Finally - I’ve been waiting for you guys to discover this gem!! ❤ One of my all time favorite songs from my favorite female artist!! ✨ So glad y’all loved it!!
I had a huge crush on Belinda in the 80's. The Go-Go's started out as punk rockers, and they tamed their show for mainstream success. Belinda tells the story of how she met her husband. Her band was at a reception in the White House. She had half-shaved, green hair; torn ripped clothes with fishnets and safety pins. Here future husband was a PR guy in the Reagan administration, wearing a three-piece suit. They both knew it was love at first sight. He is the guy in her other video, "Heaven is a Place on Earth". I was at a CT casino in the late 90's, and the Go-Go's were doing a no cover show at the open-air center bar, where the gamblers could watch. They sounded as good as they did on their albums from a decade earlier. The casino messed up because they underestimated the Go-Go's continuing popularity. They should have put them in the arena. No one could move on the gambling floor because the crowd was 10 deep at the railings. If i had known that they had reunited and were playing, I would have arrived earlier to get a seat in the bar.
Saw the Go-Go's live in Durham NC in the '80's. Their set was fine, but a little nervous (they weren't all instrumental virtuosi) but Belinda's voice was magic. She exudes charm and beauty in this video and it just makes me feel I am an old soul trying to live in a new world. I remember when it was a virtue for a girl simply to be nice.
Belinda is a great singer. Her cover of Band of Gold off the same album (her solo debut album) is great. Has that Olivia Newton John feel. That was her husband at the time in the video (Mason Morgan). Even Andy Taylor (Duran Duran) makes an appearance (the guitar player).
Now that you two have listened to a few by Belinda, it is time to check out another Go-Go and her solo work. Jane Wiedlin has a great fun song called World On Fire. Y'all should give that one a listen.
Andy Taylor of Duran Duran and Power Station plays guitar on this song and is in the video! I have always loved his rockin' sound that he couldn't explore with D2
This song was released in 1986 the same year Belinda Carlisle married Morgan Mason who plays her love interest in this video. They have been married for 37 years. Also appearing in the video is Andy Taylor of Duran Duran playing guitar.
This was Belinda Carlisle’s first big solo hit and it is my favorite! That is Andy Taylor formerly an original member of Duran Duran on guitar on this song and in the video! In this video, Belinda reminds me of a young Ann Margaret (starred with Elvis in Viva Las Vegas), a great actress known for her beautiful and sex appeal!❤❤
This was a Renaisssance for Belinda. She'd just married Morgan Mason (the man in this video, son of actor James Mason - they're still together). She's lost a lot of weight, changed her hair colour and you could tell she was really happy.
I think a lot of people (male, female, straight, gay) had a crush on Belinda Carlisle after watching this video. The song and the visuals together are dreamy. What a beautiful looking woman.
Yes! My favorite Belinda Carlisle song and one of my overall faves from the 80’s! Glad you love it too! ❤ The man in the video is her husband Morgan Mason. They’ve been married since 1986, the year “Mad About You” was released. Next try “Circle in the Sand” by Ms Carlisle and “Turn to You” by the amazing Go-Go’s.
This is a wonderful song! 1986 saw her breakout album “Belinda” The album depicted a celebration of her ascent from the hard partying days of the GoGos to having peace of mind. Another great song from this album is “I Feel the Magic” which depicts a celebration of life without drugs.
Actually, if you read her book, Lips Unsealed, she was still partying hard after the break up with The Go Go’s. It’s a good read, you should check it out! Love Belinda! ✌🏻👍🏻
HEY guys seeing this video reminds me of the days when MTV actually played music videos this was Belinda's second biggest hit single reached number three on Billboard pop singles chart Amber other Female Friday songs to consider Dorothy Moore Misty Blue Yvonne Elliman remake of Hello Stranger Barbra Streisand version of stony end Melissa Manchester midnight Blue Thelma houston don't leave me this way Many McGregor Torn between two lovers ABBA Dancing Queen Rita Coolidge Were all alone keep up the great work guys.
This was her first hit as a solo artist. Her and her crew did such a great job of picking her style for her first video release. Hair, makeup, clothes etc were so classy and fresh. I remember seeing it for the first time as it was getting major radio play.
Written primarily by Paula Jean Brown, who was a Go-Go for about as long as it takes me to type this. When Jane Wiedlin quit the band in 1984, the group moved Kathy Valentine to lead guitar and brought in Paula Jean to take over on bass. This lasted for all of TWO shows, and then Belinda and Charlotte Caffey decided they weren't feeling the new alignment and the group split up. But Paula Jean ended up making a contribution, after all. Lovely song, lovely performance, lovely Belinda.
Summer of 86! This song was on constantly at the beach, providing great vibes. That is her husband in the video. They started a family with several kids and the last I heard still married and happy together. Rare for celebrities.
The bass player is Andy Taylor from Duran Duran, her boyfriend is her husband Morgan Mason (son of actor James Mason) and her girlfriend is her Go Go's bandmate Charlotte Caffey who also sings backup . "Circles in the Sand" has to be your next reaction.
I remember me and a lot of my friends seeing this video on MTV for the first time and losing our minds on how awesome it was. And the ripping guitar solo in the middle is provided by Andy Taylor from Duran Duran.
When Belinda went solo, I thought she looked a lot like a young Ann Margaret. And I think that her videos looked like mini movies because she had that golden age of Hollywood look. Her whole body practically hangs off those cheekbones.
The song that transitioned Belinda Carlisle from the Go-Go's to a solo recording artist. It was originally written by members of the band for their fourth album before they broke up. Her bandmate Charlotte Caffey sang backup and made a small cameo in the music video.
Was waiting for you to review this. How gorgeous is Belinda Carlisle!! This song was her first single released at the beginning of a stellar solo career. Female Friday suggestion: Alannah Myles. Black Velvet. I don’t believe you’ve reviewed this artist.
Love this lady. Great tune. Thanks! A little bass there, Jay. Gonna say it again. Just love this lady! A bit of a Bangles vibe. No problem with that. Then that guitar guy! Yup. Such a good vibe. Thanks!
Her husband is Morgan Mason, son of British actor James Mason. That's him in the video with her. They married in 1986, and are celebrating 37 years of marriage.
This song brings back my happy place memories of the summer of 1986 at 14 yrs old. That was a great summer of music from hard rock to mainstream rock/pop like this one. This song reminds of being at the swimming pool hearing it on the pool's radio speakers jumping off the high dive. Not to mention is a great song. Great choice Rob Squad! Glad you liked it.
Belinda Carlisle rocks with that vibrato voice of hers. "I Get Weak" is a song that really shows her vibrato off. "Circles in the Sand" is more of a love song that also became a hit video on VH1 and MTV back when I was in middle school.
If I am not mistaken this was supposed to be on the next go-go's album but they disbanded before it could happen. You should check out Circle In The Sand it has an eerie sound to it
There are only two very successful all girl bands (sing AND write their own songs, play their own instruments, etc.): the Go-Go's and the Bangles. There were a couple that had one or two minor hits later but nothing comparable to those two.
This is one of those songs thats perfect for driving along the beach on a warm summer day! Probably my favorite GoGos-relared song, followed by Our Lups are Sealed.
Song came out late spring, early summer of 86. It's so nostalgic when I hear it. I'm 14 again 😊❤
One of her best songs. Her voice is awesome. My favorite song of her's is "I Get Weak".
That's my favorite one as well!
More white lines than the I-5
Mine too, and a great video. Never liked that hairstyle though. The one here and in other videos is much better.
Such a great ballad
Oh me too!
Summer Rain by Belinda Carlisle! 🔥
My crush when I was in high school. I'm in a trance here mesmerized by her pretty face and beautiful voice.
Summer Rain should be your next Belinda song.
Finally - I’ve been waiting for you guys to discover this gem!! ❤ One of my all time favorite songs from my favorite female artist!! ✨ So glad y’all loved it!!
Me too! It's my favorite of hers!
Me too
Same here! So glad they finally heard this song... I'm still waiting for Martika Toy Soldier and again Debbie Gibson Foolish Beat...
100 percent agree!!!
Yeah, remember Belinda performing this on Letterman in 86 or 87. FIRE !
I think y'all will love "Circle In the Sand!" Her vocals on it are just phenomenal and it has a more mysterious quality that I know you guys enjoy.
I second this
Perfect wedding song, imho
I third this
I fourth it!!! 😆 👍🏿
One of my favorites.
Fantastic song by Belinda, and of course Andy Taylor from Duran Duran playing the rock guitar in the break.
Great choice people. Cheers, Paul.😁📀👍❤️
Fun fact… if someone has an already mentioned it, the rocking guitar break in this song is played by Andy Taylor… Lead guitarist for Duran Duran.
"Summer Rain"- "Circle In The Sand" "Runaway Horses" and "Shades of Michaelangelo".
Me and my daughter loved this song when she was in school. My daughter and me were very close she died at 37. I miss her every moment of everyday.
Great Reaction!! I Know you both would enjoy her song Circle in the Sand!! She sings it sooo beautifully!!! 👍🏿
Yes!
Ooh yes! Fantastic song
If you want a new favorite song, Pink Floyd - Dogs is the one 🐕🦺❤
I swear it seems like it was just yesterday that "Circle in the Sands" came out. Time flies when you're having fun. LOL
I loveddd “Circle In The Sand.” I bought the album for “Heaven Is A Place On Earth,” which was the only one I knew but ended up liking that song more.
I had a huge crush on Belinda in the 80's. The Go-Go's started out as punk rockers, and they tamed their show for mainstream success.

He was Morgan Mason, the son of the great actor James Mason. He was himself a child actor who played Liz Taylor's kid in the Sandpipers.
Love that movie.
If you want a new favorite song, Pink Floyd - Dogs is the one 🐕🦺❤

My favorite from Belinda , there's something about her in this video that reminds of a young Ann Margret 😀
Yes. She looked more like Ann-Margaret when the Go-Go's did their 90's reunion album.
@@seanswinton6242 Yeah, she took on that person with her second album, "Heaven On Earth" (longer hair and blonde to auburn).
In the video, the woman she's having lunch with about halfway through is Charlotte Caffey, the lead guitarist and keyboard player from the Go-Gos.
So funny that me, a 51 year old dude gets a kick out watching you two discovering music of my youth
Belinda has always been gorgeous! She inspired so many of us in the 80s to wear hoop earings and black turtle necks and chop our hair to the chin!!
Well, not always. She had a lot of baby fat and no hair when she was in the Go-gos.
I remember making that transition in the 80's from the Farrah Fawcett to the classic bob. Good times.
Belinda Carlisle - 'Circle in the sand' 🔥🔥 A beautiful, haunting song...
I think you'd like Live Your Life Be Free, which has some great vocals from Belinda.
My schoolboy crush since the 80s,....I'm 59 yrs old and she is STILL my schoolboy crush!!😍😍
Belinda Carlisle wasn't the only Go Go to have a solo career. Jane Weidlin had a song "Rush Hour"
Omg 1986!!! Such great memories ❤
I 💜 The Gogos , This With Is Belinda Carlisle As Solo Aritist& This Song!😭🤗🤗🤣🥰🖥
Man take me back to summers of late 80's..❤
She deserves to be in the hall of Fame as a solo artist
Belinda is a great singer. Her cover of Band of Gold off the same album (her solo debut album) is great. Has that Olivia Newton John feel. That was her husband at the time in the video (Mason Morgan). Even Andy Taylor (Duran Duran) makes an appearance (the guitar player).
And fellow Go Go's band member Charlotte Caffey!😃
Her husband is still Morgan Mason, the son of Hollywood movie star James Mason.
I just came here to say all of this. 😁
@@shari_m925 Awesome.😊🎤🎶
Thanks for mentioning Andy Taylor....I thought it might be him, so, nice to know my eyes are not failing me!
80's candy! Love it!
‘Circles in the Sand’ really shows her range!
Love Circles in the Sand! We need a reaction to it.
I think that one is my favorite.
That one and I Get Weak.
She sings it even better live now than on the record.
I adore Belinda's voice, captivating with a bit of feline like purr. It just draws me in.
Yep, one of my very first celebrity crushes! Boy, do I miss the 80s
Now that you two have listened to a few by Belinda, it is time to check out another Go-Go and her solo work. Jane Wiedlin has a great fun song called World On Fire. Y'all should give that one a listen.
Awesome. That’s Andy Taylor from Duran Duran on guitar. You will love her song-circle in the sand.
"CIRCLE IN THE SAND"
"LA LUNA"
"SUMMER RAIN"
check these 1990's songs by
BELINDA CARLISLE.
thanks
JORDAN/AMBER
(jay)❤
Circle in the sand is a must
"Summer rain" and "Circle in the sand" are a must check out!
Andy Taylor of Duran Duran and Power Station plays guitar on this song and is in the video! I have always loved his rockin' sound that he couldn't explore with D2
Same here, I agree.
This song was released in 1986 the same year Belinda Carlisle married Morgan Mason who plays her love interest in this video. They have been married for 37 years.
Also appearing in the video is Andy Taylor of Duran Duran playing guitar.
I plead insanity is my all time favourite song of hers
This was Belinda Carlisle’s first big solo hit and it is my favorite! That is Andy Taylor formerly an original member of Duran Duran on guitar on this song and in the video! In this video, Belinda reminds me of a young Ann Margaret (starred with Elvis in Viva Las Vegas), a great actress known for her beautiful and sex appeal!❤❤

One of my favorite of hers
Amazing resemblance to a young Ann-Margaret
Great song.under appropriated
Great song! Thanks for this reaction. Who could not love Belinda Carlisle? And, as others have suggested, "Circle in the Sand" should be next.
And that's Andy Taylor from Duran Duran with the guitar solo.
I think a lot of people (male, female, straight, gay) had a crush on Belinda Carlisle after watching this video. The song and the visuals together are dreamy. What a beautiful looking woman.
I was a gay teen and I absolutely adored her! 🥰
Yes! My favorite Belinda Carlisle song and one of my overall faves from the 80’s! Glad you love it too! ❤ The man in the video is her husband Morgan Mason. They’ve been married since 1986, the year “Mad About You” was released.
Next try “Circle in the Sand” by Ms Carlisle and “Turn to You” by the amazing Go-Go’s.
While the guitar solo is played by Duran Duran's Andy Taylor.
This is a wonderful song! 1986 saw her breakout album “Belinda” The album depicted a celebration of her ascent from the hard partying days of the GoGos to having peace of mind. Another great song from this album is “I Feel the Magic” which depicts a celebration of life without drugs.
Actually, if you read her book, Lips Unsealed, she was still partying hard after the break up with The Go Go’s. It’s a good read, you should check it out! Love Belinda!
✌🏻👍🏻
She is the epitome of the valley girl and southern Cali of the 80s.
HEY guys seeing this video reminds me of the days when MTV actually played music videos this was Belinda's second biggest hit single reached number three on Billboard pop singles chart Amber other Female Friday songs to consider Dorothy Moore Misty Blue Yvonne Elliman remake of Hello Stranger Barbra Streisand version of stony end Melissa Manchester midnight Blue Thelma houston don't leave me this way Many McGregor Torn between two lovers ABBA Dancing Queen Rita Coolidge Were all alone keep up the great work guys.

When anyone asks me if I have a "type", I have always thought of Belinda Carlisle with this short hairstyle.
Ahhhh. She is very talented.
I Get Weak by Belinda Carlisle! 🔥
I was in California when this song came out…I always want to cut my hair like Belinda and dance on the beach like that! 😂
"Yes or No" is definitely worth checking out from the Go-Go's.
Written primarily by Paula Jean Brown, who was a Go-Go for about as long as it takes me to type this. When Jane Wiedlin quit the band in 1984, the group moved Kathy Valentine to lead guitar and brought in Paula Jean to take over on bass.
This lasted for all of TWO shows, and then Belinda and Charlotte Caffey decided they weren't feeling the new alignment and the group split up. But Paula Jean ended up making a contribution, after all. Lovely song, lovely performance, lovely Belinda.
The guitar player in this video is Andy Taylor from Duran Duran. ❤ your reaction
I L O V E Belinda... and I love Jay and Amber!
So glad you guys are digging' her.
:) Soon as the 80's vibes kicked in :)🎉🎊
Belinda Carlisle "CIRCLE IN THE SAND"
Love, love, love this video! When it first came out I styled my hair and wardrobe (the sunglasses!) after her. 😎
Me too!!😊
Summer of 86! This song was on constantly at the beach, providing great vibes.
That is her husband in the video. They started a family with several kids and the last I heard still married and happy together. Rare for celebrities.
Jay it's all about the bass baby! 😎🔥🤘🎸
80's Baby! 🔥
The bass player is Andy Taylor from Duran Duran, her boyfriend is her husband Morgan Mason (son of actor James Mason) and her girlfriend is her Go Go's bandmate Charlotte Caffey who also sings backup . "Circles in the Sand" has to be your next reaction.
“I Get Weak” is her best song you haven’t done yet
I remember me and a lot of my friends seeing this video on MTV for the first time and losing our minds on how awesome it was.
And the ripping guitar solo in the middle is provided by Andy Taylor from Duran Duran.
Ha! This song and
"I get weak" are still on my playlist.. 🎶💞🙏🏻
Those summers back then were the best. Sucks growing old😂
When Belinda went solo, I thought she looked a lot like a young Ann Margaret. And I think that her videos looked like mini movies because she had that golden age of Hollywood look. Her whole body practically hangs off those cheekbones.
YES more Go Go's! "Lust to Love" "How much more" Fading fast" "Yes or No" and "Turn to You". Turn to you has an amazing video you'll love it!
This was her first solo song from her first solo album.
The song that transitioned Belinda Carlisle from the Go-Go's to a solo recording artist. It was originally written by members of the band for their fourth album before they broke up. Her bandmate Charlotte Caffey sang backup and made a small cameo in the music video.
Love this song. And she’s so pretty
I was so madly in love with her and this song clinched it.
One of top 5 songs of the 80s. Still play it a lot.
She has a lot of good tunes.
Was waiting for you to review this. How gorgeous is Belinda Carlisle!! This song was her first single released at the beginning of a stellar solo career.
Female Friday suggestion: Alannah Myles. Black Velvet.
I don’t believe you’ve reviewed this artist.
This is my favorite of Belinda's solo songs. This is from her first solo album and she looks a lot like actress/singer Ann-Margaret on the cover.
YESSSSSSS! LOVE BELINDA
Saw her this few months back.. so awesome!
The Go-Go's are my favorite Girl Band. Love Belinda Carlisle. "Circles in the Sand"
Love this lady. Great tune. Thanks! A little bass there, Jay. Gonna say it again. Just love this lady! A bit of a Bangles vibe. No problem with that. Then that guitar guy! Yup. Such a good vibe. Thanks!
I love Belinda Carlisle!!! You guys need to check out my 2 faves by her “Summer Rain” and “Do You Feel Like I Feel”!!!
"I Get Weak" and "Heaven is a Place on Earth"
Haven't heard this one in a min., brings back great memories. Thanks for your reaction.
Her husband is Morgan Mason, son of British actor James Mason. That's him in the video with her. They married in 1986, and are celebrating 37 years of marriage.
Major crushes on her in the 80’s.
Runaway Horses by Belinda Carlisle! 🔥
This song brings back my happy place memories of the summer of 1986 at 14 yrs old. That was a great summer of music from hard rock to mainstream rock/pop like this one. This song reminds of being at the swimming pool hearing it on the pool's radio speakers jumping off the high dive. Not to mention is a great song. Great choice Rob Squad! Glad you liked it.
I was 14 also. Summer 86 was awesome
Her Circle in the Sand tour was my first concert at age 12. I got to go back stage to meet her. She was very nice & autographed my ticket & program.
Belinda Carlisle rocks with that vibrato voice of hers. "I Get Weak" is a song that really shows her vibrato off. "Circles in the Sand" is more of a love song that also became a hit video on VH1 and MTV back when I was in middle school.

Belinda is great. One of my favorites is "Summer Rain", though the ones others have mentioned are excellent as well.
This is one of those songs thats perfect for driving along the beach on a warm summer day! Probably my favorite GoGos-relared song, followed by Our Lups are Sealed.
I feel like a teen again when I hear Carlisle sing. :) I Get Weak or We Got the Beat are both great songs she sings. So glad y'all enjoy her too!
Real Life Hubby in Video too :-)
And hey… that’s Andy Taylor of Duran Duran on guitar!!!
Your next AMAZING Belinda Carlisle song should be "Circle In The Sand." 😎
