I miss the late 90s. Before 9/11 and the wars. Before everyone was plugged in to the Matrix (Internet) every waking moment. The brief years when Gen Xers showed each other love no matter their background. When hip hop, rock, jazz, R&B, and soul were still alive. When you could drop or smoke and be free of the world's worries. How I wish we American's as a society and republic could get back to that.
Oh, the days when you had to actually be able to sing to get a record deal. Even in the 90s there was post-production on most recordings, but the fact that she sounds nearly note-for-note and key-for-key the way she does on the CD is a testament to the exceptional quality of her real voice. Today's singers not only couldn't have pulled off this live performance vocally, their voices are produced beyond recognition on their own recordings, such that even if they did sing live, there would be too big a difference between their recorded voices and their live voices -- which is shameful for the artists and for culture, generally. I'm so glad that I was in my 20s in the 90s to be able to super-high-quality music like this in actual dance clubs.
She’s house music royalty. This song is my life. Her voice live is just as amazing as in the studio just perfect for house music. I started clubbing in 1997 and went crazy when I heard this Armand Van Helden's Mongoloids in Space remix of this song at The Turmills in London. I got the 12x12" and ever since this song's been part of my life. Love love love La India.
I may have heard her voice a thousand times, but never seen her sing. So this is a great YT-moment. Also, MTV at that time had everything one could require of youth culture, wonderful 90s...

I was present for this show and i have a copy,i'm so short i didnt get much camera time in this shot,but i do have a photo of "THE GRIND DANCERS" on my facebook page.
Awesome song, awesome vocals! Sounds amazing live! Thanks for sharing :-) have you all heard the club remix of this song? It was massive when I was clubbing back in 97
Besides The Tv Show, what a great staging for one of my favorites songs ever... Love the track, even more after seeing this amazing live by her... a bow taken rare to find this pureness while performing live HONEST
Ciclopea2 This was not aired in the 90's. I remember being at my mothers house watching this when it was televised on MTV. Thos came out in 2000 or 2001
In 2018 people still nagging on about how good their childhood was. Never grown up. And don't start complaining about all the shit on the radio/top100. Today there is at least as much good music as in older days. Open your heart and put the radio off.
@@deepbreather so reminiscing while watching an old video is nagging to you? There's a lot about the present that I enjoy and there's plenty about the past that wasn't that great, so follow your own advice, open your heart and stop nagging about what random people comment on the Internet.
I just got off the video window of La India's "Runaway", my memory slipping hard in forgetting that Ms. Hollloway first recorded and wrote this disco-soul hit! I was perturbed and confused because I know that this isn't La India's style. Though My memory raced to recapitulate who was the originator of "Runaway" (as I came up with Candi Stanton, Betty Wright, and Linda Clifford as possibles, I happened on Lolita's name. UA-cam should repair it search software as many, many references get lost!
(Cont'd) Joe Bataan went the same route when he produce and wrote "Call My Name", which was definitely in the 'acid-disco-soul-funk ("Fusion", as it was dubbed back then,) of Zylophonist ROY AYERS! So, what La India does is mimic the style of the above-mentioned Soul\Disco Divas Uh, excuse me, but Betty Wright, Linda Clifford, and Candi Stanton were pioneers and "mavens" of Blues, Rock, and Jazz, as well as R&B Soul and Disco. I would like an answer to La India's rendition as she hasn't dittoed
A lot of ppl posted the video including myself but youtube deleted them because of the copyrights , I saw a link to the video a while ago but it only can be seen in Center and South america for some reason .

oooooooooooooh... & she sang live!!! LoL... can't believe MTV had the money to do that on that show since all the Grind "live" performances were all lip sync!!!! *swoon* I Love India!!! LoL.. hella funny... the host/ announcer lady announced the wrong group... it's ain't RAW.. lolololol... same people though :n)
I don't know that La India was the original singer of "Runaway", as I thought that Linda Clifford, Betty Wright, or Candi Staton sang this. It is their soul disco style that the ladies are legendary for. (Clifford sang "Runaway Love" which is distinctively different, though similar to La India's rendition). This live performance gives me the suspicion that she didn't compose this. again, is there a late 70s original to this version, because this is without a doubt retro disco. (Cont'd).
The original version was by Lolleatha Holloway back in the 70’s and India made her own version in 1997 in the Nuyorican Soul Album with Masters at work . The music was by the Salsoul Orchestra who play the original one directed by Vincent Montana who co wrote this song and played the Vibraphone.

So deep and true. 90s were a golden decade for many of us.

Loleatta Holloway sang the original version of this song. I love the way La India sings this song.
Can I say that La India outperformed Miss Holloway?
They are both great versions.
Never heard that version and I can't find it. 😣
Her voice!!! Still one of my favorite voices ever!!
I love when she sings this in spanish
Love this song.. She sounds the same as she did on the cd. I grew up on this song. 90's all the way.
I made a Carpool Karaoke with her singing this song a loong time ago … she still sing this song like the cd .
I remember seeing her singing it in a car years ago, the video seems to have gone tho
one of the best voices ever. sooooo gooood!!! way under rated
Pretty EPIC UA-cam find right here.
She is so BADASS!
she can blow - man i miss those days - bring them back lord please
LOVE this
She sounds exactly the same!💯💋
Saw her do this at a Southport Weekender with MAW... Incredible !!!
I got the audios of that performance … it was great , she even sang the original versiob of Backfired .
I may have heard her voice a thousand times, but never seen her sing. So this is a great YT-moment. Also, MTV at that time had everything one could require of youth culture, wonderful 90s...
That's true! but still I don't like that "those were the days" attitude.

All I have to say is BODY & SOUL at VINYL.
Anyone know what the groove is at the beginning when she’s being introduced? 🙏

is that a cigar in her other hand?
remember the Nuyorican Soul Havana-style cigar box
多分、彼の父が息子のパソコンを触っているな。もう一つの可能性は父親はサリフのライブに行っている。俺のup動画にサリフ系列を30本入れてるが、「サリフのベースは凄い」とコメントしてあった。
1989年に来日してライブをしているから、多分彼の父はライブに行ってるはず。でないとベースについてのコメントは、まずしないし出来ない。ベースも弾くはずだよ、コメ歴にサンドマンの二弦ベースを特集した記事をわざわざ記載していた。アミン・アリを22の小僧が知るわけないからね。あれは、ブラック・ミュージックに漬かったことのある人間だ。一時ハマってたんだろうね、この分だとウェイラーズなんかのベースもきっと好きだろう彼なら（いや、父親か（笑））。アミンなんて何年振りだよ名前きいたのは
