I loves this song, sometimes I get mad that these songs came out before I was old enough to appreciate it. I was born in 1980 but came up in the ninties when there was no subtleness in the r & b songs. The seventies and eighties had real love songs.
BTW The guy is reminding me of a skinny rerun from “what’s happening” LOl

Re: the original version
Thanks so much for posting the video! I have always loved that song but have never seen the video. Wow! What a throwback!

I love the original and the Alicia Keys version, I had the Alicia version on my myspace page for a minute.

It is too bad that several members of the Force MD’s have passed on, and they could not be around to see or hear these remakes.

Alicia is still my girl, but the original still holds a special place in my heart.

damn b. scott! I should spank you! I watched that damn force mds video and now I’m all nostalgic about the 80s up in Jersey. Them damn 80s (deep sigh) and Chance that Love is a House is a classic “when the sun meets the morning, I hear you calling my name (TC!) and baby you know if I answer, things will never be the same (NEVER BE THE SAME) cuz Yooooou, had my heart….”
don’t get me started.

The video is still as cute as ever. Dudes got to use the 227 set for a day it looks like, put some family members in the mix as extras LOL. I like how they serenaded the girl and all, but she coulda at least brought her ass out to the stoop after all that LOL

B, if you could post Always by Atlantic Starr next, then we’d be cookin with grease! I used to LOVE that song and video

B.Scott, you are too young to remember the Force MD’s aren’t you??? LOL Force MD’s used to be the shizzle that Tender Love and that Love is a House were the bomb. Ah, the 80s..back when black folks (except the Jacksons) had to hustle to make videos and the video girls wore clothes and did their own hair..so they looked like real people….hmmm… memories

Alicia’s version was nice, she put her own lil’ spin on it. Big ups 2 u, B. Scott for going back to the source! Those brothers really put it down back in the 80’s. They had (have) loads of talent!
