yes i just got a short for michael jackson and listened to his older young songs im not old but brought back so much childhood memories and i thought about this gem
This brought back some amazing memories. At age 12, I just met my father. Moved from Philly to South Miami Beach to live with him, great experience. Dad transitioned at the age of 86..Love you dad ❤️❤️❤️ Aug 2, 1937-June 6th 2024 💫💫💫💫💫
@@luggerphilippe8409 DAMN. now i can hear “every little step” ALL UP IN this since reading this comment. never noticed it before in all these years. it’s so obvious now that i know. 😅
This video and song brings back memories for me. Tajh and Bilal are good friends with me and my family. I had the pleasure of meeting Hakeem once through Bilal in 2008.
I remember when I was a toddler loving this song when this song came out I was 4 and begged my parents for this tape because I loved the song that much😅❤. To this day I still love this song and will play it on repeat a few times over😅
1988 it was for me and the boys had me and my friends dancing!! I saw their biography on UNSUNG and, despite what they went through, they DID make their mark!!! Dial M for memories and I'll be happy in heart!
Anybody crossing their fingers that this sweet gentle old ass security guard is still alive in 2021? Or is that just the type of shit only I think about?
I don't know why this song fell onto my heart, but man if it ain't still precious and awesome. Everytime I hear and see this video, I cannot help but see them as a young and upcoming Troop. It's Troop starting as the youngest group ever seen.
They never really stopped making music. In Africa, they just changed their name to Suns of Light and after growing up, they did solo albums and produced for other people. In fact, Hakeem made the hit song Mama Africa for Akon.
I was four years old my older sister had this album . I remember we use be in the living room haveing a good time playing record s .I remember we saw them a the .Martin Luther King Jr rally In 1988 .I still remember what color suits they had on.They was cute boys.We still have this album.Who still have there album?
I was 10 when this came out it took some time to get the dance steps down with my siblings and everytime it came on we would sing and dance to this. Good times even better memories, I haven't danced like that since. To old now as well as disabled I became tense as I got older.
Still jamming on this my childhood days all my elementary classmates loved ❤them matter fact 1 of them played on couple movies Wildcats with Goldie Hawn , Ernest Goes to Camp
Just reminiscing how young I was back then and looking back at there video now as an adult it just brings back very good memories because they don't make videos like this anymore, these little kids were my age group I swear as a child I had the biggest crush on Hakeem growing up and every single time that they played "Dial My Heart on the radio I would go crazy and whenever they showed their video on TV I would turn the volume up. Oh how I wish that I can travel back in time to my youth when life was so much simpler then.
New Jack Swing at its finest! Babyface and L.A. Reid had some of the best songs in that genre. The Boys were one of my favs, especially Hakeem and Khiry! Takes me back to my elementary days! Good times, man!
I was in love with Hakeem during those days 😂 were the same age . These brothers parents moved them to the Gambia Africa while they was still young, its said their parents didn't want them growing up in the racism of America . Hakeem has a few kids in Africa
Merci pour l'info car sans le savoir je ressentais une fibre africaine en eux ce qui me connectait à eux surtout Hakeem qui a le même âge que moi. Avant eux j' étais New Eddition Boby . Une pensée profonde à mon regretté ami d'enfance Francis AKA alias SISKO . Nostalgie personnel mon frère ...
I remember running up my mother's ameritech phone bill dialing 1800 THE BOYS!! They had commercials running across the tv every hour. I completely ignored 1.99 per minute! Let's just say I was grounded for months doing chores to pay my mother back! ❤😂
Just saw a throwback pic of them and this brought back memories 😂 Yall know we were tryin to hit those moves 2:073:053:245:30 😂💃🏽🥰and I’m too tickled at the Bobby Brown like pump dance 2:054:00 so this THAT era 😂💯 And they were gon hit them backflips 3:455:00🤸🏽♀️🔥4:35🥰 #80sBabies
How do I still remember every word of this song??? I knew it was about to be on when I said "HI, and I'm Bilal!" "Dial it baby, dial it! Just dial it baby, dial it!!!"
Forgot about this song 🎧 🎵 saw it on instagram and said what happened to them I was 16 when this came out and remember flipping down the street from 12-17 front flip back flips this was cool in philly
Joshum Smith from Stlouis, North America Gods, Goddess, 2024 its that kid inside of us, that feel good type of thoughts, peace and joy, life is life,smile and live, we still here, keep going
Still the jam in 2024!

HAPPY 45TH BIRTHDAY

(DECEMBER 8, 2021)
A real classic. I was 10 years old when this dropped. Me and my friends use to go crazy over them. Good memories!!
Same, 10 going on 11. 1987/88 - 1992/93 is my golden age of RnB. So many classics!
We're the same age. '79 right?
@@UGodd 78
Damn Babe , we the same age..lol 88
I got one for you.... I grew up in the Bay Area and I was in Jr. high and my buddy Ozzy performed this song with some buddies of his.
As a kid, those backflips were everything to me. You weren't cool unless you could flip. Good memories 😊
Factz!
I almost broke my neck trying to do one. I had cartwheels on lock, though. 😂
Real talk 😂
Remember my first time in 96 lol I was happy as hell. Never could do one without hands though
@@Whitechapelchap unacceptable, we wouldve cooked you, out there doing cartwheels while we hitten combinations.
I was 15 years old in 1988 when this track dropped. Now 36 years later it’s 2024, I’m 51 and this track still hits!
👍
I feel you... I was 14
I was 15🤔🥰🎼🔥💯
I was 6
On Da Strength 💪🏿
Brougham 👊🏿
They was my age then. I look up to New edition but these guys made me wanna do music. ABC made me love the music and Kriss Kross was who I mimicked 😂😂
That's awesome
Same!!!!!!! Talent. Feel good music!!!
Now...whew. Mumbling, drugs, no talent, all music sounding alike....sigh. Miss this
Baby New Edition. These cats were so dope to me when I was a kid.
Somebody said they sound like a "Lil New Edition" ... I hear it. 😆
That’s I was thinking the first time I heard them.
A lot of groups tried to menic the N.E. sounds and look. Micheal Bivens even tried to recreate it with the group Another Bad Creation.
Nah
It's the beat only
Miss these days!!! They were so dope
Can you feel the Babyface production? Reminds me of a Bobby Brown jam.
Or a Karyn White one too
100% my exact thoughts
This brought back some amazing memories. At age 12, I just met my father. Moved from Philly to South Miami Beach to live with him, great experience. Dad transitioned at the age of 86..Love you dad ❤️❤️❤️
Aug 2, 1937-June 6th 2024 💫💫💫💫💫
God bless you ❤🙏
Sending my condolences 🙏❤️
2022 - I am still listening, playing in events, parties and so!
November 2023
March 2024!! Let’s gooo!
This is classic! These little guys were super talented. Dancing singing and even wrote some of their songs.
This was my favorite song when I was a teenage in the 80's!!
These were the days..☺️😊..good times and good music 🎶
This still smacks in 2024!
Their like lil Bobby Brown's 😍😍😍
That's because l.a Reid and Babyface wrote this song and wrote every little step I take by bobby brown..
Lolll
@@luggerphilippe8409 DAMN. now i can hear “every little step” ALL UP IN this since reading this comment. never noticed it before in all these years. it’s so obvious now that i know. 😅
9 year old me would wait until 4:30 just to hear the "dial it...." part.
Dial it baby dial ittttttt lol my ish. Use to pick this record every Saturday morning as my pick
That part alone just was so 🔥🔥🔥🔥 to hear from Taj and Hakeem
You must be Bilal's age, like me.
That’s my part! Dial it 🎤🎶
Lol me at 4 😂
2024 ~ Classicz like this will never die... 📞💕
HAPPY 47TH BIRTHDAY
HAKEEM ABDUL- SAMAD
(MARCH 26, 2022)
Took me way back miss these days....smh
This video and song brings back memories for me. Tajh and Bilal are good friends with me and my family. I had the pleasure of meeting Hakeem once through Bilal in 2008.
The Abdulsmad Brothers are Cool. They hail from Carson City/Los Angeles.
I remember when I was a toddler loving this song when this song came out I was 4 and begged my parents for this tape because I loved the song that much😅❤. To this day I still love this song and will play it on repeat a few times over😅
1988 it was for me and the boys had me and my friends dancing!! I saw their biography on UNSUNG and, despite what they went through, they DID make their mark!!! Dial M for memories and I'll be happy in heart!
Aww man watching this takes me back too being 11 years old in 1988 watching this music video on Video Music Box
I love their choreography.
Anybody crossing their fingers that this sweet gentle old ass security guard is still alive in 2021? Or is that just the type of shit only I think about?
I don't know why this song fell onto my heart, but man if it ain't still precious and awesome. Everytime I hear and see this video, I cannot help but see them as a young and upcoming Troop.
It's Troop starting as the youngest group ever seen.
If NKOTB can come back with a Remix album, the Boyz need to come with a new album too! The first album was too dope!
You won't buy it. Lol
They never really stopped making music. In Africa, they just changed their name to Suns of Light and after growing up, they did solo albums and produced for other people. In fact, Hakeem made the hit song Mama Africa for Akon.
Man this looks so different watching this at 42 years old. Remember first seeing them on Soul Train singing romance and dial my heart.
This song brings back some memories, smh fast fwd to 2022 what happened to R&B?!
Yo this is so sick. The 4K upscaling is fantastic. This song is crazy special to me and my family, thanks for this 💚
I love this video because it reminds of the time when we dressed our sons like little men!
This song is the jam from back in the year 1988 and this song is going hard all the time
I was four years old my older sister had this album . I remember we use be in the living room haveing a good time playing record s .I remember we saw them a the .Martin Luther King Jr rally
In 1988 .I still remember what color suits they had on.They was cute boys.We still have this album.Who still have there album?
Well, it's a digital copy but I still listen to this album. The Boys were my favorite when I was a kid.
I was 12 years old when this came out still listen to it
MY ERA!!!! I'M 44 AND STILL NO THE LYRICS WORD FOR WORD!! I HAD A HUGE CRUSH ON HAKEEM LOL
Always felt like taj was the most underrated one in the group. Def stood out on his own!
He had "the look," If you ask me. And I'm not just saying that because people told me we looked alike back then. Lol
I think he's actually the star.
Looks, personality and can hit notes.
Agreed. And if you listen to their 3rd album “the saga continues” he CLEARLY had the best voice and killed every song. Wish he woulda had a solo album
Yes. I have been looking at all their stuff. As an adult, I realized he was the most talented .
This was beautiful then and still is today! Such talent in these boys! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I used to watch these boys doing shows and flipping at Venice beach.
I had an acquaintance from Carson City who used to see them there, too.
I remember when this song remixed with Bobby Brown’s Every Little Step, song starts at 2:26. My jam.
Both produced by Babyface and La Ried.
Awwww my childhood ❤
Wow I can’t believe this showed up on my feed what a treat. Although the video doesn’t look like how I remember but wow 🇿🇦 ❤
I bought this cassette tape with my b day money when it was released. Still play the songs today. Crazy & Happy were my favorites!
Great quality thanks 🙏🏿
This one has really held up well. Great chorus. Super clean production.
Oh man,
the 80s and 90's were the best! So many great memories from that time.
I was 10 when this came out it took some time to get the dance steps down with my siblings and everytime it came on we would sing and dance to this. Good times even better memories, I haven't danced like that since. To old now as well as disabled I became tense as I got older.
