A Timeless Classic. That Sax, Bassline and Female Vocals A Killer!! The Year Was the Spring Of 1985. I was The Program Director For WMXY in Georgia at that time and this song wasn't even a single yet. But I had this cut in Heavy rotation from the album, that just how Big & Great of Song It was (Choose me or Lose Me)...
IT'S NEW Years Eve 2023, heard this on the radio for the first time. I was like, this has to be "Loose Ends" so I went to Google "Come Rescue Me" is the name of the song and the group is " LOOSE ENDS" HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Back in the 80’s my uncle had a sport shop in Adams Morgan which is located in the Washington DC. My uncle, me and my best friend use to hang-out in the store when it was closed and pump Loose Ends, especially in the summer. Damnnnnn I miss those days. R.I.P Bernard Venson & Troy Hampton🙏🏾
This song was always played on New York 's best R&B station WBLS when I was in high school. I use to listen to it after school while during homework 📚... Brings back a lot of memories...
I feel you, Pam. This song brings back a specific memory of the summer after high school graduation, right before I left for the army, sitting in my car in Jersey with this girl I'd been trying to get close to for the longest time... listening to "BLS" and this song comes on. The rest is history. She's no longer with us, but I'll never forget.
We are all related in a hood way...this music confounded us from east to west....this jam seems different played in the a.m hours like 3 or 4...takes us to that special place
Beautiful.. Listening too this as a young kid Wow.. I'm 47 now . And I'm still In love with 70s n 80s music.. And at times it makes me cry.. What happen too those days ??? It is so deeply missed...
Fantastic! Even in 2022 this track will slay! There is no comparison. The sax and female vocal is to die for. Loose Joints was and is the ultimate! Mad respect to the UK. They know music!
OMG! 1984 and still ain’t no group in 2020 to rival Loose Ends This sounds just as fresh as it did back in 1984 and will bring out the best in any dancer. Just Sublime!
@@Musicfiend4ever before I knew who it was I thought they were the loose ends with a new lead singer, after Jane left the group, but it's Angie Stone singing lead...
Not really an ultimatum. Actually, it's "Choose me baby, don't loose me", opposed to, "or loose me". But I hear you on that paradise island vision. Loose Ends one of my all time fav R&B groups to this day.
Man I heard this song the other day at work with a smile on my face. Haven't heard this song since it was put out. Yes Kiss FM and Wbls play this to no end.
Your love's inside of meeeeeeee. Come and rescue me. OMG!!! I love this song with all my soul. The 80s were the SHIT!!! Thumbs up if you were privileged to experience it;-)
Bentleys Was The Club To Be At Back In The 80's In New York When this song was banging.. Mike Tyson..Knicks Players...Everyone who wanted to be seen was at BENTLEYS
Rinsed this hard at the youth club...I was around 10 years old and used to slip into the senior group where my ear was tuned very quickly to quality music. Big up the UK soul scene for this unique British soul.
Thank Philly producer Nick Martinelli for the smooth groove of this ,and a number of their other great songs. A perfect melding of talented performers and excellent production..
I believe this song hit New York radio in 1985 even though it was produced earlier. I think Loose Ends "A Little Spice" album came out in 1984 but hit the states in 1985 and on New York radio as well. and i fell in love with group ever since,i became a total fan. I bought thier "cassettes" everytime they came out with another album and i had thier albums too LOL! those were the days....
Don't know why certain memories just stay with you. I'll never forget that day, freshman year in high school was coming to an end - final week, maybe. That girl, a graduating senior, in the student lounge singing this song spot on. I never heard it. I wasn't cool yet. Later that night it came on the radio. I sat in my room alone. I smiled... I knew then I loved my high school and that those years would be memorable. It's just icing on the cake that Loose Ends were the music playing in the background of many of my fondest high school memories. "There's no doubt in my mind that all good things will come in time"... Everyone wants to be rescued.
in 1984 I sleeped all night long with FM radio ON .....suddenly this track start to play and mixed with my dreams..... owww i´m not crazy, but i can say a thing: really good tracks move our soul, this is so much spiritual for me. SUPERB TRACK !
i was born in 1976 im 39 now when this came out i was around 7 or 8 when this came out i glade to be a 70s baby and a 80s kids i was bless in the right generation to experience this
The sax intro introduced and made me fall in love with contemporary jazz. Growing up in the south Bronx the lyrics resonated with me. Deep song, makes me cry.
I remember keeping a tape in the stereo to record this off the radio 98.7 kiss fm in about `84. I just played it all the time cuz it felt good. happy times. where has musicianship gone?
As A Young Man In My Early Twenty's My First Studio Apartment, Lady Friends Coming Over, Wine, Food And Fun. This Song Playing In The Background. Some Of My Fondest Memories.
Im sitting with my son and he brings up Loose Ends...he's 21 so I say chile they were the **** BACK IN THE DAY...this IS my FAVORITE song by them...CLASSIC..still LOVE them...they should do a reunion!!!!!!!
Choose Me (Rescue Me)....awesome song..." when I'm laying in the gutter/when I'm down and out" I have the most positive memories with Loose Ends! My little 4 year old loves their music too! We are grooming her to have an eclectic ear for the music she enjoys!
They don't make them like this no more....... Classic 80's music...... It's just a fact!! Ask yourself in 2016 there are NO bands or Groups anymore...80 percent of these "singers" today are entertainers using music as a come up.
oh please. I like loose ends but they didn't even produce their own hits. Nick martenelli produced most of their top songs. Mint condition does their own stuff so try again
HOW ON EARTH CAN ANY1 WITH WORKING EARS & HALF A BRAIN DISLIKE THIS SONG!!!??? Utter Lunacy!!! One of my favz from 1 of the all time classic, & superb groups in history. MAN i miss the 80z!!! Summer of '85 the airwaves wuz bangin' !!
Grew up on this Jam. Respect to WEDR 99 Jamz Miami. Kept me on the loop back in the early 80's. Loose Ends is a Classic example of what Beautiful Music should be. One of my All Time Favorite Groups. Yessuh. ;) LOL
Love Loose Ends...The British Soul Invasion was an awesome time for Black R&B Artist during this era. They were great artist indeed. Much love for their musical contributions that alot of us enjoy even til this day.
This was in my head today im 45...i quit smoking two days ago and even through my withdrawal...i humming tunes from my younger dayz...the humming brought me here..this is the tune!!!

The best soul studio band to come out London England of that era . Finally, this song was made almost 40 years ago still sound great! M

And at times it makes me cry..
What happen too those days ???
It is so deeply missed...
Same here 48 this brings me back to summer nights in the Bronx.
.British neo-soul at its best!!❤❤
My childhood memories roosevelt strong island
One of the best music groups of the 80’s. The songs were fire! This is one of my favorite!
this song has that rare combo of being chill and funky at the same time...a great hook!
Exactly Playa 💯
You know!
The UK's finest!!! I miss you Loose Ends
Absolutely 💯
The 80s was my generation. No selling sex on the bodies. Just music you can listen to. I graduated from high school in 1985. Great R&B masterpiece.
I graduated that same year.. We know what that era of music gives. It was all good!
I graduated in 86 but it took me ALOT LONGER to appreciate some good jazz, funk, blues, reggae in addition to the good old standby classic rock.
I graduated in 86 and I've been rocking with Loose Ends since their first album in 83
Our era was one of the most diverse era of music sooo many different genres like this song that symbolize the time of our youth. Peace
@@rilfann1I can't get enough of loose ends!!!
"Choose me, baby, don't lose me." Smooth.
This track is cold😬
One of the best 80s tracks ever.
Yes Sir
"Choose Me" was one of my highway cruising songs.
0:44 When the violins come in. Heavenly! My favorite Loose Ends song. Fabulous instrumentation. Jane Eugene owned this song. Gorgeous vocals ❤
That's what God said
Sexy sax intro,props to Londons' Black Artists.This is my favorite jam by Loose Ends.
I'll ALWAYS LOVE LOOSE ENDS
Check out hanging on a string by Loose Ends that's another showstopper by them
Courtney Pine on the sax I believe
Fantastic! Even in 2022 this track will slay! There is no comparison. The sax and female vocal is to die for.
Loose Joints was and is the ultimate! Mad respect to the UK. They know music!
I hate to say it but Music will never be this good again
A Loose Ends classic!
Loose Ends by far in my own opinion is one of the best groups to ever record music. From Super Sha "L"
OMG! 1984 and still ain’t no group in 2020 to rival Loose Ends This sounds just as fresh as it did back in 1984 and will bring out the best in any dancer. Just Sublime!
You should check out"Vertical Hold" seems your too busy 😂 me I call them the American loose ends they have a similar groove
@@outlanddarrell872
Thanks for the tip. I will most definitely check them out.
@@Musicfiend4ever before I knew who it was I thought they were the loose ends with a new lead singer, after Jane left the group, but it's Angie Stone singing lead...
this and Sade!❤
@@smirnadeoleo4708
Absolutely agree!
Carla Linton I remember this song when I was 9 Years old and like it then. And I still like it now.
loose ends was very underrated they made some good hits back in the day
very underrated
💯💯💯
Loose ends thank you for your great music love ya
Fred Early FACTS!
ALL THAT TALENT ...
This group was ahead of it's time. Masterpieces.
Yes, You said it! Truth!
From the first time I heard it ...
Yes it was
✅✅✅
💯 % FACTS it's too bad they won't reunite because they're greatness was their trio!!!
Although this song is about an ultimatum, it takes you an island paradise at night with a warm ocean breeze.
Not really an ultimatum. Actually, it's "Choose me baby, don't loose me", opposed to, "or loose me". But I hear you on that paradise island vision. Loose Ends one of my all time fav R&B groups to this day.
I was at my cousin Doris house when I feel in love with this song Iam almost 60 an still love it
Which is exactly where I am listening to it right now 🏝️ SXM2024 😉
This brings back memories of growing up in the 80's here in Jamaica NY😊
Pam Sanford Parsons Archer station. Lol
The Crack Era Supreme Team
word bond!
Deadass I'm from long island sounds like the Ave
OH HELLS YAH!
I wasn’t even born yet when this song was released (1998) but I’m in love with music from this generation.👌🏾
Man I heard this song the other day at work with a smile on my face. Haven't heard this song since it was put out. Yes Kiss FM and Wbls play this to no end.
Your love's inside of meeeeeeee. Come and rescue me. OMG!!! I love this song with all my soul. The 80s were the SHIT!!! Thumbs up if you were privileged to experience it;-)
I was real young back then but I was there and remember this song clearly
Bentleys Was The Club To Be At Back In The 80's In New York
When this song was banging..
Mike Tyson..Knicks Players...Everyone who wanted to be seen was at BENTLEYS

The 1980s... for Black People in the UK.... was like 1960s in USA.... creative musician explosion... and Loose Ends...the best UK Soul had....
I like that analogy
Fully agree. 80s black music was in such a high standing that I can't even put properly in words and Loose Ends sure was on the vanguard.
I believe this song hit New York radio in 1985 even though it was produced earlier. I think Loose Ends "A Little Spice" album came out in 1984 but hit the states in 1985 and on New York radio as well. and i fell in love with group ever since,i became a total fan. I bought thier "cassettes" everytime they came out with another album and i had thier albums too LOL! those were the days....
One of the best bands ever
Who’s back in 2024??!!!
Carla Linton. Me
For Sure
@@CarlaLinton-pj5jn Hi me too, my name is also Carla...lol 😊😅❤ Gratefully, Carla
Here , Here !!!!🙋🏽♂️

I read that story months ago I would have told my girl and we both said that's a deep story
this song is a true love song 4 someone special.
AClarionCallMinistry
That's 100% and I couldn't have put it better myself...
in 1984 I sleeped all night long with FM radio ON .....suddenly this track start to play and mixed with my dreams..... owww i´m not crazy, but i can say a thing: really good tracks move our soul, this is so much spiritual for me. SUPERB TRACK !
Love this group growing up. They deserve more props for being from LONDON and shaping blk radio
Man this was the best group to come out of the UK...this album and Zagora were friggin monsters..
One of their best ever, really lifts the spirit.
Whenever i hear this song, it makes me think about being on a cruise ship, and the sun setting.

me to bro
James Jones Word up man I was born in ‘78 and feel the same way! All their albums were the background music to my childhood!
This group was heavily played in DC when I was growing up. We always gravitated to the British Soul sounds. I love this song. It sounds timeless.
The sax intro introduced and made me fall in love with contemporary jazz. Growing up in the south Bronx the lyrics resonated with me. Deep song, makes me cry.
Facts I just said this song still makes me cry!!!❤
Back in the day, when singers were actually talented and didn't sell their bodies to gain attention and fame.
Factz.
That's so true
10 years later, and I couldn't have said it better myself...
Need a reunion of the original 3, no bullshit, and the 80's was the shit
My high school daze back in the fall of 1983 in N.Y.C. wearing Cazals and YSL's and running with L.L. Cool J.... Miss the 1980's....
Man...just the thought of that era brings a tear to my eye. Those were the days.
U know LL cool j
I remember keeping a tape in the stereo to record this off the radio 98.7 kiss fm in about `84. I just played it all the time cuz it felt good. happy times. where has musicianship gone?

They don't make them like this no more....... Classic 80's music...... It's just a fact!! Ask yourself in 2016 there are NO bands or Groups anymore...80 percent of these "singers" today are entertainers using music as a come up.
mint condition is still doing it
Mint condition is 90's based, and didn't have has many bangers as Lose Ends.
kenyoda skywalker they have plenty of bangers and are still in the game
+zava34 in comparison to Lose Ends?... No...

Nothin' Like 80's Music!!! ..Music Now...Will NEVER Compare!!..Maybe I'm Showin' My Age!!!... Is 48 Old?!!...LOL!!..SMOOTH!!!

I love UK music...Peace and love from the USA baby.

Love Loose Ends...The British Soul Invasion was an awesome time for Black R&B Artist during this era. They were great artist indeed. Much love for their musical contributions that alot of us enjoy even til this day.
I love this jam! Its jazzy & smoothe.
Great songs like this from the mid-80's can't be beat by today's lack of standards in
creativity.
OMG!!!!!! This is my jam from Loose Ends.England's finest
Classic! I was 14 yrs old. So much memories. Our music was the best hands down.
