- Barbara Weathers’ time as lead vocalist for Atlantic Starr prepared for an enduring career in the music business. Or, did it?
Barbara Weathers - Barbara’s career as a singer began when she was 13 and just a few years later joined the R&B super group Atlantic Starr as their lead vocalist. With Barbara at the helm, the group scored hit after #1 hit such as “Secret Lovers,” “If Your Heart Isn’t In It,” and the perennial classic, “Always.” Atlantic Starr toured extensively throughout Europe, Asia and the U.S. and before long, Barbara built up quite a following. She left the group in 1989 to pursue her solo career and her first record was produced for Warner Bros. by Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire. Since then, she has continuously performed and recorded around the globe.
She's almost 60 and still gorgeous 😍

So fine!!!!
Grossly underrated vocalist that sings circles around singers of today
WOW Barbara still look amazing. Barbara took Atlantic Starr to the next level her voice is truly amazing. Great to see her.
BS she wasn't no Sharon Bryant the original lead singer her voice was much better than Barbara Weathers and the other so called singers who came after her.?
That's a matter of opinion 😂
@@MusicLoverPearson Yet, the song everybody in the world knows Atlantic Starr for, "Always", was sung/made by Barbara...facts...
We love her! Still listening to her music in 2024
They need to have a reunion with her and Sharon Bryant…just once. It would be epic!
Imagine being talented vocally AND pretty!
I loved her with Atlantic Starr. She was totally awesome. Her voice and her beauty worked well with the group.
Atlantic Starr hasn't been the same since!
Barbara and I went to middle school together. We were in chorus together for several years as well as other classes. Always a sweet girl and super talented. She looks exactly like she did in middle school. We went to separate high schools and she started her successful journey. She was always a truly sweet person.
Glad to see Barbara still in the game. She looks great! I'd love to see Ms. Weathers and Sharon Bryant do a project together.
that would be dope
Love her vocals ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Agreed
Barbara was absolutely delightful when she joined Atlantic Starr.
That would be great!
OMG I just googled her and saw this was done 3 weeks ago. Love her
You and me both
Done?
Barbara was so talented, beautiful and fashionable. I loved her with Atlantic Starr.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
"Don't take me for granted" is still my favorite song from Atlantic Star ⭐Love her voice 🙏❤️
Barbara hasn’t aged at all. Very pretty. She can really sing! May God continue to bless her.
She was The Voice! ❤
Always good to see Barbara she has a huge fan base and we want to see more of her 🙌🏾
Still gorgeous w/ great personality. Loved her w/ Atlantic Starr. Never knew Maurice was involved in her solo project(s).
She was sooo beautiful and soooo talented. Could have gone much further but she's probably happier than those who do, to be honest.
She still pretty. Her personality seems so genuine
I hope she can get back on stage because she has so many great songs. There are songs popping up and I’m blown away when I see videos of songs from her that I never knew existed!.❤
Barbara loves to laugh and that keeps her looking young. I never met her but seems like she has a great personality
Damn, she still fine...boy did I crush on her back in the day.
I went to high school with Barbara The Great James B Dudley High School Go Panther!!! i'm a year older than she is I would love to see her perform here in her hometown Greensboro NC.💙💛
Do you know Bridgette Drake and Cassandra Poteat?
I also went to the GREAT James B. Dudley High School, she and I graduated from the same class but I knew her when she was good friends with my cousin years before high school, she is SO talented and she looks fantastic like ALL of us from Dudley! PANTHER PRIDE!!!
She’s still gorgeous!!! She was a high school crush for a young brother
Barbara Weathers still looks the same she did 35 yrs ago wow
She looks great but she was super fine 35 years ago.
Man her voice always gave me chills....good chills...Will always be my fav female vocalist of all time.no one even close.
I remember when she came out with her solo album back in 1990
She is gorgeous
GOOD to see she still here and doing well love to see her one day at Concert!!
Simply Beautiful!
So iconic! Nothing like original singers!!
My FAVORITE Atlantic Starr lady!!! She's still sooo beautiful!!!
I’m so glad to see her, I wondered what happened to her.
Barbara Weathers is still beautiful. I wish she would release something new.
Is there an Atlantic Starr unsung? One of my favorite groups. I would love Barbara Weathers and Sharon Bryan to performance together that would be epic.
I have always loved this woman's voice
Barbara looks beautiful! I'd buy any music she released to this day!
Always thought she was beautiful ❤️
Barbara looks beautiful! If Your Heart Isn't In It and The Master Key are my favorites to hear her sing
She looks fantastic, have to admit Sharon Bryant will always be my favorite female lead singer of Atlantic Starr but after she left and she started she won me over..
Sharon was very good.
I think she has a sister named Angie I used to work with her at a clothing store in Atlanta. And Angie let me hear the promo of secret lovers before it was released and I told her sister it would be a hit. And I also saw Barbara weathers perform at a club call illusions in the '80s she was very good. I hope her sister Angie is okay me and Angie went out several times to party. I'm also from North Carolina Charlotte.
All in the name of love lives rent free i love that song my favorite by her and wayne lewis
Beautiful lady and wonderful vocalist.
Barbra is still beautiful😍
Love her and the group 🙏
Her Album Produced By Maurice White Is Nice, He Absolutely Knew How To Bring Out A Beautiful Woman's Voice 💞🙏😍💯
What a fun interview. Enjoyed your teasing and chemistry with Barbara. So good to see her laugh and catch up with her. Thank you for this interview.
her new album should be called TIMELESS just like her voice is
Barbara has an amazing, distinctive, beautiful voice, and she looks absolutely stunning 💖🌟💖
Beautiful women, singer, and entertainer. I've always said Barbra should've went far like Whitney Houston, Anita Baker, Stephanie Mills.
I totally agree
Yes with her vocal abilities and her talent.
She's a superstar in heaven. Unlike Whitney, Anita, and Stephanie.
Damn she looks good still
Great singer and so beautiful!!! I always liked her. Still do ....lol
Would love to get another interview with Miss Weathers! 😍
This was an superb interview with Mrs. Barbara Weathers.
She's still gorgeous
Ms Barbara you are also one of my favorite singers. Atlantic Starr experienced it's greatest success as a group during your era. You are beautiful inside, and outside dear! So good to see you, and to know you're still active in music. I'll be anticipating your new music projects on release.
@Philly 215 angelic voice for sure with her fine self. 💖
Atlantic Starr is by far my favorite group of all time
Barbara, you still have it in you. We are looking forward to your new material and to your moving forward! Go Barbara Go!
Wow praise God, she's amazing
Such a fabulous Singer.
Amazing vocally!
Vocal artistry!!
Among the super ultra-feminine sound Vocalists.
Among the Best of the Best, ever.
She reminds me of Deniece Williams. Both great great GREAT singers.
Barbara Weathers was and IS absolutely amazing!!!! "Where Can You Run"...my favorite!!!!
Great Interview
Gorgeous and talented woman that I did a tribute to months back on a now gone youtube channel...I wish she was more active doing interviews and on social media because she deserves more praise than she gets! I so wanted her to be on Pass The Mic maybe like the other 80s stars...she makes me proud to be from NC lol
I love you still Barbara 😍😍😍
I love,love her from day one. Still beautiful as well. Still my all time crush
Ms. Barbara is still gorgeous

I love your voice.
Your singing voice is really, really the most.
You guys are so great.
Something inside of me is screaming for this guy to
"SPEAK LOWDER PLEASE".
'Silver Shadow' !!
I remember meeting them at the Fevers Club in Raleigh NC. Also I met one of her girl friends that was going to NC State studying ASE Aerospace Engineering
You are the best
What more can I say about Beautiful Barbara
1985 when Atlantic Starr released As the Band Turns as their very final platinum album for A&M, she sung on If Your Heart Isn't In It, Secret's Lovers and Silver Shadow, al three became hits.
Shame on MCA MCA for not signing her
then 1987 hit big with the album All in the Name of Love on a new label Warner with the hit Always followed by that was One lover at a time, and of course the album title hit.
1990 Master Key just proved Babs the beauty in her voice.
All the past time was better. The present of Atlantis Starr is still present, thanks to what was done before and the new generations listen and are surprised by the quality of the group and its creations.
You guys are so wonderful
Peace,peace peace!
Be still my heart!
Peace,your new songs and I got the frying 🍳 pan peace!
Do she somewhat look like and give you Jill Scott vibes.
She pretty much do then a little bit of Deniece Williams
Always thought Free from 106 and Park looks like Barbie especially in the early years @@jammck1399
For me, she was Halle Berry before Halle Berry. Except prettier. She's still beautiful
Hi how do I get booking details for Barbara for a UK event?
Another thing, was she serious about reaching out to Jeff to contact her? I'm writing a screenplay and though it's still in the works, I chose her to be in my movie. So if she was serious, I need to know. I'd be fucking honored. Truly. I'll message this account until I get a response or blocked. Lol
❤❤❤
Man, I used to love her!! She and Jill Scott favor.
i love you
