FIRST TIME HEARING Tevin Campbell - Can We Talk | REACTION!!🔥🔥🔥

[@shawnytv_]

I now have a playlist of all the old school songs I’ve done so far.🔥🔥🔥

[@iveywebb]

Great reaction. I hope you react to the rest of this CLASSIC album "I'm Ready." It came out in '93. He was 15 or 16 when he recorded it. Another huge single from the album is the title track "I'm Ready." Every song is 🔥 imo.

[@kyboy38kentucky86]

I was 12, still playlist as well

[@ukfor9bbn4ever56]

@@stephanieguthrie832 FACTS!!! I was 12, still stays in rotation on my playlist lol

[@DanielleGillmoreJohnson]

Babyface wrote "Can We Talk", which was released in 1993. Tevin was only 15-16 years old. His voice is golden. This is my favorite song...hands down! This is my first time watching your reaction. You summed up this song perfectly when you said it's a MASTERPIECE! YES!

[@Goats22]

it almost went to usher! good thing babyface ended up giving it to tevin

[@melaniemaden6490]

He was only 15 when he put Can we talk out. He has many hits. I'm Ready and many more.

[@jacksreece8084]

Tevin is legend. I'm Ready. Pull up the album. Wont be disappointed. Yes he is still alive and has performed award shows.

[@leeby67]

This song was written and produced Babyface

[@ericdennis3899]

Written And Produced By The Legendary Babyface In 1993 Tevin Got Hits My G Tell Me What You Want Me To Do.Alone With You,Goodbye Always In My Heart & The Panty Dropper Shhh Written And Produced By Prince 🔥🔥

[@emilyjenkins489]

"Tell Me What You Want Me To Do"...really great vocals by Tevin.

[@americanpride7677]

Babyface Edmonds bruh..... he wrote all the top hits of the 90s. Boyz II Men, Usher, Mariah, Whitney, JoJo n Kacy, New Edition, Bobby Brown.....all dem

[@loriannrichardson7644]

I think you'd like his song, "I'm Ready." It was also a hit.

[@jessieball6195]

Not nearly the hit that this song was.

[@CarolynOwens-x2e]

You are so right! I grew up in this era, and still love my music. It’s not the same today!

[@niquesworld19]

And the fact he was around 14 or 15 when he song this song

[@shawnytv_]

Whattt that’s crazy

[@larrydavis5630]

A true master male vocalist!! Years later and he's older and can still sing his songs in the exact same key. It's a shame that the record label dissed him the way it did. He will always be on my playlist!!

[@-BabyValentine-]

“Tell me what you want me to do” Tevin, is god tier 😁 Anywho it’s surprising seeing someone around my age hearing this song for the first time.

[@cocopuff7038]

Yes This Boy was a beast in the late 80's early 90's please React to Tevin Campbell "Alone With You" and "Goodbye" I think Al B Sure Produced these songs

[@mattthomas2135]

Babyface wrote and produced this track

[@Jazzymama]

I was feeling nostalgic and listening to Alone With You and realized that it kind of sound like Right Now by Al B. Sure so it makes sense if he produced it

[@sharonjarrett8953]

Tevin Campbell was big back in the days, and he still performs today!! Please React to his song and video " I'm Ready" Can we talk came out (1993)

[@wesleyflaskey75]

Can we talk is my absolute favorite R&B song ever, the song was out during my high school years and I was able to get the love of my life to go out with me and it lasted over 3 years, memories ♥️

[@lilliekeisha]

Im ready is my fav

[@shandrastrickland1260]

Always in my heart, Tell me what you want me to do, I'm ready.... All hits! Tevin Campbell! Yes he's still living also

[@jessieball6195]

I would hope so-he was only about 17 or so in '91.

[@sinevins]

Best song..... I'm Ready

[@alexxist.8746]

I love Tevin Campbell! Please listen to Don’t Say Goodbye Girl! This song is epic!

[@carolki1315]

I’m around the same age as Tevin, and he was one of my favorite artists back then! ❤❤ I love seeing him on the Billboard, hot 100 chart and hearing him on the radio. KZbin really doesn’t do the songs justice, u should’ve heard all this on the radio back in the day❤❤

[@MissLadyG99]

You should check out "Tomorrow (A Better You A Better Me)" by Tevin Campbell.

[@deniseriley6622]

" Round and Round " was his first solo hit in 1990. He was 14. Can you also check out , Ready for the World. They were very popular in the 80's. " Oh Sheila " " Love You Down " " Digital Display "

[@jessieball6195]

"Can We Talk" was his biggest charting hit by far.

[@mattfigota5879]

‘Always in my heart’ ‘Back to the world’

[@c.s.m.k5737]

90s RnB was as smooth as... So glad I experienced my college years with these music.

[@willwhitman7534]

I know this reaction is a year old but glad I hit it, that late 80s through 90s R&B was a huge part of my teenage years and have so many albums from the time. We need to bring this sound back and get back into that emotion, there's more to life than the party up scene. This is where you get deep. Brian McKight, Boyz II Men, KC and JoJo / Jodeci, SWV, En Vogue, Portrait, Hi-Five, Tony Toni Tone and so on, all smooth.

[@breal9028]

More old skool! Mary J Blige and Method Man “You’re all I need”

Hits to react to: I'm Ready Tell Me What You Want Me To Do Dry Your Eyes Always in My Heart Round and Round Tomorrow Could You Learn To Love Shh Don't Say Goodbye Girl Tevin is a living legend and one of the best black male singers to ever live

[@thefarmingnutritionist4702]

Covered all of them. I'd add "Goodbye" to that list.

[@stephanieguthrie832]

This song will always be on my playlist

[@angiejames7820]

This song came out in 1993 he was 15 or 16 yr. Tevin got another song u can check out I'm ready by him

[@marklouis1890]

This dropped the year I was born 93. Love Tevin's music

[@tajuanadinkins]

Just saw him 2022 in concert he is touring now ....

[@deborahlundy6892]

I just downloaded this song again I forgot how much I loved it

[@tajuanadinkins]

A bunch of hits his whole album a hit

[@BJN1253]

I believe this song came out in 1993. It's from his second album. It's also his most famous song.

[@Bosay831Gaming]

It's a crime I don't see it mentioned here, but it's one of Tevin's best jams and produced by the mega team of Kyle West and Al B Sure - Alone With You.

[@vincespell]

That's Tevin Campbell! He got a few hits, but if you want to see him at his best check out his first video "Tomorrow" That will show you the talent that is Tevin Campbell

[@doreensmith5957]

Love this song

[@lacyedesouza2144]

Fun fact: Tevin Campbell started singing in his local church in Texas. I don’t remember what city.

[@pamelacharles8597]

I love his song shhh

[@bethanythatsme]

The crush I've had on Tevin since we were babies! Edit: naw....see, that's why the 90s were better. He wanted to get to know her. That actually does happen 🖤

[@tajuanadinkins]

2023 he is touring now and producing his new album

[@DanielleGillmoreJohnson]

Hey Shawny, check out Tevin Campbell's song "Alone with You". That's another great song of his that still gets played on the radio.

[@milliedizon]

Love this old school song! Such a vibe! Been watching all your BTS reactions but couldn't resist checking this out. Looking forward to more old school and BTS reactions 💜

[@shawnytv_]

Thanks for watching🙏🏽 more to come!🔥🔥

[@cynthiasuggs8204]

Give it up to Baby face who wrote the song and gave it to Tevin because Tevin was perfect for this song 🎶

[@queenkeesh8660]

Love this song my jam can’t help but sing to it

[@TheRealKymiPoo]

🔥🔥 so talented

[@wesleyflaskey75]

This was me and my 1st loves song, I still listen to it, the back story is he was founded by PRINCE and was able to secure him a deal working very close with Quincy Jones on his Albums, I want to say it was 94 ish when it came out it was on the radio every hour on the hour, then it got leaked that he was gay if it would have been today it would have been no big deal but seeing that this is over 30 years ago, he was still able to release three top 10 hits and can we talk going to number one and staying there for a substantial amount of time, great guy, great singer, Tevin Canbell is the man, that song (whole Album titled I'm Ready) is a all time classic and a must have for 90s R & B 🤟♥️

[@jonesjustin1985]

I’m ready! ✌🏽

[@connieconnie4661]

Can you please react to Shake you down by Gregory Abbott

[@dejahthoris2769]

Yes. This is a good one. Love this song.

[@lacyedesouza2144]

As he got older he worked with Prince. He (Prince) wrote a song for Tevin call “Shhhh” and then Prince recorded the same song (“Shhhh”) himself. Both versions are amazing,however, Prince performed that song and made it even hotter. (For grown folk)

[@OO7eleven]

This was the first major hit from Babyface after his split from L.A. Reid as a writing/production team. If recommend Babyface's " It's No Crime" and the video version of "Whip Appeal" I think you might like.

[@grow1820]

Tevin Campbell's voice is one of a kind. Please react to Ralph Trasvant.

[@adudley27]

You maybe be took to ever watch or even remember Disney’s “A Goofy Movie,” but Tevin Campbell voiced the character ‘Powerline.’ He also sang the movie theme song “EYE TO EYE” as ‘Powerline.’ He also sings “STAND OUT” which was a’Powerline’ lip-synced by ‘Goofy’s” son ‘Max’ who also dressed like him a to impress his crush during a school assembly. You can watch it on Disney+.

[@JordanRiversTactics]

I was 10 when it came out. My mom and I would sing it together being silly while pops would play it on his tenor saxophone. Grew up in a musically talented family and it’s nothing to hear one of us bust out singing this song now.

[@randy164]

Tevin Campbell - "What do I say"

[@tajuanadinkins]

TEVIN ls living the industry did him wrong do to his preference in life he was shauned at a early age but his fans got him back he touring we sounded off on KZbin for him and now he is back baby 2023 working on a new album

[@HBCUPride]

Tevin has a ton of hits "Goodbye", "Im Ready", "Just Ask Me To" . 🔥🔥🔥

[@mikimike]

"I'm Ready" is another good song by "Tevin Campbell"

[@mikimike]

I think the suspicion of being homosexual, held him back because he is a great singer.

[@LesleyThompson85]

Love this song and Tevin's voice ever since Quincy Jones showcased him on his "Back On The Block" album. Check out Avery Wilson's remake of this song. Avery sang it live at Stevie Mackey's Taco Tuesdays.

[@tamerakraft9199]

Yay

[@yourfavpersuasion9385]

lmao I didn't discover this song until last year . I was 3 when this came out

[@alexw853]

When this album dropped Tevin Campbell sent shockwaves throughout the entire country!! I am from Arizona so I am proud to say that when this record was first heard in Phoenix the ONLY radio station at the time that was playing Hip Hop and R&B in Phoenix (Power 92.3, no longer in business) had this song in regular rotation. Same as Tevin Campbell I am a fellow Southwesterner which is a unique regional heritage for American freed slaves, we are "Frontier negroes" lol. Tevin is a good guy. He was never about causing or participating in drama in the music business. He's good energy and was discovered by Quincy Jones. Growing up I had a crush on him but knew he was gay. I just thought he was a pretty man, period. I don't like the rumors surrounding Quincy Jones (whose daughter Kidada Jones is pretty and was a close friend of Aaliyah's, they grew up together) but make no mistake about it, Mr. Jones knew talent when he saw it upon meeting Tevin. Tevin Campbell is from a small town in Waxahatchie, Texas, and there has been so much talent to come out of Texas. Willie D and the Geto Boys (Old school Southern Hip Hop), the openly gay deceased Quindon Tarver who came into the music scene AFTER Tevin, Quindon was from Plano ("The R&B Prince of Plano") , Jamie Foxx, Yarbrough and Peoples, the list goes on and on. Tevin unfortunately became homeless not too long ago and was living on the streets of Los Angeles (super dangerous seeing as how I myself just moved from Los Angeles county!) but he is not homeless anymore. I am still looking into how come he never became a bigger star and ended up homeless. Tevin Campbell is an openly gay man but I think he was unwilling to be a gigolo (male prostitute) for big promotion and industry executives which could be part of why he fell off the radar a little bit. He was always handsome even in his younger years. Tevin was mentored by the late Michael Jackson. His breakthrough "T.E.V.I.N." album released in 1991 when he worked with Al B. Sure and Al B. Sure's cousin KYLE WEST, they produced a record titled "Alone With You". Super sexy song he recorded to prove that he was becoming a man even though I think at the time he was just fifteen years old. If you watch some of his older interviews before he turned eighteen he definitely sounded mature beyond his years, charming and respectful. But hey, that is what the industry will do to you, make you mature before your time. Yes, Tevin is alive. It is kind and considerate of you that you had the human decency to ask such an important question because of the fact that American Black men and women have built the industry but have yet to receive their proper respects and dues and many have died young and penniless. Even when we were under Jim Crow and the payola post world war two period our artists were dying young and in poverty, which is so sad considering the fact that many of the much older songs I have heard on the radio growing up I learned were remakes that were originally written by those same people I mentioned who died poor. If you watch a video of Tevin Campbell performing "Alone With You" LIVE? Oh my goodness, his vocals are SULTRY, he sounds SO DAMN GOOD (and grown as hell, lol). You would not believe until you watch and hear for yourself. There are other records of his you would love too, like "Goodbye" (original and the remix!) and his "I'm Ready" single written by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds (not to be confused with ALBUM entitled "I'm Ready".) Please go through all of his older catalogs. Tevin Campbell is so RIDICULOUSLY and UNFAIRLY underrated as an artist and I think he was deliberately underpromoted due to perverts in the music business who wanted to spite him. They stalled his career. Those violators who only saw dollar signs and a young, handsome gay male they wanted to prey upon when he was a minor. In 1989, Tevin collaborated with Quincy Jones performing lead vocals for "Tomorrow" on Jones' album "Back on the Block" and released his Platinum-selling debut album, T.E.V.I.N. The album included his highest- charting single to date, "Tell Me What You Want Me to Do", peaking at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. "ALWAYS IN MY HEART" is a track on his 1993 "I'm Ready" album. Check out the "Goodbye" recording remix (Hakeem's remix) on The Soul Box youtube channel. You'll love it. Tevin's videos are so passionate and loving, his other videos colorful and childlike, INNOCENT, what is MISSING in the music today. Gay Black American men have a legacy in the music. The men who paved the way for Tevin before him was a Disco pioneer named Sylvester who back in 1978 recorded "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)", a former Soul Train dancer and late singer JERMAINE STEWART (he was close friends with the beautiful Jody Watley who was in the Shalamar group back in the 1980s, the decade before I was born). Another gay Black American man who is underrated is Daniel Steward (Danny Boy), that Chicago native who helped establish DEATH ROW RECORDS and Interscope and then we have Luther Vandross (he was from New York). Say what you want to about GAY Black American men but the ones I mentioned were all handsome, stylish and TALENTED. Sylvester passed away and Jermaine Stewart was murdered for trying to expose the evil syndicates in the entertainment business but Danny Boy is still alive at 45. Luther Vandross is dead and gone but I still play his records. Anyways as for Tevin I am not sure is releasing new music but he is healthier and doing better now at 46. Tevin is undeniably an R&B icon, a Black American CULTURAL icon and an AMERICAN icon. This is NOT up for debate!
