Always a mystery to me how TTD wasn't an absolute megastar. He was the full package. Amazing voice, brilliant dancer, incredibly handsome, cool and a boxer as well.
@@onewoman4274 it had something to do with this. He shared the same record company has micheal Jackson. there was no problems for TTD in Europe and in the UK. but once he tried to crack the USA according to TTD he was told to water down his dance routine. TO TTD Micheal jackson was an icon so he was shocked that Micheal complained.
He was, and is ,then and now, a freaking genius, end of story. I know his first album was a hit, but he still never received the props his talent deserved, for some insane reason. I am still a huge fan.❤
I totally agree... I sometimes listen to his music on my way to work and I feel amazed about his great talent and voice. Incredible!! Saludos desde España!
One of the best dance/funk songs of ALL TIME!!! Channeling James Brown, Sam Cooke, David Ruffin, and throw in a pinch of Michael Jackson, a dash of John Cougar Mellencamp, a sprinkle of Prince.
I want to go back home to the 80's. Life was so much better. No covid-19 just life. I want to be a teenager again but with all this experience so I can make better choices.
There was, is still, no virus. Just another of their virus-boogeymen. This virus-boogeyman they are using to cover over our collapsing economy that they've plundered to the bone. Just as in 2007, our plundered economy began to collapse in the REPO market. By November it was clear they were either going to have to fess up to the situation or do something tyrannical to distract and mislead us. They chose tyrannical. Now, hate away, but I've been tracking their about every 18 month virus-boogeymen since 2009 and their plundering of our economy over many more years: I saw it coming for years. _Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission._
Based on his videos that I watched both.now and back in the original days and owning his music as well , then in my humble opinion , Terrrence Trent D'Arby had it all --- the dance moves in par with both James Brown & Michael Jackson , the musical talents of Prince , and the SOULFUL voice of James Brown with some Sam Cooke ! Basically , he was a SUOER NOVA with so much fieru radiance that he couldn't sustain his own STAR POWER ! Whatever people might say about him due to his misfortunatr downfall from popularity and fame --- his TALENT CAN NIT BE DENIED ! Terrence can sing with the All Stars if Soul ! Terrence can most definitely keep up with the Black and white ALL STARS of making wonderfully fun and interesting and entertaining music that still kicks ass for decades , including in this most Pernicious Covid-19 Pandemic Virus Era !
@@vizzini589 MJ screwed him over, because he felt threatened, being a light skinned great singer and dancer... MJ contacted the record company and stadium owners and told them, if he plays, I don't.... and that was the end of that.
I really missed his talent, wanted to hear more cz I loved his first album. He's been making music all along, but his subsequent work never attained the enormous success of his first album.
I’ve watched the interviews and there are many sides to the story. Those interviews are extraordinary! Extremely intelligent thinking about the business. In the end He is doing what he needs to do. He outshines ALL the people he performs with. Great artists can’t help that.
Fantastic, genius, immediately takes me back 35-38 years to the past. What a wonderful time, and back then I was young and beautiful. And now I am only beautiful ;-) Young has been lost.
Amazing tune! I saw him live supporting David Bowie, I stood on the pitch at Manchester City FC's Maine Rd Ground on the 'Glass Spider Tour'. Standing on the pitch of my beloved Football team ,and seeing Bowie, were two lifelong dreams fulfilled in one day as it was, but TTD and Alison Moyet, (who were both at the top of their game at the time) were the support acts! What a lineup! dx
With all due respect, why do I have this idea in my head that him and Prince MUST be related?! Such an uncanny resemblance physically!! Amazingly talented musically !! etc.But at the same time, they both have characteristics that make them unique. I love it. I love them. I love their music.
Brenda Brown he is still recording under a new name Brenda,his new name is Sanda Maytria,not so sure about the spelling ,but he is still touring and doing great!!!!
I am happy to see he is writing, creating, touring, and still sharing himself!!!! I thought, now that is the kind of musician we needed to cut through the top 40 mixer! Always a fan! ((I am a little sister!!!!))
I have loved you in all your forms I was once a Buddhist girl as Malford Milligan, but I thank you for inspiring the love that led to me marrying and having my daughter LeLe in 1990 after I listened to Sign Your Name so many times as I courted her father. Today she is a successful college counselor in Kilgore, Texas and although her father and I have not been together for many years that spark of inspiration and love still lives on in her.
You have no idea what a life saving song this is to my little sister, and me! It HAS to be performed by you alone though, doesn't work if anyone else is singing it.
I remember taking a lot of heat from my metal friends with this dude’s records in my collection…not long before I was being asked to “spin that TTD stuff” Talented dude for sure.
One of the best in my whole world (Lˋun des meilleurs de mon monde) Thanks to you all for that magnificent piece. (Merçi à vous tous pour cette magnifique pièçe). 💘 --- Québec (french) Can.
He should've been right there with Prince and MJ, but with more of a gritty edge. Bro is badass for sure and this song and video proves it. Thanks for posting!
I Remember Buying The "The Hardline According To" Cassette Tape 4 The Obvious Hits & This Jam Came On! I Was Instantly Hooked By That Funky, Nasty Hard Bassline!!
You want to know what talent sounds & look likes, well people here it is...vocals are perfect with a unique style that's all his & that band is tight! Wow!
This man was always talented it is so sad not all saw it and he came and he came well listen to the man yall he is a pioneer in the music industry do not care what nobody say he was awesome in ever Sphere every light every voice every energy he gave xoxo
@Kani Fuker Not the stringent, stiff, rule-making, rule following, sterile objective of getting from A to B that is rocket science - instead poetry in motion .
Closing my eyes, I hear James Brown. I don't remember this on my small town radio station. But it's amazing. He obviously grew up listening to James Brown.
I have been listening to this song a lot of years ago and it was always a pleasure listening to it,but now with the corona virus it gets a deeper meaning!!!The lyrics nowdays bring hope,happiness and courage!!!So i deeply thank Terrence for this song and singing,for the beautiful video and for the whole performance of his team!!!
@Sananda Maitreya Hey man you are and always were awesome. The Wishing Well hook is always coming and going from my subconscious, well done my friend. Steve
Terence's debut album is one of my personal favorites. It is one of those albums that I go back and listen to every summer. All the songs (including Dance Little Sister) are great and his singing voice is effin' amazing!
😘 Sooooo beautiful Terence Trent D'Arby in his young man, baby faced, body form richly as in beautifully mimicking the art of made-up communications in ways that some females and males communicate or can understand or can relate to by someway having learnt the art called words, tell, speak, say, talk, English.😊👉✌ Peace & respect to Terrance Trent D'Arby for sharing his nature's spirit's richness for many people to choose to enjoy to listen to for different reasons.
Its soo easy to see that he is heavily inspired by Prince and James Brown! A shame he went under the radar so quickly after theese handfull of hits he did in the 90s,my mom absolutely loved his voice,and being a massive Prince supporter myself,i quickly learned to like his music too!
Yeah ❤️❤️❤️❤️you !!! Dancing and working out to all your beautiful songs ! Bring In the 80 and (90s again please ! Your beyond gifted ! Your voice is of a angel !!!
He dropped out to be true to his music. He refused to be controlled by the industry. Thats success!
-> Nah. Not successful. He got full of himself + hubris.
Always a mystery to me how TTD wasn't an absolute megastar. He was the full package. Amazing voice, brilliant dancer, incredibly handsome, cool and a boxer as well.
He is a Megastar of the heart
Jay-- I don't understand it either. This guy is a BEAST!
@@onewoman4274 it had something to do with this.

He had a awesome voice. He was fascinating 🤗
Blame marketing. He should have been Michael Jackson's rival for fame.
I really thought he would go on to be one of the biggest singers ever. What a talent!
He changed his name to Sananda Maitreya and is still creating music. This is his UA-cam channel.
@@Ritalto No shit.
his personal views went against what they wanted for a black man in music so went off on his own
@@deannaridley9354 what were they??
@@deannaridley9354 Well for a brief stint he fronted for INXS after Michael Hutchence committed suicide.
He was, and is ,then and now, a freaking genius, end of story. I know his first album was a hit, but he still never received the props his talent deserved, for some insane reason. I am still a huge fan.❤
I totally agree... I sometimes listen to his music on my way to work and I feel amazed about his great talent and voice. Incredible!!
Saludos desde España!
Because you have 10 years to write your first album and 6 months to write your second....
One of the best dance/funk songs of ALL TIME!!! Channeling James Brown, Sam Cooke, David Ruffin, and throw in a pinch of Michael Jackson, a dash of John Cougar Mellencamp, a sprinkle of Prince.
Vincent Greer and a lot of Prince
Vincent you are right on point. All the ingredients. Love your recipe!
hes litterally in jojo, so if a japanese guy know him, he has to be famous in some kind
John Cougar? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@alvinnelson7539 ... Young Mellencamp was as formidable onstage as every performer that I mentioned.
When this dude first arrived in the mid-80's I really did think he was going to be the next Prince.
This dude is just so incredible! That album had multiple awesome tracks with different vibes and this video is unforgettable from the 80s.
I want to go back home to the 80's. Life was so much better. No covid-19 just life. I want to be a teenager again but with all this experience so I can make better choices.
So wish we all
So does everyone else....
Don’t we all!👍✌🏻
I believe this is a 90s song.

This is what you get if you take the best from prince. Michael Jackson and James brown and mix into one awesome package
Truly!
Uh... Not even close, but whatever you say
I want to go back to the 80's where life and music rocked the place
Same 80s rocked best years of my life ever 2020 sucks
I agree. 111%... L'chaim from Jerusalem
The 80s: _Lived 'em. Loved 'em. Miss 'em._
Me too ♥️
There is no words that can describe how much of an entertainer this artist is. He's an extraordinary person
One of the greatest voices in the history of music. No lie.
Glad to see he's got a UA-cam channel. Subscribed.
SirRealDeal...Amen! I second that💯
👍👍👍
One of the best voices ever to have been heard. Love this guy.
He is brilliant. Wonderful voice, the moves and oozing charisma.
Yes, but self destructed.

Sign your name, and Wishing well to me are the greatest hits by this incredible talent that a few ppl really know.
I can't understand why this dude didn't end up in the same stratosphere as Prince & Micheal. Look what we have today as "Super Stars"?!
Proof that the music industry sucks. This man should have been a superstar.
He was at that time. But his second album bombed.
MJ ruined his career, if you know the story...

If that was your real daughter in the video she is beautiful just like u inside and out
He was awesome, when I watch this I think of James Brown and also Bruno Mars. All similar off-the-hook talent.
This track still blows me away in 2019
Great... the first time I had "Introducing the hardline according to TTD" in my hands. in late '87, I got mad! AWESOME!!!
I’m proud to be a relative of this talented man. BTW, thanks for the autograph pic back in the 90’s.
Classic from 1988! ❤
Mad vocals. Love love love this guy and his art. Brings me back.
Energy on STIROIDS! TTD my favorite!! And I'm a PRINCE fan. When in my youth, NOTHING was flyer than TTD.
What a voice, such talent!
Another great 👍👍👍👍❤️. He reminds of Prince he's got a raspy voice like Jaxko.👍
This is Soul - Funk melody of Terence Trent D'Arby...Light & Love...
if Michael Jackson and Prince had a kid 😂😍😍
Nobody move nobody gets hurt. I remember this on Mtv
He even dances like JAMES BROWN
Bellissima song
Jamiroquai could keep up with him :)

I found a TTB record as a child when i started playing with music, i played it over and over. That vocal stayed with me my whole life.
Totally agree couldn't understand why he didn't become massive Still sounds great today
I use to jam to this & it is still one the best times indeed 😊
I had so much fun dancing to this ..such a positive tune & sound!
Great performer , should be more famous!!!
1987......the years pass so fast
I’m 45, how come I never heard about this talent???!!!
