KIDS Incorporated (1984) - The Belle Of St. Mark (1080p HD Live-Look)

[@leeharrison8222]

This is Martika?!? Wow, so let me get this straight: around 1985, when Martika was a teenager, she covered "The Belle of Saint Mark", a minor hit written by Prince for his then-girlfriend Sheila E. to record for her album. Then around 1991 Martika records and tops music charts with another Prince song, "Love Thy Will Be Done." (Well, co-written as I read she contributed some lyrics to his for the track.) Small world!

[@KidsIncorporated]

Yup, it's Martika. :) Sheila E posted and commented on our Instagram about this and loved it. :)

@@KidsIncorporated The little blonde girl with the Tamborene ... Fergi ?

[@HmltDo]

It was the way around. Love... Thy Will be done was most written by Martika with Prince's help. The song si a pray Martika Made for herself. Prince Made the awesone arrangements for the song.

[@P.Whitestrake]

​@@Caustictherapy Yeah. That's Fergie.

[@TerrickTerran]

@@Caustictherapy yes

[@MaskedMan66]

Martika so pretty. They all are so adorable ❤❤❤

[@Karazorel.Ms.PG1.1]

I wander who the kid is that Gloria put on his hat ? I wander was that suppose to be part of the show too ? He probably never ever let go of that hat after Martika wore. So sweet of her. Rahsaan, Renee and stacy so adorable... best person ever to sing this song!

[@GeraldLewis-v6f]

I like the performance and Singer Martika because she Really Highlights the music group with their songs and she's got talent at least so much of it anyway

[@Kidsincorporatedfansclub]

[@Melissa8_16]

+KidsIncorporated not surprised at all that this took awhile to remaster! Looks fabulous 🙌🏼❤️

[@joeblow26]

Sheila E and band played instruments in the original and none of these kids did except for some of the "male" group members as I'm almost positive they played the sFlute

[@Karazorel.Ms.PG1.1]

I love this song so much..❤❤❤

[@craiglavoie7193]

[@andik8570]

Man how Proud SheilaE must be to see this with an smile on her face....? 80s best Music best times to be a Kid/Teen...? Prince,M.J,RickJ,BarryW.E.W.F.SOS.B.Imagination,Ultravox/MidgeUre.Yazzo.D.Mode ruled the 80s...

[@KidsIncorporated]

Yup! We posted this a few years back and Sheila E. loved it!

[@Karazorel.Ms.PG1.1]

mickey so cute..i had a crush on him. I cried when he left but deeply love the ones with ryan too.Martika do not make bad songs.She so pretty.

[@sasquatreyz3841]

Martika Nailed it!

[@craiglavoie7193]

She's beautiful

[@sandrafurna9733]

ur beutiful martikA

[@marksusskind1260]

Happy Mayteenth, Gloria.

[@Karazorel.Ms.PG1.1]

I only had crushes on mickey,ryan( older) and Jules, Aaron. All were older then me.

[@rmcnulty2]

Mickey....the first guy I saw on TV that I found myself thinkin "wow he's gayer than I am" :) I think Ryan was a better fit to the show...but then I had a crush on him and the dancers joseph conrad & brian poth ;) then after season six it was like Disney Channel gave Kids Inc a swirlie. I liked Eric but he couldn't sing...then there was Jared (smh)....then the music scene started shifting to grunge & hip hop which was NOT Kids Incorporated...I mean Kids Inc... singing Jump Around? NOOOOO

[@andik8570]

ha ha ha ha & Playback I belive…? Awesome the good old 80s....? Thank you...

[@KidsIncorporated]

It is playback, but they really did record the songs with their vocals in the studio. All shows like this use playback.

[@brianre6595]

My personal opinion, is that i think Martika sings it better than Sheila E. does, and with more energy to. I also think KI's music is better heheh. I think a few songs or more Kids Inc. did better than the original singer did, and with more energy.

[@KidsIncorporated]

Indeed! It's just a different interpretation which sometimes works -- this is one of those times! :) Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TonySchulte]

Renee has the Michael Jackson Beat It jacket on. I remember wanting that jacket so badly back then

[@Jameswilliamson405]

[@KidsIncorporated]

Blonde: Fergie and the brunette is Renee Sands from Wild Orchid and the singing voice of Princess Fiona in Shrek

[@zeddeka]

Did Martika subsequently have quite a bit of plastic surgery? Her face looks quite different here than it was just a few years later

[@jackroberts8935]

She could sing the telephone book back then

[@sandrafurna9733]

trust that

[@LowescC]

......sigh

[@KidsIncorporated]

Is that a good sigh or a bad sigh? :)

[@LowescC]

with Martika- always good..
