Boy George is probably the most under appreciated singer from the 80s, and he was masterful in front of the camera in all his videos with his dance moves, eye contact and hand movements. This track is arguably one of their finest - just a perfect storm of George's vocals, the motown infused sound, harmonica intro, Helen Terry's amazing backing voice, and a video that is pure art - such an uplifting song from a group that was ahead of its time.
I understand what you mean by him being underappreciated but still he became extremely famous and lasted the test of time. Boy George is now legendary status.
I think his SINGING OVERSHADOWED his appearance. Where I was (Seattle), once he opened his mouth to sing, his appearance became a "non-issue", it didn't matter anymore.
Yes, very handsome - and it's amazing that he was able to take on this gender-bending look in such a powerful way at a time when there was still a lot of violence and mistrust against gay people in England, and when AIDS was steamrolling through the news.
Helen Terry had an Aretha Franklin voice. She was so good. If you listen to "Black Money", you will understand my reference. Rest in peace, Miss Aretha Franklin!
Respect to George for giving the amazing Helen Terry her fair share of time in the spotlight and credit for her considerable contribution to many of the band's hits in official videos and stage performances. The two harmonised very nicely together and he clearly genuinely appreciated her as a great artist in her own right.
I just listened to this video side by side with a current tour performance (7-28-23), it's AMAZING the difference Helen makes! The song sounds so much BETTER with her on it!🎶🎶
Never understood why she was never officially part of the band. Helen's voice popped up in enough Culture Club songs, she was pretty present in videos and appearances and her singing was (sorry Boy George fans) more soulful.
Dave B Boy George was doubly blessed. A world class set of vocal chords paired with a bit of genius for songwriting. One of the most gifted talents I can think of.
Eugene Ward,Jr. you wont believe this but i just finished watching an eposide of the a-team and boy george and culture club starred on it. george also had ryathm. he did nice simple dance moves but you could tell he had rythem. you could tell that george and george micheals definitly hung around a lot of blacks. george was a great writter.
+Ruben Delgadillo Yep. They were wizards combining American R & B, Reggae, and Punk Rock & New Wave. I'd like to see Janet Jackson, New Edition, Chic, and even Olivia Newton John who has never been Nominated.
Ringo never had the same status that the other Three did. He hardly wrote or Sang, and he didn't create the first Benefit Concert. To many people he was just the guy who was in the right place at the right time. There are so many folks who have yet to be Inducted like Chic. To many they were just a Disco Group but they did so much. They were Songwriters, Producers, and they allowed their Music to be used for the First Rap Record.
They were huge back in the day but their legacy is dismissed out of hand. They were highly original with deep undertones. They were one of the few bands who defined that era- as short lived as it was. I was in my senior year in high school when they broke out. And they caused quite a sensation. They deserve a better spot in pop music history.
@@danityvanityinsanityThere is a film about Culture Club (ok, mainly about Boy) called Worried About The Boy made for BBC TV. It's not that great but it's better than nothing. It's probably somewhere on RUclips. Apparently they were working on a new one in early 2020 but we all know what happened in 2020, and I haven't heard anything about it since then, so I don't know if that's still happening, but don't hold your breath.
Low budget music videos, awesome choreographed dancing, harmonicas, saxophones, violins, synthesizers and harmonizing soothing God gifted vocals . 80's music is the greatest era of music in my 50 year old lifetime . Does anyone else agree?
It’s too bad that Boy George had to start using drugs. That certainly limited the shelf life of Culture Club’s career. If he had stayed clean I’m sure the hits would have kept on coming.
I hear ya….we didn’t realize how good the music was @ that time because it was just expected…So many great bands, so much diversity. I’m the kinda person who can listen to Culture Club one minute and the next pop on Slayer for example. Seems like no one even plays instruments today..? Just curious what year u were born so I have an idea what you grew up with. I’m born 75.
Music isn’t quite as good as it was in the’70’s-90’s eras that’s for sure!! If you live in Ontario Canada thank god for the station boom radio from Toronto!! Even if you aren’t you can still listen through those radio players. Definitely worth checking out!!
My Nan was a real old school Irish Catholic woman, we had to go to church every Sunday as kids I loved it when this song came out on the radio , she’d turn it down though! 😂 If she could hear todays music 💀😂
Culture Club is a hall of fame band.They need a biopic movie like queen.They will have a new legion of fans that love them as much as i do.Phenomenal band.
It wasn't a studio film like Bohemian Rhapsody, but they had a television movie, Worried About the Boy, that was made maybe a decade ago. Still one of my favorite bio pics and the first movie I downloaded way back then (feels like ancient times now).
Believe me I have dozens of C.C. records, but in truth they only had one exceptional album (C.B.N) and one good album (K.T.B.C). However I feel Don't mind if I do was very underrated and their third best although George didn't feel it was very good. Less than perfect really is perfect!
Sylvan De La Cruz: Very true about Boy George being ahead of his time. I remember one day I said to my mother how meaningful I realized the song "Karma Chameleon," was/is, because, as a younger person, I only liked it because it was a catchy tune. But then as I got older and listened to the lyrics I learned the true depth of the song's message. My mother said to me, "Didn't you realize that, from the beginning?"
Culture club and boy George put out hits. Way before their time. They don't get the credit they deserve. I still rock these songs in 2022. I remember watching MTV. Background in the day. Love the videos. Sure miss those days 😁
Saw Culture Club September 11, 1983 at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO. My daughter was 11 at the time and I was without a vehicle at that time. Taxi cab picked us up at home at 7 AM and off we went. Doors didn't open til noon, so we waited all that time. BUT we got front row seats and the show was the B O M B! I loved Culture Club and still do!!!
I saw Boy George on his first tour...Tower Theatre...Philadelphia...very front row...Philadelphia is an extremely tough rock and roll city...they will boo you off stage in a. New York City minute..in 1982 he was so controversial...so was Bowie in 1972 in Philadelphia...he rocked it out of the park
Philadelphia always and forever will greet new bands with an open mind..In 1967...Hendrix played on Sampson Street in Philadelphia..right below the park...he kicked the shit out of it..Philadelphia always loved " left of center bands"
@@robertsears3737 Philly sounds like a great "music city"! I remember Culture Club (George) was a hit here too, in the 80's! Hendrix was also an early HIT here, I remember my neighbor, who was still in grade school in 1965 (as I was), got a Hendrix album and was absolutely thrilled. (In Seattle Jimi Hendrix was also our "homeboy".)
"Love is hard to find in the church of the poisoned mind" . I was just listening to this song and suddenly realized that one line is so true especially right now when there is so much hate for others who are different from the rest.
Love the 80s...Do any of you remember when (in the days of MTV--before Internet) we used to have to stay up late to see the world premier of videos like this!?! Those were magical times.... ;)
OMG YES....... the 70's and 80's were ELECTRIC MAGIC.... clubs on every block blasting dance music... you'd dance your ass off in one club... then walk to the next club and cool off between clubs.... now you're lucky if you ever SEE a club unless you're in new york, paris, LA or vegas...and even those are NOTHING like they were in the 80's......
I live forever in the 1980s! I was shopping recently--and I swear the new clothes look like they are bringing back the 80s style! LOL! What is old is new again! And this music still can be heard in shopping malls!
Nearly 40 years later this easy going popper still kicks. Helen Terry and the guitar fills on beats 2 and 4 make the song roll right along. Wake up and smell the coffee: it's still the Eighties!
I adored him when I was a kid! His beautiful voice, face and personality! I loved it when he was a guest on the A-Team. This was one talented band. COMPLETELY UNIQUE.
@Dominique I was the same, I wanted to marry him, but my mum told me I wasn't his type, I assumed she meant he was too old, but I'd still marry him, he was my late grans favourite artist and when karma Chameleon came on we'd get up and dance, that's one of my fondest memories of my gran .

I was definitely born in the wrong era! I'm 20 and love all the older music, Culture Club is one of my favourite bands, I've has privilege of seeing them live and meeting them multiple times now, they're all really sweet, especially Mikey! Songs like this bring me so much joy! Oh, to have been alive back then!
My son, born in the 2000's, says the exact same thing all the time. He wishes that he was born in the late 70's/early 80's. He constantly plays his guitar to all of the 80's music, loves The Cure...

What a contagious fun upbeat song!! Contagious in a good way!! You could hear this song over and over and never get sick of it!! Loved it then and will always will!!
For me, this song is the absolute masterpiece of culture club and the video is sweet. The duet of Boy George and the lady with the short hair is sensational, their voices are complementing each other so well. Beside that, Boy George is so pretty (actually beautiful with sparkling eyes etc) and flirtatious. No wonder that both men and women fell for him. What artists! Where are such of this kind nowadays?
I always felt that Boy George’s controversial image distracted most from the fact that they made extremely well crafted blue eyed soul. Helen Terry hits all the right notes here.
Seeing things now, I'm convinced he was a head of his time and courageous! His image should should distract anyone from his artistic genius. I mean I grew up in the deep south and deep in church but I thought both he and his music were beautiful and transcendant. I mean look at that face! Such a sweet young boy!
I agree. That voice! That delivery! That Boy could sing. I don't think he realized or appreciated it at that time. Seems like he was more into the look than the music at that time. Things have changed with maturity.
Loved when George brought Helen Terry into the mix as their back up singer for a bit. She had a kick a$$ voice and not only did it compliment George’s vocals, it also gave Culture Club a new edge to their songs.
I was 12 when this came out,as I sat and watched this I was thinking about how much are world has changed since than. We grew up in a great era I wouldn't trade that time for anything in the world
Ah, people my age that truly understand how great the 80s were, and still are. May the 80s live forever. A decade of fun and celebration. Wish I could go back in time.
BG stood out from the crowd for his fantastic vocals, great grooves, originality, and unapologetic gayness at a time when that would subject him to endless hate and ridicule. He's a true brave pioneer.
These blokes were quite really ahead of their time with their dubious sexuality and not making a big fuss about it like today's freaks. Miss the 80s so much.
Absolutely agree no one cared about a person's preference then. Now everyone has a cause or hang up it's gone beyond stupid. Back then creativity was celebrated and we all had fun.
Im glad he was able to get his life and career back on track. Im hoping hes been able to keep it that way. It sucks to see someone who brings so much happiness to so many people literally living in hell. Even if this isnt your chosen genre of music you must be able to appreciate the pure talent that so many famous musicians couldnt come close to like he can. The group was so unique in its style i dont know of anyone that could pull that off again
Man! when I say we had some of the best music! Singers, bands and the orchestra were unbelievable! It will never be another time like the time of the 80s.
I was 10 when Culture Club came out but you can always recall George was a one off and wrote great songs. When i watched him on the Voice you came to appreciate that he has the smarts too. I saw CC in Dublin last night supported by Heaven 17 and Tony hadley....One of the best shows ever. Firstly singers from the 1980s could sing and made timeless music. George has such soul in his voice ..And it was one of the best shows id see for another reason. George has such clarity to his voice that you can understand the lyrics if you didnt know the song. The show was enhanced by the band the great production and wonderful backing singers too
"I had to fight to make this mine", and "just move your feet and you'll feel fine" are my 2 fav lyrics of this song, and love his eyebrows in this video. He makes me happy. At least this song and video does.
Say what you want about George but the man can write some bops
Above average boxer as well...
Yes, I heard that.😮❤@@vincentbaca790
yes he could!
the whole band wrote it
He certainly could hold a note :)
Voice of the women backup singer really gives this song some funky groove
Reminds me of Erasure
??????@@qwertytheone?????
@@qwertytheoneerasure?? what exactly? his voice definitely not the music
helen terry
@@thecapricorn11terry helen actually.
Probably my favorite song from this band. I'd honestly rather listen to Boy George than a lot of what's on the radio these days.
That’s a massive understatement.
Me too
Agreed!
Defintiely one of their top 3 if not #1 for me.
Their best song by far
Can we rewind time to go back to the 80's? Asking for a generation.
I would love to go back to the '80s...
back when transgenders were boy george lol
@teknowil It was gender bending back in the day. George was just sexy, period.
F man if I wasn't so old I'd take physics to build my own time machine.
You're all invited.
@@caterinialawrence4989Culture Club
Does everyone else seem to feel really happy when they hear this song? I love it!
Yes!

Yes ! Always an instant happy feeling !

@@lyricberlin but he doesn't get the same recognition and respect as other top musicians from the 1980s and he should!
I understand what you mean by him being underappreciated but still he became extremely famous and lasted the test of time. Boy George is now legendary status.
His voice was always just beautiful 👍
I appreciated him so much!
I feel sorry for people who aren't old enough to remember amazing songs like this.
and i'm 14
Oh shoot! I was in high school!!
Great statement!!! I couldn't agree more.
Good thing they can see it here.
@cne08 so do I! That's some good music🎶 🎶the kind that never gets old!☺

映像は観る事が出来なかった。

感激です。素晴らしい！
He’s style was so outrageous it over shadowed how powerful his songwriting was. Truly an man ahead of his time. These lyrics are profound.
Agreed and second only to Ken Boothe.
It's about his 'secret' affair with Jon Moss
No he didn't
I think his SINGING OVERSHADOWED his appearance. Where I was (Seattle), once he opened his mouth to sing, his appearance became a "non-issue", it didn't matter anymore.
@@GARose-kt4jc 1000% If anything his style was/is a bonus.
I love Culture Club. Boy George was so beautiful and handsome at the same time!
Yes, very handsome - and it's amazing that he was able to take on this gender-bending look in such a powerful way at a time when there was still a lot of violence and mistrust against gay people in England, and when AIDS was steamrolling through the news.
Im 71 yrs old and I love their music!
That backing vocalist is freaking Amazing
Helen Terry.
Helen Terry had an Aretha Franklin voice. She was so good. If you listen to "Black Money", you will understand my reference. Rest in peace, Miss Aretha Franklin!
Yes 👍
Actually, listening to the album again, Helen Terry's voice can be annoying a lot of the time.
La gran Helen Terry
Respect to George for giving the amazing Helen Terry her fair share of time in the spotlight and credit for her considerable contribution to many of the band's hits in official videos and stage performances. The two harmonised very nicely together and he clearly genuinely appreciated her as a great artist in her own right.
Oh my gosh Helen Terry was great surprised anyone remembers. She was WOW😂
@@SandraNasrollah, a truly amazing voice. I love Helen's vocals, particularly on "Church Of The Poison Mind" and "Victims" :)
I just listened to this video side by side with a current tour performance (7-28-23), it's AMAZING the difference Helen makes!
The song sounds so much BETTER with her on it!🎶🎶
She's a banshee....... can't here a word said nor make sense of this ridiculous track......
I loved and love this man and igrew up sooooto dance and sing w Boy and his coool Band❤❤
Just two words.... HELEN TERRY!!! Her vocals were on point
Wow! Didn't know her name. Thanks. She's incredible!!
She’s cute too
We had the best in the 80s.
Yes we did!!!! Love this song 🎵

Never understood why she was never officially part of the band. Helen's voice popped up in enough Culture Club songs, she was pretty present in videos and appearances and her singing was (sorry Boy George fans) more soulful.
+Megared82 She didn't want to be a permanent member of the band!
Probably because she hated Jon...
Club 1 Fan
All of Boy George's music is still going strong nearly 50 years later. That's how good it was and is! 🎉❤️
40 years later
Boy george voice was a fine tuned instrument back then but not today
@PhilipGarcia-b8h Yes that's why I said Was
I know Culture Club is iconic but I still don't think Boy George is appreciated for the true artist he is. These are deep songs man.
Dave B ive said that for yrs. george never got recognition for writing some of the best songs period.
Dave B Boy George was doubly blessed. A world class set of vocal chords paired with a bit of genius for songwriting. One of the most gifted talents I can think of.

Do you know him ?

Culture Club deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Music Hall of Fame!
+Ruben Delgadillo Yep. They were wizards combining American R & B, Reggae, and Punk Rock & New Wave. I'd like to see Janet Jackson, New Edition, Chic, and even Olivia Newton John who has never been Nominated.
+laminage You're right I'm beginning to lose respect for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
+Ruben Delgadillo Yah, 'cause nothing says "Rock and Roll" quite like Culture Club... O.o
+Ruben Delgadillo The fact that Ringo was inducted at the same time than Green Day tells you something about the current state of the Hall of Fame.

This is a masterpiece. Culture Club should be appreciated for their fantastic songs first and foremost!
I wasn't a big fan of Culture Club, but I am a native Detroiter and this tube practically has "Motown" written all over it. I dig it, it's bad-ass.
Yep, the groove is clearly inspired by Stevie Wonder. Such a joyful track, and a fun video!
Boy George is one of the greatest lyricists but will never get the credit.
I agree!
Low budget music videos, awesome choreographed dancing, harmonicas, saxophones, violins, synthesizers and harmonizing soothing God gifted vocals .
80's music is the greatest era of music in my 50 year old lifetime .
Does anyone else agree?
Actually, this song has Motown written all over it.
Just try to find someone in todays music world with a voice like Boy Geroge....dont bother, you can't. He is one of a kind.
Yep
Agree, though they also had two outstanding backing singers in Helen Terry (very audible here) and Jermaine Stewart
The way George speaks with his eyes is so magical yet so effortlessly done.
He is a Natural. Heart and Soul for sure.
Incredible. This guy is a natural.
It’s too bad that Boy George had to start using drugs. That certainly limited the shelf life of Culture Club’s career. If he had stayed clean I’m sure the hits would have kept on coming.

I put Boy George and Freddie Mercury on that level so far ahead of there time. I might even include bowie

My children in 2024: dad, can we go to the 80s please!
🔥🔥🔥 Helen Terry’s vocals on this is insane♥️♥️♥️
l like jordan😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😘😘😘👩❤️💋👨👩❤️💋👨👩❤️💋👨
I was definitely born in the wrong era! I'm 20 and love all the older music, Culture Club is one of my favourite bands, I've has privilege of seeing them live and meeting them multiple times now, they're all really sweet, especially Mikey! Songs like this bring me so much joy! Oh, to have been alive back then!
My son, born in the 2000's, says the exact same thing all the time. He wishes that he was born in the late 70's/early 80's. He constantly plays his guitar to all of the 80's music, loves The Cure...
I had all their albums you’re lucky that you get to meet them and you’re 20 I didn’t get to meet him The 80s were the best keep rocking those 80s
Same. Old musicians and their creations are precious than diamonds.
Wow you’re younger than me and you met them first? Lol
@@TisEYEthe1 You raised him right! 😁
The 1980's. A time of GREAT MUSIC and MEMORABLE SONGS!
Glad to have enjoyed this decade. Thank you, Culture Club, for defining our age!
The woman doing the backing vocals has an amazing voice!! Love this song
It is my uttermost pleasure seeing your amazing and pleasant comment on my movie channel. 😍This really brought great joy to my heart, remain blessed. I know you will be shock Seeing my mail, that to show you how grateful I’m. feel free to contact me anytime..
@@boygeorge896 ♥️ you!!
Helen Terry is the backing vocalist.
Jon rocked this song! I'm VERY SAD that he was kicked out of the band.😢
CHURCH OF THE POSION MIND IS THE BEST SONG OF 1983. I STILL LOVE IT AS MUCH AS 1983.
Amen!
SOUTHBURY Frank , long live Culture Club and the 80s.
I love the tune but 83/84 was incredible with all the great songs on the pop charts. Its staggering the amount of hits
Reminds me of Motown and northern soul.
Very Motown sounding
カルチャーClubのMVを観た時の衝撃は、今でも覚えてます。
ボーイジョージの衣装や髪型が、とても新鮮でした！
この時代の洋楽は、最高です❤
that wink at the end, right before George breaks into laughter. so charming!
Gary, I love it too!
Yeah!! Break out some laughter at the Prosperity Gospel-it needs some mud in its eye!!
Ugh he was the cutest thing back then! Too bad I’m no 80s teen
この曲もこのグループでは好きな曲です。私はあの頃、ファンでしたしボーイのファンでした。私はロングヘアーであり、この人への意識が強く。このプロモも本当、綺麗に写ってると。♂️の中に♀が１人いるよう。自身にも結び付くような光景だと。
I always loved this song. Boy George & Helen Terry sound great together. She's so underrated. She has such a powerful beautiful voice!!!
Massive respect to the backing vocalists who makes this song , superb 👏
Helen Terry.... she was vital to this band and it's success
@@wpochert 100% , when you have a voice like that you're always onto a winner.
Church of the poison mind, such an appropriate title.
What a contagious fun upbeat song!! Contagious in a good way!! You could hear this song over and over and never get sick of it!! Loved it then and will always will!!
He based it on Stevie Wonder's "Uptight."
Absolutely.
So long ago, but it seems like it was yesterday every time I hear it. The '80s were the best.
Amen!!
Amen.
Boy George knew he could sing... The lady voice in the background makes the song magic.. Oh the 80’s , so much fun
For me, this song is the absolute masterpiece of culture club and the video is sweet.
The duet of Boy George and the lady with the short hair is sensational, their voices are complementing each other so well.
Beside that, Boy George is so pretty (actually beautiful with sparkling eyes etc)
and flirtatious. No wonder that both men and women fell for him.
What artists!
Where are such of this kind nowadays?
I always felt that Boy George’s controversial image distracted most from the fact that they made extremely well crafted blue eyed soul. Helen Terry hits all the right notes here.
Seeing things now, I'm convinced he was a head of his time and courageous! His image should should distract anyone from his artistic genius. I mean I grew up in the deep south and deep in church but I thought both he and his music were beautiful and transcendant. I mean look at that face! Such a sweet young boy!
I agree. That voice! That delivery! That Boy could sing. I don't think he realized or appreciated it at that time. Seems like he was more into the look than the music at that time. Things have changed with maturity.
Helen Terry is awesome.
I m etero. But the young George boy was really a beautiful boy. Or girl. 😂 It depend. He was versatile.
I agree and I am not gay.
Still righteous in 2019! Helen Terry rips it up in those backing vocals!
Amazing
Her vocals were awesome !
Astonishing! X✌️🤑🏆
You ain't kidding!!!!
Helen Terry is my favourite things about Culture Club, and that says a lot. Such a great singer!
I cannot get over this man's voice. Genius.
i love boy george forever and ever
Since all of the drug abuse, Like Whitney Houston, he's lost a great deal of his voice. Watch him on "The View", his vocals are just awful.
He is cool. I love his voice. Also, a new album is coming out soon. (Well, at least I heard.)
It's a little raspy but I like the more mature sound bro
True that. I hated CC back in the 80s but now Boy George's voice (from the 80s) sounds, to me, outstanding.
Loved when George brought Helen Terry into the mix as their back up singer for a bit. She had a kick a$$ voice and not only did it compliment George’s vocals, it also gave Culture Club a new edge to their songs.
Just saw CC 8-04-2023. Amazing show! Berlin and Howard Jones opened. Clarkston, Michigan at Pine Knob. So much talent!!
Great show. I was there too!
One of his most upbeat songs. Makes you wanna dance.
Boy george es el mas guapo de yodo europa te amo mi amor
And hes on tour right now. Go get em George.
This song was released way ahead of its time. Makes me wanna go out & have a great time.
This is one of the most uplifting songs of the 80's
Yes this is my go to happy song! Dusty the 2nd.
Amen!
I was 12 when this came out,as I sat and watched this I was thinking about how much are world has changed since than. We grew up in a great era I wouldn't trade that time for anything in the world
The 80's were so awesome & fun! We were lucky to have been 80's Teens...wish I had a time machine to go back!
Me too, it was a great age...
Ah, people my age that truly understand how great the 80s were, and still are. May the 80s live forever. A decade of fun and celebration. Wish I could go back in time.
: )
Music bery Na.....
BG stood out from the crowd for his fantastic vocals, great grooves, originality, and unapologetic gayness at a time when that would subject him to endless hate and ridicule. He's a true brave pioneer.
Awesome Helen Terry on backing vocals
Still signing in the Church of the Poison Mind!
Come on folks, what a magnificent voice this man projects. He is one of the best and we all know it! My favorite song of Culture Club.
Is it just me, or does Jon really get into it on the last chorus part. (Starting at 2:50) Love ya Culture Club.
To bad they don't make music like this anymore. ❤
Darling George a legend thank you so much for your beautiful music and memories
I SO MISS George's 80's voice!!
One of favorite classic songs by this classic band. ❤
These blokes were quite really ahead of their time with their dubious sexuality and not making a big fuss about it like today's freaks. Miss the 80s so much.
Absolutely agree no one cared about a person's preference then. Now everyone has a cause or hang up it's gone beyond stupid. Back then creativity was celebrated and we all had fun.
Real music, real bands, the Brits at their very best!!!
Im glad he was able to get his life and career back on track. Im hoping hes been able to keep it that way. It sucks to see someone who brings so much happiness to so many people literally living in hell. Even if this isnt your chosen genre of music you must be able to appreciate the pure talent that so many famous musicians couldnt come close to like he can. The group was so unique in its style i dont know of anyone that could pull that off again
Boy George and Helen Terry, the best duo ever!
Brawling in pubs from the 80s through the 90s never once did we question the identity of his music ...
Man! when I say we had some of the best music! Singers, bands and the orchestra were unbelievable! It will never be another time like the time of the 80s.
This is one of those songs that’s so upbeat and fun. Also, this is one of those lost 80’s hits. Highly underrated song
A punk band with so much soul. Definitely the sounds of the 80"s.
I was 10 when Culture Club came out but you can always recall George was a one off and wrote great songs. When i watched him on the Voice you came to appreciate that he has the smarts too. I saw CC in Dublin last night supported by Heaven 17 and Tony hadley....One of the best shows ever. Firstly singers from the 1980s could sing and made timeless music. George has such soul in his voice ..And it was one of the best shows id see for another reason. George has such clarity to his voice that you can understand the lyrics if you didnt know the song. The show was enhanced by the band the great production and wonderful backing singers too
Even people back in the 80s who didn't want to admit they liked culture club, really did love their music 👌
My mom loved to hear him sing!
My favourite song of the 80’s! Must be why I’m top 0.05% of culture club listeners on Spotify 😊
Get it Ms Helen Terry! What a powerful soulful voice coming straight outta the UK!
Ohmygod, I LOVE her voice!! So soulful!! ❤️
@@moonchild1772 She's definitely amazing and deserves way more recognition than she gets!
makes me miss the dance clubs from the late 80's
Helen Terry sings bodacious backup/featured vocals!
This is all opraetta 🦁
Best song they ever did. Lyrically and structurally superb.
Incredible band.
"I had to fight to make this mine", and "just move your feet and you'll feel fine" are my 2 fav lyrics of this song, and love his eyebrows in this video. He makes me happy. At least this song and video does.
Can you explain those lyrics? I dont get it
It is my uttermost pleasure seeing your amazing and pleasant comment on my movie channel. 😍This really brought great joy to my heart
@@boygeorge896 Love you and hope you are real here. So glad they let you back into the US.
@@dustythe2nd188 I really appreciate you for being a great fan of mine
This is what happens when the best drummer, guitairist and singer gets together. Every instrument speaks to us.
This is one of the most interesting, well created songs of the last century. The vocals ,the arregement,the visuals. Pure art.
Man u know your SHIT....Music that is, my son
Pure brilliance
IT'S NOT ___, IT'S MUSIC, QUIT USIN THE FIRST PART OF MY FIRST NAME (AND ALSO MY DEARLY DEPARTED DAD'S!)😭😟😡😠👎
They were the 80's, a magical time, how I miss it.
I’m a rock guy but this is a classic, the best song they ever did
I'm more or less in the same boat as you.
Beautiful. Mary Hopkins sings like an angel and really nice to hear peter Skellan's voice again. A great song all round.
