Lyrics:
My baby, he don't talk sweet
He ain't got much to say
But he loves me, loves me, loves me
I know that he loves me anyway
And maybe he don't dress fine
But I don't really mind
'Cause every time he pulls me near
I just wanna cheer
Let's hear it for the boy
Oh, let's give the boy a hand
Let's hear it for my baby
You know you gotta understand
Oh, maybe he's no Romeo
But he's my lovin' one-man show
Oh, whoa, let's hear it for the boy
Who still jamming to this in 2024
Me! I’m 68!
😊
Meee
😢 0:48 me
Stopped by Arby's. Back of employee shirt says, "Lets hear it for the curls"
I started singing this song. My 20 year old didn't get it. RUclipsd the video and here we are
OMG, I was just a little girl of 6 when this came out... My beautiful baby brother had just turned 1, and I used to sing this to him and make him dance around the front room with me every time it came on the radio - it was "our song" for years! 😍 We were like a double act - we even had rhyming names (Beth and Seth!) 😂 I can still see his gorgeous smile and hear him laugh - he was such a sweet, kind little boy - but sadly he was also very poorly and had a lot of health issues, and in 1992 he died of Reye's Syndrome aged 9 (when I was 14)... When it became obvious he wasn't going to make it, I put this song on and we had one last singalong to it as he lay in the hospital bed... As the song ended, he smiled at me and held my hand, and shortly afterwards he fell asleep, and never woke up again... I'm now 44 and still miss him terribly - but as the 30th anniversary of his passing approaches, rather than sadness, the song fills me with joy and happiness, remembering all the great times we shared while he was still with us... R.I.P. Seth - LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE BOY!!! 👦
R.I.P. Seth 😇😍
😭
im so sorry for your loss
Thats so sweet RIP Seth I'm sorry

ONE OF THE FEW SONGS CELEBRATING MEN OF ALL AGES!!!💯💯💯
LET HEAR IT FOR THE BOY!!!!!🎤🎤🎤🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
LETS HEAR IT FOR THE MEN!!!!💯💯💯💯
👏🏽👏🏽
Makes you wish it was 1984, the year when a ton of great movies were released: The Karate Kid, Ghostbusters, The Neverending Story, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Beverly Hills Cop, Footloose, and my personal fave, Police Academy.
amen!!!!
Scott Hayden yessss!!
Movies that never get old!!! I can watch any 80's movie over & over and still luv em
When will RUclips let us heart ❤️ comments?
Yess!! Me and my kids always debating about the 80’s and today.. I tell them those days were the best times of my life!!
This woman deserves her flowers. It's overdue she needs to be recognized for her talents.... Amazing singer....💐💐💐
Hey, it's "Amazing" how lack of vocabulary is so common in society (ignorance, lack of education) that everyone sounds uniformly ignorant. Wouldn't you agree?
@@terryadams2652 Jeez, you woke up and chose violence.
@@terryadams2652 Terry, your saltiness is amazing
wish I grew up in the 80's with this music
💜💜💜
It's nice to see a female artist that isn't overly sexualized. Her outfit is beautiful and modest. She is not swearing or degrading anybody. In this song she is recognizing that despite some flaws her man is still amazing in her life. He is not perfect or rich, but he is still good to her.
A golden time....
Unfortunately, this is more than 30 years old. I'm not sure if this stuff sells anymore, more's the pity!
👏YASSSS 👏QUEEN 👏
I mean, one can easily say the video is about female teachers seducing their students. Some of which are pre pubescent
That's what the 80's was about my friend
It's so refreshing to hear a song supporting men from a beautiful women 2024
Indeed it is.
Anyone else is going through their favorite jams thinking about life back in the days? Please tell me I'm not the only one?✌🏼️👍🏻
Funk master fish.... OH NO YOU ARE NOT ALONE....HEYYYY
Deff not alone lol
There is no need to worry !! You are by FAR not the only one thinking about the good old days !! ( I even devote my weekly column for Z News to the era !! )
Definitely not..we all reminisce..just we dont all admit it
I'm always running across you funkmaster when I'm jamming tunes!
The people born in the 80's had the best childhood.
Born in '79, but you're totally right
Our Son in 85&Our Daughter in 88 of course their Mom me🤣Music back then&90s were the Best😍
Millennials though... 🥴🥴
@@matblack9288 LOL😂
Travis rooba 🙋🏾♀️YES WE DID ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘🥰🥰🥰🎶🎶🎶
This song reminds me so much of my son. He is very shy and has a speech impediment and slight developmental delay. He is also very intelligent and sweet. Tomorrow is his 6th birthday and I'm using this song for his slide show.
LETS HEAR IT FOR THE BOY🎁🎁🎁🎁
HAPPY BELATED BDAY,,,,YOU HAVE GREATNESS INSIDE OF YOU🎁🎁🎁

Deniece is in her '70s now. She's come a long way from being 'free' and dropping this timeless masterpiece. We should appreciate her talent
And the boy
I can't believe she's going to be 72! I hope that she's singing this song to her kids, nices/nephews, and Grandkids!!! On their birthdays! 😊
@@JR-ez3zdy'all do know she died a very long time ago right?????
@@richgod902 Are you high? She just released a new EP not even 2 years ago.
Get away 72
Man there was a lot of energy in the 80's
It's called cocaine.

HAPPY 74TH BIRTHDAY DENISE WILLIAMS🎶🎤🎵🙌🌹🫶
Omgoodness
This song came out 40 years ago. She was 34 when she made this? She looks at least 10 years younger than that in this video.
Shes an old coot
Who couldn't love the brilliant Denise Williams, but I think I'm right in saying, her last hit single in Britain. Timeless Classic.
Whattt!!! She's 74?
An amazing song about a woman celebrating her man. Not many like this will ever come after this. At least we have this beautiful number! Thank you Deniece Williams!
I miss these kinds of women....ah the 80s. lmao
I think she is celebrating all the boys in her life: her son (boy in dunce cap), her husband (man at piano) and her brother (football guy). :) There is a similar song about girls by Martina McBride that you might like called "This One's For The Girls"
Salt N Peppa " What a man"?
now all you hear is rape allegations from 40 yrs ago.
@@lemurlover7975: Ah!! The things I from Social Media. TY.
Me!!! OMG, this takes me back to my carefree teenage years. I wish I had them back! 😅
Let's hear it for Deniece, let's give this girl a hand 👏
Mabye she no juliet but she's an angel from heaven woh who woh

Listening 08-12-2024. 80's music was the best & glad I was in high school during the 80's
That’s about the most generic thing a person could say…

1980's that is!!! 📼📺📻
Who is you telling
Buy a Jewish calendar. The year is 5782.
This song makes me feel happy inside even when I feel so broken and sad inside. Thanks, Deniece.
Turn to the Lord! He will help you!
@Angie Ellsworth not real.
That's me right now........wish the world could just sing & dance again................!!
@@AvatarAang_ not real 😄
It's just how we love! So called black women.Lol
The 80's had the best clothes, best friends, best singers and best songs.
Which is why Asia especially is rocking our 80’s right now
Exactly I think the same.
So so true!
Yes the 70s and 80s and early 90s were amazing yrs for music and clothing styles..
And best dancers too
Spring of '84! From Footloose! A beautiful song, Beautiful voice & look of Deniece Williams!!!
Her voice sounds so joyful.A true classic for the 80s.
Reminds me of Patti LaBelle
Her voice was so beautiful and that high note at the end great!
Yess absolutely beautiful I grew up listening to music from the 80s and this is one of them!!! Classic all way ❤❤❤🥰🥰🎉
Her voice reminds me of 80s Madonna
I love this💓. My son is autistic and although he is very smart he doesn't have very good social skills. A family moved in next door and their youngest daughter is my son's age. She is so sweet and precious. She is deaf. My son can sign since he didn't talk when he was smaller this is how we communicated. I looked outside one day and my son wasn't on our porch he was next door sitting under a tree with the neighbor girl. They were "talking" up a storm. He doesn't normally socialize. According to her parents neither does she. I cried. She's his new best friend. This song makes me think of that moment every time I hear it. My son is definitely one in a million❤.
Wow I've never had so many likes on a comment before. That let's me know people read it. I hope that it made everyone who read it happy and gave them hope if they're feeling down. Blessings to all of you.
Eleana Demera 😭❤️ that melts my heart honestly, they sound precious glad u shared, ur story just made my day
It warmed my hear to read this :)
Most precious comment!
I hope they are the best of friends for a long time coming!
Tearing up over here. Beautiful ❤️
"The two most important days of your life are the day you're born, and the day you find out why."

This song brings everlasting joy directly to my soul.
Mine as well.

Mine too, but maybe not for the same reasons. It just reminds that there was once a time when a song/video actually had something positive to say about Men/Boys. Because every song nowadays tells society the complete opposite.
As an 80's teenager I would come home from school, turn on the radio, and just simply hear brilliant tunes like this one.
Me tooooo 😚
I turned on MTV, back when they actually played music videos! (1980’s, very early 90’s). I haven’t watched MTV since.....
@@solrosenberg3803 do they even still have MTV ?
@@victornewman508 I don’t know. I haven’t watched it since the early 90’s. Haha
They have MTV Classic where they play music videos but MTV Nowadays Is Just Reality TV.
The first time I heard this song was from the movie Footloose
The song was released before the movie was.
The first “boy” is now 45 and married to Idina Mendel. He is also a singer, actor and marriage counselor. His name is Aaron Lohr. He played Steve in the movie version of Rent.
He also was in the Mighty Ducks as one of the bash brothers
Okay I've watched the movie version of RENT quite a few times and I like to think I'm fairly well versed on that movie...but who the hell is Steve? The only face that's coming to mind and I could be really wrong on this is the life support guy who says that his white count is low but he's the happiest he's ever been...I think he sings the second Life support song xxx
@@lizmc.1031 after I saw your comment I legit yt life support songs lol I was right with it being the second song but I got the wrong character I was originally thinking of Paul who sings the first solo in life support xxx
@@JeffreyCliffordgmail thank you, Jeffrey! I hope your day is going well, too!😆
Jeffery, show us what you can do . share a clip of your dance moves.
The beat, base, synth, lyrics and positive vibe is what makes this song magical. I'm so proud to have been part of that Era of life and music.
My friend, I'm with you. I'm proud to say that I was an 80s kid. All the music was magical and timeless. I'm 51 and still eat, sleep, breathe 80s.

Love this song teenager then

I'm still jamming to this is song in 2024! I'm still jamming to this song, that is who is jamming to the song. I am!
Today is the 40th anniversary of this song's release as a single. Also, what's surprising was that's Deniece Williams's second and last #1 hit in the US Billboard Hot 100 and it was a success to make it to #1 at that time as her only #1 as she does solo. Her previous and first #1 was in 1978 when she collabed with Johnny Mathis with "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late" and is her only #1 where she collabed with another musician. This song was the second single of the "Footloose" soundtrack to make it to #1 after the title track by Kenny Loggins.
respect, this is my aunt
I can remember i was in the kindergarten or 1st grade when this came out., I'm 39 now..
Yo old 😂 but me too
Omg! Me too 😂
Same here boss
Yup.. Me too!

What an era. Isn't it great we can come back on here and relive happier, more simple times.
That s a classic and music was soul healing and meaningful. Miss it completely. So.much fun
When people had class and respect for themselves and others. Can't forget about privacy!! It is missed.
Kaylene Petersen After all of that, back to the grind 😢
Ahh the eighties. A time when most downtown cities(even in relatively small towns) were dirty and full of graffitti. A time of AIDS, the crack epidemic, and the constant fear of getting nuked. Kids ran around beating each other up way more IRL because they had nothing better to do(thank you internet). Good things happened too, but I just thought I'd throw this in to provide some balance.
Yes it is, i do it all the time.
The 80's hair were always spot on and I mean both Whites and Blacks! Always bouncy...love it.😍

The Blonde Kid lifting the weight at 3:19 (link), his name was Bobby. He used to hang out at The Odyssey Night Club on Beverly Blvd in Hollywood. I didn't know him. I just had a few brief encounters with him, but he was one of the "Boys" of a infamous Sugar Daddy nicknamed LB who was murdered by one of his boys in the late 80's or early 90's. It has been reported that Bobby died in the early 90's of a drug overdose. The 80's were a blast but there were many bizarre tragedies that came with it.
Man that's so sad
This song makes me feel like someone is proud of me, and it makes me tear up every time lol
I'm proud of you Dalton! 🤗 Keep succeeding! 👍
You're better than you think and that's why I am proud of you Dalton
Thought I was the only one. I listen to this on my walk home so I feel accomplished about doing something meaningless for living. We proud of you Dalton! Tough times don't last, tough people do. 💪
I'm proud of you for being brave enough to talk about your true feelings. A lot of people have too much pride for that.

The rhythm of this particular song still rocks in 2024.
It's always an uplifting experience
DeBarge's "Rhythm Of The Night" is a great way to follow this song.
The first boy is so cute, he has ADHD and he is humiliated because of that and she uses that problem to his benefit and makes him a dancer. So beautiful!
I agree.I knew someone those days who had similar symptons,schools at the time didn't know how to address the problem.Fortunately today things got a little better and we have better prepared personnel to look after childrens with ADHD and similar issues.But there's still much to improve!
I am an ADHD sufferer myself I know the struggle.
Has ants in the pants. You find something they like to do. This can include the Arts, Martial Arts,
my granddaughter is autistic, im in tears watching this.
He’s played by Aaron Lohr, who now works as a marriage and family therapist, and in 2017 he got married to none other than Idina Menzel.
This was a number one hit for Denience - she was also one of the first Afro-American female artist to be played in heavy rotation on MTV (after Donna Summer became the first in 1983 - with She Works Hard for the Money). Also listen to the Melisma used in this song. This is 1984 - but of course wikipedia incorrectly gives credit to Mariah and Whitney for being the first to bring it to pop radio in the 90s. Most of us that were there, knows that isn't true
+Mick Denis Wow! I always thought it was Whitney, thanks for sharing!
It was Whitney for I wanna dance with somebody
+goldenroberson84 That was 1987, Donna was the first in 1983. She was also the first to be played in consistent heavy rotation. Followed by the Pointer Sisters and Tina Turner. Donna the first to be nominated to an MTV Award and Tina was the first to win an MTV award. Wikipedia incorrectly gives WH credit for this trailblazing in her bio, but it is far from the true. They also say that WH help other minorities like the Latinos...LOL.. I guess they never heard of Linda Ronstadt or Julio Iglesias who both were played in heavy rotation, before Whitney debut in 1985; or Sheila E who was not only played in heavy rotation before WH; but nominated for 3 MTV Awards and 2 Grammys before WH.
+Mick Denis You could edit Wikipedia and put in the more accurate information.
damn skippy! the Lil cutie in this video was in the movie Newsies I believe!
This song was SO POPULAR at wedding receptions back in the 80's. It was FUN and everybody got into it...especially the bride and groom :)
Yesssss Niecy Williams have a very Beautiful Voice just love all her Classic back in the day this was real Music.
Yesssss
still is dude just need to keep the old wit the new
its a old school fing come on mix an mingle bra
It's 2019 I am 24 born in 1994 and just now hearing this song. It's my new favorite
Oscar nominated song along with Ghostbusters, I Just Called To I Love You and Against All Odds...
I grew up during the 80's. Some of the best days of my life!
Me too
Deniece Williams reminds you of that favourite teacher in high school!
This song gives me nostalgia to a decade I wasn't even alive in lmaooooo

RIP 1980s, I miss you every day :(
I agree with you 100% I miss the 80s more and more as I get older I'm starting to see how things are in today's generation it's horrible people done lost their f****** minds and on top of that music nowadays don't mean a damn thing it's all about sex sells and that's that. One thing that I can say about the '80s that I love was that it was a time where going to the movies with someone meant something watching things on television from cartoons to regular TV shows they were something not to mention the clothes we used to wear was more classier than the clothes that people wear these days yes back then we were dealing with stuff like AIDS and drugs and yes the crime was a little bit high but looking at music videos like this makes everything look and feel different
Me too!!😢
Except for the AIDS
YES! So true.. :-)
PREACH!
man 70s 80s n 90s music be givin me good ass vibes
then 2000 came and music died. RIP Music.
Russ Walker fr
kid Senju then it all went down the pan.. you are 100% correct
I'm from the 90s
kid Senju i like the 80's the most just admit alot of people out their that the 80's was the decade of the best music ever besides the 70's and 90's!
Being a 90s baby, I prefer this kind of music more then today's music, whose with me?
As a 80s baby I agree
Here my fello 90s sister
I was born in 2008. Today's music is all the same. Back in the 80s and 90s, everything was varied and had life to it. Now all you have to do is talk about sex and drugs, add the same repetitive drums and boom, you have a hit single. God I wish we could go back.
get over yourselves

I'm back at Summer 1984 and in 7th grade, one of my best summers Ever.
Billie Jean was the year before. When Doves Cry (Prince) What's Love Got to Do with It (Tina Turner), Jump (The Pointer Sisters), Dancing in the Dark (Bruce Springsteen), Somebody's Watching Me (Rockwell), The Glamorous Life (Sheila E), Time After Time (Cyndi Lauper).
dude how old are you?
David Kerr Sorry ...but I don't know what your talking about. MJ had one song in the top 100 songs of 1984 and it was Thriller at #78, the song was released in January of 84. Billie Jean did not over-lap into 1984. Many albums last on the charts for more than a year..because album charts are based on sales only
Fernando Delgado I was in the 6th grade in 84 and I can remember it like yesterday
+ddogg71 Yeah I was in the 4th grade but 8 remember also very clearly my childhood 80's music. I remember that us school kids always talked about the different types of music we loved.
Love this song.. I say it’s for my husband who I love so much.. 💯❤️ been with him for 20 yrs now..
Nice!
May you have many more years of happiness!
May your boat forever float
I Love music .♥♡
I hope to say that one fine day....😁
Music from the past when the world was a better place. You can hear the lightness of life in this song from the 80s. Great old times.
thee world has always been a shitty place
+MC Buttitches Since 2000 seems like it's gone into overdrive on that score.
TROYREDJAMES35FAN
My language teacher put on some 80's rap music,and everyone else in the class was like what the hell is this crap? them I'm like, I love this song
+Parkr30 lol your funny😂😂😂
If you dropped off a teen from 2024 into this time, they would know they were in a different place
After they went through the cold turkey redrawls from smartphone addiction they would have a great time ☺️
I don't know why this song just popped in my head in 2023.. Great music from my childhood❤❤❤
I always remember it from Footloose when Chris Penn is getting his glow up
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Watching footloose now, had to listen to it again, absolute mint tune ❤
Just thought of the name Romeo for our new puppy, then this song popped up in my head! Hadn’t heard it in years!!🎉
The hymn of 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
Such a cute song.
for the longest time, i thought it was, "lets hear it for the boys"..........
could have sworn it was boys in footloose
mandela effect probably.
Xanstrom Same
It is though?
OH WAIT ITS NOTTTT!!!!
It's boy (singular) 😂
All my life I've lived a lie.
Let's hear for the boy! This is a timeless piece even in 2024🎉😊
Frrrrr

Listening now Jan 30 2024.. Instant hit!!
jan 31. '24
From the hit movie Footloose 1984 ☺☺☺☺
It was in the new one too, still perfection.
I watched a live highschool preformance of FootLoose and fell in love with it and now I recorded the movie on my TV and I completely obsessed with it! (And a lot of other older movies ex. Grease)

84 Rules..miss this song..Use to hear it on the bus..Track meets.♡
THE YOUTH NEEDS A SONG LIKE THIS 🙏
Yea… just hold the sugar
80's is GOLD
Tried to give 4 thumbs up
Boogeyman
Back when almost all kids, wanted to be on tv, music or movies. (very unrealistic)
But it was fun thinking about some of that.
Wtf happened to music??!! Can we bring talent and happiness back?
I AGREE !
Yes please! I miss good music
I agree brother
Aaah The days before the world got so serious And hateful.
@@barfyspitz not to mention the constant enuendos in music these days, where's the music that's just all about feel good joy.
I loved how black women back in the day had their own real hair. beautiful..
Yes
Bernadette stanis she is the most beautiful woman in the world!!!
They also have less rights
Everything was better in the 80s. Much, much better.
let's hear it for deniece Williams nice voice.
Hear, Hear!
Deniece!!
Yes definitely an she's beautiful too
Gorgeous voice you mean
This song hit #1
I think many miss the message of the song. It's a celebration of the different types of men and boys that make up our society.
True. Let's celebrate men
Lmaooooo you thought that!?!?!? LMAOOOOO
That high note was so beast!!
yeah I think it was an A5, but don't quote me on that for I am going off the top of my head for what it sounds like, but it sounds like an octave jump from A4 to A5
Yep and there was NO AutoTune back then, barely any forms of studio trickery apart from maybe speeding the tape up to get a slightly higher pitch, or slowing it down to make it slightly easier to hit higher notes, but this was not often and was easy to spot in a mix.
yes I was thinking thesame. pure vocals you can't teach stuff like that 😀
Beautiful voice, what a passion to sing that song!
completely agree! A pure and angelic voice
Anyone 2024??❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂
I'm a 90's-2000's baby but for some reason music from the 70's and 80's always makes me happy to the point of tears. I really envy y'all who got to hear music like this on the radio 24 -7 back then.
yeah but if you heard a song youd have to try to tape it while it was on the radio or go buy the CD (or the single) at a record store. Its so much easier now, but the music of today is pretty trashy. im 37 but feel like im 60. I hate 95% of whats popular today.
@@pat442389 Facts. 27 and have the musical taste of a 65 yo.
@@pat442389 The occasional song today is really good in my opinion, two of my favorite songs (Don't Start Now and Blinding Lights) have a bit of an 80's pop feel to them but I could be wrong
@@sarahberkner I just dont feel like you get the amount of great music that you used to get. I can even remember trying to hate bands, songs or specific genres but their music was so good or catchy i ended up liking them. Today i hear rap, pop or R&B, even country and it all sounds pretty much the same. Id guess 70-90% are all written and produced by the same songwriters and producers. Its just so derivative. Ive felt this way for at least the last 5-10 years... maybe more. Im 38 now and i feel like i sound like a 65 year old grump. I want to like music and find new songs but nothing i hear today is very good. I think theres plenty of people that are talented, i just dont think they do their own thing. They are forced into sounding a certain way, to write songs over 3 minutes but under 4. Made to have hooks and things like that placed at predetermined points. I want more spontaneous musicians that arent afraid to experiment or fail.
@@pat442389 I was born in '95, but yeah I've heard radio was better back in the day. And some 80's (like Madonna) I don't like but a lot of it is great. There's something to be said for being able to hear a song on demand now, I know people say it makes you take music for granted but I appreciate it.
I have been looking for this video for a long time..
Love the song and video..
M. Dillinger Yes it is.. You always in trouble? Okay. Well I hope all that corner time taught you something?
Yes I used to listen, sing, and dance to this all the time..... Still do but shhh!!! Do not tell anyone. . Makes me want to start singing it now... Yeah let me not..
Oh, and thank you for mentioning the 80's currently listening to Debarge Rhythm of the night... :-) May you have a great Saturday.
M. Dillinger I am not sure if I should laugh at the fact that you say you are mostly good or encourage you? Encouragement yup you continue being yourself that is all that matters as you just stated...
***** This is a great song. :-)
Maria PA LLDLS well you looking prettey good! (:
Denice is so sweet and her dance moves are so pretty and classy like her.
I like her 2
❤❤❤Fully agree
She is a fox.
This is my Mom jam right here she always puts this on whenever she feeling down ❤ you mom
yess lets uplift men and boys.
Amen to that
Yes sister
@one sided loyalty is for suckas Come on now. Let's let our men have this one
WTF 🤦♂️
@@Cobrancrx lol
Fun fact: Deneice has one of the highest voice registers known to man. Even rivaling Minnie Ripperton. It's insane. She was totally underated. I'm glad she is still around and doing shows. I had such a crush on her. She was simple. She didnt need alot of flashiness to sing a good song. 3:08 - 3:15 was all her completely natural. Even Mariah can't do that, and she admitted it.
Freddie Mercury's vical range was also very impressive
Nah.Bro I had the greatest crush!! She helped me thru the military. Great voice n personality as well. I was definitely in love back in da day.
She was never underrated. Great singer.
@@popbroussard9601 Lol. You both had a mega crush on her.
i think mariah was being humble there i recken she could do denieses range..and yeah what an incredible voice she has .. one of the best of the old school and was great to see her on dj cassidys *pass the mic* editions on this site.. if yall aint seen the edition go do it now.. bring back great memories and should have an award on its own
80s artists put their heart and soul into it. That's the biggest difference between 80s artists and those today.
The majority of 80's artists didn't even write their own songs.
@@anonymousblanketgirl9865
Except that in music the term "artist" does not refer to those who sing/perform music only. Those who write or produce music, are musical artists, as well. And so, either way you put it, 80s artists put their heart and soul into it.
Yvette Nichole Brown sang this song on theme Footloose on Masked Singer tonight.
The 80's had the best music including this song!
They were the best music years!
I think you're spot-on.
80s were great! but I'm of the opinion that pop punk hits of 90s/2000s were the best
80’s hip hop and 90’s R&B was the best!
80's, 70' and 60's had the best pop music
I was born in 80 and my daughter on 04. Was listening to this and she was singing every word. Proud moment💜
I watched footloose and I love to dance and it was so awesome and I love Kevin bacon and Lori singer.
I was also 4 when the song and movie came out
I love this song so much, actually appreciating the person you love no matter their flaws. People always complain about their partners flaws instead of embracing them for what they are and what they do
Chantell Hewitt this!!! I get a chance to have my ex back this week. I will never take them for granted again.
after a while you dont even notice the flaws of someone you love ,im glad im not a teen of today with the media and society always emphasizing anything that isnt perfect.thank goodness my wife saw past my flaws.
Ruhe1986 did u guys get back together ???
“Footloose” (1984) - legendary soundtrack.
