Lisa Lisa was definitely before JLO and Selena...she was the bomb and still is. I remember being a little girl and loving her music. She definitely should receive her flowers and be recognized for her contribution. She's a pioneer that blazed a trail for other women and Latinos.
I heard Lisa Lisa everywhere in the early 1980s while I was in High School. To now know the reality of her cancer battle while only in her 20's and on top of the charts, is an amazing, sobering tale Thank goodness it was caught on time, or Lisa Lisa would not be here now to talk about it with us. She's as humble and as cute as she was many moons ago, with most of us from her generation still enjoying these songs. Thank you Lisa, and best of luck to you.
Not the 1st ever but a significanrt one especaially for Boriqua/Puerto Rican women in Hip Hop. Lady Pink the graffitti legend, Pebbley Poo emcee who put outthe song "Flyy Guy" in 1985, The Real Roxanne, Roxanne Shante, Sha-Rock of Funky 4 + 1 More, etc. were a;; Fly Girls. Lisa Lisa was a pioneer for Hip Hop / Soul / Pop and opened the door for Electro 'Freestyle' music that TKA and La India set it off. Kicked the door open for J.Lo.
Well said Rockin. These songs today are Boombox classics. You know if a box is good if you play these songs in one and it sounds bombastic playing them.
Wow, I didn't know her struggles, but she is a huge part of my teen life. Thank you Lisa Lisa! Can't wait to see you. Come to Austin, Texas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@adrian-h3d Full Force definitely made great dance music. They were why the British topless model and singer Samantha Fox ever had hits in America beyond “Touch Me.”
“All she did was sing”? 😂 She is the voice and they would be unknown without her. Samantha Fox had several hits in the U.S. before they started working with her. Someone seems to have an issue with successful women.
@RockinDaBoombox a woman's success has been influential & indelible throughout what we know as history. trying to justify her achievements is bittersweet to revisionist sophists
Ive grown up here all the way in texas and my introduction to freestyle as a kid was this woman right here. I've loved her since the beginning. I know there are other freestyle artist but I call l her the Queen 🙌🏿
The sad thing is that back in the 1980s MTV would not play the I Wonder If I Take You Home video, whereas BET played the hell out of it. If it had not been for BET's Video Soul, Lisa Lisa, Cult Jam, and Full Force would not have gotten the attention they deserved because I Wonder If I Take You Home was the ish and still is. Brings back good memories of being a pre-teen/teen back then. MTV was racist af back in the day when it first launched. I am glad to see that Lisa Lisa is still doing her thing.
@@Steverodriguez825OF COURSE, MICHAEL *KICKED THAT DOOR* *DOWN AND MOON WALKED* *RIGHT IN* AND THEY HAD AN *ICE COLD PESPI* *WAITING ON* *HIM*...🤣🤣💯😎✌🏾
@@Steverodriguez825Only because Jackson’s record label CEO threatened to boycott his artist roster from their channel if they didn’t. And Jackson really had to prove his worth to them.
That was because largely middle-class and white suburban households had cable back then and that’s where the audience and the money were. If anything, it was the audience themselves that were the real racists. MTV was just trying to run a business.
What an inspiration!! Who knew that she was going through anything devastating?! She shined so brightly. Thank You Jesus for giving her another chance. 🤩🏆💯🏆🤩
I love Lisa Lisa! 🎶 Her music shaped my childhood, and now as a DJ, it’s amazing to see people dance and sing along to her songs! 💃🕺 #LisaLisa #DJLife #Throwback
A true legend!! She never got her proper respect. She most definitely was/is a trailblazer and an icon!! Several years ago, I met her at one of her concerts, I’m a mid 40 year old woman who grew up with her music since my teen years and she was so kind and sweet. She took photos and signed autographs for my whole family. She is truly one of the kindest people ever.! Give her her flowers! ❤ 💐
My 1st dance was to, I Wonder If I Take You Home at a wedding. My 1st concert my mom took me to was Lisa Lisa and Expose! Now at 50 y/o, I still play her while cleaning the house, washing the car and just to jam at work. Thank miss Lisa for the music of my teenage youth!
Now thats a fighter !❤️🔥❤️🔥💯🫶🏿 I remember dancing to those songs as a kid😃🎵 I can relate to making music and not earning a cent from it. Her story makes me want to try again❤
Give Lisa Lisa, the '80s star iconic some flowers🌷🌺🌹 please. She has a beautiful voice. Her music is coming out soon. Treat her with respect and honesty.
@@lichi1244eva She never had another top 10 hit after 1987. Sure she had two more in the top 40, but after 1987, it was pretty much the Billboard black singles chart where her & Cult Jam’s music made any impressions after that. White America pretty much moved on.
@@RocStarr913thank goodness we black and Latino people kept her popping for a few more years then. Lisa Lisa, Cult Jam and Full Force made their impact during that time and absolutely still deserve respect. You don't have to give it if you don't want, no one is forcing you...
Give this woman her flowers 🌸
💐
💐💝
NO doubt!
GIVE HER FLOWERS *RIGHT* *DAMN NOW*!!!!!!! AND I AIN'T PLAYIN"🤣🤣💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😎✌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@cvc1814 Flowers have to be earned. She only was really popular for three years.
I still listen to Lisa Lisa till this day! ❤
She deserves so much more recognition
She's an icon.. God bless her. Love all of her music 🎶
Me from the UK. Lisa Lisa's Music is still popular here in the UK. The songs she made with Full Force sound so fresh to this day.
I grew up listening to LIsa Lisa. She's awesome
The 80’s had such great music and Lisa was a big part of it. Thank you Lisa ❤❤❤
Lisa Lisa was definitely before JLO and Selena...she was the bomb and still is. I remember being a little girl and loving her music. She definitely should receive her flowers and be recognized for her contribution. She's a pioneer that blazed a trail for other women and Latinos.
She would be a great talent show judge. ❤️
Much love to Lisa Lisa. She's a true treasure to the culture.

Lisa Lisa was the first fly girl of Hip Hop.
BEFORE J- LO & ROSIE PEREZ👍🏾💯✌🏾
@@kennyboudreaux1657 Full Force definitely played a massive role in making her music popular.
Damn right
@RocStarr913 The name “Lisa”, the actual singer, certainly played a massive role in making Full Force a household name.

Lisa Velez, thank you for being alive!!! Thank you for your music with Cult Jam!!!!
It's great to see her! She was so talented, I always wondered what happened to her. . My favorite song was "all cried out"
Older, wiser and still Lisa Lisa! ❤
You still can't go anywhere without listening to her voice ❤
True, considering she only had a few years of hits.
@RocStarr913 And without her name and voice, Full Force wouldn’t have had those few years as well.
Well said Rockin. These songs today are Boombox classics. You know if a box is good if you play these songs in one and it sounds bombastic playing them.
@@RockinDaBoomboxNot true. They made hits for themselves and other artists. Not just LL and Cult Jam.
She Is An 80's ICON
Iam 46 years young & proud to say I love Lisa Lisa! Let's give this Queen her flowers 🌹
#ICON
Love me some Lisa Lisa❤!
Wow, I didn't know her struggles, but she is a huge part of my teen life. Thank you Lisa Lisa! Can't wait to see you. Come to Austin, Texas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's good to see these pioneers still whirring their wings amongst us
@@adrian-h3d All she did was sing. She was merely popular because Full Force made and wrote her songs.
@RocStarr913 that's true though. but i use to love their music back then

Saw her open for Morris Day and The Time back in 1985. She and the Cult Jam were amazing 👏👏👏
My 80’s Lady Indeed! Glad To See Her. My Mom 👩🏽 Was A Big Fan! Cannot Have The 80’s Without Lisa Lisa.

OMG, I loved Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam. They represented my entire teen years. She truly was a trailblazer. I loved her on the tv show Taina. ❤
Full Force is the only reason why her music was ever really good. She merely sang.
