They allowed themselves to be "remade" from Portland's "Seafood Mama" into "Quarterflash". Sucks that I never saw them while they were the band they wanted to be.
The best !!! Raw talent better then today with all that backing! Theses guy's and other with them at that time played harder and song 😢🎉 harder then they do today !
@@ydcee3123I’m 71 and in defense of the gentleman above, it really doesn’t matter that he was in his 30’s. So was I. There are songs that really leave an impression on you because of perhaps personal reasons. This one hit me hard. We all have songs that feel like we’ve been hearing them forever. I grew up on this one as much as those in the late 60’s and 70’s.
A timeless part of my mid-teen years and watching them on MTV. They are still performing throughout the state of Oregon from last I checked a couple of years ago.
@Mike S Not even close to true! They were popular on the radio stations when they were out doing their thing! It had nothing to do with MTV... If you were not popular, you never made it on MTV or American Bandstand etc. etc..
@@bobbonj1171 Unfortunately most likely true. However if radio stations across America didn't play an artist or band enough or at all then you will not get popular no matter how good they are! I can't speak to any facts about the producers who make or break the success. I only know I didn't know anyone who didn't love this band an singer!
Unfortunately it isn't just autotuning that stinks. Vocal gimmicks and annoying styles mask poor vocal ability and actually having a range. That whispery voice or dumb flourished singling which is more annoying than anything...
Beautiful, classy, and exceptionally talented. Who else would like to go back to a time when female singers didn't need auto-tune and didn't have to appear on stage half naked to put on a great show.
Her dude didn't let her, lol jk. Love this song, never ever gets old, and in some strange way it's also haunting. The ultimate classy lady though is Celine Dion the way she dresses and her beautiful voice. But don't get wrong, I've been loving this song since it 1st came out and I was a kid, very talented kickass woman, and bandmates, at least for this song this is a timeless masterpiece.
Just a babe. I dun that thar ged thingy in '76 whilst in that thar sh|t NEA controlled 10th grade crap. Then went full on retard on my own in Seattle attending U of W night/weekend classes whilst being a dutiful lil' pig laying bricks with my first daughter under my chinny chin chin chin.... Life is Great if You allow such, ya lil' Babe.
53 year old child of the 80’s here. Loved this song. I thought she was sooooo cute as well. Talented, attractive, had it all. Should have been huge. So much competition in the 80’s. Still rocking my 80’s Jams on SiriusXM everyday. Great time to be a teenager. Last really great decade in my opinion. Music, TV, Movies. Good Times. Feel bad for today’s kids. But, you don’t miss what you never had. Can’t explain the 80’s. Had to be there.
Me too I’m 52 & you just can’t explain this to my kids or any children who never knew it because they never had it n damn sure nothing now to compare our decade of music to. Even when they hear it they don’t get it, when I listen it takes me back to all of it n when they listen well they simply don’t even know what they’re listen to. Sounds crazy but it’s true.
@@shannonbuchko15 All generations have their soundtrack. I’m so glad Gen-X’s ran late 70s-Late 90s and MTV pure and new as we originally knew it. Oh and Quarterflash is the bomb. Rindy Ross, baby!
I’m so happy to hear from you I’m also a 70s girl and I’m rocking all the time even the birds like my music because they are building their nests very close to my home and we keep the lights on all night to keep the nastiness from eating my vegetables and fruits
Saw her (Quarter Flash) in 1981 in CA near my hometown. She blew me away with her soulful voice and sax playing. What a talent! I remember she hit every note like an angel.
@@neuvocastezero1838 Funny stuff there, thanks for the chuckle! Someone needs to get a funny bone at Walmart. I hear the operation game they sell has one.
Right before this song became a national hit, I saw Quarterflash in a small club in Portland. I couldn't believe how talented they were. Wonderful classic song
Always loved this song , and lovin it in 2019! Who else? I was 18 when this song made it...What a great time in my life...So glad I fully enjoyed the 80s!!
At 59, I'm still here to listen to this wonderful song... how many memories, what a longing for those wonderful years... 80 forever, until the end!! ❤❤❤
There's no doubt why this was a big hit! Still sounding good after all these years! I can appreciate this band and vocals... pre auto-tune and Fabulous!
Rindy's voice is so perfectly integrated into the instrumentals. Thank you for providing all of us with your incredible talent that is totally non- exsistant today.
Seen them about 5 years ago at spirit mountain casino in Oregon .Fantastic .The lady still got it .Packed House .Along with Three Dog night great night
@@lil69mikey True! My sons are 8 years apart. Youngest listens to heavy metal, has oldest listen to Metallica's new song. Frankie says Dude, that song is from mom's time, it's not new. It was Turn the Page 😅 Then youngest has Frankie listen to 5 finger death punch new song Bad Company. I showed him Bob Seger and Bad Company on YT. Funny stuff.
Honestly I'm a 13 year old girl and I'm so glad my dad raised me on classic rock it has such a lovely atmosphere to it and it's pure talent. Im also grateful for my mom raising me on 90s music to even though I listen to more the of bands like Nirvana, Korn, Evascence, Soundgarden, and much more I still love bands like Fleetwood Mac, Journey, Hall and Oates, And Quarterflash and so much more.
Jiinx, you have awesome parents! 👍I grew up in the 80's and remember vividly watching Quarter Flash in 1982 on Solid Gold (a music TV program back in the day). The song was a huge success on the radio. If you haven't, then you might like some of Ozzy Osbourne's early 80's albums like, Bark at the Moon from 1984, Speak of the Devil, Blizzard of Oz. Iron Maiden is another awesome band and so is Megadeth. I listened to those mainly on cassette tapes since that's all we had before the internet era. We had CD's too, but not your average kid back then could afford them. It's awesome that your loving the music we experienced and loved dearly! I was never much into alternative music in the 1990's since it didn't appeal to me. I was a metal head, and my tastes are geared around the early Goth bands nowadays like Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, Midnight Syndicate, who are from the latter 90's era. 🦇🙂
My girlfriend and I were at what was then called "Great America Amusement Park" in Santa Clara, Ca. Quarterflash played a concert there in June '83. We saw them play. Awesome performance! After the concert we went to go on the scarier rides there.We were in front of the line for one called "The Edge". There was a buzz in the crowd waiting to go on the ride. All of a sudden 5 members of Quarterflash appeared coming towards the front with park security helping them. They came and stood right in front of us and waited for a few minutes while the ride dropped 100ft. in a few secs. My GF and I chatted with Rindy and Marv a few minutes about that they were excited but a bit hesitant going on the ride. Very cool moment in my life.
Oh my God, pure talent no auto play no lip-synching no glitter cannons, no ass shaking, pure, singing, and instruments who knew the 80s were definitely the best!!!
I'm 95% sure this performance is lip sync'd. There are two voices singing sometimes, and the transition from singing to sax was way too fast. Almost all of these TV performances were done to playback. The band looks completely disinterested as well.
I must have just forgot she played the sax because Quarterflash and Queensryche were pretty much the only popular bands in the Pacific Northwest in 82 getting national attention. Little did we know grunge was being born in garages around the region that very moment.
What a woman, she has everything. Pure beauty beautiful eyes, beautiful voice, rich melody of the eighties, in addition to playing the saxophone, it is incredible, I do not think there are women like that today seriously hurt, mis felicitaciones.!! the best of the 80'¨ ....
Cryin' on the corner, waitin' in the rain I swear I'll never, ever wait again You gave me your word but words for you are lies Darlin' in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go But it's time to let you know, oh I'm gonna harden my heart I'm gonna swallow my tears I'm gonna turn and leave you here All of my life I've been waitin' in the rain I've been waiting for a feeling that never, ever came It feels so close, but always disappears Darlin', in your wildest dreams, you never had a clue But it's time you got the news I'm gonna harden my heart I'm gonna swallow my tears I'm gonna turn and leave you here Darlin' in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go But it's time to let you know, oh I'm gonna harden my heart I'm gonna swallow my tears I'm gonna turn and leave you here I'm gonna harden my heart I'm gonna swallow my tears I'm gonna harden my heart I'm gonna swallow my tears Harden my heart I'm gonna swallow my tears No, oh, oh, oh Harden my heart I'm gonna harden my heart I'm gonna swallow my tears I'm gonna harden my heart I'm gonna swallow my tears Harden my heart, harden my heart Swallow my tears I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm still listening in 2023. One of the most talented and underrated bands of all times. I grew up during the '80's hair band era and still listen to it but Quarterflash's lyrics/music is still some of the best ever made.
Hey Degenerate👉She has more talent and goodness in your pinky finger than you have in your twisted mind, spirit and body. People like you aren’t needed in the world. It’s your choice to be a piece of sh** or not.
@@juneelle370 Are you insane or what? Seeing people being in love with a woman cause of her talent and beauty triggers you? Maybe they should send you to the moon and throw away the key. Being a musical performer is also about seduction with the audience and I'm betting she would be flattered to see these comments. Because she is a good person and she is sane.
I love this song so much. One of my favourite songs from the 1980's. I put it at #6 on my top 1,000 songs of the 1980's. I love the beat to it and I love the way the lead singer of Quarterflash sings it. Her voice is brilliant in this song. I loved it as a kid and will love it forever.
Another great band from the 1980's. Hard to believe that almost 40 years have past since this great musical decade. Very talented musicians. Great guitar solo.
Essa melodia me faz viajar no tempo e traz muita, muita saudade. Momentos muito felizes com meu pai, , minha mãe, amigos e descobrindo o mundo. Ouvi isso pela primeira vez num sábado inesquecível. Lembrança boa demais. ❤
Growing up I never really appreciated this song and thought it was pop nonsense; but now as I listen to it again, I find it very satisfying. Not only is Rindy a good singer, great saxophonist but she is also cute as a button.
The beautiful Rindy Ross on alto saxophone. Formerly known as Seafood Mama, she and husband Marv Ross (guitar) were the nucleus of Quarterflash from Portland. "Take Me To Heart" is another good one.
They still play out as Seafood Mama from time to time, I saw them in '11 at PPAC and they were awesome. They both signed my copy of Creem magazine with Rindy as the Creem dream centerfold, she was in red high heels holding her sax in front of her in the pic. It made her blush but I have to say she still looked great, she'll be 70 this year!
Got to see them back in the day, live. My best friend wanted to see Rick Springfield and I wanted to see them, as they were one of the other opening acts. The other opening act, was then known only as John Cougar.
Rindy Ross is one of the most impressive women of music of all time imo. Crazy that her and the band never really broke into superstardom.
They allowed themselves to be "remade" from Portland's "Seafood Mama" into "Quarterflash". Sucks that I never saw them while they were the band they wanted to be.
Man she gave me chills as a teen. Still does hearing it today.
Same.

@@bothellkenmore and that's unfortunate, I much prefer the two Q bands! Hand on Heart is a great song with "heart" in it by Geoff Tate's band.
The saxophone is such a badass instrument
Sharps and flats ,i can play guitar but sax no.Shes talented for sure.
So pretty with just alittle makeup on n that's the voice of a angel singing, You Rock Rindy.
I love this song she sings so beautifully
It gives me chills every time.
Always liked this song 😊
I didn't realize she was the sax player too. She's awesome!
Very Bad Ass
Isn't she great!!!
I know right. I never realized either that she was playing the sax. This is such a great song.
Yep no tats. They are all dressed. No auto tune. Pure.class and talent
Back when musicians actually had talent!
Yes they did. I'm with you on that.
rindy ross...................
Yea and put it to good use
Siiiiiiii
Yessss for real her voice is amazing
What a woman, she has everything. Pure beauty beautiful eyes, beautiful voice, rich melody of the eighties, in addition to playing the saxophone, it is incredible, I do not think there are women like that today seriously hurt, mis felicitaciones.!! the best of the 80'¨ ....
Criss Lenoli so true👍🏻
Yo también pienso que es una maravilla...en ese entonces nunca vi videos ni sabía de ella.. no podemos regresarnos al pasado. Perfect voice.
It's all about beauty & talent.
Of Course there are women like this today, Rindi is about 70 years old, she's still here.
Check out Candy Dulfer, amazing sax player
OMG. I just found this video. My God, I wanna go back to the 80's.
Same here. Watched the stage play "Rock of Ages" last night and this song was in it. Brought back some serious memories of this decades' music!!!
Scott Fox I think we all do!!
60's & 70's. I really want to go back.
Take with you....
🥰💯✌💞🌿
This awesome song brings back so many memories. I wish I could go back in time.
Hear, hear, sister! Those were killer times, man!
I'd be 22 and fit
In many ways I want to go back to 1982 seems like a lot of things were better back then than in 2020.
I hear you
100
I was starting 7th grade in 1982 --- still remember the excitement of playing Atari 2600 games and riding my BMX bike with friends
@@fredwerza3478 I remember the Atari and the BMX bike. I was born in 77 so I wasn't in the 7th grade I was 5 years old at the time.
There are LOTS of us that would gladly go back with you !🤔👍😎
Never got the opportunity to see this woman. That voice has always been enthralling. She doesnt disappoint. Beautiful on the outside too. A treasure.
This lady has more Talent than Beyonce could ever imagine she doesn't need to shake her ass to be beautiful she has class
And she never felt the need to appear half naked or overly made up. Less is always more.
who is beyonce lol
Sad but True.
You don’t have to shame one woman to show appreciation for another.
@@JulieParisiArt well said I absolutely agree. That being said it's hard to see somebody get so many accolades for so little and vice versa
Always did like this tune, and she sings beautifully and plays the sax in this tune. Awesome! Luis
Back when there was real talent musicians playing instruments
Karen Stevens great music good talent real feeling in one sound amazing
If they ever get rid of autotune, a lot of ' musicians ' will be looking for work.
Finding instrumentalists isn't hard. Talented vocalists are one in a million.
Thanks to autotune, finding talented musicians is damn near impossible. And, the record companies want everyone to sound alike.
no auto-tune used here
I havent heard this song in years one of my favirite songs when i was young and still is im 61 so
Me too
66 and remembering now that I've been reminded. Cool.
yep,me too at 66
I'm 70, and thought all this time it was Pat Benatar singing this! This is one great, timeless song! And I love the crying saxophone... Wow.
Great song. Brings back memories. Time flies.
I still remember when this was on the radio for the first time.(1982) Great time to be alive. Great rhythm. Thanks for the memories.
It was a great time.
I WANT THE 80'S BACK.
This lady's voice and style are exquisite.
Cryin' on the corner, waitin' in the rain
I swear I'll never, ever wait again
You gave me your word but words for you are lies
Darlin' in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go
But it's time to let you know, oh
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here
All of my life I've been waitin' in the rain
I've been waiting for a feeling that never, ever came
It feels so close, but always disappears
Darlin', in your wildest dreams, you never had a clue
But it's time you got the news
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here
Darlin' in my wildest dreams, I never thought I'd go
But it's time to let you know, oh
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
Harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
No, oh, oh, oh
Harden my heart
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
Harden my heart, harden my heart
Swallow my tears
I'm gonna harden my heart
Muchas Gracias 🌟 por la Letra 🎤 de esta increíble Canción 🎸🎶 Felicidades ✨
1978-1982 were the best times in music!!!
No.
is this not just complete perfection? Songwriting, lyrics, instrumentation, vocals, production, everything. This song is literally flawless.
I'm still listening in 2023. One of the most talented and underrated bands of all times. I grew up during the '80's hair band era and still listen to it but Quarterflash's lyrics/music is still some of the best ever made.
The 80’s music can never be matched
1970s better
yes it can.....you can still find good pop sissy music
I graduated from High School 1 year before this came out. Such a magical time for Great Music.
I wish we could go back to the days where the music was good this is an awesome
Have to go back a long way to the 80s! I miss it as well
I would go back to the 80's in a heatbeat!! Especially for the music and my peeps!
I'm coming too
@@kayshawnsimmons6822 I'm ready when you are! I'm thinking 84 to 89 were damn good years. Let me grab the DeLorean 😍❤
j yretourne
Buongiorno e meravigliosa ancora oggi più passa il tempo e più bella e più ballabile
We are thinking in the same memories😊
She is beautiful in that nice girl sort of way.her vocal inflections and facial expressions make me want to love her and protect her .
Yeah she is OK for a facial.
same. husband is lucky
Be careful!! her husband is beside s her😀
Hey Degenerate👉She has more talent and goodness in your pinky finger than you have in your twisted mind, spirit and body. People like you aren’t needed in the world. It’s your choice to be a piece of sh** or not.
@@juneelle370 Are you insane or what? Seeing people being in love with a woman cause of her talent and beauty triggers you? Maybe they should send you to the moon and throw away the key. Being a musical performer is also about seduction with the audience and I'm betting she would be flattered to see these comments. Because she is a good person and she is sane.
I loved this song 🎵 back then!
It's an excellent video too.
I ❤️ this song still and always will! 😊
I love this song so much. One of my favourite songs from the 1980's. I put it at #6 on my top 1,000 songs of the 1980's. I love the beat to it and I love the way the lead singer of Quarterflash sings it. Her voice is brilliant in this song. I loved it as a kid and will love it forever.
Just saw Marv and her tonight first concert they have done in two years. They both are great celebrating there 50th anniversary. Keep on rocking!
Where did you see them perform.
Hard to believe 50 years! That's awesome. Marv turned 71 past January & Rindy turns 71 this coming June.
Saw them at the long beach wa. Pe
Reforming arts center. Great venue only 39 seats
2023 and this one still gets me going
Yes indeed👍
Great song. Great sax.
Who is still listen to this Woman & this Amazing Song 🎷 in 2023?
Another great band from the 1980's. Hard to believe that almost 40 years have past since this great musical decade. Very talented musicians. Great guitar solo.
58 years old this year 2022 and still loving this song!!

I’m 75 and this is as good as it gets.
wow - the 80's had some of the best music - looking back is fun sometimes ..
.
Could get lost in that sax forever!! Under-appreciated band!!
She is "Beautiful ".
Love her voice and that amazing sax!!!
Being a kid in the 80s I didn’t realize how blessed I was, wish I can go back knowing what I do today
Essa melodia me faz viajar no tempo e traz muita, muita saudade. Momentos muito felizes com meu pai, , minha mãe, amigos e descobrindo o mundo. Ouvi isso pela primeira vez num sábado inesquecível. Lembrança boa demais. ❤
"I want my MTV!! The days before social media, when the music was our connection.
Nina blackwood ;)miss em...Dave from van Halen slept with them all lol
@@Admin-py1fl Lol.. I bet you did.. joking. Fun times though for sure.
I've listened to this song many hundreds of times and it's a song that is fresh everytime! Bring back the 70's and 80's music asap!!
You tell them Melanie Cole, tell them what the 80's were all about. 🎶 🎸 🎷 🎺 🎹 😎
@@Admin-py1fl Every chick that Dave had said he was horrible in bed, odd when he had so many opportunities to practice.
Growing up I never really appreciated this song and thought it was pop nonsense; but now as I listen to it again, I find it very satisfying. Not only is Rindy a good singer, great saxophonist but she is also cute as a button.
alwaysengines 4th vying f - so re b . ugh Mary me nymmkokkmk fdctxxdfxxxxh
😗😗😗😗
This is fantastically good pop rock.
Fucken eh Bubba😁👍👍
OMG TOTALLY!!! I also cant believe thins song got away from me in the 80's
Gracias por estar en TH-cam y poder compartir hermosa canción en tan linda voz les dedicó a todos los que si les guste abrazos a todos besos
I've always loved this song but haven't heard it in a very long time. She has such a great voice!
I agree
i would give anything to go back to my 80's and stay there......seriously.....
Hi energy fun and no cell phones. You concentrated on who you were with.
Definitely music today sux🤣🤣
Your not alone. If only we knew then what we know now. Alas i fear we would never have believed it.
Im the same way with the 70s
the golden era of the 80s.
Peu importe l'age que l'on avait a cette époque, c’était la meilleur, merci pour ce morceau
The beautiful Rindy Ross on alto saxophone. Formerly known as Seafood Mama, she and husband Marv Ross (guitar) were the nucleus of Quarterflash from Portland. "Take Me To Heart" is another good one.
They still play out as Seafood Mama from time to time, I saw them in '11 at PPAC and they were awesome. They both signed my copy of Creem magazine with Rindy as the Creem dream centerfold, she was in red high heels holding her sax in front of her in the pic. It made her blush but I have to say she still looked great, she'll be 70 this year!
Got to see them back in the day, live. My best friend wanted to see Rick Springfield and I wanted to see them, as they were one of the other opening acts. The other opening act, was then known only as John Cougar.
Thank you for the reminder about “Take me to heart”. Great tune 👍🏻👍🏻
Who's listening to this masterpiece in 2024 🥰
I listen, and I have the record at home
Me@@PatrickChabert-jt9z
❤❤❤❤❤👍
bu şarkıyı her sene dinlerim seve seve
Awesome!!!
I spend so much time playing the music from the Amazing 80's and wishing I were back there! Visit in my mind.
Kim McCullough-Hudson can I get your number
When do we leave ?
If you figure out a way back, please share. Lol.
i miss it too
They are all propaganda
Her breath control is out of this world! To go from playing sax to singing right back into sax without any break is crazy
@@deedeewinchur I don't think you're wrong. The transition from singing back to sax was just way too fast to be done live.
Why only one good song ,,this girl had talent!
