Alantic Starr - Always *DayOne Reacts*

[@H4045]

I hear songs like this and am so thankful I grew up when they were popular.

[@nickhaswell6011]

Yep agreeeed

[@doobernow]

Me too!!

[@redfullpack]

I m thankful too. In fact any young lady from 80s would swoon if her BF sings this song and Masterpiece to her. Not so sure for today's generation

[@redfullpack]

"Rain or Shine" by Five Star too

[@txrojas]

This is why the 80s were so great. Any genre or style of music could be a hit. The 80s had it all.

[@bradstafford485]

Yes! and.. we listened to it all! From Rock to R&B!

[@christinamitchell6796]

sooooo true absolutely from R&B to soft rock it was all great and filled with heart and soul.

[@Droxzzfn007]

I wasn’t born and did not grow up in the 80’s, sadly😂but I could not agree more, I’m obsessed with the 80’s music and the style, plus I’d think people were much nicer then haha, or shall I say happier?

[@redfullpack]

This is the Most Beautiful song ever written, Angela. Any lady would fall in love with her guy singing this Angela, you have good taste in love songs produced before your time. Hope your Mom have listened to this song before giving birth to you

[@vidfreak727]

True masterpiece with every bit of soul poured into it!

[@AndrewSparsholtt]

My Brother Steve and his wife Tracy, had this wonderful song on there wedding video

[@BLVIT]

my wedding song 1/8/87 and still with my love 36 years till always

[@angelomaurizio1668]

I'd heard the song was written in 1982 then placed away for 4 years. The group didnt think it was the right time then. Turned out to be perfect timing when they'd finally recorded it - hitting Number 1 on three charts, adult contemporary, R&B and Pop charts in 1987.

[@arabiasantigo4870]

Wow. I didn't know it hit #1in so many genres..I just remembered the #1in pop charts what a classic song...

[@isaackovitz4791]

Oh wow! I completely forgot about this song! What a beautiful duet! Thanks for digging this one up Angela!

[@nickhaswell6011]

And secret lovers

[@sophnoch4929]

Me too! I forgot all about Atlantic Starr! Need to add this to my playlist asap and also I'll Remember You

[@FoamySlobbers]

"how bout us" Champaign people vote this up!!

[@leonwhitted5662]

True R&B that has stood the test of time. Atlantic Star had many true classics such as Closer Than Close, Circles, If your Heart isn't In It, One Lover, Freakaristic, Masterpiece and many more. Loved listening to them in the late seventies and through the eighties. Always is the wedding song for the eighties and their original line up in the seventies was excellent.

[@WalkerOne]

In the early 90s, this song was played at every wedding i went to.

[@aubreychism2721]

I get teary-eyed whenever I hear this song. It makes me think about my ex wife who I still love up to this day.

[@gsprings43]

one of the great r&b groups of the 80's

[@janegordon3514]

We are still loving this song after all these incredible years. My husband and I were 11 years into our marriage at the time this beautiful classic was born. We both knew that the words of this song were our story -- from the few years of our dating, then confidently forward to our marriage for life We welcomed a precious family of four children into our family during those years that followed after our marriage in 1976. For a number of those years, we'd hear this love song playing on the radio or on playlists in commercial buildings. And then --- it quietly stopped. Thanks to youtube, we can listen any time to our love songs and reminisce about our love story of nearly 47 years and going stronger than ever! Thank you for sharing a bit of OUR past that we wish could be a part of this generation's story ---- faithful devotion without compromise to the world OR others!

[@arabiasantigo4870]

When that song came out in 1987 I was A sophomore in High School it brings back wonderful memories..It's been the wedding song to a few wedding 's I been to back in the day...

[@langdale55]

This song is so special to me, but maybe not as the record intended. Was in the charts when my Grand Mum died. Over 30 years ago and I still miss her. Always. X

[@MrSpock-ww3qt]

One of the best duets of all time in my opinion, alongside Terrence Trent D'arbys and Des'rees Delicate. I sung this song on bended knee in front of 60 people when I proposed to my wife Mendel. I hid in the Stationary cupboard and then when everyone was at their desks, Me and a guitarist flung the door open and I walked up to Mendel in my white suit, took her hand and serenaded her. She said yes by the way. The entire office was in tears, men and women....a memorable song for this reason.

[@andyp2971]

A beautiful song indeed and it was my cousins wedding song in 1991

[@RoryVanucchi]

Beautiful song. Big at weddings including my own.

[@GUILDAMESH]

When I was a kid that song was played at all the family weddings and other black weddings I went to in the late 80's

[@shakycam3]

This is such a roller skating song to me! Omg. Takes me back. Another one that comes to mind is “Make It Real” by The Jets. The lead singer is 14 on that one.

[@ampthefreethinker5335]

The legendary Atlantic star 💯

That was the WEDDING SONG OF THE 80s TO THE 00s!!

[@quicktastic]

A staple on the dance floor going out in the 80's. Not that I ever danced, but this got played a lot.

[@carlosdd262]

I'm from Brazil and a love this song, one of my favorites

[@Deemac70]

I miss the 80s ❤good times 👍🍺🎸

[@dghatt3491]

This is a wedding song. Great reaction. If you haven't already, you must react to Atlantic Starr's "Secret Lovers", an absolutely beautiful, but different kind of love song.

[@themajicman745]

If you like this you would love "Reunited" by Peaches and Herb. The live version. Another duet and one of my favorites is Ashford and Simpson singing "Is it Still Good to You"

[@Eric4471066]

This song is Alantic Starr's biggest hit song ever!!! The song peaked at the #1 spot not only the Billboard Hot 100 chart, but it also hit #1 on the Billboard Soul and Adult Comtempary charts as well. This was my favorite love song of the 1980s!!!

[@johnw2761]

This is one of mine and my wife's favorite song. Very beautiful song.

[@micah19641]

Greatest love song ever!

[@Fldrt1772]

At the end of my brother's graduation in 1988, this wonderful song played. No words to express the emotion.

[@One.Zero.One101]

This song is still being played everyday on Philippine radio.

[@betchieharrison5526]

My favorite classic love song for all time

[@Allencartercomix]

Classic '80s R&B/Pop ballad. Now you have to react to their complete opposite hit "Secret Lovers."

[@rbermea]

This is real R&B I grew up with. The song was made back in '87, so I was just a year old when this song came out.

[@mildredpierce4506]

This was very popular at weddings back in the day.

[@jhas727]

Roller Skating is the only place would have heard this. And, I know every word.

[@williamboylan4516]

I believe that this is the official version of the song but not the version that was played on the radio. The radio version was about a minute shorter minus segments of repetition and an instrumental segment. Yes, this was a very popular wedding song in the late 1980's and early 90's. The beginning is so uplifting and inspiring.

[@davidcollver6155]

Recording studios usually made multiple versions. Radio stations were giving an allotted amount of minutes seconds for each song so the recording Studios had to match that. Then in the early eighties when MTV came out they stretched the songs out to match their videos or vice versa. That's just all the information that all the people that know this stuff have been pushing out so all of us know what's been going on with the music industry and why everything is the way it is.

[@jerickson725]

Song played for the first dance at my wedding reception in 1987. Great song, but bittersweet memories for me; my husband passed away 15 years later when our children were only 8 and 4 years old.

[@rogerlewis1361]

My condolences to you.

This was the wedding song for people of my age. Every time I hear it I think of one of my friends who DJ’d. He absolutely hated the song, because he had to play it at every gig. 😂 No denying it is one of the most beautiful songs ever.

[@barryleeper5634]

That song is one of those must play songs at a wedding reception. I shot wedding photos for over ten years and that song was always played.

Love this song. Loved it when it came out. My list of loved love songs is a bit short. But this one is there of course. Thank you for the reaction. I do wish I could exchange such words with someone. Still a romantic. : ) Just a wee bit off topic... I've been a romantic since age 6, when I got a crush on an older woman. She was twelve. She looked so beautiful to me, and she had the true hallmark of adulthood-- she wore a ring!! That was a big deal for me. She never knew how I felt, never told her, wouldn't have known how. Shyness kept me silent. It was silly anyway, but it wasn't. It's tough when you feel something like that for the first time and you don't know how to say it, don't dare if you did.

Sweet tune about real committed love! Nice comments & attention to lyric content. A couple others by Atlantic Starr with a little more let’s say, ‘entangled’ nature: Secret Lover, & If Your Heart Isn’t In It. Happy New Year! 🎈🎉

[@douglastaggart9360]

They've another great song called am i dreaming .

[@angelowhite4701]

When you listen to the love songs from back then is how we felt for each other. Men weren't so emotionally withdrawn as people preach. If not how could we have made such beautiful songs. Think about it. We had been through wars hard economic times and many changes but the difference in our generation then the recent generations we never let the hardships affect our hearts, the love we had for each other. It's a difficult time for many now, even me a boomer, gen x who still dance with his wife and speak to her in the same manner you heard in this song. Don't let the world make you lose the tenderness in your heart. If so you will never have that type of love as in the video.

[@vidfreak727]

Well, we didn't have looney people out there on social media explaining their impossible to reach standards because there was no social media.
