Never underrated, more like not recognised worldwide and promoted appropriately. :) You want to hear an underrated band....listen to Ocean Colour Scene's music
The Angel of death is Siobhan Fahey of Bananarama who was married to Dave Stewart of Eurythmics and the lover is Marcella Detroit who has had a long career in music herself
@@MGrayl-ib5fo It's not me, it's a fact. Look it up. She stated in an interview, that she had long waiting periods during filming, and she drank vodka during the breaks.
@@TucBroder And if you want to know even more trivia the guy in the video is David-Scott Evans, who used to date Bananarama member Keren Woodward back in the 80's and is the father of her only child.
Formed in the UK, the duo are Marcella Detroit (American) who was the first vocalist and Siobhan Fahey (Anglo-Irish and ex-Bananarama) who was the Angel of Death. They had other hits but that was by far their biggest. They were only together as a duo for four years before falling out.
The grieving lover is Marcella Detroit and is an incredible singer and songwriter. She wrote Lay Down Sally, a hit for Eric Clapton. The other girl (Death) is Siobhan Fahey, who you've actually seen before when you reacted to Bananarama (Venus and Cruel Summer). Love this song!
This was my Jam in the 90s I believe it was in 92-93. They are sisters and they will Always be one of my Favorite bands! 🫶🏾❤️ The Angel of death explanation, very Gothic
Shakespears Sister was originally a solo project for Siobhan Fahey after Bananarama. Her then husbond David A. Stewart from Eurytmics and the producer brought in Marcella Detroit to help with the songwriting. They saw the chemistry between Fahey and Detriot and decided to make them a group. They recorded Sacred Heart 1989 and Hormonally Yours 1992. Detroit left and Fahey continued recording #3 2004 and Songs From The Red Room 2009. After a hiatus they reunited in 2019 and released Ride Again (5 songs). Check out You're History, Break My Heart, Let Me Entertain You, Hello (Turn The Radio On), Goodbye Cruel World and I Don't Care. Marcella Detroit aka Marcella Levy (Marcy) did some great solo albums. Check out Jewel, I Believe, Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing feat. Elton John and I Hate You Now. She also took part in a British tv programme called Popstar To Operastar. She were number 3. Did a phenomenal version of Mozart's Queen Of The Night Aria from The Magic Flute. It can be found on UA-cam
This song used to scare the heck outta me & my sis as young kid's 🤣 clicked on it as not heard it in forever. My big sister passed age 19, I was 18... Memories ❣️
Marcella Detroit…American legend ,been in the biz for decades and worked with many a top wig in the industry..swear to God she’s got a photo in the attic ❤️🤘🏻💪🏻
Shakespeares Sister was started by Siobhan Fahey and was meant as a solo act. But Marcella Detroit (born Marcy Levy) was working on the first album, as were many others. Dave Stewart first suggested it, then the record label convinced Fahey to form a duo with Detroit. Fahey reportedly wasn't overly happy with the idea but accepted the situation. The band was somewhat successful. But this song was a monster hit, and that video helped. Suddenly people who were unaware of the band previously thought Detroit was the main component. This was shattering for Fahey, who felt like her brain child was being taken away from her. There was a lot of arguments and Detroit was fired from the band. The women didn't speak to each other for over 25 years. Fahey released several more albums, all more alternative and rock oriented -- which is what she had always wanted. It's why she'd left Bananarama, which started as a punk band before the label changed their image. Fahey and Detroit finally reunited in 2019. They released some new stuff and have said there will be more music to come. Whether there will be remains to be seen. Covid knocked a lot of plans askew.
I had the SAME reaction when I first saw it!!! 😂 I didn't see it until a few years ago because I was one of those rare people without cable in the 90s. Lol I saw MTV now and again and eventually, my family got DISH in 2000. Anyway, I was watching MTV classic and this video came on. I was like, WHOA! What is THIS?! Between the gorgeous vocals and the elaborate video, I was in awe! When the second part happened, I about fell off the couch! Lol I asked friends about it and they all remembered it with similar reactions back then. Rightly so! This video is AMAZING! One of my favorite German Goth bands L'Äme Imortelle. Also a nice cover.
This song spent a blockbusting 8 weeks at No.1 in the UK in 1992. A classic! Thanks for reacting. Also worth checking out by Shakespear's Sister: Hello (Turn Your Radio On), I Don't Care, You're History. And by the 1st vocalist Marcella Detroit: I Believe.
2 main albums of theirs which I bought in late80s/90s were 'Sacred Heart' and 'Hormonally Yours'. 'Stay' was a big hit in the UK and was on the Sacred Heart album.
Its too bad we can't see the video, I love how they told the story with the dark(death) woman coming to take the other woman's man who is dying. The whole song is beautiful and eerie :)
It's about a woman in the hospital and her boyfriend or husband is dying and the darker singer is death coming for him and she fights off death. Also the singer playing death, Siobhan, was in Bananarama
*Fun fact* The shoot for this video took way longer than expected, and everybody was getting bored, so Siobhan (the second female performer) went for a wander within the town, found a bar and got absolutely smashed on vodka. When she showed up to do her part she could barely stand up, but they went with it and the result was brilliantly and hilariously over the top.
Good song, good pipes on these two ladies. It's possible to sing for one person, but a bit challenging 😘 Nah, they were a bit more than a one hit wonder... all though this was their only #1 hit. It stayed as #1 in the UK for 8 weeks. And they got awards and a lot of good. Internal disagreement turned the duo from Sisters to Sister, but think they were united in 2018 and released a new song in 2019.
Haven't heard this song in years, Marcella Detroit the singer at the start, always loved her voice. Another good singer is Neneh Cherry with the song called Buffalo Stance. 😎👌
It was a real shame the video was blocked but as I knew it well it didn’t matter. Your reaction was if anything even better 🤣 They were a duo who released an album called Hormonally yours which this is from and things looked bright for them but internal problems wrecked it all and they broke up. Although I believe they have reformed again. Great reaction 👍🏻
Great reaction. The second women was "The Angel of Death"..... She came to claim the guy. But the the first singer would not have it. She "sang" him back from the edge...... Death just walked away. Knows she will get them both............ Eventually........ ha ha
1 is American and 1 in English, they're still together today my brother interviewed one of them. My older brother still can't watch this because it scared him so much 😂
I don't think Siobhan Fahey would be impressed being called English as she was born in County Meath, Ireland though has spent most of her life in England so she might accept Anglo-Irish 😆 🤣.
This song dominated the charts when I was like 6 or 7, and the whole angel of death thing used to make me hide behind the sofa. Scared the life out of me 😂 weirdly enough, my first TV crush that I remember, probably around the same time-ish, was that girl out of Bananarama. I was well into my 20s when I found out they were the same person. 'You're History' and 'I Don't Care' are great songs too
Remembering being a kid at the time as it was a huge hit on MTV (a kid of '80 🙂) and it has been played all the time ..., I was back then - New Kids on the Block fan (still enjoy them) 💜 and always almost mad cause I had to wait to see my future husband 🙃💜 Joey 💜🙃 longer then usually as this song has been played all the time. Now I see how great a song it is - great reaction. Wish you and your wife all what's best Jamal. You are such a great man 💜 🎶💜 Love what you're doing 💜 Greets from Poland 🎶🙃💜
I heard during the filming of the video Siobhan who played the Angel of death got bored and went wandering round the local bars and proceeded to get absolutely plastered on vodka hence the faces she pulled and they decided to roll with it 😆😆😆😆
Hey Jamel! I see you’re trying music again.🙂 Yeah, this was a big hit- would you mind trying to react to the band Chilliwack, “My Girl” (gone gone gone?) Has a nice , unique groove to it- Studio/audio if possible please. 🤞🏼🤞🏼💜
The video is a woman tending to her dying partner, begging him not to die and leave her. The Angel of Death turns up to claim his body, they fight over the man, but the love of the girl wakes him from his coma and the Angel of Death has to leave.
Marcella Detroit is a vocal force to be reckoned with. I love her music. And as fabulous and beautiful as this song is , it barely touches on the range her voice is capable of. And it goes so well with her partner in crime Siobhan Fahey. Who is married to Dave Stewart from eurythmics I think. All hail Shakespeare sister.
I couldn't see the video but at least the audio wasn't blocked (or Brother Jamal didn't have to block it) so its better than nothing and, it's music so we can hope for more which is the foundation of the channel right? Pretty good song . I'm unfamiliar with it or anything else by Shakespeare's Sisters so maybe it'll grow on me?✌️♥️🎸🎶🙏
Your reaction was so funny ,they are a great band ,lead singer is american,,their stll working,, the video was very controversial in the uk, bcoz of the family's with loved ones who were in comas,
music was heard , video was off screen on lower left, could not see the video. The Lover praying for her love to survive, and the "Angel of Death" trying have his soul to cross-over, so at the song's end the "Angel of Death" heads towards the light without his soul.
This legit scared me as a kid and I don’t know why. I think maybe it was that creepy line “you better hope and pray” like she’s a booger man or something. It’s a good song though. Some weird artsy stuff but it was like a movie or something.
Such an underrated band. Incredible vocals, both of them
Never underrated, more like not recognised worldwide and promoted appropriately. :)
You want to hear an underrated band....listen to Ocean Colour Scene's music
This is a band that does not get enough love! One of my favorites of all time!
The Angel of death is Siobhan Fahey of Bananarama who was married to Dave Stewart of Eurythmics and the lover is Marcella Detroit who has had a long career in music herself
And she was drunk when filming the video :p
@@TucBroder whatever gets you into character LOL

Yeah, Marcella was in her 40s when this song came out. She helped write Eric Clapton's 1977 hit.
Formed in the UK, the duo are Marcella Detroit (American) who was the first vocalist and Siobhan Fahey (Anglo-Irish and ex-Bananarama) who was the Angel of Death. They had other hits but that was by far their biggest. They were only together as a duo for four years before falling out.
Wow. Nice pick!! I'm glad you are introducing new listeners to them.
This group was formed by a member of Bananarama.
And it is 2 female vocalists.
The grieving lover is Marcella Detroit and is an incredible singer and songwriter. She wrote Lay Down Sally, a hit for Eric Clapton. The other girl (Death) is Siobhan Fahey, who you've actually seen before when you reacted to Bananarama (Venus and Cruel Summer). Love this song!
Co-wrote; Clapton is listed as the main songwriter
Stay also co-wrote by Dave Stewart of Eurythmics (Sweet Dreams are made of this), who was married to Siobhan at the time....
Fantastic song!! Still gives me goosebumps to this day
This song was no 1 in the uk for 125 years
And I loved it!
This was my Jam in the 90s
I believe it was in 92-93.
They are sisters and they will Always be one of my Favorite bands! 🫶🏾❤️

THIS SONG has been on my playlist since it came out! Gloriously emotive! ❤️❤️❤️ ‘an ode to myself’
This song came out in 1992, no they are not a one hit wonder. That whole album was fantastic! I have listened to them since 1992. Love them!
This SCARED the heck out of me when I was a kid.
This is one of the songs that's always fun to see reactions to... Those who know the song know why.
Haven't heard this song in forever... it's a gooder 😊
No cap, this song became haunting for me and like stuck in my head for a week.
I had the SAME reaction when I first saw it!!! 😂

The eye roll at the end..."it's all good but I'll be back"
No, it’s not her…that’s two different females! The second one is Siobhan and she’s playing the angel of death
An old favorite of mine he from H.S....this album ruled my world from 10th grade thru 12th.thank you for the walk down memory lane.🎶🔥✌
2 main albums of theirs which I bought in late80s/90s were 'Sacred Heart' and 'Hormonally Yours'. 'Stay' was a big hit in the UK and was on the Sacred Heart album.
Correction - 'Stay' was on 'Hormonally Yours'. I've still got my copy somewhere around here. :)
I miss this song! It’s so dramatic and emotional. Loved your reaction Jamel❤️❤️❤️
I'm so excited to see this! I have an image in my mind of his face after the intro. I was a huge Shakespeare's sister fan back in the day.
Fun fact, Siobhan Fahey got so smashed on set of the video shoot that this is why we have a schizophrenic angel of death. 😂
Not true she was drinking vodka on the set because she had nothing to do but wait while they were filming the first 4/5 of the video.
@@mattsmith5421 okay bud, I edited it for ya! 😂
Its too bad we can't see the video, I love how they told the story with the dark(death) woman coming to take the other woman's man who is dying. The whole song is beautiful and eerie :)

I still have the CD from them love this song..❤
Siobhan was stunning in this video 🖤🖤🖤
Wow great pick.
I remember my sister used to blast this tune on repeat.
It was released back in 1992.
Gives me "The Crow" vibe. AWSOME movie!!!
Wore out this cassingle back the day, B-side was I Don’t Care, which is a banger too!
Huge in the UK. Number one for 8 weeks in 1992.
Huge hit i Denmark back then, i remember we had just gotten MTV and we just watched MTV all day
In the U.S. theyre considered a 1 hit wonder but far from it in the U.K. they had a bunch of hits there and this was #1 for 8 weeks
That statement can apply to many bands from the UK.
Good song, good pipes on these two ladies. It's possible to sing for one person, but a bit challenging 😘
Nah, they were a bit more than a one hit wonder... all though this was their only #1 hit. It stayed as #1 in the UK for 8 weeks.
And they got awards and a lot of good. Internal disagreement turned the duo from Sisters to Sister, but think they were united in 2018 and released a new song in 2019.
This song hit so hard back in the day. Perfect for staring out the window at night while laying in bed not able to sleep.
I was obsessed with this back in the day. Love it 🥰
Haven't heard this song in years, Marcella Detroit the singer at the start, always loved her voice. Another good singer is Neneh Cherry with the song called Buffalo Stance. 😎👌
Love Neneh!!!!
@@MizzInterpreted Yeah she's cool.
I love Buffalo Stance!!!!
@@jomc6734 Yeah me too, always one of my faves. 😊
@@jomc6734 One of my faves too, always loved it. 😊
I loved this video when I was a kid! Maybe I'm weird, But l liked the back and forth between the light and the dark.
Shakespear's Sister was formed by Siobhan Fahey after her split with Bananarama
This song is a gem ,back in the day ,right through till today , great choice
It was a real shame the video was blocked but as I knew it well it didn’t matter. Your reaction was if anything even better 🤣 They were a duo who released an album called Hormonally yours which this is from and things looked bright for them but internal problems wrecked it all and they broke up.

Oooh another song of theirs is You’re History. That’s a banger!❤️❤️❤️
That's my favorite song from them.
Love ur Reaction when Siobhan entered ...
The LOVE!!
Nothing else matters.
"Hello" by them was a big hit.
OMG< I'm SO glad you watched this.
This song is great! Takes me back
Shakespeare's Sister was/is sadly underrated. I still have their album and listen to it often.
Same!!
When I worked at Tower Video we had a copy of the videos from the album that I would pop in at least once a month.
Siobhan from Bananarama and Marcella who sang harmony on Clapton's "Lay Down Sally"
1 is American and 1 in English, they're still together today my brother interviewed one of them. My older brother still can't watch this because it scared him so much 😂
I don't think Siobhan Fahey would be impressed being called English as she was born in County Meath, Ireland though has spent most of her life in England so she might accept Anglo-Irish 😆 🤣.
@@erict956 ah, my bad 😅
My favorite by them is "I Don't Care".
Me too! I had the cassingle and that was the B-side. That song totally rocks!
Love this UK duet they are great!

I was well into my 20s when I found out they were the same person.
'You're History' and 'I Don't Care' are great songs too
The creepy girl was the Angel of death and the guy was on a life support machine and the creepy girl was in the 80's band Bananarama
Yeah, I only remember this one song by them. It’s more melodrama than serious, to me, but I enjoy it.
Remembering being a kid at the time as it was a huge hit on MTV (a kid of '80 🙂) and it has been played all the time ..., I was back then - New Kids on the Block fan (still enjoy them) 💜 and always almost mad cause I had to wait to see my future husband 🙃💜 Joey 💜🙃 longer then usually as this song has been played all the time.

Great reaction Jamel and I heard it👏😊 it's awesome you're doing music reactions again😁
“I don’t care” is another popular song they had. Check it out.
I heard during the filming of the video Siobhan who played the Angel of death got bored and went wandering round the local bars and proceeded to get absolutely plastered on vodka hence the faces she pulled and they decided to roll with it 😆😆😆😆
One my favorite one hit wonders❤
Love this song
This is the cut Jay🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey Jamel! I see you’re trying music again.🙂 Yeah, this was a big hit- would you mind trying to react to the band Chilliwack, “My Girl” (gone gone gone?) Has a nice , unique groove to it- Studio/audio if possible please. 🤞🏼🤞🏼💜
Did you post this full reaction on any other platform that we can see it on?
MTV had it on in 1992 or 1993. My last year at Hertfordshire university. UK.
Ahhh the 80s nostalgia, it's like heroine for old farts 😮
It's been a long time since I heard this!
The video is a woman tending to her dying partner, begging him not to die and leave her. The Angel of Death turns up to claim his body, they fight over the man, but the love of the girl wakes him from his coma and the Angel of Death has to leave.
No they have several so1ngs that are really great
do you like " Hello turn your radio on "?
Marcella Detroit is a vocal force to be reckoned with. I love her music. And as fabulous and beautiful as this song is , it barely touches on the range her voice is capable of.

Now THAT was a long time ago! Great song.
Check out the heroine in this video: Marcy Levy (Detroit) duet with Eric Clapton on his 1977 song "The Core".
Your reaction was so funny ,they are a great band ,lead singer is american,,their stll working,, the video was very controversial in the uk, bcoz of the family's with loved ones who were in comas,
Was a big hit in the 90's i believe..at least here in Germany
Absolute pop masterpiece
Just when i discovered them, they parted ways😢. But they made some great music.
Trivia...the band is named after a Smiths song.
You're welcome. 😺
Did not know that
For 30 years I thought the artist is called Shakepsears SisterS. Like two sisters. Not just one. So I am really bamboozled right now.
music was heard , video was off screen on lower left, could not see the video.
The Lover praying for her love to survive, and the "Angel of Death" trying have his soul to cross-over, so at the song's end the "Angel of Death" heads towards the light without his soul.
Amazing song. Amazing video.
This legit scared me as a kid and I don’t know why. I think maybe it was that creepy line “you better hope and pray” like she’s a booger man or something. It’s a good song though. Some weird artsy stuff but it was like a movie or something.
The main singer on this song is aka Martika. She has several solo songs that are amazing.
Marcella Detroit. Martika is a very different 90s pop star
Excellent choice.
The 1st singer was his controlling addiction, the 2nd singer was his escape, Death.
Nice blast from the past
I was 19 in march that year,was at no1 for 13wks i think haha that dark.angel did it for me 😂
❤❤❤
A pelvic thrust?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No there are 2 singers and all the pausing before the other singer came in was killing me.
One year or a decade more, it doesnt matter. Death always wins....
You got it and not too many did
