Back in 1987, I wrote a letter to this band telling them what I fan I was of their music. Not only did they send me an autographed photo of themselves, the singer, Valerie Day, handwrote me a letter of thanks. That was exciting to a 16 year old boy at that time
I could listen to this song on repeat and not get tired of hearing it just like mostly all of the original freestyle before what they now call freestyle rap was ever a thing . IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER TO HAVE BEEN A TEEN AT THE COMING OUT OF THIS MUSIC . I WOULD OF LIVED IN A CLUB MOST IF NOT ALL OF MY TEEN YEARS IF THIS WAS WHAT THEY WERE ALL PLAYING THATS FOR SURE . COULDNT OF ROCKED THE AQUA NET TOWERS THEY MADE A HAIRSTYLE . NOT BCUZ OF THE LOOK , IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BECAUSE IVE NEVER HAD THAT MUCH HAIR ON MY HEAD LOL
This came out when I was about to enter the air force. Brings back tons of memories, still love the music. Nearly 60 years old yet this song makes me feel young again. 😊😊😊
Takes me back to being in my early 20s at a club with friends in Los Angeles during the summer of 1986, amid the video screens perched on high highlighting the music video for this song.
My boyfriend passed away almost 5 years ago and was very quite and rarely sang or moved to music, but this song always made him sing and move a little. What a treasure
My condolences.This was my husband and I from the time we met until his sudden passing in April of this year.I know what it's like to lose somebody special.
Nu Shooze had only two hits, this one here and I Can't Wait from the album Poolside. I was born in Dec 1982 and I miss living in the 80s, wanna go back.
Wow this comment made me feel regretful of not living in the 80’s sadly I live in the 21st century.it looks to me that the 80’s was a world for teenagers who followed there dreams with authenticity and they had real fun now its not safe to go anywhere it’s sad .I do admit the music in my time is not really good it’s mostly about meaningless things. It’s hard to find good music and I do adore the music of the 80’s it’s fun exciting and vibrant I love it I felt as though it was apart of me .
+amy laker It was just a time of great everything, you name it. MTV was at its prime with music videos, that helped. But just the talent was incredible and non stop.
THANK YOU SO MUCH VALERIE..... We sang THIS SONG IN COMBAT nonstop. Especially at the part, "No turning back, it's much too late, to go back now would be a big mistake!" It was OUR good luck song, and I served 5 tours of duty. We ONLY lost one Marine, and I'm PROUD of that, especially with all the fire fights we endured. God rest his soul. I myself was wounded on my last tour, shot 7 times on my right side. I lost both hips and cannot walk normal, but I'm home safe and sound. I was well taken care of at Bethesda, 5 EAST, God bless those doctors and nurses. Again, THANK YOU VALERIE!!! Semper Fidelis, Captain T, U.S.M.C.
@@derrickmoss8147 Drill Sergeant??? That's HARDCORE brother. I respect any DI or DS because you have to train those men and women to understand what Combat TRULY is. I was enlisted myself first. I didn't become an officer until I was a Corporal. I went in with a college education and just chose NOT to sign up for 6 years, which officer training was, and enlisted was 4. Four years is doable, but 6??? What if I hated this life. I wouldn't be getting out until I was almost 30 years old. My main years of career life would be over. I needed to be sure. Best move I ever made because the men that served with me, knew I was once in their shoes. Notice I didn't say UNDER ME because I always thought that was a Napoleon Complex, that you have to stress those men served under me, or they worked for me. NOOO, they work for the company and you just happen to be higher up on the food chain, that's all. I believed you GIVE RESPECT to those who serve with you and you get ten times back. I had WAYYYY more appreciation than any other officer. These men would have ran through a brick wall for me, and for that I'm honored. Many blessings brother, and I loved the Forrest Gump reference. Classic... Now you only have to say......JENNY!!!!
Nu Shooz was part of that amazing 80s decade when we had an influx of great music coming from over seas such as Five Starr.. Loose Ends..Human League and of course Culture Club....ahhh the 80s what a great decade to have been a part of
Nu Shooz had two number one hits on the soul chart. Point of No Return and l Can't Wait. We all thought they were a black group until their videos came out! Great music like this will never come back again. Bravo Nu Shooz!!
Fred Tracy what’s so good about that? I think it’s better that nowadays more people can embrace their sexuality and be themselves without being judged for it.
Every special effect in that video required human action. All those shoes. All that positioning. No CGI and sure as hell no AI. Maybe some people think the overall effect is corny, but that was an IMMENSE amount of human effort. And creativity. Please don't forget that.
Lol... well said. In many ways it was an upbeat, outward looking, sophisticated decade that showed through in the music. Hope that when I die I can beam back down to 1986!!
I'm a 55 year old black guy and I loved Nu Shooz in the 80's! This song and I Can't Wait were my favorites! I got funny looks too because in '86, all of my friends were listening to Run DMC, LL Cool J, UTFO, Ready For The World, etc, etc.,. I listened to that type of music as well but I also liked a lot of music like this (I just couldn't enjoy it around my judgemental ass friends) 😢 Now that I'm an older man, I listen to whatever the hell I want to and don't care what anyone says! 😊
This song just never gets old. I just love the harmonies/vocals and the way it is put together /production. Easily one of my favorite songs of all time. Just an outstanding pop/dance song and she is so cheerful/happy and likable in this video.
No worries my friend. you're not alone. not even close. I have no doubt that if we could go back somehow in some Whimsical time machine, in a blink of an eye two generations of people, or more would be gone from 2020.
And how. I'm building a time machine and will save you a seat. The first stop? The mall...for some parachute pants. Next, we'll hit the food court and then catch a movie. Finally, we'll hit the video arcade.
Saw them perform in 2015 at a freestyle concert in Long beach, CA. Lisa, Lisa, Sweet Sensation and much, much more. The crowd was so happy, just amazing vibes the entire time. Miss these days.
It's mind blowing to think about how much music changed from 1966-1986. If you look back from 2000-2020, there have been musical trends, but nothing as radical as what happened in the late 20th century.
Yup. That seems true with most things. In the last half of the 20th century, every decade had a distinct identity. The differences in music, cars, clothes, and styles were vivid and unmistakable. It does seem like 2002 to 2022 has been one long era with only subtle changes in aesthetics. It’s like we’re stuck in the same time period, just with more advanced phones and meaner politics.
The 80s were a time when music melody and lyrics turned into a dance expression. It was enjoyed from within and expressed outwards. Really made people happy and almost nothing else mattered when you heard it! Between the time it was first televised and radio transmitted to the present time (when most of it is 5H!+).
Shhh......it is our secret! yes we were sooo spoilt ...I REALLY had a mega time...but its like coming down from drugs...now life is ..well, a mess with everything.
It's not just that this is simply the greatest music video ever produced. It's that I can't IMAGINE a better music video. Stop motion animation in 1986 was a PAINSTAKING process and Wayne Isham is nothing less than a GENIUS. When the shoes start forming flags, you realize you are watching a work of art for the ages. Also, kudos to John and Valerie together now for over 40 years!
..oh, THANK YOU for this comment!! ...even in Summer, 1986. I KNEW this Video was PAINSTAKINGLY long to make!! ...we're talking frame-by frame shots, moving the shoes bi INCHES, stop motions....W@W! ...Classic 80's dance Song, with a CLASSIC Video!!
Even though she's turning 61 she is still beautiful. I agree, where did my youth go? I'm 53 and the 80's were the best days of my life. Wish I had a time machine because I'd sure go back to the 80's.
@@miked6644 You're certainly right - Valerie is still beautiful! If you happen upon a time machine, please save me a seat and let me know. The 80s were my best and favorite days, too!
The Tech/genie ( smart phone devices ) been let out the bag …… we at “ The Point of No Return “… 3:43 to good times , music n etc like this era, miss the 80’s !! ❤❤❤❤
How is it that the music videos of the 80's is so much better than the music videos that have come after in the decades following? It's like the people of that era created a Modern Renaissance.
@@bigtechisbigbrother8690 I agree 100%. 👍 The 80's was literally 10x better than the times we are living in now. It truly was the peak of the American era.
I'm from San Diego and went to live in Phoenix Az. in 1987. I had a brand new '87 Toyota mini truck with a nice Kenwood tape deck and 10 inch MTX woofers behind the seat. This song shook the ground underneath my truck when I played it. It was a glorious time.
Too many to count probably. One of the most memorable moments on Central was when Taylor Dane passed us riding on the the back of a motorcycle. Me and my friends all looked at each other and said, "Na, it can't be her!" We were listening to local radio station at the time, maybe KZZP or something, and they confirmed our sighting. Cool times.
@@Sosidedan true story....my brother had a lifted red Toyota and was there that night...she wanted a ride and climbed up and they went for a cruise lol her favorite colour was red so it was a perfect fit lol good times indeed!
Thank you Mr. Meatpants, my kids thought my Taylor Dane story was B.S. You just legitimized my experience for them. :) 95% of each of my stories are actually true. I just embellish about 5% tops.
Stationed in West Germany in 87... lots of crazy alerts and training...but when we were off...man...the 80s are worthy of the memories. 2024...57 now and I still can close my eyes and see the social scene back then...outstanding....outstanding.
Probably because not a lot of people bought the single or it became more popular on the radio only in certain regions of America. This definitely did better on the radio in cities.
I'm glad my dad has still kept the vhs tape that has a series of very old songs and this one was one of them. I'm also glad to be an oldschool person even though I am currently 20, I prefer the old than the new
Only heard this for the first time ever a couple of days ago on RUclips. I love it. I much prefer this to the famous 'I Can't Wait' though I like that too.
Totally agree. I only discover this about a month ago and I love it. I had heard of the title before but never actually heard the song but it popped up my suggested videos a few weeks and I'd give it a listen. I love it when I discover new 80s tunes, to me anyway, as if they were brand new. I love it.
Brings a Fkin tear my eye !!! WTF I miss these times so simple fun and jus chill I'm crying right now man smh !!! The video was beyond it's time I love all of you. So original fun fly artistic sooo damn good
Got to see them in 1986 at WDW in Florida for our senior class night out. They were Awesome in concert !! Music was so hot and fresh back then , It will never ever be the same nowadays!! I’m 52 years old and this song still kicks A_S!! My best friend even snagged one of the drummers sticks and it said Nu Shooz on it!! He still has it to this day😎 No other decade has been or will be the Eighties!! Rock on Nu Shooz!!
Now I feel so blessed to have graduated in 1985! What a great decade! Sooo many great memories! Wish I hadn’t been in such a hurry to grow up! Would love to go back and see my young beautiful girlfriend again! Sigh...
Back in 1987, I wrote a letter to this band telling them what I fan I was of their music. Not only did they send me an autographed photo of themselves, the singer, Valerie Day, handwrote me a letter of thanks. That was exciting to a 16 year old boy at that time

i wish i was 16 in 1987
These adorable people are still married to each other and that is the most wonderful thing.
That's how it's supposed to be!
Waooh Man Really?
Truly. I always thought they were so cute!
Omfg!! The 80's can never be touched!! Hands-down, the Best Decade ever for Pop music
Absolutely!✨💖😎
Amen to that
I so agree with you! My kids are in their late 20's and love this music!
I'm from 1988 and i agree as well, nothing can beat old school music

Thanks the Lord, for let me live through the 80s. The best decade in music history.
Eric Miranda I agree
John MacArthur I disagree. every year of that decade had it's bangers.

You and me both
Portland Oregon's Very Own. Great music and memories with this band.
Super tema clásico, Nushooz point of no resturn, nunca pasarán de moda gracias por compartir este gran ejemplar video.
The 80's, the best decade for just about everything. Especially music.
Yes indeed. It was a great time to be a teenager that's for sure. Great memories 😎

I like the little delay at the start of this video.
Yeah, that's stop motion that they did. That's a lot of work!
80's music is just unbeatable.
The 80s still seems so futuristic to me. I hope God has the 80s backed up on a celestial hard drive. So I can experience it all over again. LOL
it was magical
I actually feel the same way
Lol... well said. In many ways it was an upbeat, outward looking, sophisticated decade that showed through in the music. Hope that when I die I can beam back down to 1986!!
Right!? Lol
I am hoping the same thing.
I was the art director on this video. It was shot in LA in 1987 I think. They were lovely people.
Awesome!!!
Where did you got all those shoes?
What happened to all those?
And I saw the director, Joanna Priestly, give a lecture on animation at Webster University in St. Louis in 1987. That was a great talk!
SO friggin cool. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome !. Thinking about the casting of the Van’s and Converse shoes you made for this vid 😉😉😉.

This remains as one of my most favorite songs. Valerie Day's voice is so amazing.
Such a beautiful, happy, uplifting voice. I bought this cassette when it first hit the stores in 86, and still love this jam today...
When my mom was dying of cancer 3 years ago...i heard this song on the radio and it brought back so many great childhood memories!!! ❤
Who else is going through their favorite jams thinking about life back in the days? Please tell me I'm not the only one✌🏼️
no bro, this is what brings a smile to my face these days..
No worries my friend. you're not alone. not even close. I have no doubt that if we could go back somehow in some Whimsical time machine, in a blink of an eye two generations of people, or more would be gone from 2020.

Cats were break dancing to this on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City NJ 🔥👍💯🎵🎶✌️🎤
Wasn't alive but I believe it. I was about to start poplocking when I 1st heard this today.
Makes sense - since Rapper Spyder D sampled 'I Can't Wait' for *his* hit 'I Can't Wait (To Rock The Mike)'.
Me included and that's because their music was funky. Their sound to me was black, synth bass had made its way into the pop realm.

Back in the eighties, when people would dance. There were places called clubs where people did this activity.
So true. You can’t find a dance club anymore
I love it when people think that just because they stop doing something, it stops for everyone else too
Back in the 70s, when people would dance. There were places called Discos where people did this activity.

Yes. I made a similar comment 😃 about St. Elmo's Fire
@@laminage st Elmo's fire is still one of my favorites.
Agreed 100%
The Tech/genie ( smart phone devices ) been let out the bag …… we at “ The Point of No Return “… 3:43 to good times , music n etc like this era, miss the 80’s !! ❤❤❤❤
This can be such a dark song wrapped in an uplifting beat! I love it and I love the 80s. So glad I grew up in this era!❤
I maybe turning 50 this year, but that just means I was young when it mattered
🤘80s🤘
I'll be 50 in July as well : )
I am hitting the 40 mile stone this year! I was in elementary when this was out and I remember this video.
49 in September and damn glad I grew up in the best decade ever
Wow! People in a video for a dance song, wearing clothes, smiling and not grinding their hips in your face. I love it!
46 and I agree 🙌🏻🙌🏻🥃👏🏻🎧💓
How is it that the music videos of the 80's is so much better than the music videos that have come after in the decades following?
It's like the people of that era created a Modern Renaissance.
In retrospect, the 80's was kind of a golden age. The last truly great American decade.
@@bigtechisbigbrother8690 I agree 100%. 👍 The 80's was literally 10x better than the times we are living in now. It truly was the peak of the American era.
I'm from San Diego and went to live in Phoenix Az. in 1987. I had a brand new '87 Toyota mini truck with a nice Kenwood tape deck and 10 inch MTX woofers behind the seat. This song shook the ground underneath my truck when I played it. It was a glorious time.
I hear ya man...Those were some glorious days!!!
Wonder how many times we passed each at metro or on central lol
Too many to count probably. One of the most memorable moments on Central was when Taylor Dane passed us riding on the the back of a motorcycle. Me and my friends all looked at each other and said, "Na, it can't be her!" We were listening to local radio station at the time, maybe KZZP or something, and they confirmed our sighting. Cool times.
@@Sosidedan true story....my brother had a lifted red Toyota and was there that night...she wanted a ride and climbed up and they went for a cruise lol her favorite colour was red so it was a perfect fit lol good times indeed!
Thank you Mr. Meatpants, my kids thought my Taylor Dane story was B.S. You just legitimized my experience for them. :) 95% of each of my stories are actually true. I just embellish about 5% tops.
Still tha JAM!!! 2024
I’m listening to Nu Shooz Point Of No Return early September 2024
2:19
2023 and still rocking.
Almost 2025 and still rocking to this and I am pushing 50 years old.
Valerie Day is so beautiful!!!!
Crazy 80s memories!! I was 11 when this song came out. My friend and I lip synced this song in the mirror. Such innocent fun and I miss the 80s!
Hi Rebecca,hope you’re okay ?
I just wish I would have appreciated this time more when I was living in it.
Everytime I hear this song it sticks in my head for days
I second that.
aaah GREAT memories!!! the music of my childhood. this group is great and underrated
Stationed in West Germany in 87... lots of crazy alerts and training...but when we were off...man...the 80s are worthy of the memories. 2024...57 now and I still can close my eyes and see the social scene back then...outstanding....outstanding.
Welcome to the Golden Era of creative sounding audio gold that will forever define a vitally important decade in our music history.
i love when she's like "I'm at the point of no retur-HERRRNNNN" gets me everytime
I've always wondered how that was spelled...thank you😅😅😅
@R Cruz just looked up the lyrics...it IS "I'm at the point" 😉
Thanks for playing...
@R Cruz Cool! Google, Apple, and Spotify confirm my theory of relativity!
Keep up the good work 😉
I love the tight harmony of back ground vocals!!! Nice.
80s was the best musically so far throughout time!! In so many ways
The best music was recorded in the 80's & 90's. The current music can't compare to the music back then!
I like the 80s better.
What a great song!!!😘❤️
I never get tired of this song & video! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
1987...I was in the Army this song was a banger...loved it! Still do! I like adding these old gems to my techno mixes...people love it!
Same here....
This peaked @ #28 on the hot 100?? I thought it was a bigger hit cuz I used to hear this on the radio a lot back then
Ranking issue
Probably because not a lot of people bought the single or it became more popular on the radio only in certain regions of America. This definitely did better on the radio in cities.
I want some new shoes, Nu Shooz! ❤
Wouldn't trade any decade to grow up in the 80's was the best and so was the music and this song was fire and still is.
Nothing like 80s music best of the best ❤❤❤
i remember this..i had just finished high school..it reminds me of so much that happened in that period of my life..from Nairobi kenya
This was a really great era! The 80s forever in mind!
Perkings Park Suttgart Germany in 1987. Greetings from Germany from an old man. Now Iam 57 years old. What a great time we have
This music video is the epitome of the 80s
80's is the greatest decade for music,whether it be rock,pop or House
I'm glad my dad has still kept the vhs tape that has a series of very old songs and this one was one of them. I'm also glad to be an oldschool person even though I am currently 20, I prefer the old than the new
You may be a true old soul.
This era was my jam!!!!
80s STILL RULE!!!!💯💪😎
I am so glad that i lived this unforgettable decade. The 80's were the time of my live.
Only heard this for the first time ever a couple of days ago on RUclips. I love it. I much prefer this to the famous 'I Can't Wait' though I like that too.
Totally agree. I only discover this about a month ago and I love it. I had heard of the title before but never actually heard the song but it popped up my suggested videos a few weeks and I'd give it a listen. I love it when I discover new 80s tunes, to me anyway, as if they were brand new. I love it.
Still bumping this in 2020, LOVE 80’s music
Its the best decade this Earth has ever experienced so far, the 90's is when things rolled downhill.
davidca96 totally agree, we lost PAC, BIG, and a lot of other greats followed
The 80s was fun, the 90s was depressing..
I love this songs
The beat absolutely slaps 🔥
I used to love this song. Still a great jam! 1987 was a great year!
Music like this needs to make a comeback, DESPERATELY in 2021!
Make It 2022 and Beyond!!!!
Teenagers today are too cynical and jaded for this kind of upbeat, catchy music a lot of the time.
This was a fun time in my life …great music good times!!! The 80’s!!!
Brings a Fkin tear my eye !!! WTF I miss these times so simple fun and jus chill I'm crying right now man smh !!! The video was beyond it's time I love all of you. So original fun fly artistic sooo damn good
While I loved "I can't wait" I must say I loved this even more! 80s forever!
Awesome music! Good times, good beat, good memories
Poolside. 1986... what a year! The 1980's... take me back!!! Much better times! 🥺
Ronald Reagan!!!
Got to see them in 1986 at WDW in Florida for our senior class night out. They were Awesome in concert !! Music was so hot and fresh back then , It will never ever be the same nowadays!! I’m 52 years old and this song still kicks A_S!! My best friend even snagged one of the drummers sticks and it said Nu Shooz on it!! He still has it to this day😎 No other decade has been or will be the Eighties!! Rock on Nu Shooz!!
I take it they performed at Pleasure Island? My sister worked at WDW for nine years.
What a classic. Back in the 80's, they used to always play this song at the roller rinks. Brings back great memories. I miss the 80's.
My first time watching this video, I'm 53 Omggg this song and video made me dance and smile. I miss these days. JUST AWESOME
One of my favorite songs of the 80's! I always loved it when they played this at Oak Lawn Roller Rink back then. Dam, now I want to go skating!
Now I feel so blessed to have graduated in 1985! What a great decade! Sooo many great memories! Wish I hadn’t been in such a hurry to grow up! Would love to go back and see my young beautiful girlfriend again! Sigh...
