Mint Condition - Breakin’ My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes) LIVE at the Apollo 1992

[@deckenneth]

Stokely is seriously underrated in the pantheon of great voices.

[@arkie622]

Not really 😂

[@xTBrown13x]

Facts!

[@Karl671]

No diggity

[@michaelbull4344]

He really is his singing is great and he puts extra on it live!!!!

[@CarsonDouglas]

Not true. His voice is crazy and the black community knows that.

[@angelicac5543]

He’s not singing, he’s SAAAANGING 😩👏🏽

[@teehud313]

A real band. Stokley's voice is like fine wine. Mint Condition is probably the last real band left. 2024

these voices in the 90s sounded so pure & natural … NO AUTOTUNE !!! I’m only 24 & I only rock with 90s music . 🙌🏾

[@Vee316]

Same here. This music is so missed. It breaks my heart what these children have to listen too now. 😢😢

[@sunnyquan9540]

I was born in 2002 and my mum always had me on 80-90s r&b nothing hits like that kind of music

[@msep5203]

That's how it was back then. The talent had to be real. It was raw, edgy and pure. I miss the days pop culture was alive.

[@JadeMuray]

There’s nothing wrong with auto tune they’re a lot of singers who are amazing singing live

[@michaelbull4344]

This why 90s and before was so great musicians or artist needed real talent when it came to singing rapping or playing instruments so you had to sound official which isn’t a requirement nowadays

[@lcem32]

No gimmicks.. pure vocal talent

And still sounding even better 2023

Yesss I was at this taping in 1992, Naughty by Nature also performed that night and I got to meet my crush Tempest Bledsoe who was the host!! A night I will never forget!!! Good share!!!

[@truewilliams7118]

Out of curiosity, was "forever in your eyes" on the radio heavy at the time of this taping? I got the feeling that the audience had never heard that track before.

[@respectlife216]

Stokely is so underrated as a vocalist

[@RAyR111]

Lowkey crying because of the passion he sings with

[@josephlouis7945]

Sounded just like the radio version. Pure talent.

[@drewzalo]

It doesn’t but still a great live performance

[@dredheadluna420]

You're both right. Technically it doesn't sound like the radio version or the recordered version which is because of the extra adlibs but Stokely sounds like he sounds when it was recorded.

[@TommyPleasure]

Too many adlibs for me. Go listen to Prince or Phillip Bailey, they don’t embellish as much. To me it throws his voice off key in some cases.. He’s a good singer but these adlibs are annoying to me!

[@jonathanjackson2587]

What a voice,live crisp & clear...that's why 90's can't ever be touched for me,some of the best vocalists of all time are in this era👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Man, every era of R&B and all other types of music had great, good, and poor performers. I don't that any era is better than any of them. Sure, we all have our preferences, but I love R&B and I'm a fan of it all. It is just different. That's what makes it all unique.
