Stokley's voice on that part reminds me of an airplane ascending into the sky. I know that sounds weird. I just love that part of the song and when he sings "thiiiis feeling is the one thing" OMG!!!! Gives me chills
This was my favorite mint song. The chords and melody hit me in a special way. Thanks to Keri.

Was one of my favorites but "So Fine" will always be one of the top Mint Condition song for me Man between the dynamics, Stokely's vocals and the guitar work and the interplay between the two, which definitely blew me away, I used to sit there and get lost in that song over and over

HANDS DOWN THIS IS THE SONG THAT DID IT FOR ME. THE IS THE SONG THAT MADE ME A MINT CONDITION FAN. “FROM THE MINT FACTORY” WAS THE FIRST CD I EVER BOUGHT. KERI, THANK U GUYS.
He’s so smooth and intelligent. I see why Toni fell for him 🥰
*This* is a breakdown of why Mint Condition and you have been such an inspiration. Really a beautiful and indelible mark on MUSIC as a whole. Timeless, versatile, boundlessly authentic and expressive.
Mint is the last r&b band... so glad I got to meet them on 2016/2017 new years weekend.

U SEND ME SWANGIN' IS ONE OF THE GREATEST BALLADS OF ALLLLLLLL TIIIIIIIIIME!!!!!!!!! JUST AS GOOD AS BREAKIN' MY HEART AKA PRETTY BROWN EYES.....KERI IS FIRE ON KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!
I have had this song on repeat for 4 days straight! Definitely my favorite Mint Condition tune. We really miss you guys. My 3 young nephews are also crazy about this song. Thanks Keri for sharing this.
There is always that one song that brings that nostalgic feeling that takes you back to your childhood. For me it's this song! Everytime I hear this song I'm in middle school again, harmonizing with my cousin in the court yard trying to do this song justice with our little 12 yr old 2 part harmony 😂 We did alright tho! 😊
Best 90’s Band Ever 👍🏾
One of my all time favorite jams💖 Stockley's voice was made for this song.
I could listen to this young man all night long. I love all the history he tells us.❤ I love the song too!!! Great job!!!❤
Beautiful song Keri. Stokley bought it to life with that beautiful voice. Thank you guys for life for being one of my all time favorite bands. 🧡💛🧡
Love this song. It struck a chord with me that not many songs could
I'm so mad I didn't grow up in that era. Instead I was born right after y'all got signed. I was born in March of 1990. But I'm also so mad that y'all haven't gotten more recognition. You guys music always gives me chills and speaks to my soul. It moves me! The fact that you guys are actual musicians still is mind blowing........ God made you guys a band on purpose. I'm grateful for y'all. Period. Lol my daddy is y'all's age I believe. So of course he's the one that got me hip...... But the 90's in general was just an era that's unforgettable that I just can't seem to let go of!😩 My son even love y'all's music. He's only 9...... Anyway...... Love and Blessings to anyone who reads this. Sincerely, "A woman who wishes she had a time machine"😂
Still rock in this song in 2024. This is a great song that has staying power.
WOW 🤩 This was awesome to learn how the song come to life!! I can only imagine having Stevie walk in the room singing my song !!!🤩This is definitely epic to me!!! #Mintcondition 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The chords alone make me want to cry😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 AMAZING THANKYOU 💜y’all have to do “So fine” next😫✨

This is one of my favorite songs! I was in 5th grade when it came out & I sang this accapella in music class for a project. I sounded NOTHING like Stokley because I was so nervous but this joint STILL goes hard so many years later!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
When Keri Left, Mint Condition lost their sound. Keri was the integral piece for their commercial success
They had some of the best intros. They knew how to draw you into the song. Love them ♥️✨. You can hear their influences so much in their music.
Love this song 🥺😍
THANK YOU!!!❤ so so so talented as a young man
It would be awesome if Mint Condition could reunite and do a tour with KERI LEWIS and CHRIS "DADDY" DAVE! Make it happen ya'll!😀
Stokley always snappin 😮❤❤
Hands down the best Boy Band around!! All love!!
Chill bumps just thinking about this joint. Pure Magic. I can't believe they've never gone Platinum. It's literally criminal. "The Heat" By TB and Keri was sonically innovative.
This Brother is super gifted. And cool too! 💪🏾
The thing I really love about this song is the chord progressions combined with the vocal. Oh and Sam Cooke and Stevie are my all time favourites
90s were a crazy time, gangster rap and lots of raunchy stuff going on. Mint condition was a great balance ❤ they were and are cream of the crop. Thankful to be able to experience this era that was just about the last to do it. Authentic and mucho talent
that intro is amazing
Best R&B song of all time. This video is perfect!
Greatest Song of All Time.
Great episode Keri. Can’t wait for more
This was incredible. I love hearing about the intricacies of how a song was created and the breakdown of the process. Mint Condition is one of my favorite bands.
Amazing. My favorite Mint Condition song. I love hearing writers and artists tell the stories of how songs came to be. Love it!!!!!

Since October, I have listened to If you Love me and So fine and You send me swinging multiple times everyday!!! Each time I listen, I hear something different! AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGG!!!! Thank you Keri ans MC! I LOVEEEEEEEEE that they are a band first and then add the lyrics. I’m studying them as if I’m a musician. I’m NOT, music 🎶 just hits my SOUL!!!
I love this song. Yeah, that breakdown was lit.
Good video...this was my #1 slow jam of 1994, let alone the 90s! 👍🏿😁🎶🎵
WOWWWW THIS IS TALENT 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow I’ve never heard this song but witnessing artists creativity always stuns me
Bless the 90s Thanks you
My favorite Mint Condition song!!! Love the remix as well!!!! 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Keri you and the entire "MINT CONDITION family are phenomenal ! Could you do a REUNION tour with all of the original members PLEASE?
God bless him!! ❤
I’m glad you’ve created this channel, Keri. #underratedonlybythosewhoDONTknow
Keri thanks for these great videos. Any chance you'll make a breakdown video of the epic synth solo in Mint Condition "On And On"? Asking for a keybaordist friend :)

Been grooving on Mint Condition since the beginning. My favorite band plays real instruments, has killer vocals and a class about them not seen to much then and now. Grateful I got to see you folks once and got a few pics with you all. Please come back and let today's Gen see class and talent. Please for me...a Mint-E for life.
I played this song and album till I broke the cassette tape. Bought every Mint album that ever came out. Even the cassette singles when they had A and B sides with the remixes. Lol
My all time favorite song
This song came out when I was in the 6th or 7th grade, it reminded me of Laura from family matters because I had the biggest crush on her
This takes me back to my senior year in high school...one of my all time favorites a straight classic
I love this song 🎵
Anyone that doesnt know "U Send Me Swingin" is a fkn masterpiece needs to go have several seats.
My favorite band
My favorite song of all time!!!!
(1) My girl Temptations (2) Night and day Al b sure (3) You send me swanging I listen to you send me swanging the most but these three love songs are the best for telling a woman how you really feel about her.
One of my favorite songs still play it .
Separated because you ALL played instruments. Still one of my favs
Incredible!! Please do so fine!!!!! A MASTERPIECE!!!
From the mint factory and DOB intros
The art of musical composition is underrated nowadays. A lot of thought and talent goes into crafting a timeless classic.
This is my favorite Mint Condition song! All of their songs are my favorites.
Awesome...Man what always did it for me with this song in addition to the vocals was the chord progressions..Regarding y’alls intros I loved the intro of What Kind of Man (you on steel drums) and I liked the intro on underrated Change Your Mind..Oh lastly Sam Cooke..the greatest R&B singer ever.. and please do Stevie’s Super Women lol
Keri awesome video!
I was too young to know back then who you were but after hearing stokley in you will know black men united. I looked him up to find that he is singer in a band Mint condition.... wow
Great group
Love me some MINT!!!
Great channel. I really enjoy the breakdown of the songs. You should also do it for the songs you produced on Toni's albums. A lot of underrated gems. Much success for your channel
Isley brothers between the sheets Your song you don't have to hurt no more is one of my favorites you play ausome I wish i could hear you sing more
Great show, Brother Keri! Glenn Lewis' Don't You Forget It needs your breakdown, sir.:)
I really enjoyed this video. This took me back in my 20s. What a fun time for music and dating. I dated a guy that tasted something good in a restaurant and referenced the song, Swinging. When we tasted something good back in the day, we would say it was swinging. Glad you guys had a chance to meet Stevie Wonder. I missed him at a prayer meeting he had with my old Pastor almost 10 years ago. He was going to surprise us and I missed it.
An incredible jam that I constantly rock to this day! Awesome group with incredible timeless music!
This was 🔥. Your delivery is so smooth. I was a kid when Mint Condition came out. MC is my favorite band. Do more videos 🙏🏿
