The fear and trepidation of asking that girl across the room to dance. And while the song plays, you realize your heartbeat is perfectly in tune with the beat of the song. ❤😂
I lived with my grandparents and uncles when I was 14, and one of my uncles was a fan of The Manhattans, he would listen it almost every day when he arrived from work... He passed away in 2021 from COVID-19, and listening to these divine tunes makes me remind me of his kindness, his honest smile and his lame dad jokes... RIP tío Eli!
My husband was a beautiful singer, he would sing this song to me we were so young and in love, he passed away last year, 43 years of marriage we loved music!
Shout out to ALL the Real lovers out there. True Love never dies. Dedicate this song to my wonderful husband of 19 years. You still make me feel like your shining star...God knows you are mine. Loving you is one of my greatest accomplishments.
No no i can follow the man's bellow im the guy that can sing every one's love song 😢it's so true im amazing...someone...listen im truly the one who can sing Manhattans , Ale green I can sing , Marvin gay, I can sing James blunt the best out of all 150 songs on my play list. And they all are Epics. Unchained melody's ,Ed Sheridan, many many more .....I wish the world would find me i sparkle , I have geo shapes , the shine that emites light from wich my surfaces reflect the fragments are brighter than any quazar star in the night sky . I am an unfound gem a Dimond that has no need for cutting. For im a dime piece . I must be found . Not desperate to be noticed. Gems are sought after. ...cone find me ill surprise you not just with the most diverse vocals I've ever heard with pin point pitch perfection. My name is Atom
Sitting here listening to these old songs and crying. Their will never be music like this again. But I do have my memories of days long ago with all the good times and music.
🌟 This song reminds me of my Mom and Dad. I remember seeing them dance to this song when I was a little girl. Over 35 years together, and they are still each other's shining star ⭐️✨
I love Beautiful examples! My husband and I are the same. 19 years and we're still each other's shining 🌟 star. Shout out to all the real lovers out there 💛 ❤ 💓
I disagree. You have changed, not human nature. You used to have more illusions about other people. This tune was released in 1980. Even a tIny peek at that decade -- let alone the preceding 5,000 years of written history -- shows terrible atrocities happening routinely. You and me are no doubt fine people, but we all "remember" things as we imagined them, not as they were. I remember the 60s as being full of optimism -- because I was. But older people remember lynchings, shootings, polio, indoor smoking, and terrible car safety. The 80s were filled with war (Lebanon, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Ireland, South Africa, India) and terrible music (not this, of course) and cocaine. Asking God to change things...is it really possible for something to happen against God's will? I'm not trying to troll. I do think misplaced nostalgia causes the very problems it claims to want to reverse,,,because shifting into reverse without looking backwards never comes out well.
@@andrewzboard I’m 62, it sounds like you are a bit older. Of course things have changed looking back 50-55 years. Just look at this group’s appearance. Well groomed and well dressed. Now they got tats on thier necks and pants falling off, lol 50 years ago people didn’t lock thier doors even in some big cities. Smaller towns never. An 8-10 year old kid could go out with a rake or snow shovel and make a few bucks, without worrying about stranger danger. Nobody brought guns to school and did school shootings. They just duked it out with fists. I still think men and women treated each other with more respect. You bring up valid points too . Being homeless 50-55 years ago was against the law. Women were brought in out of the cold . Men were given a chance and help to find a job . And the police would call around to help the guy get work and a room to rent . If he kept losing his job and living drunk in the park or woods , he would be arrested for vagrancy. And maybe that would help him get a taste of how valuable freedom is. They didn’t have the mass drug problem or divorce rate in the 50,s . 60,s , 70,s and 80,s brought it from 10-20 percent to 50 percent. I guess the free love thing hurt too many feelings.
December 10th 1978 my hubby and I met. Danced to this song so many times. He dedicated this song to me for my 30th birthday party. Still going strong!!! Celebrating 40 years of marriage and thanking God for His perfect peace, joy, love and WISDOM through it ALL!!!😊🙏🙏🙏
Remember rewinding my TDK cassette using my pencil a thousand times to practice the lyrics of this song so I could serenade to my girlfriend. That shining star ⭐️ is my wife today! 🇿🇦❤️
This was my High school sweetheart and my song, he could walk in a room and I would get butterflies. I was only fourteen years old when he asked me to the July 4th fireworks at our high-school football field, my mom had to drive me to meet him because he was a month away from getting his license. Things were so different back then, 1980. I close my eyes when i hear this song and see us as teenagers so madly in love. Two sons and 42 years later and we are still together. He's the love of my life, truly my one true ❤️ love.
True role models which we have in short supply this days. Most celebrity are known for multiple relationships and kids all over the country. God bless you and keep you for each other. ❤❤
The Manhattans did a concert at Marine Base Camp Lejeune. I had the honor and privilege of being their escort for the day and interview them for the base newspaper. A truly class act, great men!
My, My, those AMAZING Manhattans. Still listening in 2024! One of my favorite groups. This song is still a classic. I went to their concerts back in the day several times. Each show was the BOMB! Rest in ❤❤❤ Bivins, Lovett and Tyson. Gerald, keep doing what you are doing (you are awesome)!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s ironic that the Manhattans are one of my favorite groups ever just as the Shirelles were back in the 60s with Gerald’s mother Shirley as their lead singer. Now you know I’m old.
It was easier to make music like that back in the day because the atmosphere was soul great especially if you was in love. I believe, and this is my opinion, they don't make music like this because the atmosphere is so different these days.
Because this requires authentic talent and musicianship. Most people would rather listen to either simple Country or hip hop today. Glad I grew up with real music.
They don't have the talent. I like all types of music, Country, Jazz , R&B and Rock and Roll. But it takes talent to do great music 🎵. And the talent is short now.
+Sharlene Probert im only 43 I agree with you R&B ballads were so romantic in early 80s a lot better today unless its old school comebacks no bump and brind crap!!!! Pure Ballads
Play this all the time around your kids, that's how they pick it up......its how I did!!! This my folks music. Thanks to YT, the jobs made even easier.
This was my song to my Husband who was in the Marine Corp. Loved seeing him come and absolutely hated when he had to leave. I would listen this song & cry for him everyday. I could handle it better when he was on base. But when they went out the country for maneuvers, out on ships for months, training in the jungles or wherever there were things that could eat him or was shooting at him made me inconsolable. He was there for 6 years, but to me it was like 20. They hard for being apart, but he was so worth the wait ❤💙❤
Yes I'm just as good you should hear me?... oh what does it matter. I'm probably the most diverse song singer of this area and beyond. But no one will have me what a cruel world this truly is why won't the world understand I'm the man the a legend in my own right just the words I know alone to the songs I know is emence. Every song means something special to me every so g has a favorite part every song has its challenges everyone if you only knew it would be the biggest the best of a revealing something in ordinary something with real grit and great side by side comparison. Well that's all everyone good luck to the first finder of my gem
Me I'm right here as well on this Tuesday August 6th 2024. This songs increases my joy and frequency and so many other things going forward. Gratefully, Carla 😊❤
I agree with the lady about wish the generation today would learn to listen to this type of music instead of the terrible words of the music that they have today just terrible 😞
❤I got a man who loves me with all his heart, and he knows how much I love him ❤️ Victor, you are my everything, and you are my shining star 2024 and the best is yet to come I love you more 💋 Victor ❤
As the Lyrics go Brenda...I'll be by your side until my dying day. And yes..."I Do" Love You and I am Sure of it Brenda. I've no=ever been so sure of myself, Like I am about my Love for you. I Love You too...Te Amo Mucho Brenda, hoy, manana y siempre, Te Amo con Todo Mi Corazon. 💘♥💘
I personally know Gerald Alston and he is a fine person, quite the gentleman and all-around great man to know. 2020. He will always be that shining star.
I've always loved the Manhattans this is one of my favorite songs by them . I still have my 45 vinyl record of this song and my 45 record of kiss and say goodbye . Them were the good old days . Wish music was still like this
Shining Star ✨✨✨ heard this song on the radio when I was quite young with my mother actually. I love The Manhattans and the old R&B groups of my youth.Great sounds and vocals from a much missed simpler time and era that can’t be reproduced and compares to nothing nowadays.Nothing today compares to this music. This song truly comes straight from the heart.🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️🪩🪩🪩🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻✨✨✨
Acho Tá Na minha mãe não tá com você boa noite dorme com deus e o sonho que eu é uma pessoa incrível que eu vou fazer pra vc é que não sei como é meu nome que é que não sei como é e eu tô com Deus e se cuida de mim não dá pra ir para a tá bom yyyy e vc é uma mulher que tá tá bom então não sei o que eu faço e não sei onde é o sonho é na hora que lindo eu não sei onde é que RAFAEL ☺️
Songs that made me cry. Kiss and Say Goodbye, Oh,Girl,Have You Seen Her, Shining Star,and,I Want to Get Next To You. I still cry from the moment you hear him sing... Honey,you are my shining star don't you go away😢
Legends! There will never be songs like these made anymore. Songs like this took great genuine emotion and honesty sincerity that many people just don't have today. It makes me sad.
Wow such a beautiful and timeless song, this song as well reminds me of mom and dad. 53 years together through thick and thin raising four kids on very little income. They truly are each other's shining star. Mom, dad I love you both so much, and I'm greatful and honored to be called your son and being raised right and in a Christian home. You guys are my life, my rock and my everything.😘❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹
Tenho 44 anos de idade. Impossivel ouvir e nao lembrar da Rádio Antena 1. Foi por ela que conheci esta linda musica lá no inicio dos anos 90! Enquanto os outros estavam ouvindo "Mamonas Assassinas" e "É o Tchan"(não é de hoje que podreiras musicais como pisadinha e sertanojo existem) naquela época, eu estava ouvindo esta linda musica na Rádio Antena 1. Sempre gostei de boas musicas e continuo aqui ouvindo o que é de qualidade. O que é bom é para sempre. Sei e tenho certeza de que fiz a escolha musical certa e jamais irei me arrepender.
Nesse momento fazia 34 anos que eu não ouvia essa música( idade do meu marido hoje). Eu ouvia na rádio tropical essa música em muitas noites, daquele difícil ano de 1988 em minha adolescência numa escola católica.
Theres a strength in this song i sang growing up, i performed this manytimes meaning with my whole heart, Mom& Dad shining star down upon me dont you go away!! Thank Our lord for brining me this far 50 yrs later
Quem viveu, viveu! Melhor época! Romantismo, cavalheirismo, paquera, paixão....que época maravilhosa!!!! Os jovens da atualidade nunca saberão o que é isso! Onde erramos????
I remembered when my mom would have this song blasting on Saturday mornings while she was cleaning. It brings back precious memories of the love that she and my dad had for each other. He passed away last year.❤
What a classic. I was 12 when this came out and it takes me back to a simpler time of junior high school and having crushes. :) It was on the radio a lot in 1980. Beautiful voice!!!
Were you only 2 when this song came out cause you don't look that old Ma'am...born in 79 but grew up listening to all these old school R&B with my older brother and still do
April 2024 I'm here in Sydney Australia. I love the choreography. How the lead singer is at the back at the start. How the front guys put their microphone stands at the back. It's all special. Original. Out of the box. So uplifting.
Meu pai ama ouvir essas músicas, quando escuto só consigo lembrar dele, de todos momentos felizes que vivemos juntos, paizinho obrigada pelo bom gosto musical ❤ eu sei que ainda vamos escutar muito ela juntos ❤
Heard that song in a store in NYC a couple of days ago and am absolutely in awe 😊
The fear and trepidation of asking that girl across the room to dance. And while the song plays, you realize your heartbeat is perfectly in tune with the beat of the song. ❤😂
I hope you did it😅
Perfectly said ❤
It`s called coming of age!
I'll take this kind of music 24/7/365 . Over the garbage they make now.
I lived with my grandparents and uncles when I was 14, and one of my uncles was a fan of The Manhattans, he would listen it almost every day when he arrived from work...

@@southbug27 , God bless you too... Next month it will be 2 years... The good memories will always stay with me...
Sorry for you lost am so sorry God bless you❤
sorry for the loss bro
This was a song my husband always sang to me, we were young & in love. He's gone now but this song brings back so many memories of our life together.
😢
This was also my husband and I song . We were also young and so in love! I too had to give him back to the Lord God 20 full moons ago .
Love it
Back when men loved women, sang love songs!! The 70s era was the BEST!!
Sorry for your loss, but you didn't lose the love. ❤

Those were the music of my youth and still listening to it 😍 you got good taste in music .
Thank U for sharing...
Do your best not to be sad it’s a blessing when you can recognize good music
There's one singer/songwriter that is writing songs very close to that era and it's Ed Sheeran love his music

My husband was a beautiful singer, he would sing this song to me we were so young and in love, he passed away last year, 43 years of marriage we loved music!

This is when A woman was cherished and respected. Lord please bring this back to our young generation.
A woman was respected, and a man was respected, Because people respected themselves and knew that self esteem came from doing esteemable things.
For sure Grady, something went haywire the past 20-30 years. Not with everyone, but too many.
I disagree. You have changed, not human nature. You used to have more illusions about other people.

This was my song to my Husband who was in the Marine Corp. Loved seeing him come and absolutely hated when he had to leave. I would listen this song & cry for him everyday. I could handle it better when he was on base. But when they went out the country for maneuvers, out on ships for months, training in the jungles or wherever there were things that could eat him or was shooting at him made me inconsolable. He was there for 6 years, but to me it was like 20. They hard for being apart, but he was so worth the wait ❤💙❤
Wish we could have good music like this once more never gets old

Yes, Yes, And Yes. I miss this type of Quality, Smiles, Kindness, Hopefulness Happiness 😊😌🎉😂❤
Yes I'm just as good you should hear me?... oh what does it matter. I'm probably the most diverse song singer of this area and beyond. But no one will have me what a cruel world this truly is why won't the world understand I'm the man the a legend in my own right just the words I know alone to the songs I know is emence. Every song means something special to me every so g has a favorite part every song has its challenges everyone if you only knew it would be the biggest the best of a revealing something in ordinary something with real grit and great side by side comparison. Well that's all everyone good luck to the first finder of my gem

When music groups were serious about presentation and entertaining their audiences! So respectful and gorgeous!
I gave you a tombs up because this is music & young ones now vocals r so good but no presentation level it a hit but soft blow won't stay wit u
Naomi ! Sensational comment. 👏👏👏
I agree with the lady about wish the generation today would learn to listen to this type of music instead of the terrible words of the music that they have today just terrible 😞
The artist who sing love songs like this are far and in between. This was music!
These old school groups had the smoothest dance moves.
No auto tunes, no effects just pure music
Esse é o padrão de Elegância e música de qualidade.......02/04/2019
Verdade
Concordo com você !!!
Os melhores ...pena que não existe mais baladas que toquem essas músicas.
12/07/2019... concordo plenamente com você!
🎶🎶🎵🎧🎵🎶🎶🎶💋
1970's/ What a decade of great music. Before auto tune. Real voices. Real music. The special effects were provided by the sheer talent.
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can makes you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello makes you smile
So absolutely perfect......real talent.
YES ❤YES ❤YES ❤
I MISS YOU..Thurston ❤😢❤😢

I personally know Gerald Alston and he is a fine person, quite the gentleman and all-around great man to know. 2020. He will always be that shining star.
Amen to that.
Quando estiver com ele diga que ele tem uma FÃ no BRASIL que ama muito todos do conjunto 😘😘❤️❤️👏🏿👏🏿
Eita que saudades dessas músicas tempo bom que ficaram na memória de quem viveu e dançou
Vamos dançar?
Eu sou desta época boa na minha adolescência, dancei muito essa é outras músicas do gênero com as garotas nas festinhas, tempo bom
I've always loved the Manhattans this is one of my favorite songs by them . I still have my 45 vinyl record of this song and my 45 record of kiss and say goodbye . Them were the good old days . Wish music was still like this
Shining Star ✨✨✨ heard this song on the radio when I was quite young with my mother actually. I love The Manhattans and the old R&B groups of my youth.Great sounds and vocals from a much missed simpler time and era that can’t be reproduced and compares to nothing nowadays.Nothing today compares to this music. This song truly comes straight from the heart.🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️🪩🪩🪩🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻✨✨✨

Difinitivame
Oldies like this are golden 🌟 🔥
Songs that made me cry. Kiss and Say Goodbye, Oh,Girl,Have You Seen Her, Shining Star,and,I Want to Get Next To You. I still cry from the moment you hear him sing... Honey,you are my shining star don't you go away😢
Legends! There will never be songs like these made anymore. Songs like this took great genuine emotion and honesty sincerity that many people just don't have today. It makes me sad.
Great comment.
Without a Doubt one of the top ballads of all time
Wow such a beautiful and timeless song, this song as well reminds me of mom and dad. 53 years together through thick and thin raising four kids on very little income. They truly are each other's shining star. Mom, dad I love you both so much, and I'm greatful and honored to be called your son and being raised right and in a Christian home. You guys are my life, my rock and my everything.😘❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹
Way to say it to them. Good job. Blessings
Parabéns
Once again I will claim this as one of the best songs of my life
Love The Manhattans. The outfits and dance moves by them and other groups of the genre are missed.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I have said this before and I will say it again one of the best songs ever written and sung no one can beat it
Sincronia,música e voz perfeitas....
Tenho 44 anos de idade. Impossivel ouvir e nao lembrar da Rádio Antena 1. Foi por ela que conheci esta linda musica lá no inicio dos anos 90! Enquanto os outros estavam ouvindo "Mamonas Assassinas" e "É o Tchan"(não é de hoje que podreiras musicais como pisadinha e sertanojo existem) naquela época, eu estava ouvindo esta linda musica na Rádio Antena 1. Sempre gostei de boas musicas e continuo aqui ouvindo o que é de qualidade. O que é bom é para sempre. Sei e tenho certeza de que fiz a escolha musical certa e jamais irei me arrepender.
Nesse momento fazia 34 anos que eu não ouvia essa música( idade do meu marido hoje). Eu ouvia na rádio tropical essa música em muitas noites, daquele difícil ano de 1988 em minha adolescência numa escola católica.
REAL MUSIC
REAL SINGERS
REAL LYRICS
REALLY AWESOME.......Tears!!!
I just love Gerald Alston , his singing is so smooth. This is what you call real music . his songs take you back to what they called the good old days
Reminds me of my late father.. may you continue to reset in peace...
Theres a strength in this song i sang growing up, i performed this manytimes meaning with my whole heart, Mom& Dad shining star down upon me dont you go away!! Thank Our lord for brining me this far 50 yrs later
Quem viveu, viveu! Melhor época! Romantismo, cavalheirismo, paquera, paixão....que época maravilhosa!!!! Os jovens da atualidade nunca saberão o que é isso! Onde erramos????
Se você nasceu nos anos 60, nós não erramos e sim acertamos e tivemos a oportunidade de curtir essa época maravilhosa.
I remembered when my mom would have this song blasting on Saturday mornings while she was cleaning. It brings back precious memories of the love that she and my dad had for each other. He passed away last year.❤
❤
My condolences 😢
Definitivamente los mejores cantantes fueron de esta epoca
Jesus..you are da shining star.amen.
Amen, Jesus is the Light of the World!
What a classic. I was 12 when this came out and it takes me back to a simpler time of junior high school and having crushes. :) It was on the radio a lot in 1980. Beautiful voice!!!
Were you only 2 when this song came out cause you don't look that old Ma'am...born in 79 but grew up listening to all these old school R&B with my older brother and still do
Likewise that's how old I was back then.
Me too.😁
Hi⅚
Should have charted so much higher. Such a shame
Isso sim era música de verdade!

Opa

Elegância e linda voz, tudo de bom 💓
Opaa

Saudade tempos muitos bons
SP BRASIL, salveee. Conhecendo Manhattans hoje

Sis I hope you can hear this in heaven. I remember kareokee and you singing this. Love you.
Hopefully we will be together again. Love and miss you.
Old but golden y'all!!
98 baby ,these are my kinda jams💎
TIMELESS AND SENSATIONAL 🔥
This song has been stuck in my head for a few days 🖤🖤🖤
April 2024 I'm here in Sydney Australia. I love the choreography. How the lead singer is at the back at the start. How the front guys put their microphone stands at the back. It's all special. Original. Out of the box. So uplifting.
Meu pai ama ouvir essas músicas, quando escuto só consigo lembrar dele, de todos momentos felizes que vivemos juntos, paizinho obrigada pelo bom gosto musical ❤ eu sei que ainda vamos escutar muito ela juntos ❤
Reminiscing with tears ❤️ about family & friends past & present that hold an indelible place in my heart.
Grandes recuerdos trae esta canción... Lastima q música como esta no vuelva a salir... Gracias x tan bella música...
This song is simply brilliant! The choreography is simply inimitable! I love these great musicians! I wish I could go back in time to them!
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can makes you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello makes you smile
Absolutely. Thank you Lewis.
@@sheilaweaver-philip1677 You're welcome here, Where are you from?
The most soulful group ever. Cool, smooth, gentlemen, totally unique, no other soul group anything like them.
O Stylistics também eram ótimos !
🎉🎉😂
Socooooorro acho q nasci na época errada... Eita qta elegância, top top!!!!
Sim! Concordo Contigo! Canção Maravilhosa! Bons Tempos! Um Grande Abraço!
Pena que hoje, 2020 e há uns bons anos que já não temos mais qualidade musical.😔
I'm crying now, this song 🎵 is amazing. 🇺🇸
