Junior Giscombe - Mama Used to Say with Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra

[@amandaa5104]

His vocals still sound the same....love this.

[@d.i.g.i.t.a.l.9268]

No they dont.

[@wj8678]

Not quite

[@HoopCITY76]

Brian Johnson Considering how much he’s aged in general, his range is still mostly intact. Many other artists lose their voice much sooner.

[@CarlosHernandez-yf3jv]

This song was back in 1982 i was born in 1982😊😊

[@CharlieSWBB]

Crazy. They're better

[@Peal99t]

Junior still has a great voice and he seems like a kind Soul as well. He kept himself in shape and has a wonderful onstage presence. Go Junior...!!!

[@liaroncati5237]

Maravilloso quien no bailo este gran temazo?????❤️🇦🇷

[@jessicapratt4098]

As a 80’s baby I remember and still love this song ❤

[@happyclappy1805]

I loved this the first time around and it has aged like good wine. As has Mr Giscombe.What a legend and pioneer

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

If you wanna put Junior’s performance here into perspective...go watch the original video after this. You could actually layer the two vocals and not tell the difference. 🏆🧡

[@clementitegbe4278]

He came from a time music was done with pure talent not augmented with tech like it is today.

[@rodneyplayer5785]

He's incredible and still grooving like back in the day.

[@lexgraham2118]

THAT PART.

[@simoncbr900rr]

He had tragedy in his personal life with his wife and daughter both dying of multiple schlerosis😢. This song is a classic❤

[@NebyouSolomon-ek7fy]

I wonder if the daughter had more than just progressive MS because she died in 8 years or 6 years

[@GREATTECH1]

FANTASTIC PERFORMER.. He still sounds GREAT! I watched his testimony of losing both his wife and daughter to MS, and my heart went out to him. SO SAD, but he doesn't give up. Keep pushing forward, Junior. You are a LIVING LEGEND!!!

[@c3mi979]

Damn, I never knew that. I couldn't even imagine. Respect to him for pushing thru and still performing and sounding as great as ever!

[@liliethcameron7110]

See kids the old guys still got it. Fantastic, and mama is always right.

[@amigoPep]

Wooooow !!!!! The same voice !!!!

[@vesuviusenigma7739]

He be that senior with the Junior voice

[@Afiplaysmusic]

He still has his voice. Great!

[@karenpenrice7018]

Love you Junior, your're looking good and still sounding great, I didn't know you are from a west Indies decent and living in Britain, I always thought you were from the states. Well anyway this is still one of my favorite jams!

[@derrickwright5728]

To put this in perspective: how older this song is and he’s singing live at older age now it’s nothing but pure TALENT.

[@shesslucky]

1:55 He still got it! What a funky hit. He, like many other Black British artists are not given their dues for their artistic contributions to this country. And before I go, Mr Junior we need your voice, lift us out of this musical drought.

[@2dalight1]

Soooo true!!!

[@chewybunz]

Yes, I recall reading an article in the New York Rocker back in the 1980s about how Black American artists were worshipped by Britons, but Afro-British performers were seldom embraced in the same way.

[@blacqueisraelgoogle1]

Wow I didn’t know the brother was from Britain.

[@mrflynn01]

Please, music these days is trash!!!!!!

[@joshuaharris6934]

YES LORD!!!!!!!!

[@sanjsub1800]

Junior smashed it.... he still sounds awesome. Enjoyed it as much as Charlie Wilson when he was on the hootenanny

[@sherrisolomon8673]

Sanj Sub, lol!

[@tammysain3113]

LOL I'm sorry, what was Charlie Wilson on? I know I'm 3 years late but, *whuet?! *

[@TedTalksBass]

this is a killer arrangment

[@angellesupastar2904]

For real

[@positivemanifestations3247]

Junior is a great singer who sounds the same as the recordings!

[@louier3846]

I'm in awe... his voice, still so youthful, he always had this teen touch in his voice... thanks for the memories Junior. Love ya! ❤

[@calevolutionhd]

Junior is still at it! Yes sir! He still got moves too!

[@Zenativine]

Ayy you here too

[@nativeshankin]

Its amazing how his voice sounds exactly the same as in the recording. This it what an actual singer is.

[@hectorrodrig]

I'm just finding out that he's British... That is soo cool... I never realized it from listening to this song in the 80's, still one of my favorites.

[@quayquon]

I’m 50 yrs old and I remember when this came out . Whyz 1070 am radio station used to play this 📻

[@nardaardila5129]

[@degustibusnonestdisputandu5123]

Germany: June '82.I served as a private and we where at the Luneburger heide and this was my topfavorite at that time! And still is.....................

[@lydianian]

Amazing to see he is still alive🎉Love this song 「Mama used to say」🎉Now September 2024🎉Very popular dance song in Roppongi Japan in 1982🎉

[@simoncbr900rr]

How many sound the same as the record,and at his age!!!! Amazing

[@williwombat1066]

This was good too see. Of course he’s slaying it. It’s HIS song.

[@RM.210]

No lip singing & amazing energy for his age i applause

[@JuliaHarrisx]

Oh this made my night! Last time I saw Junior was on top of the pops in the 80’s. Tonight I sang every word and stepped back in time. Thanks guys and huge love Junior! 💋 xx

[@cherryb6238]

Same! Happy New Year! xoxo

[@veggie42]

I wondered where he disappeared to like others

[@JuliaHarrisx]

@@cherryb6238 Happy New Year hun xx

[@cherryb6238]

Cheers! xoxo

[@ohcaptainvideo]

Junior now a senior but still sounding great! One of my all time favorite grooves which never gets old. The only thing missing is the clanging sounds.

[@danmccarthy4700]

WOW. Still in the original key! Get it Junior!!

[@epicgamesforyou3615]

LIVE YO LIFE 🎶 Great band and back up

[@kountzer]

I came back to houston in 83, and I was caught up in the Univ of Houston cougars basketball championship run. Phi Slama Jama. This song was hot on the radio then and sort of blended in with all the basketball hype. So whenever I hear this song I think about that basketball playoff run.

[@andyhinds542]

Should now by all accounts be renamed Senior Giscombe. Joking aside, that was brilliant! 80s funk will never get old.

[@chipapa50]

This song was the jam in the day and now that he is older...man, he slayed this performance. Amazing talent that deserves more credit

[@michellewright99]

Wow. He sounds good and has lots of energy. He's smart enough not to attempt what he can't handle vocally anymore so you can just enjoy him singing. Nice.

[@ALANLACORTEBRITO]

BEAUTIFULL MESSAGE IN MUSIC

[@juzzmeehlala7485]

He sounds absolutely amazing and got the moves, too!!! Love it!!!

[@rodneyplayer5785]

Junior please come to the states. We need you to Grace us with your incredible talent and presence. Godspeed ❤️

[@Wannabe_Baby]

How is he not being asked to perform at EVERY music event on the planet? Still an outstanding voice, song is as amazing as ever, a great look and he's even got some dance moves.

[@deenad3562]

*SIR, you are Amazing!!!* 💕💕💕

[@gobears6487]

OMG 1982.... I LOVED THIS

[@scottiejaden-zz6nz]

[@zavier0123]

[@mrrig3414]

Unbelievable !! His voice sounds amazing 35-38 years later !!

[@patrickphokoane641]

Beautifully done

[@wildflowersun5840]

Junior was my Intro, to British Soul 🇺🇸. Thank, you!!! Later, Supported, Loose Ends, Soul II Soul, Sade... 📿 Your Benefits are still flowing

[@darincampbell467]

I have always loved Junior’s accent! I love to hear black people with British accents talk. Junior was a good artist! This was real music, back in the day! Please, bring those days back! Peace.

[@kyrokyro2343]

I first met Jr when I was 16 , ...he predicted a number one hit ...I was with his cousins, "Glassy" , and Tony . ...I was in LONDON, ( Thornton heath ) ...I am 60 now living in NYC for OVER 30years...

[@hectorrodrig]

He must've drank lots of wine throughout his life because as wine ages well so has he❤❤❤

[@nyjo.brennen]

2024, still rocking to this and still fortunate to have Mama still saying gems to me. 💎🫂🙏🏾

[@TruTube.1.]

PURE TALENT! LOVE IT. GOOD DAYS SINCE 1981.

[@giovannicenturino1310]

wow the 80's music really brought all cultures and races together!!! we need that again

[@seangallactico11]

Such a talented vocalist in 1982 when he first appeared on the music scene & nothing has changed!.....absolute class!👍

[@Spontaneousprint]

Its a jam 💃🏽

[@aliscat]

Was shocked at how I still remembered the words! I too stepped back in time. Still good. Happy new year.

[@gollycom]

I was shocked how I got up to bust some moves and I fell flat in my face 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🙌🙌😷😷🐭

[@reggaeone]

just heard the new reggae version of this song with Junior and reggae great Luciano!! Glad to see Junior still doing his thang. I used to jam and party on this song back in the day.

[@wxyzzoroastro]

Congrats BBC for rescuing this pearl, Mr. Junior is superb!

[@brucewayne-xe4po]

[@dimacasaoui9190]

J'écoutais ce morceau sur la route de France au Maroc, mon frère conduisait et mettait ça,j'avais 16 ans j'en ai 49 aujourd'hui et j'aime toujours autant !👍

[@JayKofa]

This Song Grew Up And Aged Really Well! #Classic

[@moxyblackfiddler]

Don't fear the man that has practiced many kicks. Fear the man that has mastered one. One hit wonder.

[@CharlieSWBB]

His vocals and energy are still top notch and he totally made me smile after coming here from the original video.. first time enjoying thanks to" 94.7 the wave " thanks to those folks!!!

[@corneliusmartin6600]

[@sharris79]

Timeless disco record!! Brilliant to see him on the Hootenanny 👍🏼

[@Rashy225]

It’s more of a funk/soul song. Disco was dead in 1982.

[@wildflowersun5840]

Soul, Not Disco, There is a difference in basic Style & Rhythm

[@philmoncel2150]

He still got it! 🎉

[@edwardwilliams2438]

Junior....this was my jam back in the day. Now, to hear and see a Live performance is a true treat. The band is on point and the backup singers are really tight. Thanks for this bit of R&B history. Junior is looking good and still has that stage persona....Live your life, indeed!

[@matthewmcdonough5039]

[@katieclarke1352]

I remember having this on 12” and wearing the bloody thing out on one of those record players that was built in a suit case!! Many of you know what I’m on about lol. I think I was 14 when this came out and I could never get bored of it. Amazing to find Junior singing this 40 odd years later. Thank you to the OP and loved reading everyone’s comments. Xxxx

[@eclectica1]

Yes, I grew up with one of those record players in the family home.

[@robertescobar6129]

Junior is still rocking it !!!

[@jeromedevashishkurapati4193]

I love the chorus in this one.... This version is what I would enjoy hearing in Carnivals.

[@rkshores]

Ah hell yeah bro is hitting hard . back in the day you couldn't get on stage if you couldn't play this .
