Jermaine died in 1997. His burial site went without a tombstone or even a grave marker for 17 years, that is until 2014 when a fan anonymously paid for Jermaine to finally have his tombstone. G-d bless this anonymous fan but at the same time it is an absolute disgrace that our beloved artists a lot of times don't get the respect they deserve even when dead. It is our duty as 80's music lovers and I grew up in the 80's listening to Jermaine and others, to honor them and spread their legacy. It doesn't matter if they're Black or White or whatever nor their sexual orientation nor their political views. They are our cultural treasures as Americans.
I have to say the '60's-'70's was the best music and movies. Everything was a first and every generation goes back to this time. I love this song cause it reminds me of the old Motown days.
I read that his burial site was left without a grave marker for over 17 years. In 2014, his grave finally received a stone, paid for anonymously by a fan!
I lost my husband of 35 years today. This was one of our favourite songs back in the mid 80s when we first met. Been trawling through RUclips tonight trying to relive those happy times. This did the trick 🙂 x
We love and miss you, Jermaine! Exceptional talent and incredible dancer and singer. Your hair, outfits, and smile were everything! Gone too soon but never forgotten. Thanks for leaving us your beautiful music! Rest in power, sweet king! ❤
Thank goodness he's dead because I only watch the movies in 2016 spectaculars and I only watch pixel only watch movies and shows that by what the heck show on TV can you watch after watching fosters remote for imaginary Friends Derek and chief episode 13 of Josh
Jermaine really paid his dues being a long time backup singer and dancer. he had some nice hits including the word is out. he died at only 39 of AIDS related cancer. Sadly his grave did not have a head stone for over 17 years for some reason until his mom put one there. he should be remembered a lot more than he is. talented guy.
We called it the prep down south. Fun times! If only the world we live in can be as it was in the 80s, where it "seemed" like everything was alright. Now, with the internet & social media, we can't escape from all that is wrong in the world. Ignorance is bliss, sadly.
@@SimplyCiCi894….Yep, the dance is called the “Prep!”😎Whenever I hear this song, I automatically start doing it and relive my high school Sr. year in 1986!!
@@SimplyCiCi894 80s are overated great music but the rest is overated when old people talk about the old days the younger generation doesn't care about that
Im not to sure who he is but im pretty sure i knoew this song before him sadly. This song is so much better then the newest version with a girl signing i feel they definitely changed the song around made it a bad thing. This song is actually uplifting and its a man who created it 😮
Stewart was openly gay. He died of AIDS-related liver cancer on March 17, 1997, at age 39 in the Chicago suburb of Homewood, Illinois. His burial site was left without a tombstone or even a grave marker for over 17 years. So much for friends. In 2014, his grave finally received a gravestone, paid for anonymously by a fan.
@@andreamerino9146 he was the one Magic contracted hiv from. They were secret lovers back in the 80’s. Unfortunately Magic is still alive , Stewart isn’t.
He was only 39 when he died. I'm 42 today, and I feel like a kid when I listen to this song. Life is crazy. I wish he was still alive. Maybe he would have some wisdom to share in these crazy times. You never know.
I'm glad I grew up when these songs came out. 80s were a special time. Hard to explain the feeling. It's 40 years later and still keep coming back to this era.
Fun fact: this video was directed by David Fincher (who went on to direct Fight Club, Social Network, Gone Girl, Mindhunters etc) it was also one of his very first directing gigs.
Met him shortly after moving back to L.A. when I finished undergrad. Nice guy. Gave me his autograph. His death sent shock waves through me. RIP Jermaine
This song actually has a good message. Remember this was the 80's and AIDS was 'new' and terrifying. Even in 2016 there still is no actual cure. So, the message of this song is still relevant today.
Love this song! I was 21 when it came out. I rated it a "B" song compared to the tremendous decade of 80s songs. Now, it beats the hell out of almost anything since the millennium lol.
I went through the UK Top 40 a few days ago and picked some random songs and played the videos. I think I listened with open ears but it was both tragic and boring.
Why doesn't anyone think like this anymore? Man...this is when music meant something...not the same crap on every station. Ugh...the 80's were the best!
There was nothing like the '80s all the way around. Best of times and best of music. I'd give anything to take a trip back in time to the 1980's. It was my favorite decade of all times. Can't compare to 2024... unfortunately.
He's in Heaven, dancing and partying all night, and drinking Cherry Wine. And he'll have no shortage of Cherry Wine, onaccounta Jesus can always make more wine 💖
I have an autographed 12" of this record! When I met him I was star struck. I was surprised that his voice was a bit deep (or maybe he was just selling himself that way). I was at Strawberries record store in downtown Boston. I walked in with a pair of "Blues Brothers" mirrored lensed glasses on. When I reached the autograph table he complimented me on the shades...I immediately took them off and handed them to him. He invited me to a show he was performing that evening. What a great memory!
Whenever I hear this song it makes me feel like Jermaine comes back to life for a few minutes to sing and then when the record stops playing, he goes back to rest.
The absolute best of pop was 1982 to 1985. 1986 at a push. Dont take my word for it. Look what is still being played nearly or exactly 40 years later. Perfect pop. 10 different genres in the top 10. Jermain crashed in from nowhere with this global banger and to this day nobody ever had cherry wine! God love him tho you couldn’t be gay in the 80’s
Well the earth is constantly spinning/rotating humans gave these rotations a value and divided it into 24 for hours and that's a day. And 365 of these "days" make what humans call a year. Now a year is when the earth revolves around the sun in a complete circle. So these are the reasons it's not 1986 anymore hopefully this helps you. Ps I'd blame the humans for this.
This song was popular when I was like 13 or 14. Does anyone remember waiting for your favorite songs to come on the radio and you would run to your boom box to hit record onto a cassette. That's how we downloaded music. Old school! Anybody else do this or was I the only one?
Yes , yes I remember. Had u ever been lucky enough to hold on to 'em then pull them out after so many years and listen to 'em? I used to do that wit my vhs tapes wit videos recorded off video soul.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10n or thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
The most prolific era in modern recorded music. Vast numbers of independent of record labels gave artist who otherwise might not have had the opportunity to advance their talents. Creatively new music technology made the 80s the best, into the 90s with New Jack Swing. Teddy Riley, a musical genus, was as influential as Phil Spector was in the 60s.
I don't think they'll ever be another 80s when it comes to music. I would listen to Def Leppard or AC/DC with my friends and listen to you everything else when they weren't around because there was so much good music made me become a Professional musician.
I am totally obsessed with the backup dancers moves in this video. Such good, pure,and unadulterated 80's vibes emanating from them it makes the whole song that much better.
❤Happy Heavenly Brithday❤ Jermaine Stewart (September 7, 1957 - March 17, 1997) was an American R&B singer, best known for his 1986 hit single "We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off", which peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100. It also peaked within the top ten of the charts in Canada (at number two), Ireland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. His 1987 song "Say It Again", reached number seven in the United Kingdom. Continue to Rest in eternal peace Angel amen.❤
Yes. I remember ! Jermaine Stewart came and gave a live performance in the gym at Carson Senior high School in Carson California about a week after prom, during June 1986. Most of the senior class was excited about the visit. Great song. May he rest in heaven.
I have mixed emotions when I hear this song, I cry because he passed away to soon, and I dance because he sang this song from his heart. I admired this man and I am a fan and always will be one of Jermain Stewart ❤🎉
The best message ever... Be cute, Be fabulous.. You don't have to give in to peer pressure! You can go home unpregnant, unoverdosed, undiseased, unused and HAPPY 💗🌞 Thank You Jermaine Stewart for leaving this video to share with this generation ✔💯
OMG!!!! The whole time I thought that this song is sung by a girl!!! I've been listening this song since I was like 10 years old and I'm going to be 36 this Monday!!! This whole time it was a guy!!! WOW!!!!
+Ihsan im over 40 and positive ive seen the video back in the day but forgot that a dude sang it. I remember thinking "why are GYMCLASS HEROS mocking that woman" when they did their cover.
+alan richardson I wasn't cool back in the days, I used to watch the snorkels, the smurfs, bozo the clown, lol stuff like that. Air wolf, street hawk, and American gladiators was my favorite shows, hands down!! 👍
I was lucky to grow up in the 1980's and listen to all the great music like this Classic, I want to go back so BADLY!!! Somebody needs to start inventing a time machine already!!!
THERE'S NO MORE UNIQUE PERIOD IN MUSIC HISTORY THAN THE EIGHTIES . IT WAS THE BEGGINING OF SO MANY GREAT ARTISTS CAREERS AND NEW STYLES OF MUSIC... THE EIGHTIES CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED. ONLY THING WE CAN DO IS PLAY THE RECORDED JAMES OF THAT AMAZING TIMES AND ENJOY THEK FOR WHATEVER TIME THE GOOD LORD ALLOWS US TO HAVE ON HIS EARTH ...
I remember when I was embarrassed to say that I liked this song or artists, bcuz friends would say or think I was gay, So many artist that I was afraid to show any live. Bcuz of ridicule. Hurts to remember. On a Happy note, when my mother was alive we first thought this was actually MJ singing, what a trip, greetings to all, love from California
I'm happy to see so many people showing respect for him through their comments on here. He was a great talent with a wonderful smile. Life is short. Full of happiness and sadness. Rest in peace.
R.I.P. & Thank you. I Just want to dance when I hear this song !!!
His ending was tragic, abandoned by his family, record company, died poor. Damn shame. Great singer and great song.

It’s hard to believe that any of the band members from Shalamar, especially Jody Watley for not taking care of their friend after his passing.😡

absolutely the best

True indeed
So much originality back then
The best time ❤
It's been 30 years on now and this song still kicks ass.
This was the best decade ever. Now this music is trash.
The beat is definitely good, but the lyrics are kinda cheese. I get the times were about preventing AIDS.
Seriously. I hate to be "that guy" (TM) but this song is better than 90% of songs today. It just is.

@@Phil..._ he passed away years ago.
Such a good song . Man I miss the 80s , we had the best music 🎶. 51 years old 2024
Whenever I hear this song it makes me feel like Jermaine comes back to life for a few minutes to sing and then when the record stops playing, he goes back to rest.
Mr Smiles :thats a good way of looking at it!☺
That's a beautiful way of looking at it. We live on forever through music.
wow
Such a great dance song, yeah i can picture him as well. =)
That's beautiful. Really.
The 80's had the best music hands down. Who doesn't wanna get up and dance to this sing?
Eric Smith yuppp you just felt the music😎😎
Eric Smith I do, ALL THE TIME!!!
Eric Smith love this song.
The absolute best of pop was 1982 to 1985. 1986 at a push. Dont take my word for it. Look what is still being played nearly or exactly 40 years later. Perfect pop. 10 different genres in the top 10. Jermain crashed in from nowhere with this global banger and to this day nobody ever had cherry wine! God love him tho you couldn’t be gay in the 80’s
I play this every day cleaning my house. Hahaha. Love this song 😂💓
1986...why did those days ever have to go?...
Well the earth is constantly spinning/rotating humans gave these rotations a value and divided it into 24 for hours and that's a day. And 365 of these "days" make what humans call a year. Now a year is when the earth revolves around the sun in a complete circle. So these are the reasons it's not 1986 anymore hopefully this helps you.
Ps I'd blame the humans for this.
Because of new years eve.
Music was starting to suck in 1986. My voice of opinion.
People became cynical in the 90s. Laughing at the 80s became the thing.
I was busy being a caretaker and burying all my friends
😮🤦😄 I'm 47 years old and I found out today a man sang this song.
I'm 40 and I always thought it was a woman 😬
Me too!
Anyone still loves Jermaine Stewart and this timeless classic in 2021 with the awesome old school music power of classic MTV?
Did you ever drink cherry wine?
@@brooklynmadejc4497 Yes, I have. Twice.
I’ll never forget him!
Back when MTV played non stop music and it was the best channel on tv, period. Then the “ Real World” came along and it went downhill after that.
@@swedejohanson7739 Dang straight on THAT, Swede!
This song was popular when I was like 13 or 14. Does anyone remember waiting for your favorite songs to come on the radio and you would run to your boom box to hit record onto a cassette. That's how we downloaded music. Old school! Anybody else do this or was I the only one?
I REMEMBER😂🎤📻
yep! lol!
sure do!!..especially on Friday Nights....trying to record all the MixMaster Sessions!!...Rap's Beginnings ...😃
Yes , yes I remember. Had u ever been lucky enough to hold on to 'em then pull them out after so many years and listen to 'em? I used to do that wit my vhs tapes wit videos recorded off video soul.

A great jam from a talented man whose life was cut too short. We'll never forget you, Jermaine.
Dame the memory this brings back
This song make a lot of sense the young people of today need listen to this and take heed to it ! Fly High Jermaine we miss you ❤🕊️🙏🏽
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10n or thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
I don't think it really made a difference.... people sing about one thing and do another.......you do know how he died right?????
@@ms_saltnlight Shut up nobody cares
@@ms_saltnlight Are you saying he cant fly high🤨
@@BrandonSmith-rb1bf Depends on what you mean by flying high?
Jermaine had a tragic life by the end. I hope he rests peacefully
I never knew that. May he rest in peace.
@@peterhoey7453 Yes he died of Aids in 1997

I miss music like this! Simple, catchy, makes you want to get up and have fun!
The music isn't simple at all, so many details and different grooves fitting together
@@johanvissers1615 👍
Yeah the music, hair color and clothes
Yes. Me too
I'm here for you feel much your op hart ❤️🔥🔥😘 for free tu mind here Tyrone Gunn ❤️
I’m still listening in August of 2024. R.I.P. Jermaine.
This is a all time classic
@@stephenwride5695 yea this speaks to me as i just came out as aroace
Me too
The 80’s were the absolute best
Yes...they were. They live in that piece of me that was fierce, and fun.
The most prolific era in modern recorded music. Vast numbers of independent of record labels gave artist who otherwise might not have had the opportunity to advance their talents. Creatively new music technology made the 80s the best, into the 90s with New Jack Swing. Teddy Riley, a musical genus, was as influential as Phil Spector was in the 60s.
@@martydaymudefromdc 80s had the best music for sure
Yes with
jane child- I don't want to fall in love
I don't think they'll ever be another 80s when it comes to music. I would listen to Def Leppard or AC/DC with my friends and listen to you everything else when they weren't around because there was so much good music made me become a Professional musician.
Who is listening to this classic song in 2019......timeless
I am, love it!!!!!
🤚😎👍
Present!
Maybe some of kids today could benefit from hearing this🤔
Perfect
RIP Jermain Stewart, passed away so young. Such a great singer ans performer
What an absolute banger.
I am totally obsessed with the backup dancers moves in this video. Such good, pure,and unadulterated 80's vibes emanating from them it makes the whole song that much better.
80s standard...the backup singers moved as good as the centerpiece
Same!!
The 80s seemed like such a fun and vibrant time.
I can't look at cherry wine in the store with out wanting to break out and sing wildly
You should!
For anyone who lived in that era, this should be a "requirement" to do that at the sight of cherry wine!!!! Thanks for the suggestion!!!
I’ve still never seen cherry Wine.
Yeah where can I find it? This is the theme song for my girls and I - and I need a bottle!
@@DEIONCARTER21 - I've had some from Washington State with Rainier cherries. It's grub! 😛
Can we please appreciate how literally EVERY person in this music video is absolutely bringing it!
I'm good.
Yes they are....AWESOME. I so miss the 80's
Hell Yeah
There you go............THEY OWNED IT!!
Jermaine was a Soul Train dancer along side Jody Watley, Jeffrey Daniel & Fred Rerun Berry. They always jammed the dance moves.
This song always sounds good
I love the innocence of this song mixed with the great beat and tune.
🤓
Me too!
Jermaine was one of a kind. It's BS that he never got his own tomb stone until way later after his death. All because he was gay.
80s babies stand up.... We had real fun back in the day
A man
Yes, we sure did!!!
Too right
kaynyne i wasn’t born in the 80s but having older parents and being the youngest...I literally knew all the old songs. 😂😂
81' here
I only notice as I get older how intricate the instrumentals are on these glossy pop songs of this era. The musicianship is off the charts!
❤Happy Heavenly Brithday❤
Jermaine Stewart
(September 7, 1957 - March 17, 1997) was an American R&B singer, best known for his 1986 hit single "We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off", which peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100. It also peaked within the top ten of the charts in Canada (at number two), Ireland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. His 1987 song "Say It Again", reached number seven in the United Kingdom. Continue to Rest in eternal peace Angel amen.❤
He did take his clothes off and died of AIDS related Liver Cancer.
Holy cow! I never knew he died on St Patrick's Day!
Yes. I remember ! Jermaine Stewart came and gave a live performance in the gym at Carson Senior high School in Carson California about a week after prom, during June 1986. Most of the senior class was excited about the visit. Great song. May he rest in heaven.
Underrated track and artist. RIP Jermaine. Thanks for the memories
RIP Jermaine. You had a good song there.
bondoly66 wrong. Great song.
😞
He died?
@@josephinecampbell3196 yeah, aids related stomach cancer according to his wiki. He gave us a banger before his time was gone though, RIP.
Sevan Solorzano he was good looking along with the voice.
I have mixed emotions when I hear this song, I cry because he passed away to soon, and I dance because he sang this song from his heart. I admired this man and I am a fan and always will be one of Jermain Stewart ❤🎉
The best message ever... Be cute, Be fabulous.. You don't have to give in to peer pressure! You can go home unpregnant, unoverdosed, undiseased, unused and HAPPY 💗🌞 Thank You Jermaine Stewart for leaving this video to share with this generation ✔💯
🤓💯AMEN🍷🤓🍷
Period!
He literally died of Aids! Stop the gaslighting!!!!!😏😏😏😏
SO TRUE!
The message of this song should be so relevant today. 💗
I was about 13 when this came out (86) and I can still remember it like it was yesterday-
Truly nostalgic !
I was only 6 years old and now 34. Dang this song is still good.
@@jcantu1206Do you mean 43? Sounds like you born in 1980. Unless you first heard the song in 1995.
i was about same age :) 1st time i was asked to join a something new fun and highly infectious and i declined thanks to this song :)
This should be the movement for 2020 and beyond.
LoudMouth for President
Timeless!
How the HELL did this man not have a other Top 10 hit? He was incredible! What a voice!
Good question!
He had passed away
died of AIDS
@@robinalvarado7966 They can do, post mortem.
He did have another "Say It Again" which went to number 7 in the UK.
OMG!!!! The whole time I thought that this song is sung by a girl!!! I've been listening this song since I was like 10 years old and I'm going to be 36 this Monday!!! This whole time it was a guy!!! WOW!!!!
+Ihsan Deeb your whole life has been a lie :D
+rlumplove lol I know right?!! Honestly I just never ever seen the video before.
haha! I didn't even know the song until ella eyre covered this..shame on me
+Ihsan im over 40 and positive ive seen the video back in the day but forgot that a dude sang it. I remember thinking "why are GYMCLASS HEROS mocking that woman" when they did their cover.
+alan richardson I wasn't cool back in the days, I used to watch the snorkels, the smurfs, bozo the clown, lol stuff like that. Air wolf, street hawk, and American gladiators was my favorite shows, hands down!! 👍
Miss these days...
me too
These nostalgic videos sometimes get me teary eye. Remind people death or someone Graduation.
Uzumaki Naruto Like you didn't cry watching Naruto.
Mi Horrorshow what do you mean?
Gary suto
I just heard this on the radio, having never seen the video, and i am floored this is a dude singer.
I was lucky to grow up in the 1980's and listen to all the great music like this Classic, I want to go back so BADLY!!! Somebody needs to start inventing a time machine already!!!
Learn Astral Projection you can go back and re visit those days again get a book by the name of Astral Dynamics by Robert Bruce now let the fun begin!
Your not the only one! I loath this century and its spoiled generation of brats
THERE'S NO MORE UNIQUE PERIOD IN MUSIC HISTORY THAN THE EIGHTIES . IT WAS THE BEGGINING OF SO MANY GREAT ARTISTS CAREERS AND NEW STYLES OF MUSIC... THE EIGHTIES CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED. ONLY THING WE CAN DO IS PLAY THE RECORDED JAMES OF THAT AMAZING TIMES AND ENJOY THEK FOR WHATEVER TIME THE GOOD LORD ALLOWS US TO HAVE ON HIS EARTH ...
keveni78123456 -you and me both! I miss the awesome times growing up with my cousins while listening to the coolest music and incredible videos.
Life was easier back then I was a teenager , no internet , no social media , we had our voice and used it , we lived life we didn't document it .
R.I.P Jermaine This Song Is Still🔥🔥...In 2019
💯
Just like Freddie Mercury.....aids killed him...and it is a shame because he could've made it in the 2000s
I remember when I was embarrassed to say that I liked this song or artists, bcuz friends would say or think I was gay, So many artist that I was afraid to show any live. Bcuz of ridicule. Hurts to remember. On a Happy note, when my mother was alive we first thought this was actually MJ singing, what a trip, greetings to all, love from California
Yes it is!
Never go away from our souls.
He Was Right On Point With This Song Totally Agree God Bless You Jermaine R.I.P!
Have the greatest time of your life whenever you can xxxxxxxx
Amen to that!🙏💜💯👏😊
I'm happy to see so many people showing respect for him through their comments on here. He was a great talent with a wonderful smile. Life is short. Full of happiness and sadness. Rest in peace.
The energy of the 80s was fantastic!
tell me about it. i wish ieveryday i had lived during the 80s
I lived in the 80s was great
It was.
I heard they were high 😂
Is called "good coke"
