Mint Condition was a six piece R&B band out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. They were discovered by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis in 1989. This was actually their first hit single released in 1991. An extremely talented group lead by lead singer Stokely Williams. Keri Lewis, no relation to Terry Lewis, was actually one of Mint Conditions principle writers and producers. He's no longer with the group though. He pretty much left the group after he married Toni Braxton. Should be also noted that Stokely Williams actually kind of played cupid and kind of helped get Keri and Toni together. Mint Condition I believe is either on hiatus or disbanded with Stokely Williams finally going solo. Not sure what their official status is right now.
Yep Mint Condition was Such an Underrated Group most to all there music was BANGERS they played all there instruments and sang all there music no auto tunes and they sound just as good live Truly the Last All R&B Boy Band of the late 80's 90's there are so good they still making music. Rabbit hole of GOOD MUSIC
Mint Condition definitely shouldn't be confused with a group, they are a band. Stokely Williams is the lead singer and Keri Lewis is the keyboard player who was married to Toni Braxton
Mint Condition, just real talented musicians singing and playing their instruments. I still have this 12" single vinyl and the CD album. May I suggest "Forever In Your Eyes", another great song from the same album, Meant To Be Mint, released in 1991.
I first heard this song in the dining hall of my college dorm. First time played on the radio. Everyone was like, " Who is that? This is dope!! is this a new Babyface? " Song blew up. They blew up. Bought the album next day,.
Mint Condition and Tony, Toni, Tone’ were the last of the great soul/r&B bands ( not to be confused with the term “ boy band”🙄, those guys all actually played instruments). The lead singer is non other than Stokley, who has since gone solo with a string of hits in his own to this day.
Mint Condition was a really good band. They were trying to bring back the era when groups played their own instruments. Glad you did this group. Yes, you're right. That was Toni Braxton's ex-husband
@@michaelasay8587 The only thing I have heard is that the lead singer Stokley Williams I believe that's his name. Went off to go solo but to be honest I haven't heard nothing from them
Yes lead singer stokely mint condition was a amazing band fantastic alot of good songs u send me swanging, nobody does it better yes very talented band glad you guys got around to them
I'm utterly shocked you don't remember Mint Condition😮! Moms grew us up on them in the 90s. I thought they were in every Chocolate Persons r&b mix tapes😂.
I was born in 87 and I know every old school group band you name it... Stokely is the lead singer... It just shows to what you was listening to around your parents. I was raised around old skool jams.. then I gravitated towards old school jams...
Lead singer is Stokely. Notice he was also playing the drums I saw them in concert a few years ago with Floetry, and Stokely was playing quite a few instruments. They are from Minnesota, discovered by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, mentored by Prince. It’s worth listening to the rest of the end of the song. This song came out when I was in the second grade and finally moved to a place where I had BET.
You all should go look up some of their live shows. Freaking insanely good band. Also, after Prince died, his old band The Revolution went on a tribute tour and they brought in Mint Condition's lead singer to sing Prince's lead.
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! Watching the two of you made my wife and I smile for hours. Keep up the great work and I have a ton of suggestions for you to react to...starting with Luther Vandross, live performance singing a house is not a home at the NAACP awards. I promise you, you'll love it 👍🏽
Wow, I was in the 11th grade when this came out. Played at Jr/Sr. prom. This was a huge hit. Stokely Williams is the dude killing the vocals and he is also a BAD drummer!!
To get a real feel of them playing live, search RUclips and check out their legendary performance on Planet groove. I think someone put their whole performance and it is not to be missed
Can you guys react to music from a group called The Brand New Heavies? Their song “Crying Water” is amazing and features vocals by Saiheda Garrett who performed with Michael Jackson .
What you should know about making dishin if when the song Pretty Brown Eyes came out they were number one beating out Michael Jackson and Prince on the Billboard charts
Hello I love ur coupling & ur channel ~share it all the time! Pls consider reviewing 1. ORDINARY PAIN (a bad break up) 2. Living For The City (emotional) and 3. Joy Inside My Tears (emotional) by Mr Stevie Wonder they are my top favs
The video isn't the full song. You need to listen to the song not from the music video. You are missing the best part, trust me, you're missing the full experience.
I'm sorry but I call vs. No way these individuals have never heard this song before. I'd argue with their age and ethnicity it's statistically impossible.
This is some BULLSHIT! How did Mint Condition get on a reaction, BUT Carol Lynn Townes CAN'T?🤔🤔🤔 or Ollie and Jerry? 🤔🤔 Shawn and Mel is breaking my heart😓😓😓
Mint Condition was a throwback Band sorta to the 70s during the 90s. Underrated but sheer talent from these Brothers.
ABSOLUTELY 😅😊😊😊
STOKELY WILLIAMS
I heard this song in elementary school, from a mix tape that my borther’s gf gave him! Such a good song! So happy they sung it on the Voice (2024)

You should listen to Stokley and Kelly Price's “Not my daddy” and his solo “What Kind of Man Would I be” (two of his latest projects!
Thanks ❤

@@beastmodeforever8674That was actually off of their 2nd Album called "From The Mint Factory." The 2nd and last single off of it actually.

I’ve seen Mint Condition about 15 years ago, and they were absolutely amazing.

When this song came out, I played it over and over and over! Love them! 😍

Stokely Williams is the lead singer, and he was actually the drummer of the band in the beginning.

LYRICS!! The lead vocals and harmonies are amazing!! The instrumentation is great as well!!
Great song ❤️😍❤️❤️❤️ love your reaction
The lead singer's name is stokley Williams. And he is by far one of my favorite male vocalists.
I was born in 87 and I know every old school group band you name it... Stokely is the lead singer... It just shows to what you was listening to around your parents. I was raised around old skool jams.. then I gravitated towards old school jams...
One of the best songs ever! Glad you all made it to Mint. 💚
Love this group, the lead singer is named Stokley he also has songs as a solo artist too, yes that was Toni Braxtons husband.
Toni was married to the keyboard player
And they played all their own instruments. The boys were bad. I loved this group back in the day.
It's funny watching this because ya'll haven't scratched the surface on Mint Condition😂
I love this song and this band I still have their first CD !!!
Wow 1988 I was 16 years old you're one year younger than my sister.
Stokley….he’s amazing & has music out now as a solo artist

This lead and the lead from After 7 are underrated
The Lead Singer Name Is Stokely
Underrated R&B band Top 5 list, Mint Condition was definitely one of those groups

This dropped in 92. I was 20 and a sophomore in college. Good to still be alive!
Wow, I was in the 11th grade when this came out. Played at Jr/Sr. prom. This was a huge hit. Stokely Williams is the dude killing the vocals and he is also a BAD drummer!!
The video cut of this song is good but the extended album cut is where Stokely goes OFF at the end!
Stokely is the Lead Singer. They started out as a highschool band from a Performing Atrs scholl in Minneapolis , Mn.

Yes, this is high school music for me. To many girls. You hit it on the head, music was about courting woman. What happened?

Minny town
Stokely
I'm so skeptical of these reviews, born in 2000 and I know the Group Mint Condition. Really????
The lead singer in this particular song is Raphael saadiq
I'm sorry but I call vs. No way these individuals have never heard this song before. I'd argue with their age and ethnicity it's statistically impossible.
The lead singer is Stokely Williams you should here their other albums
This is some BULLSHIT! How did Mint Condition get on a reaction, BUT Carol Lynn Townes CAN'T?🤔🤔🤔 or Ollie and Jerry? 🤔🤔 Shawn and Mel is breaking my heart😓😓😓
