So, so cute....Stephanie, has always been a little Angel with a GIANT talent, still love her beautiful voice after all these years!

[@unclepecos509]

Stephanie is a A FIRECRACKER!!!

[@pariswatkins626]

Stephanie is a GODDESS!!!

[@gre6821]

That voice is from another planet. The power!

[@Unclewaynewayne]

You should have seen and heard her when she was in The Wiz. I love her talent.

[@RodneyPlayer-q8c]

​@@UnclewaynewayneI hate I missed that but I was a kid a million miles away from Broadway. However as an adult in the mid 80's I have seen her in concert twice. Her voice is golden. She's so underrated I don't know if she has a star on the Hollywood walk of Fame.

[@christiaandetmers277]

There is no better medicine than listening to this music. The eighties were great. Where's the music gone?

[@ericbear2514]

They ended up being web based today, small chance you would hear them on the radio these days!

[@hermanhawkinsjr.122]

Christiaan Detmers It went to pot.

[@OneAdam12Adam]

The most corrupt industry just got even more corrupt. The artists never see the money anymore.

[@randyhorne1067]

On my massive vinyl record rack

[@highfrequency7668]

Omg I am still a huge fan after all this time. I was a kid when this song came out. And Wow seeing such a powerhouse in such a small frame They don't have voices like this anymore . Standing Ovation Mrs Mills .

[@2010secretboy]

And she's not a fan of Anita Baker

[@stephaniemeals4983]

​@@2010secretboySo.

[@kimakotrotman6860]

​@@2010secretboyDon't start that. She said on the Breakfast Club that she wouldn't be taking notes from her.

[@clairetinsley3845]

OMG, haven't heard this song since it first came out in 1984. Found it by accident!

[@sharonbranch4897]

She got very powerful voice

[@ThaBrooklynHurricane]

My favorite BROOKLYN QUEEN👑💙🎶🦋

[@robertcummings8088]

Stephanie was my MEDICINE SONG in the 80's, She still has a healing voice to me! WOWWWWWWW!!

[@pariswatkins4841]

SM rulz! I love this SONG!!!

[@zivaray]

Makes me think about BET, Donnie Simpson and Video Soul!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@djmichaeltimex4511]

she's a chocolate doll....and one of my favorite songs.

[@Rashy225]

This video and song is so bizarre and campy, I love it. 80s era was the best!

[@darrylperry377]

I had forgot just how "badd" she was and her vocal range, ( you better go sistah

[@valeriecheersbrown4829]

She put the message across really good and loved it!

[@DennisAlexis]

I love "The Medicine Song" by Stephanie Mills from 1984. I'm crazy about this type of eighties electronic dance-pop-R&B. #StephanieMills #80smusic #RNB

[@solinspired4428]

Me too it's everything!

[@dcuss7294]

I remember when I first saw this back in the mid-eighties, I was like, damn! That little girl from The Wiz grew up. She can really belt out a song! There are no female singers in R&B, Hip Hop, pop, whatever you want to call it, singing like that these days. Maybe in gospel.

[@Asia-sk8lc]

This is gold baby!

[@franklofarojr.2969]

Those eyes! It's like you can see into her soul and she can see into yours. So enchanting and beautiful! I love her!

[@dlavar5713]

Lol I use to sing this song to my sister. She hates the taste of medicine. I always made her cry.

[@iSpyCars]

LOL damn

[@clobowbepokebags..personal1457]

😂😂

[@moonraker30]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I am cracking up!!!

[@Official90z]

Lol

[@JG4Germany]

Haha I randomly started singing this to my best friend last week on a vacation in France. He almost started crying as now we all sing this to him. Great song!

[@TechNoir87]

LOVE this song and video, just listen to the electronic bassline and that beat, automatically makes you wanna dance, long live the 80s!

[@jonathanwatson1694]

I was about eight years old when this came out on hot tracks and this was my jam! Now go check out Rebbie Jackson”s Centipede if you want some more medicine from the 80s.

[@PelicanGuy]

I had sucha HUGE crush on Stephanie as a kid.

[@rasun316]

...i can definitely see some similarities! LOL

[@darrylgaines2540]

THAT …VOICE 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@SmoothCinnamonX]

This has got to be the silliest thing Stephanie Mills ever recorded, but still with her incredible voice and her gorgeousness, she still makes you really want to like this song! LOL

[@mitzithompson6585]

Agreed

[@damielmartz.4675]

Spirit Angelfish this is not the silliest Stephanie Mills has ever recorded at all, and this song is pretty good.

[@dc7827]

If you think this is “silly”, you’re deranged!! This is absolute classic 80’s class! 😘

[@ajs41]

This is really good fun. The mid-80s were such a fun time! I was 5 years old at the time, and I can just about remember hearing this type of music on the radio here in the UK.

[@2010secretboy]

She makes me want to take some Medicine !!

[@sharksport01]

haha I think its good for 1984, her voice is amazing, and I loooove her face.

[@TheKoolkanadian]

This song was written/produced by David "Hawk" Wolinski, from Rufus, who wrote "Ain't Nobody" among several other Rufus songs. His vibe's all over it.

[@mistersunshine3916]

I love this powerful woman & voice ! She could heal the whole world with her medecine ! ❤

[@migry]

This song was on the first ever CD I bought (I've got the cure). Her voice through the new CD player was amazing !!!

[@LordbrianalejandroMusic1]

This song was soooo hot. Larry Levan used to mix this so well. Definitely one of my favourite club songs.

[@lastdays3148]

I was a Teenager Lady in 1984 now how did I missed seeing this Video in 1984. I love the Retro Neon Videos of the 1980s. Madam Stephanie Mills was and still is Elegantly Beautiful🙋🏾‍♀️

[@andreculley8403]

Yes her vocals are sick in All of her songs this song hit #1 on the Black charts I always play it more than once love the ridges in her voice 💜

[@andreculley8403]

After Stephanie Whitney Patti all the singers who can blow we know they are there will be no more like them cuz this generation of singers Cannot sing mmm!!!!

I caught this video one time on Night Tracks on TBS way back in the 80s! Great to see it again! Power voice!

[@JamMack-ke3jw]

Dr. Mills really rocked and look so good in this video. I got so sick that I needed to take some medicine, cause this song will cure me.

[@RobertOwcarz-j9k]

One of her best jams sm rules

[@jayrowe-ji9qf]

My youth, she is amazing the most versatile, listen to her singing ‘Home’❤️❤️

[@RBS_]

....OK!! ALRIGHT!! ...Yes, the Video was 'cheesier' than a Mississippi Thanksgiving Dinner (1:00), but Steph's singing on this track, is straight-on F-I-R-E!! ...She's singing SO strong, that she can't even pull back, after she hits the NOTE!! (2:22) ...Stephanie was becoming THE 'electro-funk Dance Queen', when she hit #1 Dance (..and,Top 10 R&B), Sept. of 1984, with this jam.....THEN, Chaka released "I Feel For You", the next Month..... GAME OVER!! ...ha-HAAA!! ...One of Steph's sultriest Vocals, and got her back on track, with the public, until, she "Respected the Power Of Love"...... ; ) (3:44)

[@knockshinnoch1950]

A UK top 30 pop hit

I love her "knowing" wink and smile to the camera at the end - so cute.

[@RobertOwcarz-j9k]

Stephanie mills rules

[@blackamerican40]

This video is sooooo damn cheesy and yet Stephanie pulled it off! Love it!!

[@leonardssenkindu5802]

Anthony Ogans lol 😂😈

[@bhudlove1344]

But you know videos at that era has reached its infancy stages. Prior to that in the 70s to early 80s most artist had to perform on stage to do their tracks. Now the 80s set the tone for videos. Especially Micheal jackson thriller album.

[@theconfidant3656]

Anthony Ogans have you seen any videos made 10 years after this?

[@IamRocque]

@@bhudlove1344 Yeah I noticed even from music videos in the 60’s it really wasn’t common but artists still did it. The 80’s really redefined music videos and music as we know it today.

[@waynegreer72]

I loved this song back in the 80's. I couldn't sit still and listen to it , had to get up and move. Still love this song , and still dancing, only moving a bit slower now.

[@littlenige]

Wow her tone is sublime. I nearly wore the 12" version of this out back in the day. Tracks like this must have launched a thousand keyboard players - fantastic production!!! Loving the oh-so-corny 80's video - perfect!

[@jukingeo]

One of my favorite singers back in the 80's. I got hung up on her heavily after Donna Summer. Both ladies had such amazing voices. Donna was certainly beautiful, but Stephanie was both beautiful AND sexy. (Not to say Donna wasn't sexy, just Stephanie 'worked it' more). Wow! She could not only sing, but move as well. VERY hard to take my eyes off her. At only 4'9" tall Stephanie is proof that big things can come in small packages. Donna and Stephanie were two singers from my younger days that I wanted to meet.

[@rvegas81]

I agree. This reminded so much of MJ and Madonna. Stephanie’s really good!

[@trini4me]

Fabulous words for a fabulous song for a fabulous person.. Stephanie you and your voice hit all the records and win x x x

[@brownscorpio]

This video was awesome!!! This video, Putting a Rush on Me, and I feel good all over will always be my favorites.....I know some people try to read, but even on her worst day, Stephanie sleighs many of today's so called hot females!

[@garyeaston2348]

You're absolutely right

[@trini4me]

What a souplesse... great woman and great voice!!

[@SPAZZOID100]

@cbikle "One or two well written songs"???? Are you kidding? "Never knew love like this before" "Put your body in it" "Sweet Sensation" "Pilot Error" "What you gonna do with my lovin" "Two hearts" ...and the list goes on. Seriously, have you been living under a rock for the past 30 years? This is great music, and blows away any current soul or pop, hands down.

[@BlazinSaddles]

I remember going to see Stephanie with my mom perform this song at the Paradise Garage. Thanks for posting!!!

[@RRSYSinfo]

I love this song, keep coming back to it *_Paul,Liverpool UK_*

[@keeblergraham211]

This is great! Stephanie is gorgeous, intelligent, talented, and doesn't take herself too seriously - a total package! (Did anyone catch the Three Stooges reference at 3:56?)

[@2toofine]

Dr Howards and Dr Fine........yes, I heard it!!

[@jdwhite7361]

I had such a crush on her.

[@bobcummings8228]

Stephanie can by my MEDECINE anytime! I just love her voice!

[@AzzedineAliaFan]

she has pretty hair, it looks really good in this video, no hair hats up in here!!

[@pariswatkins626]

I love this song

[@Karamel2233]

I understand. Once I finally realized just how cool this video was, it seems like I just kept watching it and watching it.

[@RobertOwcarz-j9k]

Number one my jam

[@larrycj4382]

I can use some of Momma's medicine now in 2020!

[@TheAnalystradioprogram]

Fresh out the box and hot baby. And you can leave that modern rap right on the shelf.

[@elsiemarina2572]

I had the 12 inch vinyl of this and played it non stop..Loved it. Remember the good old days. Playing it then going clubbing yesss.

[@danasutton-echols2171]

My mom use to sing the hook to me everytime she gave me medicine as a kids

[@breakboytee7460]

I love stephanie mills i have all the 12in singles from the 70s on up though the 90s movie soundtrack singles too i think she's not talked about enough when it comes to female signers when you hear that voice you know that's her doesn't matter if it's a slow jam or dance record

[@Peachexploration]

Wow, I had forgotten about this song! Go Stephanie!

[@TheLanard]

Love the video. The special effects are cheesy, but still more entertaining than today's videos, and cost much less. I like her "Home" plug @ 1:15, the Moonwalk @ 1:39, and the dancers @ 3:40.
