Pop radio stations always play the hell out of the same forty effin’ songs for months. It’s the record industry’s tactic to wear down the mentally weak masses subconsciously to make them buy into the performer. That hasn’t changed.
The woman of that era that were “pushed” were older also. Cherelle, Anita Baker, Sade, Angela Winbush, Stephanie Mills, Tina Turner Patti Labellle etc. Think about it, Janet Jackson was the “young one”
As much as I’d like to agree with you… listen to Paul lekakis “boom boom” and see Cher’s outfit in “ if I could turn back time” 😂😂😂 but yes these ladies are extremely classy and I love that too ❤
I have always love this song! I am watching Pebbles CBS uncut interview and she said that Charlie Wilson produced this song and sings background vocals.🙂. I listened for him and heard him too!💕
Uh....I was a kid when this video dropped 😂 Back in 1988 we watched this on BET all day long! RUclips finally has a decent HD cut of this video up which is great.
@mikealan1984 back in the day she promoted TLC...SHE STOLE ALL THE ROYALTIES. They were BROKE...recording artists. They literally accepted a Grammy award and they were broke literally😢 they certainly turned it around❤
I dunno. Sounds like everything I hated about late 80s r&b. Electronic bass, predictable patterns, no soul. Clean and synthetic. The things late 80s hip-hop was trashing.
I dare say that alot of us guys wanted to ride in her Mercedes back in the 80's. Haha. The crazy thing is...exactly 10 years after she made this album (1987), she actually left the Pop music scene, went through a religious conversion and became a pastor. She is now known as "Sister Perri" and founded the "Women of God Changing Lives Ministries". She still sings but only does Gospel music now.
REALLY ??? I didn't know that. WOW. Didn't another female singer go the religious route ??? The one that was in Prince's female group. A pastor ??? Nothing wrong with that tho,serving GOD.And it's her life.
The male model in the video, Rudy Houston, is now Lana Houston after he transitioned to a female. I remember Rudy being in a lot of music videos in the late 80s
Yes.. In her former "Journey " Rudy Houston was the face 80's video !!!!Rudy was the love interest of every big Black Pop Female from Janet Jackson on down . So happy she can live her life authentic!!
I would give ANYTHING to go back to that magical, mystical day so as to relive Dat ol' skool funk to no end... COME ALIVE AGAIN! Man she was devastating. And that guitar solo was genre-defying and sounded so wicked in a dance/pop/urban-style song.
I truly miss the days of the 80's of my youth when so many women looked as good as Pebbles did in this video. Pebbles, thanks so much for this song and video! Great Song, Great memories!!

Hip hop and R&B certainly had a golden age in late 80’s in the early 90’s.
80's glam overload. I love it!
Me too. LOL.
I used to get perms and tease them up sky high like hers! Love the 80s!
My girlfriend at the time was a real fashionista. She used to where her hair like that. Seeing this brings back a lot of good memories.@@artdollz
Pebbles was simply drop dead gorgeous!!!
This video was everywhere
Yes she was I was 10 when this song came out and I was like she's beautiful
She still is.
So were the other two women in the video.
@@loki2240 / yes sir I agree!
This was actually a clever track.
Ol' skool funk guitar turns on the magic fused with virtually any style music
This is one of my favorite Pebbles song ever written. Still jam to it now a days in 2023. Timeless
Me too. Good,fun and a nice dance track too. Plus,Pebbles is-GORGEOUS-in this video.
Love it ❤❤❤
Pebbles was fine wine!!!
Was? She can still get it!😂
@@MG-xy2sd LOL

Still sooo good in 2024
I was here listening to it in the 80s
Pebbles is killing it on this track.
This song have me rocking in early 2024
It never ends😅❤
I didn't know she has two backup dancing singers on that song Mercedes Boy
Me too girl, first time ever hearing it I Really Love Me Some Old School Music Like This Frfr
This song has me rocking in late 2024 😁
I heard it start playing in the supermarket last night and had to bust a move right quick, still got it
A natural woman. Real beauty. I miss those days
Music was better back then! And everyone dressed classy and respectable!👍👍👍👍
No they didn't. Each era had their trash😂
@@lewid019 e lon is our trash 🤣

Glad to see this video finally have a CLEAR HD version up on RUclips!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love this song to pieces!!
Pebbles was outrageously gorgeous. A true 10
Absolutely gorgeous!!
Even in her old age she is HOT.
Baby is there Pebbles
Yeah, she was a true 10. She from Oakland though, I am sure she broke many hearts.
I doubt TLC agrees though 😂. She pimped them sistas out.
Pebbles was just fly makeup ,hair and clothes on point !
You know it!
Glad to see that the music video for this song finally dropped! 😅 36 years after the single came out. Better late than never!
This video isn’t new at all they just remastered it
Uh....I was a kid when this video dropped 😂 Back in 1988 we watched this on BET all day long! RUclips finally has a decent HD cut of this video up which is great.
Even if you were born after the recording of this video how is that you haven’t seen the original video from it?
Huh?? I assure you this 36 year old *video* is in no way new. Where you been?
@@Zanaaa50 yep this was play all on B.E.T on Video soul with Donnie Simpson when I was 8 years old 😊
I remember this from the end of 1987 to the beginning of 1988 great music back in those days
Released 1989
This makes me smile. Good childhood memories!
Haven't heard this song in a long time. I love Pebbles.
Everytime this came on the radio, I would turn the volume all the way up. I can see nothing has changed.
Year was 88 19 yrs old live in DC
I was 70 in 1990
@@deeward5572 7 or 70? Because you would be 104 years old right now….it’s possible but I doubt it 😂
Retro 80s Glam, Beautiful and Classy❤
1989! I was 20. The good old days. Good memories.
You had it good. Cause you basically had all of your teens years in the 80's.
I was 21 lol 😂
I had the HUGEST crush on this woman as a kid!!!!! Still do in 2024....😅
Can we go back to the 80’s yet? Come on science catch up!
RUclips is a time machine.
Pebbles has so much appeal
RIP my childhood friend big sis. These times bring great memories. #drugaddictionisreal😥🙏🏾🕊️
I AM SORRY 😔
This song is the bomb.😍😍😍😍
Back to the 80z and 90z when music had a sense in it
I'm sorry, but pop beats have NEVER been as good as this since. The bass with that extremely punchy beat practically forces you to dance 😎
Man, I so miss the 80s!!
I was in 5th grade, I soooo wanted her black dress! She looked so beautiful! ❤
In my early 20s in the 80s we were tough looking and the ladies were SMOKIN. NEVER FORGET THE 80S.
I have always liked this music video by Pebbles. This video was released in 1988. Pebbles is one of my favorite female singers. God bless Pebbles!🙏
ALWAYS LIKED THIS PARTICULAR SONG BY PEBBLES.
The best song in 1988 finally in HD!😭
Wow-what a sharp, clear picture! Looks like it was made yesterday, instead of 35 years ago! Great song, great video!
I am still riding in my 1989 old school Mercades 😊
This Song is the bomb
who still listening to this and much more from this era still to this day???
May 2024 still rocking this song.
Me in flagstaff,AZ Dam Pebbles
Me
When I was in high school I bought a Right On Magazine just to get her photo. I would be glued to Video Soul just to look at this woman.
Now this is a classic
# 2 hit from this week in 1988-Great song!
I was 11 when this came out...I miss those days so much
I was 8
Me too
Me too
I was 12
I was 4 months old 😃
Love this 80'$ jam. Love miss Pebbles just as much.
I always like to hear this one when I'm cruising around town in my 89' Mercedes 190E!
Tell me what your doing to do.
There was nobody hotter than Pebbles at this time!
Karyn White & Janet, Jody Wately
All beautiful, talented stars! Janet’s songs and music videos were the best of that era, but Pebbles’ visuals were insane!
Vanity Shelia e and the list go on
Vertical video before it was a thing, ahead of the time, great song
This song was sooooooo smooth. . . ..much safer back then, to cruse with your friends around town
She may have stole all TLC’s royalties, but 80’s Pebbles was 🔥
LOLLL
Petty
I need the TEA I'm lost
@@FlipStar26 that was funny, LOL
@mikealan1984 back in the day she promoted TLC...SHE STOLE ALL THE ROYALTIES. They were BROKE...recording artists. They literally accepted a Grammy award and they were broke literally😢 they certainly turned it around❤
My dad loved this so g so much he went out and got a Mercedes lol
Always loved Pebbles. Used to play the crap out of this and Girlfriend during my time as a club DJ. Great tune!!
I REALLY like GIRLFRIEND also,good dance track and good beat.
Love the nice fancy black lace dresses and satin white dresses⭐⭐⭐⭐🥰 and pebbles was beautiful 💎
This classic takes me back to 89 as that's when it became a massive radio hit in my country👌
Who is here in 2024?
Me baby. Ri e yad
SiriusXM brought me here
ME
August of 24. Love the Summer Classics
Shol is right now !!!!!
This song is actually very intricate with layers of melodies playing off each other. Listen closely. One of the 80s best grooves.
Polyrhythms. Syncopation and despite the complexity everything has space
I dunno. Sounds like everything I hated about late 80s r&b. Electronic bass, predictable patterns, no soul. Clean and synthetic. The things late 80s hip-hop was trashing.
This remastered track sounds fresh 😀
Pebbles sure was gorgeous back then!
Love it! This was the jam in 1988 I was a youngin' then I wish they upload the extended version of Mercedes Boy in HD
Beautiful women back in the day
That dude was in everything back in da day. Videos, movie extra, Newport ads.. everything
Yes ..They definitely appeared in everything.
True story
He is now a she
lol 😂 he was that dude now he a trans

After she fleeced TLC as their manager. Gotta love these holier than thou types. Nothing but snake oil salesmen
Awesome video!
The cinematography, colors, 80's style, and energy all great.
The song brings back memories of the movie license to drive. Love the 80s

Did you wit at BET?
@@sunshin4m naw
even BACK in the LATE 80's I knew he/she, was one of them. he/she, had that LOOK.
80s music was the best
Beautiful lass with those striking brown eyes at the end of the video
I would give ANYTHING to go back to that magical, mystical day so as to relive Dat ol' skool funk to no end... COME ALIVE AGAIN!
Man she was devastating. And that guitar solo was genre-defying and sounded so wicked in a dance/pop/urban-style song.
One of my Mother's FAVORITE SONGS! R.I.P. Mom🙏🏾❤️

Pebbles, thanks so much for this song and video! Great Song, Great memories!!
This was the hottest song back n 88..
Love this song. The women were real & so beautiful then, now almost everyone in the business is fake, airbrushed & do not have real talent
Good video. Good song.
No swearing, no racist slurs, completely clothed and full of talent. I miss the 80’s music.
You said it! Just good music.I miss the 80's too!
no WOKE, no agenda, no affinity groups, no raciness, all out blood sweat and tears! I truly miss the 80's!

Do you want to ride?
Baby, let me tell you
I've been watching you
See you dancing in my dreams
Feel you heartbeat inside of me
So if you feel it coming on
Catch me getting in the mood
Boy, I'll give you anything
Cruising's all you have to do
Do you want to ride in my Mercedes boy?
Tell me what you're gonna do with me
'Cause if you want to ride in my Mercedes boy
There are so many things that I'm gonna do to you
Baby, let me tell you
I've been wanting you
Always on the scene good looks and more possessing all of me
So when it starts to coming on
Catch me getting in the mood
Oh Baby....
Boy, I'll give you anything
Cruising's all you have to do
Do you want to ride in my Mercedes boy?
Tell me what you're gonna do with me
'Cause if you want to ride in my Mercedes boy
There are so many things that I'm gonna do to you
Do you want to ride in my Mercedes boy?
Tell me what you're gonna do with me
'Cause if you want to ride in my mercedes boy
If I could reach the stars, I'd pull one down for you
Shine it on my heart, so you could see the truth
That this love I have inside, is everything it seems
But for now I find, it's only in my dreams
Do you want to ride ?
Do you want to ride in my Mercedes boy?
Tell me what you're gonna do with me
'Cause if you want to ride in my Mercedes boy
There are so many things that I'm gonna do to you
Do you want to ride in my Mercedes boy?
Tell me what you're gonna do with me
'Cause if you want to ride in my Mercedes boy
There are so many things that I'm gonna do to you
