Roxette were a pop duo from Sweden... this was from 1988, but the group took off in America in 1989... "It must have been love" was a Christmas song originally in 1987... but the producers of 'Pretty woman' wanted it for the movie, so the lyrics were changed a bit and Marie Fredriksson did new vocals. The song became their biggest single 🔥 Roxette carried on until 2016... sadly Marie Fredriksson succumbed to cancer in 2019 after a long battle (R.I.P. 😪)
Yesterday marked 2 years of the lead singer, Marie, passed away. React to more Roxette. They never disappoint. Listen to your heart, Fading like a flower and maybe The look. You'll get the all round feel and an idea of what they were about ❤️
When this group came out in America, I almost freaked out. I had known, and dated, a woman named Michele that could have been her exact twin. Ever since then whenever I hear one of their songs, there she is in my minds eye. Their song 'Listen to your heart' is a real memory booster for me.
This version is actually from 1990. But the original version is from 1987. Called "It Must Have Been Love (Christmas for the Broken Hearted)". There's a (much simpler) video for that one also.
I'm 37 and I just watched pretty woman for the first time this year lol. I actually liked the movie! 80s had a lot of good female bands, most were one hit wonders, but some made lot of hits. Pat Benatard Cindy Lauper Jone jett and black hard and much more.
In the US this song was released in 90 when the movie Pretty Woman came out. It was originally released in 87 in Sweden where this band is from. I saw them in concert in 12 in SF and they were a tight, phenomenal band. I won the ticket from a radio call in contest.
80's suggestions? I Like To Rock by April Wine. They have a great in-studio video of them playing it live. I've always loved how they hand off the three guitars, each with its own sound, and how the style of the playing all weaves together.
The song was written in the 80s and released in Sweden as a Christmas song. Per Gessle (on guitar there) took out the Christmas related lyrics and re-released it when the Pretty Woman producers asked them to write a track for the film. So the song is older than the film.
You can't go wrong with this band, Roxette was not her name it was Marie the guitarist was the first singer they were friends at the time, but she was in the band later they started dating, and then got married they were best friends and madly in love till she passed away from cancer he never left her side he cleaned, dressed, fed and made sure she took her medicine they were the love of their lives. Good Man. RIP Marie. Please play more Roxette. Much love to you and your family.
what? Marie and Per were not married! They were friends. She sang in backing vocals in his band. Later Per transleted his swedish songs to english and they started a band (Roxette) with Marie as lead vocal.
Touchstone Pictures approached Roxette and their label about contributing a song to the soundtrack of the upcoming romantic comedy release Pretty [Word for Female starting with a "W"], starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts.
So sad that she recently passed away. Absolutely love Roxette and Marie Gustafson ..... super popular in the late 80s and early 90s. This song was the theme song to Pretty Woman.
I was fortunate to see here last concert. She had the voice. But had to sit down for a part of the show. She fought the cancer into the last, but she lost 😞
This was the love theme in Pretty Woman. Roxette was a Swedish pop rock duo, consisting of Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle. Sadly Marie passed away in December 2019 from a brain tumor. Check out this live version of the song... m.th-cam.com/video/e6o24UVMMvw/w-d-xo.html
hi guys, only new to your channel, im a dj in Ireland, if your looking for songs or clips to react to ? really enjoying the vids, keep up the good work.. merry Christmas from Ireland
R.I.P. Marie! What a voice! They were huge in Europe (where I come from). It’s so sad that she left that early! I saw her on her last concerts. She hardly couldn’t move because of of her brain cancer… but her voice was still breathtaking. when she sang that song the thousand people were quiet like I never heard it before, this was such a moving moment I will never forget
This song was originally supposed to be a X-mas song with other lyrics.. but Per Gessle got a request for a song to the Movie Pretty Woman and re-wrote the lyrics which resulted in this version.. He is one he.. of a songwriter !!.. R.I.P. Marie, but also to Pelle Alsing.. the drummer who passed away only one year after Marie.. He was a sweet soul, I used to meet him at the local cafe/kiosk Cafe Brasco here in Stockholm !! Thank you for the Music !!
T!! You have heard this if you watched Pretty Woman...and you're right about it being part of the montage too! It's at the end of the movie when they go back to their seperate lives. "Joyride"...check it out. 🤩
Hi Mr. T., Your beautiful bride looked up the year of the Movie, she stated 1997, U immediately said 'okay there U have it, its an 80's song', huh?? How does that work?? ♠Mr.G..
One of the greatest voices ever, RIP Marie
She was a powerhouse in her voice
She made it seem so effortless tbh

Such an almighty tragic loss when she was taken from us by that bastard cancer.
RIP Mary Fredricksson ✨

Another good one from them is "listen to your heart" it's the official video but it is live✌️
my fave of theirs
Alla Mina Basta Ar/ Two Swedes with great love & respect for one another.
I love the chorus when they all sing together

Powerful love classic song
Beautiful Woman, Beautiful Singer! Miss her. RIP Marie!!!
The 9th December 2019, Marie Fredriksson died after 17 years fighting against brain cancer. Two years without Marie.😭😭😭
One of my fav songs from Roxette! I sung this song at a singing competition🎙️many years ago 😁still a great one!
In the US this song was released in 90 when the movie Pretty Woman came out. It was originally released in 87 in Sweden where this band is from.
I saw them in concert in 12 in SF and they were a tight, phenomenal band. I won the ticket from a radio call in contest.
A good one to add to the list would be When in Rome "The Promise" you will love it
80's suggestions? I Like To Rock by April Wine. They have a great in-studio video of them playing it live. I've always loved how they hand off the three guitars, each with its own sound, and how the style of the playing all weaves together.
One of my all times fave groups. Such talent.
This is off the soundtrack to "Pretty Woman"!
This song is from 1990. It was on the soundtrack of Pretty Woman
The movie "Pretty Woman" was released in 1990.
So something for both of y'all. React to Vixen - Edge Of A Broken Heart. All female hair band you will enjoy
The song was written in the 80s and released in Sweden as a Christmas song. Per Gessle (on guitar there) took out the Christmas related lyrics and re-released it when the Pretty Woman producers asked them to write a track for the film. So the song is older than the film.
before Aviici and Swedish house Mafia was a thing, Roxette was the 2nd biggest music export from Sweden. (only ABBA was bigger)

What the hell is this fantasy you've dreamt up? Marie and Per were never romantically involved. They both married in the early 90s.
Haha :P she was married to Mikael Bolyos when she passed away. They got married in 1994.
I love Roxette and Modern Talking!!!!

You MUST try "The Look" song by Roxette! Thanks for sharing this reaction!
I am 43, male, but even as a child I loved this song. It just had so much bittersweet feeling to it! I loved it. ☺️
Hi Mr. T., Your beautiful bride looked up the year of the Movie, she stated 1997, U immediately said 'okay there U have it,

Richard Gere is from my hometown. Outside of Syracuse NY.
But it’s over now. Thank you 1000% for this.
Nice one to react to Roxette, Greetings from Córdoba Argentina. I loved the chemistry between you two
I love a woman with a big voice.....RIP Marie.
I am fan of Roxette, great song...!!
It's make out music...
Great song
My Roxette's fav ballad is Spending my time. Masterpiece.
I seriously can’t listen to this song without almost crying tbh. RIP :(
Man I remember being a kid in the 80's. These 2 were so good. Love this group. She had such a great voice. RIP Marie.
R.I.P peace to that beautiful lady.
