    This is one of the best songs! It’s amazing, and I have loved this song since the first time I heard it in 1981.
    Most people will tell you in the comments section that they know this song from Family Ties which made this a number one hit in 1986-87

    at the end of 1981this song peaked at only no. 79. after many many years of fustration the band broke up. 5 years later the song song was featured in the tv series family ties. the song got people where can i get the song. it was re-released. on rhino records. the song ewent up the hot 100 and the adult comtemporary charts in janurary 1985 the song reached no.1 on both charts.

    What a difference from the standard peppy pop offerings from the 80's weighed down with synthesizers and drum machines. Billy's voice, the horns, the piano, the entire band, the soul and the heartbreak. A true standout. Thank you for bringing this one out of the shadows of time. Another trip in the sonic time machine. 🎷🎤🎶

    2 years ago i was volunteering at a charity fundraiser in Los Angeles for The Get Together Foundation. There was a music show as part of the event, it was held in a converted movie theater. The show theme was "One hit wonders". I was lucky enough to hear Billy Vera perform this song that night. He still sounded amazing! In fact i was mesmerized watching. This has always been one of my favorite love songs. Thanks for checking it out!

  • @martha6018

    I loved your reaction. The lyric that most gets me is when he sings "If you'd stay, I'd subtract 20 years from my life." I always thought of this as if he was 30 years old, for example, and she came back. If his destiny was to live 80 years, he would live until 60 to enjoy those 30 years with her!!!!

    In 1967 he teamed with gospel singerJudy Clay and hit the charts with "Storybook Children",
    considered to be the first interracial love song to chart in the USA.
    My fav of theirs is "Country Girl-City Man"

    I was in a relationship with someone I loved more than anything in this world and he cheated on Christmas Eve and broke my heart. I tried to forgive him but over time I realized that I could not trust him and I hated the wondering I was having if he was not home or I could not reach him for days so I had to walk away from him and my heart was shattered. I continued to love him for years and I could never listen to this song until 25 years had passed. I am grateful for that relationship as it taught me what I wanted and did not want from a relationship and I found the most amazing man and we are happily married. It’s unreal how much you can love another individual so deeply and my husband’s love has allowed me to let go of an unwanted love and cherish the deep love we share.

      There are two kinds of people in the world: The ones who think this is a pretty song and the ones who have had their hearts well and truly broken, feel every note and syllable, and still choke up when we hear it.

    As someone pointed out this became famous for being on the show Family Ties with Michael J Fox, they played it in a scene when Alex’s girlfriend is leaving and fun fact the actress who played the girlfriend is Michael’s wife and has been. So everytime I hear it I think of them dancing to this to close out the episode

      You are not kidding. The 70's have so many great songs that still hold up today. Perhaps one of my all-time favorites is Jay Ferguson's "Thunder Island." That song evokes the summers of my youth, young love, freedom, and hope.

    Convinced they had wrung all the cash out of this song they could for a few years, Billy was confronted by NBC to use the song in FAMILY TIES for Michael J Fox's prom scene. NBC bought the rights to the song and get all the royalties. Billy lost out when it hit #1 after the show and stayed there for weeks.

      Young people today are being prepared for A.I. Deep Fake pictures. CGI Movies without human actors. Music with no natural elements in it. As you stare at that "thing" in your hand that traces your every step and breath and collects information it's creators use to make money for themselves by marketing you to yourself every time you use it, it's best to remember that *No A.I. will ever feel anything at all.* That's not entertainment. That's putting up a great big sign in employment agencies around the world which states *No Humans Need Apply.*

She has stood by him through EVERYTHING - over the past few decades. This episode was the beginning of the romance in reel and REAL life.

      She is an amazingly generous human being. A friend of mine had a coworker whose son contracted cancer, she wrote a song I think called Ronan about his fight. I don't know her, but I respect the fuck out of her. Her music can come and go, but she has a heart of gold. The world needs more of her.
