Yes, written by Teddy Riley and Michael Jackson and Tammy Lucas

[@buffysummers5080]

Didn't know about MJ's part thanks.

[@masteurmitchell1351]

Sounds like something Mike would has song

[@AndyMacMPCclub]

@@masteurmitchell1351 MJ did sing it. It was demoed for Dangerous but didn't make the cut. Teddy then used the track on BS first album.

[@sdhester76]

I am so impressed with your ear for music. Even when you may not know the history of a song, you are able to relate it to the era, artist, and producer. I saw you do that with the Mary J Blige Rose Royce remake. Your ear told you that it sounded like a 70's song without knowing that it was remake. Keep doing your thing Jack!

[@algriff21]

@Ree Hes, that is what brought me here. Jack reminds me of myself, appreciates the music from years prior to him (the 90's is me, but I love the 80's and prior). Of all music reactors, I feel he has a respectable/entertaining response; not saying there is a right or wrong way, but his insight to being able to be captivated by it is uncanny! and know writers and producers of a track! You tempt me to send you my list of songs to react to but I like the surprise of what is picked by others and you select. New subscriber right here!

Teddy Riley too

[@coolwhip891]

No it was produced by Teddy Riley. Michael was the first person to record it. He held it back from Dangerous bc it didn't fit at the time, just like Blood on the Dance floor. They ended up giving it to blackstreet instead. Mike's bgv's are still on the track tho.

[@shanellblue4317]

This song was dedicated to their daughters !! This song is beyond beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰😻😻😻

Blackstreet featuring SWV and Craig Mack "TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT"

[@jilliandouglas6361]

He gotta do the rain remix to that song

[@salwashabazz7329]

I really love this song but I prefer the original version. They can go a little overboard with remixes to songs (whether it’s with the vocals or production). For some songs, I just think they’re really unnecessary. As the saying goes, sometimes less is more; the original version was just better for me! 🤷🏾‍♀️😊 (smoother, sexier, prettier...it felt more like the msg of the song).

[@salwashabazz7329]

@Rhino Black: That version sounds too much like a “bouncy, club” mix smh.

[@marliglen]

I'm so happy you finally reacted to this. It's my favorite Blackstreet. Now I'm still campaigning for "We're Not Making Love No More" by Dru Hill.

[@erickiam25]

Yes i been saying that for months. Also “sleeping in my bed “

[@bibinakajja2110]

This is one of my favourite Blackstreet songs

[@moneyvegas]

Yoooo this shit went hard back in the 90s

[@Frank123B]

Hi Jack, the song reminds you of MJ because he also wrote this song together with Teddy Riley...

[@bublifuk]

The reason why it reminds you of Michael Jackson is because it was written by him. There´s even a version of MJ singing it.

[@aishastaggers9913]

Mix background vocals were left on this version.

[@StevenBe9799]

Marcus J Williams is the singer of that song. My opinion, I love this song since it first came out in June 1994 on the radio. I feel that who played MJ was an insult. He tried to sound like MJ and to have folks think it was the hidden gem that wasn’t supposed to be sang by MJ was sad. Plus you can tell music was added over the original music and then Marcus sang the 1st vs again for the 2nd vs. total disappointment. I love this song though

[@catrina718]

You've listened to Blackstreet with Levi Little and with Chauncey "Black" Hannibal on the lead, but you've still got to hear Blackstreet with Dave Hollister on lead. A good song to check out featuring Dave is "Before I Let Go."

[@msmon27]

Happy New Year, Jack! You need to react to Blackstreet's Before I Let You Go when they had Dave Hollister in the group!

[@shakarussanders9911]

This came out in 94 It's so crazy that those little girls are grown women now! It doesn't seem like 94 was that long ago 🤦‍♂️

[@girlyspirit620]

Yeah what about when Dave Hollister kissed that little girl I was so shocked and my heart melted

[@rondothard1698]

Oh my Gosh that is right. I loved that year. I stayed home in those days and they would play this on the radio I would see the video along with one last cry from Brian mc knight whoop there it is, CECE Penenston Im in the mood. That year was great!

[@shakarussanders9911]

[@POPJack1717]

Of of those same women are grandmas now. Shit got you feeling old af.

[@chrissytina6379]

I agree it'd be beautiful to see live in an intimate setting with the orchestra. It's a brilliant piece it goes beyond genre's and has its own special place. One of my favorite songs it's so beautiful and I'm a daddy's girl so I just picture my father and I riding bikes, playing like we used to when I was little. Michael put his foot in this along with Teddy Riley.

[@StevenBe9799]

The joy joy joy harmony gives you chills…especially listening to it with a Bose surround sound system….maaaaaan

Blackstreet - "No Diggity" (with Dr. Dre)

[@williamjones3534]

I know right? I can't believe he hasn't done no diggity yet!

[@Mtc0nqr3r]

Yes this is a Michael Jackson song that was written for the Dangerous album that Teddy Riley worked with Michael on. Michael didn't use it so Teddy used it BlackStreet's first album. Levi did an outstanding job on lead of this song. Jack you have a great ear. I enjoy your reactions.

[@CharlesMosley129]

i remember when this video premiered in 1994. i saw it on a local video show called "Urban Xpressions" on channel 48 in Philadelphia. it was a weekly 2-hour long hip-hop video show that showed all the latest videos. they played this video every week and i couldn't get enough. i had no idea then that Michael Jackson wrote this. now that i know, i love it even more.

[@Camille4Real]

Dang! I forgot about this version with all the extra instrumentation. The album version is more stripped down. Teddy Riley and Michael Jackson were very close. They wrote this song together.

[@Ev3Mr]

I prefer that version, more intimate.

[@followthru1000]

I listed to nothing but R&b when I was in my teenage years. This song was a classic, great hang out song, and slow dance song. Done alot of dreaming to this song as a kid. Then I fell in love..................25 years and 5 kids later. The rest is history💖⚘. Nothing but Joy

[@CharlesMosley129]

it is very interesting how the visuals of this video changes the perception of it. purely from listening to this song without the imagery, one would think he was singing romantically about a woman. but with the visuals, it changes to a fatherly love from father to daughter therefore heartfelt and sweet.

[@jwalk31]

I'm vibin to you so much because your taste in music and songs in particular is literally the same as mine. This song, I have so much history with it, but I totally forgot about this video and how much they put their daughters in it. I have a (almost) 2 year old daughter, first child for me, and I just cried listening to this song with you. She impresses me so much every day, when she sees daddy doing dance moves, she's right there beside me trying to do the same thing, and I love it. If becomes a dancer like me, i will be so grateful, but she will be excellent at whatever she does. Young man you are an inspration with this channel. I love your vibe, keep it up little homie.

[@krlinkous3553]

Jack, you ever react to Oleta Adams? Her song , "Get Here" , is a masterpiece. I think you would enjoy it. If you have ever missed someone you love it will hit home. Thx and keep up the good work.

That entire CD was great....and her Evolution CD as well...

[@krlinkous3553]

@@CarolynWilliams-gr1pf she really is a beautiful artist with a unique tone and range. Shame she had minimal exposure in the mainstream; a legend in jazz and gospel circles though.

[@CharlesMosley129]

i actually saw this live at Madison Square Garden in 2006 at the New Jack Swing Reunion Tour. it was a showcase show with After 7, Tony! Toni! Toné!, BLACKstreet, and Guy. Teddy Riley played with both groups. i was shocked they played this one. to hear the bassline purr over a concert theater was magical.

[@tlewisisdope]

Lead singer is Levi Little. He and Dave Hollister left after this album. The version of the group you reacted to before is a later iteration with Mark and Eric. There are live performances on KZbin, but none with Levi. I believe Eric takes lead on subsequent live performances

[@Wadz59]

This song produced and arranged by Teddy Riley, written by Michael Jackson and Teddy was planned for Michael's Dangerous album but it was not selected to be on the album. Teddy Riley therefore rewrote and rearranged it for his group's first album Blackstreet released in 1994.

[@AmberDiva79]

[@jakegargiulo5101]

YEESSSS FINALLY! The main chords to this are actually from the chorus of Michael Jackson's PYT Demo. You'll hear if you listen to it. So yeah, Michael Jackson actually wrote song. He didn't end up using it so he helped Teddy out and produced this for Blackstreet.

Hi great reaction take a listen to Take 6 “ Spread Love” and “ Biggest Part of Me” their vocals are insane and without musical instruments. Their voices are the instrument.

Happy New Year, my man. For all those people in 2020 who said you are just a reactor or things to that effect. Let them know that being able to effectively communicate to an audience takes great skill. You're not just a reactor, you're a public speaker. You communicate ideas to an audience and keep them entertained and intrigued. Not many people can do that. From the minute I stumbled across your channel I knew it wasn't just what you do, it's what you're capable of that has me intrigued. What you possess is a natural talent that rivals those who have studied and have prestigious communications degrees.
