I know, huh. Now it's up to 94 idiots. This is one of the best I've heard right up there with Marvin's original, The Pointer Sisters, Roberta Flack, Michael McDonald, Robert Palmer, Hall and Oats, Jessie Colin Young, John Legend and Usher.
She has such an amazing voice and she reminds me of Anita Baker.... My favorite song of her's is GO OUTSIDE IN THE RAIN. MILIRA was such an underrated talent ‼️
I still am. So obsessed I paid $50 for her cd a month ago 😊 Been wearing out my car speakers every since. My 5 year old knows the words already to this and Go Outside In The Rain
I remember her..... i was just to young to TRULY appreciate her instrument. You can hear so many of "THE GREATS" in her! Anita Baker stands out the most. I'm willing to bet Anita is one of her favorites. I know she is one of my Favorites. This was a Bad chick...
tlover1062, I agree with you 100%, Marvin is very pleased with her version of his song. I dont think anyone could have done it better than her. Man! What a talent!!!!!!
Wow, lord have mercy, “All Hail To Queen Milira”, I’m 50+, you have been in my “archives” for many years, when I see your outstanding video, when I see you, the lyrics, the historical photos of some amazingly talented people, the amazing instruments, Queen, I’m moved, mentally, emotionally, psychologically and indeed physically, the instruments make the hair on the back of my neck stand-up, you indeed did your thing with this one, I wholeheartedly admire you, from a Black Queen to another Black Queen, every word within “Mercy, mercy me” that you sang here we are many years enduring the exact, we’re still suffering, we’ve continued to reap the mediocrity, as Beautiful Black Women it’s still the continuance of not being respected, Queen, I pray The Almighty God has continued to cover you and your family with His grace, His mercy and blessings. Flowers to you 🎼⭐️🌹🌷🙏🌺
Milira's version is a very great rendition of Marvins song and it doesn't take away from the meaning of the album I grew up in the Marvin Gaye era back when he sang Stubborn Kind of Fella and I bet if he heard this version he would be grinning from ear to ear.
DANG! Anita Baker, Sarah Vaughan, Teena Maria all mixed up in one. DAMN! Where she AT! How come folks like her just disappear and leave us at the mercy of this mediocrity crowding the airwaves today... sigh. :(
I hope you've heard of October London & his The Rebirth of Marvin album. If not, PLEASE check it out. Every song is 🔥 & it's crazy how much he sounds like Marvin.
Still here in 2019. Takn this one on my highway drive to work baby and dare someone to look at me crazy trying to be Milira while driving 😜😜😌😂 Mindn my business on the way to work 🤗 Happy Sunday all 😘
Love love love. I can't even talk in complete sentences. One of best remakes. Her voice is amazing, the scatting, the UNIQUENESS, the baby Anita Baker vibe, the shear enjoyment that she conveys, her beauty and them damn jeans.....😍😍😍
All of it and the transition from string 🎻to horn 🎷 is nothing short of amazing and let's not forget the drummer. Whew Jesus! They smoked this production 🔥
Me either and I love him. She was working with man before I realized who he truly was and still is. Got his jazz cd Love Songs and not a song on there I don't love
+Denise Batts! I still have the cassette as well...!!! I remember seeing her perform this & Go Outside In The Rain at the Apollo!!! She sent chills up & down my spine!!! Such an under-rated artist, because she could SANG!!!
34 people must not be aware of good music Milira is 1 of thee best and I Love love her music but that's alright because the 1k likes of the video surely have made up for the 34 dislikes haha looool :-) :) 😂😅😆
LORD HAVE MERCY MILIRA!!!😂😂WHERE ARE YOU NOW!!! YOU CAN SANG WITH THE BEST...I HEARD THIS SONG WHEN I FIRST MET MY SPECIAL FRIEND, AND IT WAS RAINING and this SONG CAME ON...IT TOUCHED MY SOUL⚘⚘YOU ARE TRULY ONE OF THE BEST, WHERE ARE YOU NOW??? GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL😁⚘
I'd also like to give props to who ever put this on UA-cam I had been looking for it for what seems like years! Did not remember how to spell her name thanx so much!!!!
Milira added her own Sweet Ingredient to this Classic like She Owed it, What a Great cover.🎶 Makes me want to explore Jazzy Vocalist🎶 Grrrreat My Sista'!!👍
This song will ALWAYS give me chills. The thousands of memories. Still play this at weddings and clubs and it still gets them off their seats in 2014. Fatima Rainey's - Hey does so as well.
I got introduce to this lady while attending York College in NYC. I instantly fell in love with her voice. Today I'm still searching to replace the Solution album. If anyone knows where I can purchase a copy of the solution album as the cassette is not the idea thing anymore. My cousin who was visiting at the time would run the poor cassette over and over. She even used it as a warm up for her vocals before singing. I wish she had gotten the exposure she truly deserved. Truly a talented respectable lady. Big fan!
My cd 💿 just arrived today. I ordered it from Amazon and it's very expensive. I pay for good music I know are masterpieces. You can't by collectibles everywhere
I just realized that Milira Jones' second stanza of skat in this song (1990) and Mary J. Blige's skat in "All Night Long" (1994) start off the same way. Mary must've been a fan of this track. 😁
she had a couple duets on that album to that was great. she put me to sleep at nite woman can sang. I just love how she just play wit notes bad!!!!! woman bad!!!!!!
41 people have lost their damn mind....milira is nothing short of AMAZING!!
I know, huh. Now it's up to 94 idiots. This is one of the best I've heard right up there with Marvin's original, The Pointer Sisters, Roberta Flack, Michael McDonald, Robert Palmer, Hall and Oats, Jessie Colin Young, John Legend and Usher.
Amen
Amen Mercy Mercy Me
FACTS
👋🏽🥂👍🏽🥂

I Agree
She surely wasn't. She has such a BEAUTIFUL sultry voice.
I agree with u because her voice is so incredible. .. I'm still a big fan of hers.... this is one badddddd sista..
@@godzgirlh7564 iagree she never got her props awe some voice
I regret not knowing/listening to Milira's until today (1/17/2023).
This is what I call REAL MUSIC!!!!
Let the church say Amen on that cuz cuz this world is going through a change right now but not for the better 😢
I almost cried soon as the beat dropped. It brings back so many good memories
Soooo sooo many memories! One of the best times of my life. I use to sing the ish outta this song, and I was only 12 y/o!! 😂
Same here.
Hell yea
@@incognitondcsamee ❤😢
I love this version, she is so talented.
This is one of the best covers out there, she took Marvin’s song and made it her own while not leaving Marvin distinctive touch out. Love it!
She has such an amazing voice and she reminds me of Anita Baker.... My favorite song of her's is GO OUTSIDE IN THE RAIN. MILIRA was such an underrated talent ‼️
I was obsessed with her voice when she first came out. She can SANG!
I still am. So obsessed I paid $50 for her cd a month ago 😊 Been wearing out my car speakers every since. My 5 year old knows the words already to this and Go Outside In The Rain
OGG Yes
It's 2024 and I'm still obsessed with her voice, God given talent
Love her ... she is in the same vein / class as Ms. Phyllis Hyman another great and underrated vocalist of her time .
I used to listen to this song over and over again. Her rendition is so jazzy and pure.
Way ahead of her time, back in the day.
great remake!
Priscilla Clanton-Johnson So true...
Absolutely
I love when the remakes challenge or better the original
I love her remake of this song! Man, listen to those strings! No better remake for me! Go Milara!
Yeeeeessss ❤🎵🎻🎷🎼🥁🎻
She did a fabulous job,Marvin would be proud of her version;
So Glad I found her again!! I wore her album out. She is amazing!!! I am almost in tears, I have been trying to remember her name for forever!!!!!
Same Here.. AWESOME ARTIST💯❣️
Milira is totally awesome and can listen to her every day. Her voice is mesmerizing!!
Happy 50th Birthday Milira Jones!(Born September 27, 1969)😀🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🖤🌷🌹💐🎀👍🏿👏🏿🙌🏿
That's my Libra.
I gotta say she blew me away with her version! She’s freaking amazing!!!!!💯💖👏🏾
Love Milira! Could not have been done better! Marvin would smile!
Absolutely beautiful!! I think Marvin would have liked this
Such a great number...of her ❤️! Like it so much. She is so underrated 😰...but so talented
Great voice I love it. 💙💙💙
Sing it Milira. Love the jazz part. Love how you put that spin on it!
What a fantastic version this!!!! Go girl👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Milira is on the great Marvin Gaye heels with her version of such a priceless and masterful song".......timeless!!!!!!!
Do you mean she is the real writen mercy mercy me ???
She did a good job, but Marvin is untouchable.
Agree wholeheartedly
I remember her..... i was just to young to TRULY appreciate her instrument. You can hear so many of "THE GREATS" in her! Anita Baker stands out the most. I'm willing to bet Anita is one of her favorites. I know she is one of my Favorites. This was a Bad chick...
thanks so much! on behalf of my cousin...check her out on the gospel circuit. shes still here gurrrl!!!!
...Anita Baker style...
Both her Anita Baker studied Sara Vaughn who were their inspiration. Probably why their sounds are familiar
I love listening to her. I sing Go outside in the rain all the time. Definitely a voice I can listen to all the time.
Ain't nobody like her til this day! 👊🏾💯🎉❤️🖤💚
This remake brings back so many memories. Got s little emotional hearing this remake. I miss the 90's music era. I absolutely love Milira's vocals.
This woman voice is awesome 👏🏽 💯❤️🎼
I never knew she had a video for this song and I enjoyed watching it. You go girl!
My best friend had this timeless classic of album! The vibe was undeniable of her wonderful talent! Peace!
Such a truly talented artist. Always know that Milira. GIFTED!!
I wish we could go back to great music and great singers like this..
Wow a blast from the past! ***😍***
This Song Is 25 Years Old And Still Sounds Great. 1/5/14.
MILIRA IS THE REASON SOME OF FAVS ARE HERE TODAY PAY RESPECT TO THIS WOMAN!!!! #QUEEN
Yes indeed
Here on 2020 appreciating her artistry and the vocal refinement she puts in everything. Especially on this remake.
tlover1062, I agree with you 100%, Marvin is very pleased with her version of his song. I dont think anyone could have done it better than her. Man! What a talent!!!!!!
No one at all. She spanked this piece
Let’s see... the best part of this song is from 0:01 - 4:13! That scatting though... GOOSEBUMPS!
Go listen to her song That Four Letter Word

AMAZING VOICE...👄👄👄🎤🎤🎤🎤🍸🍸🍸MILIRA
I can imagine Marin Gaye standing in the gates of heaven just applauding her for this...such a beautiful song, much love !
So much energy in this. I find myself dancing just like she is 💃
@@adriannewilson714 dance on hunty ❤️
1 WORD......CLASS........................
Sho nuff
Man her voice is so captivating I wish her and Anita Baker collaborated back than she made beautiful 🎶
Have not heard a voice like this in a long time. Thank you Milira.
Milira's version is a very great rendition of Marvins song and it doesn't take away from the meaning of the album I grew up in the Marvin Gaye era back when he sang Stubborn Kind of Fella and I bet if he heard this version he would be grinning from ear to ear.
The lyrics in this song....is what we're currently going through now.
This song is so true in this day and time. How much more abuse from a man can it stand. Oil wasting in the ocean. Mercy mercy me
Ironic that oil has spilled on the ocean last week
how can anyone dislike this?!!? soul and jazz at its finest:)
DANG! Anita Baker, Sarah Vaughan, Teena Maria all mixed up in one. DAMN! Where she AT! How come folks like her just disappear and leave us at the mercy of this mediocrity crowding the airwaves today... sigh. :(
Milira Jones does this version the best,she bring more life into this song...I don't think someone else will ever does it better...90s at its best
Couldn't agree more
Still the jam in 2018!
Love it💥 i can hear some Sarah Vaughan in her voice❤
how can anyone dislike this!??!Soul and Jazz at its finest:)))))))))))))))))I've never heard someone's voice be so at ease with a instrument!!WOW!:))
She reminds me of ❤️Ms.Anita Baker❤️sheer talent!!
I usually don't like remakes but this one was truly awesome. This was my favorite song and video during that time.
I cried when Marvin left us , but praise to God for those who keeps great music alive !
I hope you've heard of October London & his The Rebirth of Marvin album. If not, PLEASE check it out. Every song is 🔥 & it's crazy how much he sounds like Marvin.
Still here in 2019. Takn this one on my highway drive to work baby and dare someone to look at me crazy trying to be Milira while driving 😜😜😌😂 Mindn my business on the way to work 🤗 Happy Sunday all 😘
Love love love. I can't even talk in complete sentences. One of best remakes. Her voice is amazing, the scatting, the UNIQUENESS, the baby Anita Baker vibe, the shear enjoyment that she conveys, her beauty and them damn jeans.....😍😍😍
All of it and the transition from string 🎻to horn 🎷 is nothing short of amazing and let's not forget the drummer. Whew Jesus! They smoked this production 🔥
She was wearing those jeans!!
What a voice! So underrated, along with Tamia, Chante Moore, Angie Stone, Lalah Hathaway, Rachelle Ferrell and list goes on...
Did not know Najee was in this one! Instant classic!!!
Me either and I love him. She was working with man before I realized who he truly was and still is. Got his jazz cd Love Songs and not a song on there I don't love
Seems as if all the great singers fade away from the music industry. She was a favorite of mine. She never got the Recognition she deserved.
Underrated for sure!!! Love her!!!
Damn... The violin player got funky on this... Never heard a violin with so much soul and funk in it before
i remember when i first heard this song i fell in love with it Milira did her thing i still have the cassette
+denise batts i was 6 years old in the first grade and still remember this song crazy how i can remember this song oh yeah im 32 now lol

Looks like Queens, New York, Najee is on alto saxophone just doing his thing.
New York in da House 😊
This song will ALWAYS give me chills. The thousands of memories. Still play this at weddings and clubs and it still gets them off their seats in 2014. Fatima Rainey's - Hey does so as well.

Big fan!
My cd 💿 just arrived today. I ordered it from Amazon and it's very expensive. I pay for good music I know are masterpieces. You can't by collectibles everywhere
Thank you sooo much for sharing this Diva. I had forgotten about her. She is still my favorite. Just before her time.
she only 19 crazy skills sang girl
Absolutely true
I know right? The confidence and maturity in her voice is amazing. Truly ahead of her time. They don't make em like this nowadays.
I just realized that Milira Jones' second stanza of skat in this song (1990) and Mary J. Blige's skat in "All Night Long" (1994) start off the same way. Mary must've been a fan of this track. 😁
this is my third time watching this video and I will do it many more. I love this song.
she had a couple duets on that album to that was great. she put me to sleep at nite woman can sang. I just love how she just play wit notes bad!!!!! woman bad!!!!!!
She was only 19 too. Slept on in the 90's I got her Tape and Cd..
Miliria had a soulful voice.. I always like her sound.. She was real cool.
This Lady right here..2019 still loving her
I really miss her I wish she would come back and make one more record.
The homage paid in this video is enough to bring me to happy tears! Beautiful!
