"Freedom" is a 1995 song released on Mercury Records featuring a chorus of over 60 African-American female artists and groups of note in hip-hop, pop and R&B music including En Vogue, Aaliyah, Vanessa L. Williams, Mary J. Blige, MC Lyte, SWV, TLC, and Monica. It is a cover of Joi's song of the same name from her 1994 album The Pendulum Vibe.[1] Both versions were produced by Dallas Austin and Diamond D.[
This song was a MAJOR hit!!! It had every major Black female music act of the day. It was AMAZING!!! I still get chills to this day.
The song was sung by 60 female artists and it reached #45 on the Billboard Hot 100. There's also an all rap version that spotlights the rappers in the original song.
Oh wow I completely forgot this existed until I hit play. Love all these women, especially Vanessa Williams, En Vogue, TLC, Aliyah and Karyn White!!
Echoing some other comments. I was a 1990’s R&B superfan but never heard this song one time. Makes me wonder if it was suppressed by radio back then.
Every queen in R&B to Hip Hop was in this. They filmed it like we are the world. It’s never been nothing like it since with this many 90s and 80s top females
Yes SWV!!
In the late 80’s and 90’s there were several collaborations with different themes where artists got together for different causes. You don’t see stuff like this anymore. Sadly it seems like that’s an era that is long gone.
Sweet groove. Heavenly chorus. What a list of voices! Panther is a 1995 cinematic adaptation of Melvin Van Peebles's novel Panther, produced and directed by Mario Van Peebles, and starring Mario Van Peebles as Stokely Carmichael. The cast was filled with past, present, and future stars including Dick Gregory, Melvin Van Peebles, Angela Bassett, Chris Rock, Chris Tucker, Bobby Brown, Courtney B. Vance, and Bokeem Woodbine. The critics hated it. I might have seen it once in the years since, but I don't recall exactly.
This was not a huge hit, but it was a black people hit. It reached number 10 on the R&B charts and just missed the top 40 pop (#45). The song is actually a cover of a song by Joi Gilliam (the sister who sings at the end with the blonde braids) from her debut album that was arranged by Angie Stone. Both versions of the song were produced by Dallas Austin.
It was the lead single from the Panther soundtrack, a movie about the Black Panthers. The film itself was largely criticized for getting a lot of the facts wrong, but one of the indelible elements of the film is the way the black women in the film assert themselves. So that's sorta how this song was chosen for the film.
Wow thanks for the info 🙂
There was also a hip hop version of this song as well.
That’s what I was thinking - I don’t know how big of a hot it was on Billboard, but I remember seeing the video on Video Soul a lot. You know it’s a talented bunch when Nikki from Brownstone only gets like 2 seconds!
@@brynneholt1990 Then you must remember the female hip hop version

I grew up in the 90’s, loved en Vogue and a few other artists on here, and never heard this song. But then again I am not an American so maybe this was more of a US thing
Oooh you got to checkout the Rap Version as well
Never heard this before,...but I need to go watch that Film! 😎
Its a rap version as well
oh wow, how did i not know this? I literally love every single woman/ artist here involved!
Don't think it was a big hit or i was just too young to hear it but it should have been bigger, it's fire!
And how can a song that has En Vogue, TLC, Salt'n Pepa, Aaliyah, Monica etc. on the same track not be a hit? I like it alot! This is real Girlpower!
💯🔥
@@EmpressReacts there's is female hip hop version same song on this soundtrack with video available.
Please react to the rap version
Are you aware of the actual Black National Anthem called "Lift Every Voice and Sing?" If not, maybe do a reaction video on that.
You should check out the rap version
Yes, I remember this!!😊Thank You.
Oh lord how I miss music with a meaning like this and actual vocal talent!
The song should have been bigger
Wow never seen this before. Yesss they did their thing. Is that Patra that started it off?
Yes Patra
@@tlewisisdope thanks
Wow! I love all the singers on this and never knew about this song! I was on top of music back in the day so I don’t think it was a hit? That’s ashamed because it’s powerful!
💯
