@@SuperTaleba exactly! They were minors so it wasnt the kids faults it was the parents, theres a reason why these labels target minority groups in certain neighborhoods, because they know that they’re desperate for money and a better life, so they offer them a contract which offers them money but in reality it comes back to them at the end, thiis whats called a 360 deal, that is how they operate which is exactly why no matter what anyone says unless it written on a legally binding contract, it dont mean shit!

The story of some of the members of this band is sad, Musical Youth is THE example of what child labor can do to people later in their lives, and of how stardom at a young age can ruin people.

Loved the Jackson 5 but these were my era I was 11 when these were out and I was starting to listen to ska and reggie and these came along and they were kids like me I loved them.
When we talk about certain music being so far ahead of it's time then Musical Youth are one of them to mention because if they came out any time from the 1990's onwards to this day as U C they'd be as big as U can imagine
We haven’t lost the drummer. We’ve lost the bass player, Patrick Waite. He died at the age of 24. But the drummer was his brother. Junior had lost his mind and from what I heard, he’s currently in a mental home somewhere in Birmingham.
We just lost the drummer yesterday. RIP Patrick and Junior. Edit: Apparently Junior (the drummer) passed away in July, but the news of his death came out 2 days ago. Either way, RIP 😢
Nah only Patrick Waite died, he is the one in red in this video. Patrick and Freddie Waite were brothers and Michael Grant and Kelvin Grant are both brother too, the oldest is Dennis Seaton. Kelvin who was the vocalist here and the youngest and he is Michael's Grant's younger brother and he is very well and alive and he is my Facebook friend and has his own band. Born in Birmingham but lives both in England and Jamaica. And the moment is only Dennis Seaton and Michael Grant that are running the band and Freddie Waite is doing his own thing and also an actor,Google him.
I am sure this was from the cannon and ball show I was in the same episode in a restaurant scene episode 5 season 6 But it was January 14th 1984 lol xx
I think this version was a re-recorded version used specifically for some shows. This performance was on “Cannon & Ball”, and this recording was also used in the “Royal Variety” show.
This song just came to my mind who’s here 2023 and used to sing this back in the day ❤
It's a shame that these young talented boys were exploited and never really got what they deserved by their producers and managers.
Welcome to the music business, this why you have to READ the contract you are signing

So if Kelvin was born in 1971... he was definitely twelve-going-on thirteen in this.

A bit different from the studio version but still catchy and joyous as ever. Whatever happened to these guys and where are they now?
I think this version was a re-recorded version used specifically for some shows. This performance was on “Cannon & Ball”, and this recording was also used in the “Royal Variety” show.
