A real classic. I was 10 years old when this dropped. Me and my friends use to go crazy over them. Good memories!!

[@1011skarn]

Same, 10 going on 11. 1987/88 - 1992/93 is my golden age of RnB. So many classics!

I got one for you.... I grew up in the Bay Area and I was in Jr. high and my buddy Ozzy performed this song with some buddies of his.

[@jahkrmusic]

As a kid, those backflips were everything to me. You weren't cool unless you could flip. Good memories 😊

[@innovativeVideoContent]

Factz!

[@Whitechapelchap]

I almost broke my neck trying to do one. I had cartwheels on lock, though. 😂

Somebody said they sound like a "Lil New Edition" ... I hear it. 😆

[@superstar-nx4hj]

That’s I was thinking the first time I heard them.

[@Joe-nt3fu]

A lot of groups tried to menic the N.E. sounds and look. Micheal Bivens even tried to recreate it with the group Another Bad Creation.

[@julsc2106]

Nah

[@julsc2106]

It's the beat only

[@msdee7056]

Nah...this was my childhood boys group and I never thought they sounded like NE because the age range and style was very different fir the audience they were attracting. The boys attracted the younger girls and NE attracted the girls older than us

[@innovativeVideoContent]

They was my age then. I look up to New edition but these guys made me wanna do music. ABC made me love the music and Kriss Kross was who I mimicked 😂😂

[@Whitechapelchap]

That's awesome

[@titanjake8640]

Same!!!!!!! Talent. Feel good music!!! Now...whew. Mumbling, drugs, no talent, all music sounding alike....sigh. Miss this

[@maysonstorm4956]

Baby New Edition. These cats were so dope to me when I was a kid.

[@attainingknowledgeoftruth8348]

This is classic! These little guys were super talented. Dancing singing and even wrote some of their songs.

[@ayalibra]

This brought back some amazing memories. At age 12, I just met my father. Moved from Philly to South Miami Beach to live with him, great experience. Dad transitioned at the age of 86..Love you dad ❤️❤️❤️ Aug 2, 1937-June 6th 2024 💫💫💫💫💫

This video and song brings back memories for me. Tajh and Bilal are good friends with me and my family. I had the pleasure of meeting Hakeem once through Bilal in 2008.

[@raymitchell7097]

I remember when I was a toddler loving this song when this song came out I was 4 and begged my parents for this tape because I loved the song that much😅❤. To this day I still love this song and will play it on repeat a few times over😅

[@seanspencer9396]

1988 it was for me and the boys had me and my friends dancing!! I saw their biography on UNSUNG and, despite what they went through, they DID make their mark!!! Dial M for memories and I'll be happy in heart!

[@ervgotti635]

Took me way back miss these days....smh

[@jirensentry7609]

I don't know why this song fell onto my heart, but man if it ain't still precious and awesome. Everytime I hear and see this video, I cannot help but see them as a young and upcoming Troop. It's Troop starting as the youngest group ever seen.

Aww man watching this takes me back too being 11 years old in 1988 watching this music video on Video Music Box

Yo this is so sick. The 4K upscaling is fantastic. This song is crazy special to me and my family, thanks for this 💚

[@Theodore-e4z]

This song is the jam from back in the year 1988 and this song is going hard all the time

[@misterbee66]

I love their choreography.

[@ceceliascott9325]

I was 12 years old when this came out still listen to it

[@CompendiumBeats]

Anybody crossing their fingers that this sweet gentle old ass security guard is still alive in 2021? Or is that just the type of shit only I think about?

[@raymondkennedy8513]

Always felt like taj was the most underrated one in the group. Def stood out on his own!

[@Whitechapelchap]

He had "the look," If you ask me. And I'm not just saying that because people told me we looked alike back then. Lol

[@pCOCKPRO11]

I think he's actually the star. Looks, personality and can hit notes.

[@nexxlevel4590]

Agreed. And if you listen to their 3rd album “the saga continues” he CLEARLY had the best voice and killed every song. Wish he woulda had a solo album

[@libyajones4578]

Yes. I have been looking at all their stuff. As an adult, I realized he was the most talented .

[@ritanemons1283]

I love this video because it reminds of the time when we dressed our sons like little men!

[@Ruth_Styles]

This was beautiful then and still is today! Such talent in these boys! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@paygeturnah958]

If NKOTB can come back with a Remix album, the Boyz need to come with a new album too! The first album was too dope!

[@RDobbs-uv4xc]

You won't buy it. Lol

[@billyb4665]

They never really stopped making music. In Africa, they just changed their name to Suns of Light and after growing up, they did solo albums and produced for other people. In fact, Hakeem made the hit song Mama Africa for Akon.

[@mondeklaas1486]

Wow I can’t believe this showed up on my feed what a treat. Although the video doesn’t look like how I remember but wow 🇿🇦 ❤

[@twright420]

Man this looks so different watching this at 42 years old. Remember first seeing them on Soul Train singing romance and dial my heart.

[@vibes7144]

This one has really held up well. Great chorus. Super clean production.

[@ThaPrestigiousOne]

I was four years old my older sister had this album . I remember we use be in the living room haveing a good time playing record s .I remember we saw them a the .Martin Luther King Jr rally In 1988 .I still remember what color suits they had on.They was cute boys.We still have this album.Who still have there album?

[@maysonstorm4956]

Well, it's a digital copy but I still listen to this album. The Boys were my favorite when I was a kid.

[@BlessedMarie9261]

I bought this cassette tape with my b day money when it was released. Still play the songs today. Crazy & Happy were my favorites!

[@shirleyjackson9480]

Just reminiscing how young I was back then and looking back at there video now as an adult it just brings back very good memories because they don't make videos like this anymore, these little kids were my age group I swear as a child I had the biggest crush on Hakeem growing up and every single time that they played "Dial My Heart on the radio I would go crazy and whenever they showed their video on TV I would turn the volume up. Oh how I wish that I can travel back in time to my youth when life was so much simpler then.

[@TheWeazel80]

Oh man, the 80s and 90's were the best! So many great memories from that time.

[@bigkeith41]

Great quality thanks 🙏🏿

[@3November953am]

I remember when this song remixed with Bobby Brown’s Every Little Step, song starts at 2:26. My jam.

[@nlee4566]

Both produced by Babyface and La Ried.

[@forsaken_dredgen9550]

I was 10 when this came out it took some time to get the dance steps down with my siblings and everytime it came on we would sing and dance to this. Good times even better memories, I haven't danced like that since. To old now as well as disabled I became tense as I got older.

[@DarrellClover]

Still jamming on this my childhood days all my elementary classmates loved ❤them matter fact 1 of them played on couple movies Wildcats with Goldie Hawn , Ernest Goes to Camp

Merci pour l'info car sans le savoir je ressentais une fibre africaine en eux ce qui me connectait à eux surtout Hakeem qui a le même âge que moi. Avant eux j' étais New Eddition Boby . Une pensée profonde à mon regretté ami d'enfance Francis AKA alias SISKO . Nostalgie personnel mon frère ...

[@afroglitz]

I’m sorry, who was the videographer for this documentary? The fact that the quality is this amazing despite being made in 1988 is really something. I’ve seen other videos from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and early two thousands that didn’t translate well to KZbin, but this is crystal clear.
