When GROWN ASS WOMEN WHO COULD REALLY SING were in heavy rotation on the radio: Angela, Anita Baker, Vanessa Williams, Regina Belle, Patti Labelle, Jody Watley, Stephanie Mills, Betty Wright, Miki Howard, Vesta Williams, Cherrelle, Mica Paris and Whitney Houston! Real grown women who SANG!
So jealous I wasn't alive for this time I love this era but im 23 and my fav are Anita Baker Angela winbush Chantay savage Basia Sade Alicia Meyers And plenty more but these ladies are at the top.
One of my favs was this. You can definitely hear Angela's writing/production style in it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wfdiw62t5v8.html
I just learned on Good Morning America just a few minutes ago that Don Cheadle is in this video and there he is. The story of how he got the gig is - he brought a friend to the audition. Don didn't want the gig - but Debbie Allen was directing the video and offered him to participate. Don said no he wasn't interested but tried it anyway. He said he couldn't get the dance routine right and Debbie said no you are not going to quit - long story short she demanded that he practice - practice - practice & booyah there he is dancing his butt off.
WOW - I haven't heard this in like 30 years. Caught a Don Cheadle interview a couple weeks ago where the video was mentioned, and the title rang no bells, but then Angela on that hook reawakened a slumbering brain cell. Amazing.
Angela is beyond amazing. Wrote and produced this HIT! Not to mention her incredible vocal chops. And her physical beauty is the cherry on top of a talent sundae.
I been watching Ms. Winbush all day. just ran across this, from the Documentary , her story now makes her music so much more powerful to me. I grew up looking up to her as a model figure, and I was right. Thank you
This is Angela Winbush's second single from her second album an is one of her best songs besides Treat You Right which is another hit song that I like alot.
Angela Winbush is one of my favorite singers may God keep blessing her so she can keep blessing us with her great music thankyou for the great music you make
I was 7 when this song came out and i still remember watching B.e.t. 20 countdown with Donny Simpson, this waz number1 forever and i loved it. My mom had the tape and i listened to it more than her! This song was great, and also "Lay your troubles down" with Ronald Isley. Angela Winbush voice is amazing and her vocal range is sick!😃😃
I added this vid to my faves b'cuz it's got an old school groove that's still a bit catchy. Almost sounds like Tom Browne's "Funkin' for Jamaica". And of course, seeing Don Cheadle dance his butt off is the icing on the cake.
I'm so glad we as black folk moved beyond finding light-skin/beige/lgiht-colored eyed brothas the catch of the day and started appreciating our darker skinned bretheren. The darker the berry!!!
EVERYTIME I listen to this catchy little tune I get So “Happy!” Angela’s Voice and locals are “Out Of This World!” I’ll Always cherish and treasure this time in my “LIFE”
Angela is one of my favorite female artist. I love all of her music and I learned that she wrote songs for many other artists, including the Isley Brothers.
But who was the actual stud muffin she was dissing? Don is almost lost in the “shuffle”and you’d never pick him as the next star. It looks like he was auditioning for orange is the new black.
This video was honestly created waaaaaay ahead of its time. I could swear the video looks like it was made in our generation (2020) Angela was a baaaaaad Lady. I am inlove with her. 💕🦋 #Legend #Queen
Love this video with Angela Winbush!! And they're a lot of fine and handsome guys in this video!! Especially the one that Angela Winbush is singing to!! Whoo!! "It's gettin hot in here!!!" Lol!!!
Ya'll keep asking who the light-skinned male model in the video is, so here's the scoop. His name is Brad Johnson, and he's a restaurant owner in LA. He briefly dated Whitney Houston in the 80's. You're welcome.
I love the 90's also way better music than what we had to contend with for all of the 2000's " Real Thing" was released in 1989. The 80's was another decade of fantastic music also.
True! lalah hathaway, rachelle ferrel, kelly price, india arie have those voices. Angela's range is crazy though. Beautiful tone as well. Don't know why the masses go for the image and auto tuned artists.
Marvel should work it out with Angela's people to put this on their Avengers Infinity War soundtrack. That would be hilarious and a great for the fans.
1990! Miss ANGELA WINBUSH-"THE REAL THING" Saw this vid for the first time ever last Saturday night and remembered how much I loved this song. It was a big number one hit for her! Angela was fantastic and beautiful as always-but Mr Don Cheadle gets down like there's no tomorrow, what a surprise! He must of had a good agent because he's well featured in the background lol. Loved it!! Thanx for post!
TONE B HURT I read somewhere else here Don is friend of Debbie Allen ( of Fame ) who directed or choreographed this video and she made Don feature in it
Geesh 1980's I don't miss you one bit. I was a teenager who couldn't get into the 80's fashion and was grateful when the 90's finally rolled around. This video definitely brings back memories- "Hey Don Cheadle!"
