I was born and raised in Detroit and I'm still here to this very day. Unfortunately people on the outside only hear of the negative things about our city, but these young people just showed the world the love and greatness that we have to offer. I've been following them for awhile now and they only get better every time they perform. You did an incredible job on AGT and Detroit Loves you😍🥰❤❤❤THANK YOU!!!

I never really paid much attention to the city because of the bad publicity, but seeing it now it reminds me of Milwaukee, where I’m from across the pond. As I was watching, I was thinking it looked like a really nice city, and that I should visit.

I love how they’re on the original bus Rosa Parks was on and at the African American museum. They hit some Detroit historical places.

I truly believe that people of color (African descent) were gifted from ancestries to be great movers to rhythms, great creators of music, and of course wonderfully gifted in singing ALL KINDS OF MUSIC CREATIONS. That is why so many who are not BLACK or do not want to identify as BLACK...take from BLACKS and their NATURAL talents to get them SOME!!!.. And sadly so, many do not want to accept their heritage until it has 'VALUE OF SOME KIND' for them...otherwise, they ride the so-called 'WHITE TRAIN' until they rode enough and the same people who steal, criticize, demoralized BLACK people; then when trouble arises; they remember what people are theirs and they seek their respect, love, and support.

I was a teenager in Detroit when this song was huge. I don't live in Detroit today. This brings back the memories of those days when we were one nation under the groove. I wish detroiters the absolute best outcome. 👍👏💃🌞🎉

Beautiful, Just Beautiful, Our Young People!!!

I'm a Detroit native with children this age and it is a lot of these positive, energetic youngsters involved in projects like this. If not for KZread I wonder if we would've ever seen this.

Reminiscent of a time when you could go to a party without worrying about getting shot... Roll and Bouncing at the Skate Rink... When we truly were one “Nation”... Praying for the nostalgic return of times gone bye...

Ed S. Wouldn’t be white if evil and deception wasn’t involved. That’s the vile white race’s motto.

The youth are the future. Good to see our youth being taught that cooperation leads to accomplishments, which leads to self worth, which leads to success

Great to see the Funk legacy being taken up by a new generation. Uplifting!

I stumbled upon this. And this is why I love KZread.

Take no note of the haters!!!

AS AN AVID music lover, and historian on AFRICAN American culture & music genres in particular, THIS whole video IS AMAZING!!! It brings about a soulful connection between the elder's 70's funk sound & swag mixed in with the new 2020 young generation's swag! The adorable uniforms, the sweet and adorable, yet sassy voices that were hitting EVERY KEY, their lil dances and indvidual facial expressions and signature moves were spot on Makes you feel like youre at a black family reunion with your lil cousins performing for the elders /but also at a George clinton concert getting your groove on with the elders lol! The instruments fantastic/ the videography on point With the recent reports about the bleek outlook concerning Detroit.....yet the Magnificent & HISTORICAL importance that DETROIT (Motown) has played in the birthing and production of a new wave/sound concering African American/Black music in the 50's/60's that brought up many many ground breaking artist & musicians, a good amount of whom became Hall Of Fame-A-list Celeberities and other forms of significant players in this walk of life makes this Video that much more LOVEABLE! A nostalgical moment mixed in with HOPE & what seems to be a possible BRIGHT future for Detroit!! The Great George Clinton Im sure is VERY PROUD! Keep THRIVING Beautiful BABIES, cause Nothing CAN STOP YOU NOW!!

AALIYAH in 1994: Young Nation under a groove keeping it smooth with a jazz attitude. This is so amazing to see these young black kids singing funk/jazz/soul and not cRAP....thank you to everyone involved.

I am loving these kids!!!!!! They represented themselves very well. They made me cry tears of joy. We need joy here in Detroit right now.
