I was little when the teens were crushing on him. Just saw his work four decades later by following childhood nostalgia breadcrumbs on TH-cam after my fiftiethbday. I knew his song and his face then. . Now I have discovered someone I really enjoy seeing and listening to. I was eight when his biggest hit came out, so too little for crushes, but, shall we say, I do indeed understand why a whole generation of bigger girls were captivated.
I met his brother on the set of The Last Boyscout. I started dating Irish Mike Nixon and the whole group was against that. Well I am married to Irish Mike Nixon since the early 90's...I guess it worked out. Would be nice to to talk to his brother to see how things worked out with the gal he was dating at that time. Cheers!
Johhny Thompson ...I follow Rex on Facebook, he seems like a really nice guy in his older years, happy and healthy good looking and his cooking looks delicious. I'm still crushing on him.. haha
I haven't heard this song in years. Marie and my Solid Gold boo Rex Smith did a great job on this Air Supply classic. Thanks for sharing this Dave. I look forward to more tubular Osmond moments. 🎶💟🧑🏼🌌😏
Oh wow what a great find..I've never seen this..They sound great together..Marie has a beautiful voice and she's a beautiful woman. Thank you Dave for posting!
After watching the movie on TH-cam, I experienced the same feeling when I saw it the first time at 14 so I had to buy it. I was the same age that Denise was portrayed so all the same feelings she was exhibited, I was too.
They sound great together and what a hot couple/duet! Marie's just so beautiful & classy. Rex is always a hot gentleman. Wonder why they never hooked up.
Saw Rex Smith and Linda Ronstadt in Pirates of Penzance on Broadway in 1981 senior year of high school. I knew something was different about me when the guys couldn’t stop talking about Linda while I couldn’t stop thinking about Rex. 😂
Are there any videos of Rex Smith doing Pirates of Penzance that you found. I knew by his bio he had already been doing it when cast in Sooner or Later movie and then resumed that role! Funny yah.
His single "You Take My Breath Away" was a huge hit back then. If I remember correctly, he also starred on Broadway in "The Pirates of Penzance" ( don't know if I spelled that correctly). Yes, he was quite the hottie back then.
@@birdsfan57 He starred in ALOT of Broadway musicals He opened for several Rock bands, including Ted Nugent. His big break came when he starred in the movie "Sooner or Later." The next day, his world changed. Us teenage girls were cuckoo over him. 🤣
As Marie said, this was originally done by Air Supply - Air Supply is an Australian band formed in Melbourne, Victoria in 1975. Comprising Graham Russell from the UK on vocals and guitar and Russell Hitchcock from Australia on vocals. Even The Nights Are Better was one of two hits for Russell and Graham in 1982
I grew-up in the same town as Rex however, he is about 6 years older than me so we never had any real contact..It was just a huge deal when he became famous,and I can remember listening to the 45 of his over and over,and over ..Lol
It had EVERYTHING to do with respect for oneself and your "partner", reflected in songs that centered around tenderness and love. Sadly, the recording industry and mass media, over the past 20 yrs or so, has introduced and pushed an agenda that has DESTROYED youth and American culture to believe that the "hooker/pimp, street ghetto" mentality is the NORM and, thus, must be adopted and embraced by our new generations. The American Music Awards on ABC just a few nights ago was a sad, sad spectacle and example of just how we have DEVOLVED as a society and what we have allowed our young people to deem as acceptable and normal, since this clip of Marie and Rex first aired back in the 1970's. I am just so disappointed and angry and sad for not only our children and grandchildren, but for society as a whole. They are being deprived of something that is so precious and irreplaceable (and truly NORMAL)!
@@birdsfan57 ❤❤ You're speaking the truth. For some reason the mass media seems to be intentionally breaking humans down, psychologically, emotionally. The 1970s/80s was the last time any positive feelings & messages were broadcast through mass media. The last 20-30 years most everything in media is negative & hurtful & cynical & warps people's minds, and as you stated breaks people down before they ever have a chance to learn & follow their own hearts into loving trusting relationships. This modern non-committal unloving uncaring hookup culture at best will become Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, but more likely will herald in a culture of instability & deep sorrow & depravity. Dear media moguls, please bring back to us wholesome music & education that's truly nurturing. We live in the greatest time now with more knowledge & resources than ever before in human history, let's make something POSITIVE of it. Sadly I'm fairly certain that The-Powers-That-Be know EXACTLY what they're doing. It's intentional, nefarious, benefitting only themselves with no regard to the billions of humans they're destroying mind, body, and soul. Those of us who RECOGNIZE this widespread psychological warfare, we can take the high road, rise above & ignore the hurtful sights & sounds all around us & protect ourselves & educate & protect everyone we love.
Oh wow! What a perfect blend of vocals. I love their voices as individuals, put them together and it's magic. I love it! Not to mention, this is my favorite song by Air Supply! Thanks for the upload! :)
If am not mistaken, Marie was married for only about 4 mths here.. also their son was born in april 1983...so she was a few mths pregnant here.!! Nice performance!!
What ever happened to Rex Smith?? I saw in a couple movies, and he disappeared. Marie is still one of my favorites (and of course Donny)!! Thanks for the memories!
@@tangerinerose3724 I don’t have Facebook . To many bad things happened to a friend of mine, so I am not on any social media. On only have TH-cam. I was able to see Sooner or Later again I was a teenager when it first came out. Take Care Tangerine 😇
Rex toured for a while, starred on Broadway, did TV/film for a bit; also, apparently he got his pilot's license, became a realtor, raised a family.... and did small shows occasionally. 🎶 It's nice to see he's well and healthy, and to hear him after all these years (in recent videos) -- his singing voice is still quite lovely and his stories are fun. 🙂🌺
Can I PLEASE go back to these days? Please??!!
Agreed
That's exactly how I feel
Take me with you !!!
We have to find the de lorean
Oh how i wish.
Marie’s voice is just outstanding!
The talent just pours out of every member of that family. Total pros.
It is so pure!
Wow! Beautiful voice of Marie Osmond.
Her voice has always been amazing.
Those were good old days, I love this duet beautifully done ❤️❤️❤️❤️
He was such a cutie. Marie got to sing with so many hot guys. Thanks Dave!
I loved it when Marie would sing with Andy Gibb those two had real chemistry together..
@@judyholiday1794 Oh yes. It was palpable. Who didn't love Andy Gibb? My GOD!
a trick : you can watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Marshall Angelo yup, I have been using Flixzone} for since november myself =)
Great duet. Such a beautiful and handsome couple. She was so incredibly beautiful here,
Rex has been a dear friend of mine for the past 10 years. Amazing guy! Amazing Entertainer!
Please tell him he is utterly perfect!

Rex has a bone structure chiseled by Zeus himself. Great video. Thank you!
You're very welcome :)
I haven't heard this song in years. Marie and my Solid Gold boo Rex Smith did a great job on this Air Supply classic. Thanks for sharing this Dave. I look forward to more tubular Osmond moments. 🎶💟🧑🏼🌌😏

I miss Solid Gold. I remember wanting to be a Solid Gold Dancer. It was THE show to watch, along side Dance Fever with Deney Terrio.

One of my favourite 80’s Marie’s duets - great song 🎶 sung beautifully. Many thanks for posting ☀️
Not heard that song in such a long time. Beautiful xx
Takes me back to the early 80s!
I 2nd that motion. Music when music was good...
Life was so good even when it was bad nothing nothing like today
I so agree with you.
Awwwww! How heartwarming. Much needed these days. A little nostalgia is a lovely thing. ❤️
Marie was such a sweetheart.
Two beautiful and talented people. Love them both.

Wonderful Duet between Rex Smith and Marie Osmond 💐 who looks very beautiful in this Videos #Fan Minnesota
Awesome sauce! Love this time and yes it tells my age. Great song
Great Job for showing this. Brings back some really good memories. Thanks for sharing.

They sound great together and what a hot couple/duet! Marie's just so beautiful & classy. Rex is always a hot gentleman. Wonder why they never hooked up.
Uh, because Marie was already married you moron.
Rex was a total heart throb 💓
Love this, still watching, so awesome ❤️❤️❤️
great memories of golden years...times were sweet...and we had the best heart throbs...

He had great hair...
And those leather pants! 💙💙💙

So my daughter laughed at me and said he wasnr hot lmao if she only knew ❤😂
LOL He was hotter than Georgia asphalt.

Never heard that phrase on GA and asphalt. So funny and true❤
Tell her to "TAKE A SEAT." Did she not see the, chiseled jaw, the classic Roman nose, and that gloriously luxurious hair?
Never heard of Rex, but great duet. Marie is 😉beautiful.
WONDERFUL !!! Marie is still beautiful !!!!
I really enjoyed watching Street Hawk in my mid teens. Found it on Amazon enjoying watching it again nearly 40 years later.
Love them two together.

Rex is on Facebook and posts often.
I posted an update on him and his kids above. Seems no one looked.

Marie is a good singer and very beautiful. Kisses for You.

Whatever happened to Rex Smith? He was a huge sensation back then.
He is very active on IG & FB. Look him up!

Broadway!

Love Air Supply. Yes!
They needed to sing the song 🎵 longer but I know they had to cut it short because the show is 30 minutes .
Marie is so beautiful.
Well I'll be darned. Rex Smith. Thanks TH-cam algorithm.
Was Marie as nice in person as she seemed to be? You two sand beautifully together.
A lot of girls in high school use to tell me I looked like Rex Smith , I didn’t even know who he was .. Marie looks amazing
I've only seen Rex Smith in The Pirates of Penzance"! funny to see him sing pop songs :)
What a great duet. Wish Marie had done the "sooner or later "movie, they made a wonderful couple.
Denise Miller was perfect in the role.
Pretty damn good cover Rex and Marie are doing.....
She had great hair too
It's hard to believe he's 22 when they performed this!
He was 27 here. This was in 1982 and he was born 1955.
