I love how humble she is. May she have everything that’s good happen to her.

I was crazy about Alisha. After I purchased the Alisha album, I couldn’t stop playing Too Turned on. I bought a record player just for that record.

Blasted her songs while cruising up and down 86th street in Bensonhurst Brooklyn...the best memories....Thank you Alisha

I discovered Alisha in 1991 when I found the Bounce Back cassette on sale for $1.00 in a remaindered Evrerything's a Dollar store. The proprietor said the cassette had not sold as many as they had hoped and he had bought a bunch of them. I bought it and was AMAZED at the professionalism of it, the incredible phrasing and vocal range (!) of Alisha and the incredible arrangements by Michael Jay. I was especially stunned by her readings of the ballad numbers on the cassette such as You've Really Gotten to Me and I totally love Kiss Me Quick, Wrong Number (crazy lyrics too) and of course the classic Bounce Back. 31 years later I am still playing this and had to buy a cassette player to do so. Alisha, you should have been one of the greatest superstars of your age and Lord only knows why you aren't treated as the brilliant song interpreter you have been by the entire world, but the huge numbers of fans you have writing in this group of comments here should tell you that the quality was totally there. I am now in 2022 a 75 year old university regents professor at U of Arizona and I was never a member of the dance music scene or disco singing but you are one of THE greatest American singers and song interpreters I have ever heard, period. Anybody who listens to the incredible amount of tightness and sheer hard work, the incredible guitar parts and arrangements surrounding your voice knows that Michael Jay saw that quality too and invested a good bit of his soul into that music. And the good news is that the music still exists and will so long as great quality is appreciated. You've really created hours upon hours of enjoyment for me!!

We lived for Alisha. She turned out some burners. We danced ourselves crazy. But we always knew her songs, the hits always sounded like answer songs to songs that had already been hits. She needed better writers & producers. I always wanted so much more for her. I'm glad she's happy. ..and Alisha..YOU are definitely a SOMEBODY in my life & memories of growing up with my friends. Thank you.

Alisha's song "Do You Dream about Me" from the movie "Mannequin" is her best song.

She's Definitely a "Somebody" !!...She's a Milestone to thousands of teens Back then!...A True pioneer to Freestyle Music and an Icon to this genre...

“Too Turned On” remains one of the greatest dance tracks ever recorded.

I was born in 1984 and so I didn’t discover Alisha until early 2000s (shoutout to Tommy Boy’s iconiC Perfect Beats compilations, changed my life). Always loved “All Night Passion” the best. I’ve long wished I could have lived in NYC in the early 80s and gone clubbing at Funhouse and Danceteria and I would picture a wild night out on the bodyrock party scene when I listen to this song. Thank you for creating this awesome video and providing a fascinating biography of this seminal electro underground star. And thank you Alisha for the wonderful JAMS!!

Madonna says Alisha copied her sound but Alisha was a real NYer unlike Madonna. I saw them both in clubs in the 80s and no one ever booed Alisha out of the club. I was there when Madonna was booed off the stage, for not singing live. When Alisha sang there were long lines to get in. Maybe because she actually sang ..live. If anything Madonna copied the NY street sound and street look. Edit: omg I forgot my friend Freddie danced in The Bounce Back video. He was a Club Mtv dancer at the time.

This was really great to watch. Thank you filmmakers. Thank you Alisha for all the great music. I was a DJ in the 80s when All Night Passion, Too Turned On, and Baby Talk came out. Those songs alone, made so many club goers very happy,

Happy to see this little documentary! As someone who listened to 98.7 Kiss FM, 92 KTU, and BLS--and was a DJ at the time--I really liked these records when they were released! "All Night Passion" and "Too Turned On" were my favorites!

Great mini-doc! Alisha released many great dance tracks in the #80s (All Night Passion, Baby Talk, Too Turned On, etc.) - cool freestyle-electro-club sound!

Alisha you definitely are a Somebody! ALL your fans will confirm that! 😍

Love Alisha for ever! I played all her hits when she came out and she always packed the floor! She performed in San Jose at a DISCO and I was right up front singing all the words with her and she came noticed that I knew all the words and she came up to me and grabbed my hand for a brief second. I was the only one she approached and I Love her for that. Such a great memory!! Thank you Alisha for all your music!

Too Turned On and All Night Passion are still great dance songs even to this today.

She had a nice career and has settled into family life beautifully. She did well.

Alisha made some serious classics. You can still fill the floor with All Night Passion and Too Turned On.

First time I heard All night passion, I was hooked! We love you Alisha thanks for the music, you and the production team. I play your music all the time here in China.

The 80s... I want to go back

Alisha appeared at a club I DJ'd at in Seaside Heights, NJ called Changes back in 1986. Of all the singers we ever had there she always drew the biggest crowds. She was so nice as was her father who would be in the booth with me. I like all her songs and use them all, but my favorite is Baby Talk.

Alisha, Thank you for all the great music. I remember hearing All Night Passion and Baby Talk on the radio, 92 WKTU and 90.9 WKRB when I was living in Brooklyn as a kid. I went out right away and bought all the 12 inch singles as they came out, and album. Still have them in my huge collection. I also have the baby Talk 45 rpm in my jukebox. back then in my early teens, I used to go up to Kingsborough Community College on Saturday nights and help at WKRB radio. I used to answer phones and sometimes go on the air with the dj. My first time on the air, the dj had Baby Talk cart tape ready and I introduced it on the air. I was 14 years old and fell in love with the song. I'm still crazy about it today as the dj that I am and always play it as much as possible during a gig or on my pirate radio FM station. Where I live now in Wisconsin, they have no idea of this music and I get phone calls asking who that song is sung by and I tell them. They're blown away that it's from 1985. Great music never dies! Thank you for all the memories.

Love you Alisha! I still have that album tape you sent me 20+ years ago. Thank you for caring about your fans!

Great video.. Alisha.. you are somebody... Chicago still remebers you.. all night passion still bumps 2022.. over here.

I remember her when they play All Night Passion at Club Le Shea in Queens. Wow great to see this interview with her. So many memories.

Awesome. Was wondering what she was doing these days, Alisha we still love you.

Hot 97 New York played most of her hits. Great documentary!

"I'm not cocky" You go girl!

I still have her music on cassette tapes. I love her music. Very nice.

What a beautiful personality I'm so glad to see she wasn't ruined by the business she definitely deserves more notoriety she is a freestyle icon .

Alisha and her producers made some Serious club bangers that still sound as fresh as when they came out

I love you Alisha!! Thank you for the memories!

I’m glad that they did a Documentary on her for real. She deserves to have a Documentary done on her.

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview.

I paid good money for my CD copy of "Night Walkin" and Bounceback is one of my favorite pop albums. Great artist, very under-the-radar

I saw her at a free concert once here on Long Island. It's so funny, she's like SOOOO chill and relaxed, and doesn't come across like a performer at all. Omg those eyes too!! She seems so nice and I wonder how cool it must be for her daughters. Thanks for the fun music!! :)

It's incredible to see these artists, how they've grown and changed since their stars faded.

I saw Alisha perform live at a number of clubs here in NY back in the 1980's. The set would consist of one or two songs usually late but she was a great performer. It was for sure a different time in history and she contributed some of the great songs of the decade which put her in the Freestyle Music Category. It's great to see her doing well.

People like Alisha didn't realize that they were starting trends and setting musical trends for the future

Im 44 yrs old.I yaed to hear you in all the old Chicago mixesWBMX.I livw all your jams All nite passion,Baby Talk for sure.Love You.

It’s just amazing to me how underrated this woman is in the world of pop music, it’s criminal actually.

So humble, chill and charming. What a wonderful lady. And what terrific songs she has given us, with that impassioned voice. "Too Turned On" is one of the greatest dance songs ever--so slinky and dramatic. It completely captures the frisson of falling for someone and being consumed by lust and longing! It is a classic and sounds as fresh today as it did 35+ years ago. Thank you so much, Alisha, for all the treasures you have given us!

She's so sweet and humble.

I remember hearing her on Power 106 fm in L.A. back when I was 11 or 12. I guess it made some type of impression on me because I still remember it fondly. You go girl!

I enjoyed watching this very much. Alisha's songs played a great part in making my teenage years a wonderful time. I'll never forget her and those monster hits she had. Thanks for posting this video.

Bounce Back was a terrific pop record, all the way through. One of those records you can put on and just let play.

Wow great interview i was living in Ft Lauderdale in "85" too turned on was a hit i used to hear that song be played over snd and over. i bought thr cd alisha i still have till this day great song awesome memories!!!

I remember Alisha very well. Boston radio station Kiss 108 and Magic 106 always played her songs. I remember 3 cds from her. The last one I remember was on MCA records Bounce Back. The Bounce Back cd was real good. Some singers really never get their props just like Teena Marie both ladies should have been major stars. Wish you nothing but the best. Alisha. I love all your muaic..

Great interview. You're so down to earth. I have so much respect. I saw you perform a Jenkinson's in Pt. Pleasant, NJ. You were in your teens then. You sang with recorded music to all your hits from your first album. You were really good.

Alisha you're definitely a "somebody" . Your songs , All Night Passion, Baby Talk and Too Turned On, would rank in my top 10 songs of all time.

i love Alisha. So many great memories on the dance floor when I was a teen in the 80s. Great music and dance songs that still sound fantastic. Love to her.

Her music brings back so many great memories! I close my eyes and im there! All night passion, and Too turned on were my all time favorites!! This was when the club scene was hot! Her music got me out on the dance floor and singing at the top of my lungs!! Love her!!! 💕💕💕

She's so humble :))

Glad Alisha is still around. Thanks for sharing your story and music. Enjoyed "All Night Passion" music video filmed at NYC's legendary "The Saint" nightclub in East Village, move it girl. Go Alisha from UWS and Hudson Valley.

Have always loved 'Dream About Me' from the Mannequin film but only recently realised all of her albums are brilliant! Especially love the entire 'Nightwalkin' album and also love 'Baby Talk'. What a fantastic voice and what a lovely down-to-earth lady she is! A definite somebody - Alisha, you are a STAR!!!

Happy Birthday Alisha. I’ve been blasting your music all April and then TODAY realized it was your birthday lol 🥳

Wonderful to see her, hear her story, and see how incredibly humble she is. But she IS a somebody! I am happy I looked her up after watching Mannequin many moons ago, her catalog has a lot of great tracks. I was even lucky enough to find a CD of Bounce Back recently at a record store! Much love to Alisha, and thank you for this fabulous documentary! xo

Always love Stargazing !!!

I am always in love with the song "Stargazing", since i discovered that it was her who sang this when i was a child, i have always loved this song, i was sad that it didn't chart in France.

One of the best 80s high energy dance track of all times. Blessed to be a DJ & mix her tracks all the time. Thank you Alisha for all your smash hits. God bless 🙏!

OMG ALISHA! Bounce Back is one of my favorite songs EVER!!

She's still a really attractive woman! I've always been a huge ALISHA fan! ❤️ Great songs and alot of talent!

I wasn't expecting to see my WKTU poster in this documentary ;)

Alisha was probably one of the best Madonna clones ever.

Alisha is beautiful inside & out!!!

I listened to alisha back in 88, 89. I loved the songs. I just cant imagine her mom and dad being overjoyed listening to her sing those lyrics. I know i didnt sing that in front of my parents. In my firebird, full blast thats another thing 😀 the 80s were still kind of innocent yet!

I still play the BOUNCE BACK album on the regular

Remember Backstreets Alisha?? Ft. Lauderdale Florida...I do! You pulled me up to sing with you on stage....GREAT TIMES! PS. I am still singing.... Whoooo, Hooo!

I discovered her for myself 5 hours ago, she has a magical voice

I'm an Alisha fan myself, and I still love her music!

Just sold Nightwalkin' on eBay for a pretty darn good amount of money...The buyer just emailed me saying she has been enjoying the CD. I had looked up her music because I was so surprised her album was so valuable. Awesome to hear the story about her rise to stardom. It's rare that an album appreciates it's value!

Great documentary. Baby talk is such a great song, still today. One of a kind.

Love her music!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! Thank you!

She’s a dam good singer I remember her when I lived in New York as a teenager

Bravo! Another award winning documentary from ZLF. Another feather in your cap, Zac!

This is a favorite for me. I listen to Nightwalkin' on my daily commute and Alisha's vocals to be that young are amazing. Super talented girl

This was awesome!! SHe's so humble.

Alisha wasn't "pop", even if she had 1 or 2 pop songs, like, from "Mannequin" ...Her music was more Italo-disco, freestyle-dance, and not as mainstream sounding and appealing as a Madonna, or a Tiffany, and her voice, although great sounding for 80s pop, had more potential ..and she had an urban, underground audience, like those of us who listened to old school house music (I'm an 80s, Chicago house-head) ...Madonna's songs were never played in house mixes, but her (Alisha's) songs were

Love how she is just a regular New yorka now and not all big headed. How cool.

Greatest songs ever!!!! You are a Superstar!!!

I loved to see you live in 1985/6 ! I have everything you've you done!

Wow. They don't come anymore down to earth! ❤️

Alisha ,you are somebody ,you are a great singer ,my favorite from you is all night passion, it's a great dance song ,and I use that song at my parties ,and if I'm not mistaken ,that song was used in the dance clubs in the late 80's

I'm not from the Americas but I definitely registered Alisha back in the 80's. Baby Talk was my number one dance track and I went trough all the tracks on the Stargazing tape. I was playing it so much it got destroyed.

ALISHA! An 80’s icon and freestyle diva! ❤

Love Alisha! Baby Talk, Too Turned On and All Night Passion on a hot summer day in the 80s!!! Love her Brooklyn accent. I’m a Brooklyn boy too.

I really learned a lot of things that I didn’t know about Alisha. Very interesting and the that she is a humble person.

What an amazing singer👍❤ she got old so beautifuly❤ Love you Alisha ❤

aLISHA IS A Goddess. thank you so much for such beautiful music. God bless you!

First ever I went to a club in SF called “city nights” and saw Alisha, was a highlight of my teen! She was so good! I can still remember even now.

I went to South Shire at the same time. I knew her sister, so I’m told. But she really seems to have evolved into such a nice, humble woman. God Bless!

Omg. I love Alisha's albums. ❤️. I met her when she was on tour in the 80s

I love her music!!! Dance, Dance!

Should have been bigger than Hagdonna.

Nice ... Thanks for this post !! I use to rollerskate to her music way back in the day .. Then in the 90's had a chance to work with her at a event at the club I worked at !!

Great doc. Love her humility.

92KTU was my favorite station back then.

thanks 5am
