2024!!! ✅✅✅

[@gilbertroberts8638]

Skyy is 🔥🔥💙🔥🔥

[@SoKREATIvE]

Denise(lead singer) was one HELLUVA vocalist!! She ate on this song with a passion, and it’s krazy how good she sung it LIVE!! Her sisters Bonné & Delores are the backup vocalist featured on this song. This trio of sisters were something special, much respect to these Queens!

[@afflulifestyle1784]

100%, her voice is so unique, & she sounds just like the recording, no auto tune over here. I've still got my Vinyl album of this from 1989, it's a classic. This song right here is one of them that set the template for the 90's r&b girl groups, you can hear all the harmony styles in it that were used by the groups in their ballads. Real Love, a quiet storm classic.

[@rachaelbuford9563]

Nobody, and I mean nobody.....sung that song like her, she's way underated. She can sing her way into paradise. Lovely , singing ladies. Denise put her ass, whole body and soul into that song. ❤ fan forever!

[@SoKREATIvE]

@@afflulifestyle1784 I couldn’t agree more! Make sure you hold on to that album, I think my Mom had it back in the days too! Even though I was only a youngin back then, I vividly remember this song and MANY others being played on her stereo system with the record player on top! 😂😂😂

[@SoKREATIvE]

@@rachaelbuford9563 I definitely agree! She’s so underrated in my opinion, but since she was with a group….I think it was hard to single her out compared to solo female artist of that time. It’s one of those situations where you had to know exactly who she was!

[@afflulifestyle1784]

@@SoKREATIvE Yes, that album is being held onto like gold dust. Start Of A Romance was another killer tune from that album. Like your mum, anyone who had this album knew real r&b & great music. Ah yes, those old record players 🤣🤣 I wish I could go back to the days of the Apollo's, it was so magical, real special days of r&b.

[@onlytee7499]

Her voice is just like it is on the song I love this classic

[@RobertDGordon]

When the live performance sounded like the record. I miss the day of real singers and musicians. This was a great performance of a classic song, the audience was dead for some reason.

[@ralphwhitaker8761]

[@MsKendra79]

I love this song and the group. They were out there killing it and that crowd was a snore fest. Wtf? I'm shocked with their lack of enthusiasm. This song was the jam.

[@lisabonae]

I think they performed it before the song was released as a single so the audience wasn’t familiar with it yet

[@1InterestedNot]

I was going to say the same thing.

[@ajanthonyy1488]

I think they just wanted to appreciate the vocals. They got hype a few times, not like it’s a party song lol

[@rwwdzzm5608]

They just wanted to HEAR 👂🏿 it

[@Clifford-ju8qz]

FRFR!!!! Damn Newyork?🤣🤣

[@dirtyface-capone7622]

Wow! First time I've seen this live.I remember hearing this around the house when I was a kid.It was basically my uncle's theme song.Crazy part about it, he was in a gang.He'd play this song as he ironed his khaki suit! This song's too tender for all that!😆

[@mellomarcello8124]

He was on the prowl...

Your Unc musta been a Gangster and a Gentleman lol

[@MsLkane]

I miss this kind of R&B. Bands who can/could make a party and a red light basement slow song. Her vocals were always on point.

Hey Samuel, my guy at this time name was Samuel and this was our song, I miss him so much, he passed away 😢 💔

[@MusiqluvCA]

This episode aired before the song was released as a single. This live version is probably the 1st time the audience heard the song. Skyy sang the entire album version; not the short radio version. Thanks for uploading!

[@tonyjones2524]

I'm not too sure about that. Start of a Romance album was released in Nov. 1989. The first time I heard it was Skyy performance on Soul Train that aired on April 15, 1989. They performed both Start of a Romance and Real Love on that episode.

[@abramquinn7726]

This song revives the dead...ALL of the old gems that have passed on.
