Loose Ends Ain't no joke!! This hits hard!! I remember when this came out!! Everybody in the U.S. wanted too sound like them!! Ask Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis!!
@@StylistecS I wouldn't say copy but they took elements of their sound and created their own thing but apparently Jam & Lewis were pissed off with them, so gave song Human to human League, or something like that. Human league were on same label as loose ends
Oh , when THIS joint hit, EVERRRRRRRRBADY and they MAMA,S wanted a piece of this one, tried to COPY that sound, even Jam and Lewis wanted to do something with them and they are the ULTIMATE producers in this business but they WANTED some.
This is a very underrated group....one of the best of the 80s. Certainly they were stylish and had their own flavor. Really was different from anything that was being produced in the states at that time....and honestly some people started biting their sound.
@@karenmurray4608 I hate to say this but it's because of a situation like that I even exist I was a baby created out of that kind of thing going on if it had never happened I wouldn't exist yes it's wrong but I didn't do it so it's not my fault. 😁
Don't you notice there were alot of R & B Trios over the Years. The Undisputed Truth, Shalamar (who were created on Soul Train US), The Hues Corporation, Odyssey, and them.
It may be hard to get the Rights let alone an Interview. They are British as you already know. I saw a Documentary called The Big Reunion where they reunite alot of Boy Bands/Girl Groups from the late 1990's/early 2000's and there were alot of Amazing R & B Acts. Another Level, The Honeyz, Eternal, & Damage. Check them out they were really good.
I saw an interview Carl gave and he said it's Caren Wheeler from Soul II Soul singing on this song. Jane kept giving excuses about not wanting to damage her vocals "per doctor's orders" so they had Caren come in and finish the song.
This track by the original line-up of Loose Ends was one of the last hits the original group had on their last studio album together 'The Real Chuckeeboo' in 1988. Not only were the group still coming out with the hits they (as you can see from this music video) had truly mastered the art of performance in a music video. The Real Chuckeeboo's music videos represented a time where the creativity of music videos were there for the group to have the finest representation in visual music videos that the group had made so far in their music career. It was such a shame that personal problems in the group made the group split up after this studio album was made. They are still though, the finest Black-British Soul Group that the United Kingdom has ever produced.
that was the bomb... used to blast that in my car and on my 80s HI-FI... I had the vinyl and CD version... it has walked away from my possession now. lol.. the long version really hits...
You know you're a diehard Loose Ends fan when you gotta have both the album and video version of songs on your ipod. I will never get tired of listening to these songs!
The sad thing about this great song was that it was one of the last GREAT songs that they preformed together. Between 1982-89 Loose Ends, Janet Jackson, Cameo, The Gap Band, Shalamar, Five Star and New Edition recorded some of the best R&B ever. Whoops.. I can't forget about The System and Lakeside.
I was heavy into British soul in the 80’s and 90’s. Soul II Soul, Loose Ends, Victoria Wilson-James, The Family Stand, Lisa Stansfield!! Ahh those were the days!
Glynn Ayers you are 1000% right. I've sent so many requests for Tv One to do an "Unsung" episode for Loose Ends. Fans would love it. Carl, Jane and Steve...we miss yall☆☆☆☆☆
This band was funky, and raw and pure! Real music right here y'all! A gift from overseas! This jam right here had that tight beat to it! Aldy Gaga, Justin Beiber, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, etc. TAKE SOME DAMN NOTES!!
That funky bass line just sneaks up on you! I was 12 or 13 when this came out in 1988? Here I am, 42, and still digging this. Always liked their videos, too. They were so cute, silly and animated. British Soul at it's BEST! That BASS LINE, tho! Daaaaayyyyuuuummm!!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸
@@poisoninyourcoffeewolvesof5182 right they are still timeless their songs still come on the radio almost 35 years later I was just a little girl growing up in this era although they came out in the early 80 's before I was born.
this has always been one of my favorites - the song is timeless - but never saw the video for this until just now - makes me like the song even more! and Traci750 is right they don't make music like this no more - Loose Ends is a class act...
MCCHORD AFB, WASHINGTON 1986, SO MANY GOOOOOD MEMORIES RUNNING ACROSS THIS SONG AND VIDEO...I HAD THIS CASSETTE TAPE and there is a longer version of this song....I need to find it!
Oh this song brings back memories of high school! Love the bass line and the synthesizer. Love looking at these 3 in this video--visually entertaining and I'm dancing right along with them! Thank you for posting this!
WOW! I never saw this video when the song was current. Their videos were always quirky, kinda cheap looking, but the music is fantastic and endures to this day! I have all their albums downloaded in my MP3 player! Brings back all kind of memories!
@@beverlytate8391 I'm sure all of the women wanted a shot at that right there get you some of that British love I ain't mad at ya but I hate it because I wasn't old enough to know about it 😁😁💀.
At the time of the Real Chuckeeboo Album, the group had made some of the finest music and music videos they had EVER done in the Group's music career. This is why the breakup of the group was( and still is) so disheartening.
Artists these days are too lazy to compose good music. Loose Ends, Soul2Soul and S.O.S BAND were top-notch. They really entertained us in the 80s and 90s.
Sooo sad that this song was the beginning of the end for them. Prolly 'cuz it was such a departure from what the fan base had come to expect from them. They're still one of my all-time faves from the 80s and beyond.
oh man, -mr bachelor- i'm really diggin this mix and video, it's the original group, listenin from atlanta, at work on a wednesday mornin june 2015, this mix brings back so many great memories of family once all in GA, hee hee
@user-iv8hm6ui4l Yes indeed...a huge fan. Dang I can only name 5, lol 😆!! That's hard but here it goes...... 5.) Don't Be A Fool 4.) Watching You 3.) Stay A Lil While Child 2.) Hangin On A String & 1.) You Can't Stop The Rain / Slow Down...sorry I have two #1's, lol!!! What about yourself?
Would love to see Loose Ends, Soul 2 Soul & Brand New Heavies do a tour together. Now that would be a show to remember!
I would sell a kidney for those tickets!
British soul in one concert that would be insane!!lol
That would be all end all!! Did it all!!!!??
@@dariusmassie2108 yesssss it would be something to see.
Just let me know when you go 👍😜
We watched this as a boy on a programme called Video Soul, presented by the in-imitable Donnie Simpson. Fun times.
Still jamming to this song in 2024...
Loose Ends Ain't no joke!! This hits hard!! I remember when this came out!! Everybody in the U.S. wanted too sound like them!! Ask Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis!!
rpink7 OK Slow Down!!!
actually they copied Jam and Lewis using the same TR808 drums
You made this up lol
@@StylistecS I wouldn't say copy but they took elements of their sound and created their own thing but apparently Jam & Lewis were pissed off with them, so gave song Human to human League, or something like that. Human league were on same label as loose ends
They recorded most of their stuff in Philadelphia.
This beat is different than what we were hearing in the 80’s. Way ahead of its time.

This world was never worthy of Jane Eugene. ❤❤❤
She should squash thr beef and get back with the Ends.
Seriously!!❤❤
"You said you were single I see now that you lied to me - so how is your WIFE is she enjoying your single life" CLASSIC LINE
Sounds like the anthem for women who have been deceived by married men.

@@karenmurray4608 right he probably lied and told her he wasn't married.
@@musiclover-cn7tb It is not the children's fault. The thing is that men need to held accountable for stepping out on their wives.
@@karenmurray4608 thanks for seeing it that way 💯.
TVone should do a Unsung about them.. One of my favorite groups of all time
I agree!
Glynn, I've been saying the same thing for 3 years my brother. They were absolutely incredible right?
Don't you notice there were alot of R & B Trios over the Years. The Undisputed Truth, Shalamar (who were created on Soul Train US), The Hues Corporation, Odyssey, and them.

Glynn Ayerm
Loose Ends was waayyy ahead of their time. Hella good music
I do agree with you there.
Exactly
waaaaay ahead.Even those videos were amazing. THe industry slept on them & gave Wham, Duran Duran , Banararam a free pass. is it Race -oh YES.
Loose Ends have the best bass lines of all times & this is one of them!!
It makes me wonder was it a BASS guitar cause it,s DEEP but not OVERPOWERING the entire RHYTHM, It,s TIGHT AND RIGHT, What you think Man??
Yes!!
Still a banger in 2024!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Still the jam after all these years 🔥♠️♠️♠️♠️👍🏾
I saw an interview Carl gave and he said it's Caren Wheeler from Soul II Soul singing on this song. Jane kept giving excuses about not wanting to damage her vocals "per doctor's orders" so they had Caren come in and finish the song.
Wow!! I didnt know this
I swear this song never gets old. Heck I never get tired of listening to Loose Ends. I still groove with their music in the car and at work. Classic
This track by the original line-up of Loose Ends was one of the last hits the original group had on their last studio album together 'The Real Chuckeeboo' in 1988.

It was such a shame that personal problems in the group made the group split up after this studio album was made.
They are still though, the finest Black-British Soul Group that the United Kingdom has ever produced.

Well said man !!!
+Roger Howard (StevietheWonder) : true!
Thanks for the information so true
Between them , Soul 2 Soul, Linx and Imagination....But yeah...they're waaaay up there
I saw them in Chicago about six years ago, although of course, not the original lineup.
Some of the finest, funkiest dance tracks of the '80s came from Loose Ends...Jane Eugene and her posse were da bomb!
Loved all her hats.
Loved their hats and all their hits lol❤
that was the bomb... used to blast that in my car and on my 80s HI-FI... I had the vinyl and CD version... it has walked away from my possession now. lol.. the long version really hits...

Loose Ends the best in the business back then hit after hit
Played this when I was playing TMNT on SPNES growing up
Classic song and line from the 80's....so how is your wife, is she enjoying your single life.
Used to rock this song in college!!
At 0:07 dude is rockin' Pharell's hat 25+ yrs earlier than Pharell!
The group was British so I would not be surprised if one of the group members got that from Vivian Westwood.
Thought I was the only one who saw that
@@andrewmiller2321 I always noticed Carl's hats and even Jane's hats were always catchy.
@@Soulthinker2007 or Phillip Treacy.
Roland D-50 in the house. I still have mine, and it sounds great now in music composition.
Omg I was looking for this video for the longest & I didn't know the name of the video. I was soooo young when this came out. Man, how time flies.
