Keeping it real, I was in the music industry back then...and Lisa Lisa's look and style opened the door wide for Paula Abdul and Pebbles. PROMISE! AND the snippet about "Head to Toe" sounding like a Supreme song....E'rrrrbody was saying that.
i never heard any latin beats in they music, as usual they influences was blk american music like r&b, rap & funk , im still shook that most NY actors & rappers have caribean backgrounds 😂
People forget, that besides the great Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam another great Latin star existed in 1986, & that was Sa-Fire. Her album was a great Freestyle one, & she had a really distinctive voice. Thanks for putting this together.
Saw an interview where she said she had cancer back then and traveled with a special treatment bag but never told anyone. Glad that she was ok and still performs today.
I danced to all their songs when I was growing up. At the clubs. All my albums were taken but still have the long version LP of Lisa Lisa and the cult jam, " I wonder if I take you home. "
4:00 this is the most 1980s look I've ever seen. That outfit is everything. When I was a little girl back then, I'd watch music videos and draw outfits like that with colored pencils. This stuff makes me so nostalgic 😊
My parents had me in their late teens, early 20s in 1982. They took me to Great America to see Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam when I was5 years old. It was so cool being up close to the stage, singing away to all their songs. Very cool memory I have 🤩
From the prospective of a young music fan who had the ✨Great!✨ experience of the 80’s, it looked like Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam and the group Full Force was one big happy family of extremely talented people. Their work looked and sounded like… the “Future” at its best.
I'm 57, grew up in queens, left NYC 30+ YEARS AGO and LL is a staple in my playlist. ❤❤❤. That being said i was always confused about Full Force and why they were there just likd that.
I remember hearing Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam’s first song I Wonder If I Take You Home on Elliot Place in the Mount Eden section of the Bronx in the spring of 1985 when I was four years old 😊. They are indeed Latin Freestyle’s first supergroup!!!
I saw them in Kansas City in 86. And I can testify to what the video is saying about when they toured. I was with 2 women who had hooked with 2 band members (not Cult jam) so we went back to their hotel room to chill with the band. Never saw Lisa, Mike or Alex but I asked the bass player if he could get their autograph on a hotel stationary. The bass player was only 19. So these guys in the band were young. They could go out but Lisa, Mike and Alex were on lockdown.

She and Miami Sound Machine earned worldwide success with their 1985 single "Conga", which became Estefan's signature song and led to Miami Sound Machine winning the 15th annual Tokyo Music Festival's grand prix in 1986. In 1988, she and Miami Sound Machine achieved their first number-one hit with "Anything for You".
@@rrubio6660 I Wonder If I Take You Home" is a song recorded by Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam with Full Force in 1984. Record Producer Kenny Beck discovered the song in a "discard bin" at Personal Records[where?] while looking for songs to include on his debut album with the label. He was so impressed that he created a compilation break-dancing album, CBS/SuzyQ, just to include the song. He released the album in Europe on CBS Records, and it immediately gained popularity as a dance hit with club DJs there. Soon American DJs began playing the song in the United States on Columbia Records. After the song received heavy play from these DJs, "I Wonder If I Take You Home" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for one week in June 1985.[
Ahh brings back sooo many memories. Loved them mucho! I still listen to Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam! Only thing is when I get up to dance these my nephews laugh and say "What is that move!? haha. Bless you for this!
Lisa Lisa used to be on the radio and she ruled the airwaves,until the early 1990s. Around 1990 , everyone was talking about this new female singer with an amazing voice. Mariah Carey took over the reins of popular music and has been on the record charts since the 1990s. I didn't know Lisa Lisa had cancer, and I'm glad she went into remission. I would love to see these two talented ladies perform in concert together. They have talent and both can sing without autotune. We love you Lisa Lisa, and I love you from head to toe and I wonder if I can take you home. I'm lost in emotion and all cried out over you.
I loooooved Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam! I went to a concert in Philly and where I sat they were coming on stage and I got to shake her hand! I was sooo excited! Lisa was the first to rocked that shaved hair on the side I loved it!
Lisa-Lisa was my 1st celebrity crush when I was 14 in 1984!!! I Wonder If I Take You Home & Can You Feel The Beat are still timeless bangers!!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
I noticed the 2 fine dudes in the "band," but that's because I'm a woman. I'm still listening in 23 and will still listen beyond as this is my generations music!
First, so happy she beat her cancer 🥰🙏🌈, second, from madonna to something called taylor swift, none could touch Lisa Lisa and her recording, she might have done just a few album's, but man were they memorable, many blessings 🙏🥰🌈
Mad slick of Full Force to make themselves part of the band. As a kid I thought they were a band of their own. Collaboration with Lisa and the boys 😮🎙️😆
GREAT STORY AT 10 YRS OLD MY MOTHER USED TO TAKE ME TO SEE LISA LISA N UTFO. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT RAP WAS. BUT NOW AT 47. MAKES ME TEARY EYED FOR WHERE HIP HOP HAS BECAME. HAPPY 50 YRS OF. HIP HOP. 1❤
Omg this was so Good. I grew up with Lisa lisa and cult jam, full force. This brought back so many memories. Thank you. I love how she got her Fair tail after ALL. LOVE YOU LISA.❤💯🙏👍
i just realized how much Alison Moyet modeled her look and vibe from lisa lisa and Cult Jam. She even has a song called "All Cried out". Not to take anything away from her because she is amazing and an icon herself.. but it definitely needs to be pointed out!
Omg I loved Lisa Lisa when they came out their songs were all great fun danceable tracks they ruled the radio for years and she said at a show one time years later after all that success all the number ones the record company doesn’t give us the time of day.. it’s too bad they were really talented.
One of my favorite childhood memories is dancing around a Pizza Hut in Columbus, GA to "Head to Toe" Lisa Lisa was beyond the shit when she came out.... the music blew your heart and mind....
I hate to break it to the Cult Jam and Full Force dudes, but fans didn't care to see them. Lisa was a busty, super-hot n' spicy Latina with a beautiful singing voice. She is the sole reason the band became successful. Sex appeal sells records faster than anything else I can think of and believe me Lisa had plenty of it. The dudes in the band should have just accepted the fact she was the front runner. They should have been happy with their place in the band and let Lisa continue to be the cash cow for all of them. I get it, we all want to be the star/leader of the band. The truth is not everyone is cut out to be.

I still love "I Wonder if I Take you Home". It's one of my favorite songs from the 80's. 😊
Classic!
Yes. I wonder if I take you home. First grown woman song I loved.
As a 12 year old in 1985, I wonder if I take you home video, use to arouse me. Lisa had on that shirt with her tata's jumping around, good God!!!!

O yeah!!!
The only difference between her and J Lo is that Lisa Lisa has actual talent and could actually sing.
Facts

Also she isn’t desperate like JLO.
@@TheCheekymonkey212 Exactly J-ho tries to hard to showcase talent she doesn't have unlike Lisa she can actually sing, it just flows out of her
Hustlers is jlos autobiography.

Wow!
I can see her style influencing Paula Abdul. But Pebbles?
@@vanityposh6348 The Full Force production team behind her was parallel to that of LA and Face with Pebbles.
i never heard any latin beats in they music, as usual they influences was blk american music like r&b, rap & funk , im still shook that most NY actors & rappers have caribean backgrounds 😂
Defintely true! @@thegrandcanyonisegypt2489
Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam made my teenage years awesome. I still jam to their music. They have opened a lot of doors
Yes they definitely did💯
I wasn't a teenager yet but they are definitely on the soundtrack to my life
Shameful, Lisa is so UNDERRATED ❤⏰🧠
Definitely agree 💯
According to who
Lisa Lisa is the truth!!! Omg I was too young to realize how fine she was
"Wonder if I take you home" is still my favorite.
That jam BUMPS no matter when and where it's played!
That Summer You couldn't go anywhere without hearing that Song
People forget, that besides the great Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam another great Latin star existed in 1986, & that was Sa-Fire. Her album was a great Freestyle one, & she had a really distinctive voice. Thanks for putting this together.
Thank you for watching have a great night 🙌🏾🙏🏽
I loveeeed Sa-Fire. She did have a distinctive voice.
Saw an interview where she said she had cancer back then and traveled with a special treatment bag but never told anyone. Glad that she was ok and still performs today.
“Someone to love me for me”, has always been one of my favorites by them.
I met her decades ago at the height of her career and she was so sweet and humble. I still have the album she autographed for me. Great memories!❤
I remember seeing them open up for New Edition. I was in awe. She was/is absolutely gorgeous.
I love her music growing up in the 80s and 90s.
Yes she had it on lock in the 80s and 90s 🙌🏾
I saw them a long time ago on the same bill as Expose'. The audience couldn't stay out of our seats, we were all dancing all the time. Good times!
Those were the days🙌🏾💯🙏🏽
I danced to all their songs when I was growing up. At the clubs. All my albums were taken but still have the long version LP of Lisa Lisa and the cult jam, " I wonder if I take you home. "
Oh wow!
All Cried Out is one of my most favorite songs of all time! Ever since it came out! Im 53 now and still love it!
And don’t forget their music was played in PR 🇵🇷 too , whoever had a boombox walking down the street had it cranked up ⬆️
💯💯🙌🏾
❤❤❤😂
"Lost in Emotion" is still a favourite song of mine!
💯💯
So true, that baseline one of the best drops ever!

Surprised she never teamed up with Prince,she is right up his street
Gloria Estefan came to the music scene before Lisa. Lisa and the Cult Jam came out a couple of years later.
No sir just did a little check conga dropped in 85 , take you home dropped in 84. Although. Miami sound machine had been around as a band.

Lisa actually had talent
Facts 💯
I remember listening to All cried out over and over after my HS boyfriend broke up with me
Awwwwwww
She was one of my crushes in high school

One of my favorite bands. Use to jam heavy to Lisa in Mexico every weekend when we’d go party down in Mexicali
Nice!!
Favorite jam behind my eyes

One of my favorite childhood memories is dancing around a Pizza Hut in Columbus, GA to "Head to Toe" Lisa Lisa was beyond the shit when she came out.... the music blew your heart and mind....
The good ole days💯
I hate to break it to the Cult Jam and Full Force dudes, but fans didn't care to see them. Lisa was a busty, super-hot n' spicy Latina with a beautiful singing voice. She is the sole reason the band became successful. Sex appeal sells records faster than anything else I can think of and believe me Lisa had plenty of it. The dudes in the band should have just accepted the fact she was the front runner. They should have been happy with their place in the band and let Lisa continue to be the cash cow for all of them. I get it, we all want to be the star/leader of the band. The truth is not everyone is cut out to be.
And then when Lisa broke out on her own, what happened? Also, that sound was on its way out the door in the late 80s.
Thank you! Thank you for emphasizing Progressive Funk as Latin Freestyle.
However, the beat makers/ producers were Full Force. I'm not sure if they were inspired by Chris Barbosa's High NRG/ progressive style of composing- but it is Freestyle!
I liked Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam in 1980’s.
🔥🔥🔥
Take me home was and is my favorite, lots of good memories. Thank you for this short documentary.
