@@majr6852 Because back then all the black guys that mattered to the masses were Prince and MJ (and a little Lionel Richie).There was a limited view of what black artists could be. TTD was his own person, a true individual. Only similarities between him and Prince were their skin complexions and the motorcycles they rode.
Terence Trent D'Arby "Dance Little Sister" (Official Music Video A MUST!!) Just for future reference,, He changed his name & is now known as "Sananda Maitreya"
He was a bigger MJ fan than Prince.. He said he heard I want you back and that was it for him. He went to Princes house before his show in Minneapolis at First Avenue
TTD was huge in 1988, he was right up there as a peer of MJ, Prince, GM etc and nobody thought he was immitating anybody. He dropped out of the game and changed his name soon after, which has affected how he is now perceived, but trust me, he was a top drawer talent.
Prince was a big influence on a lot of artist back in the 80’s, you either wanted to be like Micheal Jackson or Prince. Terrance Trent Darby did have some Prince mannerisms but also MJ because both were influenced by James Brown and it showed. But the thing with Micheal was that there would never be another Micheal, there was only one who could dance and sing like him, but the thing with Prince , you could imitate Prince’s look, mannerisms , his music , or his band , but you had to sing, dance , play guitar and all of the other instruments in the studio and on the stage. So reallly , like MJ, there will never be another Prince. TTD still should have been a big star …
Terence Trent D'Arby is such an underrated artist. He is an amazing singer/songwriter! His debut album called "Introducing The Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby" is amazing. He changed his name to Sananda Maitreya which did nothing for his career but he still performs under that name and has some amazing songs, check out his songs, "Dance Little Sister", "If You Let Me Stay", "Let Her Down Easy", "Delicate", and more!! He did not imitate Prince but he, like Prince, was a huge James Brown fan. So if anything, they both imitated James Brown a little. But he had his own individual style and is a very talented guy who left the music business at the height of his career because he disagreed w/the corruptness of it all.💖💖
I lived in the same barracks in Germany that Terence lived in. Our supply sargeant had been tight with him before he went A.W.O.L. is the story I was told. Great music.
Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby easly one of the best albums of the 80s! if you do "Dance Little Sister" i highly suggest you do the official video! he was a badass till he "changed"
Being someone who grew up down the road from Paisley Park-I don’t see the D’arby/Prince at all. What I do remember about Terence is seeing him on MTV when I was 15! He told Mark Goodman (MTV VJ), “ I have sex as much as I wash my hair, and I wash my hair a lot.” 😂
I was in charge of our jukebox inhs cafeteria and the man said new group Jackson 5.I want you back and ABC. Terrence is a great singer in his own right
I think that TTD reminded you of Prince because of his intense look in his eyes but I don't think he was imitating him on purpose. You should check out the official music video for this song. You'll be pleasantly surprised that you guessed correctly the meaning of the song. React to his songs Who's Loving You? (Jackson Five cover), Dance Little Sister, Wishing Well and To Know Someone Deeply Is To Know Someone Softly please.
Yes ...he was the British version of Prince!!! Not a multi-instrumentalist like Prince.....was very popular for awhile the n fade from the public eye....while Prince continued to shine!!!
This is the only song I like by this artist! It's pretty deep and emotional! 😮 And that can be pretty frightening! Similar to being on the sunken place from the 2017 movie 🍿🎥 Get Out! Love and music can be so powerful and enigmatic! Later and take care!
Unfortunately that was his biggest drawback people put on him. He looks like Prince with braids. But he’d not and he doesn’t sound the same. Unfortunate
Lame reaction video. Terence Trent Darby does not sound like Prince at all or look like him. The fact that you couldn't look at his face during the song is kind of stupid. Too bad they didn't let you play the video to this song. It would have put things in perspective. And when you praise a song, don't act like you're holding your nose. Won't be subscribing to this shallow review or person.
Somebody looking like somebody doesn’t mean they’re imitating them. There’s somebody in this world that everybody looks like.
Yeah but... when he first came out he was clearly seen as an imitation of The Purple One...

@@Hibbs4Prezhe had an interview where he took umbrage with being compared to Prince and Michael Jackson just because he's a person of color.
@@majr6852 He was out before Prince...
I remember when this and Wishing Well (his #1 hit) came out. I always liked "Sign Your Name" better, slow and incredibly soulful.
Terence Trent D'Arby "Dance Little Sister" (Official Music Video A MUST!!)
Just for future reference,, He changed his name & is now known as "Sananda Maitreya"
Also “Let’s Go Forward” another great song from that album
@@michaelv9929 100%Agreed.
Dance Little Sister 💯 PU-LEEZE. Absolute banger
@@ARome-po9rd No.doubt.
Actually,, The whole album is great from the beginning to the very end.
He was a bigger MJ fan than Prince.. He said he heard I want you back and that was it for him. He went to Princes house before his show in Minneapolis at First Avenue
First.. Angela,, This is an absolutely excellent album from beginning to the very end..TRUST ME!!..Well worth a listen. 🔥❤️🔥
It really was one of greatest albums of the 80’s , especially for a debut album on top of that !
Dance Little Sister by him is 🔥
Great album!!! Wishing Well is my fave track off that album!!! 🤘😝🎸🎶
Mine too!
'If You Let Me Stay' from the same album. Fantastic voice
Beautiful song from my childhood

Masterpiece
Check out his collaboration with English singer Des'ree on the song "Delicate." Gorgeous video too.
Terence had the Stevie Wonder smoothness, he is an amazing artist. This brings back good memories in my life.
greetings from Uruguay 🇺🇾 I've been following you for a while, I like your videos and reactions😊❤
Classic song! His voice is definitely unique and he had several different hits ❤️🙏🏻
I lived in the same barracks in Germany that Terence lived in. Our supply sargeant had been tight with him before he went A.W.O.L. is the story I was told. Great music.
I see some similarities between him and Prince, but I don't think he was necessarily trying to imitate him.
Check out his song 'Dance little sister', if you're not moving to that track you must be made of granite. It's a banger.
When he said his debut album was bigger than Sgt. Pepper by the Beatles, it was all over for him.
Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby easly one of the best albums of the 80s! if you do "Dance Little Sister" i highly suggest you do the official video! he was a badass till he "changed"
My favorite TTD song.
Personally i do not see the imitating Prince thing at all but that's me..
" The Hardline According To..." is a great album.
Hardline according to TTD is a fantastic album from start to finish
he changed his name to Sananda Francesco Maitreya , married an italian woman and moved permanantly to italy i n 2003

Its scary to love something that much ..
golden gloves boxing champ
I was expecting more from this dude but this album is great !!!
Thanks for this song I've heard it on radio but I never knew who sang it until now thanks again lady 😎
What a great first album , never really lived up to his potential
Terence was very popular in the late 80's and this is one of his best-Colin Ward
I was in charge of our jukebox inhs cafeteria and the man said new group Jackson 5.I want you back and ABC. Terrence is a great singer in his own right

He actually was a combo of James Brown and Micheal. I guess you could throw Prince in there, and maybe even a little Georgio.
He has changed his name to Sananda Maitreya.
Great album. IMO more soulful than Prince but I definitely see the comparison.
Great song!! Love the Sheryl Crow cover as well!!
Yes ...he was the British version of Prince!!! Not a multi-instrumentalist like Prince.....was very popular for awhile the n fade from the public eye....while Prince continued to shine!!!
Actually, during his appearance on American Bandstand, some people were pushing the narrative that he might become the next Michael Jackson.

Do contact by Edwin Starr get disco song get beat . He has a great voice
¥0U R So Fine ANGELA!!!
Please listen to A Whiter Shade of Pale
why you never react to marcelito pomoy??????????????
And his version of WHO'S LOVING YOU is better than MJ's.
Ya l.ook l.ike Donatello of the ninja turtles movie 1990 and 1991 the mouth and nose ) not to be unkind just an observation and opinion👍🏻✝️
No no. He did not imitate Price at all. Terence Trend Darby was one of its kind, with a great album.
Unfortunately that was his biggest drawback people put on him. He looks like Prince with braids. But he’d not and he doesn’t sound the same. Unfortunate
He was less talented than Prince, but on the other hand, he was much more talented than Georgio. lol

After hearing this song back then, it gave me a SADE type of sound kind of him being a male version of her.
Another good D’Arby song is If You Let Me Stay.
