car with me anymore. Play anything from this CD and you can't lose.
I don't know even though time was moving on in that was only a few months September 89 before the 1990s began, I love 80s music and have since I was a kid born in November of 89 so definitely not an 80s kid lol, and I've heard some lesser-known and even some very obscure pop from what sounds like the 80s but it's actually from anywhere from 90 to about 92-93, to some extent that pops and was not completely gone until around that time but for the most part I know that Papa had moved on same with hair metal.
She was a One Hit Wonder, but that song is STILL one of favorites of all time! She played every instrument on it, wrote it, a s produced it. And it came out in 1990 - so not technically an 80s song 😁
Finally! 🙂👍🏽 My friends and I, and my mom would jam out to this song! 😃 When they played the extended remix in the clubs (no, mom didn't hang with us at the clubs) we'd really show out. 😄
She toured with Cat Gray (her husband and also musical director from "Let's Make a Deal") in a band called 13Cats. You can find a few live videos on YT of that. Jane is on the keyboards with regular hair these days and still sounds amazing.
2 fun facts. Jane Hyslop, aka Jane Child is still active in Canada. Still wears her hair the same, sans braids. Still looks amazing. All that was fact 1. Fact 2 is that she is the sole producer and musician on this song.
It's so funny how EVERYONE starts dancing and moving the same way when this song is played. 😂 I played this song until my radio broke. The 80s music was sooo great❣️ JC was my first ❤ crush 😍
Straight up one of my favourite songs. Top 10. Jane deserved more success than she had, such an incredibly talented lady. This song really is complete - great vocals, tempo, production and impact. Her look was a little out there even at the time, but I love the statement she made that way. ❤
You want more fun upbeat music like Jane's? Listen to: Boy Meets Girl - Waiting for a Star to Fall Go West - King of Wishful Thinking (official video) Level 42 - Something About You Thank you !!
I remember when this song came out. I was in my first year out of high school in med school. But it came out the same time as Taylor Dayne Love will lead you back. That's a banger!
Oh wow!!! Love this song! I wish she had recorded more music! I remember the day I found this song. A friends son made me listen to it and I loved it!! Good choice guys! Much love and peace!! ❤✌️. Omg I was also obsessed with that hair!!
God this brings me back, this must be very late 80s or early 90s. Love this song. I never saw the video until now, and just realized she plays the keyboard too? WOW!! Another Canadian artist you will enjoy is Remi Shand. He's got a great hit called " Take A Message ".
I remember this so well. I was sure Jane Child would explode after this song, but... sadly, it didn't happen. I get in trouble when I call artists one-hit-wonders, but... anyway, she had several other good songs, including "Welcome to the Real World" and "All I Do". BTW, you pegged it. This came out in 1990.
@@redsmoker37 I think my comment was more or less my way of giving credit to Jay. LOL He said he recognized this music as 80s. And this album was recorded in the 80s even if the song didn't become a hit until 1990. 😸
She's been married since 2004 to musician Cat Gray. For those who watch daytime TV, you may recognize him for being on the current incarnation of the game show "Let's Make a Deal" which is hosted by Wayne Brady.
I love this song!! This song reminds me of Jermaine Stewart singing "We don't have to take our clothes off" Both song have a great beat and a good vibe!!! Y'all need to check out Jermaine Stewart!!

I can kind of see where you You might think this is 190s song but music from 90 to like 93 especially pop and hip hop still had a very new swing80s style to ITIT really did not change other than grunge until About 1994 or 1995 (And of course the 80s style pop and R&B and hip hop music did not change it's production style or sound until about 92 or 93 with more obscure artist still going into the midnight 90s even though most sounded modern you could still find a lot of hair bands until around 1994 and even into 1995) But as far as pop music new jack swing had been around since 1986 or 87 and that kind of Electro Hip hop style new Jack swing Really didn't fall out of popularity until the mid 90Really didn't fall out of popularity until the mid 90s when we had more of the smooth RB from people like R. Kelly Mario And Later boys to men I can't think of any of the others I can't think about any of the othersothers, So for the most part most pop and hip hop from 8788 and 89 sounded like music from 1,990-1,993 scene production style Similar vocal styles and heavy on the keyboards and electric guitars.
Wow, nice pick! She's from Hamilton, Ontario (sort of Canada's version of Pittsburgh, about 40 mins from Toronto). She came along exactly at the crossroads of when the 80's sound met the incoming 90's R&B/pop style.
The 12" (extended version) had a lot of the beats and riffs that were left on the cutting room floor when she edited the single. It has surprised me that a lot of the bass and percussion solos haven't been sampled by other artists, they are that good.
I think this came out in 1990 but its definitely got the 1987-1989 sound, ie synthy, crisp pop, cool melodies, she has a great voice and love her originality. She had 1 more really good hit from the same era.
Love this song! Another female artist I’m hoping you’ll check out is Joss Stone. She’s into Soul and R&B and has an insanely good voice with Janice Joplin vibes. Her songs/covers of Son of a Preacher Man, It’s a Man’s World and Piece of my Heart are great ones to start with.
@@lisalaursen3684 Absolutely.😊 I like to give people just a bit of a hand if I see an error in hopes it might be beneficial to them. I'm not being malicious about it when I do this and I'm glad you understood that I was just being helpful. Some people take it the wrong way. That's why I always try to put a smiley face with my post to let the person know I'm being friendly about it and not rude. Yeah, if you'd like for Jay and Amber to play some Joss Stone on Female Friday, I believe they're more likely to see your requests if you post them on their instagram or twitter account. I'm sorry I can't remember which one it is. Maybe both? LOL
❤❤❤❤ The Teddy Riley Remix. Can only find it on UA-cam. The remix is not on Apple Music platform. I wish that remix was though. Brings me back to early 90’s & late 80’s. Best music Ever!!!!!!
This is a great song. It came out in the spring of 1990. Another great female artist that was popular around this time was Lisa Stansfield. She had an amazing voice and her biggest hit "All Around The World" would be great to react to.
Check out Lisa del Bello...another Canadian artist.Jane definitely was influenced by Miss Del Bello's fashion. Yes,Canada was super weird in the 80's!!! LMAO Lotsa great music too, Lotsa hardcore,metal but lots of good pop too.Check out Glass Tiger,Honeymoon Suite,Payolas,Doug and the Slugs....
Great reaction! But if your slogan is "Give the people what they want", I've been asking for the live version of Love, Hate, Love by Alice in Chains FOREVER! Come on guys! Keep up the good work though!
Hello guys .....I remember this song it was a good one. I don't know if you have heard the song by New Edition... " Can You Stand the Rain". Please check it out.😆
Glad to see y'all do a reaction for this. She wrote, performed, produced, and played most of the instruments on this little ditty. Too bad she was a one-hit wonder. When released in January 1990, it spent 3 consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. A remix of the song was produced by Teddy Riley and reached #6 on the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart.
Actually Jane Child is married to the musical guy on Deal or no Deal. I thought it was an interesting tid bit. Hope they are still together. Otherwise this comment is mute.
Check out Todd Rundgren…, no wait before that, take a took at who all Todd Rundgren has Produced!!! Then find one of the many songs he has….. Just saying
She was a phenomenon. When I first heard this I would have sworn it was Sheila E - such soul!!! Epic chord progressions. Electro funk at its absolute finest!!!!
Great song! Now Amber, how have you let Female Friday go on so long without the artist I'm about to suggest? Michelle Branch - All You Wanted If you don't remember or are unfamiliar with her, I guarantee you will love the song. Keep making everyone smile fam!

They played this song at my mother's wedding along with poison from bel biv devoe
Female Friday suggestion: The Roches - 3 sisters who harmonize. Losing True or Hammond Song are good starting songs.
Unless I'm mistaken, Jane laid down every sound you hear. One woman show.
Fantastic musician and singer. You can tell she hated that costume the producers made her wear.
Would love for you to do some winger and skid row

Ah she is from the late 80ies! I had never heard of her before. Now I get why...only one of your list I know is Janet Jackson.
I came here to mention Jodie Whatley and Taylor Dayne!
This song was incredible when it came out. And she was so visually different for the time. It was eye and ear shocking in the best way. Still jam out to this song.
I thought that ear to nose ring was SOOOO crazy back then. If I ONLY knew what was to come decades ahead...
@@monkeysuncle2816 I’ll admit my parents were a bit weirded out when I bought the CD because of that image on the front…
Mind boggling that she never had a bigger hit. Welcome to the Real World was decent.
Let's not forget about the chain connected to her ear and nose piercings.
and i swear to God i thought it was a black women singing this when i first heard it lol
😎 Sweet Reactions! I was 17 when this song came out, and I'm still shocked that she didn't have more Top 40 Hits! Great voice and a style all her own.
Exactly my experience and thought.
Always loved this song. Never get sick of it.
Definitely! It's excellent
Same!
She was actually a classically trained pianist
Julliard, if memory serves.

For another late 80s sound turning into the 90s, check out Neneh Cherry singing "Buffalo Stance." I think you'll like it. Have a great evening!
She fucking killed this song! It was 1990 and she always has to be given props for this even though she only had one hit.
I always loved this song
Me too!
Me, too! But I could never have done the chain ... I'd have caught it on something and riiiip. OW!
Being a die hard NY'er, the music video always makes me smile, as that is the NYC I grew up in. As an artist, Jane did stand out with her punk looks combined with her soul/rnb/pop vocals.

Black Velvet will always be one of my all time fav songs!!!
It's a shame that her career in music didn't really take off. Instead she was kind of a 1 hit wonder with this song.
Miss Jane Child! This song was played like crazy when I was 19 years 1989 last year of the decade into 1990. It brings back amazing memories those times were so good.

Love this song! Another female artist I’m hoping you’ll check out is Joss Stone. She’s into Soul and R&B and has an insanely good voice with Janice Joplin vibes. Her songs/covers of Son of a Preacher Man, It’s a Man’s World and Piece of my Heart are great ones to start with.
Joss.😊
@@frauleinmona my bad, didn’t notice autocorrect.
@@lisalaursen3684 I thought that might have been the case, but I thought I'd leave my comment just to make sure.😊
Appreciate that. I’m hoping they’ll look her up and feature her on a female Friday.🫠
@@lisalaursen3684 Absolutely.😊 I like to give people just a bit of a hand if I see an error in hopes it might be beneficial to them. I'm not being malicious about it when I do this and I'm glad you understood that I was just being helpful. Some people take it the wrong way. That's why I always try to put a smiley face with my post to let the person know I'm being friendly about it and not rude. Yeah, if you'd like for Jay and Amber to play some Joss Stone on Female Friday, I believe they're more likely to see your requests if you post them on their instagram or twitter account. I'm sorry I can't remember which one it is. Maybe both? LOL
I love the New Jack Swing remix for this song! Teddy Riley did his thang on that!
❤❤❤❤ The Teddy Riley Remix. Can only find it on UA-cam. The remix is not on Apple Music platform. I wish that remix was though. Brings me back to early 90’s & late 80’s. Best music Ever!!!!!!
This is a great song. It came out in the spring of 1990. Another great female artist that was popular around this time was Lisa Stansfield. She had an amazing voice and her biggest hit "All Around The World" would be great to react to.
I remember that song too I always thought she was black but she wasn't
Lisa is neglected but so wonderful!
Check out Lisa del Bello...another Canadian artist.Jane definitely was influenced by Miss Del Bello's fashion. Yes,Canada was super weird in the 80's!!! LMAO Lotsa great music too, Lotsa hardcore,metal but lots of good pop too.Check out Glass Tiger,Honeymoon Suite,Payolas,Doug and the Slugs....
Great reaction! But if your slogan is "Give the people what they want", I've been asking for the live version of Love, Hate, Love by Alice in Chains FOREVER! Come on guys! Keep up the good work though!
I knew you guys would love Jane Child!! You might check out "Nu Shooz" soon. They do "Point Of No Return" and "I Can't Wait"
Her vocals are ok here the music drives the vocals. I think this was 1990. It was a big hit in the us
Platinum Blonde is another Canadian band you should check out
Hello guys .....I remember this song it was a good one. I don't know if you have heard the song by New Edition... " Can You Stand the Rain". Please check it out.😆
Been waiting on this one. Next I need some more Teena Marie! Either Square Biz or Fire & Desire (duet with Rick James). Preferably both!!
You should check out Jane Child singing this song live with Wayne Brady. She is KILLER on the piano!
Glad to see y'all do a reaction for this. She wrote, performed, produced, and played most of the instruments on this little ditty. Too bad she was a one-hit wonder. When released in January 1990, it spent 3 consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. A remix of the song was produced by Teddy Riley and reached #6 on the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart.
Never did like 80s POP It sounded the same .. For me it was 70s Pop all the way
Actually Jane Child is married to the musical guy on Deal or no Deal. I thought it was an interesting tid bit. Hope they are still together. Otherwise this comment is mute.
@@melissayoung8917 ... As far as I know, they're still together. :)
I love the shot with the twin towers in the video
Check out Todd Rundgren…, no wait before that, take a took at who all Todd Rundgren has Produced!!! Then find one of the many songs he has…..
Just saying
You gotta react to “Life is a Rock “ by Reunion from 1974. Killer tune (especially the lyrics) that will surprise you.
She was a phenomenon. When I first heard this I would have sworn it was Sheila E - such soul!!! Epic chord progressions. Electro funk at its absolute finest!!!!
Great song!
Now Amber, how have you let Female Friday go on so long without the artist I'm about to suggest?
Michelle Branch - All You Wanted
If you don't remember or are unfamiliar with her, I guarantee you will love the song. Keep making everyone smile fam!
Can you PLEASE play "Mercedes Boy" by Pebbles & "Let Me Be The One" by Expose'?!
