The peace that comes over you when you see and hear the band and audiance be happy. Nothing at all like this today, it has been lost, except listening and seeing these on your tube thanks!
Yeah but SERIOUSLY 🤨, I'm a TOTAL STEREO GIRL and I won't ever change,So I don't like having to listen to my music on these stupid speakers 😶‼️ They just CAN'T Do what a stereo can 🤘🎧🎸✌️❣️
Michael's acting was so spot on it's hard to believe he's not really singing the song. I always thought he was underrated. He should have been a much bigger star.
I am a 46 year old black women from the hood! lol....and I was in LOVE, well....STILL in love with this movie. I even had a HUGE crush on Eddie😍. I just found out from these comments that, that wasn't even him singing in the movie. (sigh) that's a piece of info I really could've done without. Any who, it's currently May 24, 2022 I felt like going down memory land. Now, let me go watch THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN, another one of my throw back favorites. 😏 ✌🏿peace love & hair grease! lol....
Hey,I'm 60 yr old Asian guy.One of my favorite old school movies is "Cooley High".One if it's stars is Lawrence Hilton Jacobs aka Freddy Boom Boom Washington.It has some of the best music scores!It doesn't matter what race you are,great movies& music has no color barriers!😁👍
45 Yr old and definitely the same! I love part one and II and The Legend of Billie Jean, man I was like she’s such a bad ass for cutting her hair 😂! The 80s was life, it was the best… Good Times!
My wife (girlfriend at the time) would dance for hours listening to this and other great songs of the late 70s-early 80s at the Scotch and Sirloin Club in Boston MA. We have been married 38 years, still love each other passionately, and love to dance and revisit the memories and songs that brought us together.
They tried saying Milli Vanilli was the same. I think everyone knew who Michael was and enjoyed the show. I think it was in poor taste when that New Jersey rocker covered this and everybody thought it was him and not John Rafferty and the Beaver Brown Band. Lesser known bands deserve the credit they are owed.
@@cjturner370Read my comment again. With MV, their handlers tried using movies to show it happens everyday in the entertainment industry. Of course when people like Julie Andrews or in some of those 60's and 70's music TV shows like The Partridge Family, the adults sang.
I’m 41 & saw it when I was 3. Love love love this movie so much 💕. Eddie was my #1 crush. Who am I kidding?? My heart still skips a beat when he pops up in a movie now 😂
Pal, Eddie and The Cruisers movie as a massive cult following. There is news they are doing up both films for rerelease in 4K. Yeah these films where big at the time and now massive cult following like I said.
Love the songs, love the movie. Love John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band. Part 2 was poorly written and made. But I guess nobody else wanted to make the film? If they had continued it where part 2 where part one ended. It would have been Great.
@@glennwatson3313 I was going to say something similar. I saw the 40 years ago and thought bull shit and then I did the math. Where the hell did the years go.
IT AMAZES ME THE PEOPLE I ASK .. HAVE YOU EVER WATC HED EDDIE AND THE CRUISERS .. AND THEY SO NOPE .. NEVER HEARD OF IT .. THIS IS A MOVIE THAT DOES NOT HAVE A GENERATIONAL DIVIDE ..
I loved this movie and the music from the first time I heard it. I own the vinyl album, CD and both movies, although I'm not as big of a fan of the second one. This movie also made me a John Cafferty fan.
It’s still hard for me to believe that Michael pare didn’t actually sing this song. I mean the tone of his voice in the scenes and then in the songs match up perfectly.
It's like I gotta rewire my brain to know that John Caferty sung it but my brain won't listen lol...sorry but this song will forever be engraved in my nostalgia of Eddie & the Cruisers 💯😂
Michael Pare did an amazing job with "Eddie and the Cruisers" He also came out in a movie called "Tonight is what it means to be young" with Diane Lane, Rick Morris, Amy Madigan. Also a kick-ass movie, cool sound track!! The memories are flooded back! Yes!;💖👏👍
This was the 1st song my dad taught me to play when I was 8yrs old, the 2nd was Message in a Bottle... This song will always have a special place in my Heart... Thank you Dad for teaching me guitar!!!
@@brangreen74 he was my best friend!!! Lmao, I was his best man at his 3rd & final wedding. They were married for almost 30 years when he passed, but not before he taught me everything I know about guitar!
Critics always say that the music in the film doesn't fit the early 60s but isnt that kinda the point? Isnt the entire idea that Eddie was so ahead of his time that it essentially destroyed their career because the labels thought it was too obscure?
Must have seen this movie at least 20 times on cable back in the 80s. Great little film. Loved the ending back then though it seems silly now but with all the Elvis and Jim Morrison rumors back then it worked.
John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band, I think did the sound track...used to see them play in Rhode Island...great times on the beach too (Rocky Point).
Yes, and no. It is clearly a '70s music style although in the early '80s, but it is supposed to be set in the early '60s, right at the start of the Beatles in America. Music was nothing like this then. There was Motown, there was heavily filtered commercial pop and bobby sox, there was country, there was jazz, and there was remnants of original rock and roll.
How do you say fucking great. Both movies were outstanding. Till this day still get chills watching them. Dont know how many times have I craved for one more movie . How about you? Running thru the fire would be a good name for it
Got to see the band at the Tampa Theatre right after the movie came out. To this day, and hundreds of concerts later, still the best show I have ever seen. Saw them again 20 years later in Beaver Creek, CO and they still rocked.
I saw this for the 1st time when I was 3. Some girls carried around baby dolls…. Others carried around the cassette tape with Eddie’s face on the cover. Yeah… I’m 41 now & he is still just as gorgeous!! 😍
The music in this movie was great. Yet it went unnoticed. Loved the movie and the music. Michael Pare did a great job. One of my other movies with great music was The Big Chill. Great movie
Was a great movie back in the 80’s! Great soundtrack! Michael Pare was the best lip syncing artist ever! It was also a great beginning to Tom Berengers, aka Wordman’s career!!
That was a really good movie 🎥 back in the olden days 😂I’ve seen The Beaver Brown Band a couple of times. I’m from New England and during that time we all clubbing EVERY weekend to see who was playing live!!
I have 3 boys that are now 30 27 and 25 and I had them watch this when they were teens and they still love the songs from this movie, which is rare anymore now it's rap or country but there are amazing songs from this movie and band..
The peace that comes over you when you see and hear the band and audiance be happy. Nothing at all like this today, it has been lost, except listening and seeing these on your tube thanks!
My thoughts exactly. This song just calms me. Lol. Simple times
Yeah but SERIOUSLY 🤨, I'm a TOTAL STEREO GIRL and I won't ever change,So I don't like having to listen to my music on these stupid speakers 😶‼️ They just CAN'T Do what a stereo can 🤘🎧🎸✌️❣️
Love Michael Pare . He’s my dark side ❤️
he's gorgeous
Still is.
He's not as cool as you think - He's French , and Has different values, and a heavy accent. He also Cannot Sing . .
Michael's acting was so spot on it's hard to believe he's not really singing the song. I always thought he was underrated. He should have been a much bigger star.
I agree
Spot on. Great actor.
Yes!
reason it's "hard to believe he's not really singing the song"....is because: he really is singing it.
@@davidluck1678 this is lip syncing, John Cafferty & the BBB
Loved this in 1983. Still love it in October 2024! ❤
@diannelovejoy5514 The Best.
its the soundtrack of my youth
@@bradleybourne2207 I was 28 and 2yrs into my first job after Grad School when this was released.
I remember watching this movie with my big sister when it was on HBO around 1985.
Hell yeah, Dianne!
Michael Pare was the quintessential 50's style cool guy during the 80"s.
What happened to him?
@@allergictostupidpeople7893I believe he's still acting. He's in his 60's

44 from jersey city. I watched this movie over and over. I longed to know more about Eddie.

Damn you are awesome, I freaking miss the 80s
And a really nice guy,very fortunate to meet him
45 Yr old and definitely the same! I love part one and II and The Legend of Billie Jean, man I was like she’s such a bad ass for cutting her hair 😂! The 80s was life, it was the best… Good Times!
Anybody in 2024 still listening to this? I know I do😊
❤❤❤❤❤meeeee
Oh hell yeah southern rockers r listening and hard drinking hard partying 🍻💪💪 good whorin ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I listened to both soundtracks this morning. Recently acquire the vinyl for the second movie. Still one of my absolute favorite things in the world.
I don't it's a great song and a terrific movie ❤😊
Words and music 🎉
How many listen to this song in anticipation of that fantastic sax solo. That dude is hot!
OMGg lad I'm not the only one! His sax solo popped into my head tonight for some reason! Hadn't heard this song for years, such a chunky solo 🎉
I grew up to this movie
Me2
I am 65 years young and I still listen to and love this music.
I'm 73 and listening!!!
That's awesome me and my wife are 55 and 52 and we we're missing the great memories from the 1980s and we looked this up
Age has nothing to do with wanting to rock.
64 here
I'm 55 I still love it
If this song doesn't get you going, nothing will. Great adrenal rush
Try Kickstart My Heart.....
Yeah if I wasn't so blind myself years ago
@@grizzlybexar8177That's a great one to play on guitar. Dump the tremolo bar & you've got a dragster lighting it up!!!
CORRECT!!
True. Great driving song
Michael Pare was in 2 classic movies Eddie and the Cruisers and Streets of Fire ... both soundtracks have memorable hits
Lol just typed that I want the Universe where Eddie and the Cruisers is tied to Streets of Fire lol IDK maybe via the Philadelphia Experiment? (Grin)
His best was bad moon
I liked the Philadelphia Experiment also!
Love it
Streets of fire is FIRE NO JOKE
Still one of the best lip sync jobs ever in a movie. Well done - Classic.
That and jason lee
@@landmineremover5676 , Jason was incredible in Almost Famous 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
No lip sync at all!! Watch the documentary and then pull your foot out of your mouth
@@aburgheim , are you talking about Eddie
@@TWTexasA1 Michael Pare......... playing Eddie

Boston was so much cooler before the yuppies and other types took it over
Hollywood can't make anything anymore. All remakes. No original movies. What a shame.glad I have my 200+ DVDs and CDs
They better not remake this!
Michael Pare's speaking voice and Cafferty's singing voice is such a great match. It's absolutely believeable that he's sound like that.
They tried saying Milli Vanilli was the same. I think everyone knew who Michael was and enjoyed the show. I think it was in poor taste when that New Jersey rocker covered this and everybody thought it was him and not John Rafferty and the Beaver Brown Band.

I was so addicted to this movie when i was a teen in the 80s. Wore it out !!! I still own it today and im 51😊

Pal, Eddie and The Cruisers movie as a massive cult following. There is news they are doing up both films for rerelease in 4K. Yeah these films where big at the time and now massive cult following like I said.

John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band
Love both movies, wore them out on video and DVD.
Saw John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band sing that at Cain's ballroom in Tulsa OK back in 83/84, one of the best concerts I'd gone to.
Iam here
2024. Hell yeah. Great job song snd movie
December 2024 here.
I love these movies! I could recite the entire movies, both of them, word for word. I have watched them both thousands of times.
Still sounds great some 40 years after it's been released.
That was not 40 years ago. That was yesterday.
Love the songs, love the movie. Love John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band.
Part 2 was poorly written and made.
But I guess nobody else wanted to make the film?
If they had continued it where part 2 where part one ended. It would have been Great.
No shit, huh😂🎉😂
@@glennwatson3313 I was going to say something similar. I saw the 40 years ago and thought bull shit and then I did the math. Where the hell did the years go.

This song and album was part of my teens.❤️
Me too! Still listen to this day

#1 song IN THE world 🌎
I totally agree. Being an old Rocker with many gigs under my belt, his voice fits all to well.

Ya believe that's a young Tom Beringer? Long before Platoon ever came out.
@@duanemcclure8324 yes it is
I think Michael did sing this version, listen how he talks
@@mscottlawrence2037 No. I used to be a roadie and all music is sung by JCBBB
That's Michael Antunes on sax in the movie. He was the original sax player for the Beaver Brown Band.
Michael Pare did an amazing job with "Eddie and the Cruisers" He also came out in a movie called "Tonight is what it means to be young" with Diane Lane, Rick Morris, Amy Madigan. Also a kick-ass movie, cool sound track!! The memories are flooded back! Yes!;💖👏👍
Wow cool never SEEN didn't know. He was best LOOOKN MAN BACK then
Streets of Fire
The sax player is in a local band here in Boston. Ernie and the Automatics
A great movie and great song! Stuff like this will never get old.
You're right about that
This was my favorite movie when i was in my teens an still is to this day wow an the songs still sound good .
Oh I know!! I was sooooo in love with Michael Pare !! :) He was a "god" to me!

Critics always say that the music in the film doesn't fit the early 60s but isnt that kinda the point? Isnt the entire idea that Eddie was so ahead of his time that it essentially destroyed their career because the labels thought it was too obscure?
I agree, it was the whole concept of the movie and explained at the end with the hidden tapes of the recorded songs.
My kids and I watched Eddie and the Cruisers so many times. I really thought he sang these songs. Great lip sync job...one of the best.
Must have seen this movie at least 20 times on cable back in the 80s. Great little film. Loved the ending back then though it seems silly now but with all the Elvis and Jim Morrison rumors back then it worked.
"great little film" yet you've watched it at least 20 times. So how many times do you watch a "little film" before it becomes a good movie???
John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band, I think did the sound track...used to see them play in Rhode Island...great times on the beach too (Rocky Point).
This movie really captured that era of club bands. Excellent
Yes, and no. It is clearly a '70s music style although in the early '80s, but it is supposed to be set in the early '60s, right at the start of the Beatles in America.

How do you say fucking great. Both movies were outstanding. Till this day still get chills watching them. Dont know how many times have I craved for one more movie . How about you? Running thru the fire would be a good name for it
I always always said they didn't make a third. But if you think about it with the two movies that came full circle
You literally can't help but to start singing along with this
2023 and this tune STILL Kicks Ass!

I would have loved to see how the reaction to the news of him being alive played out on tv!!
The sax solo gets me every time
I remember watching this movie on HBO back in 1982. Everybody loved this movie.
When I first saw this movie 100 years ago , I truly thought this was a real band, been listening to this sountrack for many years.
It is a real band.
John Cafferty and the beaver brown band
#metoo
I did some research on old bands and I found a band back in 1960 called Eddie and the cruisers with only 1 hit song ever
I thought eddie and the cruisers were real too.
Ditto!!!! \

This was the song that was the most amazing to my mom and me.....she's gone now but I know she would have love to see this again and again.
Watched this movie a dozen times as a kid. Miss the 80s man. Gen x had a great childhood.
Best fictional band of all time, I love Eddie Wilson!
I don't know. It is pretty hard to beat Spinal Tap.
Does Gorillaz count?
I love Eddie and the Cruisers but I also love the Wonders!
@@tommissouri4871 do you know what a fictional band is...Eddie and the Cruiser wernt real lol....

Such an iconic performance by Michael Pare, love this movie!
Damn, I haven't seen this in forever!
61 and still listening Best music ever
70 and I agree! I must have watched the movie at least 10 times.
40 + years later and still a classic :)
I saw this for the 1st time when I was 3. Some girls carried around baby dolls…. Others carried around the cassette tape with Eddie’s face on the cover. Yeah… I’m 41 now & he is still just as gorgeous!! 😍
The music in this movie was great. Yet it went unnoticed. Loved the movie and the music. Michael Pare did a great job. One of my other movies with great music was The Big Chill. Great movie

Just a bad ass song. I was 19. What a portal I just walked through. Thanks for that. ❤️✌️
One of the best of all time
Love this movie 0:42
Love this movie! I haven’t seen it in a long time! The soundtrack is incredible!
One of my favorite movies and songs. And, I mean, come on....Michael Pare....yum
yep J
Geeeezzzzeee he was so fine 😊
Love the sax solo! It completes this masterpiece
Such a great movie,this classic will always be in my top 10 movies
I remember watching this movie late one night when it came out and I swore it was Bruce Springsteen singing!
This song and movie were incredible!
That’s ok. I only learned THIS YEAR that it isn’t the Boss. My mom was so disappointed in me 😂😂😂
Same!!
Was a great movie back in the 80’s! Great soundtrack! Michael Pare was the best lip syncing artist ever! It was also a great beginning to Tom Berengers, aka Wordman’s career!!
No... Milli Vanilli was the best lip sync😅
No... Milli Vanilli was the best lip sync😅
Eddie and the cruisers should be in the rock n roll hall of fame
A hard memory from my youth here. Long live Eddie
Gotta listen to this song at least once a week!
Boy that brings back memories.
I love On The Darkside....and I love Eddie and the Cruisers and Eddie Lives
That was a really good movie 🎥 back in the olden days 😂I’ve seen The Beaver Brown Band a couple of times. I’m from New England and during that time we all clubbing EVERY weekend to see who was playing live!!
🏊
love this song... Micheal Pare good actor and cute!!!!!
i have had a crush on Michael forever. Smoothhh and oh so sexy.
I have 3 boys that are now 30 27 and 25 and I had them watch this when they were teens and they still love the songs from this movie, which is rare anymore now it's rap or country but there are amazing songs from this movie and band..
RIP My Brother Paul, this will always be our Song & our Argument that Eddie IS NOT REAL - I love you!
This song makes me go crazy!!!
One of the best movies I've ever seen ❤
The whole album is great and is timeless .it will be around for ever.
I'm ready to rewatch this movie. It's been over 20 since the last time I watched it
Eddie still lives!!!!
I grew up with this music. I love it
I grew up with that music 🎶 too
I had these DVDs til they were stolen. Watched them once a week..will buy again if I can find them. I want an Eddie.
Saw them in WI in concert. Was one of the mist memorable concerts i was at! They were little known then. But sure caught alot of attention!
So you saw John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band
STILL LOVIN THIS 😊
Love this movie & the album..John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band 🤘💯❤️
Eddie and the cruisers was a good movie an 80s classic lost in time
Those were the great days compared to naw. Great music ❤
