Been listening to this Jam from 1994 to 2024 and still will on years to come.

Jody when you recorded this song it was ahead of it's time and I thank you for being bold enough to record AND release it as a single. This got good airplay in Atlanta and this groove is so DOPE. Timeless song Jody.

One reason she is amongst my TOP FOUR favorite artist ever is her evolution. She Doesnt stay in any safe lanes. While many of her later songs were not commercial...that is a GOOD THING. That means she stayed true to self. And thats why her artistry has touched me the way it has. I like this version but also the remix on the greatest hits.

It was always the little girl’s choreography for me! Yasssss! Wonder where those girls are now. Hopefully their life turned out well✨

This song was a powerful for 1994.

THE LYRICS ARE GOLDEN

This track was well before it's time but I appreciate her keeping it real & rearing everything back to reality at that time in the early '90's

What a great song and video. Jody Watley is absolutely the best 😊. Greetings from Poland

Oh how I miss the 90’s.

Great point. The fact the Jody decided to record this song with a New Jack Swing was very innovative. Especially when New Jack Swing was on it's last legs. This song was very innovative and empowering. In fact Jody said that it her daughter was the inspiration for this song. She said that one day her daughter was watching videos and asked mommy why do women be showing their behinds in videos? Jody wrote that song shortly afterwards

I was with a woman. She appreciated everything I did for her. I really felt the emotion she had for me. I never had to ask her to return the appreciation for the things I did for her. It came from her naturally. I always think of her when I hear this jam. A man should treat a woman well. It's just hard to find someone who truly appreciates.

This song is a about love respect responsibility Commetment Understanding Caring & Discipline.& Sharing.

I love Jody Watley… One of my all time favorite artist… One of my favorite songs ❤️🔥🔥🔥

Love the spoken word aspect of this!!!

I thought about this song today and forgot how good the video was. This version is more of a poem, but I still love it!

👑✊🔥🎩 Queen "This song STILL resonates Timeless Wisdom. Many Lost & Turned Out. This needs to be played constant rotation for both women and men. Icon N Iconic song.

This song is smooth...needs to be re-issued! Even with the "New Jack Swing" beat. :-)

Its amazing how time goes by and you forget about so many womderful hits. I had totally forgot about this one until someone posted it on Facebook. I remember loving this video and Jodys message in it. I haven't seen this video since 1993 and as I watched it, i could still recite her spoken word along with her. She had the short hair cut and was in great shape, showing off her abs and mid section.... Boy, where did the time go!!!

The message was awesome, realistic!!! Plus, that baseline; unforgettable!!!!!

I gave this song to my son's 3rd baby mom. She blessed me with 2 grandsons. I don't know how they're doing. She didn't listen to the words.

this song is a timeless piece of art

This song didn"t get enough play

One of the best albums I've ever purchased...thanks Jody!

One of my many favourite songs from the "Intimacy" album! The lyrics will always be relevent. The music sounds as fresh as the day it was released. A song and vocal performance I give 10s across the board!

To mention AIDS in her music w/the black community was silent on so many front on the subject ....QUEEN way ahead of her time. Love her short hair and she was deliciously skinny in this too!!!!!!

Damn girl...brings back memories

I love this version but the thing that I thought kicked a** about this song was that the remixes included a version Jody recorded called "When A Man Loves A Man" - almost identical lyrics but about gay relationships instead of straight. Both versions are poignant. Props and much love for having the courage to record both versions so many years ago when it was still taboo to even suggest gay marriage. Thank you, Jody. :)

What I would give to be 13 years and hear this track again. Might I also add how I am here for all of the positivity saturating this video. A couple truly in love with one another, no fighting or bickering among the females and our beautiful black girls are shown in a positive light. I miss those days man!!!!!!

She looks like Angela Basset in Waiting to Exhale. It's the short hair.

Touching and funky at the same time!!

Jody I’ve been a big fan of yours from the getgo. Always loved you and your music! Some youtubers are checking your music now! I fondly remember when this track came out! Soo smooth. Loved it!

I have seen her as a dancer in Wichita then her she comes with a strong solo career. This one is one of her best. I said one of gams😊. I like the new song as well😊

This is a beautiful song and I do agree with the artist of the song and it is one of my favorite songs. There is nothing wrong with telling a man how you expect to be treated.

This whole project was before it's time......Amazing LP/CD...

and the truth shall set you free...there is no other way to describe this track. All Heart and soul to this DEEP and AFFECTION track. Dont make songs like this anymore

This was one of her last solo hits but it delivered the best message and by far the funkiest beat!

When I first saw this video... I was shocked that Jody cut her hair!!! But you know, it is a part of her style and she still looks beautiful in this video.. Today, I have a similar hair cut to Jody's ...lol .. I love this song .. I especially love the words and the beat is kicking... Preach it Jody!!! When a man loves a woman....

I love it! Such a powerful message

I guest the thumb down came from the coward who beat their woman huh

Tell it girl! not too many men who love anymore!!! too many distractions and their just not diciplined!!!

Will always be a favorite of mine thank you!

This predates Michelle Ndeocello doing this type of flow, Jody was before her time on a lot of styles

u will never know how much i love this song when i think of being raise by single mom .......

@kbw1970 Jody made a wise business move in the 90s and started her own independent record label (Avitone) where she has complete control on both sides (as an artist and entrepreneur). Her record sales now don't have to be in the millions because the majority of the money isn't going to pay lawyers, executives and accountants...she can sell in the range of 100K and make just as much as an artist who sells 1 million copies of one CD.

I love her!💖💕💞

When a man loves a woman They say she could do no wrong When a man loves a woman Her nights will never be long When a man loves a woman He makes love with pure intensity And if she wants He?ll do what you do When a man loves a woman He?s not afraid of his vulnerability When a man loves a woman He loves their intertwining sexuality When a man loves a woman He might let her see him cry And he?ll never risk losing her By telling some stupid lie (Men?) He won?t do you wrong (Men?) He?ll love you long (Men?) (Men?) When a man loves a woman He might fly her to a night in Rome This could happen Though, never leaving home When a man loves a woman Yeah, he?ll do most anything And with his presence A smile he?ll surely bring When a man loves a woman He won?t hesitate to put her first He?ll satisfy her desires And quench her every thirst When a man loves a woman He?s gonna be true And he won?t forget to tell her ?Baby, I love you? (Men?) Love will bring you home (Men?) Love won?t let you roam (Men?) (Men?) When a man loves a woman He?ll be responsible for his kids And if he walks away Hmm, he never did When a man loves a woman He?ll rub her back and maybe kiss her feet And with this A finer man you?ll never meet When a man loves a woman He?ll take his time when he shows her love And she?ll enjoy the fit Feels like a glove When a man loves a woman She can do no wrong He understands her attitudes And deals with her moods (Men?) He?s so into you (Men?) You know he?s true (Men?) (Men?) When a man loves a woman It?s a beautiful thing It could melt your soul And make a heart sing When a man loves a woman He knows the reality of AIDS He won?t bring it home to you By some other love he?s made When a man loves a woman He?ll respect you in front of his friends He won?t front you off You know he?ll think again When a man loves a woman He knows you?re complex And knows it takes more to make you happy Than just giving you sex When a man loves a woman He?ll never raise his fist He?ll know it doesn?t make him more a man To do this When a man loves a woman You?ll surely know And it?s as special As an April snow (Men?) He won?t do you wrong (Men?) He?ll love you long (Men?) (Men?) (Men?) Love will bring you home (Men?) Love won?t let you roam (Men?) (Men?)

As far as I know this was the first song that actually made a reference to AIDS and relationships. Many other songs kinda skipped around the subject. Stan.

AWESOME!

Nice song loving this one like the rest of her music it's a game changer in the early nineties

This song was very appropriate at the time and said much about relationships and people and peace!!! Stan.

Love this tune. This is the best version ❤

Classy.

1 0f my all time favs

+WHEN A KING LOVES A REAL QUEEN+!!!!!!!!.-NO BOY LOVE A GIRL-

Awesome❤

Holy be Jesus, this groove is so transcendal to the IT factor for that connection to BE. That ever so smooth beat🎶 just hits you in the soul👯‍♂️🫶🏽✨️🫶🏿👯‍♂️🔆🌛💃🏽🕺🏾💃🏽🪄💎❤️💯

Idk WTH made me think of dis song... I honestly 4got about it 💯

good song!

@stanleyballard I've never heard any songs she had out in 2006, that's why I have always considered this one her last major hit. Good thing she was still handling her business that late though.

YES

Oh Yeah!

Even more important now then ever!!! Stan.

FEB 7 2018 &2:52pmEastCoast! May GOD's Peace be unto your House! I'm ashamed to be called a Man!

That Jada Pinkett Smith vibe

Adblock keeps me from feeling any guilt because I never see even a small portion of the ad :)

TODAY this would be called "when a man loves a man"

Well it depends on the caliber of the person you are dealing with. Unfortunately youngsters think its alright to put that on record. The West coast is very responsible for that moniker in music. I think we should reducate the west coast on Black History. Since they seem to be very short on our struggles and stance.

Oh yeah...I LOVE MY WIFE!!!

This song was controversial when it came out.

wonderful song

Like the video

@VIEREMIX Disagree because this song and message was too strong and non commercial from that time. I mean listen to the lyrics, AIDS, womes empowerment, addressing domestic violence and self respect was and will never be Top 40. The on slaught of rumpshaking new jack swing and misoginy in the 90s was on the rise.I believe Jody made a conscious decision to keep it real stay true to herself and leave the commercial pop behind for her reasons. Loved the video and message then and now.

One of 2PACS GIRLS

how i miss the 80's+early 90's hip hop vids (although i wouldn't really classify this tune as hip-hop). They aspired to racial equality, had an innocence about them, and felt positive. also, the dances and clothing were refreshing.

nice tune not heard before

In 1995 she released her album Affection on her own label. The following year, she reunited with Jefferey and Howard to join Babyface and LL Cool J for their cover of For The Lover In You. She then signed with Atlantic Records and recorded her album Flower which was only released in Japan due to executive changes at the label. She then reformed her label and been releasing music on her own ever since. Her 2006 album was Virgin Mega store's # 1 selling summer album of 2006

Thank

Sad to say now this song would be called When a n----a loves a b---h.

Nice eyebrows

@kbw1970 This was not one of her last hits...this came from her last CD while working on MCA...before she started her own label in the 90s. Her last hit was off of the 2006 "The Makeover" CD...one of the songs was the remake of "I Want Your Love" and "Borderline".

Can't forget the sequel. "When a woman loves a man!"

Yes! But it's been years since I've heard it. I thought this song was dope.

if the video wouldve been better prodcued then the song may have went to the top 5 on the r&b charts which wouldve help it crossover a little more on the pop charts because the song alone is extremely hot. The nice parts of the video is having her family in it, the facial closeup, and when shes poses against the fence

agreed

I love my W but she left me 20/20 = broken hearted is there anybody out there 4 me...

Percy Sledge and Michael Bolton covered this song but Jody Watley did When A Man Loves A Woman differentially I mean differently

Is that Bryce Wilson from Groove Theory? If it's not then it could be his clone!

This one is good but the Prince B remix is better.

#grease

Why does jody look like angela bassett in this video like she never aged?

but it's 2013 now-still too strong for all the s^$@% that's played on the radio?

Who is the brutha with the dreds?

Jacqueline Longman i think she just took the wig off....

I dont remember this song growing up. Not a fan of it nor her short hair.😢
