Am 44 years from Zambia, this song reminds me of late mum and her late brothers,they used to playing this using record player,right now we are listening to this song in the car with my daughters and grand daughter, my mum died 30years ago
Whenever I'm playing this song,i look around and see how my Heavenly father Jehovah has blessed me abundantly. I will never forget the 1980- 1990 's,those were my suffering years ...😥
Undoubtedly, Brenda was African Queen of the moment! Khadja nin, yondo sister, mbiia bel, Yvonne chaka chaka, eish, Africa my beloved continent, lazzy sepuru moletjie
The music that gave us strength, love and hope in the dark old days of our beautiful country. In 1985 I was still at primary school, and didn't understand the lyrics, but this song was a hit!
My late grandfather left me with a 12" vinyl record of this album in 2008. RIP Mr Moloisane aka Bra Mols 😇 and RIP to the Legendary Brenda Fassie🕊 #Ihaveitonvinyl

@@jacqueludidi9377 serious Jacque i so wish to visit her home in Langa I come from Jhb but working at University of the Western Cape and staying in Belhar . How i wish to go visit her home just to say thank you and Bongani needs to do umsebenzi for her he needs to slaughter kabomamakhe to uplift her spirit
This song touches me because it reminds me in early 1980s when I was at Secondary school and i used to dodge prep on Friday's to go and jive disco at night clubs.
In 1985 in northern Namibia,some PLAN combatants were at our house and they had a tape recorder and this song was repeatedly playing. By then we did not know m 5:115:14 much much about the late Brenda Fassie and the Big Dudes band. Then Commander Tshambalala gave us some lectures about Band. This is nice music
Yor...a true legend mabrrrr...is FRESH AND CRISPY...the year 1985 was on high school grade 9 we use to say standard 7...Friday nights 🌙 this was the JAM...IS LIKE YESTERDAY!!
Great Tune reminds of my mother a divorcee she used to sing along to the song but didn't understand her . Now that am a big person I understand her . love you mumm
Awu sukani Madoda! These were the WONDERFUL DAYS,at FUN VALLEY and ELLIS PARK STADIUM, during KAIZER CHIEF Vs ORLANDO PIRATES ,SOWETO DERBIES AT ORLANDO STADIUM etc. Gone are such good days,suka!
Ey SA music needs to be documented, for us who are musically curious. There so many songs I know & love but don't know who sing them. Also I couldn't tell the difference between Cheek To Cheek & Brenda & The Big Dudes. I heard this on a taxi for the first time, then 2nd time on radio & I didn't know it was Brenda singing here. I probably found out around 2019/2020😂 phela ngikhule ngimamel'uMaBrr from late 90s to 00s. I'm really not familiar with 80s SA music.🤦♀
This music was everything I had that time,I mean 80s.I live in Zambia,by then there was Capriv strip radio in today's Namibia katimamuliro.My father was always upset with me because I used to steal his 2 band Livingston assembled radio which I carried wherever I went.Now this computer generated music has distorted everything.
Brenda nasceu na Cidade do Cabo na África do Sul ganhou esse nome em homenagem a uma cantora cowntry dos EUA, Brenda Lee, era a caçula de nove irmãos. Aos 2 anos de idade ficounorfã de pai. Pouco mais tarde passou a cantar para turistas acompoanhada pela mãe ao piano. Contava com 16 anos de idade no ano de 1981 quando se mudou para o soweto já decidida a viver da sua música: se juntou ao grupo Joy para em seguida assumir os vocais no Brenda and the Bigs. Veioi o vício em cocaína e Brenda iria pagar muito caro por isso enquanto percorria os guetos cantando sobre a vida dificultosa dos negros num regime segregacionista, foi a voz dos deserdados e por isso muito querida e poipular. passou por mais de 30 internações em clínicas de reabilitação e, sempre quer saia lançava albuns (uns 15 no total) que eram dos mais vendidos na África do sul. Morreu jovem, aos 39 anos de idade decorrente de um ataque de asma pós overdose e após vários dioas em comaque lhe causaram danos cerebrais irreversíveis devido a falta de oxigênio. Seu som é moderno, considerado pop.

Lovely song.& may your Mum & her late brothers RIP.
good moments can pass, but they will remain in our memories. indeed.
I was playing this jam one day in my room on my boom box my dad came inside and said son you know we've got bigger speakers in the living room 😅
😁👍
@@mauee-uamamaa-uandje1992 I WOULD HAVE DONE THAT TOO IF I WERE YOUR DAD.
Your dad cool, man!
Lol
lol he was saluting you

Same here
SA will never have greatest musicians like Brenda maybe after 100 years.
Perhaps the finest song Brenda Fassie & The Big Dudes have ever done together. But no one will tell you that. :-)
I've gotten to a point where I literally force people to listen to this song, bro! My Brenda fav song...
Couldn't agree more even if I tried, man! Totally sublime...
Listen also this one Baby Bongani ua-cam.com/video/yFTGgi6tQ2M/v-deo.html and this one Tender Care ua-cam.com/video/ZLqrrLZfwCk/v-deo.html
@@khumagadi3378 weekend special as well, it was a good song.
Compared to this, to me Weekend Special was just a popular song, more than artistry. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
The old Golden Days....it’s the year 2020 and still good to listen to.
Undoubtedly, Brenda was African Queen of the moment! Khadja nin, yondo sister, mbiia bel, Yvonne chaka chaka, eish, Africa my beloved continent, lazzy sepuru moletjie

Good old days
Indeed in those old days in 1983 when some of us were starting grade one . Those were nice days
Old school music is better than the 21st century
Oooooh I mic this lady from Langa RIP
Agree
Fully agree with you dearie
I need a time machine to take me back to the 80`s. Best music decade.
My dad (mhdsriep) used to like this song back in the 80s .Im around 40 and my kids know this song calms me a lot.it brings smiles.
Ee,this song brings you smiles,while me it´s brings me tears.
I’ve just discovered the wonderful sounds of Brenda
Indeed talented she was....it always breaks my heart that she is no longer with us ....but i thank her for leaving this behind with us.....💓💓🎸
Mabrrr
It will always remain my favourite. We miss you MaBrrrr, may your soul continue to rest in peace
My late grandfather left me with a 12" vinyl record of this album in 2008. RIP Mr Moloisane aka Bra Mols 😇 and RIP to the Legendary Brenda Fassie🕊 #Ihaveitonvinyl
my 4 year just asked me play this song and she is dancing along like nobodys busines.she knows it brings me smiles and i cant help it

DAMN! I can't get enough of this song. It's like eating soup with a fork 🤞🤞
Sure
I was a secondary school learner by then. December month was very much meaningful to enjoy and especially the christmas day.
Days are hard to remember, but sometimes you feel life is useless because when these songs used to play everything was so sweet
I am fascinated by the instruments behind.no advanced technology at that era
Brenda Fassie was a true legend indeed there will never be someone like her
So true Njabulo, Lindiwe her sister was suppose to take over. She's the replica of her younger sister and the voice is the same.
