@@EmpressReacts ...the Band was SOOOOO MAD, they came on "American Bandstand" once, and complained about it to Dick Clark...in FRONT of Gloria! ...she said nothing, and that they were still, "..a Band.."
....don't get me STARTED on "Here We Are"...I may do FIVE "Trivia Times"! ...ha-HAA!! ...She was in the Top Ten with that Song when she was in her 1990 Bus accident....
Great song. Unrequited love. When there is nothing you can do but love the person who doesn't love you. Even when they treat you so badly. It hurts more than any physical pain, but it inspires the greatest love songs of all time. There is so much beauty and truth in pain. What a twisted dichotomy of life.

My first thought of Gloria Estefan is effervescence. My favorite is "1, 2, 3" followed closely by "Bad Boy". With her band The Miami Sound Machine she exploded on the music scene in the mid 1980's.
What can I say about this beautiful, timeless piece of music. I knew you’d throw up 10’s before I even clicked on the video. Gloria was my 2nd to Madonna in the 80’s and 90’s. I played the VHS of her live in Miami non stop. The way she sings the word “Through” my hands on the first chorus still gives me life! ❤
*Empress and RBS* Yep,he/she is right..Written and Created By Gloria Estefan,For the Album "Let It Loose",In 1987.... The Music Vid was a mix of happy moments,with the character Gloria was portraying,Thinking back to those moments,in a heartbreaking muse of how much she misses those happy moments..Kind of sad,but a good concept of a video.. TY for reacting,this was a great song you reacted to...PLEASE give another a try..You will not regret Giving ANOTHER a try,Empress! Gets a Thumbs up!
one of her most iconic songs.. My mom was a huge Gloria fan when I was growing up.. I bought her the greatest hits album when it came out.. about 10 years ago Gloria and Rosie O'Donnell were the grand marshals at Miami Beach pride..Rosie was her neighbor for years.. her daughter Emily is a singer too.. Gloria and her husband have written most of her songs together
Absolutely love this song and Gloria of course 😍❤️
I stop by. And was already thinking about singing the male version of this.
One of Gloria's best ever songs in my opinion. The synth bass on this is fantastic.
Yaaaas‼️
Yaas Empress! Gloria delivers the goods here! Beautiful vulnerable classic 80s pop ballad.👍👍
🔥🔥

I've heard 5 of the pop songs‼️ so about these solo shots - the band wasn't in on Gloria getting top billng😂
@@EmpressReacts ...the Band was SOOOOO MAD, they came on "American Bandstand" once, and complained about it to Dick Clark...in FRONT of Gloria! ...she said nothing, and that they were still, "..a Band.."
Here We Are is another great one by her you must do. Music vid is good.
....don't get me STARTED on "Here We Are"...I may do FIVE "Trivia Times"! ...ha-HAA!! ...She was in the Top Ten with that Song when she was in her 1990 Bus accident....
Noted
Her 1989 album Cuts Both Ways was massive! Number 1 in the UK and Australia (where I am), and top 10 US.
Great song. Unrequited love. When there is nothing you can do but love the person who doesn't love you. Even when they treat you so badly. It hurts more than any physical pain, but it inspires the greatest love songs of all time. There is so much beauty and truth in pain. What a twisted dichotomy of life.
💯💯💯
I haven't heard a Gloria Estefan joint in years.
Check out her " Don't Wanna Lose You." She's giving Karen Carpenter on both songs.
