+theNineCorners Vanessa? Vanessa who? You forgot the old timers: Chaka Khan, Pointer Sisters, Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle. They all had massive '80s hits!
Me too !! Although the 80’s was just as shady and shitty the only difference is we didn’t have the internet back then to blast all the crazy shit we did !!
Nah, this sounds like 20 other songs. This brainless beauty self claimed " Ima Vishunaree" made more money than all 3 tlc... same greedy trapping by boybander
Man Frfr I was 10 when this joint came out. Had the biggest crush on her. I’m 47 now and even now when I look at this video I’m like damn pebbles FINNNEEEEE.
If I knew back in the late 80's that music would be like it is today, I would have become a scientist and make a damn time machine to stay in the 80's!!!
Man, this person is never lying! The music sucks now. Black music has gone down to shit, and there is no comparison to true Black music because is THE BEST.
Sometime a record company or a manager will mold a recording artist into what they want to sell. Pebbles was her own creation. Her "brand" came from her, based on interviews I've seen.
They COULD come up with a song like this. But it would be plagiarism. They can't do anything original because these new "singers" have no talent at all.
I heard this today on America's Top 40 replay from Apr. 1988. I was 25 then and had forgotten about this song. There was a local school girl in Calumet, MI that was always singing it. Pebbles is talented.
The look ...the vibe.. that shit is still relevant..and badass today...pay mad respect to 80's hip-hop. They laid the foundation and some cases surpassed modern music today...That shit still sounds good...Mad props!!
You don't get it. Music today is so technically advanced that you don't understand it. Technically music of today is so far advanced to this. Sonically maybe it's not that great. If you actually listen to music of today it's way way more technically advance music can't stay in the same medium It's growing every year. listen to any song that came out today and don't just listen to it but try and listen to it even deeper. than just lyrics and beats. You'll understand then. This music is simple the way it's arranged.
This takes me back to 1988 when the radio played this every 2 hours for 3 months straight 🤣 I loved this. My favorite part was “To believe or not to believe, that is the quest-CHEE-on” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was my absolute favorite song when I was a little girl. I can't even tell you all how many times I replayed the cassette single. (YES, you read that right.) Pretty sure I wore it out, and that my mom was sick and tired of hearing this song. Lol Good times.
I literally had her haircut. Not the curls, the layered thing. I was also a little girl when this song came out, but I ended up emulating that hair years later.
I love this song just to hear Pebbles say, "Hey Deele, sing!" She's the only woman I know that got to tell Babyface when to sing. This song is prestine. Shoutout to The Big Homie Pebbles.
Hmm… Tina Turner’s Private Dancer, Red Corvette lmao it’s always been there just waaay more subtle. Also, can go back further with the turn of “Gospel” music- hymns to secular music, but it was behind the scenes.
Gute Super Beautiful American Music, bleibt Super in Gold 👑🎷🎤🎹🥇🏆💃💖🎩🎤🇩🇪 thank you 🙏 for you e beautiful Music the 80. Jere absolutely., von ampiremusic Deutschland 🇩🇪 der Martin Budesheim Germany 🇩🇪. 🎸🗝🎷💃💖🎩🎤🇩🇪🧢🗝📀
I listen to this type of music and it takes me straight back to the dance floor in the 1980s. I love and miss that time of my life! No commitments, just fun with friends.
Gosh, I remember the first time hearing this song-the fast and clean percussion and catchy synth lines, hallmarks of The Deele’s production style…I was in love instantly and I still can’t get enough of it all these years later. Pebbles was the real deal, about to slide effortlessly among many styles of popular music.
Omg I can’t believe this song was done and supposed to be for Vanessa Williams’ debut album The Right Stuff. Pebbles heard the song and offered LA Reid more money and two cars for the chance to record it. WOOOOW!!
There’s never I time I don’t think of my little sister Shaun when “Girlfriend” and “Mercedes Boy” are playing. I believe they were her “anthem” songs! 💜 you Shaun! We had some good times with Pebbles, and The Deele!!
I still remember this song and had to look it up right now! This is like your best friend giving you a reality check that you really need to hear. Thanks Pebbles, what a great song!!!! I don't care whatever happened between her and TLC, it's all water under the bridge now, this song stands the test of time!!!!!
I remember asking my mom what the name of her hairstyle was in the shot where her hair is straight and she told me “a wrap.” When mom took me to the salon, I asked for “a wrap” and uh...it did not turn out like this.
Pebbles is a gorgeous woman. Still love this song. I won't follow the crowd with everyone hating on Pebbles. Everyone is believing a TLC VH1 movie that may not have told the whole truth. Without Pebbles, you would have never heard of TLC. She came up with the name for the group and discovered T Boz, Left Eye, and Chili. There's more to this story than VH1 told you.
Another gem from the days when women had class and wore clothes! I feel blessed that I was there in the 80's when we were inundated with tremendous soul/RnB music from the likes of Pebbles.
@@selena_queentanillaperez9183 that's the point. They wear very little and are poor role models for young girls. Look at GaGa and Beyonce. Underwear!!!!
CASA Rodriguez Lol I was just about to post how my boyfriend back then thought she was so beautiful and he asked me if I would do my hair like hers in my Sr picture! Saw your comment and had to chuckle that there were probably a lot of us rocking that Pebbles hair then! She was definitely hot!
My girlfriends best friend use to play this song for her back when you could request a song on the radio. It was dedicated to me multiple times...the bad boyfriend.
I was born in 88 so i was way too young to know about this music butLAter on in the mid 90s i started listneing to old 80s music and ofcourse 90s music as well and as i grew older i kept my love for 80s-90s music eventhough im still in with all the new current stuff right now! Its so weird when i compare this song right here to a crappy song from ariana grande and im like wtf? ITs so werid how an older less modern song can be so much better than a new modern song. This song like msot 80s songs are so ctchy and addictive and were done classy without all the over exposure of sex , drugs and demonic symbolisms. It all had a positive bibe about it but nowadays even the so called nice upbeat music has something dark about it that i dont like! Im 29 now and i see people whoa re a couple of years younger than me and even way more younger being exposed to this current music that has this negative vibe about it! The music today is really affecting kids in a negative way! Theya re bombarded with negative messages and symbolisms 24/7. They become numb to certain stuff and they are becoming less and less what it means to be human! They are becoming superficial , arrogant self intitled and have zero respect for human or animal life! Music brainwashing has a huge thing to do with it!
She's gorgeous. No filter, no surgery
You really don’t think she had any work done ? I do
Yes 😂
Great singer too. Triple THREAT❤💯
Back then it was all about Pebbles, Janet Jackson, Jody Watley, Karyn White, Sheila E, Neneh Cherry, Vanessa etc. Good times in r&b/pop/dance music.
True these girls were divas

Oh man..that classic 80's sound can't ever be outdone.
Wrongo the classic 90s sound IMO. But the early 2000s that was the last decade of truly great music.
Never.
Agreed 💯
@MinkaCreates wrong, this was the late 80's. You probably weren't around back then. VH1 had this in heavy rotation.

Natural beauty was more important!

Pebbles is part of my generation.
Pebbles perfected the Uptown Girl vibe of the late 80s and early 90s.
Sometime a record company or a manager will mold a recording artist into what they want to sell. Pebbles was her own creation. Her "brand" came from her, based on interviews I've seen.
Old, but GOLD. Still jamming to this in 2022. Girlfriend is a forever CLASSIC. Thank you Pebbles ❤️.
My mom would play this song in the car a lot. Now, as an adult, I can sing this song in my sleep. Thanks mom.
Lol same here
YOU GO GIRL! 🕺
Your mom has great taste.
My two grown sons were subjected to this too. They thank me now. ❤
Pebbles she is a mastermind. She comes up with the most classic songs of the 80s. I love this woman.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I remembered how Pebbles beautiful hairstyles were to die for back in the day!😍
She's ridiculously beautiful
The beat to this song is EVERYTHING!!
NEVER get tired of hearing this song and video! Why can't one of these modern day beeatchs come up with a song like this? Epic thru and thru!
😂
They COULD come up with a song like this. But it would be plagiarism. They can't do anything original because these new "singers" have no talent at all.

Lol me too

I love that part of the song, especially when they were all on Soul Train
He wrote it duh😂😂😂
Those bangs is everything 😊

Hmm… Tina Turner’s Private Dancer, Red Corvette lmao it’s always been there just waaay more subtle. Also, can go back further with the turn of “Gospel” music- hymns to secular music, but it was behind the scenes.
I agree in the sense before the darkness set in.
Yes there was Illuminati symbolism already , even in the 70’s
Even hairdressers have nothing on the 80’s hairstylists.
It's March 2023 and this song still sounds so good. Golden 80s.

I listen to the remix version once a week 😊
A #1 hit for Pebbles on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 594th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era.
Gosh, I remember the first time hearing this song-the fast and clean percussion and catchy synth lines, hallmarks of The Deele’s production style…I was in love instantly and I still can’t get enough of it all these years later. Pebbles was the real deal, about to slide effortlessly among many styles of popular music.
The Deele was awesome! A genuine, classic, wholesome singing group.
violins may be!!
As a millennial, I love listening to a lot of the songs my mom grew up listening to, mostly the ones from the 80s/90s.
Yesss!!!❤
This song helped me leave my ex husband! Inspiring!
As a young kid, I never realized the beauty of this woman. Now as an adult, I'm mesmerized by her beauty.
How did you not realise even then?? When I was about 4 I was memorized by Susannah Hoffs 😍
First Lady of LaFace ❤
The lady's music 🎶 of the 80's were awesome 👌 👏 👍
Pebbles didnt get the recognition she deserved. She was amazing xxx
This song peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1988

How cud I have missed this funny n delicious lyric...I guess she was so smooth...Pebbles was adorable

When music was great! Miss those days!
For sure!
She looks amazing in the video 😍

One of many great songs in that iconic Pebbles album, such an awesome era for R&B female vocalists in the late 80s
Before Toni and Beyoncé
Why were they so much more talented back then and she is drop dead gorgeous.
Like "Dial My Heart", this R&B driven pop song is very much of it's time, but that just adds to the charm.
wow....blast from the past. This song played every morning I was getting ready for school on my moms old stereo with the 8track player on it. LMAO!!
