So True...when it came out it was on every radio station and playing in every other car that drove by for over three months. It was The number 1 jam that summer😅 of 1989. Barbecues n picnics , Block parties and Clubs this was The Jam !
***** Loose Ends was the first UK R&B act to have a #1 R&B hit in the States with _Hangin' on a String_. The UK's R&B talent is more soulful by the decade.
Good Morning So did Mines. In fact many people in the projects and the hood blasted this song. Many people who had bar-b-ques and house parties played this song towards the end of their events.
No social media either not even twerking that's what these today's young people in this so called generation don't know nothing bout this old sckool music
@@lifeofneacy3891 Imma need ya to stop listening to music stations, and apply yourself on a music app. Spotify, ITunes, something. If you think music has gone bad, you not where it's really heard
This still gives me goosebumps every single time. The Apollo crowd---tough as they are--loved, loved, loved Lisa. They loved seeing her on that stage, they love the song. And probably even more so, they love her album AFFECTION. If you haven't yet heard the album in its entirety, baby, you are missing out. That album is the BOMB!
my first day trip from kingston ny to nyc was just after the 'affection' album was released and i walked into the mcdonald's on broadway in the east village. the entire staff was black and they were playing the album over the loudspeakers and everyone was singing along and dancing to every song. my friends and i (all white) were also playing the album nonstop at the time and joined in, as we ate. it was an awesome experience that i will never forget.
Throughout history, the Brits had always had a thing for soul music, most notably Northern Soul. And as evidenced here, and much like Teena Marie before her, Lisa's music then and now crosses all boundaries of pop, soul and R&B. This performance at the Apollo was legendary. The black community (and of course, the gays) embraced her groove way before the mainstream crossover audience did. Personally speaking, when I first heard this track, I myself thought she was black (I thought the same when I first heard Madonna's "Holiday). Then the music video came out and I was both stunned, enchanted and HOOKED! Lady Stansfield ruled, and still does today.
She absolutely had the crowd in the palm of her hands , amazing performance ! To do that is a hard job at the Apollo , especially when your British and White ! We should be proud of her
I saw it when originally aired and they LOVED her!!! I don't think the audience stood up like that for too many people and when they stand up and go ham for you like that ..... you are on your way to a loyal fan base.
The white, Brit lady has SOUL running thru her veins! Man' I had goose bumps when the audience got to their feet and went crazy! One of the best soul acts I've seen in years!
ADRIENNE PIERCE This isn't rock, what are you talking about? This is new jack swing, a fusion genre of hip hop production and R&B singing and melodies.
90'S CROWD WAS SO DIFFERENT,,,WE PARTIED FOR REAL!!!!🫡🫡🫡🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯 DONT LET OUR SONG BE PLAYING,,,,ITS OVER,,,UNCLES,,,AUNTIES,,, GRANDMA & POPPOP BE ROCKING!!!!🫡🫡🫡🔥🔥🔥💃💃💃
You could tell that the amount of love and how hype the crowd was took her by surprised a little. She could tell and in turn she gave them an A+ performance! it was a beautiful thing to watch.
From 3:30 through 3:36, this what a victory lap looks like when an artist is killing at the Apollo. Absolute smile from ear to ear to see and total Goosebumps. GO LISA! GO LISA!
it looked like she wanted to do a couple of more lines acapella at the end of the song, but the crowd went nuts and she just ended it ...what an insane connection between an artist and the audience .... and she not only sounded great, but looked cool as shit ..... no sleaze, just pure class, style, and natural beauty on display .... great also seeing Sinbad come out like "Holy shit, wtf just happened"
Hi Vinny, Lisa was fab, have you seen her sing this song with Barry White, it's the top's, I live in the North of England too, & l am white but love soul music 🎶 too, but really Vinny why use bad language? 🌿 🐦 🌸 🌿 🐦 🌸 🌿 Sending Lot's of love from Great Britain 🇬🇧
@@annemccabe1714 yes you are super sensitive ... stress yourself out over more important things than over someone typing 'holy shit' in a youtube comment
Wow, Respect for Lisa Stansfield. This British Lady has some Soul and Rhythm. It seems that the British were coming so close to the American Soul. And her voice was flawless. Now it only makes me more sad that the other British Soul Lady, Miss Amy Winehouse, died way too soon.
Brits, especially from the Northern part of England around her age grew up listening to a lot of black artists and learned to sing from them. Another example, is Mick Hucknall from Simply Red. Blue eyed soul.
You say british were coming so close to american soul but brits had soul and blues way back in the 60s. The Beatles looked up to little richard, did covers of the isley brothers and would absolutely kill that shit. Then dirty mac came out and you cant tell me that didnt have soul in it. Sure it aint Aretha Franklin rnb type shit but still. Not to mention alot of their house funk dance music they have nowadays is great
This lil gay boy survived at 14 in 1989 w this song, Vision of Love, Vogue, Miss You Like Crazy, Buffalo Stance, and a few others....when we had to wait for the song to come on so we could record it off the radio...yaya those were THE days
The Apollo haven't had a reaction like that since Buddy holly and the crickets in 1957...She said that "performing at the Apollo was one of the Biggest highlights of her musical career" She also said "The crowd was so electric, you could feel the love and Energy from the stage"
She was momentarily shocked by the crowds enthusiasm then she fused with them... And a great performance, captured. The apollo, a tough crowd, but she nailed it.
This woman can sing- she knocks Adele into the corner- such a geodic and soulful voice with a control and sensitivity Adele could only dream of. This is NOT cultural approriation- it's cultural APPRECIATION. Lisa LOVES black music PERIOD. She grew up listening to all the greats and they were her idols and major influences.
I love you Lisa ❤️ I remember being about 6 or 7 yrs old coming home from school my mother would have this blasted on the radio cooking and cleaning.. The good old days they don't make music close to this anymore
When this song came out, I lived in Los Angeles. I bought this song as a single cassette and I would play it on repeat whenever I was stuck in traffic! I wore this song the F*CK out!! Go Lisa! Go Lisa!
She has talked about this performance, she was scared to death to go out and face the audience,,,cause if she was they would have let her know it, big performance at the Apollo!!!
Life is not about the color of your skin. lt's about character and the positive things that make a person unique. No one white, black or otherwise ever had more of an effect on the Apollo crowd than Lisa Stansfield on that day. Go Lisa.
33 years old and I just found out this is Lisa Stansfield. As much as I heard her song on the radio growing up, I thought she was a black woman. Soulful voice and the crowd was giving great energy.
They have another video on UA-cam where she says "I sing the way I do because I've listened to a lot of black American music. Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, The Ojay's, The Jacksons. I just used to really get into it. While me mum was doing the Hoovering. (laughs) I'd be in front of the mirror with a hairbrush." She also said Barry White was a big influence for the first album. In another interview she says she liked Diana Ross when she was 4 or 5, then named Chaka, Gladys and Aretha.
A year later my last post, this is still CHILL INDUCING watching it now. And I hate to play the racecard here, but you definitely can't help but declare that this transcends race. She kicked ass no matter what color she was. They all loved her!
This was a BOP!!!!!!!!! I was a little girl when then came out and i remember this playing on the radio HEAVY!!!! Get Lisa a Hot fish sandwich and side of the MAC!
Go Lisa
And she did lol
Lol.. Speak this Truth.. if she brings Potato salad or not, she will always be welcome..💯👌
Super big facts lol @@jhess1598
She conquered the Apollo....❤
GO LISA!!! GO LISA!!!
That little dancey dance she did during the bridge is what set it off!
The energy from the crowd made her do it
Hell yeah she murdered it!!!❤
Exactly!!!
Ate it up!!
I'm crying!! So dope!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
That’s probably the toughest crowd EVER, but she nailed it.
They were tough but if they love the song the artiste gets respected better than anywhere else on the planet.
She's just that good
She is a natural..never had to worry. She is a true songbird.

She sure did hahaha
@Powerful Oprah Perhaps you should listen to more than 1 song before you bounce her out. Kinda a judge not lest ye be judged sort of thing.
You can see her confidence grow through the entire performance.
Yes
Rite by 3:15 she was feeling it!
Totally agree, she was definitely shocked at first by the response from the crowd.
So true.
Tbh I think she was consistent from start to finish because she is authentic
When she turns her back and starts to bop I am DYING. "Go Lisa! Go Lisa!"
everytime that part comes up I lose air from laughing so much lmaoooooo
She was killing it lol
Erica Queen Wasn't she? She was black for 5 minutes on that stage. Lol.
Yaaaas! Me too! I love when the audience gets behind the singer....she RIPS it at 3:17 !! She gon FIND that MANG!

oracle yoda yes definitely. Has Irish blood though lol like Mariah and Christina
She grew up in Venice beach not Oakland
