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
Me too!
Me too!
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.
Omg ..Billy Vera and the Beaters! Great song!
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. 🎷🎤🎶
Oh my word I haven’t heard this in forever! I always loved it so much! Thanks for playing it!
This is truly a great song…Billy nails it…and those 4 Saxes are just filthy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😉
He sang tv themes as well. Empty Nest and King Of Queens. Love his voice.
Ohhh my, I remember this. Haven't heard it in a long time. Released in 1981 by Billy Vera & The Beaters. Resurged when used on TV show Family Ties.
Yes, beautiful song. I remember it from the TV show Family Ties
Oh my gosh I haven't heard this song in ages and it's still just as powerful as ever. That's some great music right there.
Sebs, so glad you found this gem. I've always loved this song, but I am embarrassed to admit I never knew the artist's name. 🤠
This song was HUGE in the 80's...and since then!!!! Great reaction. I love you do artists that aren't necessarily popular now. ❤
A truly great song that provided the soundtrack for my separation and divorce.
Billy has such an amazing voice! I absolutely love this song, loved it when it came out and still do to this day. This is what true music is.
One of my all time favorite songs
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!
We all fell in love with the song from Family Ties tv show.
One of my favorites!!! Real music.. real music. Was played on the sitcom when she broke up with him.. michael J fox. But in the end in real life they got married.
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 remember it from the Family Ties tv series. It was used perfectly ❤
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.
Beautiful 🎵
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
Here comes the dawn again- Billy Vera and The Beaters. Is another great one from them!!!!!!!
Billy Vera was also in a movie called " Baha Oklahoma " with Leslie Ann Warren and Willie Nelson and a few other stars! ❤
❤ Love this.. love him.... have some old records of his.
This is my favorite song by him. Oh the memories❤ Love the sax.... ❤
Thank you so much Seb... ❤ love to you and your beautiful family❤
Awwww I remember when this came out. Such a beautiful song!
I have *always* loved this song.
Loved Billy and this song since I first heard it
I love this song. I think he mostly wrote for other artists.
This was our song I had with a former girlfriend of mine. Sorry Missy, the timing was just off a little bit. We both found excellent spouses. But will always wonder what might have been? Need to listen to "What Might Have Been" by Little Texas.❤
My favorite Billy Vera song is 'Someone will school you, Someone will cool you'
Come on people. Go in to the 70's and explore. We had so much great stuff. Oh the horn is a saxophone 🎷. I love love love it.
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.
At This Moment was the theme of my Senior prom back in 1987. The words were etched into our glass's and the song ended the night.
My girlfriends and I loved this song when we were younger and wondered if we would know that kind of love, beautiful song
Timeless gem 💎
I have always loved this song!!
Could you check out Janice Joplin please, she has some great recordings you would love, would love to hear them and see your reaction!🤩
I've always loved this Billy Vera song! Thank you for reviewing it.
His "By Request" album has a number of great songs in this vein. His vocals and the band are fantastic throughout.
One of my very favorite recordings!!
This was a # 1 hit in the 80's
This is an all-time favorite version of this song!
Love this song.
❤
(No words needed)
That deep instrument in the background is a baritone saxophone. I played one in my high school jazz band.
This song reminds me of my brothers band, they used to cover this song. My brother was the guitar player in the band.
Hi Sebs and hi to Ali and Millie and Penny. Took a bad fall Friday and haven't been around much. I'm taking peeps. BIG THANKS FOR PLAYING BOTH JOHN MAYER & JM AND ED SHEREEN PEACE, LOVE AND GOD'S GRACE ✌️💜✝️🎸
Definitely should have done it with the Mrs. though 😉
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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.
If memory serves…Billy actually wrote it for/about a girlfriend that became his future and current wife…Professor of Rock did a recent deep dive and interview with Billy.
The first time I heard this song was during an episode of Family Ties.
"At This Moment" this was my high school prom theme ❤
He had a band Billy and the Beaters. Check them out.
I've loved this song from the first time I heard it so many years ago. Thanks for the suggestion.
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.*
This would have been a great reaction with your lady ☺️
Cool…I’ve been recommending this for ages 🙂
First time hearing this also. Not bad
Shows the difference between a singer and a performer.
Wasn't this the theme song for Alex and Ellen's relationship on Family Ties or something? 🤷♀️
That's where I first heard it. Ellen broke up with Alex. It was really, really sad. Of course, they got married in real life, and she has stayed by his side.
Horns?😅
soul is just singing from the heart is has nothing to with how you lookl
NOW - you must list to it properly ;) th-cam.com/video/0pjpYr3g-P0/w-d-xo.html. Michael and Tracy have one of the most enduring and endearing marriages in Hollywood. 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.
I'd subtract 20 years from my live .❤❤❤
This song became famous through a TV show called Family Matters. Michael J Fox was the “star” as a precocious conservative kid. Great show!
“Family Ties”
I came to ask how many had this song enter their lives from FAMILY TIES.
We need more of this and less of Taylor Swift, just in general......
Every generation drives their oewn. She is a positive person
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.
Totally agree
I would think you could pick a different artist, than Taylor Swift, to make your point 🤷🏻♂️
