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.
@@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
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.

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.
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.
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
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...

Older, wiser and still Lisa Lisa! ❤
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.

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.
Lisa....Is History!!
THIS IS *STILL MY JAM AFTER* *ALL THESE YEARS* !!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯😎✌🏾
Love me some Lisa Lisa❤!
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

I liked their sound.
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.

Lisa lisa best top hits song great, and you have a great time to be the most amazing person
I remember Lisa Lisa.
She used to be so pretty in her hot pink outfit.
Lisa Lisa is one of the best Queens of New Jack Swing and Hip Hop. A True Trailblazer! As a Gen-X, she's the best!
Full Force is why her music was ever popular. And their music completely went out of style by the end of the 1980’s.
Facts and she was also one of the OG ladies of freestyle. I loooooove freestyle
@@lichi1244eva Back then, it wasn’t even called “freestyle.” But “I Wonder If I Take You Home” was definitely one of the singles that created that subgenre.

Lisa was not a hip hop artist nor a new jack swing artist. She did freestyle music stop trying to tie her to other genres she wasnt involved with
I love this for her! ❤️
"Take You Home" will always be one of my all time favorite B-Boy jamz!
I remember skating to them jams❤❤ HEAVY
Wow she had a lot of hit songs
In the mainstream, not really. She had three singles in the top 10 and after 1987, white America pretty much moved on.
