P.M. Dawn Reaction Looking Through Patient Eyes (LESSON IN FLIPPING GEORGE MICHAEL!) Empress Reacts 

I heard P.M. Dawn's songs first on the radio so I never knew they were sampling 80's classics. They were my middle school jams. Probably the best sampling of 80's hits ever. Tight vocal harmonies too.

My Jersey boys!!!! PM Dawn's lyrics are incredible-they are poets.

these guys were ahead of their time, mixing rap and pop.Pm Dawn was a US group and had monster hits.

Listen to there song set a drift of memory bliss it's 🔥

This song features a sample of father figure by George micheal and British singer Cathy Dennis on backing vocals

EVERYONE was Prince influenced!

They were 1 of my faves back then. Still love their music today. Set adrift tops it for me

Crazy he (“Prince B”) and George Michael passed away 6 month apart from each other.

Bought this CC single 30+ years ago

LL Cool J also samples Father Figure in his track Father, check that one out. You could be onto something here reacting first to the original song then reacting to other songs that sample the original.

P.M. Dawn is from New Jersey. The two lead singers are brothers.

Try reacting to Die Without You or Set a Adrift on Memory Bliss. This song was obviously him talking to God and one of my favorites. The bigger guy (Attrell) worked as a night security guard for a homeless shelter to raise money needed to record his songs and wrote poetry that would read them sometimes to female s he would walk t home at night if they seemed scared to calm them. True gentleman and sadly not with us anymore. So at least some of the songs you hear come straight from his poetry.

I forgot about this fire bop!

My god, it's so evident to the ''Father Figure'' sample because this strange mood of the vibe. Difficult to reproduces because ''Father Figure'' was a masterpiece who this ballad was very sensual and my favorite all-time song of George. George talk about the conception of Father Figure in many interview after the released in single of this song. The strange mood and ambiance of the song was a accident, because originally, ''Father Figure'' was written and recording in a dance track at the same level to ''I Want Your Sex'' or ''Hard Day''. But when he mixing the album in summer 1987 to prepare the released of the ''Faith'' album, he accidently removed the snare drums and it's changed totally the song, becoming this song has a ballad and this strange ambiance becoming this song more sexy (instead of the dancing vibe to this song have originally) and he hear the finger claps has a beat that you hear in the final version instead of patterns snare drums for dancing. George love better this song has a ballad (and the synthetizers playing sound very original compare to the original version conceived) and he kept it like that in the album. He work and mixing the song with his dreamy and very strange and spacy sound for the final version in the album. George cited himself ''Father Figure'' his most original sounding song of the ''Faith'' album and one of his favorites tracks of his life until the death. For him, he never hear a sounding song like that in radios before he choose has the third single of the album. This song was worldwide hit in 1988, but with the years, this song became more popular and was very influencals and many cited this song a huge influence because of his spacey and dreamy sound and the particular mood of the song and many songs of today used this sound (for example ''E.T.'' by Katy Perry or ''Don't Hall the Wall'' by Justin Timberlake).

Yes. This was Fire from the UK in the early 90s. They had the best and most innovative music coming from across the pond. U.S. music was approaching the boring Grunge Era. Ugh!

Learned something new tonight, Empress is not a fan of older hip hop. This is one of my jams. That’s two sample songs that didn’t hit w you. Better luck next month. The female in the chorus is Cathy Dennis, not an actual member of PM Dawn. I think you reacted to one of her songs. The lead singer, with the eye cover is another one that died too soon.

Es always easy ride a hit song into fame. YES ! I like this original song but, the addition makes it all the more identifiable

You comment a lot on the beats and samples but in this song I think you really did yourself a disservice not really listening to what the lyrics are saying. If you had caught the deeper meaning of the song then you might have vibes with it much more

So you said that p.m. Dawn reminds you of somebody else that are rappers right? Well normally I wouldn't say this but if I could correct you it would be more like the other rappers would remind you of PM Dawn because I'm sure PM don't came first. These boys I tell you.. I grew up in the '80s and 90s I was born in 79 I was one of the many that were blessed and lucky to be alive when music took a substantial shift at the end of the '80s all throughout the '90s. The birth of East Coast West Coast the different styles of rap r&B hip hop there was the Seattle grunge explosion there was outkast popping up out of Atlanta punk music when it was actually punk like 311 and Green Day.. it was when rock and roll faded out and that like 90s hard Rock blended with metal.. the grandfather of gangster rap Eazy-E.. and we can't forget Bone Thugs-N-Harmony because ain't nobody sound like them to this day. 🙏 I'm 43 now and I've got five daughters of my own between the ages of eight and 21 and I listen to this stuff all the time it's where I am at musically when the 90s ended you know in the early 2000s pardon my language but so many genres just went to absolute shit. The internet became readily available here in the United States and everybody that had a camcorder or any kind of way to digitally record themselves up to and including smartphones would create a RU-vid account because they think their musicians. Back in the days of like p.m. Dawn and earlier.. you had to have talent you had to actually tore around with whatever money you could get flipping burgers at like McDonald's or something and hope that you made it big. Back when people and bands male and female vocalists paved the way with nothing but talent because they were bringing something brand new to the table. These days.. again pardon my language but this particular genre now is just garbage. What this kind of music turned into is just horrible and yuck. I'm glad you like the song. Imagine being back in the club you know either dancing with the boys or dancing with the girls and then the mood shifts when something like this comes on. Man it takes me back it really does. I miss those days. Music is a very very very powerful form of communication it is the universal language. And for those of you that might doubt that you or me since you're here on RU-vid and in the search bar type in the following give it a listen and see what you think: The Hu Shireg Shireg 🙏
