@@hachiroku8677 true, but I liked what a lot of the 80s artists were doing with that sound early on. For me, it became cheesier and less creative a bit later.
You have great taste in music. This song was playing on the radio after I asked my cute girlfriend to marry me..... that was August 1980. We were married on the First Day of Spring 21 March 1981.
I’m 68 now but I remember this like it was yesterday ! The tune stays in my mind. The whole 70-80s were full of great soft rock hits. With lyrics you aren’t ashamed of singing aloud around kids. Blessings everyone be safe!
I was 12 when this came out and despised this song as it somehow represented to me the heralding of a _new era_ of music and the erasure of the beloved 60-70s pop and soul I had come to treasure. (funny how children develope such arbitrary values lol) After the past couple of decades of cynical debaucherous lyrics and soulless synthetic instrumentation, I truly recognize the brilliance of this and many other songs from that long gone era.
At 58, this was my kind of music growing up in the 80's, such fond memories when music was made with real voices, real instruments and real singers, not anything manufactured like today's genre.
I'm 32, apparently a lot younger than most of the commentators here. Although I love older music I didn't know this masterpiece until today and I'm totally in love 😮
What can I say, listening to this gem reminds me of growing up in the 70’s and 80’s…still being transported to a state of bliss love this music..awesome!
This song reminds me of my childhood and just how good we had it in those days. America was a half way decent place to live in back then. The 70's and 80's man i thank God for it!!!!
Same for my wife and I. Our first date was on 29 Feb 80, Leap Year Evening and a blind date. We were married on the 1st Day of Spring, 21 Mar 81. 40 years
I was 14 when this was in the charts, the year when music started to actually matter to me. I'm instantly transported back by my musical time machine now I've heard this for the first time in probably 35 years
The soft rock of the 70's that then crossed over into the early 80's was the best music of my life with artists like Robbie Dupree, Paul Davis, Ambrosia, Little River Band, Dan Fogelberg, Christopher Cross, the Orleans, etc. etc. etc.
I'm in my 60 now. I was in my late 20s when this song came out. I loved it then, and still today it sounds just as fresh and wonderful as it always did.
So sweet. Like old friends these songs from this transitional era between decades (also, Christopher Cross, Roger Voudouris, Doobie Brothers, Stephen Bishop) bring back dear memories.
Great one hit wonder in 1980....reminds me of my friend Sue who I had such a crush on....we stayed friends until she died suddenly at age 40 from a brain annyerism..I still miss her, but I have songs 🎵 and movies to remind and remember me of the friendship we had and the good times we had
How many of us are still listening to this in September 2020. It would be so nice to just steal away and get out from underneath this quarantine and have life the way it used to be. Everyone please stay safe
Retro music is so good because we are able to reminisce our memories from them. And this feeling of being nostalgic, remembering the times when we were young, wild and free is just so excruciatingly indescribable, no words can truly explain it. And that's why it's so beautiful. Heard this song on the radio again while cruising down the highway on a cool Friday night. And Friday nights used to be the time to go down to clubs, meeting new people, having a drink or two and soaking in some love memory. When we were young.
I remember when I was a kid, we lived in this big house in Aurora,CO that was two stories with a full sub floor, the house had an intercom system in it with a built in radio so you could play music through all the speakers, I remember playing in the bathtub as an 8 year old back in 81 and hearing this song piping through the intercom. Such a simpler time when we could just be kids, Part of me would give anything to go back, but I know it would never be the same, I'd have to have my brain wiped first.
This song just flew into my brain out of nowhere. Stored safely in my bank of songs from when I was 7 and also listening to the radio when we got our baths. And Solid Gold, and Casey Casum ❤
Im 14 years old in 1980 when this song came out living in Pomona ca as a skinny little kid on my yellow plastic GT skateboard 🛹 good times good memories forever...
This is SO MAGICAL...I haven't heard it since I was a child. It totally captivated me in the early 80's. It's funny because I had never known love, I was too young at the time. But I think we are wired like that, to recognize and identify with it, and soon seek that wonderful, precious, crazy thing for ourselves.
Classic Station while on midnights. Reminds of the Night Crew leader. I was like 22 and he was in his 50's. The night crew were all young bucks. Rest in peace Joel.
I played this song 🎵 on the jukebox in a bar at least three times last night and most of the bar was singing 😅😅😅😅.I got drunk drinking beer and sung this song 🎵 real loud😂😂😂with nephew and friend who were also plastered.1980!!
when music was music. this is a great song I listened to growing up. i am 57 songs like this and other groups like steely dan and ambrosia were comforting to me.
Well! My last day of a week long cruise is what brought me here. It’s early morning, I got my coffee, went to the top deck, this was playing as we were approaching Miami and I started thinking about all of my life choices! Here I am about to leave Miami and go back to my stressful job in New York! Man! I Really did not want to leave. 😞
@user-fj1pq8me7w Well it was a female babysitter although even though she wasn't the prettiest lady in the world,I can think of worse things to have happened to me. I don't think she deliberately wanted me to get a message from the song. It was on the radio a lot because it was a current top 10 hit.
I can think of many great things that happened during that era. The one and only my beloved Prince emerged into greatness, he was so young then. The British invaded our shores again led by Boy George and Culture Club and brought terrific music with them. The Warriors, one of my fave movies, and Alien premiered back then too. Funk music was also hot back then. Clubs were jumping. Sadly thats were that dreaded disease spread and claimed a lot of talented people a decade later. The 80s were a fantastic time. This song still remains a favorite of mine.
I was 6 in 1980 but I remember this song on the radio back then, this is one of those special songs that transports you back to that moment in time, a masterpiece 💘
So I go to college and am currently dating a 22 year old. I played this while we were talking. Before you know it she was smiling, said it made her feel happy and wanted me to turn it up. She loves Robbie now lol.
It would be great if Michael recorded his version of this song. His voice would only make this song better. He practically deserves some writing credit for it.
I'm 46 I remember dancing with my mom to this song when I was 5yrs old.
Hi America
You know this is a sexual song right?
What a sweet memory! Thank you for sharing that. Should be a scene in a movie.

So what? Its what human beings do. Why do you need to make it something perverted. Maybe it your twisted way of thinking. @LJS01
There was a softness to pop music in the 70s/80s that I really miss. Real voices, real instruments, catchy hooks, it was a special time in music.
TOTALLY..and you could understand the words...
I agree totally.
I also feel pizza 🍕 and hamburgers 🍔 tasted better too.

Can't get enough of these soft rock hits. This one is one of my favorites.

Fast skate, backwards skate, ladies only skate, couples' skate...
I'm still learning to skate, and I once rollerbladed.
Ahhh good times, well worth the arthritis. 😂
Love 💕 it
That was exactly what I was thinking when this song started. In 1980 this WAS the couples skate song. I miss being 12 and ruling the rink!!!
"what a fool believes" always gets stuck in my head when I hear this song
Literally thought this was Steely Dan on my first listen, but have come to find a new artist, Satan Hail Yacht Rock!
Very similar harmony’s
it's too similar dude! xD i love more what a fool believes
Definitely a similar tune. Michael McDonald is like a higher pitched Robbie Dupree
Ooh yeah! Doobie Brothers, oh shucks now! You talking my language. Like this song By Robbie Dupree, too. Remember this playing on my radio.
59 y.o remember it like it was the day before yesterday... but thank you Waitrose

He was accused of ripping off that very song when this came out.
Yes Doobie Brothers
Its one of my all time faves and is so much like what a fool believes. Totally agree❤😂
KTSU-FM 90.9 Houston should acquire “Steal Away” by Robbie Dupree
Reminds me of someone I never stopped loving a long time ago. The one that I let go❤
Oh wow...care to share more? Sounds like there's a story worth telling.
I’m 57 going on 58 and I totally agree this soft rock is amazing … it’s a pleasure to listen to these 70 and 80’S tunes … ❤
I so look back on these songs '70s and '80s produce some great music now look at we got
The soft rock of the 70's that then crossed over into the early 80's was the best music of my life with artists like Robbie Dupree, Paul Davis, Ambrosia, Little River Band, Dan Fogelberg, Christopher Cross, the Orleans, etc. etc. etc.
Was 14 when I bought this record. Loved it so much then. Thanks Waitrose for the Xmas advert transporting me back to those great days of buying 45s😅❤
Such a magical time in soft rock.
Right on !
robbie Dupree dropped one of the coolest songs ever.
I love this song ❤❤❤
Wow, this song is still great. It was from back in the day when the lead singers could actually sing well . Miss those days!
shut the fuck up no one cares
Great 70 and 80 memories
Yes sad to say the soul in music had vanished we got lucky to have great music in our era cause now it's garbage total garbage
I'm in my 60 now. I was in my late 20s when this song came out. I loved it then, and still today it sounds just as fresh and wonderful as it always did.
Takes me back to summer '80!
Another Robbie Dupree song that takes me back to a time of my life i cherish the older I get.
Ur right Vin about Robbie Dupree great song Steal Away. Also love his song Hot Rod Hearts. A great time in music

Right!😂😂😂😂😂
Only a fool would believe that.
