It is very sad that a group of all talented young women could not hold on and stay together and stay focused as ONE. They all complimented each other. I love them💯💕🏆 "I MISS YOU" KLYMAXX😘
😊 My momma put me on them!!!! 😁 can see us NOW they made Our time together Extra special We would be dancing ALL around the house!!! 🤭 Thanks Klymaxx 🙋🏾♀️
The way Klymaxx literally came apart at the seams is so tragic. They couldn't see the potential they had if they stayed together??? It makes me respect EWF, Stones, and a few other acts that have stood the test of time as a group for decades. When you reach worldwide success the egos can go through the roof
If you watch this series _Unsung,_ you will notice a similar pattern with these funk bands. Business people start whispering in each member's ear: "you can be bigger if you go solo." What they really mean is "I can get a bigger slice of _your_ pie if you go solo." It's not so surprising. Music money can be fickle, especially when split six ways…
1985 was the era of great R&B music I was 23 years old best time in my life it was much simpler gas was about 1.25 food didn’t cost much like now women were fine as wine. Miss them days
@@MastersGraduate2023 They are all alive as of today. Joyce and Bernadette are still working as musicians. Lorena is a homemaker who occasionally does music. Lynn and Robbin are living their lives off stage. All 5 of them currently communicate, more now than before, as they are in a legal suit against Cooley, who is still pursuing sole use of the name Klymaxx…All.THESE.Years.LATER…STILL.
@@DEEDEEEason Thank you for providing detailed Information. It is sad they are still have this issue against Cooley. I watched Unsung & I saw the tension. 💔I love positive upbeat legendary great bands. I hope they will solve their differences.💖
Thanks for sharing the video. #KLYMAXX forever. Joyce Irby was/is my favorite. She, Bernadette and COOLEY are still performing separately. Lorena, Lynn and Robbin are good...living life and doing their own things unrelated to music.
WOW 👏 I was about 15 when 🤔 they came out. They were totally Badazz and that Era consisted of Klymaxx, the MaryJane Girls, Vanity, Appalonia 6, they were Awesome.
I was a freshman in college when "Men All Pause" came out. I'll be honest though, my favorite song was "Good Love" in 1990. That beat was, as we used to say back then, phat!
What?? Klymaxx was hot! In my error we all loved this group, and they made a permanent mark so they should all be proud of themselves, nothing lasts forever, they gave us great music that is timeless. If they ever got back together to do a tour I would definitely buy a ticket and hopefully be able to tell them how they made the music us ladies needed and loved, it gives a since of woman power and confidence. They did a fantastic job!
Klymaxx is so classic!!! I wasn't even born when they came out. I was maybe 2 years old when I Miss You debuted. But my parents always played their music so I'm VERY familiar with their music!!! 💯 ❤
RECIPE FOR ALL AN GIRL BAND: 1. Women who have been taught their values since they were little girls. 2. Women who were taught since they were little girls to respect other women 3. Women who see the value in other women, and know how to move past simple disagreements 4. Women who understand that each woman brings something different BUT necessary to the table 5. Women who understand they have no need to be jealous/envious because they’ve been taught to be at peace in their own lanes. 6. Women who know that sleeping with record producer/manager is taboo 7. Women who do not allow outsiders to tell an individual, “you’re the star of the group you should leave the others and go solo.“
My fave girl group of all time. And all talented. When egos get in the way it is heartbreaking but if they could just all love on each other like they really did in the beginning then I think would be a good thing to help them heal.
OMG!! Robbin was the "Cute One" for me back in the day. She looks like she's been in a dark place for a while. I'm praying for my teenage crush's health. 💌
Listen, I love them! My favorite song is “Say Yes”, this is my cleaning house song, over and over again…🎶 (yall see what I did with that last line, lol)
I think she was NOT trying to steal it. To be fair, they ALL left and she was one of the ones that was stuck, left holding the bag. I mean, what else do you want. It sounds like they were mad or upset that they didn't think of it. But like she said, it can be 6 Klymaxx groups and they can all get paid...I don't get why and what the root of it was. THEY LEFT!
That’s why it’s so important that we enjoy the moment. When it’s gone, it’s gone. This band was there for a season, as are all of them. Great group though.
In the 80s I became fierce because of the freedoms I found in this group Klymaxx and people like Shiela E. They are awesome and paid the price but they need to know how important their contributions to music and the Blqck community are… I’m 63 now and still fierce! And I don’t plan to quit…..I’m sure you ladies can outcast these groups today…. I WILL FOREVER LOVE YOU🥰 THANK YOU✌🏽♥️😇🙏🏾🩸🪶✝️💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐✌🏽
We still feel it in 2024 the men all pause cause I remember my mom playing it and I am walking in the room like I was old enough to be walking in the club 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂now I am grown I own the room when I walk in 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wutang Clan! A Rap Group Consisting of 9 Mcees, from 2 Staten Island Projects, that was able to have Solo Careers and STILL come together, as a Group, and Stay Relevant. THAT is The Difference between Men and Women.
If *KLYMAXX* had just keep that attitude vibe only for their acts on stage and NOT within the Group, then this Female Band could have survived through the years being still on top as a homage for all female bands today and yesteryear ...🎉👍🏿🌟¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Crazy no one wanted to reunite, but when homegirl started successfully doing show NOW, all of a sudden, it is a problem, and the other members now want to get together. Women smh
Hey Fam, I had a friend named Diva that played with y'all, she played any instrument from DC who was an excellent drummer that at times would come to my rehearsals and sit in on the drums. She built VW engines and had the personality of an Angel;n with that being said what bis she doing these days?
Klymaxx is legendary!!!
Brings back good old '80s memories!
Klymaxx with the head of the time. Legendary
I'm 45 and still love their music❤❤❤❤@@MonicaMariaMcLean-sh8ej
I was only 12 when men all pause came out but that song is timeless!! I love Klymaxx to this day because they proved women can do anything
Except form a band apparently!😆

@@MJBoogeyklymaxx wasnt a band?
Klymaxx is definitely one of the first groups I think of when I think of the 1980s. Good times.
SOS band, Lakeside and The Whispers are the others
Shalamar, The Time, Midnight Star, Atlantic Starr and Cameo
Cant forget Mtume
Absolutely ❤
Are most of them lesbians?
"I miss you" and "divas need love too" are my favs
@@DR-wp6gy Did someone just share this video? I’m noticing a boat load of new comments from today and the last few? Wow, I love it!
It is very sad that a group of all talented young women could not hold on and stay together and stay focused as ONE. They all complimented each other. I love them💯💕🏆 "I MISS YOU" KLYMAXX😘
When one wants this the other want something else then there's going to be problems serious problems like men groups arrogance and boldness
I miss them too klymaxx I love that song meeting the ladies room
Yeah that was too bad they couldn't stay together make more magic with their music. 🎶🎶🎶🎶
I loved Klymaxx......my little 4 years old self singing I Miss You and I'd Still Say Yes....I still love these songs.
Can't talk about 80's music without including Klymaxx ❤
Fierce!!!!!
Bernadette is just too cool. She just had that vibe💖
Great moment in history to hear their songs back in the day. Their hits will continue to live on!
I was a big fan of Klymaxx.
😊 My momma put me on them!!!! 😁 can see us NOW they made Our time together Extra special We would be dancing ALL around the house!!! 🤭 Thanks Klymaxx 🙋🏾♀️

@crnkmnky exactly i've watch a lot of unsung show and you know how it's going to end.
That entire album was fire!!

Yea they were hott 🔥 back in those days. 1985 was the year I graduated high school and they were on the radio continously
They were. Joyce and Bern are still bringing it. Those are some sexy, funky seniors.
The album meeting in the Ladies room came out when I was born 1984. A good year for music 🎶🎶🎶
I still got that 45 I miss you!!
❤❤❤❤
They proved everybody who said they wouldn't make it wrong 😆
17:52 I loved how the pictures flicked through with the rhythm of Wild Girls. I love them & hope they are fine where ever they are.

All my homies were in the “Meeting in the Ladies Room “ Popping , the video is 80’s iconic!
😎
I missed this group I wish they had stayed together. They were amazing too me
Six super talented women at a time when they were pretty much a complete rarity. Their music still lives on!
WOW 👏 I was about 15 when 🤔 they came out. They were totally Badazz and that Era consisted of Klymaxx, the MaryJane Girls, Vanity, Appalonia 6, they were Awesome.
Just had turned 16, had a car with a bad a$$ Pioneer system that was jammin Klymaxx daily !!! Bad A$$ funk band perfect for the time as well!! ❤️❤️❤️💯
These sistas were BADD!! 🗣️🎤🥁🎸🎹

I won't say 6 & 7 are "most" important, but I can think of so many artists that have fallen into those two. Getting played by the business. 😤

I hear ya
Your" COMMENT is not just for Women* Only. It speaks to all of US!!! Thanks.
@@RobertTroupe-j2m
I agree
I was in Headstart when "Klymaxx" album was released in 1986.
35:12 I used to wear the rainbow chain back in the days when I was 12 & the Ringo neon plastic bracelet bands. The 1980s.
My fave girl group of all time. And all talented. When egos get in the way it is heartbreaking but if they could just all love on each other like they really did in the beginning then I think would be a good thing to help them heal.
1 was 13 and played there songs to death ❤❤ love them
Bring back good old memories
Oh I loved them.. I wish they get some counseling or life coaching and work it out. I would love to see them in concert.
Meeting in the Ladies Room & Man Size Love are my favorite Klymaxx songs
OMG!! Robbin was the "Cute One" for me back in the day. She looks like she's been in a dark place for a while. I'm praying for my teenage crush's health. 💌
Good Evening I had a crush on her as well. She's on Faceook. She went to college and graduated with honors and a Degree in Music
She may have been through some stuff afflictions.
She just needs some teeth.
I MISS YOU is on my Mama's memorial playlist.
Yes this song helped me SO MUCH!!!
I loved this group they had so much talent/they .were an all girl band that sanged /played their own instruments
Listen, I love them! My favorite song is “Say Yes”, this is my cleaning house song, over and over again…🎶 (yall see what I did with that last line, lol)

Bernadette an Sheil E made me want one play drums. Sadly my dad said girls don’t play drums.
Thank you for uploading this!!
Unfinished Business... Name of next album😂
Klymaxx and Madame X were so sophisticated and underrated.
Bernadette and Madame X were WAY ahead of their time in 1987. One of my most favorite albums ever! 👌
LOVED their music , their energy,.and their style!!!!!❤
That’s why it’s so important that we enjoy the moment. When it’s gone, it’s gone. This band was there for a season, as are all of them. Great group though.
Ladies room is the classic song 🎉💅💃

THANK YOU✌🏽♥️😇🙏🏾🩸🪶✝️💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐✌🏽
I love that song meeting in the Ladies room.❤❤😅😅
one of my alltime favorite groups. these sistas were the baddest!
One of my favorite songs is called Good Love
We still feel it in 2024 the men all pause cause I remember my mom playing it and I am walking in the room like I was old enough to be walking in the club 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂now I am grown I own the room when I walk in 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lorraine Stewart had that baby face. Love it.
I Loved them!Jam and Lewis put those live track's behind them so they could be Free!💯🤔I know what it was!Just like all of the other Funk group's?
The Men All Pause was so Bad Ass at the time It still sounds good to me today 🔥🎤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉love THANKFUL THANKYOU QUEENS ENERGY WOMEN HONOR Y'all
Teddy Riley sound was starting with that New Jack Swang. Everyone including MJ from early to mid 80's had to reconsider there music.
I liked them
This would be a great series for nextflix
No doubt! 🎬

Sexxy is my theme song. I love klymaxx period.
Loved klymaxx that was my group
My favorite girl band.
My favorite klymaxx song is i miss you
I assumed Mr. Jackson sang, I missed you! WOW!
I’m really surprised that none of these female rappers haven’t tried to remake or sampled this record
I just put I miss you on a missing you themed playlist yesterday.
You your music is poppin when SNL spoofs your song(Meeting in the Ladies Room)
My favorite
Crazy no one wanted to reunite, but when homegirl started successfully doing show NOW, all of a sudden, it is a problem, and the other members now want to get together. Women smh
Wow, Never knew there was white woman in the group...love them.
Yeah the band was a mixed racial band and because of it, that was one of the reasons why they were called the female version of The Time.
i love this song.
Amazing group
They can klymaxx hold their own.
Always about power and money
Let's see a vid about OAKTOWN 357, another female 80's short lived Mc Hammer spin off.
Don’t slap me 👋🏾…….Cuz I’m not in the mood ‼️
Thanks for this!!!❤
Fenderella sounds like a young Michael Jackson
I love Divas need love to❤❤😊❤❤⭐️⭐️⭐️
Klymaxx was the black version of pop female group The Go-Gos
They aren't even remotely similar period Idk how you came up with that comparison 😅😅😅😅😅
@@denzibluesolinfinitymusicw6535 Exactly! Klymaxx were funky. Go Go's we're bubblegum pop!
@denzibluesolinfinitymusicwme neither😊6535
More like the female version of bands like Cameo and Lakeside.
Im glad i was in their era
I use to throw them on in my room when I was a teenager sneaking girls in my room as a kid 😂😂😂..ijs
🎤Don’t slap me, cuz I’m not in the mood

Davon, Hi. Were you able to buy this episode? I watched it couple of months back via a different source but online I saw it 🔒. I'm gonna try again.
Philo to save the day.
Klymaxx forever! Don't slap me!
The Real Klymaxx kicked ass better than the fake klymaxx featuring cheryl cooley.
Make that Lie-Maxx with Unruly Cooley
Joyce Irby do sounds a lot like Michael Jackson
This was my group😊
Live this ine song,ill play it all the time,since my brother death
