Wouldn’t be a bad idea for the squad to review some old Bryan Adams either. Start out with his first radio hit “Lonely Night” then maybe “Cuts like a Knife”
Alan Frew, the lead singer is Scottish born and hails from Newmarket, ON. He is also a registered nurse. He suffered a stroke in 2015 which changed his life. His hit song with Rod Stewart, My Town, is classic. He is married with one child and he, and Glass Tiger, still tour today.
I remember when they hit it big with this song and I really liked them, and I couldn't believe it when my dad heard me playing their record and said casually, "I know Alan. I used to work with him at the hospital. Nice guy".
@@theresabranford3527 That was around 40 years ago. He maintained the medical machinery, as I recall. My dad was a real extrovert, friends with everyone.
Thank you guys for reminding me about this song I totally forgot about it. I actually had this Glass Tiger album in my record collection. Bryan Adams is singing background vocals on the chorus. He also had a lot to do with discovering this band and producing their album. Have to go back and re listen!
Wow I'm an 80s girl and I listened to this song a lot and thought I was crazy when I heard Bryan Adam's background vocals lol but now I know I wasn't crazy, so thanks for confirming that!!🥰 I love Canadian artists, they are some of my all time faves! I hope u guys get to listen to Our Lady Peace, they have an amazing song, "Somewhere Out There". I still listen to that song to this day, it's iconic imo! 🥰
Thanks for reacting to this one guys. They and Wang Chung played at my high school graduation in 1987. It all happened at Disney's Epcot Center in Orlando... What a blast. And both bands were great and super energetic. Cheers guys. ☮️🎵
Met these guys when i was flying for the RCAF in Afghanistan back in 2009. We flew them into Kandahar airfield along with a bunch of former NHL players so they could visit for a couple days and to perform in concert on "The Boardwalk" where there was a stage. I could not attend their concert because i was flying a mission that night, but i could hear them from the flight line and they sounded excellent. They sounded just as good live as this recording in the video. They were a class act.
Another Canadian this Alabamian has been suggesting for ages... Gino Vannelli! "I Just Wanna Stop" "Living Inside Myself" "The River Must Flow" "People Gotta Move" "Gimme Back My Life" "Brother to Brother" (from the album of the same name) He'll give you a touch of Soul, a dash of R&B, a little Rock and a bit of Jazz.
Glass Tiger's "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)" peaked @ #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1986. The follow-up "Someday" went Top 10 (#7) also. Then 2 more releases hit #31 & #34 and that was the end of the group's U.S. Hot 100 charting.
I love this song . 😊 Thanks for playing it . Someday , The Thin Red Line , Diamond Sun , My Town . Are afew more by them. This has made my day Thanks again. Love watching your reactions. ❤❤😊
You two are just precious. Thanks so much for rocking out to this one and appreciating its '80s-ness. I knew Jay would love the bass and horns and I knew Amber would just like it, period. You made me smile, since I recommended this one just yesterday and here it is!
Pursuit Of Happiness did a cover version of Prince's "When Doves Cry", that was only available on their Greatest Hits CD. It's good, too... more of a straight rock version.
Lead singer Alan Frew of Glass Tiger is from Coatbridge, Scotland. About 10 or so years ago he suffered a stroke and is now back up rocking and rolling!
Maybe not in the States, sadly, but they were huge radio mainstays here in Canada for years!! First three albums were absolutely stellar with at least 3 huge hits from each! Their debut album had 5 hits which all cracked the top 40.
"My town" has btw Rod Stewart as featured vocalist. Thought i should mention it because he almost was in this one.. (but it was his voice-brother Bryan Adams :)
@@johan123212 it's from the same album as Animal Heart...this 1990 album "Simple Mission" is arguably their best album & it gave Glass Tiger a nice hard edge that most Americans did not know they had...
Great reaction guys!! I've loved this group since first release! I live not far from their hometown of Newmarket, Ontario. They were HUGE, both on radio and music video. This is probably their biggest hit (and features guest vocals by Bryan Adams - that 'raspy' backup voice you hear), it's on their debut album, The Thin Red Line (which is another song you need to check!). Other must hears: Someday, You're What I Look For, Animal Heart, Diamond Sun, I'm Still Searching, (Watching) World Crumble, My Town (with Rod Stewart), I Will Be There... Amazing group! Fun 80's vibe, through and through.
You guys are right - there are a ton of great bands/singers from Canada! In keeping with that, you have got to give a listen to Amanda Marshall and her song Believe In You! This is a singer that Elton John actually sought out while she was on tour to tell her how much he loved listening to her.
A close friend of mine is very close friends with Alan the singer. I have hung out with him twice and once ended up being just him and I drinking draught on a Toronto patio for 3 hours,. I swear he is just the best dude ever. Absolute soul mate!
Finally Glass Tiger! One of my favorite bands. Alan Frew, the singer, writes great lyrics. Saw them in concert way back on my High School grad night at the Magic Kingdom. "Someday" is their second hit. I dedicated their song "Rescued by the Arms of Love" to my husband when we were dating. Beautiful words!
Y'all need to introduce yourself to Tom Cochrane/Red Rider. Try "I Wish You Well, Sinking Like A Sunset, White Hot, No Regrets, Life Is A Highway, Don't Fight It, Boy Inside The Man, Good Times..." There are so many more.
I remember when this song became a big hit my cousin dragged me down to the local record store to meet these guys in person at an album signing, something that probably doesn't happen much anymore. What a nice group of guys. Boy, what a different time. So happy to have grown up back then.
I'm from Oz and have loved this song ever since this was released. I didn't know they were Canadian. There are some songs that are just so darn catchy that they stick with you. Songs like this song; Break my stride (Matthew Wilder); Slice of Heaven (Dave Dobbyn); Life is a highway (Tom Cochrane).
For female Friday, I think you would enjoy Canadian Alannah Myles - especially her song 'Black Velvet'. It was a tribute to Elvis. He used a black hair dye called black velvet and there were many pictues of Elvis painted on black velvet. It's a great song!
Singing along again. The bass is awesome but what I really love is the key change up into the chorus. I'd forgotten about this song, thanks guys. Cheers, Paul.😀👍🎶📀❤️
That rasp is courtesy of Bryan Adams believe it or not!!!!!! I saw Glass Tiger myself in the 80's as a youngster in person and I've loved their music ever since. Want more Glass Tiger???? Where do I even begin????? LOL here are some of my faves ~ My Town (with Rod Stewart), Diamond Sun, Someday, I'm Still Searching, Thin Red Line, Animal Heart, You're What I Look For, Watching Worlds Crumble (beautiful piano playing in this one), I Will be There, Far Away from Here just to name a few 🥰
There is a part of the chorus near the end where you might think it's the backing singer on the the "raspy Rod Stewart" part, Amber, is actually Brian Adams! Someday is another great song by them!
Thank you for the reaction... Would you like a suggestion for another Canadian group from the 80s? Honeymoon Suite... they had a number of hits... "New Girl Now" "Feel It Again" "Bad Attitude".
Wild Wild West- Escape Club J/A this was another huge #1 music charting fun upbeat hit that was popular in the late 80s like Glass Tiger was. Love for you to react to it in the future!
I've heard a lot of Glass Tiger on my local radio station recently - and have been hoping that you would soon discover them. So happy to see this. Those raspy backing vocals were done by the legendary Bryan Adams. They also do a duet with Rod Stewart in My Town. I'm Still Searching is another one of their more uptempo songs. I'm also putting a request in for one of other other Candian Rock/'Pop bands. HoneyMoon Suite - Burning in Love, Love Changes Everything, and Looking out For Number One. Colin James - Chicks, Cars, and the Third World War is a straight up rocking - kick ass BANGER. Along with Bryan Adam's Kids Wanna Rock. Big hugs from Canada!!
@robsquadreactions cool that you discover Glass Tiger! I'm from Quebec Canada! My favorite Glass Tiger's song is The Thin Red Line. Put that on your list and keep Giving the People what they want! Love you guys! ❤
Glass Tiger opened for Journey in 1986. One of my favorite memories. At 15years old going to my first concert without a adult accompanying us it was magical.
Another interesting Canadian band from the mid 80s with a pop/rock sound is Doug and the Slugs. Some songs by them: "Who Knows How to Make Love Stay", "Making It Work", "Day by Day", and "Tomcat Prowl"
I loved this album, and I wanted to see them in concert. They were opening for Journey! But, alas, I was pretty young, and they weren’t coming anywhere near my hometown. I really like their songs “Some Day” and “The Thin Red Line” from the same album. “The Thin Red Line” (the title track from the album) is much more exciting and inhabits the border between wave, pop and rock. It’s wonderful
Hey Rob Squad! I know you did the Scottish band Big Country earlier, but one cool thing about these guys is that the lead singer of Glass Tiger IS ALSO SCOTTISH! He was born in Scotland, and moved to Canada in the 1980s, and that's when Glass Tiger formed. These guys are WICKED to see live, and you EVER get the chance, I HIGHLY recommend it! You have to dive into their rabbit hole! They have so many hits, it is impossible to not find a banger!
Thin Red Line is a great video by these guys. ❤️. Keep hoping to see Lee Aaron show up on a female Friday. Canadian powerhouse, the metal queen. Haywire, Platnium Blond, Sass Jordan, Gowan... All highly recommended! ❤❤
April Wine was one of Canada's top bands in the late 70's early 80's....... though they had several hits,,,,, you should listen to Just between you and me......its a great song when you're in love Glass Tiger played at Valley East days that September near my place ....was $100 for a ticket ...I would have paid that 30 yrs ago ...not when they're older and not in their prime .....I did hear they put on a good concert
I think this probably is not the very FIRST instance of somebody mixing up Blackfoot and (Gordon) Lightfoot, but it was still HILARIOUS once I realized what you had done. (I was like "wtf? Blackfoot are from Jacksonville! Jay KNOWS that!" until I figured it out. LMAO.)
Other good song is Someday. As Canadian band, that voice if you didn't recognize, was Canadian legend Bryan Adams, who let them open on his Tour in 80s. Saw them in concert, could see they were friends, many of my favorites bands are Canada ones, check out if haven't Honeymoon Suite, if you watched movie Lethal Weapon, they sang the title song. Great singer and guitar one, thought of them being Canadian Tom Petty or Journey. Started in 1984 with New Girl Now and Burning in Love, then next album got famous with Feel It Again, What Does It Take. Then 3rd, Lethal Weapon, Other Side of Midnight and my favorite, Love Changes Everything, good on any play list! Rush, Loverboy, April Wine, Triumph, and Heart, band started in Seattle, but sisters grew up in Vancouver in 60s, just above Seattle. You'll like all bands if haven't already..
Love this song! Surprised Jay didn't like it more, but he said it's growing on him. Great bass line. Another new artist from Cananda not done yet is Honeymoon Suite.---I call them Canada's answer to Bon Jovi.
Another 80’s band from Canada was Honeymoon Suite. I remember listening to every track on The Big Prize and not having to fast forward through any of them.
👋🏻 from 🇨🇦! This song was played a LOT on the radio back in the day and it still gets airtime on classic rock radio. Thanks for living on Canadian musicians and singers!
Shout out from Canada 🇨🇦! Glass Tiger was great in the 80s. I was in high school at the time (no, not for the entire decade...) and the music scene in Canada was amazing at that time. Another good band was Honeymoon Suite. And a great one to check out for Female Friday’s would be Luba - super strong voice; great 80s vibe. Hope you take a listen, eh?
Luba was huge in the biz at the time, she should have had a reaction by now: Let it Go, Every Time I See Your Picture I Cry (about her father), How Many Rivers to Cross
Also from Canada, Platinum Blonde, Honeymoon Suite, Barstool Prophets, Haywire, Images In Vogue, Chalk Circle and might i suggest giving the Tragically Hip another try.
This 💎 is a huge part of my wife's past. Her favorite 80s movie is "The Breakfast Club" which featured this song. I believe you did that film for a movie reaction. If not, you should. It is a classic. Stars Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall. It is very creative and cool 😎.
One of my favorite bands out of the 80s! I love this Canadian band. Come to find out the lead singer is actually Scottish that Immigrated to Canada. So glad he join the Glass Tiger his voice is awesome. Bryan Adams really helped make this a hit to with his vocal. Can you play Glass Tigers other hit "Someday"
When this song came out I was in junior high. I loved it specifically for the horns. I played trumpet and picked out the notes so I could play along when it came on the radio. 😂
WINGER GUYS. Y'all behind. "Headed for a Heartbreak", power ballad. "Seventeen" Rock. Great late 80's Hair Band. Talented Kip Winger lead singer, Bass.
Thanks for play this song .I love Glass Tiger , they are still touring ,l believe . They have other great songs. SOMEDAY , THIN RED LINE . ,DIMOND SUN, ,.MY TOWN . Are just a few. Realy enjoy watching your reactions . 😊😂❤😊❤❤
Hey guys !!!!... Found you and I am in this crowd LMFAO. l was the drummers ( Mike) nanny lol...loving catching up!!!!.. l have been really digging....and found an amazing beautiful singer for your female Friday's.... Julie Andrews....l can't find a reaction to her ....and OMG the Sound of Music
Rod Stewart groove iactually Bryan Adams... which adds so much dimension to the song. I couldn't go anywhere in the late 80s without hearing Glass Tiger come on the radio.
*Fun fact:* Bryan Adams is the one who sings the lines "My heart would break" and "For Heaven's sake" after the first chorus.
Another fun fact, they were originally called "Paper Tiger"
You mean, right at the time Jay stopped the video? Right when Bryan Adams joins the song.
Omg..he sure does and I thought that voice sounded familiar. 🖤
Came to post here just that exactly. Oh, and Bryan is Canadian, too!
Lol. The guy who sounds like Rod Stewart 🤔 😂. Classic Amber. ❤
Didn't you guys recognize Bryan Adams on the backing vocals at the end? He was helping out his Canadian compadres!
I was wondering if they would notice that as well. They probably haven't heard enough of Bryan Adams to recognize his voice.
Wouldn’t be a bad idea for the squad to review some old Bryan Adams either. Start out with his first radio hit “Lonely Night” then maybe “Cuts like a Knife”
Alan Frew, the lead singer is Scottish born and hails from Newmarket, ON. He is also a registered nurse. He suffered a stroke in 2015 which changed his life. His hit song with Rod Stewart, My Town, is classic. He is married with one child and he, and Glass Tiger, still tour today.

@@theresabranford3527 That was around 40 years ago. He maintained the medical machinery, as I recall. My dad was a real extrovert, friends with everyone.
@@heidiv5488 what a great memory ❤️
I had a huge crush on him when they first came out, so adorable!
Someday- Glass Tiger is another great song that we would love for you two to react to. Thanks for this gem!
Also, "I Will Be There," with guest vocals by Bryan Adams.
One of my favorite songs!
Love that song... th-cam.com/video/UHYtsnSlCg0/w-d-xo.html
So is I'm Still Searching.
The entire album The thin red line is awesome
Glass Tiger, many hits, and one of Canada's finest. A staple for my teen years
Thank you guys for reminding me about this song I totally forgot about it. I actually had this Glass Tiger album in my record collection. Bryan Adams is singing background vocals on the chorus.

They have the same management company that is one of the reasons they collaborated
I have this on my car playlist and my kids and grandson all know it!
Another Canadian 80's band is Platinum Blonde , "Doesn't Really Matter " and "Not in love" are some of their hits
Somebody Somewhere and Standing in the Dark too!
Somebody Somewhere I love that song!
Crying over you!
Billy Squire is from Boston.🙂 Also Bryan Adams wrote this song and does background vocals toward the end.
I think that she may have thinking of Adams.
My favorite Canadian 80's band was Saga. "Wind Him Up" and "On The Loose" are insanely good.
And Scratching the Surface!
SAGA kicks butt. Insanely talented band.
'On The Loose' is AMAZING.
The Flyer
One of the most under rated bands ever that has been putting out great music for decades! Check out the Security Of Illusion album.
Thanks for reacting to this one guys. They and Wang Chung played at my high school graduation in 1987. It all happened at Disney's Epcot Center in Orlando... What a blast. And both bands were great and super energetic. Cheers guys. ☮️🎵
I was there too. Ready For The World played as well. Great time!
@@adamellington4562 Wow, cool!💯
Gradnite! Haha. I was there.
@@charlesc7950 🎸
Wasn't it at the Magic Kingdom? I remember they played by Pirates of the Caribbean. Went to that Gradnight too.
Haven't heard this song in forever. Fell right back in. Sung every word like it was yesterday!!🎶
And yes..that's Bryan Adams doing backing vocals
First concert I ever went to. Glass Tiger opened for Starship. LOVE THIS! Lots of memories!
No Mister Autotune, just a real and pure voice.
Met these guys when i was flying for the RCAF in Afghanistan back in 2009. We flew them into Kandahar airfield along with a bunch of former NHL players so they could visit for a couple days and to perform in concert on "The Boardwalk" where there was a stage. I could not attend their concert because i was flying a mission that night, but i could hear them from the flight line and they sounded excellent. They sounded just as good live as this recording in the video. They were a class act.
Here are some more Glass Tiger songs: You're What I like for, Someday, I Will Be There, Thin Red Line, Closer to you, and Watching Worlds Crumble.
An absolute classic 80's song!! Used to be one of my favorites!
Another Canadian this Alabamian has been suggesting for ages... Gino Vannelli!
"I Just Wanna Stop"
"Living Inside Myself"
"The River Must Flow"
"People Gotta Move"
"Gimme Back My Life"
"Brother to Brother" (from the album of the same name)
He'll give you a touch of Soul, a dash of R&B, a little Rock and a bit of Jazz.
Didnt Gino Vanelli song Wild Horses as well?
Omg. He’s fantastic!!! Yes!!
@@quincee3376 And my fave Black Cars
@@quincee3376
Yes, he did. 🙂
@@jodyjackson5475
Thanks for the support. I hope they see our comments. 🙂
Glass Tiger's "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)" peaked @ #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1986. The follow-up "Someday" went Top 10 (#7) also. Then 2 more releases hit #31 & #34 and that was the end of the group's U.S. Hot 100 charting.
I love this song . 😊 Thanks for playing it . Someday , The Thin Red Line , Diamond Sun , My Town . Are afew more by them. This has made my day Thanks again. Love watching your reactions. ❤❤😊
A bunch more songs in their library worth reacting to. A Canadian Hit Machine. Bring on Gowan and Platinum Blonde!!
Wow, this song was SO popular during this time. I remember it being in a couple movies at the time also!
I remember when this came out, another great 80’s song! Glad you enjoyed it❤️❤️
You two are just precious. Thanks so much for rocking out to this one and appreciating its '80s-ness. I knew Jay would love the bass and horns and I knew Amber would just like it, period. You made me smile, since I recommended this one just yesterday and here it is!
Another Canadian band to listen to from the 80’s is “The Pursuit of Happiness “, you should give the song “I’m An Adult Now” a listen!
Or She's So Young.
Pursuit Of Happiness did a cover version of Prince's "When Doves Cry", that was only available on their Greatest Hits CD. It's good, too... more of a straight rock version.
Someday, My Town, My Song, Diamond Sun, I can go on. Love these guys. One of my favourite bands growing up in the 80s.
Their song "Someday" is my absolute favorite. Alan's voice really shines on it.
Lead singer Alan Frew of Glass Tiger is from Coatbridge, Scotland. About 10 or so years ago he suffered a stroke and is now back up rocking and rolling!
very nice doing another '80s song! This and "Someday" are my favorite Glass Tiger songs. Thanks for sharing!
I loved these guys back in the day! They never really took off but this is a stellar tune. Having Bryan Adams singing backing vocals never hurts!!
They did in Canada with several hits.
Maybe not in the States, sadly, but they were huge radio mainstays here in Canada for years!! First three albums were absolutely stellar with at least 3 huge hits from each! Their debut album had 5 hits which all cracked the top 40.
Great band. I also put my vote on "someday" to be next. "Diamond Sun" and "My town" are other nice gems.
"My town" has btw Rod Stewart as featured vocalist. Thought i should mention it because he almost was in this one.. (but it was his voice-brother Bryan Adams :)
No, go for their 1990 catchy banger of a powerpop song "Animal Heart"!!!
@@johan123212 it's from the same album as Animal Heart...this 1990 album "Simple Mission" is arguably their best album & it gave Glass Tiger a nice hard edge that most Americans did not know they had...

Great band. I saw them open for Journey on their Raised On Radio tour in '86! Produced by Jim Vallance with guest vocals by Bryan Adams!
Just came here to post the same!
Singing along again. The bass is awesome but what I really love is the key change up into the chorus.
I'd forgotten about this song, thanks guys.
Cheers, Paul.😀👍🎶📀❤️

Where do I even begin????? LOL here are some of my faves ~ My Town (with Rod Stewart), Diamond Sun, Someday, I'm Still Searching, Thin Red Line, Animal Heart, You're What I Look For, Watching Worlds Crumble (beautiful piano playing in this one), I Will be There, Far Away from Here just to name a few 🥰
There is a part of the chorus near the end where you might think it's the backing singer on the the "raspy Rod Stewart" part, Amber, is actually Brian Adams! Someday is another great song by them!
Thank you for the reaction... Would you like a suggestion for another Canadian group from the 80s? Honeymoon Suite... they had a number of hits... "New Girl Now" "Feel It Again" "Bad Attitude".
Wild Wild West- Escape Club J/A this was another huge #1 music charting fun upbeat hit that was popular in the late 80s like Glass Tiger was. Love for you to react to it in the future!
Great 80’s one hit wonder.
Here’s another great one hit wonder:
John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band - On The Dark Side
You won’t be disappointed
Agreed, this a great song.
The entire soundtrack of Eddie and the Cruisers is worth checking out.
Cory Hart is Canadian too Jay..don't forget him...haha

@robsquadreactions cool that you discover Glass Tiger! I'm from Quebec Canada!
My favorite Glass Tiger's song is The Thin Red Line.
Put that on your list and keep Giving the People what they want!
Love you guys! ❤
“The thin Red Line” was probably my favourite Glass Tiger tune!
Glass Tiger opened for Journey in 1986. One of my favorite memories. At 15years old going to my first concert without a adult accompanying us it was magical.
Wow! I had completely forgoten about this song. A real blast from the past. ❤🎼🎙
Love it! This is so 80’s and so cool! Takes me back! Miss the 80’s!
Glass Tiger with Rod Stewart singing…. My Town… it’s amazing.
Wow, nice one! Saw these guys play many many times in the 80's. They always played a great show! I'm Still Searching, is my favorite song by them.
Another interesting Canadian band from the mid 80s with a pop/rock sound is Doug and the Slugs. Some songs by them: "Who Knows How to Make Love Stay", "Making It Work", "Day by Day", and "Tomcat Prowl"
I caught myself dancing like Amber at The Doobie Brother's concert last Saturday. 😂🎉
Oh my goodness! It’s been a minute since I heard this. Such a summertime vibe!
I loved this album, and I wanted to see them in concert. They were opening for Journey! But, alas, I was pretty young, and they weren’t coming anywhere near my hometown.

'Dance Desire' by Haywire is The Sh*t!!!!
Gowan! Criminal Mind, Strange Animal are to be checked out.
The background vocals at the end the ones Amber referenced were done by Bryan Adams he is also a great Canadian artist.
Bryan Adams sings back-up on this!
This song was all over radio in the late '80s. However, Blackfoot was from Jacksonville, FL and Billy Squire was from MA.
Len "Steal My Sunshine" 1999
The perfect summer song
Ahhhhh the 80s. Miss them like a lost love. Sooo original, so preppy and so easy to sing to.
Their Thin Red Line album (Vinyl) was actually orange and black tiger print - Loved it growing up!

Glass tiger has some great songs
Other good song is Someday. As Canadian band, that voice if you didn't recognize, was Canadian legend Bryan Adams, who let them open on his Tour in 80s. Saw them in concert, could see they were friends, many of my favorites bands are Canada ones, check out if haven't Honeymoon Suite, if you watched movie Lethal Weapon, they sang the title song. Great singer and guitar one, thought of them being Canadian Tom Petty or Journey. Started in 1984 with New Girl Now and Burning in Love, then next album got famous with Feel It Again, What Does It Take. Then 3rd, Lethal Weapon, Other Side of Midnight and my favorite, Love Changes Everything, good on any play list!
Rush, Loverboy, April Wine, Triumph, and Heart, band started in Seattle, but sisters grew up in Vancouver in 60s, just above Seattle. You'll like all bands if haven't already..
Love this song! Surprised Jay didn't like it more, but he said it's growing on him. Great bass line. Another new artist from Cananda not done yet is Honeymoon Suite.---I call them Canada's answer to Bon Jovi.
New Girl Now!
Honeymoon Suite. My mom almost croaked with the album. Heart shaped bed with spikes... awesome!
Backing vocals with the "raspy voice" is none other than Bryan Adams. He put them on the map and helped them break into the U.S. charts.
Another 80’s band from Canada was Honeymoon Suite. I remember listening to every track on The Big Prize and not having to fast forward through any of them.
👋🏻 from 🇨🇦! This song was played a LOT on the radio back in the day and it still gets airtime on classic rock radio. Thanks for living on Canadian musicians and singers!
omg the memories of just how Canadian this is (thank you Samantha Taylor on Video Hits!!) and how 80s !!!
Shout out from Canada 🇨🇦! Glass Tiger was great in the 80s. I was in high school at the time (no, not for the entire decade...) and the music scene in Canada was amazing at that time. Another good band was Honeymoon Suite. And a great one to check out for Female Friday’s would be Luba - super strong voice; great 80s vibe. Hope you take a listen, eh?
Luba was huge in the biz at the time, she should have had a reaction by now: Let it Go, Every Time I See Your Picture I Cry (about her father), How Many Rivers to Cross
@@jethro1963 Innocent was one of my favs.
Great song from a great era! 2 of your 3 songs today really took me back! Thanks for making me smile, you’ve reached what you preach
Saw glass tiger open for journey at the meadowlands during the Raise on Radio tour. Randy Jackson from American Idol played bass for journey
"Someday" is another 80s hit from Glass Tiger.
This is such a great request!! Everything is awesome about this song, especially my favorite, the horn section.
Amber, baby girl...these are the same songs that I grew up listening to during my junior high & high school years of the 1980's!! ❤ ❤
Their song Someday is beautiful
I saw Glass Tiger opened up for my Journey back in 1986. Always loved Bryan Adams background vocals in this song
Also from Canada, Platinum Blonde, Honeymoon Suite, Barstool Prophets, Haywire, Images In Vogue, Chalk Circle and might i suggest giving the Tragically Hip another try.
This 💎 is a huge part of my wife's past. Her favorite 80s movie is "The Breakfast Club" which featured this song. I believe you did that film for a movie reaction. If not, you should. It is a classic. Stars Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall. It is very creative and cool 😎.
Great upbeat song 😀
One of my favorite bands out of the 80s! I love this Canadian band. Come to find out the lead singer is actually Scottish that Immigrated to Canada. So glad he join the Glass Tiger his voice is awesome. Bryan Adams really helped make this a hit to with his vocal. Can you play Glass Tigers other hit "Someday"
Was one my Favourite Sing-along Song's as a Teenager ! 👌👍✅
🤜🏼🤛🏽
love them. thin red line is my favorite.
Great dance song.
Rush is from Canada as well. Can't go forgetting THEM! LOL
When this song came out I was in junior high. I loved it specifically for the horns. I played trumpet and picked out the notes so I could play along when it came on the radio. 😂
WINGER GUYS. Y'all behind. "Headed for a Heartbreak", power ballad. "Seventeen" Rock. Great late 80's Hair Band. Talented Kip Winger lead singer, Bass.
Bryan Adams has a vocal cameo in this song!

Rod Stewart groove iactually Bryan Adams... which adds so much dimension to the song. I couldn't go anywhere in the late 80s without hearing Glass Tiger come on the radio.
