Very humble and down to earth guy, Haddaway. The face of Eurodance 90s..🙏

guys a living Iegend.

This is possibly the biggest "Euro-Dance" tune of all time. Even people who are not into "Dance" know this song.

Holy shit, he’s super humble and interesting to talk to.

My best friend was in a singing competition with Haddaway (he wasn’t known yet). She won and he got second place. He got a deal of course and the rest is history. In her words, this is what she said: “I don't envy his success while I've given up singing altogether. I like what I do now and good for him on all his success - he deserved it, he was very very nice and lovely man.”

It's nice to hear the stories. I met Haddway years ago in Cologne in the early 90's. I would love to know who was the girl which won the contest.

I am so proud to be from the twin island state of Trinidad and Tobago where this man was born. He was born in Port of Spain, so was I... What Is Love is a great hit song that has transcended and still continues to transcend through generations

My 12 year old son really love this song he wrote the chorus lyrics on my Father’s Day card and I thought it was hilarious and cool lol

Today I live in the Orlando area, but I was born in Cologne, I too lived for nearly 20 years in Washington. I’ve heard the song What is love when it came out in Germany…. For me, one of the most timeless tunes in history,today I’m 57 years old and I’m as excited to this groove as when it came out! Haddaway, we walked almost in sync, only difference, I was born in 66! love you and your tunes!

I'm 40. I've been listening to What is love since it came out. It's the first time I see him in an interview. He's such a cool guy down to earth. Thank you for uploading.

Wow! I can't believe it ‼️ They said "no" to What is Love? I can play this song on loop all day and never get tired of it. I love dancing to it, singing it or maybe just humming this song makes me happy. Really l! A masterpiece of the dance music 🎵!

He is a liar. He never wrote the song. "What Is Love" was written and produced by German music producer and composer Dee Dee Halligan (Dieter Lünstedt a.k.a. Tony Hendrik) and his partner/wife Junior Torello (Karin Hartmann-Eisenblätter a.k.a. Karin van Haaren) of Coconut Records in Hennef (Sieg) near Cologne. They had previously produced songs for successful groups like Bad Boys Blue and Londonbeat, and were waiting for the right singer for their new song. Trinidadian-born singer Nestor Alexander Haddaway was then chosen to sing it.

Great interview. What a decent human being. Hard worker and respects the journey of life.

Defining 90's track

This is amazing, one of the greatest European pop dance records of the 90s, an incredible track - perfection

I love that song when it came out I was maybe 15 16yrs, I still feel the same way I do about it today, I have to sing it when I hear it, it hits me the same

What an unbelievably humble human being.

One correction: Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell started the skit on Saturday Night Live, which guest Jim Carey participated in when he hosted the show. You probably saw that episode due to its popularity. The skit later became the plot line for the movie Night at the Roxbury.

Exacto, el gag viene de la peli Una noche en el Roxbury.

My most most most favourite song of all times. I am listening it since last 25 years. This song is also very famous in Pakistan. One of our famous playback singer Khalid Waheed has also sung it in Urdu language as: "Kia Hai Love", with same dancing music as a tribute to original singer Haddaway. If Haddaway ever came to Pakistan, he would be surprised to see how much fans he has here.

A very nice and pleasant guy. I really enjoyed this episode and I am looking forward to more of those, especially with artists from the dance/club scene from the 70's, 80's and 90's.

In this interview, he was extremely down-to-earth and nice. He’s always so busy. I hope he finds his peace. He must’ve enough money by now to do what he wants.

I grew up with this song in my preteen years

What Is Love had everything in one track.

Haddaway - what is love = my childhood in a audio nutshell, was such an anthem back then and still very much is to this day 🙌

He was my biggest hero since I was 17 years old, uncle Antoine has the 1993 album and I’ve never seen it before

I really enjoyed listening to Haddaway. His views and comments were most interesting. Thank you.

Ive always felt and now heard many say how these awards mean nothing. Its very true. I have won many and I care for none of them. It is the memories :)

What is love is legendary trance dance song And all time hit for trance beat and power of vocal haddaway together 👍🎛️🎧😍

It has nothing to do with trance man.

The 1st piece of music I ever bought with my own money. On cassette no less.

I'm glad he is well and still performing. What Is Love is one of my favorite tracks from the 1990's. I remember hearing it on the radio (back when we all listened to the radio in the car) non-stop.

Listening to him talk about Prince, Tom Petty and other late musicians tells us that he is a true artist. And his maturity talking about keeping healthy and staying fit shows his wisdom. He must be a wonderful man to chat to all night around a dinner table.

The song you're talking about is one of the best disco-dance-pop song of all time.

"What is love " un super éxito a nivel mundial!! Con una buena producción y un sonidazo!! Greetings from Guatemala

What a track though! Goosebumps to this day

Great interview!! Thank you for putting this together. I'm in 50's and been around lots of music growing up in California near Hollywood. The 90's was just something completely different. Great artists and music in the 90's

We may loose our heroes but they will always still be there in the music 🎶 🎵

i love playing this song on my mp3 player back when I was young. Cool to see he is pretty chill.

Tune is timeless even to this day.

Haddaway you’re the man ! I’ve been listening to your music since 1990s back in the Philippines. You are welcome to visit the Philippines!

Love the interview!

Another great one.

he is such a cool and talented guy.

I am now rapidly approaching five zero - only two years to go (and time IS going faster with age!). And this man and his song were MY leap into life back then, in '93. School was behind me, I was of age, my whole new life was still ahead of me. And then this guy came along and asked what love is... The song not only hit like a bomb almost worldwide, but also with me. It wasn't just a song, it really was the start of a new era in so many ways, Euro Dance really exploded after that. And now I'm sitting here today, still feeling that this song is absolutely timeless, thinking about the 30 years that have passed since then and thinking to myself, man, what would it be like if I could go back with the life experience I have today and from that time. Going back to 1993, being 17/ 18 again (i 'm born in mid- june), but knowing a bit about how things work and being able to iron out some of the mistakes you've made... Uh, I hope we really do get another chance, and I hope Haddaway is also there in a new life ^^! Great interview, likeable man, a living legend. May he live long and healthy, and thanks for everything, if you can convey that ;)! PS: Very wise of him not to sell it for lousy 5000 DM, back in the day ;)! These are 2500 € today, and only an average month 's worth wage...

Much love from Nigeria... Thid song is pure art

Great video, really enjoyed watching it!

Great interview!

i just cant get enough of this song.. my no.1 song

Such a nice interview.

Great interview this song will never die.🖒

I was born 3 years after this came out and I hear this some everywhere I go all the time any bar and club, this is a generational song to be played for decades and beyond.. amazing song

Love that song so much was in my 20’s then, I’ll never tire of it ❤️

Wow didn't know he was from Trinidad....... Me too lol never even saw him before. Wonders never cease.

Brought me good memories!!! I still like this music.👏👏👏

I still have all his CDs.....and still love it ❤️

One of my favorite songs in all time and song what i learn on Keyboard with MIDI File.

Awesome interview with a lot of surprizing elements. Very inspiring.
