The gentleman that signs along and says “my man” right before the first chorus is Dorian Harewood and he was in the original Sparkle (1976), which this song is from.
This Was Actually A Remake Scene From The 1976 Movie Sparkle featuring Actress Irene Cara & Aretha Franklin Did The Soundtrack Produced By Curtis Mayfield She Did The Original Version Of This Song & In 2012 They Did A Remake Of Sparkle With Jordin Sparks & Whitney Houston Before She Passed Away ♥ 🙏🏿🙏🏿
No, they didn’t do a Verzuz. That was SWV and Escape. There were a few celebs in this. You saw a couple like El Debarge. Singer Johnny Gill is also in the video. And the guy who played in the original version of “Sparkle”, the 70s movie from which this song is from. His name is Dorian Harewood and he played Levi Brown in the movie. Definitely check out more En Vogue!
This is a tribute to the classic 70's black movie "SPARKLE" (1976) staring Irene Cara, Lonette McKee and Phillip Michael Thomas about female singing group in Harlem 1950's ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Jl1xDS3JL4o.html (Famous Scene) and Aretha Franklin did the Soundtrack album version produced by Curtis Mayfield ( Big Success)
En Vogue does justice to this with this remake of a classic by Aretha Franklin for the 1978 iconic film “ Sparkle” starring Irene Cara. The video is a play off one of the of scenes in the movie. One of the actors in the film Dorian Harewood is one of the men in the audience.
Love watching your facial expressions during your reactions. They tell me how you’re processing what you’re seeing/hearing better than words. The Verzuz was actually SWV vs Xscape.
I am telling you, that Funky Divas album was legit as hell. Its the only En Vogue album I own and I have it on tape and cd. They ran the full gamut of slow jams, to rockers, to r&b, to whatever.... very talented girls.
This song is amazing and a throw-back because it was previously recorded by Aretha Franklin. En Vogue does an amazing job with this remake and they were one of the best female groups of the nineties, along with SWV. The Verzuz was SWV and Xscape and in my opinion SWV won that one!
This is an Aretha Franklin song. It also was sang in the original Sparkle movie with Irene Cara and Lonette McKee. The remake has Jordin Sparks and Whitney Houston. Check them both out if you haven’t seen it.
This is one of the GREATEST remakes ever✅✅I pray Aretha loved this shit, man😣😣HTF do 4 people F a song by ONE ARTIST LIKE THAT❓❓⁉️The beginning ALONE is the shit. Took growing up to recognize all the faces in this video🤎🤎
Alright. I have a special request for you people that do reactions. Make us old timers, that grew up on this music, a video describing how you feel about our old music. We really like watching your reactions to things like the lyrics, solos, etc... It makes us smile when you are pleasantly surprised with an old classic. I graduated high school in 76 and all of this was on the radio every day. It's great to see young people discover what we had back in the day. Thanks in advance. Everyone give a thumbs up on this comment if you think this is a good idea.
- "Used to have a crush on Dawn from En Vogue" - Phife Dawg - This particular song, is was originally done by Aretha Franklin, which is why it sounds like an old school song.... it's a remake
5:41 Oh No. You don’t dismiss the ladies like that. Shame… shame… shame. Aunts, uncles and cousins would be head slapping you right now. Take the full 3 minutes to appreciate these Soul Divas, they deserve it.
Lol you stopped and went paranoid for a second. Idk why I laughed so hard... Probably cuz that's exactly what happens when I've had head phones in too long lol
I’d like to just throw in, they look AMAZING!! Beautiful and sexy, of course, but elegant. And fully dressed. And look far better than any almost naked girl(tho it’s hard to even blame women n not the industry manipulating them, at least some of the time). Anyway. Just think this era of dress was beautiful. Tasteful. Leaves room for you imagination!! Lol
Love En Vogue; SWV should stand for Sisters Without Voices.. If they had not put the M.J. track on their Record, I do not think they would have made it as big.. ♠W.G.
Watch the movie sparkle with Irene cara. It’s an original from the movie or utube that particular scene from the movie. I would love to see your reaction to the original version.
I. Want you to play, Lenny Williams, "Cause I Love You." Look for the live version in all black leather. You will definitely be getting up out of the chair,. Also the Flamingoes doing "Jump Children'. Please let me know if you received my donation last week. I'd make it a habit if I know it's getting to you, I love what you're doing. The cash app ID came up a little different than the one I posted. I'm careful about sending funds if I have any doubt, because lost money before trying to purchase a book that had been written by a classmate that I had not seen in over 50 years. Her cash app had been hacked. Do you have a certain time that you come on the air? I'd like to catch you live. Be Blessed *youngin', lol.
Please listen to Aretha's original version of this, the recorded version from the 1976 Sparkle, then the two live vids of Queen Aretha killing this that are available also. All three vastly superior to this mediocrity, obviously.
