Can we all agree that this entire band is underrated???? How do you sound exactly like you do on the studio version but live???? 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ How Sway??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@fybraines]

exactly

[@jaycllarke7650]

But this does sound like track

And play the instruments! No one else was doing this

[@soysarita1]

Exactly! Could not have said it better myself 👏🏾

[@King__IV818]

Stokley’s vocals are insane! So slept on, he should be in more of the best of conversations from a male standpoint.

[@breakersrowe9662]

Dino of h-town Stokley of mint condition Lil G of silk Tony Thompson of Hi-Five These four guys are unbelievable pure singers live and are among the most underrated and unappreciated singers of all time. All four are straight 🔥.

I’ll add Kenny Greene from INTRO!

That crowd was disrespectful as hell…Stokley (and Mint Condition) are The Truth! We can only dream of seeing quality live performances like this now. The 90’s were full of pure greatness!

[@adrianbreland7174]

I AGREE THEY DIDNT APPRECIATE THIS PERFORMANCE

[@jasminehouston-burns1691]

I think camera mics just don't pick up on crowd responses well which leads to people who think any performer deserves anything coming and also basically suggesting they're smarter than everyone to say the crowd was lame. I really think it's just the mics. If you think a mostly black audience in the heyday of this song, "didn't appreciate" it, I think you're not really thinking critically.

Totally! They consistently sound as good or better than their studio recorded songs. Marvelous, exceptional vocalists and musicians!

[@renebenton77]

The last R&B/ Funk band signed was Joe Public. 1991 I believe none since. Toni, Mint, Joe no mo! Sad but true.

[@christopherbishop570]

Sometimes I be thinking the crowd was moving kinda wack but I’m pretty sure back then the crowd appreciated real singers. Had more reverence towards to performance so much that they’d wait until after there done for there standing ovation.

[@gapman565]

Their style was so much different then from most groups whose singers didn't play instruments, so it was kind of overwhelming for them

[@raygu1818]

That's the days when the label wanted Mint to appear that they were among the cluster of 90's vocal groups like Shai, Silk, and Jodeci and once were even convinced to do a track show. After that they said never again after hearing someone in the audience complained them damn computers. Lol

[@bridgetteconeal1580]

You would be shock that he has a twin voice in this world! Watch Danny Boy do this same song bye them! He even looks just like him!👑🌍✌

[@bridgetteconeal1580]

Stokley is better than he's ever been! Check out the now it's amazing!

[@bridgetteconeal1580]

Ok this is it. He wrote so much music back in the day, you wouldn't believe it!👑

[@TheRealest127]

I Love Mint Condition. The Last R&B Group that was actually a BAND. 🥁🎸

[@TeshaLawrimore]

Man Stokley sung the roof off the place💕💕

[@LaCheleWallace]

This was my favorite song during the time. Stokley was singing his ass off. I try not to throw the term 'underrated' around too often, but this brotha right here is indeed underrated. He be blowin'. Like for real, for real. And when he hit and held that note on *I* near the end of the song, I was too through. That's my part. Great performance, fellas.

[@donavangreen27]

Extremely underrated

[@bleedinggreennation1976]

Whoaa is another one of my favorites

No question. Stokely is one of the great vocalists of contemporary music. No question.

[@informer3evans797]

I remember watching this live and was wondering why the audience was giving it such a cold reception. They sounded better than the record. They didn't get into it until the very end when he was scat'n. It took them a while, but at least they finally got it. It reminds me of a video I saw of Jimi Hendrix performing "Hey Joe" in front of this audience. They didn't get what they just experienced. I bet both audiences look back and can't believe what they just witnessed.
