THE DREAM IS STILL ALIVE
No matter how many times i hear or play this song, brings chills to my body and watery eyes.....God bless this song and everyone involved in it....🙏
Same here.
Feel the same way
Amen 🙏🏾🥺
So proud of these musicians
Likewise
Needs to be played on EVERY radio station in EVERY state for ALL to hear in 2024!
Amen to that 🙏🏾 🙌🏽
Who's here on January 16, 2023 Playing this song for my nephew. They will never know how important this song was to us in the 80's
Yes!
Going from Stephanie Mills to Whitney Houston is seamless perfection
Indeed!
🙌🏿
Wow does anyone remember how special this song made them feel in the 80's. Hearing Whitney Houston, Teena Marie, & El Debarge sing was simply beautiful. R.I.P to Mr. MLK Jr.
It was made with love and soul!❤😊
I was in 3rd grade
@@trolloftruth2941So was I
It STILL makes me feel good!
REST IN PEACE SHOUT: Buffy Tha Human Beat Box, Jam Master Jay, Teena Marie, Whitney Houston, and the REV. DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.!!!!!!! '86 Classic!
DEEP 😢
💯
This almost brings 😭 to my eyes every time I watch it!
@@jacb630 me too! I was a little kid but I loved it!
REST IN HEAVENLY PEACE❤️🙌🏽🙏🏽🌹💫✨
No voice like Whitney's! ❤️❤️❤️
Unbelievably beautiful 😢
I thank God for letting her light shine so brightly, even if too briefly
None,nada,zero!!💯💯
Best part " Let the window shine🎤🎤🎤🎤👏🏾👏🏾
I hope that no one forgets this song! It has such a positive message!!
❤❤whtney
I played this song while in the barbershop and everybody 35+ years old lost their minds. 😄 Everyone took a trip down memory lane.
You keep playing it!!!
All the greatest came out to celebrate for Dr 👑💪💯classsic
My dad was elated when they began talking about the King Holiday. He died before it could be brought to fruition.
So, when I play this, it's not just for Dr King but for my Dad as well.
Joseph H Bulluck 1917-1984
Whitney killed her part....My favorite part of the entire song followed by Stephanie Mills.
Yeah too bad Whitney wasn't there with everyone else though, it would have made the video more special to see her interacting with everyone else.
Out of the water 👏🏽👏🏽
@Jarrel Ely Sheila E of course!!!!!, who do you think is?
Yesss
Jarrel Ely Whitney is black tho
This song will NEVER get old to me. Every year I make it a point to always listen to this song and sing along. You can't just listen one time, you feel this song in your spirit and bones! I always get emotional watching the video and listening to the positive message. Also seeing how some of the greats in the video are no longer with us! #KingDream
same here! It's a tradition for me to sing this whole thing ever year, and I always send it to people who are blown away that they never knew about it.
I thought I was the only person that did this. 💞💞💞💞
Same here
I feel the same as all the comments.
I'm always here. On the day, and about once every 2 months.
I love the feel, all the beautiful people in there. Whiney looking AMAZING. Those Teeth and Smile 👀😍. Love EVERYTHING ABOUT IT
This was better than WE ARE THE WORLD!!!!!
Watching this made me feel like I was in the 80s again for a few minutes. Wow, time flies.
dsoprana around this time...it’s on repeat
Me too
Same! Class of '87 here.
Yes!!! Time warped to 1986 ...was 15
Me too
Just watched the B High interview with Kurtis Blow and he talked about how Whitney’s voice damn near broke the studio and how Prince funded the video, when all he wanted was a small donation from numerous artists! POWERFUL SONG ON SO MANY LEVELS!!
Me too lol
You better know it!
This is Black Excellence!!!!
@@brendahstarr1349Personified!!!
Prince was truly a gem, his heart was bigger than him
Our Angel Whitney looks like she is singing to us from heaven.
Angel????heaven???da fuck you talking about!
Yessss my boo 😘😪
Gotta be a sour one among the bunch SMH
Umar Bentley, always
Yes !! It does!! The LORD blessed her with an angelic appearance and angelic voice💜💜💜💜 Luv u Whitney always💞💞
love that PRINCE actually paid for this video to be shot and took no crdit for it,,strictly from the heart
Sitting here watching this video with tears in my eyes and hurt in my heart. Missing Dr. King, Whitney, and all the other great artists that are no longer with us. Especially Prince who paid for the project. Happy King Day everyone!!!
Wow I didn’t know Prince was the mastermind behind this.
@@jmosa4665 me either!
YES 🙌🏾 he gave Kurtis Blow 90,000 fr this ❤

I learned something new today. Good for Prince.
Whitney definitely a classic she slayed her part. She definitely understood the ASSIGNMENT!!
Clearly she did!!💯❤️
Yes she did I always think of her part when this song plays in my head
That New Edition and Menudo collaboration part is always dope to see and hear
Wished Menudo did more R&B stuff! This collab was dope to see.
I so agree. Would have been great to see them make an album together.
FOR REALSS
They looked so happy to just be there. I just knew I was gonna marry Ricky Martin if Ralph Tresvant fell through 😂😂😂😂
@@delightful75😂
This new generation will never know the impact of this song
No they don't
Agreed
This new generation will never know the impact of nothing.
Absolutely agree,it’s a shame!
@@marshascott4220 say that one more time sis!!💯
Has a kid I would cry when Whitney started singing. And even now my grown ass teared up 😢 I miss her
I know how you feel that was a tough one for me too
Me 3
@@emckinney8816 she had such an anointing on her voice. Literally the presence of God
Forever ill miss Nippy
Me too my Brotha. Me too.
Rest In Peace and Love to Dexter Scott King. He passed away at age 62 today.
It's sad that this generation of artists can't get together like this.
Right !
Only so many voice aided devices (vox) can fit in a studio
Sir, they don’t have the fortitude or understanding of what it means to unite. This was not only a special time in life, but monumental for those whom grew up when artist checked their egos at the door for a greater cause.
Os brasileiros também amam essa música,,♥️🎧🎤
I was literally just thinking the same thing as I watched this
PRINCE funded This Video RIP PRINCE
I didn't know that.
@@IamMoniqueWhite Absolutely true they ran out of money to finish the video and he contributed along with a few other folks...
prince fitted the whole $90,000 they need it
REALLY????WOW!
Yes he did! I remember that!
Miss this type of stuff. Man RIP Whitney I tell u that smile was worth a million oh RIP Teena!!
Yesss love Whitney
This song makes me so sad. I miss Dr. King and all the artists in the video that we lost. Thank you PRINCE for paying for this video. It might not have gotten made. R.I.P.💜
Yes
Came here in 2024 for nostalgia purposes!
I miss the 80’s man…Great era💯
Who is still jamming this in 2020 2021 let's get it America
This Video should be played on all TV stations and Radio on MLK day! True artist singing for a True Legend! 🎈♥️🥰
Exactly 💯 💯
All day !
On his birthday and the day we celebrate him ❤️
The whole collab w/ hip hop artist & R&B artist at this time was something no one was doing . This video is truly legendary ❤❤
It's a shame hip hop doesn't stand up and fight for what's right anymore for the people so sad
Sad . Hip hop used to . Hip hop artist today I'm not sure
Uhh,well that's because black people have handed hip-hop over to whites.
Takes me back to when groups were a team. Black Power was on a rise.
@Cynthia Dickerson you said it my sister ✊✊✊
EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID MR. PATRICK
The dream lives on in 2023....Amen
Kurtis Blow said Prince quietly financed this video when the record company refused to do so. $90,000. Rest in peace to him and the other wonderful late artists who participated in the production of this beautiful song and video.:)
Tomorrow, Dr. King's national holiday is on his birthday for the first time in history. Still play this song every January. Thank you Dr.King for influencing my life and changing the world 🌎 🙏🏽. Thank God for Dr. King and his family especially his beautiful granddaughter ❤
I remember when this came on BET
I JUST POSTED this!
HAPPY 90TH BIRTHDAY, MLK!!!
Tears are flowing done my cheek as I remember these days as well as videos like the King song. It was a beautiful time in life. “For the King celebrate, sing sing celebrate”.
Yours and mine, too!
Thank you to Kurtis Blow (and Prince for his monetary contribution) for taking the lead on this important song.
Who’s here in 2021?!!! MLK, Jr. - such a great and mighty man. ❤️❤️❤️
I play this video every year. What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful man. Thank you, Doctor King. Your dream lives today.
Same here , and I posted it on Facebook as The Song of The Day
I use to love this song growing up in school. Brings back memories
yes, same thing I said, lol,
Facts
Meee toooo 😊
Whitney & Stacy Lattisaw!!
These ladies are beautiful & killed their verses!! 💞💞💞
Stephanie Mills and J. T. Taylor together are fantastic
Prince Whitney and the many others we love you ALWAYS.RIP.
Man the talent in this line up.! What an era! Don't u just love how the iconic Ms Mills gloriously , beautifully sings 'open up the window' and Whitney bursts forth, like sunlight bursting through; nothing could stop that incredible sound pouring out..you could feel the anointing on those pipes. WOW....
Whitney had the most perfect teeth. And I forgot how good she looked !!
Full Force, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, The Fat Boys, Whodini, Run DMC, New Edition, Menudo, Mellie Mel, Kurtis Blow, Stephanie Mills James "JT" Taylor, El Debarge, Teena Marie, Stacy Lattisaw, Whitney Houston
One of the greatest collaborations EVER!
@@bryanmason13 YESSS
I think Whitney stole the show on this one
@@Biscayroad1503 ofc i agree
What a wonderful song. It just popped into my spirit. Haven't heard it in years. Whitney looked and sounded so Angelic even in how they recorded her.
To Listening to this in 2020. I'll never forget. RIP TO EVERYONE...KING HOLIDAY
How about JAN 18TH 2021..ITS BEEN 35/36Years since this came OUT!!
Beautiful Song.. Whitney Killed It
yesss
@Tamira Hudson I agree. So did El!
Yes, she did
Whitney's debut album, Whitney Houston, though released on Valentine's Day 1985, only reached number one on the Billboard 200 in March of 1986..3 months AFTER the release of this song in January 1986. So crazy to imagine she was just a baby star at this time...and who she would become...
lol, she was already a star in the "black music" genre before she crossed over
Whitney went from being a baby star, to full Supernova in record breaking time! Rest in peace sweet Lady.🙏
"Everybody sing...for Martin Luther King"🎤🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
👍
🎶🎵🎶
I remember being at the marches with Stevie Wonder in DC to make Dr Martin Luther King Jr birthday a national holiday. To see this video still gives me chills. So many artists that are no longer here with us. You are watching this for a reason, teach your seeds
I was 14 when this song came out. I am now 50 and I still bawl when I hear it.
Me too. Same exact age
I am still King Celebrating 37 years later. ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰 1/12/23
AHH such good memories, that's why I love youtube just for things like this!!!!!
Yes!!
Seeing a baby Ricky Martin always floors me.
Was he in menudo
Kavin Williams yes.
I share this on my facebook page every year, being that I love the song and the message... Happy MLK day all....
Take a day to love somebody..
Me too! My sister, brother, and I used to watch this music video (on VHS, of course) ALL THE TIME. Great memories and even greater message.
#Tonya Adkins Nothing but Love my Sister.❤️Happy MLK DAY
I just found this on Instagram!!💗💗💗💗💗
Me too. I love this song
All the greats together
Once in a life time.
El DeBarge, Tina Marie, JT Taylor, Stephanie Mills, Whitney Houston...my favorite parts.
As soon as the music began I instantly got a smile on my face with sheer delight seeing all these beautiful familiar faces and reminiscing the past, that’s what a great classic song will do to you.
TAKE A DAY TO LOVE SOMEBODY!!!
Whew ! Whitney's part💞💞you can feel the spirit

WOW! Didn't realize all those great musicians have passed on what a great legend to know and to listen to their music still today.
So many greats we lost, may they all R.I.P including James "JT" Taylor from kool and the gang.
Glad to see another MLK Day and be able to hear this iconic track. I hope you all have a great day
I remember when this video came out. I was SOOOOOO excited to see New Edition in it. My favorites then & now. A time when R & B & Rap/Hip Hop was pure & good. Happy 90th birthday Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Me too love NE
N.E. fan for life!!!
The artists will never get together to do MLK Day like this! I was 14 in '86 Now I appreciate so much more #LOVE #PEACE #UNITY
hey, we're the same age buddy!!!!
Totally agree
You're right about that.
1985. But this single was released during the 2nd MLK holiday.
I was 14 in' 86 as well.
Don't forget Jam Master Jay...
WHITNEY HAVE ME CHILLS.
These kids today have no clue who these people are. I loved seeing Menudo in there
I miss this kind of music
Guy ! Truth. 👍
Agree 1,000,000%
Thank you Prince 💜
I listen to this song every year & again in 2022. Thank you Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We still have a long way to go but not as far as had before you. Continue to Sleep In Paradise
I haven't heard this in yearsssssss, put a huge smile on my face😁🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 CELEBRATE!!!!!
One of my favorite classics. I was a teenager when they made this tribute to MLK. Absolutely dope the way they got all the hip hop and r & b greats together. This never gets old
2023 We still Celebrating you Dr.Martin Luther King#HappyBirthday#WouldaBeen93YrsYoung
Funny how the son who looks just like him is named Dexter. This video is historic. Alot of these legends are now deceased.
Wow..Buffy-the Fat Boys, Lady T-Teena Marie & Ms Whitney Houston all are gone now.. Happy Birthday Dr king I hope we are doing you proud to some degree.. R.I.P. Siiiing, sing sing celebrate! Peace to you all.
I was 11 when this song came out.. 40 years later it still gives me chills ! Such a beautiful song ❤❤❤❤❤
JANUARY 21 2019... THE DREAM WILL NEVER DIE...REST IN POWER MLK.JR

That's right....whitey loves fools who sleep their lives away...keep dreaming bitches.
That's because his dream ain't coming true .... the world getting worst til the heavenly father come and take y'all to hell
Always loved this song
Exmo Gonzalez Me too bro
still gives me chills when I hear this song!
I’m tearing up
That Tina Marie was a bad white chic
Definitely throwing the cookout
Me too...
Good to see everyone, Love still matters people.
This is true
I listen to this every year for the holiday. Especially important this year!
RIP Dexter King. I'll always remember him doing this video intro to kids my age at the time. It made me want to learn more about Dr. King.
The 80s had some of the best music of all-time ❤❤❤
🎶🎤 Don’t Play on the holiday, work to find a better way! 🎶
Love this song...Love this video! Another reason why I miss Jukebox/The Box! This video would play damn near 24/7 throughout the month of January and we loved it! I remember my friends and I splitting up the parts singing outside! Those were the days 🙂😊💕 Rest in Paradise, Dr. King
I cry and shed tears everytime I played this video cause everybody came together for this one . Real Musician's and Real Rapper's that was on the same page. I don't see nobody in today's music doing that.
'73-born & will forever CELEBRATE & cherish your honor, Dr. King! 💔🙏🏾🎶🎵💪🏾
Yesssssss, bring GREAT MEMORIES, RIH Martin, Whitney, Jay, Bubba (fat Boys) Teena Marie!!!!!! Great singing!!!
This song still me chills. ❤
r.i.p. Whitney
Thank Dr. King for everything Rip HBD. We all missed you 🙏🕊️💔😭🌹
I love this song even till this day. So many amazing artists coming together for Dr King and his message. Artists of today need to do this.
I just wished young people of today really listens to the words to this song and the real true meaning of what this great man stood for so this world will be a better place to live .
2024 sharing with my 6 yr old grandson. Blessed❤
I've known about this song for years. I remembered when it first came out. I've played it every year on MLK Jr. Day. Just listened to it now and this is the first time I can say that tears came out of my eyes. Happy Birthday Dr. King in heaven 🎂
I Play This Song Every Year For Dr King
Me too! Never miss watching and posting this video every 3rd Monday of January
Man I forgot just how powerful Whitney's voice used to be.
How powerfull her voice is
Hearing this song in my head reminded me of what today is. It always feels new every time I hear it.
❤❤❤
