Miss. Long came in with an intoxicating androgynous swag no one was ready for. She was already on the next level in music industry. I am proud to see her in her humble state of mind. You the one girl, don't change. 💋
AS A MAN I AM SO GLAD YOU DID THIS WITH PAM...IT SPOKE TO ME ON SOOOOOO MANY LEVELS...PAM REAL SHIT IF YOU EVER READ THIS ..YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL FROM THE INSIDE OUT YOU ARE A NATURAL BEAUTY...AND ALL THEM GIRLS GETTING PLASTIC SURGERY TO BECOME BEAUTIFUL...I AM SO GLAD THAT YOU STAYED NATURAL AFTER ALL THESE YEARS....STAY BEAUTIFUL!!!
I always had respect for Ms. Pam. She was and is still is one of a kind. She had this mysterious persona that was captivating during the beginning of her music career.
WHOEVER tried to crumble Pam by trying to convince her she is ugly has absolutely terrible standards. Pamela is the epitome of beauty. She has such a beautiful presence anytime she is present. Pam has angelic vocals, you could tell she thoroughly feels music and you can tell she is about black solidarity by her loyalty and dedication with our people (b.men and b.women). She was real because as much as her impact and approach was confident and solid, she showed us vulnerability. Pamela Long for me will forever me the epitome of a beautiful woman, she contributed to my respect, appreciation and love for black women. I want to also say, we should promote and push Pam as much as we can to ensure she is enriched by us before it's too late. Also because it's what she deserves and what we would want if the shoe was on the other foot. Go listen to her new music and continue to support and promote her old music (which will help introduce her new music to people). Listen to: "Gotta be love" "Crave" "Rain" "Dealio" "No One Else" "Stay out my way" "Tell Me"
Love, love Total glad you got a chance to talk to this articulate, fierce strong woman. Pam always carries herself with intellect and class! Can't wait to see the next chapter in her life!
She has so much presence on stage and ripped and a strong melanin beautiful woman (made me up my gym game) , calm, spiritual and down to earth off stage very inspiring .
Thank you for sharing this interview, I am glad Pamela had the strength and courage to share her journey. I am glad she didn’t allow the devil to continue to lie and abuse her. God’s Love will always lift us out of the darkness into the LIGHT.
Wow!! Pam truly spoke to my soul I had chills at certain points! Total and SWV always had that east coast around the way girl swag I loved it! You are also an excellent interviewer and very nice on the eyes 😍 wishing you much success! ♥️
Loved You Ladies back in the 90s Im serious and I wanna say PAM YOUR VOICE WAS EVERYTHING AND I WANT ALL OF TOTAL TO KNOW WE MISS U AND WE STILL LISTEN TO YOU ALL OF U ALLS HITS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
She is a natural beauty and regal you can see and feel her power on stage. So sad insecure people feel they have to put people down to make themselves feelgood at other peoples expense misery like company crabs in a barrel.
@@miystiqueskillz2233 people cannot keep using contracts for an excuse to keep messing over people. Are they going to put in that contract that they going to b******* people hell no. I don't care what that contract says you still owe people money regardless. And on top of that he allegedly took $30 million dollars from TLC they was not on bad boy that money he got from Clive Davis that was TLC money
Wow D, listening to Pam tell the story of how she wrote the book is soooo familiar. OBEDIENCE IS KEY!!!!!! I didn't even have a job when I published. God said do what I told you and I'll take care of the rest
Back in the day I never thought she was “UGLY” I actually wanted her swag. I use to pretend I was her in the mirror singing “What about us” and pretending to be in the video . Lolololol I miss my childhood in the 90😭😭
I have fallen in love with Pam's spirit. I can tell she has been on a true journey with Christ. I need to read her book. She is very captivating and pure in her intentions. I pray she continues on her journey and she has inspired me to get back to my love of Christ after watching her on the show Encore. I pray she reads this and knows how much I loved Total and how proud of her. She has always been beautiful to me by the way.
My sister you have blessed my soul i am a man and was broken as well and fell for the same with my family and looked for God's forgiveness you r beautiful woman of the most high
Pamela Long: It can’t be matched when you obtain something ❤️ I say out of all the things done up to This Moment where the eyes open is the Perfect Purpose. Pam your testimony is life and love 🙏🏽
"Can't You See" isn't Total's first video. Their first video was on Video Music Box, it aired once. And I'm just guessing, but it looked like it was filmed on the rooftops of Mt. Vernon buildings.
This was a beautiful interview with her. I always wanted to get to know on her a deeper level than what we perceived her to be. I would never fathomed she dealt with self esteem issues. I always thought she was beautiful. After this interview I am evident she still is.
What a powerful interview! I always wondered what happened to total but glad to see she left the music industry and focused on the Lord. May God continue to bless her.
Sorry Pam you had to grow up around people who put you down because they don’t like themselves. They took their hate out on you. Ugly people call people ugly. You’re beautiful 🤩 uniqueness is a gift. When you stand out from the rest people don’t see that as a blessing but it is. Also people tend to put dark skin women down. If you was light skin, we wouldn’t even be having this conversation. Black people have to do better uplifting their dark skin sisters. Especially black men, not all. But I’m dark skin and I had a dark skin man maybe one shade lighter than me ask me do I like being dark skin? I was shocked but of course I answered because I love being dark skin. Pam your complexion is beautiful and you have a beautiful smile. Keep shining! Let your haters be your motivators.
I acually thought Pam was beautiful. Her body stature was on fleet. I really thought she was the one that stood out amongst the group although the other ladies were beautiful too.
Great interview D! Pam was my favorite from Total and they were one of my favorite groups in the 90s. She still got it and I can’t wait to get her book. I’m subscribing to your channel too. Are you a Pisces D?
P Diddy didn't admit how good they were in their faces because he wanted to see how desperate they were. He signed a lot of his artist when they were in desperate situations. That's how they got horrible deals.
Close. Label execs won't show interest initially to keep the artist humble & cripple them mentally. It's a power play against the artists, their mgmt, and other label execs "poachers" especially, to make the group look whack. It prevents arrogance & bidding wars. They could negotiate better deals overnight with other labels on the strength of bragging about Puffy showing excitement or interest. So disinterest is a power move that's always used.
@@chriscooks5437 to devalue black lives is a feature of this paradigm for society. It even happens on the streets as well as business so its a systemic problem...thats because the exploitation and then to capitalise off black intelligence, ability or creativity is a normal characteristic and feature of this system, it's an exhausted business model which founded this criminal enterprise/nation. Unless you are literally about and for b.people, being a capitalist it's inevitable you will exploit and abuse b.people. We are the foundation to so much wealth, we MUST organise ourselves. Is anyone interested in us organising properly? Not no BLM but the real thing?
Pamela is very pretty, very gorgeous, and has a different look, very unique. I think sometimes we see ourselves different than others do. Sometimes we are very critical of our looks, but what really counts is what the heart looks like. If the heart is not attractive, then neither are we. The devil is a liar.
I agree with you Angela, it's always refreshing and nice to see depth to human perception. It's a mostly shallow society though, there's an ocean of zombies and narcissism is rife.
Wonderful interview! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿"All I knew was to be obedient". That struck a major chord. There is so much power in the surrender. Imma have to pick up a copy.
I always thought that Pam was beautiful. But To hear to speak on it. It make me feel a certain way. I want men and women to know only God can judge your beauty. Puffy should have done right by his artists. God is so good and such a blessing
"Bad Boy: It's where careers go to die." ☝🏾 This should be the official slogan of that shark tank that Diddy calls a record label. Not only does he trap his artists in shitty contracts and take their money but notice how they never go on to thrive in their respective careers? There's no reason that Total,Carl Thomas,Shyne, Faith Evans,112 and a shitload of others that i can't think of right now,shouldn't have had wonderful prominent careers. He takes our best and brightest and crushes them. Craig Mack was reduced to living as recluse in some unknown convent until he died and what did Diddy contribute?? Probably nothing. I could say a lot more but I'm more interested in Pam😊
@@keepfiringmedia exactly I was going to say the same thing. That is most labels. Diddy is just one of the more visible record executives. So he is more scrutinized.
Funny Pam had masculine (strong) persona BUT I never suspected her as gay like someone would do today … I swear when they song come on I do the infamous total PAM dance
Beautiful 🌹 soul classic music talking in this video feminine guy strong features you got fame but no>)))))) money 💰 just like Ciara just like t-bonz you want to say your man we all know Hollywood I'll switch up great deceivers on all level

I always considered Pam the lead of the group.
She was
Well duh.

I was sooooo in love with Pam. Her style. Dancing and she was dark skinned. Laaaawd
Pam had the moves, I looked forward to seeing her dance.
She has so much presence on stage and ripped and a strong melanin beautiful woman (made me up my gym game) , calm, spiritual and down to earth off stage very inspiring .
Thank you Pam for sharing your story! It helped me confront somethings I had hidden within myself! God bless you sister!

Thank you so much for the feedback!

I stumble on this interview and I throughly enjoyed it. I must read her book.

She was SO. SWAGGY!! Well, MANY women in the 90's were
Absolutely
She is a natural beauty and regal you can see and feel her power on stage. So sad insecure people feel they have to put people down to make themselves feelgood at other peoples expense misery like company crabs in a barrel.
She’s dope..... love Total (Kima,Keisha,Pam) 👑
Thank you for such an organic and transparent interview, just
Beautiful! Be encouraged in doing good!
Praise God for the both of you!!!
Thank you so much for watching! We greatly appreciate it!
"The Encore" brought me here.
Will buy her book.
love this woman her whole persona is off the chart
This is so so damn sad that Puffy took their money 💰 just like he did his other artists.
Yes, it's unfortunate that artists tend to get the short end of the stick.
That is what he does.
It's a business and puffy can't be blamed alone if people don't read their contracts
@@miystiqueskillz2233 people cannot keep using contracts for an excuse to keep messing over people. Are they going to put in that contract that they going to b******* people hell no.
I don't care what that contract says you still owe people money regardless.
And on top of that he allegedly took $30 million dollars from TLC they was not on bad boy that money he got from Clive Davis that was TLC money
@@miystiqueskillz2233, whether they read their contract or not it's still wrong to steal people money.
Wow D, listening to Pam tell the story of how she wrote the book is soooo familiar. OBEDIENCE IS KEY!!!!!!

Wow!!
Back in the day I never thought she was “UGLY” I actually wanted her swag. I use to pretend I was her in the mirror singing “What about us” and pretending to be in the video . Lolololol
I miss my childhood in the 90😭😭
Kima,Keisha and Pam album is so underated & 🔥🔥 still
I have fallen in love with Pam's spirit. I can tell she has been on a true journey with Christ. I need to read her book. She is very captivating and pure in her intentions. I pray she continues on her journey and she has inspired me to get back to my love of Christ after watching her on the show Encore. I pray she reads this and knows how much I loved Total and how proud of her. She has always been beautiful to me by the way.
I also applaud Pam for not going out here getting plastic surgery just to feel accepted.
This is awesome! I’m so glad you interviewed her. The songs they recorded are classics and bring back the best memories
My sister you have blessed my soul i am a man and was broken as well and fell for the same with my family and looked for God's forgiveness you r beautiful woman of the most high
You need to read her book. It’s good
Pamela Long: It can’t be matched when you obtain something ❤️ I say out of all the things done up to This Moment where the eyes open is the Perfect Purpose. Pam your testimony is life and love 🙏🏽

I thought she was the prettiest and coolest in the group not to take away from the other ladies there beautiful too
Yes they're all beautiful
She have the voice
Totally girl crushed on Pam. She was TOO fly.
You're kidding. She looks like Tracey Chapman & Kevin Garnett.
@@chriscooks5437we love tearing people down on social media not into that
It's funny because everyone says the same thing..B.I.G is the G.O.A.T.
Great interview 👏🏾👏🏾!!!
Thank you for watching!
Don’t Get Me Wrong Kiesha And Kima Are FINE! But It Was Something About Pam’s Swag And Voice ‼️💯💯🥺😍
Dang I remember chopping all of my hair off because of her and that darn Toni Braxton 🤣
I WISH THAT PAM WOULD SEE HERSELF AS THE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE & OUT AWESOME GIFTED TALENTED SOUL THAT SHE IS!!![999]
Great interview
Thank you so much!
The most recognizable voice in the group and one of the most recognizable voices of the 90s
She is unique I don't think they be another Pam maybe even total she super dope
Absolutely 💯
I like this interview. The interviewer is doing a good job and I like how she is not bashing anyone and telling her wrongs....Extremely humble
Pam had all the swag!
Just Subscribed.
Make sure you bring Pam back on after she finished filming the Reality TV Series, Encore on BET.
No One Else was my jam...my Era
Still mine, and will be forever.
I still rock all total hits
What a powerful interview! I always wondered what happened to total but glad to see she left the music industry and focused on the Lord. May God continue to bless her.

Question #1 from me: Where did you find the fountain of youth???? (She’s beautiful!!!)
Very good interview.... very well done.. great questions.
I remember Terri Robinson of Terri & Monica. Their debut “Systa” was so dope, I didn’t know she was killing them with the pen
I could listen to Pam all day...
Can’t you see what u do 2 me????? We love 💕 u pamela!!! Wow 😮.
I am so thankful that this God-Gifted talented woman named Pamela Long is my cousin and I love her so very much.
I acually thought Pam was beautiful. Her body stature was on fleet. I really thought she was the one that stood out amongst the group although the other ladies were beautiful too.
Pamela Long is A Sweet Woman
Yes she is!
My People's 4Life...I Love That Woman

I liked her out of all of total.
Good Interview...

Can't you see is the most Nostalgic R&B song from the 90s
I always found her pretty (the eyes) and the most talented of the group Total!
