1996 I bought A tribe Called Quest's beats Rhyme and Life album. I discovered Tammy from the Once Again single. I was a fan of hers since. Then I went back and bought SWV's New Beginnings album and saw her name in the credits for Use Your Heart. Pure talent.
@@kenW13 Boy you got it goin' on, on and on and on. on and on and on. on and on and on.YEAH- YEAH YEAH. The way she sings that "Yeah" sounds so sweet. Love hearing it every time.
As a 90s born millennial I find it amazing that I keep discovering new artists from that decade , I knew of this song via SWV, now I’m just discovering that this woman Tammy wrote/produced this song
Man… I wish we had some more Tammy Lucas. Im seeing that she laid the foundation for many female artist that The Neptunes worked with in their early career like Kelis, Latrelle, etc. Turn off the lights was dope as well.
Oh, I love this. I was just listening to SWV version and this demo was in my recommendations. Ms. Tammy voice and delivery is refreshing like blue skies on a sunny day. I wonder what the setbacks and excuses were during the time. Knowing this field of entertainment, she was probably told that "it's not the right time" and "we don't know what to do w/ you." You know, all of the tall tales that they tell so well to gifted black women. Anyway, I'm loving this demo. It's everything that I love about the '90s.
I love this version of 'Use your heart'. It would be perfect if this could have been a collaboration with SWV and Tammy. We needed to hear this, so clean. Maybe keep SWV on the chorus
That would've been a good idea. SWV on background vocals. Tammy Lucas has such a butter soft voice and that coupled with the richness of SWV's voices. Brilliant.
@@iluvmyboba Yes! If I knew how to mix music, I would create it myself and combine both versions. I would keep Tammy's verses and probably include Taj's bridge. That would be fire 🔥
All these years I never knew and I own the cassette single, cd single, album on cd and cassette of New Beginnings I never knew Tammy this is your song!!!! My joint….I’ve always been a fan of yours!!!! 💕💕💕💕
oh my god. I've loved Use Your Heart since the 90s. Had no idea there was ANOTHER version of it, even if a demo. So glad I found it over 20 years later
I've been going around correcting people on the fact that you wrote This Record not that it would matter to you but you deserve your flowers my sister beautiful record well done it's safe to say I love the 90s and I miss it from an artistic standpoint growing up in them I'm old and it's just not the same but I'm thankful I can go back and relive as an adult full-fledged grown man and appreciate it more continued success Ms Lucas and thank you for what you've done for music ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@jameswilliams406 if you dont know by now Pharrell doesn't fully write ALL the records he produces, we all saw what happened with Kelis...its usually collaborative but he has the sole credit
@@ParentalDiscretionIsAdvisedexactly. and when you’re a producer for the record you usually get a songwriting credit. like chad hugo doesn’t write, but he’ll pop up in the songwriting credits as part of the neptunes because he’s a producer and plays instruments on the song.
Ugh Chad on the sax and keys. P on the drums. Such a killer production duo.

Pure. Love how she floated on that “once again” track.

She also sang on Heavy D’s “Is It Good To You” and had her own version of the song…
The fact that this popped up on my RUclips timeline is a indicator that I have great taste in music and this track was very nice.
As a 90s born millennial I find it amazing that I keep discovering new artists from that decade , I knew of this song via SWV, now I’m just discovering that this woman Tammy wrote/produced this song
She only sang it. The Neptunes wrote and produced it.
@@Ned_Slandersok, it just a beautiful combination! and they all come from Hampton Virginia area
@@Ned_Slandersshe did some vocal production so I believe she had production credit but in terms of the song neptunes lead production and lyrics
@@Ned_Slanders Singing = Vocal songwriting/credits my guy. Music business 101.
I wish they would drop a clear version of all of Tammy’s demos/unreleased songs she’s the most untapped talent of the 90s.
This version sounds more “Neptuney” than the final version
💯 it doesss!
I was just thinking that
I would do anything to bring back the 90s sound. Hot joint!!!
💯🎯
Listen to some Ojermie
Wow I like this demo version 🔥

Ain’t that sad she’s so underrated, smdh. That’s real talent right here !
this really the best reference track i've ever heard if i've heard one. and it's better than the original. tammy you the illest.
Whoa whoa whoa. Slow that shit down😂😂😂 Just no
@@traderhinesYeah hes tripping, guy wanna compensate because thammy has the original, mad respect to her, but swv destroyed the song.
Tammy's voice make me cry 🥺
Facts
I was today years old. I love Tammy Lucas. 😍😍😍
Awesome unrecognized singer, songwriter! What a shame! So much talent!!!!!!

Have to go back and listen to swv version... dem girls definitely made it their own with their signature sound...
Actually, it’s not much of a difference.
Whoever is running this account. Thank you so much. I always loved her voice.
This sounds dreamy compared to the final version

I fell in love her voice .. 😢
She killing it
oh my god. I've loved Use Your Heart since the 90s. Had no idea there was ANOTHER version of it, even if a demo. So glad I found it over 20 years later
My late brother loved this tune!
Gave me instant goosebumps ❤
Tammy has that….. “I want my Woman to sing to me like that!” Voice….
Been captivated since I first heard her in the 90s
90s sound baby. Perfect no mix
Demo version of the beat giving me Joe's "Isn't This The World" vibes
She was one of my favorites in the 90s.
Touched my soul!!! Thanks for sharing such a gem!
Much love Tammy...you're a jewel of a person when it comes to this music
This is just beautiful!!!!
Oh I love this version 😫🥰💞
Special 🔥🔥🚀🚀🚀
I like this version!!!!This gives me more of a tribe called quest beats rhymes and life vibe…. I can see SWV pull this off though.
low key I like this better than SWV
Love this version also
Love it
Nothing like a Chad n Pharrell beat!

Wait she wrote it ?? Not Pharrell ?

Umm what happens with Kelis? Did he give her a shady deal?
Whew 🔥🔥🔥
Yesssss loved this song
Thank you for sharing 😭❤️❤️❤️
this is incredible. holy grail
Dying to know if this is a sample. So magical. Sounds a bit like Michael "The Lady in My Life" and Zero 7 "In the Waiting Line".
Definitely Michael Jackson lady in my life
The original. Sing it Tammy!
The best.
Timeless
Whew 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I want this on vinyl
lovely
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tammy has different vibe
Remastered Mix: ruclips.net/video/RZ1aGYnMFYQ/видео.html
This song is on Kendrick Lamar new album
This is the demo for SWVs. Use your heart. This instrumental is not the same as kendricks
I wish you would have put out at less one solo record Ms. Lucas! You're astonishingly talented!!!!!
We need to listen clearly this unreleased jawns by Tammy
They really should lift the lyrics from this and place it on the cleaner sounding instrumental version. Pure 🔥
Did Tammy Lucas cover swv or did swv cover Tammy Lucas
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This bridge is wayyy cooler than the final
shoutout to youknowigotsoul.
They need to clean this up,her vocals are fire though❤😊
This was recorded in the early 90s and it’s a demo. This is the best you will get.
Saw this snippet from the IG post
SWV shoulda kept this demo and shoulda sang this song with this beat!
New Beginning 1996
Tbh the version they had is beautiful and the interlude damnnn
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🫡👸🏽🏁🏁🏆
man......
If Tammy & Jhene Aiko did a song together ❤
It's not better than SWV, but it's great.
If this song with Tammy Lucas Use Your Heart version was master it would knock SWV version out the game
That is Tammy Lucus in the SWV version it just Taj lip synching in the video
Lies
Shut up
No that’s Taj’s voice. Tammy Lucas sings way better than Taj.
No it’s not
This is an 🪶🇺🇸 Standard. Incredible, less is best.
Exactly
