Reasons why I love you tube. This brought me back to my childhood. I clearly remember this show. Debbie was a groundbreaker. Showcasing top black talent of the day. philp Michael Thomas was smoove and that song was fire
I remember watching this on tv in 1989....I was just a kid then, but thought Phillip Michael Thomas was so cute:-) Debbie Allen was a phenomenal dancer, and Ms. Whoopi....she has always been hilarious!
My family taped this when it came on tv back in the day. My sisters and I watched it all throughout our childhood - we know all the words to the movie lol. One of our favorite movies of all time. I told Ms. Debbie Allen all about this when I met her last year. I'm so glad its on UA-cam now. Thanks Larry!
What a gem of a find!! I watched this countless amount of times as a kid and now I’m sitting here at 43 surprised that I still remember most of this choreo. I’m a ball of nostalgic feelings right now. Thank you so much for posting this……
LOL! I remembered when this ORIGINALLY AIRED. Hell, I taped it. I think I still have the VHS, somewhere. I watched it all of the time...I thought it was cool. Thanks for this!
Imagine how great this would've been if they showcase a different world on there since she was the director and producer of the show during this time the special was released.
I was one of the SIX SAILORS at the end : ) It was a thrill to perform in Times Square with Phylicia and her sister!
Oh yeah? Awesome!! / Nice pic too, handsome.
