I’m here in 2025. I love this song. Makes me feel my childhood memories. I think about my parents, they’re deceased I found comfort in this song. I love Stephanie with that amazing voice. She never got the credit she deserves. ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
Stephanie Mills is one of the greatest vocalist ever. She was before the late great Whitney Houston. Here Í honor Ms. Stephanie Mills. Thank you for all the great work
"I can hear my friends telling me, Stephanie, please sing my soooong!' Whew! this will forever be my favorite line in this song! The power & energy in her vocals-amazing!
Hearing Stephanie Mills sing Home is giving me the chills! She is one of music's greatest female voices to come before Whitney Houston, Anita Baker, Toni Braxton, Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Rihanna, and Mary J. Blige!
No one can touch this song like Stephanie. I never tire of hearing it. Stephanie and Nell Carter both have/had distinctive voices. No one can duplicate them.
How come BET never honors this woman? I'm tired of seeing Stevie, Gladys, Aretha, and Patti. Stephanie Mills deserve the honor just as much as they do! She's had a huge influence on R&B! Just my opinion!
Renee Ross Me too. You got that right. Dionne Warwick, Stephanie and a few more needs to be honored. Quiite frankly some of the ones they have honored don't have many nor major hits!!!
When I was strung out on drugs in the streets I wanted out so bad I wanted to go home but was trapped in something I could not escape. I would play this song longing to go back home.. God heard my cry and set me free from drugs. I now know that the home I was longing for back then was not My earthly home but my home in God kingdom. I love this song it speaks spiritual things to me
This song got me through the Gulf War. I would play it every night and pray for me and my buddies. Thankfully, the prayers were answered for most of us
100% and more. before Whitney we had Stephanie. She is no joke once you put a microphone in her hand live or recording Stephanie can blow wwwwww. 🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹. Her voice is rare and effortlessly
Well, not completely. She had rhinoplasty done in the late 70's. Patti Labelle did as well. Both of them HAD rather large noses. I didn't think it was necessary but it wasn't my nose. 😂 Good thing they didn't go overboard with it. As far as that sort of thing goes, theirs were nicely done. Oh and after the late 70's Both ladies wore wigs and weaves quite often. Well, we know their voices are definitely REAL! 😂
I'm 44 an I heard this song when I watched the whiz an I been in love with it ever since God had her make this song for all his children thank you father God because there's nothing like HOME U CHOSEN ONE'S KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.AMEN
It is sad that she has been and still is an amazing performer and nobody bothers to give her any recognition for her talents and contributions to music. She is outstanding. God blessings for her
She's received Recognition, Honor, Awards & Accolades all throughout the 70's, 80's and 90's when she was at the Height of her Career. I don't have amnesia and remember well _out of Respect_ for all Legendary Artists of her time. She's not dropping Albums left & right present day so people are not gonna skip over this _'new Generation & new sound'_ and talk about her like back in the Day when she was Active. This is a different Era.
you have seen the live version of this at the Apollo? Unreal AND keep in mind, THOUSANDS of people love her, the powers that be that would rather show the "talent" of RAP, can't really change that.
I work for Stephanie Mills and I just gotta say thank you to all of the love that you guys are posting. Thank you for appreciating her talent of almost 50yrs in this business.
Victor Antonio, Stephanie Mills is truly a class act. I have always enjoyed hearing her sing, she is an extremely talented Lady. She is the Queen. Much peace.
Here is a singer. She doesn't have to be half naked to sell a song. Her voice does everything to make you love her!!!!!! Take a lesson you young girls coming up now.
"Half naked" I wish no one would harp on that. It's annoying. Who did that anyway? I rarely buy or search music videos, only buy the albums and listen to the radio. And Ross totally sells it. Original or no, s/he is my favorite. Also, I find Ross extremely unpleasant to look at now, but no less pleasant to listen to. I could go to sleep and wake up listening to that angelic rhapsody. PS, the film version of the story isn't the best one, but it convinced me of passionate feelings like no other version of it I've encountered. I like the live versions for encompassing more and the most from the story they are all based on, yet the film captures raw emotion like none of the live ones have. I like teenage Mills much more than fifty something Mills. Of course, I will never have the luxury of seeing her live performance as a teen, as I wasn't there, and there's no video of it. But there's plenty of audio recording of them to chillax to. Too bad the television version was so mechanical.
Isaac, you dam idiot. What artist do you know who can reach her levels and hold them like she does. Go back to your gadgets that you stick in your ears and listen to the crap they are putting out today. I'll sit here in my parlor and listen to a really fine woman with a really fine voice on my stereo system!
By Delight, Only Stephanie Mills can sing this song. This song is a Prayer and God chose this Beautiful Lady with a pure heart to Sing to Him. I love you Stephanie and I see the Pureness of you when you sing. Keep On Singing to The Glory of God. Love you.❤️🙋🏽♀️🌹
Stephanie Mills this scottish woman wants to thank you for the music , the absolutely divine music , I've been listening to this gifted gal for 4 decades and the sweetness is still there as soon as she opens her voice ❤️
Calvin Payton my NFL 🏈🏈🏈🥇colleague Walter Payton brother Tyler Perry also Good friend s Ronald Marshalls ❤️ love you r 🎶🎵 music professional drummer took lesson at age13 Chicago graduated played behind bootsy Collins bass player kids loved me
***** And I'm expecting Ms. Mills to start the show right with the feeling we once had before the new Dorothy Shanice Williams goes on her journey to OZ.
You have no idea what this means for me and countless others who have been able to truly appreciate all the words of this song. I dide twice with the Corona virus back in 2020 and I came HOME WITH MY MOTHER! One of my nurses, ALONG WITH THE STRONGEST OF NURSES IN THE WORLD 🌎 WAS NAMED STEPHANIE. I JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT HOW MUCH THAT THIS SONG 🎵 MEANS TO ME. GOD BLESS MY ENTIRE FAMILY OF MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS ON THE FOURTH WING AT UNC LENOIR HOSPITAL IN KINSTON N.C.
This woman like so many Black women was so underrated. Her beauty, sex appeal, voice, style and class were not acknowledged nearly as much as it should have been.
@@tomjoad4551 what a very ignorant thing to say. It has nothing to do with white women when you consider that the vast majority of famous black female singers were produced by black music icons such as Berry Gordy and Quincy Jones. There are mitigating factors I'm sure into why Stephanie did not get the type of attention one would think she deserved but trust me when I tell you there are millions of women who sing this well if not better he never even get any attention at all because it's all about striking when the iron is hot. Success is as much about timing is it is anything and the greatest example of that is Diana Ross who was never really the great singer that she was made out to be but rather in the right place at the right time. Sometimes it's the Stars themselves that hold them back for any number of reasons. Think back to all of the wonderful black singers who were huge Stars from Etta James at Aretha Franklin to Dionne Warwick and from Lena Horne to Billie Holiday. A lot of it has to do with the material they are given. Dionne Warwick is a great representative of that because she was chosen by Burt Bacharach who is a white Rider you could have chosen anyone to sing his vast portfolio of incredible lyrics but he made Warwick into a star. Becoming a success in any area of show business is simply not an easy thing and it takes a little and a whole lot of luck and anyone who's ever made it will tell you that.
This song has inspired me to go back to my hometown again.😢 God has shown me that my life is not over yet because he definitely has a plan for me if I just hang on to his love, mercy, and grace.❤ Queenbee 😢 Still Learning 😌
Stephanie Mills is an ICON! Like Aretha, Patti, Luther, Gladys, and sooo many others, you readily and immediately know their voices and vocal stylings when you hear their songs. Stephanie Mills is in that league of musical artist. If one isn’t familiar with her magical voice, upon first hearing her, one stops and pausing, saying and thinking “who is that?!?!” Yes, Stephanie is A gift from God. Her voice and vocal definition cannot be duplicated--she’s in that company of singers that’s entitled: The Real Deal. That group can’t be touched, replicated or duplicated. They are organic! They came into this plain to share their vocal talents w/us.
I was deployed to desert storm in 90/91 and this song carried me through so many tough times. Even to this day I cherish the song, the lyrics, the message, Stephanie Mills is so awesome.
Yep.......I totally agree! Her voice sends chill and I m a strong blackman!!!! Her voice touches your heart! Heartfelt!!!!!!! Especially when she held that long note! Power!
Thank you Stephanie. We are the future. And the future is here today !!!!!! Thank you so much. I woke up with your "Never Knew Love Like This" going through my mind so I brought it up and listened to it more throughout my morning now. Then I wanted to see your images and found your video comments about MJ. Thank you honey for being God's love in this world that will now be reborn. Because you live it. This morning is the first time I ever saw photos of you and now you singing. What a lovely woman you are in every way ! I love you Stephanie and thank you again for being 100% love !!!
My father took me and my brothers to see The Wiz many many years ago. She was Dorothy and that girl shook the whole theater with that voice. What a powerhouse,then and always !!!!
I was blessed to see the original Wiz production with Stephanie. NO ONE can touch Stephanie with these songs. I love Diana, but she just didn't cut in the movie version.
Whewwww... Sang It Stephanie, please sing our song!!! Whewww... Lady still giving me chills after all of these years!!! You ate still a Queen to Me!!! 🥂💯🙏🏾❤👑
+Lauren Walker I believe it . I saw her sing this song live at the Reges and Kathy Lee show. She was holding Reges hand as she sang this and she was standing very close to hm. After she finished singing the song Reges told the audience that they have no idea how powerful it sounds to be standing so close to someone with that vocal power as they sing a song.
I first heard this song when I was at the original broadway production of the WIZZ. This song listening to Stephanie sing it bring tears to my eyes and still does to this day. Nobody sings it like she can❤❤❤💯
Stephanie Mills is my baby, I just love her energy! She sing like no other, she's in a class of her own, one of the best female singer's in the world! Keep on doing what you do baby, they can't touch you
Just because a person is not recognized by mere mortals for his/her GOD's given talent does NOT lessen that talent one iota. Stephanie not only should be recognized but whether she will be or not she is still the powerhouse she has been and always will be.
I agree to "ALL" those that feel and believe she is a great performer. I am a grown man and I still cry when I hear her sing this song. She sang this song with ALL her heart and soul. God blessed her with a voice like no other
Don't ever underestimate a black Beautiful petite woman!!! She got strong winds in her pipes!!!! Stephanie Has not received the awards she was and is due!!! Her voice is so rare and special! She's a beautiful woman and can BLOW!!!!! Anyone feeling this groove in 2022 right NOW!! R&B IS THE HIT!!!!!! DONT GET IT TWISTED!!!!! LOVE YOU MY BLACK SISTER!!❤❤❤🚀🚀🚀
I see this song delivery by the iconic diva Miss Stephanie Mills is fill with sheer authentic emotion. This song was at a time during the Aids crisis and Crack and opioids epidemic in the United States and around the world. The tragedies of losing when's the loved ones co-workers Etc. I remember crying my eyes out this song was and still is a symbol of love deep within those caring for people that touched Our Lives I even some who hadn't touched Our Lives. The survivors will understand exactly what I'm talking about 30 years later and still here by the grace of God. Family relationship tested and restored . This song is a national treasure in my eyes. Ms. Stephanie Mills signature song. Lena Horne Stone the song in The Wiz she did a great job. I love Miss Mill version the most. Classy and elegant both ladies legendary songtresses.
WHO IS STILL HERE FOR THIS SONG IN 2024.🥰🥰🥰🥰
Every day, all day..the best music ever
I'm here 2024 I truly ❤️ Stephanie

Stephanie Mills is so underrated. She definitely gave Whitney & Pati a run the money
Her voice is special
Hands down
Stephanie Mills is one of the greatest vocalist ever. She was before the late great Whitney Houston. Here Í honor Ms. Stephanie Mills. Thank you for all the great work

My Grandmom always had her tape playing in the house
"I can hear my friends telling me, Stephanie, please sing my soooong!' Whew! this will forever be my favorite line in this song! The power & energy in her vocals-amazing!
this lady sang the hell out of this song. pure example of sangin
She is doing a free concert in Alabama right now. What a beautiful blessing
The dress she’s wearing here is so stunning. The way it sparkles in the light is mesmerizing. Like I could see someone wearing that even today.
My exact thoughts!
When I was little in 92, I was like 7 years old at the time. And I wanted this dress the first time I saw this video. I still do ❤❤
Hearing Stephanie Mills sing Home is giving me the chills! She is one of music's greatest female voices to come before Whitney Houston, Anita Baker, Toni Braxton, Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Rihanna, and Mary J. Blige!
Yes! I’m STILL enthralled by this song!
Yes, you better believe it. She's the uno uno #1

Renee Ross I so agree...
Renee Ross Me too. You got that right. Dionne Warwick, Stephanie and a few more needs to be honored. Quiite frankly some of the ones they have honored don't have many nor major hits!!!
Sadly she doesn’t have that HOUSEHOLD NAME. She has a name for sure we love and adore her but her name doesn’t speak volumes to the younger generation
OK???? RIGHT!!!
When I was strung out on drugs in the streets I wanted out so bad I wanted to go home but was trapped in something I could not escape. I would play this song longing to go back home..
God heard my cry and set me free from drugs. I now know that the home I was longing for back then was not My earthly home but my home in God kingdom. I love this song it speaks spiritual things to me
Thank you Jesus!
There is no God 🙄
Great testimony!!
Thank God for your recovery and that you finally found your home in Christ❤
Thank God you escaped that habit. And yes this song so inspiring
This woman don't get the FULL RESPECT she deserves 👏 🔥🔥
At All.. because she don't play the game.
Powerfully voice energy unbelievable Frances
True
got to see her in concert this spring....she's still go it.
She is the best example of being great but yet still underrated and under appreciated.
This song got me through the Gulf War. I would play it every night and pray for me and my buddies. Thankfully, the prayers were answered for most of us
I'm so glad you made it. Thank you for your service 🙏🏿

Thank you Stephanie. We are the future. And the future is here today !!!!!! Thank you so much. I woke up with your "Never Knew Love Like This" going through my mind so I brought it up and listened to it more throughout my morning now. Then I wanted to see your images and found your video comments about MJ. Thank you honey for being God's love in this world that will now be reborn. Because you live it. This morning is the first time I ever saw photos of you and now you singing. What a lovely woman you are in every way ! I love you Stephanie and thank you again for being 100% love !!!
The BEST EVER !!! It never fails to take me back to my childhood days,my home where material things were limited but LOVE ABOUND.
No one can sing this song better than Stephanie Mills!
Technically yes, but no one can sing it more passionately than Diana Ross
Absolutely, the best technically AND passionately!!!
@@FreedomFighter2112 So True about both Ladies.
Absolutely no one.
Jazmine Sullivan tore this joint to pieces at like 11 too
My father took me and my brothers to see The Wiz many many years ago. She was Dorothy and that girl shook the whole theater with that voice. What a powerhouse,then and always !!!!
I was blessed to see her in 1978. Amazing performance.
OMG you're blessed 2 have witnessed the original💞🎶💚🎶💙
I was blessed to see the original Wiz production with Stephanie. NO ONE can touch Stephanie with these songs. I love Diana, but she just didn't cut in the movie version.
Yes!!! glad I was there. 😍
In my day Stephanie's in a class by herself
This woman's voice transcended reality -- and her song Home is of "heaven and earth". When you feel it in your bones -- you know its gospel.
Whewwww... Sang It Stephanie, please sing our song!!! Whewww... Lady still giving me chills after all of these years!!! You ate still a Queen to Me!!! 🥂💯🙏🏾❤👑

Bryan Hartsuck hi you are sooooo9 right about this man we have to do something . andlet out there's all of us .

Gotdamn that lady can 🎤 sing. Her voice is so unique.
one of a kind!
my mother says she sounds just like her album live.
+Lauren Walker I believe it . I saw her sing this song live at the Reges and Kathy Lee show. She was holding Reges hand as she sang this and she was standing very close to hm. After she finished singing the song Reges told the audience that they have no idea how powerful it sounds to be standing so close to someone with that vocal power as they sing a song.
Orlando Cruz I can just imagine.
+Orlando Cruz You got that right!
In 2024 my girl still has an awesome voice ❤❤❤
I first heard this song when I was at the original broadway production of the WIZZ. This song listening to Stephanie sing it bring tears to my eyes and still does to this day. Nobody sings it like she can❤❤❤💯

Stephanie Mills is my baby, I just love her energy! She sing like no other, she's in a class of her own, one of the best female singer's in the world! Keep on doing what you do baby, they can't touch you
There is only one word for her performance, HISTORICAL!!! 👑
Just because a person is not recognized by mere mortals for his/her GOD's given talent does NOT lessen that talent one iota. Stephanie not only should be recognized but whether she will be or not she is still the powerhouse she has been and always will be.
Love all Stephanie Mills songs ❤️ #LEGEND

I love Ms. Mills respect goes out to her...Always overlooked and under-rated
This song should be consider a National Treasure. Seriously.
Holy crap I was thinking the same!!!

An International treasure as is any home!
I see this song delivery by the iconic diva Miss Stephanie Mills is fill with sheer authentic emotion.
This song was at a time during the Aids crisis and Crack and opioids epidemic in the United States and around the world.
The tragedies of losing when's the loved ones co-workers Etc.
I remember crying my eyes out this song was and still is a symbol of love deep within those caring for people that touched Our Lives I even some who hadn't touched Our Lives.
The survivors will understand exactly what I'm talking about 30 years later and still here by the grace of God. Family relationship tested and restored .
This song is a national treasure in my eyes.
Ms. Stephanie Mills signature song.
Lena Horne Stone the song in The Wiz she did a great job.
I love Miss Mill version the most.
Classy and elegant both ladies legendary songtresses.
