The 114 disllikers obviously don't appreciate the brilliance of this amazing English group and how many groups are still going from the 80s I am 41 and this is my favourite group timeless music and very talented men
Peter Cox always have the good looks of a big screen matinee idol in the likes of James Dean, Rudolf Valentino, Alain Delon, etc. Their popular 80’s songs always remind me of my youth!♥️
I'm usually up on pop culture and music. It love to know why a front man with chops like that, musicians and back up like that disappeared so quickly. This was bumping in Europe at the time. They have no idea the hype and inspiration it gave me when I was down. One of the ones that picked me up when I need a boost. It's one of those that will have you dancing, like no one is there. Cheers.
I heard this song around 2006 for the first time at work while listening to a clasic 80's radio station I liked and the beat never left my head, but I never knew the song or band name... Until Shazam helped me figure it out a year or two ago... This song is so 80's and the videos are so cheese but I love it so much. Even though I never heard it when it originally came out, it takes me back to better days when I was a kid...
One of the most underrated hits of the 1980's. They play it rarely here on Swedish radio (although it happens) but a lot more often in British and Irish radio I noticed. Anyway, no matter how stressed I am, if this song plays, I always remain in the car and listen til it ends.
In the mid '80's I was in college and after class I would walk to the city centre and drop into my favourite cafe for coffee. They had a tape playing that one of the girls had made at home, and this was on it. Hello Jill and Karen.
Now that was super cool dude singing right there..his mannerisms etc were spot on! And the other guy dancing...well, ladies, who doesn't like an almost naked very fit man in a see through plastic suit? 😁👍🏻😆
David Fisher Hey, is she really a friend of yours? I've had a crush on the lady since I've known GW, how is she doing now? Is she still involved someway in the music industry? Tell her she's extremely pretty. And could you tell if she's actually the backing singer in the first album, or just accompanied them to live performances, as I've read Mo Birch was the backing singer on the first album. I've been confused for long now. Thanks.
@@davidfisher667 Yeah i recently became friends with her on fb, and she seems just as fine as always, good to know her voice is still great. She shifted to Italy in the later part of her career, as I came to know recently. Does she still live in Italy or has shifted back to the UK? And thanks for replying Sir.
@@davidfisher667 And Mr. fisher I really would have never known her name, had you not made this comment. I'd given up looking for a name for the backup vocalist a long time ago. It is just nowhere to be found, might have been there in the original CDs and LPs which I dont have. Can't thank you enough sir, may god bless you.
On this day in 1985 {October 5th} Go West performed "We Close Our Eyes" on the U.S.A. nationally syndicated television program, 'Soul Train'... Earlier in 1985 on April 7th it peaked at #5 {for 1 week} on the United Kingdom's Official Top 100 Singles chart, and it stayed on the chart for fourteen weeks... And on the same 'ST' show the duo also performed "Don't Look Down", two months later on December 1st, 1985 it would peak at #13 {for 2 weeks} on the UK Top 100 Singles chart, and it spent ten weeks on the chart... Between 1985 and 1993 the London, England duo had thirteen records on the UK Top 100 Singles chart, one made the Top 10, the above 'We Close Our Eyes"... And from the 'For What It's Worth' department, the day the duo appeared on 'Soul Train' their "Eye to Eye" was at position #42 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart, but they didn't perform it on the show??? May Don Cornelius {1936 - 2012} R.I.P.
They did perform “Eye to Eye” on Soul Train. They also performed “We Close Our Eyes” as their, “come back later and play another one of your songs” (in Don Cornelius’ voice) song.

God the 80's were fucking amazing.
They were far better than that :P
Understatement!
An unforgettable band that was rarely heard on the radio!
you can't be talking about UK radio?...
Non so in 🇮🇹
@Kim Minseok which one?
@Kim Minseok GTA vice city is the one you're talking about
Yes here in U.K. they were on local radio constantly
"Go West" did some really epic songs.

complete agree with you, saludos! 58 and enjoying some much amazing music.
I think the dislikers went east
80s generation had the best dance moves for sure 🙂
No.
Absolutely 💯
@@GatMan5019you prefer twerking?
His voice is Amazing.
Agree
@Ronald Jordan It's not called "miming" it's called lip synching, and your punctuation sucks genius.
Look at the people all around. No phones in the air. Everybody’s dancing, and in the moment.
Yup!
exactily
Amen!!!!!
This takes me back to when I was actually happy. Alas it seems so very long ago.
Same as. Even the ‘dancing’ takes me back. It was just a simple drop of the shoulders coinciding with a bending of the knees, all to the beat 🤪
Sorry that you aren't happy today. I'm always happy listening to 80s music.
yeah like 40 years ago
Same here. Better times. I was in primary school when this song came out. Loved singing along to it on the radio with my brother 🎶
You Ain’t Lying
the era when music was great. i can listen to this all day. every day.
One of my absolute favorites! I can listen to this song for hours.
RIGHT?
Peter Cox a very underrated voice.
One of my favorite British bands of the '80s decade!
Really should have been massive
I think it was massive at the time.
It still is! 😂
Great song and band. Bring back the 80s ♥️.
Peter Cox always have the good looks of a big screen matinee idol in the likes of James Dean, Rudolf Valentino, Alain Delon, etc. Their popular 80’s songs always remind me of my youth!♥️
2024! I’m a 1988 baby and love this song! 🤗
I was born 1978 & I adore this song! It rocks!!
I was born 1978 & I adore this song! It rocks!!
I absolutely love this song 80's pop at it's finest. GO WEST!
Whose listening in 2024
And saw them perform a month ago. He's got a good voice live as well.
🤚
me :-) its genious, maybe with a bit diferent intro music ...
Me, its flipping awesome
Me ❤
This ROCKS! 🤬 I love musical people who never miss a beat. He's SUCH a FABULOUS singer ....oomph! Yas!!!!
He's just got a very masculine powerful voice. Love it ☺️
Vocal harmony between 3:00 and 3:10 is simply extraordinary for that kind of music. Great band.
Incredible music.
He's got powerful voice.
Peter Cox has an amazing voice, Go West's version of "What you won't do for love" is brilliant.
He made unique vocals without oversinging
absolutely underrated!
Everybody rockin and grooving and nobody up themselves
That was the 80s!!
He was such a cool artist of that time. what a great mover
I just want to thank Paul Rudd for remembering this duo in such a great way so recently.
I never thought Rudd got the dancing that good.
!!! Just saw that for the first time. 😂 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣 Thanks for mentioning it.
@@victaylor1 I thought he did great!

I think I'm hypnotized by his dance moves & voice.
But it's not a bad thing !
a positive sound of the eighties! very inspiring!
I was looking for this song for years. Thank you, Shazam.
I looove the way Peter Cox dance! hoho!
When being spastic was cool?
In call me videoclip fits well that dance, I love that song =), the best
This song is probably more relevant nowadays than it was back then even.
Loving the 80s feels throughout this
I'm 44 and living my second life through the lenses of an 80's era, my friend. Finally, living the dream.
One of my favorite groups of all-time. Much underrated group.
Boy oh boy!!! I used to snap my neck to this in the bars. This was a jam.
I remember watching this on TV with my brother.
Peter Cox 🥰🥰🥰
That’s some shoulder droppin’ right there 🕺
Let's not start about shoulder pads though. The trend of the 80s... everything you bought had them.
That chorus gives me goosebumps!
So much energy...love it!
Here I am! I simply love this song! ❤️✌️
Temasooooooi. Muy buena Canción. Vivan los 80’s 🇨🇱🇬🇧
I'd forgotten how gorgeous he was
ぶっちぎりてカッコいいです、本当に⤴️💨🙆💪

Another one of my favorite duo back in the days...two gorgeous guys that rocked my world..luv luv Go West ❤️
Got to love the 80's they were the best of times!!!!
mi buen gusto por la música me trajo aquí
Saw them in concert at The London Palladium on Sunday night and they were great!
Thanks. Good 80s song.

Anyway, no matter how stressed I am, if this song plays, I always remain in the car and listen til it ends.
I remember in the 90's some radio stations had King Of Wishful Thinking on repeat.
Still can't believe we had a music program that had the actual artists "perform" but really just mimed to the music.
Handsome singer😍😍😍
Don't look like that no more
my favorite song
got to love the 80's!!!
A very good song
Peter Cox dislocates his shoulder in 3...2...1...
Just heard this song in the 80's film demons had to look it up
One of my favourite songs
Que nostalgia genera está canción a pesar que no había nacido 😢
Es la nostalgia que anhelamos y se vuelve hasta real aunque no vivimos en esa época.
Legends
Nací en diciembre de 1981 la mejor época de la música en inglés tenía 3 años cuando tema circulaba en las radios.
Such an underrated band. You can’t tell so much in this clip, but Katie Humble has a beautiful set of pipes. Strong singer ❤️
This is awesome!
In the mid '80's I was in college and after class I would walk to the city centre and drop into my favourite cafe for coffee.
They had a tape playing that one of the girls had made at home, and this was on it.
Hello Jill and Karen.
I used to think they were an American pop duo. But alas left with egg on my face. However his voice and their music was so brill. Miss the 80s.
i love the guitar part! lol
Dang hes like the martial artists 80s dance funk 😂 whata hunk 😍😍😍
Great sound on this video
Mannnn. They were such a good group. Have most of the vinyl on 12inch. Love peter's,voice.
Live this song since 1986 !!!!!!
what a track
Now that was super cool dude singing right there..his mannerisms etc were spot on! And the other guy dancing...well, ladies, who doesn't like an almost naked very fit man in a see through plastic suit? 😁👍🏻😆
I'm sure my comment was intended for another video on TH-cam!! Not this one?!
Amazing sounds great in 2024
Talent
Excelente canción me trae gratos momentos del ayer gran tema
I used to play this over and over and still sounds great now
Great times and a very good friend of mine backing singer with Go West Katie such a great singer in her own right x

She is a friend and still looks the same a little older like us all but her voice is still as good today as ever and still sings .

I'm sure it can't be true, but this reminds me of endless happy summers!
Just watched Pretty Woman movie and it brought me to this ! Ain't life grand?
I just crushed that Peter Cox is not rocking that gig in his vest and pipe wrench!!
First time I ever saw him in the video for this song with the wrench I nearly fell off my chair he's absolutely gorgeous. I was eighteen at the time.
How much more fucking 80's can you get than this.....

What a tune I love 💕 the 80s

It was rare for anyone to sing or play live on TOTP .. However I have seen GO WEST many times and they are brilliant.
I remember the sledgehammer in the video, It's a real good song!
