Klymaxx is legendary!!!
Brings back good old '80s memories!

[@MonicaMariaMcLean-sh8ej]

Klymaxx with the head of the time. Legendary

[@letitiacooper98]

I'm 45 and still love their music❤❤❤❤​@@MonicaMariaMcLean-sh8ej

[@latoyabell8991]

I was only 12 when men all pause came out but that song is timeless!! I love Klymaxx to this day because they proved women can do anything

[@MJBoogey]

Except form a band apparently!😆

[@jeffreyhathaway2800]

When they performed "The Men All Pause" at a Providence, RI concert, the STUPID music critic for our local paper thought they were singing about MENOPAUSE!!

​@@jeffreyhathaway2800that's hilarious! I'm in the men all pause right now so I sing it all of the time!!! Menopause at 47 is some bs!😂😂😂😂

[@feleciaclemons5074]

​@@MJBoogeyklymaxx wasnt a band?

[@ignaciofuentes2642]

Klymaxx is definitely one of the first groups I think of when I think of the 1980s. Good times.

[@SupremeNerd]

SOS band, Lakeside and The Whispers are the others

[@SupremeNerd]

Shalamar, The Time, Midnight Star, Atlantic Starr and Cameo

[@SupremeNerd]

Cant forget Mtume

[@charmainesimmonds9899]

Absolutely ❤

[@angelofmery21]

Are most of them lesbians?

[@BT-jm3ww]

I loved Klymaxx......my little 4 years old self singing I Miss You and I'd Still Say Yes....I still love these songs.

[@latriciar4305]

It is very sad that a group of all talented young women could not hold on and stay together and stay focused as ONE. They all complimented each other. I love them💯💕🏆 "I MISS YOU" KLYMAXX😘

[@GregBoyd-qg3il]

When one wants this the other want something else then there's going to be problems serious problems like men groups arrogance and boldness

[@MonicaMariaMcLean-sh8ej]

I miss them too klymaxx I love that song meeting the ladies room

[@MonicaMariaMcLean-sh8ej]

Yeah that was too bad they couldn't stay together make more magic with their music. 🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@shanteecoleman8003]

😊 My momma put me on them!!!! 😁 can see us NOW they made Our time together Extra special We would be dancing ALL around the house!!! 🤭 Thanks Klymaxx 🙋🏾‍♀️

[@debrasjourney]

Great moment in history to hear their songs back in the day. Their hits will continue to live on!

[@fatima4499]

I was a big fan of Klymaxx.

[@sunshinecreole1319]

I saw Klymaxx in concert in my hometown in high school; they were AWESOME!!!

[@rjam1974]

The way Klymaxx literally came apart at the seams is so tragic. They couldn't see the potential they had if they stayed together??? It makes me respect EWF, Stones, and a few other acts that have stood the test of time as a group for decades. When you reach worldwide success the egos can go through the roof

[@1990758]

Not really the 4 album did not do good

[@crnkmnky]

If you watch this series _Unsung,_ you will notice a similar pattern with these funk bands.
Business people start whispering in each member's ear: "you can be bigger if you go solo." What they really mean is "I can get a bigger slice of _your_ pie if you go solo."
It's not so surprising. Music money can be fickle, especially when split six ways…

[@1990758]

@crnkmnky exactly i've watch a lot of unsung show and you know how it's going to end.

[@brandycoke713]

They proved everybody who said they wouldn't make it wrong 😆

[@DR-wp6gy]

"I miss you" and "divas need love too" are my favs

[@DEEDEEEason]

@@DR-wp6gy Did someone just share this video? I’m noticing a boat load of new comments from today and the last few? Wow, I love it!

[@ucity85]

Yea they were hott 🔥 back in those days. 1985 was the year I graduated high school and they were on the radio continously

[@DEEDEEEason]

They were. Joyce and Bern are still bringing it. Those are some sexy, funky seniors.

[@brandycoke713]

a taste of honey did it I don't know why people thought they couldn't.

[@blestgirlonthablock]

LOVED their music , their energy,.and their style!!!!!❤

[@DEEDEEEason]

Thanks for sharing the video. #KLYMAXX forever. Joyce Irby was/is my favorite. She, Bernadette and COOLEY are still performing separately. Lorena, Lynn and Robbin are good...living life and doing their own things unrelated to music.

[@jacquelinegrayden4706]

"I miss you," is my favorite

[@brooklynswagger]

That entire album was fire!!

[@LaLa-bb5kb]

I still got that 45 I miss you!!

[@jacquelinegrayden4706]

[@marfialennox2642]

RECIPE FOR ALL AN GIRL BAND:
1. Women who have been taught their values since they were little girls.
2. Women who were taught since they were little girls to respect other women
3. Women who see the value in other women, and know how to move past simple disagreements
4. Women who understand that each woman brings something different BUT necessary to the table
5. Women who understand they have no need to be jealous/envious because they’ve been taught to be at peace in their own lanes.
6. Women who know that sleeping with record producer/manager is taboo
7. Women who do not allow outsiders to tell an individual, “you’re the star of the group you should leave the others and go solo.“

I won't say 6 & 7 are "most" important, but I can think of so many artists that have fallen into those two. Getting played by the business. 😤

This would be a great series for nextflix

No doubt! 🎬

[@sirpoppinchuck]

All my homies were in the “Meeting in the Ladies Room “ Popping , the video is 80’s iconic!

[@crnkmnky]

😎

[@jeaninerichardson7179]

WOW 👏 I was about 15 when 🤔 they came out. They were totally Badazz and that Era consisted of Klymaxx, the MaryJane Girls, Vanity, Appalonia 6, they were Awesome.

[@llw53one]

Listen, I love them! My favorite song is “Say Yes”, this is my cleaning house song, over and over again…🎶 (yall see what I did with that last line, lol)

[@quentinparker7404]

Klymaxx and Madame X were so sophisticated and underrated.

[@musicnerd72]

Bernadette and Madame X were WAY ahead of their time in 1987. One of my most favorite albums ever! 👌

[@RoseTheRealest]

🎤Don’t slap me, cuz I’m not in the mood

[@pennytoney1517]

I missed this group I wish they had stayed together. They were amazing too me

[@user-xk8qb3ef7f]

Klymaxx is so classic!!! I wasn't even born when they came out. I was maybe 2 years old when I Miss You debuted. But my parents always played their music so I'm VERY familiar with their music!!! 💯 ❤

[@williamchappell9858]

Meeting in the Ladies Room & Man Size Love are my favorite Klymaxx songs

[@tina7985]

1 was 13 and played there songs to death ❤❤ love them

[@JanetM05]

In the 80s I became fierce because of the freedoms I found in this group Klymaxx and people like Shiela E. They are awesome and paid the price but they need to know how important their contributions to music and the Blqck community are…
I’m 63 now and still fierce! And I don’t plan to quit…..I’m sure you ladies can outcast these groups today…. I WILL FOREVER LOVE YOU🥰
THANK YOU✌🏽♥️😇🙏🏾🩸🪶✝️💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐✌🏽

[@williamchappell9858]

Klymaxx was the black version of pop female group The Go-Gos

[@denzibluesolinfinitymusicw6535]

They aren't even remotely similar period Idk how you came up with that comparison 😅😅😅😅😅

[@musicnerd72]

​@@denzibluesolinfinitymusicw6535 Exactly! Klymaxx were funky. Go Go's we're bubblegum pop!

[@Aquineas]

I was a freshman in college when "Men All Pause" came out. I'll be honest though, my favorite song was "Good Love" in 1990. That beat was, as we used to say back then, phat!

[@MonicaMariaMcLean-sh8ej]

The album meeting in the Ladies room came out when I was born 1984. A good year for music 🎶🎶🎶

[@DrAmirahKweliCrystalRckGoddess]

Oh I loved them.. I wish they get some counseling or life coaching and work it out. I would love to see them in concert.

[@sistacbell]

My fave girl group of all time. And all talented. When egos get in the way it is heartbreaking but if they could just all love on each other like they really did in the beginning then I think would be a good thing to help them heal.

[@theadvocate3006]

Unfinished Business... Name of next album😂

[@deweystowe233]

The Men All Pause was so Bad Ass at the time It still sounds good to me today 🔥🎤

[@sistacbell]

Sexxy is my theme song. I love klymaxx period.

[@williamchappell9858]

Fenderella sounds like a young Michael Jackson

[@sistacbell]

Lorraine Stewart had that baby face. Love it.

[@henrywashington3732]

Teddy Riley sound was starting with that New Jack Swang. Everyone including MJ from early to mid 80's had to reconsider there music.

[@fatima4499]

One of my favorite songs is called Good Love

Thank you for uploading this!!

[@ryanfgrantjr3009]

Let's see a vid about OAKTOWN 357, another female 80's short lived Mc Hammer spin off.

[@fanniemoore8079]

I think she was NOT trying to steal it. To be fair, they ALL left and she was one of the ones that was stuck, left holding the bag. I mean, what else do you want. It sounds like they were mad or upset that they didn't think of it. But like she said, it can be 6 Klymaxx groups and they can all get paid...I don't get why and what the root of it was. THEY LEFT!

[@annpayton]

If *KLYMAXX* had just keep that attitude vibe only for their acts on stage and NOT within the Group, then this Female Band could have survived through the years being still on top as a homage for all female bands today and yesteryear ...🎉👍🏿🌟¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

[@DEEDEEEason]

@@MastersGraduate2023 They are all alive as of today. Joyce and Bernadette are still working as musicians. Lorena is a homemaker who occasionally does music. Lynn and Robbin are living their lives off stage. All 5 of them currently communicate, more now than before, as they are in a legal suit against Cooley, who is still pursuing sole use of the name Klymaxx…All.THESE.Years.LATER…STILL.

Yeah the band was a mixed racial band and because of it, that was one of the reasons why they were called the female version of The Time.

Hey Fam, I had a friend named Diva that played with y'all, she played any instrument from DC who was an excellent drummer that at times would come to my rehearsals and sit in on the drums. She built VW engines and had the personality of an Angel;n with that being said what bis she doing these days?

[@kelvendyson1508]

The song they're jamming yo at 8:09 sounds like the instrumental jam from I Wanna Be Your Lover by Prince!

[@heymisswest]

I liked them

Just goes to show you that women cannot work together - it always falls apart - how many female bands do we have today? Nuff said

I was 19 when I first heard The Men All Pause I hated it I even hated Bernadette Cooper's intro Whenever I heard the song on the radio the moment the song came on I'd change the station Then one day when the song came on I decided not to change the station and the let song play on and I liked what I heard and I've liked it ever since
