Yeah, Atlantic Star should be in someone's Hall of Fame if there's an R&B hall of fame, definitely. Honestly, it's just refreshing to see that A group of 20 year olds who appreciate classic R&B Honestly, I feel sorry for the generation now. When it comes to music this trash . They listen to now it's just sad..

@@jduwayne1 Stop spreading FAKE NEWS please. Sharon Bryant was Atlantic Starr's female lead until 1984 She sang lead on ONLY 5 albums 1978- Atlantic Starr 1979 -Straight To The Point 1980 - Radiant 1982 - Brilliance 1983 - Yours Forever Barbara Weathers was the female lead singer on their 1985 album As The Band Turns and gave Atlantic Starr their Biggest (crossover) Hit ; Secret Lovers 1986 - All in the name of Love also Barbara Weathers 1989 - We're movin Up Female Lead Porchia Martin 1991 - Love Crazy Female Lead Rachel Oliver
This was the original Atlantic Starr, which included Sharon Bryant as a lead vocalist. Awesome music! You get songs like this when the band has actual singers and musicians. The songwriters came up with lyrics that had meaning. No auto-tune. Just real talent. Oh...and their harmony was out of this world! ❤ After Sharon left in 1984 and there were other personnel changes, the group crossed over to the pop charts. Their classic R&B sound changed. You'll hear the difference between their early 80s R&B music (i.e , Send for Me, When Love Calls, Love Me Down, Circles, Let's Get Closer) and their crossover pop songs after 1985 (i.e., Secret Lovers, Silver Shadow, Always, All in the Name of Love).
Yeah. Our era sang of love. The bonding of man and woman. The EUPHORIC SPLENDOR. Of what love does to you. Changes you. Strengthens you. We CHOSE to love. Amen.
Ashley I grew up across from Detroit Michigan. A White Young Woman from Windsor Ontario Canada in love with R&B and Motown during the 70sand 80s,and 90s. Falling to sleep to the gorgeous sounds of WJLB radio out of Detroit. Dancing in some of the best clubs in Detroit with my wonderful friends. We connected through these sounds. I am a musician and my granddaughter is being introduced to this gorgeous time period. So many female artists overlooked for their beautiful talent. I am glad others are being introduced to this soulful journey. Grandma from Canada, Lori.C.
The female is Sharon Bryant. When she left Atlantic Starr, she covered Steve Perry's song Foolish Heart. Steve started in the rock band Journey. You gotta check them out. They're amazing. Steve has 1 of best voices ever. Check out Sharon performing live on Soul train. Thx
Steve Perry is a legend. He did for Journey, what Michael Mcdonald did for the Doobie Brothers, JT Taylor for Kool and the Gang, and Johnny Gill did for New Edition. The key additions to these groups really help propell them to new levels!!!
So many babies came from the music 60's 70's and early and mid 80's, real music, we slow dance and talked , held hands and walked, we went on real dates no distraction. This was couples skate jam at skating rink , i remember it well,
Youth is sooooo impatient. It always has been. At this time in the world, everyone wasn't in such a hurry. When a slow song came on at the dance, we wanted that moment to last forever. It may be helpful for today's audiences to understand that: this music was representative of a desire to slow down the pace of the world...not speed it up. And the music reflected that fact.
Long intros because they were just as special as the song. The instrumentals AND voices were just amazing back then. Love your tributes and reactions to oldies. Music that just makes you feel good.
Yes, you definitely have to go down the Atlantic Starr rabbit hole. They have hits on hits! Please react to their songs If Your Heart Isn’t In It and Always 🔥🔥🔥
If you pay attention some of the best oldies, and what makes some of them better than others is a lot of those great songs will at some point in the song break it down and either tell you a little story about what’s going on in their heart and their mind as the music is playing or they’ll sing about wants going on and take you on a little detour and then bring you back into the song. In this song in particular he starts saying in the middle of the song “Sometimes I need you to show me it’s not a mirage…” , and when he’s done talking to her he jumps back into the song. It’s pretty cool, and gives a little more depth to the lyrics. Some of my favorite oldies are the ones that break it down in the middle or some point in the song and tell you why he’s singing the song 🔥
That’s so true. Guys back then if they wanted a woman they’d go all in. 54 years with my guy. He’s gone but I’ll never love another man like that. Imagine being told everyday how beautiful you are. Yes Mam. He was that and more. A musician.♥️♥️♥️
One of the reasons for the long intro's was that we slow danced in the clubs to these songs. That 30-45 seconds gave you time to match your rhythm and bond to your dance partner. We didn't just jump into it, we were smooth with it! 😉
To answer your question, the female vocalist on this song is Sharon Bryant, the original female lead singer of Atlantic Starr. The male lead singer on this is David Lewis, brother of bandmate Wayne Lewis. David and Wayne both sang lead on many of their other hits.
Absolutely love my people's! This sister is feeling this one! Do you all see how she move to the beat so naturally?! @6:22 She is absolutely beautiful!
Her voice was really one of the smoothest. 💘 And also☝🏼 If not for reaction, at least listen to their ”Circles” and a few years later with new female singer ”Silvershadow”. ✨ In May1980 I found soul/funk, 13 years old, in Sweden.🇸🇪 1978-1983 Golden years for this genre. 👴🏼👍🏼
This is a beautiful and meaningful song. You did it justice in your reaction. I’m looking for the rest of your reviews each time one song ends. Very good. 😊
❤ young lady I’m so happy that you appreciate the early music. I was like seven years old when this came out. Grew up in a household that stayed playing music from the 50s up.. * I’d really like for you to check out this singer, Milira. The song, GO OUTSIDE IN THE RAIN 🤯 ✨fyi, Atlantic Star had one female member that was switched a few times, but All had powerful voices ❤ Sorry for the lengthy comment, but I myself am a music fanatic. Oh, p.s. The group Escape & Keith Sweat made over “ Am I Dreaming . 💯
Nice, great reaction love my music from the 70' 80' and 90's. Tradition music for tradition people back then. But if you have some time can you react to Atlantic Starr "Send For Me" that one is a banger 2.
I remember this back in the days when I was a kid. OMG! Still sounds good, even today!80's and again in the 90's! I wanna sit down and play this on the piano immediately. The original and the remake were both excellent.
The long intro is to give the guy time enough to walk across the floor to ask for a dance!!! 😂 I was waiting to see your reaction when Sharon's part came up. 👍🏾👍🏾 to Sharon Bryant on lead vocals, she's so powerful... 💯🔥🎶💖
It's believe that the don't make music like they made it Back in the day I'm 62 years old there or Artistes In this time frame that sing so beautifully and real to the heart that they to will be spoken of with the same wonder as those in time pass like your Kems Anthony Hamiltons ,M Soulchild Keisha C ,Her Ella's M, Avant, Maxwell, and the list gose on but what I believe is missing is the Hearts of these young that thinks what's love got to do about it. People nowadays are so scared of g5 hurt that they throw up they're guards to keep from getting hurt . What they don't know is this type of adduetued robs them of the beauty of real love one most open themselves up to the joy and pain that comes with True love if you shone the pains that comes through your interactions with be in a relationship you will never reap the the joy that comes from being in love with another.
That’s Love 💕 love between a man and a women….and we sing with a perfect combination…this is why God made a woman for a man..we are perfect together…..that’s what the Lord said…..fiire works❤
The incomparable Sharon Bryant is the female lead vocalist for this one. She was the first and, in my opinion, greatest female lead for Atlantic Starr. Do yourself a favor and go and listed to "Losing You".
Women really gave all of themselves to their men back then. It's only when the break up of our homes began to really take root. Then the musical production industry began to choose what the message would be, that we started to see the disintegration of our love for one another. I miss the love.❤
I love them I also had a chance to meet them they came to my High school when they made Circles in Mount Vernon NY, in my brother knew them my brother played the bass guitar
This is when music was real! I grew up in the 70's. Thank you God for Blessing me with great music in the 70's.
The men weren't drinking. They were receiving their dream girl who's the embodiment of raising wholesome, respectful feminine daughters.
what's wrong with butch daughters?
"When Love Calls"..."My First Love"..."Send For Me"..."Always"..."Secret Lovers"... I could go on...and on...
Just a all around great album 😉👍
Yeah, Atlantic Star should be in someone's Hall of Fame if there's an R&B hall of fame, definitely. Honestly, it's just refreshing to see that A group of 20 year olds who appreciate classic R&B Honestly, I feel sorry for the generation now. When it comes to music this trash .

My top five band of all time.
Send for Me
I’m 59 and I am so glad that I came up in that era. Our music was unmatched!
Sharon Bryant’s voice takes this song to another dimension…
Sorry but my brother makes this song
@@GandlafTheWhiteSorry Brother! Sharon Bryant sung lead on 11 of 14 albums with Atlantic Starr!
@@jduwayne1 i get what you are saying but his vocals in this song got me more… just my humble opinion

I agree!
They had us drinking Love, Tenderness, and Understanding. Being welcoming from the BS from the world. We offered that to each other.
Yeah.

The EUPHORIC SPLENDOR.
Of what love does to you.
Changes you.
Strengthens you.

She is my favorite female vocalists
Atlantic Starr and Midnight Star were both great back in the day. As a 53-year-old man, I missed this music.
Yep, this is what we were jamming as teenagers at the house parties, slow dancing with the lights off in the 1980s.
Ashley has the greatest appreciation for great music. Her reaction indicates that.
Love was in the juice! When we fell .....we fell HARD! A man's heart wouldl, well up with pride when he loved a good woman and she loved him! ❤❤❤❤😊
Thank you for celebrating the music of grown folks. These groups of that era were truly blessed.
So many babies came from the music 60's 70's and early and mid 80's, real music, we slow dance and talked , held hands and walked, we went on real dates no distraction. This was couples skate jam at skating rink , i remember it well,
Her name is Sharon Bryant and Alantic Starr had some jams back in the day.

Atlantic Starr "Closer than Close" the Coldest Song Ever
❤
Youth is sooooo impatient. It always has been.
At this time in the world, everyone wasn't in such a hurry.

It may be helpful for today's audiences to understand that: this music was representative of a desire to slow down the pace of the world...not speed it up.
And the music reflected that fact.
Back then our men really loved our women
Black Love is Alpha and the Omega of Our Existence. A very Powerful energy.
ABSOLUTE TRUTH!!!!💯💯💯
Long intros because they were just as special as the song. The instrumentals AND voices were just amazing back then. Love your tributes and reactions to oldies. Music that just makes you feel good.
Singing about LOVE...not sex...not waking the neighbors up...not bouncing off the wall...LOVE.
This
True Indeed
Every Song was a HIT! Saw them sing Send For Me! The whole stadium stopped in their tracks and listened! ❤
Ole School Royalty!!Blue lights..incense burning...lil wind blowing through the sheer curtains--the rest is magical❤
Holy Ghost!!!!!
You like the way Atlantic Starr sound. I have a feeling you'll like this one too " Secret Lovers "
This young lady is refreshing. Her appreciation is genuine. This is when I just started catching feelings 😅. If you haven’t already

Atlantic Starr definitely had some jams; check out "Closer Than Close" and "Send For Me"
the lead singer from Enchantments name is EJ listen to Silly Love Song or Gloria just to name a few TRUST
Sexiness with no cuss words. Songwriting Skills!!
The long intro gave everybody enough time to make it to pair up and make it to the dance floor 😂
That music comes from a divine place
When indigenous people made real music❤
This was a jam when I was a kid! They dont make music like this today! I dont think they know how to!!!
She's so cute. Great reaction to a great song!
WE NEED MORE ATLANTIC STARR REACTIONS!!!!! 💢💢💢💢💢
Yes, you definitely have to go down the Atlantic Starr rabbit hole. They have hits on hits! Please react to their songs If Your Heart Isn’t In It and Always 🔥🔥🔥
Bless your heart Baby Sister. She wants to know if the legendary Atlantic Starr has more songs. Don’t hurt yourself when you find out.
If you pay attention some of the best oldies, and what makes some of them better than others is a lot of those great songs will at some point in the song break it down and either tell you a little story about what’s going on in their heart and their mind as the music is playing or they’ll sing about wants going on and take you on a little detour and then bring you back into the song.

All in the name of Love❤❤❤❤❤❤
My favorite group of all times. Secret lovers was so ironic. It seem to be playing when i was playing.
You have to do Will Downing and Rachel Farrell "NOTHING HAS EVER FELT" I promise it will blow you away.....I promise. That song is a lovers classic!
Fam, she ain't ready for dat.
Do this one "I wanna get next to you" Rose Royce 🌹

MS A❤. When the record shop notify us that they have new music in. We were 🏃🏾♀️💨💨💨🏃🏾♂️💨💨💨

They are touring right now and sound as good as ever...even with the newer members.
Yes Ms Sharon Bryant, the first lady lead. Later it was Barbara Weathers. Both were awesome divas.
Wow, my first girlfriend would sing that song to me with a voice just like the lady on that song got to love the 80s
Her voice was really one of the smoothest. 💘
And also☝🏼 If not for reaction, at least listen to their ”Circles” and a few years later with new female singer ”Silvershadow”. ✨
In May1980 I found soul/funk, 13 years old, in Sweden.🇸🇪
1978-1983 Golden years for this genre.
👴🏼👍🏼
This is a beautiful and meaningful song. You did it justice in your reaction. I’m looking for the rest of your reviews each time one song ends. Very good. 😊

I was enjoy watching these type of reaction videos. This is classic, timeless music that always sounds good.
I’m listening to this 4 months after you posted it. You have to know by now that this is a rabbit hole worth going down!
Yes my babies came to the earth during this time !❤❤ I love their songs especially , When love calls and Masterpiece! ❤
Losing You by Atlantic Starr is an underrated classic

It's believe that the don't make music like they made it
Back in the day I'm 62 years old there or Artistes In this time frame that sing so beautifully and real to the heart that they to will be spoken of with the same wonder as those in time pass like your Kems Anthony Hamiltons ,M Soulchild Keisha C ,Her Ella's M, Avant, Maxwell, and the list gose on but what I believe is missing is the Hearts of these young that thinks what's love got to do about it. People nowadays are so scared of g5 hurt that they throw up they're guards to keep from getting hurt . What they don't know is this type of adduetued robs them of the beauty of real love one most open themselves up to the joy and pain that comes with True love if you shone the pains that comes through your interactions with be in a relationship you will never reap the the joy that comes from being in love with another.
you don't need to ask what women did to deserve this kind of song, When you smile you make a man like me wanna sing.
These guys are gentlemen
That’s Love 💕 love between a man and a women….and we sing with a perfect combination…this is why God made a woman for a man..we are perfect together…..that’s what the Lord said…..fiire works❤
Ooooooh! My Gosh! Yessss
🤣😆😆🤣🤣 this is one of my favorite youtubers of music reactions. this woman is hilarious. be cracking me up. 🤣😆🤣😆✌️💯👍
Silver Shadow. Second to None Touch a four leaf clover just a little bit more of the Atlantic Starr catalog 😊
The incomparable Sharon Bryant is the female lead vocalist for this one. She was the first and, in my opinion, greatest female lead for Atlantic Starr. Do yourself a favor and go and listed to "Losing You".
This song is a 10
A favorite of mine in 1982.
Women really gave all of themselves to their men back then. It's only when the break up of our homes began to really take root. Then the musical production industry began to choose what the message would be, that we started to see the disintegration of our love for one another. I miss the love.❤
Their best song imo is Closer. Give it a listen.
Doesn’t get any better
I love them I also had a chance to meet them they came to my High school when they made Circles in Mount Vernon NY, in my brother knew them my brother played the bass guitar
Keith Sweat and Xscape did a great job with this song in 1997, 17 years later. Check out the official video
