They play this song on XM quite frequently. I love it.

Don't waste your time
She's my friend and I tell you she ain't no good

Sounds like some shit I'd say.

I got this album on a vinyl dig a couple of years ago.
Didn't know there was a video for this song. You can
tell this is an early 80's video by looking at the phones
they are using.

I was reading the comments on Youtube and someone claims that the guy in the Mercedes is Ice-T.You can see him at the beginning of the video.

This song takes me back to early 1984 Around February and March of that year,this song was all over the R&B stations.

that lyric is similiar to Skyy's "Call Me",in which a woman is trying to steal her friend's man....

"though your girlfriend is a friend of mine
here's my number and a dime..."

SoulAlive said:

That was a popular theme in the late 70s and 80s.

Mr. Telephone Man
Call Me - Skyy
Send For Me - Atlantic Starr
are just a few songs that have a similar theme.

The album's title track Be a Winner had a similar
chord to Don't Waste Your Time. The last thing i
remember from the duo is Guilty that was released in
85 or 86.

That was another favorite of mine. I used to be a sneaky whore like that but now I've changed and am no longer sneaky. Now I have friends in which we share men, sometimes at the same time in three and foursomes. I just got my priorities straight. Men are only good for 20 minutes, friends are forever.

Oh shit, Ice "T"!!

Similarly,their 1983 hit "Feels So Good" sounds alot like "Don't Stop The Music".





yeah,that was one of their final singles.They followed it up with "I Wouldn't Lie To You".

Yeah, I remember buying the 12" single in early spring of '84.

They have alwyas reminded me of Rene and Angela

I met both of them 2 years ago backstage at the Stevie Wonder concert in Dallas. Alisa acted very Whitney Houston-ish. They sang a verse and chorus of "Don't Stop the Music" for us backstage. It was really fun to hear Stevie singing background vocal.

They're from Dallas,if I'm not mistaken.

SoulAlive said:

Yes, they are. They still live here.

Their sound always reminded me a bit of the S.O.S band.

phunkdaddy said:

Rene and Angela focused on "duets" while Y&P centered on Alise and the guy was an afterthought. The SOS Band had a similar formula. One of the guys sang lead a few times, but Mary was always the vocal "star" of the group.

Lol.....that analysis is spot own. I never thought about like that but are correct.

Graycap23 said:

I have too much time on my hands.

I love "Feel So Good". My favorite is the dub version on the B Side of the 45 but that side is scratched as hell now.

vainandy said:

Do you remember their 1983 single "Heartbeat"? That's one of my favs...

the cardiac arrest may have been for the best
It was stimulating,regulating,pulsating
sometimes irritating,but...

This is some trifling shit.
So what if your friend is cheating on her boyfriend, does that make you are better person for using this to get with him?

Yep, got that one on 45 too.
