No cellphones then, just a girl with a boombox and midnight star. A group of guys breakdancing. What memories. Millenials don't know what they're missing
@@Edward_Strong1982no darling, you're 42 and you're in my group. You're a gen x just towards the end of this wonderful generation. I'm 14 yrs older than u
I am so thankful my dad showed me this as songs … I grew up listening to this while we bbqd … && now I do the same && my boys dance all over the yard to these jams..
I’m an 80s addict and yet I heard this song for the first time today…this tune is one of the most 80s things ever. How many more gems from that time are still out there to discover
I can see my best friend Prepping off this. She could dance her face off! Damn, I get chills hearing this thinking about all of the great times we had. God is good. What a great time I have had so far in this life.
A #1 hit for Midnight Star on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 519th #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. It was also the last #1 R&B song of 1984 and the first of 1985. What will the R&B scene be like in the new year? Stay tuned.
This, "Midas Touch" and "No Parking On the Dance Floor" were among my first and favorite new 45's bought with my own money. They sound just as fresh now as they did then.
The music was great, the economy even greater but the politics of the era and social inequality not so much. The 80s might look like fun from a distance but conservative politics were dominating everything and making life miserable for most of the rest of us. Thats why the music was so great...its all we had to grab onto to mentally escape from all their bs. And here we are in 2024 and they're at it again trying to stop anyone from having any fun or from simply just existing!
My dad said I used to be obsessed with this song when he would pick me up from daycare he would always play it and I still don’t remember but I obviously believed him so I went back to this masterpiece again😻😻💅😻😻purr
Mint Video their biggest hit Operator they had alot.The set up the girls the guys merge to make Midnight Star the style funk electro rules just adds to an awesome genre with Pop and Rock.Heart of the 80s ❤ greatest year for charity and fundraising the World was doin my greatest era 1985 towards 89 could harp on explain anyways to be blessed and part of the greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much oh hail the 80s atmosphere and Midnight Star all the way thru 80-90
They were bumping this song at Kmart while I was picking up a few items I had to hear it again so I turned to UA-cam lol The song made me spend an extra 50 bucks.
Yea exactly and so many other business men and women did-Also non bizz people as well like my uncle worked on car crusher site- and had Motorola 8000 X in 1985- rented it for £20 pounds a week from radio rentals :-)
O'Rusty5891 total agree. I went thru my teens in the 80's and there was so much variety and you're right, a lot of weird stuff but some was mind blowing! I am enjoying it much more this time around and I'm 48!
O'Rusty5891 you have to realize some of these people in the video are old enough to be our some of our grandparents so at the time this was cool and in style. With Jerry curls and All
Some was in a good way but some wasn't weird just standard guitar music like-The Smiths, Suzanne Vega, Billy Idol, Status Quo, Echo + the Bunnymen, etc
You know when you wake up and you start thinking then you go have a cup of coffee then songs pop in your head yeah well that's the song that was on tap today thanks...great old song...
Have to say, back in those days you didn't know have to know every major dance out there. You moved to rhythm and that was it, you had fun and there was no judgment. Now every song has a specific dance routine, you don't know it and people get all high and mighty.
Remember back in the 80's when BET would show videos like MTV? I had a chance to see Midnight Star live a couple years ago. I'm kicking myself now that I didn't go.
2021 2021 can't touch this era this is real music this is art right here. This is real talent yes I'm a 90's baby and grew up on all this great music back then
The neighbors called the cops on me for playing this too loud. The cops gave THEM the ticket for complaining about this classic electrofunk jam.

I don't care where I'm at. I just start dancing. The 80's for me was a classical era that's unforgettable. 70's, 80's, 90's. Incredible

I was feeling down one day but when I heard this song on the radio I started dancing in my car.
This, "Midas Touch" and "No Parking On the Dance Floor" were among my first and favorite new 45's bought with my own money. They sound just as fresh now as they did then.
Yeah Operator. Midas. And parking r the beeeest. Just a rocket
Love both those songs ❤️
Don't forget " Wet my whistle " lol
I love those songs especially midas touch i can replay that over and over😄👍
Night Rider is my favorite
Damn I miss the 80’s!!! I was a teenager during the Reagan era. Those were the best years of my life.
I remember seeing this on MTV, and Friday My Videos. Love Ms. Lilly Thomlin as the operator with the 1940s hair do. Good times 😆☎️
Best time ever!!!
I am officially watching this on repeat 💕💕💕
Melhores momentos da minha vida!
Anos 80 inesqueciveis
I grew up on those in the 80s and 90s
How I wish I could go back in time to the early 80’s
One of my all-time favorite music videos! Love it! ❤
I will never stop wishing I could've experienced the 80s. My parents are so lucky
The music & pop culture was so great but the conservative parties in power and their awful policies throughout all that decade...not so much
We are luckiest 😁
The music was great, the economy even greater but the politics of the era and social inequality not so much.

Muito legal. Faz até defunto dançar. Eu adooooro esse som.
the girls were so cute in the 80s. now the look like deep see fishermen
+James Long Still better than pulling your fisherman's friend alone.
Depending on your standards
that is because most of them are drug addicts and alcoholics.
Naw you just haven't seen me yet
I look like this girls still☆
This is just a really good song i like dance with it thanks,😊
Im 33, born in 1990 and my aunt use to jam Midnight Star when she use to babysit me and let me tell ya!!!!
Wow hadn’t heard this in years!
🎶🎶🎶❤❤🎶🎶
And the bigger the Jambox, the badder you were! Unforgettable time's 😊
The 70, 80,90s was great I will miss those days it was great. Better than now. 2000s.

I love this song so much! 💕
We in the 2020s now
What a classic!!!
This was a hit on the dance floor whrn I first started going to nightclubs at 15.
Lets go back in the days and dance
I saw them live and they give a high energy performance. Started in college at Kentucky State
Love it love it those were the days when music was music.
Ronald Serwanga Very true!
Music is still music
Ha-ha! Tell it to true hardcore jazz lovers. And classic opera fans.
Ronald Serwanga - Oh yeah. I was only about 11 or 12 years old.
Music is still music if you are popping dancer
thank you Midnight Stars !
Evergreen track, stays fresh forever. Just love Belinda Limpscomb, she is great
This is an amazing group I been a fan since I was about 5 in 1987.
I was 9
These girls are so pretty I wish that they still looked like that
Back when we had no cell phones, pagers or beepers
Michael douglas had them
Yea exactly and so many other business men and women did-Also non bizz people as well like my uncle worked on car crusher site- and had Motorola 8000 X in 1985- rented it for £20 pounds a week from radio rentals :-)
Belinda where you loving under a rock- the 80's were the technology for mobile phones and pagers!
mikey p no social media
Typical of the hip hop influenced funk that started to emerge in 1984. Good track.
clássico dos anos 80!!! lembro bem dessa eu era pequeno e já ouvia acho que era 1984 / 85
🤤
