[@dazronch5450]

Nobody sounded like terrance fantastic voice great song .

[@davidkeele9483]

Every now and then throughout the years I keep coming back here to listen to this, he should have been on the same level of fame & recognition as Prince & Bowie

[@HectorRodriguez-xs5be]

Bowie? :)

[@sctrh2]

Yes, could have been one of the greats except that he let his ego take over and no one in the industry wanted to work with him.

[@javierreyes3136]

This guy is pure talent. That voice is perfection

[@moirabuchanan7534]

Stunning man,perfect vocals,cool cool guy

[@naimaboukhouf7357]

True one of the best voice

[@marieodile6046]

Pas seulement la voix .mais Immense Talent!!!

[@exjwtherapy1814]

2023 never forget amazing vocals and tunes ❤️ uplifting..never gets old

[@raheelaraza6329]

😊😊😊😊

[@paullaurenson5109]

The most underrated voice of any generation

[@ducksakeenglandwakeup5872]

True that. Shame he did not get the fame from america that he got from from the UK. One love all

[@sb49534]

Yes indeed his voice is amazing

[@maryedwards8307]

I agree 🇨🇦❤️

[@katerinaeleftheriadu5604]

Fact that man is not 💃💃💃❤❤

[@TheDizzydee7]

Yeah !! This guy is up there 👆 with Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson Genius xx

[@spacebound7247]

For a lot of modern artists this man was very underrated what a voice ❤❤

[@gillymac9363]

It's just too much talent in 1 body - what an absolute legend 😅❤

[@Catty19748]

What a voice. There are superstars right now who's voices don't even come up to this guys one bit!

[@bernberns4980]

1987 on Top of The Pops he made his first appearance 🤩 My eyes were glued to the TV I didn't blink 💕❤️💕😍🔥🔥🔥

[@gillymac9363]

That's adorable 😍 Bless you

[@mireillekang3780]

He's the full package, excellent singer songwriter, and performer. Plus, he's beautiful.

[@itsreallyme2683]

His hair was killer

[@Valles075]

Couldn't agree more....

[@margaritasauramartinez3007]

Its really me

[@vilmajones1224]

Second to none awesome artist

[@teresa8650]

Checkmate!

[@dailyhunter3683]

All those people saying he was underrated. He was never underrated. He was extremely successful on his own, even though he was often compared to Prince, and he kind of look like MJ.

[@markrobson498]

He was awesome

[@LoredanaLanzo-iq8ux]

Io non ci trovo nessun nesso tra lui, Prince e Michel Jackson. Totalmente differente

[@benjaminjohnson1471]

Not 1 single artist nowadays is a patch on this guy pure talent

[@hoops8534]

Benjamin Johnson I know, he has it all, so captivating and talented!

[@stephentaylor2066]

Should have been the biggest star in the world during his heyday, his voice sends chills down your spine. He is so cool in this video, wow.

[@delee106]

Seriously underrated.

[@paulocezar9680]

Show

[@thehydronator3021]

how is he underrated he had hits, underrated is way overused

[@manfred747]

Here we go again. 'Mozart is seriously underrated'

[@holgerschink1341]

"Introducing the hardline according to" is still one of the best albums ever.

[@bassbites2204]

Holger Schink The whole album is so so, much better artists are out there, listen to Fernando Saunders - Cashmere Dreams, you'll realize what I'm talking.

[@angelicas603]

It is for sure

[@nakkadu]

@@bassbites2204 Nonsense.

[@chetabumposess09]

For everyone who doesn't know he's alive & well, still making music under tha name Sananda Maitreya

[@crushgenetics7354]

Kalel Pruitt sananda maitreya

[@carl1095]

Correct, and this is Sananda's channel we're on now.

[@samsakaria3829]

THANK YOU 😊 FOR THAT UPDATE DARLING, I ALWAYS WONDERED WHATEVER BECAME OF HIM?, WHY DID HE SIMPLY DISAPPEAR? & WAS HE STILL WITH US? THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@bosvigos9165]

Thank you! I have wondered for so long. Thank God he is still doing what he does in such a fabulous way. I adored his music in the 80’s. I will now get to the ‘new stuff’ 💗💗

[@1298347612]

Sananda Maitreya - Holding on to you thanks.

[@jason.h.zager88]

find this after 27 years...my god so many good memories..i'm crying now while i'm listening to this legendary song

[@bobfish7699]

This is the singular example of a record company f*ucking the career of an artist over legal disputes. TTD should have been a global superstar for many years. The hardline according to was one of THE best debut albums of all time. So many good songs, brilliantly performed..

[@helenhaider9386]

What a joy it is to listen to this voice ❤

[@marcoboretti92]

😢 What a voice!!!!!.....😱❤️ How many memories of this album,....I'm proud to have gotten it as soon as it came out.....thank you Sanada Maitreya🙏👑❤️

[@sarcasticbyfar]

80s classic takes the piss out of the crap out these days

[@mobrown7594]

[@DorCarlosFury]

You are complettly right !

[@wazzock999]

wrong, late 80s

[@andyleffler2965]

1987

[@beverlykorte8581]

Yes 👍 agree

[@ianmahoney2607]

Seen him at Bristol hippodrome as a support act to Simply Red, for me he stole the show. Class act, so many memories!!

[@NicoleFlynn-vp1do]

2023 love him I was born in 87 xxx

[@ramsesronaldomoreiramahdi4992]

he was beautiful and sang very well " Miachel Jackson y Sanando Maitreya los mejores"

[@jeromelange7401]

The most brillant, unique and SOULFUL vocalist of the 80s. Full of charisma and creative dancing moves, TTDA/Sananda Maitraya is ONE OF A KIND and criminally UNDERRATED.

[@carolannmccrorie5571]

Completely agree

[@rachelmaree4069]

Well said.

[@angelikaclark3042]

totally agree. I have loved him then, and I love him still. he is the one....xxx

[@scamwitness6594]

Criminally so. You said it. Good God!!!! :-)

[@keenan4202]

Jerome Lange Agreed 100%.

[@brandi_8145]

What a classic. Who’s still here with me in July 2020?🙋🏽‍♀️

[@senozetski]

I can't stop listening to him ...September 2020, SLovenia

[@asimpson929]

Absolutely brilliant voice what ever happened to this guy

[@137mrtennant]

This track symbolises the amazing artists we had the oppurtunity to listen to in our time. This track is still great, even today.......you never left.

[@jayzacharias4136]

i loved being a teenager in the 1980's

[@scamwitness6594]

Me to, feel so lucky for it.

[@walterF205]

Done. ;-)

[@sebastiantufigno6955]

It was even better in the 60's xxxxx

[@wythenshawekid1597]

Great wasnt it lol

[@johnbyrne7247]

jay zacharias yep I was 15 to 25 in the 80s

[@paulratcliffe4403]

His songs never sound old,but they do pre-voke old memories, beautiful songs.

[@yeraybhaunaniacosta7469]

His voice is pure POWER!!!

[@ylekiote99999]

Not sure why this guy wasn't as big as MJ or Prince. So dynamic and incredible voice.

[@amiravenerosy8745]

u forget Lenny Kravitz,really amazing guy too...

[@amiravenerosy8745]

u forget Lenny Kravitz,really amazing guy too...

[@einc70]

ylekiote99999 He was a UK based singer. MJ and Prince were two different beasts. He was more popular in Europe than America. There were other great artist too. Phil Collins, Genesis, Madonna, George Michael, Elton John, The Cure, Pet shop Boys amongst others. You had also one time hit artists. But TTD was a another beast in himself. He came out of the lot for sure. Always been my favorite since "sign your name". 1987

[@irma567]

Madonna sorry averege voice lots off hype and sex nothing more

[@hjdd4909]

ylekiote99999 it was because the 2nd album didn't hit it. Too many hangers on in his ear and too much freedom from the record company combined to produce something fairly inaccessible but for the Hardline alone TTD should be hailed as a genius

[@rachelmaree4069]

Never tire of listening to his incredible voice and music. 💜

[@scamwitness6594]

Rachel Maree same here.

[@mallka8390]

So relieved to have been born in the 70s and a teen in the 80s. We were so lucky to have music like this. I despair at the dross released today and I really do try to have an open mind on it. It's just so bland and without tune or originality. Terence Trent D'arby was just one of a long line of talented 80s artists.

[@rosieposie9564]

To be honest, even people born in the 80s, 90s and later can tell that today's music is generally crap.

[@jayzacharias2943]

Reminds me of my teenage years, I always smile whenever I hear this tune ☺️☺️

[@wainwynter5541]

Good time to be a young teen x

[@buzzdavis]

Gotta give it to Terence though, he rocked the mic hard on this stormer. The 80's strike again. Sing it.

[@blue21girl59]

I went on holiday to Crete and I took his tape with me and played it all the time and yes tape no cd then xx

[@leslo1624]

The whole package Looks Voice Great backing group 🔥

[@joe9182]

This voice and performance is everything ❤

[@user-tr9km9qf3c]

great artist. great dancer. so sensitive and colourful

[@berniekennedy9793]

Happy Birthday Sananda🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

[@roxirox6127]

queste canzoni, mi ricordano la mia giovinezza!! 😍

[@ryanmotley1654]

Still amazing. Never get tired of listening to Terence. Always gives me that feel good factor

[@scamwitness6594]

Ryan motley Yeah man, same here.

[@martinmcneill605]

Truly, the Songbird of his generation ❤️

[@lennonjohn3796]

Hugs 🫂 to all 80s kids

[@LW1Tok]

Giving off MJ vibes for sure. Love it ❤.

[@totopizza3917]

Press like how still listen 2019

[@BarneysKiller00]

Music being what it is today and being from the 90's I'm glad I like 80's-90's more than todays music. THIS is music

[@noracollins2040]

Beautiful 🎶. Terrance was magnificent

[@Ava-oi7ww]

Omg. I've just fainted from all the talent

[@warrenlightning8137]

It would have rocked the world if Sananda and Prince worked together.

[@jorjamills]

i am absolutely in love with this song! his moves tho

[@afrimredzepovic1]

❤️❤️❤️🤗

[@alanawilson6104]

I searched for years for this peace of heaven and only to find out that this Angel of a man sings this

[@andrewpeover]

terrance trent derby fantastic singer andy peover if u let me stay 1987 andy peover miss the 80s 😂❤😅 xx

[@camel8334]

Go ahead, Mr Joestar

[@michellelafferty5658]

I used to listin to him in the 80s hes brilliant 💙😀✋

[@catherinebonnici5572]

Excellent Performance, song writer, just love his music.

[@EIGHTIEESALWAYS]

Memories from the year 1987 and what a voice...! :-)

[@ianwhitehead4337]

Really enjoyed hearing this again after all these years. Whatever happened to that guy. Great voice.

[@TheAkelei]

what a talent, indeed. Welll, he kind of dropped from the radar. But he's still doing music, so one hears. And the voice is still with him.

[@BozJust]

He moved to Germany. I think I read something about him falling out with his label. Thats why he didnt issue anything for 6 years.

[@P.willow]

ian whitehead ..he lives in ireland man. Wicklow Co.Dublin last I heard. same like Joe Elliott from Def leopard..

[@clairedavis4581]

2019....don't care what his name is now. Timeless. Pure Genius 💓

[@emmanuelle4632]

This guy was so talented! What a powerful voice! How charismatic! Why did he not become even more famous?

[@robertdaly5568]

If Gordy Berry/ Motown was still active in the 80 ' s this man would be the superstar he deserved to be.

[@jfc4798]

His name is Berry Gordy and he ran Motown until last year. Motown was very much still active in this time period. And also he was a rip off snake so he would have probably taken all of TTD's royalty's and fucked him over big time.

[@ianrigby1547]

Great voice. underrated.

[@rosiknecht2380]

So true

[@peroquetoiseau933]

Singers in the 80s have better dance moves than singers today, they actually show you who they are

[@mayaloveskobe]

He is now Sananda Maitreya...he came to Japan last March to play his new songs from the latest new album "Return to Zooathalon". His performance was awesome as ever, though he never played his old tunes made by TTD. I love this song "If you let me stay" of course, but I truly recommend you to check his official site !

[@Flamingos_56]

I have a vinyl of this song and thanks to my dad for introducing me to this to song! His voice is so angelic and amazing

[@hussainqureshi5016]

Been looking for this song for months, heard it on the radio couple of times but never remember what it was called just remembered the chorus. Finally found it 🤤

[@isabellejarzaguet3220]

Une voix magnifique, une élégance . Compositeur, musicien et danseur. Pour moi un des meilleurs

[@deborahfernanades739]

I put this song on repeat...hearing it one time is not enough😊❤

[@yongslifestlye2510]

he is not underrated, he is out of commercial business in music, doing his own

[@jorgereis1089]

Cara ,que explosão de pura adrenalina, aposto que Prince e Michael, ficariam olhando um pro outro e falariam, " o cara manda bem"

[@studio20mediaproductions]

One word for this Super!!!

[@perryjacobs2421]

Yeah I’m here! The bloke smashes the vocals absolutely brilliant IF YOU LET ME STAAYYY!!

[@chrismoneyyy2553]

He's like in his 20s in this video such a Gifted Voice

[@rosiknecht2380]

Still loving it in 2021 absolutely awesome. Who else still listening 😍

[@widbear3703]

An all-time classic for the classic year of 1987

[@ixiabenard5188]

Magnifique grandiose impressionnant,une voix qui m'a séduite dans les années 80 et toujours aujourd'hui en l'an 2024..... magnifique Terence Trent d'Arby...dit sananda ✨👍🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@danielwoodmansolicitors6361]

Had the pleasure of seeing him live at the Colston Hall in Bristol. One of the best gigs I ever attended. Brilliant. I don't think he tries to be MJ at all.

[@bigc7326]

nothing like mj, he had his own style.

[@reemee3701]

Could listen to him all day ❤

[@rebeccaheqth5726]

Beautiful voice, timeless, love his hair.

[@mist_oldskoolakatherollinr616]

This was back in the day when I was a rebellious teen who had this on cassette playing on my Bike rides to Newmarket to get out of the village and could get there before I had to flip the tape... Magic memories as I have been paralysed from the neck down for 16yrs and they're fond memories of my youth

[@wearywanderer2722]

Simply a rare great "soul" song from the late 80's.

[@davowacko3689]

this guy is a fucking legend love him hes classic

[@azharhakimin1946]

This guy could have been huge..he's so talented

[@hillwilliam2028]

Sananda Maitreya absolutely nailed it on this track, no doubt about it! That banger right here got me hyped like crazy, bangaa! I ain't even trippin' if Sananda Maitreya used *authentic* *views* to get that mad exposure and get the ball rollin'. Truth is, plenty of other artists be doin' the same thing, Keep slayin' those beats!

[@ianjamesgrantham6602]

This guy was amazing!real soulful voice!i remember playing his album non stop back in 87 after school,what happened to him,he made another album that wasnt so good after that never heard from him again??

[@littlemiss80s88]

Still sounds great!

[@dandawson4471]

No mumbling just pure joy.

[@mallka8390]

I worked at a major record label in the late 90s. A senior colleague and part time DJ said she thought Terence Trent D'arby was the greatest artist to come out of the 80s. I remember thinking she was slightly crazy considering the calibre of 80s artists. Only now I can see what she saw back then. This guy was the whole package.

[@MultiNemo09]

fabulous megastar since 80s until 2020s !!

[@fatmabereket4273]

What a beautiful voice / I love it

[@reefkayoss]

My man...TTD or Sananda Maitreya as he is now known....one of the most underrated and under appreciated talents of all time...a phenomenal singer, songwriter and multi instrumentalist...i met him in Italy a good few yrs ago now n he was also a top guy...his missuz was lovely too...smokin hot n very sweet...i hav nothin but love n respect for this guy n his family...much love to u Sananda, u continue to soundtrack my life and inspire me to be a better person til this day...love u brother x

The way he dances and sings always got me going, the way he could do the splits and get straight back up again, he was like a wonderful human spring just springing around, amazing. 👏👍👍💞👄

[@giannakasman4772]

Prince, Michael, James Brown rolled into one stunning man. His voice is beyond brilliant. I loved him back in the day. I don’t know how he didn’t stay at the top of the top. Absolutely amazing.

[@benjaminigbi6570]

Wow! You are a talent yourself to draw this comparison!👍👍👍

I know I've been careless, girl And I must apologize I'll try better next time, baby If you let me stay If you let me stay I'll say what I should've said If you let me stay I should have said that I love you It you let me stay And I should have said it from my heart If you let me stay How can I compensate For my indiscretions, dear Tell me it's not too late That I'd love to hear If you walk out on me You will see a grown man cry I didn't miss my water Till my well ran dry But if you let me stay If you let me stay I'll say what I should've said If you let me stay I should have said that I love you It you let me stay And I should have said it from my heart If you let me stay Your pretensions aim for gullible fools And now who needs you anyway?
