Today's music is in DESPERATE need of some sax solos. Glad I grew up in the 80s, but damn, I miss the simplicity of the time. The world's a mess in 2024. 😢
That you know, no insult intended, the word, "tremulous", woof, in my circle of friends, that is extremely rare. My parents' sent me to Catholic Schools, the level of education was unequivocally, better. Yet on the street,,they were abusive & thought you a lesser being. So, you're not just fighting, 'are you pretty, or sexy enough, but the stigma of, 'Jesus, I just want to fit in'❤
This was my mother's favorite song when I was growing up in the early 80s. I couldn't remember the name and I've spent forever trying to find it and it just now popped into my head!
This was played all day long when i first started watching MTV....I thought it was so cool then...now kind of cheap and lame and dated....like all of the wonderful early MTV videos....
@@hedwigohli4102 2 years away from 50 here, and I miss the 80s all the time. Funny how back then I thought that era would never end. That music, styles, cartoons, shows would always be the way they were.
In the summer of ‘83 Quarterflash came to my little town in the Rockies, Durango, CO. My family had full access passes as we were part of the special effects during Quarterflashes performance. We were hot air balloonists and we and some friends set up a balloon behind the stage that was tethered and went and down while hitting the burner in time with the music. My mom directed the pilot when to go big. Earlier in the day my little brother and I wandered around backstage. I stopped at the side of the stage watching Michael Martin Murphy and chatting with one of the security guys. After awhile I realized I hadn’t seen my brother so I went to look for him. I found him in Quarterflashes trailer sitting on Rindy’s lap while they played chess with another bandmate. That was a great day. What made it even better was the look on one of my bullies faces when she saw us drive by in the back of the pickup truck that hauled the balloon around. We pulled into the VIP lot and her mouth dropped wide open. It was one of the best things to happen me. Interestingly, she never bothered me again.
The saxophone is coming back my friend. I just picked it up, and I see quite a lot of saxophonists at my high school, my teacher told me that it’s very popular right now. Bring it back into music!
The 80s was pure gold. Even though it's 2020 in my head I'm still there in the 80s & I see no reason to leave .. if this song doesn't take you back I don't know what will ..
You must have a fabulous mind to still be there. I would love to go back to 1980 and slowly progress to 1989 again until I die if I could. The challenge is that 2020 is so NOT the 80s it is like being in another universe or...like the worst Mandela Effect - why am I not still in the 80s
I consider myself an aficionado of early 80s music, meaning 1980-83. I consider this a top 5 song of the entire 80s. I never get sick of hearing it. Not then, not now. True classic.
It is something about the neurons firing! i do not understand neurology completely because there are many long chemical words but I was in a good college when I heard the song so I associate it with that place ....
It's funy you put it like so, that's the no I was thinking it or feeling it certainly, It sure provokes feelings good feelings of course motr often as not
I’m discovering a ton of 70’s and 80’s music during this pandemic like Quarterflash, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Pat Benetar, Corey Hart, Laura Brannigan, Huey Lewis and the news, Bonnie Tyler, Hall & Oates, James Taylor ect I’m in love with it. Much better then what we have today.
Although I'm approaching 50, I wouldn't trade growing up in the 70's & 80's for anything. Music was good because musicians actually had to have talent to make it in the music biz. MTV also launched around the same time this song was receiving airplay on the radio and I remember this video on MTVs early rotation. I also got an Atari the same year this song came out. 😎
It isn’t just that musicians had to have talent, there is something that connects the music from the mid 60’s (Isle of Mann, Monterey Pop, Woodstock!) through the 70’s and into, arguably, the early 90’s. Whatever that is, allowed a kind of shared experience wherein grandparents would be just as scandalized by their grandchildren’s music as they were with their children. Although there were people of surprisingly young age at a Roger Waters concert, back in the 80’s no one had to be told about (limited example) The Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, or Led Zeppelin, bands spanned the decades and the voices were iconic. Now, not only is there a gap, the gap seems insurmountable. Similarly, one can see Country progress from the 60’s to the Arena Country of the early 90s, now, it seems like it would be hard to find a steel guitar or a Mercury. It is also interesting to consider that the children of the 80’s were the last to see the Apollo 11 launch with something like the anticipation experienced in 1969! I can hear the distinctive and awesome Quarterflash saxophone in my head!
@@JustFeltLikeListeninWhat you talking about??? Only 60s70s80s was the best times for real music your 90s was pure rubbish garbage music that I remember.
Never thought a disc jockeys death would of upset be so much, 😢 from going to work with my dad in the car listening to him. I was around 12 at the time... Now 46, you really were the sound of radio.. RIP SIR STEVE WRIGHT 😢
Try You're no Good. Linda Ronstadt. Its also in the credits of a tacky horror movie called Motel Hell. I'm sure her fee was most of the movie budget, lol
Another classic 80's video that makes no sense but hits harder then a Mac truck. One piece black leeatard, Flame throwers, dirt bikes in the dessert, dancing in a vacant room, it's doesn't get much more 80's then that. ❤❤❤ I'm ready to go back anytime now.
I know how you feel. I am constantly thinking how do i invent a time machine so i could back to the 80's!!

When I first heard this song I thought it was *Pat Benatar* singing. Not only does *Rindy Ross* of *Quarterflash* have a beautiful voice, but she is also a phenomenal saxophone player! Her sax playing in this song is unforgettable.
This was played all day long when i first started watching MTV....I thought it was so cool then...now kind of cheap and lame and dated....like all of the wonderful early MTV videos....
Born in '92. Both parents played nothing but classics. Mom had the fleetwood mac, heart vibes. Pops used to take it back to the beegees. Yall can keep the crap post '99. Im living like its '86, looking for an iroc camaro.
Nice! I was born in '84 myself (obviously lol). I watched A LOT of VH-1 as a kid, especially "The Big 80s" and "Pop-up Video", so I fell in love with this type of music from that alone.

It's Jan 2021. I have never heard this song in my life until now and I am wow'ed. This is pure talent in music, feeling, and engineering. The 80's had the best music. Period.

There were SO many differennt genres to listen to in the 80s from pop, metal, Latino, British New Wave, "progressive rock", European techno, and "hair metal". There's something for everyone.
MTV was a narcotic back then, entranced in videos that told a story. Visuals were fairly new then and everybody was sedated into watching them. This was classic.
[entranced in a video that told a story] The story told in this video- Yoga teacher is chased down wood-paneled halls during an earthquake, enters a red room where she(now in a dress)interrupts a Cirque du Soleil show being performed for a single midget. Back in her leotard, she wanders to her dressing room which is outdoors atop a colliery-spoil hill, where she(now in a robe) encounters 3 versions of herself as a child. Back in her leotard, she gains access to a flooded airplane hangar where she performs music for a group of bikers in formalwear and is taken for a ride(now wearing a tux) in a fog bank. Back in her leotard, she runs through the halls having flashbacks, and escapes her cardboard prison just as the tuxedo bikers bulldoze it and set it ablaze.
Your not the only one. The eighties were a great decade. 81 I was a freshman in high school. Really getting into girls and partying. Not a care in the world , and the music, MTv, boombox radios and affordable concerts. Whatta time !
Born in 91, I believe 80s and 90s songs and movies were the best absolute. Pick for both geners. Disgusting how both industries have turned from the genuine and genius talent to corrupt evil propaganda
One of the best sax solo's of the 80's which what makes so many of those songs classics. Rindy Ross' vocals are so damn sexy and seductive. It's like she's teasing the listener.
MrPizza063 Yes that's another great track from the 80's with a memorable sax solo. Also most of the songs from Hall & Oates with the great Charlie DeChant
One thing about pop in the 80's that is undisputed is it was actually worth listening to. People took musicianship seriously in the past. Modern pop should take some lessons.
sadly it seems like it's too late for that. consumerism and appeal have won over artistry with regards to popular music. one has go venture into the indie and diy scenes to find serious musicianship.
Back in 82’ huge hit! I was dating a guy from Montreal who played this song incessantly! I got sick of this song, broke up with him, and couldn’t listen to this for 15?yrs!! I’m listening again and laughing. 80s music takes you back to places you were when you heard it.
One of the most under rated acts of the 80's. Sure Rindy wasn't as big as Pat Benatar, but this album is outstanding. I remember hearing this song on the radio as a kid in the 80's and my ears were happy! I'm glad I finally got these albums in my collections.
Definitely underrated! And yes, Benatar/Blondie/Joan Jett fever ruled! I was struggling to get my female-led band to get our feet on the ground, and the three-man hard-rock groups were squeezing us out! I loved Mindy's depth and multiple talents, and thought she was squashed more than us other wannabees! However! She got her art recorded and the radios played her long enough to buy her cassette! I actually played it until the tape broke. Luckily, a kid I knew spliced it together and it lived until I found another in a grocery store bargain shopping cart for $1.00 each! I got my son a Boston cassette, and he had no idea who they were! (Face Palm!)
I was born in 2002 but I love all the 80s era songs from the bottom of my heart. Some of my favourite artists are like; Foriegner, Marvin Gaye, Nik Kershaw, Quarterflash, Commodores, Earth Fire & Wind, A-Ha, Depeche Mode, Howard Jones etc. (idk whether The Backstreet Boys were in 80s or not)
Friday here in Australia 2024. My dad messages me and says "Check this song out that I forgot about from 40 years ago" what a vibe. Thanks dad. I love coming across songs I haven't heard in years, be even cooler when its 40 lol💙💙💙
Listening now and with so much time gone, these old songs seem to have created and defined an era and if you were an 80's rocker like me, these songs WERE the 80's and it would not have been reality without them. It's kind of spooky because it's like these songs are the only thing we have left of a world that once existed for us which belonged to us but has been slowly replaced by this current sucky world without our permission.
This was a hit when I first started listening to the radio. It takes me back to the living room of the house I grew up in, sitting in front of my parents' Harmon Kardon receiver with the green light. ❤️
My first official concert as a teenager, 1982 Iowa Jam - Quarterflash, Iron Maiden, 38 Special, Loverboy and Triumph. Standing in ankle deep mud, but what a great show!
I'm so glad I grew up in the 70 & 80s. Absolutely love the music from that era

Brilliant sax.
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.

It's the hardest to play if you never tried to play a horn. Yes, i know it's technically a woodwind (the single reed)

I consider myself an aficionado of early 80s music, meaning 1980-83. I consider this a top 5 song of the entire 80s. I never get sick of hearing it. Not then, not now. True classic.
Agreed!
Same 🤘
What would the other 4 be as a matter of interest?I also grew up in the 80 s.
Yes, me too. I keep re-playing it just to hear the semi-falsetto at "Darling".
@@riccardostermin7279 , my guess is that "Drive" is one of them.
Totally teleported back to childhood when I heard this song. It's almost as if time stops for a second.
It is something about the neurons firing! i do not understand neurology completely because there are many long chemical words but I was in a good college when I heard the song so I associate it with that place ....
Absolutely
It's funy you put it like so, that's the no I was thinking it or feeling it certainly, It sure provokes feelings good feelings of course motr often as not
Yes. That last scene used to freak me
Out when I was 6. lol
Fuck Yeah! Me too!
I’m discovering a ton of 70’s and 80’s music during this pandemic like Quarterflash, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Pat Benetar, Corey Hart, Laura Brannigan, Huey Lewis and the news, Bonnie Tyler, Hall & Oates, James Taylor ect I’m in love with it. Much better then what we have today.
Same ... I suggest listening to the alan parsons project...eye in the sky... I'm on an 80s kick lately lol but they had hella great music !
You're on a good path. There is some serious recording depth with bands like Fleetwood Mac, Boston, etc. Enjoy.
I like Seal "kiss from a rose 🌹 "
The Romantics "talking in your sleep 💤 "
Eric Carmen "hungry eyes 👀"
All the best music ever! :)
Good pal , try Deff Lappard high n dry álbum.....Bon Jovi the full love lies album Fahrenheit álbum ,
I only ever heard Steve Wright playing this song. He used to announce it in an American accent. He was one of the Best
This was one of Steve Wrights favourite songs, RIP Steve
This song never gets old.
Brandon Scott copy that
Its 38 years old ...
Jocko Jonson Unbelievable. This 70s/80s stuff will still be listened to in 100 years from now, mark my words
@@teleaddict23 if we can even last that long
It's that driving beat that does it for me
...one of the best sax riffs ever....
Absolutely one of the best...love the sax :)
Sax very Good, saudades 1981
check out The Motels, I think it's Only the lonely.
Hey, how about INXS Never tear us apart? That beats all of them IMO.
dont forget hall and oates - man eater
And don't forget John Colla from Huey Lewis and the News for Heart of Rock and Roll. Another great sax riff.
She really sings her heart out! I love this song. Takes me back to being 12 years old again.
Same. I also was 12 in 1981. I remember skating to this song at the roller rink.
I turned 14 years old in 1981 when this song came out.
Takes me back to being 22 years old again.
So True, those days. Young……
I was 12 as well when this was 1st released and i still dig it
This is such a perfect song
Omg I miss the 80s I can't stand it 😫
Although I'm approaching 50, I wouldn't trade growing up in the 70's & 80's for anything. Music was good because musicians actually had to have talent to make it in the music biz. MTV also launched around the same time this song was receiving airplay on the radio and I remember this video on MTVs early rotation. I also got an Atari the same year this song came out. 😎
It isn’t just that musicians had to have talent, there is something that connects the music from the mid 60’s (Isle of Mann, Monterey Pop, Woodstock!) through the 70’s and into, arguably, the early 90’s. Whatever that is, allowed a kind of shared experience wherein grandparents would be just as scandalized by their grandchildren’s music as they were with their children. Although there were people of surprisingly young age at a Roger Waters concert, back in the 80’s no one had to be told about (limited example) The Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, or Led Zeppelin, bands spanned the decades and the voices were iconic. Now, not only is there a gap, the gap seems insurmountable. Similarly, one can see Country progress from the 60’s to the Arena Country of the early 90s, now, it seems like it would be hard to find a steel guitar or a Mercury. It is also interesting to consider that the children of the 80’s were the last to see the Apollo 11 launch with something like the anticipation experienced in 1969! I can hear the distinctive and awesome Quarterflash saxophone in my head!
Rap? Hip hop? I don’t even consider these monstrosities as music
@@JustFeltLikeListeninWhat you talking about??? Only 60s70s80s was the best times for real music your 90s was pure rubbish garbage music that I remember.
MTV was online a couple of years before this song came out
This song never gets old. Every time I hear it I am back in my teens. The video reminds me of those awesome early days of MTV.
Idem😊
Yes, MTV with Martha Quinn
This song never gets good.
Quarterflash on the radio and that's what got me liking them😅
Damn, we’re old!
The word is 'seasoned'.

Like a great wine. And a great one gets uncorked in several hours.
damn it...80s sax to the max....BEST decade ever really....never it will be cool like that...
Sax + Synth = 80's = Awesome!
awesome guitar solo too!!!
Sooooo what happened to the 3 kids.did they know their dad?😂
Check out Sade “Smooth Operator” for more ‘80’s sax...🙂

Who else was watching and listening to this on MTV in 1981!
This was actually the first video I ever saw on Mtv.
I was watching MTV at the beginning . I had a major crush on Martha Quinn .
I certainly did!!
While all you children were watching on MTV, I was at each of of their three album tours.
Here in Brasil it was a hit in beginnings of 1982, but we had no MTV, just FM radio.
the 1980s will never die.
What happened to this band?
@@Gawainer One hit wonder, pal. Last thing I knew, on 2009 they were on a a tour, you know the nostalgia scene.
80’s will always rock
@@nosotrosloslobosestamosreg4115there are definitely not a 1 hit wonder lol look em up and watch their other great songs!
Never thought a disc jockeys death would of upset be so much, 😢 from going to work with my dad in the car listening to him. I was around 12 at the time... Now 46, you really were the sound of radio.. RIP SIR STEVE WRIGHT 😢
This song gave me strenght through the hardest moments of my life
My friend I've been there. Stay strong! God says "tomorrow there will be a new tomorrow" for you and me.
Try You're no Good. Linda Ronstadt. Its also in the credits of a tacky horror movie called Motel Hell. I'm sure her fee was most of the movie budget, lol
This is a brilliant masterpiece...
Me too... A new woman was able to make my heart weak again...
Same here. 👏
Another classic 80's video that makes no sense but hits harder then a Mac truck. One piece black leeatard, Flame throwers, dirt bikes in the dessert, dancing in a vacant room, it's doesn't get much more 80's then that. ❤❤❤
I'm ready to go back anytime now.
That babe and the sax 80s 😊
Very nice indeed. Rindy Ross for president 2024.
Lol.,,,, so true!
Every instrument complements the other, just an amazing song.
Damn, I was young in 1981 with no worries. 2019 and life is just not as good.
I hear ya, man. At least there's the TH-cam video time machine!
@@Lerch-zc3ww Yup. I can live in the past to my hearts content lol....
Adulting sucks. Just sayin'.
Man you gotta harden your heart and swallow your tears.
I know how you feel. I am constantly thinking how do i invent a time machine so i could back to the 80's!!
When I first heard this song I thought it was *Pat Benatar* singing. Not only does *Rindy Ross* of *Quarterflash* have a beautiful voice, but she is also a phenomenal saxophone player! Her sax playing in this song is unforgettable.
I was today years old to know that the singer and sax soloist were the same person.
Rindy Ross,of The Incredible Band Named Quarterflash!
I thought it was Pat Benatar, too!
This was played all day long when i first started watching MTV....I thought it was so cool then...now kind of cheap and lame and dated....like all of the wonderful early MTV videos....
me too
Sitting here in 2020. Never get tired of this song. Long live the 80s!
Right
Dob 82. I love my 80s!
Cheers
Yes. But the sad thing is I feel OLD when these songs were new.
Still love this in2021 . Where's a time machine?
She was so beautiful and that voice ❤
You got that right very talented
19 years old listening to this , born in 03’ momma raised me right 😂
You’re adorable 🥰
Sure did mate😊
40 years later roughly and it still is straight fire
🔥Flamethrower fire 🔥😆
Born in '92. Both parents played nothing but classics. Mom had the fleetwood mac, heart vibes. Pops used to take it back to the beegees. Yall can keep the crap post '99. Im living like its '86, looking for an iroc camaro.
I was born in 1961. This the music of my youth. This song is a masterpiece.
HELL YEAH! ROCK ON!
Indeed!
Zac York my best friends mom had one of these maybe a different car but had the t top.
Nice! I was born in '84 myself (obviously lol). I watched A LOT of VH-1 as a kid, especially "The Big 80s" and "Pop-up Video", so I fell in love with this type of music from that alone.
Reminds me of the good old days driving around vice city
Rindy Ross and Martha Davis of the Motels were great, under-rated vocalists of the early 1980s!
Yeah, they're very similar singers
Yesss..and they were great bands as well!! 💖💖🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵💖💖🎶🎶🎶
Definitely

This was played all day long when i first started watching MTV....I thought it was so cool then...now kind of cheap and lame and dated....like all of the wonderful early MTV videos....
Rindy Ross has one of the most beautiful voices.
for some reason, I always thought the singer was Pat Benatar - in truth, they look & sound similar and that's likely why I was confused in the past
@@merccadoosis8847 I did too.
merc cadoosis i always thought this was a pat benatar song too.

Love this song still in 2024
Got my time machine built. Leaveing tomorrow going back to the good old days 80s
Take me take me take me take me back. I can be dropped off at any year in the 80s.🎉🎉
@@50toinfinityatleast I'll pick you up first thing in the morning. Think I'm going back to 1950 first I want to meet Hank Williams then I'm coming back to the 80s.
@@Acespad-v7i Enjoy being afraid of nuclear war again.
@@eboethrasher I'm afraid of today's music never been afraid of anything else.
It's Jan 2021. I have never heard this song in my life until now and I am wow'ed. This is pure talent in music, feeling, and engineering. The 80's had the best music. Period.
70’s for me, but pretty much every decade had great tunes. Even the 90’s and 00’s
I had sadly forgotten about it until the movie Rock of Ages, they performed it with alot of other 80's songs
I bought this album when it came out and played it to death. The best.
This was played all day long when i first started watching MTV....I thought it was so cool then...now kind of cheap and lame and dated....like all of the wonderful early MTV videos....
There were SO many differennt genres to listen to in the 80s from pop, metal, Latino, British New Wave, "progressive rock", European techno, and "hair metal". There's something for everyone.
MTV was a narcotic back then, entranced in videos that told a story. Visuals were fairly new then and everybody was sedated into watching them. This was classic.
아멘! (aka same, amen!)

Seen Heavy Metal?
[entranced in a video that told a story]
The story told in this video-
Yoga teacher is chased down wood-paneled halls during an earthquake, enters a red room where she(now in a dress)interrupts a Cirque du Soleil show being performed for a single midget. Back in her leotard, she wanders to her dressing room which is outdoors atop a colliery-spoil hill, where she(now in a robe) encounters 3 versions of herself as a child. Back in her leotard, she gains access to a flooded airplane hangar where she performs music for a group of bikers in formalwear and is taken for a ride(now wearing a tux) in a fog bank. Back in her leotard, she runs through the halls having flashbacks, and escapes her cardboard prison just as the tuxedo bikers bulldoze it and set it ablaze.
True.
For hours and hours....
The joy of sax!
❤❤
Steve Wright brought me here, rest easy friend, Loved the show!
Me too! What a legend he was!
Me too@@craigpalmerdrums
Loved the show, Steve! You were the very best and inspired millions every single day 😢
I'm so glad I grew up in the 80's listening to great music! 😘
Lisa Nelson, me too!
Absolutely.
same here
Killer sax. And it's a woman playing. AWESOME
You also forgot the Motorcycles
Rindi was hot!
@@timepoet77 Yep! I love tha way she sings this song and she's so dam gorgeous. Play's sax too, what a woman.
She is extremely talented and beautiful.!!
Talented...yes ! and i believe she has an MS degree in Special Ed. and so is a teacher ...too boot !
Who else is going through their favorite jams thinking about life back in the days? Please tell me I'm not the only one🖐🏼✌🏼️
You are not my friend what a time!!
Your not the only one. The eighties were a great decade. 81 I was a freshman in high school. Really getting into girls and partying. Not a care in the world , and the music, MTv, boombox radios and affordable concerts. Whatta time !
I am , remembering better days and much better country
class of 82 here. Best decade to be a teen. Would love a time machine to go back.For a month or two.
You're not the only one. I grew up during the 80's & nothing has come close to how good the music was.
awesome song great sax playing never gets old im 51 still listening
I’m 52 still listening to.. I miss the 70’s an 80’s . I wanna go back an stay
@DeniseLillie-m4u I totally here that
Damn the 80’s were the best!! I am going on 49 and remember how much fun I had .. truly the best generation.
70s
There's nothing like the 80's ! Yes, pure gold. I'd go back to the 80's in a heartbeat !
The 70’s are so great too
Yessssss and never come back. I agree
This is pure art. This song is timeless.
One of my favorite 80s song with a sax.
Long live the 80s!!!
Born in 91, I believe 80s and 90s songs and movies were the best absolute. Pick for both geners. Disgusting how both industries have turned from the genuine and genius talent to corrupt evil propaganda
1960s 1970s
In quarantine, shutting my eyes and back to the best years of my life thank god for the 80's
One ina. Life time there will only be one 80
Wow, how the 80s, hit you right in the face, what a great time in music history
One of the best sax solo's of the 80's which what makes so many of those songs classics. Rindy Ross' vocals are so damn sexy and seductive. It's like she's teasing the listener.
Shane Anthony only the lonely from the Martha and the motels has a great sax solo yeah sexy
Shane Anthony Sounds a lot like Pat Benatar, not only the voice, but the style of music.
MrPizza063
Yes that's another great track from the 80's with a memorable sax solo. Also most of the songs from Hall & Oates with the great Charlie DeChant
Chris Mulwee
Absolutely! Pat & Rindy did sound a lot alike.
Chris Mulwee you need an ear transplant pal
One thing about pop in the 80's that is undisputed is it was actually worth listening to. People took musicianship seriously in the past. Modern pop should take some lessons.
sadly it seems like it's too late for that. consumerism and appeal have won over artistry with regards to popular music. one has go venture into the indie and diy scenes to find serious musicianship.
it's not that deep lol
Back in 82’ huge hit! I was dating a guy from Montreal who played this song incessantly! I got sick of this song, broke up with him, and couldn’t listen to this for 15?yrs!! I’m listening again and laughing. 80s music takes you back to places you were when you heard it.
One of the most under rated acts of the 80's. Sure Rindy wasn't as big as Pat Benatar, but this album is outstanding. I remember hearing this song on the radio as a kid in the 80's and my ears were happy! I'm glad I finally got these albums in my collections.
Definitely underrated! And yes, Benatar/Blondie/Joan Jett fever ruled! I was struggling to get my female-led band to get our feet on the ground, and the three-man hard-rock groups were squeezing us out! I loved Mindy's depth and multiple talents, and thought she was squashed more than us other wannabees! However! She got her art recorded and the radios played her long enough to buy her cassette! I actually played it until the tape broke. Luckily, a kid I knew spliced it together and it lived until I found another in a grocery store bargain shopping cart for $1.00 each! I got my son a Boston cassette, and he had no idea who they were! (Face Palm!)
@@Jannyfly The thing was that they. were quite talented as well as being very attractive women,they were able to attract a broad fan base?
When I was a kid listening to the radio I thought this was Pat Benatar for years. There was no internet to look it up back then
Still remember sitting in my room as a kid and listening to this 45 record over and over. 45 records, does anyone remember those?
Got hundreds of 45s , several thousand 33s .
The 45s were the greatest
That guitar solo is all class.
Even after a heartbreak, it's good to know there are songs like this that can comfort you.
LOL
She has an amazing voice
I was born in 2002 but I love all the 80s era songs from the bottom of my heart. Some of my favourite artists are like; Foriegner, Marvin Gaye, Nik Kershaw, Quarterflash, Commodores, Earth Fire & Wind, A-Ha, Depeche Mode, Howard Jones etc. (idk whether The Backstreet Boys were in 80s or not)
Emotion 98.3 brought me here. Such a good radio station 🥲
Who else is enjoying this classic in 2025?
Me.
What a classic.
E sempre bello sentire la musica di quando ero giovane
The passion of music from this era is why they will listen for generations to come
Love this song she sings her heart out and you can tell ❤not to mention the awesome Saxophone she plays
Friday here in Australia 2024. My dad messages me and says "Check this song out that I forgot about from 40 years ago" what a vibe. Thanks dad. I love coming across songs I haven't heard in years, be even cooler when its 40 lol💙💙💙
Here I the US it's Sunday morning and this is still great over 40 years ago
Rindy Ross, Great Sax player and Vocals. Essential 1981.
Listening now and with so much time gone, these old songs seem to have created and defined an era and if you were an 80's rocker like me, these songs WERE the 80's and it would not have been reality without them. It's kind of spooky because it's like these songs are the only thing we have left of a world that once existed for us which belonged to us but has been slowly replaced by this current sucky world without our permission.
Agreed.. (Amen)..
Thank you for speaking the truth. Keep on shining and know our memories will get us through. Love and peace.
that's get's a Amen.. peace..
***** I know what you mean but it's worse than you think; this is 2014 not 2012!
And remember, fellow travelers (lovers of GOOD music) - just because it isn't doesn't mean it never was.
We need more sax solos and flamethrowers in music videos!!
F YEAH. HAIL FROM OZ
Oh the memories. Loved her voice, even more now. Oh the mems
This was a hit when I first started listening to the radio. It takes me back to the living room of the house I grew up in, sitting in front of my parents' Harmon Kardon receiver with the green light. ❤️
I'm glad that u have those memories,thank you for sharing .this song transports me to the house I grew up in and it transports me back in time

Wow!! That is some first official concert!!
ole9421 cool 👍
That sax is amazing.
Setting aside any 80’s nostalgia or aesthetic, this song slaps just for the writing alone.
Damn right !!
That flamethrower at the end was quintessential 80s for sure!

Love ❤️ this song 😊 The saxo owns. From the very first moment. And her voice. And the lyrics. And.. Everything 😊
Man this song immediately brings me back to a specific time and place.
I love a song with a lot of Sax in it, the guitar solo is great too.
The 80's was a great Decade for Music.
