This lady was actually a true talented artist who was molded by Narada Walden who is a legendary musician who worked with many great artists. Stacy Lattisaw can sing like a full grown woman at 13yrs old. She is a forgotten artist but she can blow many of these artists today off the stage. She did great remakes and origimals. She is nowhere near a moron. She became a reborn Christian and left the business.
With Stacy's version they focused mostly on the drums a horns they brought it up to date. I like Stacy's version the best, but both versions are outstanding peace an blessings too you both.
Love this song. In my search for the original, I found that it was originally written for and performed by the the British band The Shadows in 1975. This song was recorded by so many people. Olivia Newton John, Dave and Sugar, Delfonics, Staci Lattisaw and more.
Vantage soul from the three lads from philly. Two happens to be real blood brothers. They creative this sound. This is pure gold clasics. One of my favorites.
What about Gary Benson? He did the original version from 1975 and it made to #20 on the UK charts, but never came out in the US until 1977 when Dave & Sugar did a cover version of this song and made to #5 on the country charts. Listen to the original version from 1975. ruclips.net/video/PfIc5oEE4Wg/видео.html
you are right that was the moments. I just gave her her recognition. her music has been sampled. once your music is sampled you are a legend. I don't dislke you I just pointed out her accomplishments. I like the delfonics myself I am only 35 I have had the best of the delfonics cd for years now my whole cd collection is old skool music that i grew up on I love her and i am a big fan of hers and she still has a huge fan base.
Both songz r beautiful, but sorry this is my all time fav Stacy Lattisaw song...she ownz the hell out of this song!! The Delfonics' has that oldies monotone sound & Stacy's is more melodic! I feel she did them very proud. R.i.p. Jo Jo Hunter...this was the song that back in the day we almost slow skated to...my big crush at age 15. I will always remember u when i hear this song!
For those of you who are making negative remarks about The Delfonics Song, you have got to remember that if it wasn't for the Delfonics Stacy wouldn't have this song to sing. Plus she didn't make much money from the song, the royalties went to ! You guessed it: THE DELFONICS !
this is a legendary group and I think that stacy won the battle she does sound better. I do have the best of the delfonics cd in my cd collection I love their music. they would last and they will stand through the test of time. I am a huge SL fan and she has made many accomplishments in the industry I think that she was underrated and so were the delfonics I think they should have received more recognition than they did. they don't make music like they used to anymore I wonder why.
Both Versions are Brilliant .. ( different time periods for me .. however effective enough so that I can " Feel " it ... and My Motto is .. " if you can't feel it .. IT .. isn't Real " ) ...and I definitely feel BOTH PIECES .. #STACY SLAYS IT THO 🙏🏾🖤💪🏾🔥🔥🔥
karmeldream...i too love all the great groups you mentioned,,,and i agree to the talent of stacy...her song " I FOUND A MIRACLE IN YOU"is tremendous...loved all her songs and her style...there was a common thread in her music
Thanks for posting I was trying to think of my fave Stacy song and this is it. She sung songs that were very popular in the DC area. The Delfonics were a favorite in DC. Tell you the truth I don't remember the Delfonics version much but hers oh yeah
whatever she did a remake of eddie holman's love on a two way street and she had a major hit with that song. she remade hey there lonely boy also that was a hit for her. She was nominated for an AMA award for let me be your angel. stacy has had a lot of hits her and johnny gill did a duet album together that had hits on it. stacy came out when she was twelve,her mother sang back up for marvin gaye, she has made a lot of accomplishments she has made many albums she has a lot of hits.
The Delfonics are one of my favorite groups of all-time and as usual they did a great job on this song, but so did Stacy Lattisaw. And I was surprised to learn that neither of them wrote this song, or were the first to record it. It was written by a London singer-songwriter named Gary Benson and after it was recorded by a group called the Shadows, he recorded it himself.
you are right!!! people have the right to voice their opinion but it is good to know the facts before we voice our opinion. I just wanted to make it clear that stacy did have a good career.
This is the album that had that sweet, memorable dance hit for little, little kids: "Attack of the name game". Stacy hits it out of the park with this little ballad. Tender, lush, and wonderfully romantic. Thank you for posting this song. I hope someone posts the "Attack of the name game" song...someday.
superbe stacy Lattisaw la toute première fois que j'ai entendu cette artiste c 'etait au jacky's club petit club a tournai en belgique qui n'existe plus malheureusement que de bon souvenir
her first album you and in love by van mccoy ; did you ever watch good times where there was an episode when wanda had a rent party michael sung a song called young and in love that was stacy's song. Also, stacy is responsible for Johnny Gill's success if it wasn't for her he wouldn't be where he is today and he will tell you that she is currently working on her gospel cd and she is going to be on unsung she has her own production company and other businesses she is still doing well .
@AprilRose504 Well there is no comparing Stacey to legends like the Delfonics, but Stacey did it justice, and at 12, she put her own spin on. Today's talent cannot touch the talent of back in the day. There are some, I must give credit where it's due, but most of today's talent would have their face laughed in if they tried to get a contract back in the day. They wanted talented singers then. I miss the raw talent you'd get when you put that record on, it was about voice not looks,no auto tune.
stacy did last long and sha has 12 or 13 albums she is not a one hit wonder she is a legend and she is getting ready to be on unsung and she is getting ready to make a gospel album. her mother sung backup for marvin gaye and she is responsible for johnny gill becoming famous!!! stacy has her own production compant and have other businesses . she has a lot of music videos she has a wonderful voice and we love her and i am her friend on facebook i would call that longevity fom the 70's era-present
The Delfonics was the originators of this song and at the time they did a fabulous job, but as soon as Stacy Lattisaw did her version she blew them out of the water. Her voice was so powerful. You almost forgot that it was a remake. But both versions are very good.
My life has been a lie all this time ! I thought Stacy Lattisaw was the first to sing her biggest hits ! And she and I are the same age ! I had a crush on this girl in the 7th grade because she looked like Stacy Lattisaw ! Lol 😆
okay since I am a huge Stacy L. fan I listened to a clearer version of this song by the Delfonics. I still have to say that stacy wins this battle. But I do like the Delfonics. I think stacy puts more soul into it. The Delfonics were a great group if they are living the dramatics , the delfonics, the ojays, the spinners, and th temptations, and other great male groups all need to get together to do a concert it will be a sell out I was fair with ths competion I listened toa clearer version.
you do have the right to voice your opinion. it is just that i had to state the facts a lot of people think that she had a bad career and she didn't . I don't know if she will be legendary like the delfonics but people still like her. so please accept my apology if i affended you i love music. stacyl, deniece williams, chaka khan, cherelle, angela winbush, can't do no wrong when it comes to music. but you do know your music and i am sure that you know a lot more about music than i do.
Stacy's version is the only one I wanted to hear. I was trying to fast forward past the Delfonics. Sorry bout that guys, but her version scratches my itch. I miss Stacy.
i don't dislike you at all. i know and everybody else knows she can't hold a candle to the delfonics in a real competition. those guys will always be legends i like their version but i prefer stacy's she has had a good career and she had made many accomplishments. people don't take into consideration that when these people read the bad comments we put out about their feelings become hurt and they don't deserve that because they did their best they have feelings just like we do.
i have a lot of old skool in my cd collection the dramatics, delfonics, intruders, the moments, mfsb, cameo, al hudson and one way, gq, ohio players, heatwave, that is all i basically listen to. I love old skool i just liked her version better i didn't even know that this was a remake. I don't enjoy patti lablles's or luther vandross's remakes. I don't care too much for many remakes sometimes they are terrible.
Stacey wasn't even thought of when this song was written!...besides she was a one hit wonder, guess who had more hits than she could ever dream of? 215 forever.
I could be wrong, but I believe that Olivia Newton John did this song originally in 1976....not the Delfonics! Either way...i prefer Stacy's to all the others (it's the one I grew up with)!
Context: Delfanoics’ version was made at a time when recording technology wasn’t advanced as when Stacy did her version. So overall Stacy’s version had a better updated production. But vocally they’re both the same.
it's impossible to do "way better" than the delfonics! what's wrong with y'all? i'm young, and i can clearly hear that the originators rocked this song!
i prefer old skool any day compared to this new junk. i have the best of the delfonics in my cd collection. i love the delfonics. I loved her version of love on a two way street better also. but she had did hey there lonely boy a remake of eddie holman's hey there lonely girl I didn't really care for that version. but eddie holman's version is better than hers. I have a deep appreciation and respect for old skool. most of my cds in my cd collection are old skool .
olsinger, go to amazon and you will see that stacy and johnny's duet with marilyn mccoo and billy davis jr-you don't have to be a star, endless love- diana ross/ lionel richie, to associated with those legends are seniority level if you ask me. this lady is good and you need to give her her credit. if you were somuch of an expert you will definitely know about stacy lattisaw don't hate on her talent and success I am only speaking the truth she have a lot of fans on you tube she has senority.
Not really. Gary Benson recorded the song first before Olivia did, and that was from 1975, and he got to #20 on the UK charts, but never made to the US.
well, stacy still wins the competition even though she sings solo doesn't really make a difference i liked stacy and i still do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the delfonics also but stacy wins this competition!!!!
to be fair about the competetition i listened to a clearer version that the delfonics sing and she still sounds better. she has the right to remake any song that she wants to. Sometimes remakes are better; I love Luther Vandross but he doesn't do remakes very good in my opinion. I really wish you would do some research on SL oldskoolsinger she was a little girl when she sang this song I amm sure that she didn't choose to do this song I am sure that her manager had chose her to do this song .
I love both versions for different reasons! Both are great!
This lady was actually a true talented artist who was molded by Narada Walden who is a legendary musician who worked with many great artists. Stacy Lattisaw can sing like a full grown woman at 13yrs old. She is a forgotten artist but she can blow many of these artists today off the stage. She did great remakes and origimals. She is nowhere near a moron. She became a reborn Christian and left the business.
Delfonics, did a wonderful master piece of this song, Stacy also did as well.And to mention she also did Love on a too way steet! Did great.
I was alive in '78, but the '82 version is the one I "grew up" with: Stacy gets this one guys!
With Stacy's version they focused mostly on the drums a horns they brought it up to date. I like Stacy's version the best, but both versions are outstanding peace an blessings too you both.
Yes stacy KILLED THIS SONG!!! Love it!!!!
memories, memories. Classic!!!!
Love this song. In my search for the original, I found that it was originally written for and performed by the the British band The Shadows in 1975. This song was recorded by so many people. Olivia Newton John, Dave and Sugar, Delfonics, Staci Lattisaw and more.
Gene Sivila hi, it was written and recorded by Gary Benson and was a hit in summer of 1975 in the UK. Garry's version is THE definitive.
I love both. Both legends of a time of real soul and rnb...
We Love you Stacy
Vantage soul from the three lads from philly. Two happens to be real blood brothers.
They creative this sound. This is pure gold clasics. One of my favorites.
Both versions are beautiful.
What about Gary Benson? He did the original version from 1975 and it made to #20 on the UK charts, but never came out in the US until 1977 when Dave & Sugar did a cover version of this song and made to #5 on the country charts. Listen to the original version from 1975.

Both songz r beautiful, but sorry this is my all time fav Stacy Lattisaw song...she ownz the hell out of this song!! The Delfonics' has that oldies monotone sound & Stacy's is more melodic! I feel she did them very proud. R.i.p. Jo Jo Hunter...this was the song that back in the day we almost slow skated to...my big crush at age 15. I will always remember u when i hear this song!

This song is really the Bee Gees song check and you'll see, not bashing The Delfonics their version is the no: 1 but it's really a bee gees tune
Always a fan of the boys. Pattern my music after them.
this is a legendary group and I think that stacy won the battle she does sound better. I do have the best of the delfonics cd in my cd collection I love their music.
they would last and they will stand through the test of time. I am a huge SL fan and she has made many accomplishments in the industry I think that she was underrated and so were the delfonics I think they should have received more recognition than they did.
they don't make music like they used to anymore I wonder why.
STACY MURDERED THE HELL OUT OF THIS SONG! As much as I like the Delfonics & their version was good, but DAMN, Stacy's was perfect!
I agree with you ; I love her.
Love this song
Both Versions are Brilliant .. ( different time periods for me .. however effective enough so that I can " Feel " it ... and My Motto is .. " if you can't feel it .. IT .. isn't Real " ) ...and I definitely feel BOTH PIECES .. #STACY SLAYS IT THO 🙏🏾🖤💪🏾🔥🔥🔥

it is on her best hits album.....
i own all of her cds
you are right!!! people have the right to voice their opinion but it is good to know the facts before we voice our opinion.
I just wanted to make it clear that stacy did have a good career.
no she is not a forgotten artist i have all of her cds and she is currently my friend on facebbok!!!!!!!!!!
stacy was very underrated and under appreciated untalented people receive all th recognition that is unfair!!
This is the album that had that sweet, memorable dance hit for little, little kids: "Attack of the name game".
Stacy hits it out of the park with this little ballad. Tender, lush, and wonderfully romantic.
Thank you for posting this song.
I hope someone posts the "Attack of the name game" song...someday.
i agree with you she can't do any wrong in my ear either!!!!
Stacey gets my vote!!!!
I'm a huge delfonics fan but in all honesty i really like the stacey lattisaw version.
I like both of them the same.
superbe stacy Lattisaw la toute première fois que j'ai entendu cette artiste c 'etait au jacky's club petit club a tournai en belgique qui n'existe plus malheureusement que de bon souvenir
Stacy nailed it!
her first album you and in love by van mccoy ; did you ever watch good times where there was an episode when wanda had a rent party michael sung a song called young and in love that was stacy's song.

Both versions are sincere and heartfelt, but Stacy’s version makes me want to 😢. I just want the guy to “PLEASE STAY! Don’t Throw it All Away!
i love this song; i didn't know it was a remake i love stacy's version better; stacy it seems like you won!!!
@AprilRose504 Well there is no comparing Stacey to legends like the Delfonics, but Stacey did it justice, and at 12, she put her own spin on.

I love both
Don't get me wrong I love the Delfonics but Stacy tore this song up. You go girl.
stacy did last long and sha has 12 or 13 albums she is not a one hit wonder she is a legend and she is getting ready to be on unsung and she is getting ready to make a gospel album. her mother sung backup for marvin gaye and she is responsible for johnny gill becoming famous!!! stacy has her own production compant and have other businesses . she has a lot of music videos she has a wonderful voice and we love her and i am her friend on facebook i would call that longevity fom the 70's era-present

Yep.. this is Stacy's song! (Narada produced this song and Stacy nailed it).
My life has been a lie all this time ! I thought Stacy Lattisaw was the first to sing her biggest hits ! And she and I are the same age ! I had a crush on this girl in the 7th grade because she looked like Stacy Lattisaw ! Lol 😆
take me all the way aswell
I never knew the Delfonics did this song. Great job but Stacey took it to another level and her version was excellent.
Stacy made this song her own!!...Stacy Lattisaw was only 17 years old!
i never knew it was a remake.stacy wins hands down
stacy lattisaw for sure. that punchy 80s bass really suits the track too. delfonics are awesome, but this is stacy's.
that is a good idea and maybe there would be more positive music out there.
there is no school like the old skool!!!!!
Stacy's is the best by far.
Suweet~!
I like the Delfonics version but Stacy Lattisaw really had more of a pure voice to really bring the feeling to the song. Hard song to do in falsetto.
My first love.
okay since I am a huge Stacy L. fan I listened to a clearer version of this song by the Delfonics. I still have to say that stacy wins this battle. But I do like the Delfonics. I think stacy puts more soul into it. The Delfonics were a great group if they are living the dramatics , the delfonics, the ojays, the spinners, and th

stacyl, deniece williams, chaka khan, cherelle, angela winbush, can't do no wrong when it comes to music. but you do know your music and i am sure that you know a lot more about music than i do.
Stacy did better in my opinion. I absolutely think she has more emotion in her version. The she improvised with her runs were dead on.
Stacy's is cute, but Delfonics own it!
I had no idea that Stacy's version was a cover.
I grew up with Stacy's version and prefer a female vocal. whatever the case, Olivia Newton John recorded this prior to the Delfonics in '76!
lov'em both.....
The girl won this battle, The Delphonix won the war.
Stacy's version is the only one I wanted to hear. I was trying to fast forward past the Delfonics. Sorry bout that guys, but her version scratches my itch. I miss Stacy.
no original was sung by a version /wrote by gary benson who wrote it for the 1975 uk entry to the urovision song cotest for entry by the shadows
i don't dislike you at all. i know and everybody else knows she can't hold a candle to the delfonics in a real competition. those guys will always be legends i like their version but i prefer stacy's she has had a good career and she had made many accomplishments. people don't take into consideration that when these people read the bad comments we put out about their feelings become hurt and they don't deserve that because they did their best they have feelings just like we do.
i have a lot of old skool in my cd collection

I don't care too much for many remakes sometimes they are terrible.
Stacy wins hands down!!! The Delfonic's need to go somewhere and sit down!
Dave & Sugar did a great version of this song too!
Stacey wasn't even thought of when this song was written!...besides she was a one hit wonder, guess who had more hits than she could ever dream of? 215 forever.
Charles Gussom Stacy was a one hit wonder? Not hardly..
Do your home work Charles
Both songs are great, but Stacey had an edge because of the sound quality. It would be much harder to decide if both were in stereo I think.
I could be wrong, but I believe that Olivia Newton John did this song originally in 1976....not the Delfonics! Either way...i prefer Stacy's to all the others (it's the one I grew up with)!
i like both artsists. they don't make music like they used to..................
I like Stacy's version better but the melody and other esthetics of the song were captured by both version.
Context: Delfanoics’ version was made at a time when recording technology wasn’t advanced as when Stacy did her version. So overall Stacy’s version had a better updated production. But vocally they’re both the same.
same i like stacy's version
Stacy’s version peaked at #5 R&B in 1982, and on the “Hot 100”, it peaked at #101 which was “Bubbled under the Hot 100”.
it's impossible to do "way better" than the delfonics! what's wrong with y'all? i'm young, and i can clearly hear that the originators rocked this song!
Stacy without a doubt
stacys version does it for me more than the delfonics ;-)
Classic
Stacy sang the hell out of this Classic song 🤗🤗 she just updated the version 👍👍 the original is good but dated 😀
Stacey killed that song...
i prefer old skool any day compared to this new junk. i have the best of the delfonics in my cd collection. i love the delfonics. I loved her version of love on a two way street better also. but she had did hey there lonely boy a remake of eddie holman's hey there lonely girl I didn't really care for that version. but eddie holman's version is better than hers. I have a deep appreciation and respect for old skool. most of my cds in my cd collection are old skool .

senority.
love the delfonics, but Stacy wins this
What about Dave & Sugar and Gary Benson?
This song was originally recorded by Olivia Newton John in 1976! I prefer Stacy's to all the others.
Not really. Gary Benson recorded the song first before Olivia did, and that was from 1975, and he got to #20 on the UK charts, but never made to the US.
well, stacy still wins the competition
even though she sings solo doesn't really make a difference i liked stacy and i still do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the delfonics also but stacy wins this competition!!!!
I'm more use to Stacey's version and thats the one I prefer. The original sounds a little boring Stacey sound more up beat. I love this song anyway.
no "vs" here. They're both super.
Guys listen to a version by Lori Balmer on youtube, believe that Gary Benson may have also done a cover of this song
Stacy...
Stacy L's version without a doubt...
to be fair about the competetition i listened to a clearer version that the delfonics sing and she still sounds better.
she has the right to remake any song that she wants to. Sometimes remakes are better; I love Luther Vandross but he doesn't do remakes very good in my opinion. I really wish you would do some research on SL oldskoolsinger she was a little girl when she sang this song I amm sure that she didn't choose to do this song I am sure that her manager had chose her to do this song .
when you check her out on facebook let me know what you think she is a very nice person.
i dnt kno there both good but the original has a bit more feelin
you are right but I will still call it garbage!!!!
@MissNophi2U thank you MissNophi2U.
`here i am again
