This along with "Too Late", are still in heavy rotation on my Ipod. Great songs, that defined my teen years especially, "Too Late". It reminds me so much of the relationship between my mom and dad.

"English Party Mix" was the version to rock

If someone said they didn't like this song, I would stop being their friend right then and there.











No, I'm not joking.

I'm the same way about D Train's "You're The One For Me" too

The full-length version:



The intro and the instrumental...

ahh,1982 Wasn't that an exciting year?! I remember hearing this song and his follow-up single "Too Late" in the late spring of that year.Junior came out of nowhere with these excellent singles.He's great.

scriptgirl said:

got a 12" version of this!!!!! I rocked "Too Late" a little bit more, though....

You can tell he was influenced by Michael Jackson on this cut.

Not just vocally, either.

The way he danced was very reminscent of the "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" video.

Even the suit he was wearing was straight up 1978 era Michael Jackson.

Classic song, VERY cheesy video!

This video was just a promo. Not sure if there was ever a proper video made for the song

WOW! What a flashback! I used to love this song, even though KJLH in Los Angeles played it like 3 times an hour! But what a scary time this was to be young and living in Hollywood, everyone still trying to have fun, while friends were dropping like flies all around us. The early 80's wasn't anyone's joke! Thanks to jams like this, there are at least some good memories to recall.

What are you saying is the difference between a "promo" and a "proper video" in 1982?

I looooove this song! So catchy and cute.

PDogz said:

No this was the actual video for the track

sampled & produced by teddy riley for the heavy d track "is it good to you?"

woogiebear said:

Yep. Love that one, too.

Damn, I love this song. Makes you sing right along when you hear it.

Another song by Junior, that I just found on Youtube, called "Too Late". Never heard this song until today, but I liked it.

this is your first time hearing "Too Late"? Wow It was his follow-up single to "Mama Used To Say".It's got a very strong message.

SoulAlive said:

Yup, the first time. I just read on Youtube that the song was about spousal abuse!

psychodelicide said:

yeah,it was a heavy topic for him to be singing about.

SoulAlive said:

Definitely!

Junior live in 2007

SoulAlive said:

This song had such an affect on me due to the fact that I lived those words, as a kid. While still very hard to listen to, it in a weird brings me comfort now as an adult.

I love this song and Too Late. Nice to see dude still doing his thang.
Brand Nubian did a rap version of too late with a strong message
for 1998's foundation album.

Did any of you like his follow-up albums and singles? I like his 1983 single "Unison".
