I don't care how high they were or how goofy their dances are.. This track is fire. And the campiness of the video makes it more endearing and memorable.
Exactly! Classic FOREVER. Beat is riding... I Listen to this Every time I do serious cleaning, I dont have to look any further- my children know they better get up and join in lol!
@ Sunset*Breeze: It’s how he carried himself on stage and his strong confidence and charisma as well as dressing well. My dad was 6’4”, and he passed away in 2000 at age 57. Heart attack. How I compare him and my father is something that is hard to explain. Possibly same generation or close? Thanks for the reply sir!
Met my husband in 1988 and he introduced me to all this music.❤ He passed 3 years ago but when i listen to the music i feel his presence. RIP my love❤❤
This man has skills. Chewing gum, remembering his words through intoxication (of God knows what) and still bring them vocals. God given talent at its finest
I googled this lady name. And to my shock. Ms. Siedah Garrett wrote my favorite song that's gives me chills with emotions through my body for Michael Jackson "Man in the Mirror!" You are forever a queen with great talent. I read your story on how it came about. God is good. Thank you for writing such a masterpiece. I wish the world would listen and get it together while we still have time.
@@trinidaddy straight up facts...around that time, they was probably high found out they could sing high and dropped this track..looking like they coming from a sunday service lmao
I never noticed the nasty move from Edward at 2:33. He even looked behind the camera for that one 😅😅 Love this song!. Eric B & Rakim took this sample for "Paid in full".
Handsome as he was then ; iam sure he had no trouble getting layed Aretha Franklin say it's the best she every had!! Just the thought rest n ☮️ peace cold blooded one!!
100% it absolutely did. The Golden era of hip hop!! Real talk /reality rap, When rappers had it on lock …. None of this candy rap, flop ass rappers,with that wangsta bs!! The new era, Fake Life Shit! Horrible!
R.I.P Dennis Edwards thanks for this masterpiece of a banger, listening to this song evokes memories of my childhood.In November 2024, we still here and going nowhere because as you aptly put it, DONT LOOK ANY FURTHER ❤
Dennis Edwards was in a class all by himself..in a good way! This video has been watched and imitated by so many! A KILLER Rhythm background Best on the internet! Siedah Garrett is just so cute in this! 2024! RIPDennis
This is a masterpiece of the great Dennis Edwards....may he rest in peace! Not sure if he was high or not....doesn't matter....(many people have habits not good for them) Still listening in 2024..should be asleep, but came across this and had to have a listen......brings back memories of Dennis's other great songs.."A song for you" and Memories.. 1972 album...I may be wrong. ...Soo many memories from that year. Miss you Dennis Edwards, may you have rest and peace in heaven.💔💔💔
@@mmatthews4605 his jaw is moving like crazy before the music even starts. Maybe you weren't raised around that type of stuff, but I was. I know the signs
RIP Dennis! Not only is this one of the most iconic instrumentals ever (it's been sampled in hip-hop COUNTLESS times), this video also gave us a great meme with that first "whoooooooooa"!
My dad used to play this all the time growing up and when he passed in July my brothers and I all sat by the fire and played this song and none of us ever realized what this song was about so we all just laughed because we just remembered jamming to this song 😂 RIP dad we love and miss you tremendously
Whoever matched them up for this song is a genius. Dennis murdered EVERYTHING he sang but Siedah hitting those high notes make me stop and take notice every time. She is amazing!
Siedah is one of the great songwriters and recognizable singing voices. She worked with Michael, Quincy Jones, Dreamgirls soundtrack, helped Madonna by singing backup on her early music… I hope she received/is receiving all her props and all of her remuneration.
Siedah Garrett is a super producer, singer song writer. She wrote a lot of the song in the Dream Girls movie. She has worked and helped a lot of people be come super stars. She is amazing Dennis was once a member of the Temptations drugs messed up his life. Gone but not forgotten. R. I. P. Mr. Edwards
Arguably one of the greatest R&B tracks of all time, and was sampled to create two of the greatest HipHop tracks of all time... (Hit Em Up and Paid In Full) absolute masterpiece.
OMG!! How did Cissy do it? Only through the Grace & Strength of God!! To God be the Glory!! This blessed my soul today; today is my beloved late cousin's birthday also! Love & miss you, Naval Servicewoman Kathleen Phillips!❤❤❤❤❤RIHP
I believe that's Paul Jackson, Jr. on the bass. He's mainly known for his session guitar work (i.e. on Michael Jackson albums), but he's a killer bass player. I use to think it was Doug Wimbush or T.M. Stevens, because they were the "go to" session bass players, during this period...especially in NYC.
I caught a flight with Dennis from Heathrow to Dubai when I used to be road manager for Scherrie & Lynda's SUPREMES and we were touring once again with Dennis' Temptations Revue and James Brown. Dennis truly was a lovely, gentle man. We did other shows across Germany, Holland and other parts of the Emirates. I've got some GREAT memories of those days, frever!
Benjamin haden , this is so tongue in cheek (pun intended lol!) This song has sooo many hidden messages & it's an anthem to crack in a wink wink kind of way!! If you know, you know, which makes it all the more ironic lol!!
@@YucaConPanela she wrote it..Michael cowrote like Madonna and Britney do..power move, not creative..edited what was completed in first place.. about ego.m
I really think that this man was one of the best vocalists of all time, dont get much credit he deserves........even on the temptations days, extremely underrated
As fine as Dennis Edwards was if he had stepped, to my door, singing "Don't look any further," I sure wouldn't look any further. Strange thing is my husband reminds me a lot of Dennis, in face, stature, and being a tough protector. I'm just now recognizing their similarities. I'd like to think that God saw that heartthrob love I had, for Dennis, and matched me up with the ideal man I would be pleased with. And I couldn't have asked for a better husband, than him, and I'm thankful.
The music from this era and the 90s is all I listen to. I can't believe Dennis Edwards is gone. It shocked me when I discovered years later that this is the same Siedah Garrett who wrote Michael Jackson's "Man In The Mirror" - LEGENDS!!!
Dennis and Siedah both had so much character coming through on this video. This will forever be a classic. Everyone in my family jams when this comes on in our house.
Siedah Garrette is a renowned singer , song writer who co-wrote " Man In The Mirror" and " I Just Can't Stop Loving You " which she sang with Michael Jackson and also performed with him on Tour. She recently Co- wrote the song " Shuge Avery" for the new Color Purple musical that Fantasia sings in the movie. She has an extensive list of artist's that she has written major hits for and also sang background vocals as well. Siedah also had a album " Kiss of Life " in 1988 released by Quincy Jones and a second album in 2003 called " Siedah".
Nice & smooth classic. Rappers are still paying royalties for the sample of this song between $100,000 to $150,000. Song is over 30 years old and still bringing those royalties. Lol. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Siedah Garrett wrote this song for Dennis, as well as I just cant stop loving you and man in the mirror for Michael jackson. She is a great song writer.
At the time it wasn't. When we look back decades we say that. I am sure people in the next 10years will say that about today's tight skinny jeans Artist.
+MsFarzee No lie, I was bumpin' this loud on the way home from work. Somebody had Future playing loud at the stoplight, turned their shit down and started bobbing their head to this.
This is the definition of what artists look for in a "Hit song". A song that will long outlive the singer. This song will still be played AND sampled for decades to come. And for a Lead Singer who never officially went solo, Dennis has a bigger hit than David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks had in their solo careers.
If Dennis Edward was really high on substances; then this was a virtuoso performance. Most artist today would fall apart on less than what he was on. Talkless of giving such a powerful and accomplished performance. I still can't get my head round that 90⁰ swinging jaw at the beginning.
Looks like he had a slightly loose TMJ area. Based on what I observe from his 'moutherythms'. I just want to say that it is most likely not from being 'high". I also see evidence of this in his early/younger pictures. Suggesting that this is something unique unto him and not from being intoxicated. In spite of whatever...He remained uninhibited, productive, stunning and brilliant. I say this to say that...I always cringe when so many commentors here keep saying how "high" he was. How do they *know* that? Leave the man's dignity alone. And let him Rest In Peace
@@pureenergy5136 How do we know Dennis was high in this video? Uh, because even he admitted he used drugs back then. Siedah even said he was “amped up” during the shoot. And, lastly, because our eyes work. 🤷🏾♀️
Definitely crack. They hooked entertainers on drugs to introduce them to supreme puppethood. Doing anything for the rock = perfect employees... nobody called out the executives just shaming the victims.
Ruined the song. Thank God that negative influence aint here anymore. The amount of yohng men who are dead now because of him is shameful. But yall keep d riding
Mr. Edwards' facial expressions are beyond time and space :)
😂
Am choking with laughter
E. H. Looking all me too
@3:10 WTF he grab her arm like that??? They say it's hell of drug!!
I know right!!! 😂😂. The jaw movements, the winking of the eyes and cheesy grins. Dude was really feeling it😉

Yes; 100%🔥
I wish I had 1/100th of his stage presence, confidence and coolness. He was a man’s man, and somehow reminds me of my dad, and I’m a white dude!

Don't look any further my KING

Benjamin haden , this is so tongue in cheek (pun intended lol!) This song has sooo many hidden messages & it's an anthem to crack in a wink wink kind of way!! If you know, you know, which makes it all the more ironic lol!!
Benjamin haden ;Exactly lol!!
Boomer slang game on the sidewalk seein a potential customer: "here I am, stop where you stand" 😅😅
Cocaine is a helluva drug 🤷♂️
Siedah Garrett later wrote “Man in the Mirror” for Michael Jackson and toured with him for several years.
She doesn't get the recognition she deserves..
Michael brought me here in a way
That’s fire I was wondering if she was just lip singing
Michael Jackson Co-Write Man In The Mirror
@@YucaConPanela she wrote it..Michael cowrote like Madonna and Britney do..power move, not creative..edited what was completed in first place.. about ego.m
There is absolutely no reason this song has to go this hard. Probably the hardest song in R&B history
Real talk
Bruh foreals
Maybe roar passion...but isn't t that one of the elements that differentiates it?
"roar passion"
Is that a Swahili reference joke😏
One of the BADDEST SOUL BEATS EVER!!!! MY JAM! THE VOICE OF MR. EDWARDS IS ENOUGH FOR ME!!! SOUL SOUL AND SOUL AGAIN AND AIN'T NOTHING LIKE SOUL!!!
Say that again❤❤
I really think that this man was one of the best vocalists of all time, dont get much credit he deserves........even on the temptations days, extremely underrated
Indeed! He's the BEST singer I've ever seen. PERIOD.
As fine as Dennis Edwards was if he had stepped, to my door, singing "Don't look any further," I sure wouldn't look any further.
Strange thing is my husband reminds me a lot of Dennis, in face, stature, and being a tough protector. I'm just now recognizing their similarities. I'd like to think that God saw that heartthrob love I had, for Dennis, and matched me up with the ideal man I would be pleased with. And I couldn't have asked for a better husband, than him, and I'm thankful.
SO TRUE...I COULD NAME A FEW MORE ARTISTS WHOSE VOICES BLOW ME AWAY
The music from this era and the 90s is all I listen to. I can't believe Dennis Edwards is gone. It shocked me when I discovered years later that this is the same Siedah Garrett who wrote Michael Jackson's "Man In The Mirror" - LEGENDS!!!
Style
I never thought a 40 year old music video starring a guy coked out his head would rekindle my faith in humanity.... but it has. This is perfection. 👍🏻
Couldn’t explain it better lol
Classic music and classic musicians 🥰
😂😂😂😂 défoncé a la cocaïne

Even madonna,actually she wrote most of her songs

Dennis and Siedah both had so much character coming through on this video. This will forever be a classic. Everyone in my family jams when this comes on in our house.

It just occurred to me that I knew nothing about the woman in this video. Thanks for the info.
💙
Nice & smooth classic. Rappers are still paying royalties for the sample of this song between $100,000 to $150,000. Song is over 30 years old and still bringing those royalties. Lol. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Have those royalties been paid in full?
@@garwoc216 niiiiiice

Siedah Garrett wrote this song for Dennis, as well as I just cant stop loving you and man in the mirror for Michael jackson. She is a great song writer.
wow cool thanks for info!
She didn't write I just can't stop loving you
@@nadegedjangone3913 your right, I meant to say sang on that and others
These bums dont know
She didn't write this song. It was written by Franne Golde, Dennis Lambert and Duane Hitchings.
This Groove is Unmatched and When Rakim used it you knew it was Classic Status ‼️✌🏾❤️🔥
right so many hip hop artists have sampled this golden track.
@@musiclover-cn7tb Absolutely ✊🏿❤️
Rest In Paradise Dennis & God Speed. Temptations Forever!!!!
What a film 🎥
This video is so corny yet so magical
No real money for a video, but the song is a banger!!!
At the time it wasn't. When we look back decades we say that. I am sure people in the next 10years will say that about today's tight skinny jeans Artist.
Hilarious.
Assante Freeman - This was back during a time before debauchery and vulgarity started taking over music videos.
CORNY??? Wow
This is "Black" music...this era is gone but it is nice to visit.
+MsFarzee This still bumps so hard. Wow!! Music at it's finest
not gone will come back is our dna
+MsFarzee You are absolutely right! this era is GONE! Its all trash now...
+MsFarzee No lie, I was bumpin' this loud on the way home from work. Somebody had Future playing loud at the stoplight, turned their shit down and started bobbing their head to this.
+MsFarzee , the gr8 thing about it is we can keep listening to these timeless classics over & over again
The fact that Pac used this for hit em up is diabolical
That 80's ❄️ aint no joke
Going straight to the 80’s soon as I get my hands on a time traveling machine 😂
I came here to see who picked up on that locked jaw 🤣 ❄️
😂😂😂😂😂
@@qubie83😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
dude was struggling with it. lol
R.I.P You were one of the best whoever did it bro!
This is the definition of what artists look for in a "Hit song". A song that will long outlive the singer. This song will still be played AND sampled for decades to come. And for a Lead Singer who never officially went solo, Dennis has a bigger hit than David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks had in their solo careers.
So true
Nope, Keep on Truckin hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
@@parlifunk1😂😂😂🤣
Classic
Yet he wasn't half as good as Ruffin
Dennis had to catch Siedah around the 2:42-2:43 mark. She lost her balance a bit. He was a real one for that, high and all.😂❤
Some of the world’s greatest hits were made while under the influence of something believe that !!! ❤️
Comedians, musicians, painters, philosophers, writers, etc, the best inspiration has always come from using substances to tap into the universe.
95 percent of P-Funk stuff too
So was Calculus
Agreed
@@AB-si4bg As a math and music freak, you have me cracking out😆 🤣 😂
Dennis EDWARDS was a BIG MAN with a Bigger Voice...WILL always be REMEMBERED AS MR.TEMPTATION..RIP
Their chemistry was dead perfect!Will always be one of my all time favorite jams!
Sexey
I implore you to be on that much coke, and not have chemistry like that with the nearest tree stump....
Wait....I'm not sure that came out right...
@@jordaneggerman4734 stg I was thinking this lol
Their synergy is something else. Captivating. I have to believe that the universe getting them together got it right this time.
Tottaly Agree!
⚘Siedah Garrett looked so good 😍 in this video. Classic 80s!
If Dennis Edward was really high on substances; then this was a virtuoso performance. Most artist today would fall apart on less than what he was on. Talkless of giving such a powerful and accomplished performance.
I still can't get my head round that 90⁰ swinging jaw at the beginning.
Looks like he had a slightly loose TMJ area. Based on what I observe from his 'moutherythms'.
I just want to say that it is most likely not from being 'high". I also see evidence of this in his early/younger pictures. Suggesting that this is something unique unto him and not from being intoxicated.
In spite of whatever...He remained uninhibited, productive, stunning and brilliant.
I say this to say that...I always cringe when so many commentors here keep saying how "high" he was. How do they *know* that? Leave the man's dignity alone. And let him Rest In Peace
This is just a backing track, he's miming
@@pureenergy5136I'll tell you how people say that....cuz if you do or done drugs- you can spot a fellow user a mile away
That’s because it was pure booger sugar… not the stepped on stuff today
@@pureenergy5136 How do we know Dennis was high in this video? Uh, because even he admitted he used drugs back then. Siedah even said he was “amped up” during the shoot. And, lastly, because our eyes work. 🤷🏾♀️
That cheeky wink at the beginning though!!! 😩😂 ...This video is pure gold GOLD ion care!! 💛🙌🏾
PURE!!!!
Definitely…
Yeah comedy gold 😂😂😂 still a classic ass song though 💯🔥🔥🔥
They use to get it in 😂😂
That wink was awesome ❤️🔥
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude chewed bubble gum, danced, sang & got felt up at one time & stayed on beat 😂😂😂😂😂 R.I.P
That's not gum he's chewing. He's got coke jaw. o_O
🤣
wasn't bubble gum
Definitely crack. They hooked entertainers on drugs to introduce them to supreme puppethood. Doing anything for the rock = perfect employees... nobody called out the executives just shaming the victims.
go away , it's amazing
So many rappers sampled this bassline... I hope whoever wrote it got paid in full.
And also not hit them up 🤣😂🤣
"Call the cops when you see Tupac" No wonder 90's rap/ hip-hop was so good sampling songs like this!
Ruined the song. Thank God that negative influence aint here anymore. The amount of yohng men who are dead now because of him is shameful. But yall keep d riding
@@KorpusV6 you're literally wearing a balli in your pp and wanna talk about bad influence? 🤡
