REMASTERED IN HD! Music video by Crystal Waters performing Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless). (C) 1991 PolyGram Records Inc. #CrystalWaters #GypsyWoman #Remastered
When this song came out I had a neighbor that played the hell out of this song. He was a house dancer and played this all day. My walls would vibrate. 30 years later I'm watching this video...😂😂😂 amazing!!!
The genius of this song is overwhelming. I’m not sure if it’s Crystal Waters’s haunting vocals that bring awareness to the less fortunate or it’s that incredible crawling bass line. The way the song balances lyrics with singable melody and the way the drop offs round out the composition is perfection.
Crystal waters said in her live interview she remembers an older homeless lady singing . She remembers when she was a kid , that it was a homeless lady always singing while asking for change in New Jersey . That's why says constantly repeats the chorus . she remembers her everyday life in New Jersey. It's a timeless classic from.my high years back in year : 1991. Crystal water is the daughter of Legendary: jazz musician Junior waters .
I cannot believe this song is 33 years old. Way ahead of its time. My moms gay male bestie was on this HARD! Rest in peace Lee! This ones for you baby!
@@user-be7tc2bd6e Same here I used to think I was a weirdo for liking the same Cece Penniston, Crystal Waters, Robin S, The Good Girls, Kathy Dennis, Black Box but then I remembered to hell with what anybody thinks (2nd to None - I gotta be true to myself)
@@user-be7tc2bd6e Exactly and what ive lwys noticed is if you play it around people who only play rap all of a sudden you find out they like it also they were just to afraid to show it
@@ronaldwitchita2830 So true.I grew-up in a very bad-HOOD-in PHILLY-and if you talked about any music besides r&b,rap,etc,etc,..you were dis-owned and your blackness questioned. So,most fans of other types of music kept quiet and just listened to it in private.
@@SilverSpoon_ You need Millenium disc / M-DISC for that. Magnetic media lives long, but not so much. Even better I heard Microsoft have some recording with a lasers inside the crystals. That might stay there for very long.
Lol yes i was doing this but every time i hear this song but slowed it makes me simp for kiri todo bakugo denki the spikey purple hair one definitely not mineta LOl idk why they just so hot this song makes me simp 😱😱😱😱😱😱
Most modern music is crap for flip sake, I get people ask me if I listen to lil uzi, I can tell from the name that they’ve probably made teenagers suicidal with lyrics
This song reminds me of going shopping with my grandma at Macys in the morning before she passed away, ironically the store is in the singer’s hometown 😂
I always liked her regardless of what In Living Color said but it was still funny... I should be homeless yabba dabba doo, yabba dabba d look at you look at me... Something like that
@@songotsampleswell because of the simplicity of the lyrics and the repetitive chorus it was considered trash, the 90s was basically the beginning of the end of meaningful music. In comparison to music produced these days this songs a masterpiece.
When music was about awareness of social issues and positive change, man I miss the 90s❤ what’s funny is we were dancing to these songs and dancing to them and half the time didn’t even realize what we were singing and dancing too, yet we had a level of respect for one another all the same.
I've been trying to find this song for ages, And there is so many songs that copy the backing track and edge me by making me think I finally found the original, I'm happy to say I've found it after years of occasionally searching
Billie Eilish is an industry plant. Both of her parents are high up in the music industry. Also, there's probably a million other bands/musicians more edgy than she tries to be.
A lot of underprivileged gypsies in my country do that. They go around the neighborhood singing to sell the products they have. I love their colorful skirts and the ribbons they put in their braids.
@Lilly Rickgauer ah i was replying to star girl, she wrote Gypsy on her comment. now that you also wrote it on your comment please refrain, some Romani people can have trauma connected to the word.(I am Romani myself, I am reclaiming the word.)
What r u talking? It was 90s and even at the beginning of the 90s this wouldn't have been considered "ahead of its time". I feel like people completely and utterly pontificate when they use the phrase "ahead of its time" for eh or just okay music that blended into the ERA they originated in. Music that paves the way for a new sound, or type of music or etc... would be considered AHEAD OF ITS TIME! #CHOPBUSTIN'TUESDAYS Lol
@@Onigumo. I just listened to that, while i see why you say that but I disagree, the harmonies are too differents, it's mostly the rythm which is similar
It sounds deep but it's inaccurate. Most homeless are mean snakes even when you try to help them. That's how it is here in CA. Maybe it's different elsewhere.
The bass grabs my atention bc its like in some moments out of the chords and (apart from that) its almost like a double bass, Is so simple but has so much groove
Definitely. Even tho i had no idea what she way saying when i was a lil kid (5-6yo) i still was dancing to the beat. Im 16 now and its still an absoute hit. Not gonna lie, i wish i was born in the 90s with all these musical bangers.
In ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KAq04oyRU98.html it is explained what chord progression has been used. It is explained how those chords must be played.
Except it was truly appreciated - but in it's own time, especially at clubs. The fact that it's so old now (came out in 1990) means that most younger people don't know about it. Which is why later musicians like some rappers tried to take advantage of this fact and shamelessly tried to incorporate bits of the song in to their own.
