I did too. Sadly over the years, I lost the tape or I'd have converted it over to digital. I remember them performing like 4 or songs in total. I wish i could get the whole performance again.
Both Sweetback's album are fire. It's amazing how many great artist career's were spearheaded by them, least of which, Maxwell. Great to see this after so many years!!
I got a story that must be heard About a little girl who wished she was a bird She was unhappy livin' in her ghetto cage But it gave her hope when her sweet grandma would say Rise (Limit is the skies) The skies (Don't let nobody fill your head with their lies) Nobody, fill your head with lies (Baby, you will rise) Rise (Never compromise) Compromise (Milk and honey is waitin' for you on the other side) Waitin' for you on the other side Yeah She had a burning desire to go far And she had lively hopes of reaching every star One day she'd leave this place But never forget her people's face And when she found her dreams She'd come back and proclaim Yeah (Limit is the skies) The skies (Don't let nobody fill your head with their lies) Nobody, lies (Baby, you will rise) Rise (Never compromise) Compromise (Milk and honey is waitin' for you on the other side) Waitin' Waitin' on the other side Yeah, you You will rise (Limit is the skies) Skies (Don't let nobody fill your head with their lies) Don't you let nobody, lies (Baby, you will rise) You will rise (Never compromise) Never compromise (Milk and honey is waitin' for you on the other side) Milk and honey, waitin', waitin' for you You will rise (Limit is the skies) Limit is the skies (Don't let nobody fill your head with their lies) Don't let nobody (Baby, you will rise) Fill your head with their lies (Never compromise) Never compromise (Milk and honey is waitin' for you on the other side) Na, na, na, han, han Got a burning in my heart To keep it real and do my part I got a burning in my soul To recognize where I'm from, yeah Got a burning in my heart To keep it real and do my part I got a burning in my soul (in my soul) To recognize where I'm from, yeah (To keep me real) I got a burning in my heart (I recognize where I'm from) To keep it real and do my part I got a burning in my soul (soul) To recognize where I'm from, yeah
theres not alot of videos of her singing live. but it makes me wonder can she really not sing that well? because her on studio tracks it dont sound like autotune or anything, so i wonder.
You will NOT ruin my Amel experience 😂😂 we know she’s NOT the best live but she tries. 😂 That being said.. great fit for this project and this song is without QUESTION one of the smoothest jams ever made.
Finally, thank you for posting this. I recorded this on VHS when it originally aired. This is a very rare live Sweetback performance.
I did too. Sadly over the years, I lost the tape or I'd have converted it over to digital. I remember them performing like 4 or songs in total. I wish i could get the whole performance again.
The last cord they struck at the end was reminiscent of "Is It A Crime". I love how the band reminds us of who they are that way!
Those notes he hits on the sax 🎷 in the beginning reminds me of his sax 🎷 break in "Your 💗 is King 👑"
@@dominiquedevereux7205 Paul is giving off some "Cherry Pie" vibes with that bass at 2:13, love it!
Just love her Sultry Neo Soulful voice...!
Song has always come with me
man, this band was so good.
This track and Jamiroquai’s “Blow Your Mind” are among smoothest grooves out of the 90’s imo😎👏🎤🎼
great call, Stuart Matthewman a beast on sax
Just proof that neo soul is an amazing genre of music the instruments soulful vocals untouchable
Always was a favorite song of mine! Soothing along with Amel's voice!
Banda da Sade,talentosissimos e essa bela cantora,com sua bela voz.Imagine a Sade Adu cantando

I got a story that must be heard
About a little girl who wished she was a bird
She was unhappy livin' in her ghetto cage
But it gave her hope when her sweet grandma would say
Rise
(Limit is the skies) The skies
(Don't let nobody fill your head with their lies)
Nobody, fill your head with lies
(Baby, you will rise) Rise
(Never compromise) Compromise
(Milk and honey is waitin' for you on the other side)
Waitin' for you on the other side
Yeah
She had a burning desire to go far
And she had lively hopes of reaching every star
One day she'd leave this place
But never forget her people's face
And when she found her dreams
She'd come back and proclaim
Yeah
(Limit is the skies) The skies
(Don't let nobody fill your head with their lies)
Nobody, lies
(Baby, you will rise) Rise
(Never compromise) Compromise
(Milk and honey is waitin' for you on the other side)
Waitin'
Waitin' on the other side
Yeah, you
You will rise
(Limit is the skies) Skies
(Don't let nobody fill your head with their lies)
Don't you let nobody, lies
(Baby, you will rise) You will rise
(Never compromise) Never compromise
(Milk and honey is waitin' for you on the other side)
Milk and honey, waitin', waitin' for you
You will rise
(Limit is the skies) Limit is the skies
(Don't let nobody fill your head with their lies)
Don't let nobody
(Baby, you will rise) Fill your head with their lies
(Never compromise) Never compromise
(Milk and honey is waitin' for you on the other side)
Na, na, na, han, han
Got a burning in my heart
To keep it real and do my part
I got a burning in my soul
To recognize where I'm from, yeah
Got a burning in my heart
To keep it real and do my part
I got a burning in my soul (in my soul)
To recognize where I'm from, yeah (To keep me real)
I got a burning in my heart (I recognize where I'm from)
To keep it real and do my part
I got a burning in my soul (soul)
To recognize where I'm from, yeah
Amel is my girl! Thank you for this!
Saw them live in Chicago
❤

Some maxwell vibes
She’s so studio, she’s never sounded good live
theres not alot of videos of her singing live. but it makes me wonder can she really not sing that well? because her on studio tracks it dont sound like autotune or anything, so i wonder.
She did her thing.
@@pjdp.1750 Check out "Groove Theory - Tell Me LIVE at The Apollo 1996." It may help in terms of how she sound live.
You will NOT ruin my Amel experience 😂😂 we know she’s NOT the best live but she tries. 😂
That being said.. great fit for this project and this song is without QUESTION one of the smoothest jams ever made.
u are all crazy, she sing " jazz style with variation " and some runs.
