I was commercial fishing on the Aleutians for the entire summer when this album came out. Any song by QF can transport me directly back to that moment. I was lovesick over a guy named Brett F. My early twenties were an interesting time of emotional learning.
I’m 55 was 14 in 1980 and spent all my life listening to 70s and 80s tunes . Nothing else compares and never will. No band in this century will ever be as good as half of the bands of those two decades! Eagles , Kansas , bob seger, Asia , kiss, David Bowie, prince ,wham, Motley Crue, bonjovi, Styx, reo speedwagon, journey , 38 special, pat benatar,Cher,Tina turner, Bruce Springsteen,ZZ Top, abba,Olivia Newton John,Queen, Eddie money, genesis, the hooters ,the outfield, the cars , Fleetwood Mac ,Van Halen, blue oyster cult, bee gees, spinners , Donna summers, Michael Jackson,Madonna,billy squire billy Joel, AC/DC , omg I could go on for an hour!
you made the right choice. I loved 80s music when I grew up, but I spent much of the 90s, 00s and early 10s pretending to give a damn about modern music just to fit in. So I lost out on nearly 3 decades of enjoyable music listening. Thanks to Spotify and TH-cam, I now know much more 80s music now than I ever did in my life during the actual 80s.
Almost Parallel. Two up and coming West Coast/Pacific bands fronted by two talented and alluring ladies; both have a following before Major Labels sign them; Corporation steps in to market and promote, then the rollercoaster ride begins. Name and personnel changes, hit records, gain and lose fans, Music Industry changes circa 1983-'84, Label support wanes without any new hits, by 1985 the damage is done and suddenly you don't hear them on the radio or see videos on MTV or then new VH-1. But that's Showbiz 🤷🏿♂️
We appreciated them..they were hard, snappy, aggressive and She was easy on the eyes😅! For a Hard Rock- Heavy guy, you hadda grab me by the collar.. They did....Matt NYC
the saxophone and violin with the electric guitar are absolutely amazing, it's great to learn that they're still a couple and still performing after five decades
I remember seeing these guys open for Elton John at the Garden in '82. When they came on I was thinking, Please just finish and let Elton go on...but by the time they were done I was like Damn these guys are great!! Thanks for posting - great memories!
Rindy had the whole package...the beauty, the voice, and throw in real musical talent with the sax...Quarterflash made some of the best music of their era. Rindy should have became a whole lot bigger star.
It must have been so tough to compete in such a crowded space. I always dug their sound, I’m a sucker for anytime a group can fit in a saxophone. Especially when a beautiful lady is playing it!
If I could go back to the 80's I would never leave them. I would just keep repeating them. I dont even care what age I would be, as long as I could walk, talk and hear
Same, but I need to add the ‘70’s too. I realised tho, in my wish to still be able to remember everything I know now, so I don’t make the same mistakes again, that there was some good music that I wanted to take with me, then realised CD’s would be useless, so that’ll be a fair few mixed tapes and entire CDs transferred onto cassette before I go.
Me tooooooooooo oh my God I miss being in that era in so many ways. I think a lot of it is just because I was young. But yes I’ve said that so many times I would just keep living in the 80s over and over and over. So much on this. And I know I could easily adapt to not having all this technology we have today. Just to be back and a happier time for me. Even though it wasn’t perfect for a lot of People. That’s why there’s so many time travel books that have been written. I think we all get that feeling. I really do totally agree with you.
I asked my nieces if they could go back in time to relive their life, but not remember what will happen, would they relive their lives over again OR reincarnate in to another person, in another time, in another location. They all said yes, they would take the second option. For me, I want to relive my life over again, with all the bad things and good things, exactly over again and would do it again and again. What a fantastic time to be a teenager. The 80's were really good for everything, including hearing this song for the first time on the radio.
LOVE A SAXOPHONE( I'M A TENOR GUY); IN LOVE WITH GREAT MUSIC (" WOMEN THEY MAY COME & THEN THEY"LL GO",(PARAPHRASING " STEVIE NICKS" IN " DREAMS")) COMBINED WITH A GORGEOUS SAX PLAYING, FANTASTIC SINGING VOICE, EVER SO " KOOL" DAVID BRIAN WILSON ON DRUMS, + GREAT GUITARISTS(HUSBAND MARV & other guy, great bassist & keyboardist= ONE OVER THE TOP, IMOHO," SUPER GROUP".
I've always been amazed that Quarterflash didn't end up huge international superstars. imo the degree of talent here is astonishing. And bringing a saxophone and even a violin into Pop/Rock music is balls to the wall. :)
Tim, they had a hit in the 70's. Few people know that before they morphed into quarterflash they actually had a hit called "magic" At the time they were known as Pilot...look it up
Ben Breeg Hi Ben - that was actually a different band. There were 2 Pilot bands in the 1970's. I believe there was another in the 1990s lol! The band that gave us the Top 10 "Magic" is actually from Scotland.
Ben Breeg Brandon Hixson is correct. The Pilot we know for the hit song Magic is indeed from Scotland. They were formed by half of the Bay City Rollers who had left well before the Bay City Rollers really hit the big time. You did a great thing here though in bringing up Pilot's Magic. People need to check that track out if they are younger or do not know it. Equally as impressive and important as Quarterflash in my book. The vocals and harmonies on it are perfect.
MechanicalAnimal Thanks for mentioning that great song, I had totally forgot about it but came back to me quick. I remember my sisters playing that song when I was a little kid, hated it then, but as we all know tastes change with time and in the end it grew on me.
Jr. High in 82 too. Man you have the electric violin, electric guitar and sax all in one song. 82 one of the best years for rock and synth. It quickly changed.
me too in 82, and yeah that sax--violin--electric guitar combo is absolutely amazing, so glad to know that they're still a couple and still performing after five decades, and she's an incredibly naturally pretty 71-year old
I was stunned when Quarterflash hit the scene in the early 80's. Fantastic sound! I'm still just as knocked out now as I was then. No one else like them anywhere today. Just classic music, great vocals, super lyrics! Rock on Quarterflash!!!
Heard this song on satellite the other day driving home from work forgot how good it was...an 80's band no one talks about anymore but those of us who were around then remember them fondly.
As a GenX and part of this era, I must say this band should of been way bigger than they actually were . A very CRIMINALLY UNDERRAYED Band back on the day !!!! 💯💯💯💯💯
It's hard to disguise that this band is tight. The Band members are actually listening to each other and the instruments are complimenting each other. Very professional composition. me likey! ;)
Like I said , the most beautiful sax player in the world ! I had to edit because she's also the most talented and did I mention the most beautiful woman.
This came out the year I graduated high school. Holds so many memories of my life at the time.
Graduated 1978, This music will never die,Our parents raised us hard-core, I thank them.
Yep ! I'm done playing the fool. Find another.😊👍
I'm such a sucker for Rindy!
I Will Always Love You ,
Little Lady, Rindy Ross of the Band Named Quarterflash!
Thats a tight little band right there! Great stuff!
It’s 2024 and I’m still listening to.
Same
o m g ...find another cave ..its 4045 in zenus.... troll !!!
大変素晴らしい動画ありがとうございました great
That is just so badass...

It's great how these old tracks take me back. I hear a song and remember exactly where I was at the time that'd I'd forgotten.
Only Quarterflash can have a dude solo on a violin in a rock song 🎵 🎻
Never heard of Kansas, huh?
Violin player was killer. Cheers
Bruce Sweetman
God damn...Rindy is a queen.

Com certeza ❤
Oh Yeah! I’m 67 and still have a crush on Rindy.
Loved her ,her voice and talent. My teen years🎉
Quarterflash and The Motels are my favorite 80s “should have been bigger” bands. ❤
Rindy and Martha!

40 years later whos still loving this power ballad!;
God damn right.
Linda demais.
Great song
Her and her band were so unappreciated. Pure Talent.
We appreciated them..they were hard, snappy, aggressive and She was easy on the eyes😅! For a Hard Rock- Heavy guy, you hadda grab me by the collar.. They did....Matt NYC
When you make Solid Gold, you're appreciated
that is on them not you so don't beat yourself over it
Very underrated
The music of the 80's will not be matched!
ABSOLUTELY AGREE on that.
That 'Oh Babeee" gets me every time.
In 1982 I was in junior high. I think I was the only little black boy in America who absolutely loved this song.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it still rocks 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Right on! 👍
I was the only black girl who knew this song!😂
As a Jr. high student in 82..I too..worshipped this song!! White boy in Anchorage hehehe... u r not alone!
Nope!
You just met another black man who loves Quarterflash lol
Perfect.
Gorgeous
Rock and roll Hall of Fame
Hermosa saludos desde mi mierdero país 🇦🇲 🇨🇴🇨🇴😵una tesa con el saxofón wow q chimbA
Saw them live on this tour at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds.... Wow she could belt them out and the band was tight as hell.... Great Times!!!
Terrific vocal performane.
what?
And she plays the Sax so damn well!
the saxophone and violin with the electric guitar are absolutely amazing, it's great to learn that they're still a couple and still performing after five decades

Same here, it was the happiest time of my life
:) You have obviously forgotten all the crap music we were forced to listen to between the gems. But the gems from the '70s and 80's were worth it.
I asked my nieces if they could go back in time to relive their life, but not remember what will happen, would they relive their lives over again OR reincarnate in to another person, in another time, in another location. They all said yes, they would take the second option.

KYOI radio station Sapan, the one of the best music from LA! All day, all night, we play rock n roll!

God I miss the 80's!
A very underrated and under appreciated group!
My thoughts exactly!
Not really sure why they didn't become bigger.I loved them.
and there it is
@@chrispaneesh5475 Maybe too many people thought they were hearing Pat Benatar.
@@mikereiss4216 Could be that.
Awesome song...I love the 80's... Wish I could go back...

+Timothy Rigney Some times a good manager is a make or break for a band!!
OMG! Haven't heard this one since the 80's! The Eighties were great! So is TH-cam! Thanks!
Another ride back to the best years. Awesome time machine.
Rindy, you are the thing!
Brings me back to the. 80s
I love how the violin and the saxophone. Bounce off each other near the end of this song.
Man, I've forgotten how freakin' great this song is... WOW!
I really liked their music, still do!
This is real music!
This is real music!!! I sure miss the 80's. I saw Quarterflash open up for Loverboy in I believe 1982, they were awesome!
That is so awesome! Quarterflash and Loverboy, two of my ultimate favorites!
Pat Benatar clone...!
I agree. I saw them too in concert.
John Ruhl and I bet she sleeps alone
That sounds like a great show. I'm with @@skylarker6238 here, I'm jealous...😁🎶🎷
Take me back now ...The 80's
Jr. High in 82 too. Man you have the electric violin, electric guitar and sax all in one song. 82 one of the best years for rock and synth. It quickly changed.

Quarterflash should have been up there in the charts and had the longevity of Heart to boot....the 80s rocked
Don't bring those fake washouts Heart into this with their soppy and limited power-ballad nonsense and Anne Wilson's aggravating howling.
@@kyachdistent1301 ..emotional issues much ?
@@mattf49006 A fan of bullshit much?
Rendy Ross! Loved this band!
Dang, this girl can sing...she inflects masterfully.
I went out with this girl once who gave me an inflection too!
Quarterflash and Rindy Ross are something else.....The girl can play that saxaphone baby.....
Beauty, brains, and so awesome on the sax my favorite from the 80's!! She was so hot she was on 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤
great song! Definitely underrated.
Loved these guys, what a great sound.
so under rated......
I was stunned when Quarterflash hit the scene in the early 80's. Fantastic sound! I'm still just as knocked out now as I was then. No one else like them anywhere today. Just classic music, great vocals, super lyrics! Rock on Quarterflash!!!
The 80s always had individuals in it. Even more amazing is that the US could produce some itself!
I am fortunate that this was part of the soundtrack to my high school years, very talented group
Quarterflash should have been much bigger. They were fantastic!
Yes
but they were from portland, not LA.
But they would still be just a memory in the mind of today’s pop culture, simply because that style of music isn’t ‘allowed’ to be heard anymore.
Fuck today's culture I'm listening to it right now
@@gregfornash4364 LIKEWISE> I SALUTE YOUR EXCELLENT MUSICAL TASTE>
ANOTHER TIMELESS CLASSIC! 80"S MUSIC RULES!! the dj
42 years later, this song still kicks ass
this song is criminally under rated
this song..this band...is absolutely..criminally..underrated...
The sheer genius of a smokin’ violin and a sexy sax instead of a guitar solo is monumental!
....thankU!!... great song!!.... Oh Bay-bee!!!😎👍
Heard this song on satellite the other day driving home from work forgot how good it was...an 80's band no one talks about anymore but those of us who were around then remember them fondly.
As a GenX and part of this era, I must say this band should of been way bigger than they actually were . A very CRIMINALLY UNDERRAYED Band back on the day !!!! 💯💯💯💯💯
Да где же я был все эти 40 лет!? Не знал о существовании этой группы.
Они обалденны!
Even her style of dress is tasteful and classy...goes with her marvelous voice and great band...
Fantastic voice!
Still rocking this song out in 2022!! 🤘 Class of 83 baby!! 80's is our decade!!
Yessir!!
Early 80s music was great...
She was defiantly beautiful without a doubt...
Never thought I would say this, but I miss the 80’s! Back when MTV played great music videos. Quarter flash was a great band out of Portland!!
I wore out this cassette in high school ('83). I listened to it over and over.
WOW!! I had forgotten just how great and talented Rindy Ross is!!
Terrific pop rock song from the Awesome 80s! And the Solid Gold Dancers! I'd forgotten about that show.
Show me anything new in any genre that has the level of talent that quarterflash had back then
Real instruments, no computer generated crap
th-cam.com/users/FireTigerBandvideos
Kipp Wedeman especially that sexy sax solo..all bands should have that included!
Rindy Ross was also their sax player.
There comes nothing over hand-made music.
No shit. Tha stuff didn't exist in 1981 pal.
Pat Benatar era...too much rock for the kids nowadays. 🎶
That dude is killing it on the violin too.
Bruce Sweetman
"Killing it on the violin!" lol Probably a sentence that had never been uttered, before Jason A!
Just a beautiful song by a very underrated band of their time.
One hell of a set of pipes on her!! REAL music!
This song not only rocks, but it brings back so many memories .
I can't believe this song is 40 years old...never gets old!
still an awesome song
It's hard to disguise that this band is tight. The Band members are actually listening to each other and the instruments are complimenting each other. Very professional composition. me likey! ;)
Like I said , the most beautiful sax player in the world ! I had to edit because she's also the most talented and did I mention the most beautiful woman.
Omg one of my favorite songs ever! This band rocked and were way underrated. Great tune , find another fool says it all.
... y tu que hacias hace 40 años ? ... yo : estrenar esta cancion ! ❤
God had a good day going when he made Rindy. Perfection!!!!!
Yes indeed 👍
This song Rocks! Thanks for sharing ❤
Loved this in 1982 - still love it in 2020....
You didn’t know it then but those were the best times in your life ❤
The art of timing. One of the best songs ever!
Awesome!
