Never understood why this Magnificent artist did not get the attention he should have had. He is AWESOME and from the same level as all the greatest bands we know today...
Maybe singing about a 16 year old girl when he was 33 or 34 had something to do with it? Even in this song he mentioned "young girls" too. Fucking creep
@guy-louiscolinet8570 To my right, on suggested videos, is an interview with Benny... '1 Hit Wonder CHARTED Same Song TWICE in the 80's,' by 'Professor of Rock' It is very moving and sad. I cried most of the way through it. Check it out if you haven't already seen it. (Sorry, I just realized this was 3 years ago!)
I only discovered this guy about a month ago. Where the he'll have I been. That's the joys of music when you discover a band / artist that blows your mind. Incredible
If you haven't already seen it, there is a wonderful interview with Benny by 'Professor of Rock', titled '#1 In Our Hearts'. He should have been far more recognized than he was and his comments brought me to tears.
I remember watching American Bandstand back in 1980 when Benny Mardones doing his hit song Into The Night and also paying tribute to American Bandstand and Dick Clark on his song American Bandstand. I thought that was very nice of Benny. Rest In Heaven Benny.
Just LOVED and Will Always LOVE and Remember Benny Mardones. Powerhouse Vocalist and incredibly courageous in his fight against Parkinson's and to perform in his later stages with it. Fly high in heavenly paradise. Thank you for all the beautiful music you gave to us all.
He WAS . I am so glad after all the years of loving his voice and music I was finally able to see the man behind it. He was just as beautiful. I don't feel he ever got the recognition he deserved or did his music. Complete sadness upon hearing of his passing. I will listen to him until it is my time to go.
He was truelly a good person!!. He had so much talent...why was he left to go into drugs. He had it ALL!!! So terrible that he was left to go into drugs!! Glad that he came back from the drugs with a deeper voice without his high pitch but still beautiful and rid of drugs. He lived his last years doing what he loved and with a comeback in Syracuse NY which was so great for many years. I feel he could have been so much bigger if record producers would have seen his potential and he would have not led to drugs....drugs that totally destroyed this man's voice...he had such range and magical voice that absolutely no record producer saw...he just was left to drugs....such a shame!!! Rest in peace Benny!!
He was using before Into The Night made it big. Fame just fed his addiction. Or that's how he explained it in an interview with "the professor of rock" He had to want help to be helped. Thank God he did. Benny was a beautiful man. Wish I could have met him. ❤
Watching this again, I see how phenomenal that this performance was! If Benny Mardones was in his prime here on today's talent shows like American Idol, or X-Factor, or whichever ones are out there, he would easily blow away the competition! 🎶 Could it be that rock'n'roll music made you stay so young!? Those rock'n'roll songs! 🎶 Could it be that rock'n'roll music made you stay so young Those rock'n'roll songs 🎶 Could it be those rock'n'roll songs on American Bandstand!🤘😆🤘
Wow! And even with great hit he should have got way more recognition Nation wide & world wide!! Seems all my favorite artist don’t get the recognition they deserve or have deserved!?? God bless all those musicians out there who are geniuses and not getting their shot at making what they should in this business.. also RIP Benny~ You will be missed! 💔😔 Thank you 😊 for giving us decades of yourself & to keep going strong even though your Parkinson’s.. You were a true warrior!
saw him a half a dozen times and always put on an awesome show..a lot of passion every time..never was in it for the money or fame...it was always the music...love me some Benny...
im from Syracuse....live in san diego.....saw him in Malibu 2009....when he saw my Syracuse jacket he hugged me...I can die now....elvis touched me....lol
@@chrisbowen8290 Did he move because the winters got to be too much? Wouldn't blame him if that were the case. It can get to people who suffer from arthritis. So I would only imagine how a cold, bitter winter can affect someone with Parkinson's disease. Again, can't blame him for moving where it's warmer.
Yes he should have been a household name, yet I didn't even recognize it when I heard he died. After watching this video plus a couple other live performances of Into The Night from 1980 I set out to find out why the heck it didn't happen. In a word, you could say it was cocaine. One year a millionaire, the next he had blown it, with a $1000 a day habit. There's a film made about him that was only released to film festivals but there's a 5 minute trailer on youtube that sums it up. The Benny Mardones story. They need to release that already, i would love to see it!
@@Katerina9256 I really hope they release the documentary soon. Even though Benny didn't become a superstar, I hope he was proud of all the success he did have, and I hope he didn't think he failed. His fans are so grateful for him. I also think a biopic of Benny's life would be a fabulous movie. They could cast Constantine Maroulis from American Idol, or Adam Lambert from American Idol to play Benny. They have the voice and the looks to do Benny proud. I think it would be fabulous!
@@patriciakowerko8201 You should see an interview that he did sometime within the last few years on a youtube channel called the Professor of Rock. They put out a tribute video when he died and showed the interview. That's how I first learned his name, when I saw that. Anyway at the end of the interview he said he just hoped that somehow he had made a difference. The interviewer assured him that he had and that this was the reason they were there talking with him. He was so touched he had to wipe tears away! I'm sure he had to live with many regrets but at least his career did have a resurrection of sorts in central New York. Also in 1990 he performed exquisitely at the Roy Orbison tribute show...if you haven't seen that video i highly recommend it! The song is Running Scared. It seems he had cleaned up by then. I would love to see the documentary to find out what it was that ultimately made him give up the drugs, because he has said that even Roy Orbison asking him to stop didn't work. I am kind of doubting it will be released at this point..it was supposed to already 3 times, I dont get it! Oh i like your idea of Constantine Maroulis playing him in a biopic, definitely 👍
I remember the 70's so well ,when I was 16 , and yes we did dress like we were 20 year old , I crimped my hair way before the hair crimping irons came out , way ahead of my time and everyone else . I also met my husband when I was 17 yrs ,got married at 23
😢😢😢❤❤ I love this man...I always get melancholy with his music--since he is gone. Such a wonderful talent!!! How I wish I could turn back time. 😢😢❤❤❤ You are missed Benny!!! 😢😢❤❤❤
I GREW UP LISTENING TO BENNY Mardones playen that song into the night an sang on the american stand i always love u Benny ur one awesome singer wish i could have been that young woman that u kissed at the end of that song, into the night, i love u ur biggest fan amy dunaway
How ironic, right. Perhaps his heart was for his country, due to how he was possibly brought up. I looked into Google and saw in the info on Benny Mardones that his father left his mum when was just an infant. I assume he was raised by his mom? If so, I would imagine that she was patriotic as well. They didn't give any complete information about him or his own family of origin on Wikipedia. They gave the name of the dad, but not the mom of Benny.
la verdad es que disfruto mucho los gestos de Mardones en este video, en especial el movimiento que hace con el micrófono WAO! cuánta fuerza interpretativa, ojalá pudiera ser clonado para volver a disfrutar de ese Benny Mardones joven y lleno de vigor, es una pena que la juventud no se prolongue por más tiempo ❤❤👏👏👏👏😘😘😘😘😘
Every once in a while, I keep returning to this video, because I enjoyed this performance by Benny Mardones so much! It really makes a great start to my day, after a long grueling night at work. 😉 I must add that from the start to the powerful finish to this performance, Benny was so badass here that he truly nailed it and owned it! 😎
Oh geez ... that was intense! I just can't help thinking of how cool it would be for this guy to take today's performers like Justin Bieber back to Rock'n Roll school, so they can learn what it's like to really rock out!
The story behind the song is not what you think. He actually helped out a family in his apartment who's dad left left them without saying goodbye by giving each of the kids jobs and paying them $50 wk. It was his buddy who said she was hot and he told him leave her alone, she's just 16. He was a good guy
siempre quise conocer el artista que con la canción into the night me hace sentir tantas emociones juntas !! y mirándolo en este video me quedo sin palabras ! cuánto talento tiene este maravilloso cantante WAO Benny you are really amazing and charming! Siempre voy a lamentar no haberte conocido en ese entonces, God bless you honey ❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏
Rocío Morales .. Yo también hubiese querido conocer a Benny Mardones en su juventud .. lamento mucho no haber podido conocer a este maravilloso y guapo cantante .. la canción into the night me llega hasta el alma .
I loved this one!May Yahweh or God bless you and your family!I know he died this year but I read he had a son !Iwould love to see him.Please post picture .want to se if they look the same.
I watched the performance whete he sang into the night for the last time. It made me fucking cry. When i first heard if this song i saw the video first. And immediately found it a bit noncy. Then i heard the story behind yhe sobg and felt like a total arse wipe
I had this album and loved it. At this time, I won a radio show contest and was allowed to pick a song to play on the radio. This is the song I chose because it wasn’t getting any radio AirPlay. He was supposed to play a concert in the town. I was moving in at that time. I went up to the door and saw that it was canceled due to “illness”. I wish he hadn’t mucked up his life with drugs and alcohol because I would’ve been his number one fan.
