This was my High school sweetheart and my song, he could walk in a room and I would get butterflies. I was only fourteen years old when he asked me to the July 4th fireworks at our high-school football field, my mom had to drive me to meet him because he was a month away from getting his license. Things were so different back then, 1980. I close my eyes when i hear this song and see us as teenagers so madly in love. Two sons and 42 years later and we are still together. He's the love of my life, truly my one true ❤️ love.
True role models which we have in short supply this days. Most celebrity are known for multiple relationships and kids all over the country. God bless you and keep you for each other. ❤❤
The fear and trepidation of asking that girl across the room to dance. And while the song plays, you realize your heartbeat is perfectly in tune with the beat of the song. ❤😂
My husband was a beautiful singer, he would sing this song to me we were so young and in love, he passed away last year, 43 years of marriage we loved music!
The Manhattans did a concert at Marine Base Camp Lejeune. I had the honor and privilege of being their escort for the day and interview them for the base newspaper. A truly class act, great men!
I disagree. You have changed, not human nature. You used to have more illusions about other people. This tune was released in 1980. Even a tIny peek at that decade -- let alone the preceding 5,000 years of written history -- shows terrible atrocities happening routinely. You and me are no doubt fine people, but we all "remember" things as we imagined them, not as they were. I remember the 60s as being full of optimism -- because I was. But older people remember lynchings, shootings, polio, indoor smoking, and terrible car safety. The 80s were filled with war (Lebanon, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Ireland, South Africa, India) and terrible music (not this, of course) and cocaine. Asking God to change things...is it really possible for something to happen against God's will? I'm not trying to troll. I do think misplaced nostalgia causes the very problems it claims to want to reverse,,,because shifting into reverse without looking backwards never comes out well.
@@andrewzboard I’m 62, it sounds like you are a bit older. Of course things have changed looking back 50-55 years. Just look at this group’s appearance. Well groomed and well dressed. Now they got tats on thier necks and pants falling off, lol 50 years ago people didn’t lock thier doors even in some big cities. Smaller towns never. An 8-10 year old kid could go out with a rake or snow shovel and make a few bucks, without worrying about stranger danger. Nobody brought guns to school and did school shootings. They just duked it out with fists. I still think men and women treated each other with more respect. You bring up valid points too . Being homeless 50-55 years ago was against the law. Women were brought in out of the cold . Men were given a chance and help to find a job . And the police would call around to help the guy get work and a room to rent . If he kept losing his job and living drunk in the park or woods , he would be arrested for vagrancy. And maybe that would help him get a taste of how valuable freedom is. They didn’t have the mass drug problem or divorce rate in the 50,s . 60,s , 70,s and 80,s brought it from 10-20 percent to 50 percent. I guess the free love thing hurt too many feelings.
December 10th 1978 my hubby and I met. Danced to this song so many times. He dedicated this song to me for my 30th birthday party. Still going strong!!! Celebrating 40 years of marriage and thanking God for His perfect peace, joy, love and WISDOM through it ALL!!!😊🙏🙏🙏
Sitting here listening to these old songs and crying. Their will never be music like this again. But I do have my memories of days long ago with all the good times and music.
I lived with my grandparents and uncles when I was 14, and one of my uncles was a fan of The Manhattans, he would listen it almost every day when he arrived from work... He passed away in 2021 from COVID-19, and listening to these divine tunes makes me remind me of his kindness, his honest smile and his lame dad jokes... RIP tío Eli!
I was brought up on this music my mum and dad listened to it all and I'm carrying on the trend as I missed out on the era of good music i was born in the 80s so i lucked out but thankfully youtube has it all for me this 50s and 60s music have always been the best music such a shame no1 does music like this anymore. But thankfully we have RUclips 😢
April 2024 I'm here in Sydney Australia. I love the choreography. How the lead singer is at the back at the start. How the front guys put their microphone stands at the back. It's all special. Original. Out of the box. So uplifting.
Shout out to ALL the Real lovers out there. True Love never dies. Dedicate this song to my wonderful husband of 19 years. You still make me feel like your shining star...God knows you are mine. Loving you is one of my greatest accomplishments.
I agree with the lady about wish the generation today would learn to listen to this type of music instead of the terrible words of the music that they have today just terrible 😞
Remember rewinding my TDK cassette using my pencil a thousand times to practice the lyrics of this song so I could serenade to my girlfriend. That shining star ⭐️ is my wife today! 🇿🇦❤️
🌟 This song reminds me of my Mom and Dad. I remember seeing them dance to this song when I was a little girl. Over 35 years together, and they are still each other's shining star ⭐️✨
I love Beautiful examples! My husband and I are the same. 19 years and we're still each other's shining 🌟 star. Shout out to all the real lovers out there 💛 ❤ 💓
Legends! There will never be songs like these made anymore. Songs like this took great genuine emotion and honesty sincerity that many people just don't have today. It makes me sad.
It was easier to make music like that back in the day because the atmosphere was soul great especially if you was in love. I believe, and this is my opinion, they don't make music like this because the atmosphere is so different these days.
Because this requires authentic talent and musicianship. Most people would rather listen to either simple Country or hip hop today. Glad I grew up with real music.
I've always loved the Manhattans this is one of my favorite songs by them . I still have my 45 vinyl record of this song and my 45 record of kiss and say goodbye . Them were the good old days . Wish music was still like this
Wow such a beautiful and timeless song, this song as well reminds me of mom and dad. 53 years together through thick and thin raising four kids on very little income. They truly are each other's shining star. Mom, dad I love you both so much, and I'm greatful and honored to be called your son and being raised right and in a Christian home. You guys are my life, my rock and my everything.😘❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹
Ooh, yeah Honey, you are my shining star Don't you go away, oh, baby Wanna be right here where you are Until my dying day, yeah, baby So many have tried Tried to find a love like yours and mine, yeah, baby Girl, don't you realize how you hypnotize?

+Sharlene Probert im only 43 I agree with you R&B ballads were so romantic in early 80s a lot better today unless its old school comebacks no bump and brind crap!!!! Pure Ballads
Play this all the time around your kids, that's how they pick it up......its how I did!!! This my folks music. Thanks to YT, the jobs made even easier.
What a classic. I was 12 when this came out and it takes me back to a simpler time of junior high school and having crushes. :) It was on the radio a lot in 1980. Beautiful voice!!!
Were you only 2 when this song came out cause you don't look that old Ma'am...born in 79 but grew up listening to all these old school R&B with my older brother and still do
I personally know Gerald Alston and he is a fine person, quite the gentleman and all-around great man to know. 2020. He will always be that shining star.
Tenho 44 anos de idade. Impossivel ouvir e nao lembrar da Rádio Antena 1. Foi por ela que conheci esta linda musica lá no inicio dos anos 90! Enquanto os outros estavam ouvindo "Mamonas Assassinas" e "É o Tchan"(não é de hoje que podreiras musicais como pisadinha e sertanojo existem) naquela época, eu estava ouvindo esta linda musica na Rádio Antena 1. Sempre gostei de boas musicas e continuo aqui ouvindo o que é de qualidade. O que é bom é para sempre. Sei e tenho certeza de que fiz a escolha musical certa e jamais irei me arrepender.
Nesse momento fazia 34 anos que eu não ouvia essa música( idade do meu marido hoje). Eu ouvia na rádio tropical essa música em muitas noites, daquele difícil ano de 1988 em minha adolescência numa escola católica.
Songs of love not death . Yes it was a different time . The cars were long, wide and beautiful and gas was 38 cents a gallon . As a white kid I watched Soul Train on TV to watch and hear some of the best music America had .
Acho Tá Na minha mãe não tá com você boa noite dorme com deus e o sonho que eu é uma pessoa incrível que eu vou fazer pra vc é que não sei como é meu nome que é que não sei como é e eu tô com Deus e se cuida de mim não dá pra ir para a tá bom yyyy e vc é uma mulher que tá tá bom então não sei o que eu faço e não sei onde é o sonho é na hora que lindo eu não sei onde é que RAFAEL ☺️
This song was released in 1980, I song it in a talent show my senior year, I'm 59 years of age, I love the song, it was a different type of music then, I'm glad I grew up in that era.
67 YO Bruh Man here. This song moves me from back in the mid 70's during my college days. House parties, spades and bid with Wild Irish Rose and Strawberry Hill wine. No shootings, nothing but good vibes with the brothers and sisters. Where did that life go? Bac in the day this was the SH ITT. neva grows old.
How can anyone overlook the manhattans for a lifetime achievement award? 50+ yrs together and that rap mess gets awards calling women b's and h's. not fair, now with blue and sonny gone, they need an award soonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
well put Ms/Mrs Jones. im 35 yrs old and I'll choose this kind of music over most crap thats out now. they sure don't make songs like this anymore. beautiful song and lyrics
Actually, they do have an award, they actually won the Grammy award for Best R&B vocal performance in 1980, for this song. But I do agree with you about today’s rap crap music.
Shining Star ✨✨✨ heard this song on the radio when I was quite young with my mother actually. I love The Manhattans and the old R&B groups of my youth.Great sounds and vocals from a much missed simpler time and era that can’t be reproduced and compares to nothing nowadays.Nothing today compares to this music. This song truly comes straight from the heart.🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️🪩🪩🪩🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻✨✨✨
I wish we still had music like this today. Most of these groups, a lot of them has passed away. I wish we could bring this music backb's was the best of times
The Manhattans practiced at a rehearsal called Matrix a few hundred yards from the Fashion Institute of Technology. They say practice makes perfect, and they got it right.

somebody bring this back
This was a song my husband always sang to me, we were young & in love. He's gone now but this song brings back so many memories of our life together.
😢
This was also my husband and I song . We were also young and so in love! I too had to give him back to the Lord God 20 full moons ago .
Love it
Back when men loved women, sang love songs!! The 70s era was the BEST!!
Sorry for your loss, but you didn't lose the love. ❤
I'm 19 Years old and from Germany. I absolutely love this song and i'm really sad we dont get to experience new music like this anymore
Those were the music of my youth and still listening to it 😍 you got good taste in music .
Thank U for sharing...
Do your best not to be sad it’s a blessing when you can recognize good music
There's one singer/songwriter that is writing songs very close to that era and it's Ed Sheeran love his music
❤❤❤❤

Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can makes you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello makes you smile
❤❤❤❤❤
God bless both of you so much ❤
You can say that again about 1980 😁 those were the best years of our lives.
True role models which we have in short supply this days. Most celebrity are known for multiple relationships and kids all over the country. God bless you and keep you for each other. ❤❤
The fear and trepidation of asking that girl across the room to dance. And while the song plays, you realize your heartbeat is perfectly in tune with the beat of the song. ❤😂
It's a real shame music like this isn't made anymore, those of us whom were lucky enough to had grown up with it had the best music that was made.
Agreed. A whole different generation.
🤝👍🇺🇲❤️
💯💯💯
This generation is so weak 70s 80s 90s built strong

My husband was a beautiful singer, he would sing this song to me we were so young and in love, he passed away last year, 43 years of marriage we loved music!

Every song has a history
Hope the healing is good now love this song

Bless you.
The Manhattans did a concert at Marine Base Camp Lejeune. I had the honor and privilege of being their escort for the day and interview them for the base newspaper. A truly class act, great men!
Clean music, harmony, words you can understand, and full of emotions. I miss this kind of music. Thank goodness we can still listen to it here!
my new years song too my love
Está musica fez muita parte da da minha vida amo eles tudo de bom ❤❤❤❤❤
Também sinto falta de ouvir letras e harmonia tão inspiradoras nos ambientes coletivos. Quem mais perde é a nova geração 😢
That kind of music still exists today but it’s not in the genres of: pop, rap, rock, or country.
Essa música me acalmar 😅.....
My husband dedicated this song to me. He’s passed I still tear up when I hear this song
May the Lord strengthen you
What happened to your hubby Gloria I just want to know because my wife is missing her now she's been missing for 4 days in Las Vegas Nevada
I'm really sad for your loss
No auto tunes, no effects just pure music
This is when A woman was cherished and respected. Lord please bring this back to our young generation.
A woman was respected, and a man was respected, Because people respected themselves and knew that self esteem came from doing esteemable things.
For sure Grady, something went haywire the past 20-30 years. Not with everyone, but too many.
I disagree. You have changed, not human nature. You used to have more illusions about other people.

Naomi ! Sensational comment. 👏👏👏
I agree with the lady about wish the generation today would learn to listen to this type of music instead of the terrible words of the music that they have today just terrible 😞
The artist who sing love songs like this are far and in between. This was music!
Gerald Alston is criminally underated as a lead vocalist.
1970's/ What a decade of great music. Before auto tune. Real voices. Real music. The special effects were provided by the sheer talent.
Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can makes you feel better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello makes you smile
So absolutely perfect......real talent.
YES ❤YES ❤YES ❤

Gerald Never got the Recognition he deserved, One of the Greatest vocalist of all times.
I think that's gotta be the happiest feeling song that exists.
🌟 This song reminds me of my Mom and Dad. I remember seeing them dance to this song when I was a little girl. Over 35 years together, and they are still each other's shining star ⭐️✨
That's sweet I hope they do to music will never be this good again

Thats lovely... How touching it is to hear that.. We are all 80s kids. Im from PNG and I still love songs from that era.. ❤️ 💯 🙏
42 years now since this song came out.. real music.. real feel.. there's nothing nowadays that even comes close..
Kinda know what you mean….there’s still good though…❤️

Why don't they make music like this anymore? Just plain beautiful!
It was easier to make music like that back in the day because the atmosphere was soul great especially if you was in love. I believe, and this is my opinion, they don't make music like this because the atmosphere is so different these days.
Talents are long gone!
Because this requires authentic talent and musicianship. Most people would rather listen to either simple Country or hip hop today. Glad I grew up with real music.
Its all garbage now...not music...
Reminiscing with tears ❤️ about family & friends past & present that hold an indelible place in my heart.

Now that is the very best request I've heard anyone make to the Lord all day. And I have it on good authority that she LOVES R & B.....
no therapy is required for mind. this music is enough and no doctor is required
Absolutely amazing Im 73 I was tearing up.
My husband played this song for me on our first date and he still calls me his Shinning Star , little sister
What a classic. I was 12 when this came out and it takes me back to a simpler time of junior high school and having crushes. :) It was on the radio a lot in 1980. Beautiful voice!!!
Were you only 2 when this song came out cause you don't look that old Ma'am...born in 79 but grew up listening to all these old school R&B with my older brother and still do

Who wants a shining Star in 2023
Who is listening to this great song in 2021. Music never goes away. Great love song.❤️
Tenho 44 anos de idade. Impossivel ouvir e nao lembrar da Rádio Antena 1. Foi por ela que conheci esta linda musica lá no inicio dos anos 90! Enquanto os outros estavam ouvindo "Mamonas Assassinas" e "É o Tchan"(não é de hoje que podreiras musicais como pisadinha e sertanojo existem) naquela época, eu estava ouvindo esta linda musica na Rádio Antena 1. Sempre gostei de boas musicas e continuo aqui ouvindo o que é de qualidade. O que é bom é para sempre. Sei e tenho certeza de que fiz a escolha musical certa e jamais irei me arrepender.
Nesse momento fazia 34 anos que eu não ouvia essa música( idade do meu marido hoje). Eu ouvia na rádio tropical essa música em muitas noites, daquele difícil ano de 1988 em minha adolescência numa escola católica.
This was my great grandmother’s favorite song😢
this was me and my husband song he pass away ....together for 48 years ..ALWAYS & FOREVER
My wife is my shining Star and will always be in my heart amen
Without a Doubt one of the top ballads of all time
Songs of love not death . Yes it was a different time . The cars were long, wide and beautiful and gas was 38 cents a gallon . As a white kid I watched Soul Train on TV to watch and hear some of the best music America had .
Linda música, nasci em 95 porém amo as músicas mais antigas são as melhores 👏👏👏👏👏

Who’s still listening to this in 2023?❤
❤️
Memories of a GOOD AND SPECIAL MAN...I LOVE YOU T.T. ALWAYS ❤😢❤😢
THAT'S OUR SONG
This song was released in 1980, I song it in a talent show my senior year, I'm 59 years of age, I love the song, it was a different type of music then, I'm glad I grew up in that era.
Quien más la escucha en 2024??
Essa é eterna
We do
Texas does
YO
I do
Thanks for bringing us this great song at a good time in life!
67 YO Bruh Man here. This song moves me from back in the mid 70's during my college days. House parties, spades and bid with Wild Irish Rose and Strawberry Hill wine. No shootings, nothing but good vibes with the brothers and sisters. Where did that life go? Bac in the day this was the SH ITT. neva grows old.
I am 82 years old and still love this song. Listen to it a many nights over and over. ❤before I go to sleep. O Woodson. Jackson MS.
How can anyone overlook the manhattans for a lifetime achievement award? 50+ yrs together and that rap mess gets awards calling women b's and h's. not fair, now with blue and sonny gone, they need an award soonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
jane Jonesanda
jane jones ,, Ret DJ here my dear,, Couldn't agree more!!
Truth. When men were men and knew how to bring the romance. None of this half naked b's and h's bs.
well put Ms/Mrs Jones. im 35 yrs old and I'll choose this kind of music over most crap thats out now. they sure don't make songs like this anymore. beautiful song and lyrics
Actually, they do have an award, they actually won the Grammy award for Best R&B vocal performance in 1980, for this song. But I do agree with you about today’s rap crap music.
Shining Star ✨✨✨ heard this song on the radio when I was quite young with my mother actually. I love The Manhattans and the old R&B groups of my youth.Great sounds and vocals from a much missed simpler time and era that can’t be reproduced and compares to nothing nowadays.Nothing today compares to this music. This song truly comes straight from the heart.🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️🪩🪩🪩🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻✨✨✨

Music was so much better back then. It had feelings and depth. You sing along because you can understand the words.
The Manhattans practiced at a rehearsal called Matrix a few hundred yards from the Fashion Institute of Technology. They say practice makes perfect, and they got it right.
Essa canção é igual o vinho; quanto mais velho melhor.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Oui , plus c est vieux plus c est meilleur
