Expose - Let Me Be The One (12" Version)

[@atouchofhealth4u]

Wow what a sexy song and what incredible memories! Thank you Expose!!!!!

[@onedeviousunk]

3 beautiful iconic women, from a better place in time!!!!!!

[@latinmachismo]

I love how many great talent came out of Miami... Expose being one of them. The 80's will always have a special place in my heart. I can't wait to be reunited with all my old pals from South Florida in the near future. I was and will always continue to be a huge Miami Vice fan!

[@rxstrinhighheels]

Whoever is listening to this in 2024, you're a legend.😊❤

[@chuckgriffith9848]

Nothing better than Freestyle music.......kids now days don't have a clue. Peace out ,and keep dancing!!!!!

[@Riddimsofcreation]

It definitely was gold

[@Izzymon81]

This is 80s pop at its best. Amazing beats that just build up to get you pumped. Expose kicked ASS!!!!

[@JSharpe427]

I love the kick ass guitar solo!

[@Izzymon81]

Pounding beat! Love Expose

[@AldenRDavis]

It’s 2021.. Still listening to this classic with the awesome old school music power of MTV. Whenever I listened to this, I feel like I’m dancing in a nightclub.

[@mchlvillegas]

I saw expose 2 weeks ago in san jose,ca at a small club,but they packed the place,standing room only,what a grrat show 3 hour straight awesome

[@pyrotalk]

Add me to the fan list. I grew up listening to this during my teenage years.. I only have wished the mainstream media payed more tribute but rather they glorified rap songs...This is way better than rap.

[@teknoted2576]

Expose had one of the best sound to listen & dance to! Where's the time machine to go back to when this song first came out?

[@unixriver]

This track is sooo beast.Hurts me everytime.So Sick.Dont even know where to start!

[@diomiami]

This is the best remix of this song I have ever heard!! Great stuff!!

[@pureimagination75]

I also heard the original version of this song on BackTrax USA last weekend. I rolled down the windows in the car, cranked up the volume and let the people KNOW what I was listening to!

[@vincentgibson991]

one of my favorite songs...love it

[@LayDiva-in-the-Zone]

I love Latin R&B/Pop...they were one of the best to do it!

[@mariposapapillon9261]

Yes, yes, yes!!! I was thinking of "Let Me Be the One" last weekend. I was vaccuuming the carpet and got a rhythm going on in my mind. Then I just started belting out the way Gioia does over the bridge. My favorite Expose song for sure! Gracias!!!

[@viedcht]

wow... this is a memory jerker...

[@leonelbarra-alvarez8424]

I could spend the rest of my life listening to freestyle and seeing my kids grow and letting them listen to there type of music. This song is good I will never get tired of cover girls, expose and ......... remainder one of my favorite songs is my heart skips a beat cover girls but Expose was my favorite about a tie

[@Izzymon81]

By far one of the sickest female freestyle groups singing one of the bestest freestyle songs. Nice up.

[@Tomee2011]

1987 - Miami Freestyle Classic driving and blasting this out loud down Collins Avenue at 2a am..such bliss full times :)

[@pouncy90]

love this 1987 hit

[@thespeez]

One of my favorite 12" extended remixes of all time. I remember when this first came out in 1987, there was a radio station in Baltimore (Hot 95.9, WGHT or WHTE were the calls) which had what you might call a "Top-40/dance" format (probably similar to New York's WKTU) that would play a slight variation of this.

[@afroblack1000]

The intro beat is awesome

[@theconsultantATL]

I miss the good singing and the good groups from back in the day....music used to be so good...I'm glad KZbin keeps the good stuff alive. If only I could high five KZbin...LOL

[@Riddimsofcreation]

music atill is you just havent found the right artist :)

[@D2Kprime]

+allsports100 I see this flawed statement a lot. The point is that in the 80s-mid 90s you didn't have to *_LOOK_* for the "right artist." The circuit was saturated with talented artists and quality music. Today, most of what you hear is corporate sponsored indoctrination. Only a few artists actually perform to create "art" and those people you don't see at the Music Award shows. The vast majority of music that has true substance gets blackballed from mainstream media. Back to the point, in the 80s and 90s no matter what musical category it was, Rock, Pop, R&B, Rap, Country, what have you it was far better quality than today.

[@Riddimsofcreation]

***** ok?

[@Riddimsofcreation]

+D2K Prime dude honestly if you don't like music nowadays don't listen to it stick to this

[@D2Kprime]

+allsports100 It's pretty obvious that I don't so I ponder why you waste yours and my time with this post. it's not like I troll around KZbin videos of modern music talking about how much I hate it. Obviously there's some insecurity on your part about the fact that there might be validity to what I'm saying. Now please go away. You enjoy the music you like, and I will continue to do likewise.

[@realmclennyd]

I still miss them when VH1 stopped showing their video so sad when they replace their wonderful music with those crazy reality shows even sadder .

[@MrAntiSellOut]

Now this is what I still call music.

[@cutiefan3432]

80`s Freestyle at it`s best .Sexy song and a great re-mix job.Great vocals,too.Enjoy!

[@diomiami]

I love the ending of this song. God I wish they still used the synthesizers like they used to!!!!

[@mickfizz1]

Great tune!

This cut right here is what made crush so hard on Gioia (the lead on this jam!) back in the day!!

[@sprintbass]

i wish i had all the synthesizers and drum machines they used...when you heard the sounds by themselves that was one thing but this music is heavily layerd which i always loved...lots of differnt things going on challanges my ear...only dance music and classical music can do that...I love expose..they were the most polished of all the freesytle acts..also i love musical seduction..

[@33Kellymc]

Great times and great music!

[@HOCKENSMITHM]

BEAUTIFUL!

[@wildride00]

anyone outhere with a time machine to send me back to the 80's, the best time of my life, i would give everything that I have for a few 80's days.

[@mariposapapillon9261]

KZbin is one of those time machines. Turn up the volume, close your eyes, move your booty, and you're back there. Anybody else wanna go?

I was a boy back in the 80’s, and I didn’t and couldn’t have done coke, either way. But I am no one to judge anyone for having done it. We all make our damn mistakes. Aside from all that tho..... all that shallow, urban spam and baloney garbage that you hear on the FM band has nothing (or will never have) on 70’s, 80’s, and 90s music.

@dayjaboy The ORIGINAL member consisted of Sandra Casanas, Laurie Miller and Alejandre Lorenzo. By 1986, this lineup was replaced by Gioia, Ann and Jeanette. They were featured on the album "Exposure" with the exception of the early releases which feature Ale Lorenzo on lead vocals for "Point Of No Return."

[@breaks0]

Thanks alot for this. Easily their best ballad, though it's as much a jam as it is a ballad. :)

[@mariposapapillon9261]

This track is barely a ballad. It's got a midtempo groove. Of course, it's not as straight-on freestyle as, say, "Point of No Return," which has fast-tempo, multi-layered Latin rhythms. Love Expose!

[@akinolaakinyemi1203]

@@mariposapapillon9261 you are right to correct, it is not a ballad but I am afraid it's no mid tempo either. The song is 112bpm, which makes it slightly elevated but scarcely a mid tempo. Either way a great song. Mix it over and over with many songs of this genre. Point of no return is def one Lots of memories.

Que recuerdos hay, con estos temas de expose los 80 los mejores años de mi Vida

[@pipisqueak]

I like lots of stuff going on in a song too...lots of layers. I don't know if you like Barry White, but one of his songs, "Forever In Love" (actually listed under the Love Unlimited Orchestra) is like that. Lots of different layers to keep your ears busy. I love it for that reason. :)

Cool rhythm and sweet strong lead voice, i'd always tough the lead voice was a black woman.

[@ladaniel58]

Another catchy tune from the 80s, for us heavy metal fans this was like a glass of water, especially for those of us who were in LA, capital of the metal world during the 80s. Anyway, now, more than 20 years later, once can appreciate some of this disco music that coexisted with metal in those days.

[@gedias1]

Remember in the 80s when our parents told us the music was crap compared to theirs? We are saying the same thing now. Every generation thinks that their music is the best.

[@davidpopeful]

Gioia Bruno was born in Bari, Italy. Ann Curless from New York. And Jeanetta Jurado Pico Rivera, CA

[@mariposapapillon9261]

Yup, you confirmed that my recall was correct. I was really into Expose and an arts journalist at the time. I remember that factoid. Now, I don't know if one of her parents was Latino or Latina, but let's put it this way: A deliciously soulful voice is a deliciously soulful voice no matter what the color of one's skin is, and/or what one's ethnicity is. What one person hears as a Black gospel trill, another person hears as Portuguese Fado, etc. For what it's worth, I once had a co-worker whose parents emigrated from the *North* of Italy to the United States in the late 19th century. I'm Black American (yes, yes, and of mixed heritage, but I'm not a milennial, so no one cares) and I'm honey-complexioned. My co-worker was like peanut butter-complexioned with hair just as kinky-curly as mine, and she was straight-up Italian. (We both baked Italian cookies -- I no longer bake any desserts; no patience, and the cost of $$$sugar and butter-- so my natural curiosity led me to ask if hers was a family recipe. Mine, I told her, was the recipe of the Italian mom of my mom's best friend. We became instant good work acquaintances.) As with many kinds of conqueror-explorers, the Moors and other African-derived peoples are distant ancestors of many people in Europe and the Americas as in Africa. So, yeah, Gioia Bruno -- very much an Italian name set -- is Italian, and her "Black sound" (as I used to hear about a lot back in the late '80s) could be so many influences, including genetic ones. Hmmm...come to think of it, when I open my mouth to sing, my vocal tone and textures evoke Rita Coolidge. But when I sing along to, say, a song by Aretha Franklin (whether from the '60s, '70s, '80s or '90s), I "put it on" and wind up sounding like I'm gospel trained. This is why music is such a beautiful force. So universal, so uniting. And this response is waaaayyy too long. Please forgive.

[@moonraker30]

This the single cover, but a different song, I like the version where at the end Gioia, says "You can trust me at any time" and she holds it and then the instruments stop and Ann and Jeanette sing at the top of their lungs "Let me be the oneeee" and then it goes back to the instruments, I can never find it on here
