June 29, 2024

Definitely a classic

So so true...

Everytime I hear this song I think of the first time I heard it my first semester in college, 2nd week of orientation 1990. I needed a haircut, and someone told me to go this this dorm. This one guy was cutting everybody's hair for 10 bucks and almost every Black and Latino guy on campus was in this one room. I made life long friends that day, but this song coming through somebody's speaker blew my head away. "Who is this group?!?!?" Oh, That's HI FIVE!!! I insisted I needed a ride to the local shopping mall to get this album the next day!!

@@juniorjames7076 ❤️

so true as much as I would like to go back to being a kid again im pretty sure my kid self would wanna grow up again so idk i feel like there's no balance. You miss what you can't have back ig and wish for what you don't have

So crazy

But the Messie come to us right now this weeknd

You're right about that.

I grew up 60, 70, 80, 90and 20 but heart is still old school like this song 🎵

We took it for granted and thought that the good music vibes would last.

Amen

yes lad . word

Right I'm with you on that almost everything was better in the 90s from the cartoons,movies,toys,music,tv shows,sneakers,etc.

As a 40 y.o woman, i really want to go back to this time 😔

Yeah brother...good times. No fake stuff. Natural beauty. Barely any makeup.

What happen to those days?

I hear u man, I will be 44 in 5 months💯

Jason C Most definitely. Music had healing abilities and our brother Bob Marley knew this.

T Slap 😂

Same here and I AM 50 even my kids love this song!!!!passing down the generation of listen to this type of music👌👌👍👍

Dancing in the kitchen now!!! I was like oh oh oh right after listening to Tevin Campbell!!❤

Absolutely

Already 🎶🎶🎤🎤

Hell yeah

One of my fav groups and just learned the tragic story of their downfall smh…2 dead, 1 od’d, another paralyzed and dead, one in jail for killing his wife, his brother in jail also for killing his wife also like wow😬

💯👍

HI 5 will never go out of style!!

👌👍😉😁

Bh is here let's go

Now and FOREVER

Anthony Gutierrez I strongly agree with you!! Waiting for my favorite song to come on the radio and press record 😃❤️😃

Did you ever use a pen to rewind the cassette? 90's kid ingenuity right there hahahahaha

@@metamorphicme9378 Yes, I surely did😂😀

@@SweetnLo02 Me too😂😂 I still have a few cassettes, but I can't play them🤷😔😂 I'm keeping them tho as collectors' items 😁

@@SweetnLo02 Yes, I definitely understand where you're coming from!! That's good you had friends that shared the same musical ears as you, but I loved creating my own mixes cause I'm diverse in my musical tastes, which carried over to recording music onto blank CDs..I'm holding on to my great CD collection as well LOL!! Thank you for your advice on finding a legit cassette player cause I hadn't been looking until now.

I’m 14 listening to this now, I wish they made music like this today.

Shit i was 8 lol

THAT WAS THE GOOD OLD DAYS 😊 FOR SHO 😁

Same here "77" baby 💪🏽💪🏽

🙋me2

I thought it was just Me teary eyed right now ........love this Song

Man...those special moments in time that were captured in your heart and mind to only be relived through the nostalgia of music! That's were the tears come from for me. Part of my Heart will live in the 90's forever!🥺🥺🥺🥺

Brings back all them memories lol i remember what i had on the first time i heard this song man

@@MrEOM41 high5...h town = houston lol

Yes it was. Music, Clothes, Jewelry, Dances, just everything ❤❤❤❤❤

I started missing the 80's back in 2000. I just realised it was the beggining of the end, still waiting

@Emontre waters youngboy is fye watchu mean

Yesss

Good times family cookouts no worries

That was funny, made me laugh sorry :o)

🌹90's ........😀👍

🤣what lol

Such a different time it almost seems like a dream. Miss having talent and real R&B. The 90s was the last decade in my opinion of real R&B.

Most Definitely

Word bro😎

Meeeeee and I'm loving it!!!! ♥️

Bless the 1990s...

yes you are rite.. they wont..

Facts

1000% AGREED.

We really did...what a time for young, black music!

+Michael Roland true

Him and Dino from H-Town were a couple of my favorites!!

Anthony Ulysses Thompson, Jr. was an American singer-songwriter. Thompson was best known as the lead vocalist of the American R&B quintet Hi-Five, which had hit singles such as "I Like the Way" and "I Can't Wait Another Minute".

Living their dream But turned into a dang nightmare. RIP Tony,… hurts

He truly gave it his all at the end of this song, I always have to go back and reply the end a few times

It truly does hurt ​@@Laniece4u2

@@BeautyLoveGoddess Thank you.😘

BAM!!!!

I don't even waste my time listening to modern music anymore

Wasn’t one of these boys convicted of killing someone?

Him and Tevin Campbell were the closest thing to a young Michael Jackson we’ve had.

❤

R.I.p my Guy much love

Paulette Deberry been dead since 07. R.I.P

RiP 2019 And Still cant get Enough of his Vouce!🙏🙏🙏💯💕💕

Always!!!!

The 90s beat 2019 hand down. No competition.

Me!!! They were a fave of mine as a teen in the 90's. Tony had such a great voice. RIP

YUP

Such sad ending for the both of them

​@@nuimage6336 what happened to them

@@austintruesdale8818 poo passed away from an infection and pneumonia, Tony passed from a drug overdose. Russell Neal murdered his wife so sad.

❤

Cali Livin And I mean NEVER! Damn I loved this group growing up. R.I.P. indeed to brother Tony Thompson.

@@armanogibson5182 brandon

Anthony Ford ANYDAY

Him and Tevin Campbell were the closest thing to a young Michael we’ve ever had

I lived in Killeen and would ask my parents to take me there to meet them at their high school he was a talent

Really, cause he doesn't look like, a drug affiliated person, to me, I was like, that's not how he went out, people on drugs, have the life sucked out of then, skinny, shriveled up

I agree!! Very great time in music.

Agreed

Very well said.

I know the millennium music is not as genuine! 🎶

I agree HARD better then this auto tune fetty wap shit

Dang.... puppy love!!! Miss that.

Yes nothing today even comes close as far as how much quality went into the song as well as the wholesome meaning of young love

Shonda Gray this band would be similar to new edition and Tony would be Ralph

Precious Baby Doll Preach!!!!!!

They disbanded because they were unfortunate because they suffered alot of tragedies

Precious Baby Doll I can't believe he's dead(Tony). My crush💕💕💕😢

Right!!!

I try not to comment but it made me fng sad by listening to it. it's like you are forced to hop on a time slide when you were having a good time with friends and family at the time.

Yes 😌

RIP Tony Thompson, underrated artist.

Hell yeah

Can’t believe him and his brother killed there wife s

Present!!!

Yes!!!!

It's always been that way

True kpop as a whole was heavily influenced by western music

@@vilAvain People always love to undercut black contribution with 'well everybody' shut up

The record labels used the Motown method when grooming their artists.

Never will there be an era like the 90s always was a good time it was like a party everyday when I was a kid the fashion the haircuts I love it

Anthony Ulysses Thompson September 2,1975-June 1,2007.

Yes

Danelle Anderson so sorry for your loss. He is with the angels ❤

Danelle Anderson ..I miss him too

Sensational.

Me too!

Me as well LOL

Best era of music The 90s

IKR

Me tooo!!!! I sit and listen to the music from this era a lot..

Hi five was the shit

Yass!!!!!!!

I was in 10 grade too I understand! in Sanford Fl..USA SHS93 yes Lord!

LMAO! The second one anyway. The first one was the 1960's/ 70's

you forgot the 3os,40s and 50s when we invented the blues,jazz and doo wop and rnr.

Keep entertaining us! Lol

Oh Yes

Spring 91 had some major hit R&B songs 🎵

Man I was only 3 yrs old 👶🏽🍼

Teddy was 24 years old. A freakin genius he is.

@@rhonda8566 yes Levert, Michelé, Keith Sweat...

robin baby true indeed

Check me out I make RnB music

It's more sad that you guys are too lazy to research artists that actually sing r&b music and that you would rather whine and bitch than to actually support artists of today

TheGreen JEM This some real shit right here old heads needa understand this!💀

Sad but True SMH is

Me too!

55 me also

50 me too 😉

Me too...made 50 in April.....this was my shit

46 and me too

It almost feels like a different universe to be honest.

Ronnie lol I’m 40 and still love this song

46, and still remember playing this on my cassette player.....play....rewind....play.....rewind 🙂

It was 92, my junior year of high school . We all was so in love with hi- five, we had to play kissing game at the Junior, Senior prom ..

Same age ..can't forget was wonderful..Praise God for my times my life..

Me too

Perfect

Yesss

It iiiis!!!!!!!!

This is real music! after the 90s early 2000s music especially RnB is just....ughh

Yes it does there will never be good music like that 70 80 90 era

David Jackson song never gets old

Listening all day....I like the way!!!

good song. almost on lil uzi or drake’s level

David Jackson allday everyday!!😊

David Jackson most definitely listening to the oldies. Miss this gentleman. He looks like Carlton on the fresh prince Alfonso Robiero😢

God bless you, Julia Barrera! Just watched their unsung and I was in tears. I had no idea their story was that amazing. I really hope they get a biopic made soon. I became more of a fan from their unsung. RIP Tony.

That's awesome

I've been noticing the live videos you've been uploading lately. Thank you so much!!!! Girl, what were they like back in the day? Getting to meet them and be around them a lot like that at that particular time sounds like a dream come true! Particularly Tony and Pooh!!! What were they like?

@@TheNewgreatlife they were more like little brothers. And traveling together meant we got to know each other pretty quick. I will go into details in a short video soon.

@@EntertainmentWay Oooh that'd be awesome!!! Please do!!!!

I mean back lyrics

Same.. & I'm 14😩

You would've had to been to born before 1986 to enjoy the 90s. If you were born in 1990 you would've been a baby when this song came out. So maybe you meant you wish you born in the 70s or early 80s. lol

so true. .maybe it was on number one chart list that year. .I smile every time again. .when I hear the music. .aiii damn. .top times

man best time of my life. remembering hearing these songs on the radio the music atmosphere during these times was marvelous the whole new jack swing, uprising of reality rap/gangsta rap. pac, Big..Mariah ft ODB(remixed by P daddy), Mary j blige, xscape, TLC, etc etc. the list goes on. the music was and still is timeless.

Married in 99 but born in 1967 still my jam...music like this is gone..

It was soooo much fun! Wish I could go back so bad!❤️

I route for brother, I was born 1998 and this generation music is my favorite

It was lit and turnt. Best days ever- I am 43 now and it was an absolute privilege having experienced the 80's and 90's.

I was born in 1981. I remember when this song came out on the radio.

Wow did he really?

nope!!!!!Bernard Belle!!!!!!

YES TEDDY RILEY!!!!

Yes teddy did his thang on this one

Teddy, Babyface, Al B Sure and Devante Swing always seem to be behind the best R&B jams of the period. All super talented men.

I am still in love with my. daughter’s dad from 1985

it's definitely in mine

I agree with you OReggieO

I say this all the time💯

1985 baby

@@AnthonySmith-bq2if me too. 85 baby. Kid of the 90's.

Yep I was a kid/teen in the 90s. I think I'm stuck in the 90s musically speaking💯

Teach the children!

trust me go with your time if you didn't when out when this song came out you won't have the same feelings for us it brings good memories back

hay I feel da same way

when i was 11 i wasnt even computer literate this generation is lucky

for me ..this song brings memories back before I had my first child (20 now )...for me it was like getting ready for a evening out. ..and fun without worrying about tomorrow. .

what I meant to say is. .different between you used go out on the song or "calling it now old skool rb

It so sad to know that Tony struggle with addiction makes me wonder what was he trying to escape, very talented and handsome and his voice false tenor with his style of singing was a hit for me when I first heard it.

same

Right

Leondra Felder not me I was 2 when this came out

I feel sooo old watching this video! from the cassette tape to RU-vid!!! seeing Tony makes me wanna cry. where did the years go by?!

preach

Yes he was now was his death a accident or suicide i be hearing different things

The another member in this video clip got paralysed from the neck down... also apparently Tony died taking in some refrigerants from the air conditioning to get high

coltonphillips725 he wasn’t murdered.. he fell back into his drug habits

Raza Daza the other member was Roderick aka Pooh and he is paralyzed from waist down not neck.

Aaliyah Henderson lucky the other members in the car were fine.. so unlucky..

About to be 43 and yep!

_Nice_ 😄

Same age me as well we didn't know it then the best times of our lives ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Totally enjoy the 80s and 90s music.. Many memories for every song, every artist. The music brings back that good feeling - when music was the best!! ❤️❤️

Yes u know

I lived in the same apartments he died at and at the same time. Tragic. All I could hear is people talking about how he died but I was around 11 or 12 and didn't know much about the impact Hi-5ive had at the time. Sad 😥.

joseph traca seriously All the good stuff is on here It’s the only music app I use

And Spotify so I have this on the go.
