Top Gun:1986 to Top Gun Maverick:2022. 36 Years Later and this song still became a hit
Both films are incredible and having the song in both is awesome. For once a sequel just as brilliant as the original.😊
"Talk to me, Goose."
"I feel the need...the need for speed."
Amber - Top Gun volleyball scene is a must watch.
Agreed 🔥💦😁
@@mattbecham597 you are right - this probably wasn't the appropriate forum for my comment - however, I am not sorry for appreciating the human body in all its many varied forms
I concur 👍❤
Oooh, THAT'S where that's from... I heard it in Borderlands 2 (close enough, anyway) and thought "huh... He says that like it's a reference to something, but idk what." :D
Sade is another great female artist from the '80s. "Smooth operator" and "sweetest taboo" are probably her most well known songs
Both of those songs are good for getting frisky to
Don’t forget “Your love is King”
No Ordinary Love as well
And 90s. She’s an icon.
@Joseph Durham, Sade is so good she seduced a headbanger like me with her sweet style...☺
I love all of her songs but what started playing in my head just now is *"Paradise*"
Must turn in my Metal card and go find that record of Bluegrass artists covering Metallica...
Just joshing, how could I turn my back on Dio??
S.W.
This song was my wife’s and my first dance song at our wedding. ❤️
I’m not one to tell people what they need to do, but y’all need to watch “top gun” 🤗
They have the movie. A subscriber sent it to them.
Agreed 👍
@@chriso6719 that's brill 👍 love the flight scenes stops it being unwatchable and cheesy 😁
@@sarablack2547 it was the 80's 🤣🤣
@@ryanawilson8549 I know was teenager foe most of it definitely a different role foe tom after risky business and legend.
She was 23 when Berlin did this. She's in her 50's now and still looks and sounds great. This isn't the official video for the song. That one gives you a better grasp of the movie and you get to see Terri Nunn and Berlin. It was shot in a military aircraft "graveyard" and you can see the emotion in her performance. The song won the Oscar for song of the year.
Another choice for Female Friday: 'Til Tuesday - "Voices Carry"
Aimee Mann, the lead singer, is amazing. Aimee also has a solo career.
Aimee Mann is A PLUS PLUS!!!
Oh man. Voices Carry. Definitely.
Excellent choice, I love Voices Carry
I love that one. Good rec!
I LOVED that when it came out!!!! (shows how old I am lol)
Martika "Toy Soldiers." You'll immediately figure out why I threw this one at ya.
Seriously, y’all haven’t seen Top Gun? My son was born in ‘94 and he watched that movie every day for about a year. “You Lost That Loving Feeling “ was in the movie and at 2 yrs old, he could sing every word.
That is seriously sweet of him hope you have a video of that to remember and obvs your parental right to show his partner 😁
@@sarablack2547 I certainly do! He also would sing “-Unchained Melody” but he called it, “Oh My Love, My Darling”. The first time he performed publicly he sang “My Heart Will Go On”. He’s always loved music starting piano at the age of 5. He is now a musician and very accomplished in many instruments. Super proud!
@@Almcingrid3663 that's fabulous! He's so lucky to found something he loved and was good at and willing to put the work in that has lead to success and being able to continue with what he loves some people never have that! I'm glad your proud of him who wouldn't be? 🙂👍
You gotta see the movie! TOP GUN!
Top Gun 2 Coming up this Christmas finally
Please do the female singer “Sade” (sha-day) and the song “Smooth Operator” as soon as you can. Lots of saxophone, and an awesome voice.
I really think you guys should try Alannah Myles "Black Velvet" one friday. I think you guys will really like it.
They will both like that
I was thinking about that song a few comments back, but couldn't remember the name! One of *those* moments... I'm glad you thought of it first, and I agree wholeheartedly!
@@TiptonMama lol I can see Jay now with the stink face, poppin' to the beat. Amber just swaying to the grove.
@@silentrage5425 J will like it. Bluesy. rich voice with range. He will like it just as much.
Still one of my all time favourite songs
This is the 100% accumulation of ROMANTIC 80'S!!! This is the BEST of the BEST!! SO EXCITED!!
Berlin had a lot of classic new wave hits in the 80's; "The Metro"," No More Words", "Tell Me Why", "Masquerade", "Like Flames". This was their biggest hit, but also their most restrained (by far).
Terri Nunn's voice is still a powerhouse, though. Before this band, she came to Hollywood to be an actress; one of the roles she tried out for was Princess Leia in "Star Wars" (which of course went to the late Carrie Fisher).
Check out their earlier songs; they are much more upbeat.
"Sex (I'm A...)" speaks for its self!
@@willfromyadkinville ; I thought about this, but the video and subject may be a bit risqué for what they're doing here.
Don't get me wrong; I'm a fan of that song, too. :)
Agreed. 'No More Words', 'Masquerade', 'Tell Me Why' and 'The Metro' are much better. I think I still have the actual albums. 'Take My Breath Away' is my least favorite Berlin song.
@@kellypedersen6590 i thought about it to before i posted tough call no doubt. they kinda changed after take my breath away but it was all good!
No More Words is still a song I rock out to whenever I hear it. Dancing in Berlin & Fall are also good.
This was one of my Mom's favorite songs. My Mom had a beautiful contralto voice, and my entire life was full of music and her singing. ❤ She's in heaven now, but this song made me smile so big, thinking of her singing along with it in the car. Thanks guys 😊✌
Per other requests, kd lang is a must-listen. Constant Craving -- get it.
Never cared for that song.
The one and only song by K. D. That I truly like. "Constant Craving" is a great song that really exhibits K. D. Lang's talent as a singer. I would highly suggest you give it a listen
"Miss Chatelaine"
That song is outstanding, and I don't even like kd lang. Everybody gets one.
Gosh, I haven't heard that song in a long time. Will have to listen to it today for a refresh.
Tears my heart out every time 🖤
This is the romantic song from the movie. The movie itself is excellent, and it has a great soundtrack. Make sure you try Kenny Logins - Danger Zone. It’s the main theme from the movie and has a much faster pace.
Anything by Kenny Loggins but yeah.. soundtrack king right there 😂
I forgot that Kenny Loggins was singing in it and it fantastic, Danger Zone.
I also liked Kenny Loggins - Playing With The Boys and Miami Sound Machine - Hot Summer Nights.
The real video isn't completely movie centric.
I believe he prefers K Log these days
Giorgio Moroder wrote and produced this song and No More Words for Berlin. He's a massive hit maker. Blondie's Call Me, All of Donna Summers hits, Flashdance by Irene Cara.. He's a LEGEND!
I didn’t know this! Now I need to check out more of his work. Thank you!!!
I did not know that!
Another song from Top Gun is "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins. This would be more Jordan's type of song. I like both songs but "Danger Zone" is what he would call a BANGER!!
@Susan Campbell, Kenny Loggins has some serious freakin' awesomeness going on, and *"Danger Zone"* shows it off in spades; I also highly recommend *"I'm Alright"*
from the Caddyshack soundtrack and *"Footloose"* from the movie of the same name. *"Whenever I Call You Friend"* is a sweet tune I think both Amber and Jay will like as much as I do.
I never got into music from his previous incarnation with Loggins and Messina though if I go listen to some of their stuff something might ring a bell...
Thanks☺
S.W.
Both songs were written for the movie by Giorgio Moroder, who is best known for his work with Donna Summer. The lyrics to "Take My Breath Away" were written by Tom Whitlock, who once fixed Moroder's Ferrari. The official video of the song has cuts of vocalist, Terri Nunn performing the song around a plane in the desert. A whole scene of "Top Gun" was shot to go with the song. Moroder considers this his best work. And it won both an Oscar and a Golden Globe award.
This is the most commercial of Berlin. By the time this was recorded, the band was breaking up. Had the privilege of seeing Terri sing locally about 15 years ago. Still sounded great. I'd take a deeper dive into their songs. Definitely more upbeat and 80s.
A contemporary of Berlin was Missing Persons. Dale Bazzio's voice is emblematic of the 80s female electronic pop sound.
Dusty Springfield-Son of a Preacher Man. Etta James-At Last.
Dusty's "Son of a Preacher Man" is going to blow their minds, whenever they get to it!
They should do Soundtrack Saturday! The Pulp Fiction soundtrack is one of my favorites.
Every week someone requests an Etta James song and every week they keep ignoring it. It's so discouraging because Etta James is beyond words one of the most incredible singers you're ever going to have the luck to hear. If they ever do break down and listen to her I strongly advise they listen to a live recording, like the one she did of "I'd Rather Go Blind" at Montreux in 1975.
Yes, yes, Etta James, what a singer.
Sade is also AMAZING for "Female Friday"... Try her 2011 live version of "No Ordinary Love"... It is INCREDIBLE... Better than her original version, and I loved the original!!!😮😮😮❤❤❤
The Pretenders-Brass In Pocket would be a great choice for Female Friday, thank you for all great tune reviews :)
The Pretenders "Dog and Butterfly"
I cannot believe they have not listened to this. Cryssie Hynde is beyond brilliant. her singing with Rod Stewart is just devine
I'll Stand By You
Hymn to her is also very good
Sooo it’s the summer of “86 greatest time of my life…my daughter was born, I saw the ThunderBirds and my all time fav movie came out TOPGUN…this was the theme song…peace
A shame ya didn't get to see the official music video with the band, just because the singer is kinda unique looking. Also, when they perform this live, the singer always goes out into the audience which is kinda neat.
I was thinking the same thing. The video that was put together was distracting, the official video is better. You can pay attention to the words better.
Another beautiful song...Love Berlin Terri Nunns vocals and style was just awesome...Of course with the classic movie Top Gun...Thanks, Peace
Loved that movie. Tom Cruise as Maverick. They're bar pick up scene priceless. J would love the movie, it's not just a love story. It's a man's movie too. You've got me wanting to watch it again
This song won an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1986. Big song on the radio.
Hi Rob Squad.... Berlin was a band that only had a handful of songs and this was their most popular one . To watch the movie does add to the effect of it . Their first hit I remember was called "Metro" was on MTV in the 80's and did get decent air play from radio stations back then . I am glad you both gave "Take My Breath Away" a listen and liked it . Not a female voice but a really great sing from Glen Frey "You Belong To The City" I really think you both would probably Love it.... Horns from beginning to the end . Thanks for your channel
This was a huge hit in the summer of 1986. The love theme from Top Gun. One of my all time favorites!
NENE - 99 Luftballons.......another choice for Female Friday
"No More Words" is a faster tempo Berlin song.
And has some good power
"The Metro" is great as well!
I agree it's a great song. I also like the follow-up to this, "You Don't Know".
Classic 80's
"What we need is speed". But my favorite quote is, "Hey Goose, you big stud. Take me to bed or lose me forever."
I feel the need, the need for speed 🤘
@@maverick2242 Haha such an appropriate name also🤣
Classic Meg Ryan.
Goose... what a great character...shame what happened to him
Talk to me goose 😂
Have to add a plus 1 for Til Tuesday, "Voices Carry!" It's an haunting song which a young Aimee Mann performed masterfully.
Totally different genre, but another legend who broke out in 80s, and unique/no one else like her, should listen it Anita Baker. Amazing voice and songs
Metro
I've just been rediscovering her! I love her songs so much.
great Friday choice or any other day
@@leephillips2837 any day ending in “day” great for AB tunes
I agree her song body and soul is 🔥
Some of those movies y'all mentioned....I'm about to load up my DVD's and head your way!
This is from the movie Top Gun which someone sent to you.
Also from this movie that you should hear is Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins.
Berlin and another big one with ‘The Metro’ - that one is 🔥🔥🔥
I love the song. Wished you had watched the original video that has the group Berlin actually in in it.
U look great Amber!!! That colour looks great on u. U look radiant & happy. Sending love to u & the fam from the Great Southern Land ♥️♥️♥️
Amber....I love you and Jordan, Top Gun is about naval pilots, it's about the friendship between him and Goose, his rival pilots for the Top Gun trophy, it's about Goose's family, it's a love story between him and his Top Gun instructor, which is who the woman in the video is, and it's about what our service members do in defense of our country, and the politics that go with that. I have found if you pay attention, just about every movie, tv show, book, or even song has multiple in levels in or stories in it. I hope this helps expand your perceptions a bit.
I’ve literally heard this song dozens of times and never knew who it was! I love it! You guys are adorable! 🌺✌️
Two people in the same room where at least one hasn't seen Top Gun.......I'd like to know the odds on that.
I haven't seen it....not a Tom Cruise fan :-)
@@susancampbell6186 probably because you haven't been Top Gun lol..Rain Man is phenomenal too!
My friend Joel took pride in not having seen Top Gun. I followed his lead. Never saw Titanic, Jurassic Park or Lion King. Turns out not seeing movies is as much a conversation starter as seeing them. One really doesn't need to see blockbusters, media will fill you in.
@@joshuapeterson6072 Generally, the bigger the blockbuster the more likely I won't see it since general audiences have horrific taste in movies but Top Gun is a must, especially with the sequel coming out in a couple of months. I see, maybe, one movie a year in the theatres (two in a big year) and I'm looking forward to Top Gun II in the theatre. If the first movie happens to be released in the theatre as a lead up you should see it on the big screen.
@@joshuapeterson6072 Movies are more than just for conversations. The thrills of Jurassic Park can't be experienced through words alone.
Berlin was excellent back in the day. So many good songs.
Another great Berlin song is The Metro, Also, the song Boys In Town by The Divinyls, and a different one from the same time period, the song I Can't Wait by Nu Shooz.
It's perfectly ok to say a particular style of song isn't for you. I admire your honesty J, other reactors should take note. There's no denying she can sing, and it's a simple but beautiful harmony. Some will love this , while others won't. That's music
This is an awesome song. The official video is powerful. When Top Gun came out in 1986 I think I saw 3-4 times in the theaters
I love you guys. Watch all day long at work. I love how your girls look like one of each of you. Congratulations on baby Luca, he is beautiful. You can see how much you two love each other, when you look at each other. 💕
Kenny Loggins also has a song in this soundtrack and is one of the artists in We Are The World you haven't reacted to yet. 😉
Kenny Loggins 👌🏼👌🏼
He has so many great songs!
Great movie. this song was played almost end to end on the radio when the movie was in full run.
Top Gun is a movie you’ll both enjoy. It’s got action, tragedy, the love story, a great mix. Definitely watch it. Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Val Kilmer, a bit of Meg Ryan.
Also mentioned in the Comments is k d lang, a great Canadian singer. She performed at the closing ceremonies, of the 2010 Olympics, here in Vancouver BC. The song she sang, was Hallelujah, an amazing rendition of a Canadian classic.
Its a beautiful love song. NEvermind anythign else. Just listen and feel
"I feel the need, the need for speed."
"This ain't good Mav"
Berlin did many amazing songs. Like Flames. No more words very up beat.
Personally I liked Anthony Edwards character Goose most and Meg Ryan 💗
Sade - Smooth Operator, No Ordinary Love & Sweetest Taboo
The song is the love song for Top Gun. If Jordan wants a great jam from the movie soundtrack , I would recommend Kenny Loggins “Danger zone”. That’s got great guitar!
Well written, delivered perfectly by Berlin. The song appears 4 times in the 1986 movie "Top Gun". I saw it the theaters, great film. Love her voice.
❤❤❤❤ love it
Oh y’all gotta see the movie! It’s not just a romance, it’s got guy stuff too! AND they’re continuing the movie all these decades later-and yes with a much older, current Tom Cruise still starring - can’t imagine which way they’re gonna go with it! You must see the first one soon- please- 🧡💜🤎✨👍
Beautiful song!
J&A, Try Quaterflash "Harden My Heart", female singer Rindy Ross has a great voice and plays saxophone!!!
I was in the army when this movie came out. Music forms a strong part of my identity and this song is right up there regarding my youth. Berlin was a one-hit-wonder band.
We had a little snack place not far from the barracks we were allowed to hang out at. It had a jukebox and April Wine, Just Between You and Me, just came out. We wore that 45 out.
If you watch the movie, You Must Give Us A Reaction explaining your feelings about Goose at beginning and end. Keep your tissues nearby , you will need them for many different emotions. Same goes for Officer and a Gentleman.(same era).
Kinda spoiler-y.
No more words is easily their best song and video !
Terri Nunn has an amazing voice. I saw her live and she was awesome. I would definitely suggest "The Metro," "Masquerade," "No More Words," and "Sex" by Berlin. All great tunes.
I also got to see Berlin Live as well and Terri's voice was amazing as well as the rest of the band. So sad they broke up.
Terri Nunn has one of the most amazing voices, and she's gorgeous.
After all these years, I still love this song. I’m disappointed it wasn’t the official video where it shows the band members. Just seeing the movie clips make it kind of lame.
THE song from "Top Gun" is "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins. It will pump you up. Military enlistments went up after this movie was released.
This is a great song. It even won an Oscar award for Best Original song for Top Gun.
Maybe try The Metro or No More Words both by Berlin if this was too slow for yall.
There is another version with her singing the song on and around an airplane that is better than the movie clip version.
Top Gun has a love story wrapped around the pilot training with some great fighter plane scenes. Berlin is a group.
What a voice! WOW!
Y’all have picked some great artists. I’d like to agree that Sade would be a good choice (“Cherish the Day” or “Sweetest Taboo”). Also, Anita Baker (“Giving You The Beat That I’ve Got”) or Lisa Fischer (“How Can I Ease The Pain”). Keep up the good job. It’s always enjoyable seeing people react to great music, and both of your reactions are always joyful to watch.
One of my favorite songs from the 90's, Thank you!1
Ah, Berlin!! This tune is an example of the slower side of the band; most of their songs are not balladlike at all...
The first song I heard from Berlin wax *"Sex (I'm A..)"* --adding that SAS as you might assume created a stir and some controversy when it cane out. Following this were four of my faves:
*"Masquerade"*
*"On The Metro"*
*"No More Words"*
*"Tell Me Why"*
Berlin has a lot more out there, these are just the ones I like the best...
The two songs from female acts that come to my brain are :
*"Mandinka"* by Sinead O'Connor
*"I Want Candy"* by Bow Wow Wow
Oh wait, one more:
*"Buffalo Stance"* by Neneh Cherry (her brother Eagle Eye Cherry did that song "Save Tonight"* )
Thanks
S.W
Sex I’m A.
Love that song.
Also no more words
Mandinka was my introduction to Sinead - love it so much and her cover of Nothing compares to you. Have they reacted to The Cranberries yet?
@Kerryn Simmons, They have reacted to The Cranberries, but only to *Zombie* they have yet to sample the joys of *Dreams* or their wonderful cover of Fleetwood Mac's *Go Your Own Way* much less *Linger* but hopefully they will before long because as we know Jay & Amber will love them all the more as they do☺
@@steveweller3899 I’m a new subscriber after I saw their reaction to John Denver. Going through the catalogue now getting a sense of what they may like.
My favorite quote from the "Top Gun" movie: “Hey, Goose, you big stud! Take me to bed or lose me forever!” See if your coach knows this one. But I repeat other comments: Watch the movie!
I've always thought this was a beautiful song. As for Top Gun, the love story is one aspect of it, but there's more to it. It's more the personal journey of the main character (Maverick, played by Tom Cruise). A very good film that I highly recommend.
My song recommendation this time will be another on from Top Gun, this time one that I think will be more up Jordan's alley. "Danger Zone," by Kenny Loggins. I think you'll like that one.
Just found your channel... I'm happy I did. It's very rare to find genuinely kind souls on here. Your reactions are so pure and refreshing compared to other music reaction channels.
Curious if you two have explored 90's Trip Hop . Had a suggestion for Female Fridays.
check out Portishead - Roads (Roseland NYC) (HQ).
Thank you for sharing your light in these times.
Amber and Jay, BOTH of you will love Top Gun. It's one of those movies that has something for any gender to enjoy. It's the perfect balance between masculine and feminine energy. You really do have to see it.
BERLIN NO MORE WORDS
Ya'll have to listen to " Immortality "
Celine Dion and the Bee Gees.
Here's the link th-cam.com/video/bZolfKgW5Is/w-d-xo.html
I don’t know about other people, but something about this song just makes me picture flying through the air and all the amazing things about the movie.
The best song from this film was 'Danger Zone' by Kenny Loggins.
Loved Amber's comments on Tom here! The pre scientology Tom Cruise is a different creature than post scientology Tom - pretty much around the time this film came out he was being converted. He was a huge deal from Risky Business on... handsome, charming and back then he actually seemed like a sweet and somewhat humble guy. I think to understand why he was such a big deal, you need to not only consider his earlier roles, but that personality wise, he was projecting a sweet and positive energy about him. I was a tween but liked Tom when he first rose to fame. I have not liked Tom in a very long time.
That song sucked! This tune by Berlin and Giorgio Moroder was much better. Danger Zone was a cheesy pop song!
I like this song in a slow playlist to listen before going to bed. Back in the day, I would listen it on the late night ballads/soft rock/soft pop radio shows.
I still would love to see you react to Maria McKee-either solo (Show Me Heaven) or with Lone Justice (Sweet,Sweet Baby). She was discovered by Linda Rondstadt, and Dolly Parton has said she is the best female front for a band she has ever seen. She has a lot of great songs, but these are good intros.
And if you do happen to listen to “Show Me Heaven”, listen to the live Top of the Pops version. It is breathtaking.
Wow. I’m always asking reactors to check out Maria McKee - one of my all time favourite artists - I’ve never seen anyone else mention her and now there’s two references to her on this video. I’ve seen footage of Maria’s live performances from both the Lone Justice days and her solo work - amazing. Would love to have seen her live.
I think I agree w/Jay on this one. I kept waiting for something more -- that being said, she does have a great voice.
You gotta do KT Tunstall Big black horse and a cherry tree for next female Friday.
Loved Berlin back in the day, and it was all because of Terri Nunn's voice.
Musically this song is top notch, beautiful and nostalgic
You know love scenes work when you can watch it without sound and you totally know whats going on between the two leads
These movie videos are basically for fans of the movie to relive some of the moments. Without the context, it's just a bunch of meaningless random scenes, in which case the official video would have been better. You could have seen the band, etc.
This was all over the radio, back when I was a young dude. the original Top Gun film was bigtime. Thanks, guys, for this little reminder of my youth. Still watchin and loving ya from Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Go with God. Peace.
You need to react to "No More Words" or "Sex I Am..." to get the real flavor of Berlin. Terri Nunn is so good live!
I really like the power she brings to 'Like Flames'.
This is the type of song that they perfected in the eighties. Not usually a fan, but every once in a while, they hit gold, like this song.
Another artist you may really enjoy is Keb' Mo'. He has a new one out w/Darius Rucker, and has a great duet live w/Bonnie Raitt (No Getting Over You), but I recommend starting with 'Old Me Better.' It's a FUN song!
The Playing For Change video is neat!
Ohhhh I LOVE Keb' Mo' ❣
Another female artist from the 80s to check out is Kim Wilde (“Kids In America”). Also, Missing Persons (“Words,” “Destination Unknown”)
And for pure 80s fun, try “Mickey” by Toni Basil
Definitely watch movie! You’ll definitely get more emotionally attached to the song. Without the movie it is kind of a generic but beautiful voice love song. I know there’s videos out there with just the scene the song “you lost that loving feeling“ And it’s worth watching too. Love you both. Please get some sleep Amber. Glad you chose to listen to this. This was one Tom Cruise movie that launched him even further into the stratosphere as an actor and is a sex symbol. Before this risky business. Kelly McGillis, the woman in the video was actually his flight instructor and before this she was already considered one of the hottest sought after movie stars, especially by my brothers and most young men. Definitely late 80s and kind of sappy but you won’t regret watching top gun!❤️✌️✌️
The soundtrack from this movie is one of my all time favorites. Some great songs - Danger Zone probably my favorite (and the theme song for us defensive backs on my college football team in the mid-late 80s).
You are both always so very astute in your observations. I think you nailed it here in terms of song appreciation - the song is inexorably tied to the movie and the plot of the movie and fits perfectly, but without that context, I think it’s hard to “get it.” Whenever this song comes on, everyone I know looks at each other, nods, says “Top Gun,” and comments about how much they love this song as the love song for the romantic part of the movie. The flying action scenes are outstanding, btw. Can’t believe there are people alive who haven’t seen this movie! Lol.
Keep up the good work.
Sadly I saw them in concert when they were hot and they were T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E!!!
Not only did they sound awful but they seemed completely disinterested in being there. Since it was a venue that I hadn't been to before (and outdoors as well) at first I thought it was the sound system that was at fault. But they were the opening act for The Thompson Twins and when that band came on they were phenomenal, the sound was great and they were hugely entertaining.....so it was obviously them. Afterwards I heard the same reaction from a few other people who had seen them elsewhere. It's not a bad song but apparently a creation of the studio engineers.
Wow. The one time I saw them back in the day, they sounded great. Yes, some of the production tricks weren't there, but overall they sounded wonderful. Teri Nunn's voice was perfect. Maybe they were having a bad day when you saw them.
Thompson Twins were great live and would stay back and sign autographs. There’s some good footage of their concerts from the early days when they were still a seven piece on TH-cam. I only got to see them live when they hit it really big after Hold me now as a three piece.
You may well have caught them on a bad night. Apparently, there was a breakup between Terri Nunn and the male you see in the videos. He was the primary leader and musician, and I’m sorry I can’t recall his name right now. Berlin broke up for several years before reuniting. MTV or VH1 had a series where a guy went around trying to get members of groups back together. Sometimes he was successful, as in the case of Berlin. Sometimes he wasn’t. I’m thinking J. Geils Band was one of the failures, but I could easily be wrong. Does anyone remember who it was?
No More Words is a great one by them and the video is awesome! I always wanted her hair….
