This song isn't a hidden gem. The first Scandal album was an EP that had five or so songs. This song and "Goodbye To You" were the two that got air play. They were also the two main songs featured in a commercial for the EP, as that's how I heard about them. That EP was one of, if not the first, cassette I was old enough to buy on my own. I must have been 12. :)
@@JimmyDaKoik He was just saying his opinion. Why the critique? I was in my 30's when this was popular. I don't compare it with the 70's musicians that I admire. I don't compare it to the other 80's singers/bands. I just enjoy it for what it is. If I has not heard many of the songs by this artist then I would say something as this person said. Instead of being a person that must make all things exact and a critic of others I just enjoy and let people feel what they feel. As long as they are happy, what does it matter!
@@arlenebowers326 The claim that it was a hidden gem from the first album implies that it was overshadowed by other songs on the album.. It wasn't. It was one of the two songs from a five song EP that got airplay. It has nothing to do with opinions. Also it's a great song! :)
This woman had that extra twist in her voice!! In those “Yoo’oooou!” hooks in the song! Pretty lady. Rocking a soulful, lil’ grunt , great range voice!! Legend, and top tier ROCK vocalist ……Woman or dude .
The total package!!! The 60's 70's and 80's were simply the best for music and musicians... No other time in history had so much amazing music been shared with the world. Thehsic these days has become mundane and over done! Bring back the MUSIC!!! ✌🏼
Great sultry voice, great looking, and a can do attitude. I listen to her songs often. There is a reason so many people love you Patty, including this silly old goat. The passion in your songs is genuine.
One thing about Patty Smyth in most of her Scandal videos (The Warrior being a sad exception) was how demure she's dressed. She's wearing outfits that most young women in the early 80's would have felt comfortable wearing to social events. However, Madonna was just around the corner, and she'd forever change how female performers presented themselves. (Sadly, I don't think for the better.)
The thing about Madonna is, I remember she appealed to the girls mostly. I recall her being viewed as nasty by the guys, but the girls lapped up that trashy look and attitude.
MTV. Damn I miss those years and great memories 😊. It just doesn't seem that long ago. Now I'm 61 retired and still listening to the music of the 80's. I couldn't leave it behind.
I remember driving home from a club one night, not long after a woman I dearly loved had broken up with me, and this song came on the radio. I had to believe Patty knew what she was talking about, and she was right! This song brings back so many good memories of clubbing in the 80's.
yep , i saw this bad in Cali. back in the 80,s a few times ..i think this singer was replaced ,or she was the replacment.The band played a lot in w.Coast a lot. a lot.I miss the 1980,s Central Coast. I left in the 90,s i heard the big toilet flush ,and left before the smell got too bad
She's a goddess and not a bad song in her catalogue Great with Scandal and equally wonderful in her solo career Never stopped listening and never will until I'm no longer here Brilliant
And notice too, you never hear any scandal about 'Scandal'. Just some kids in love playing some tasty rock and roll. She seems like a real sweetheart and her and the old man have been married for decades. God Bless em.
@@ZulcanPrime it was plenty popular when it came out... the issue wasn't the song being underrated, its that surrounding it on the charts was so much talent and great songs that it settled where it could. Compare that to today where a song even a quarter as well written and performed would win grammys... sad
It was a huge song for them...one of my favorite songs that summer.... everyone knew it and everyone loved it...the problem for charting was that back then the charts were full of massive all time talent and great songs...real tough for a single from an EP to compete
I'm glad to see Patty didn't get rid of her prom dress! But seriously, kudos to the director for starting the video backlit in near darkness, then hitting her with flood light. She just pops out at ya with that walk. From that first shot you're completely drawn in for the whole video. Extremely well done.
Who thought the 80s would be the "good old days"? Looking at these old videos, and scenes from the 80s, it clearly was the good old days, as things have become (on several fronts) progressively worse and worse.
When she comes straight at you at the end of the song...face to face, all I can say is WOW! What a beautiful woman! She's got it all, and I love her voice and her songs. The 80's were fantastic!
Have been a big fan since they started and I got the EP on vinyl. Then afterwards I got Patty's solo albums. She's got a signature voice of her own that you can't mistake. I wish I'd gone and seen them in concert, when I lived in New York. One of my favorites is goodbye to you. I thank Patty and Scandal for many years of excellent tunes. 😁
Patty is part of the band, not a feature act, lol. No idea why the title brands it as some guest appearance. She was the lead singer for Scandal. You wouldn't say Pearl Jam featuring Eddie Vedder 😂
I think we ALWAYS had fake news, it just wasn't as brutal and "in your face" as now. How I TRULY miss the days of NO TWITTER, NO PC CULTURE, NO CELL PHONES, ETC......But gosh, the MUSIC. What happened to pure, raw, musical talent and creativity just oozing out of society.? It seems to have always existed throughout the different styles of music since ancient times and then suddenly came to a screeching halt in the 90's, with a VERY FEW scattered exceptions since then. Being a little bit "old school" I preferred 60's and 70's music during the 80's I didn't really care for a lot of the music during that decade. But when I listen to 80's music now I am SHOCKED not only at the quality of it but DEEPLY SADDENED that it's time has passed.
I'm so glad they recorded another version of this song .Patty looks good in all the outfits she's wearing and the band is in "play mode" as well .Thanks for posting this!
To this day I'm shocked that we didn't hear a lot more from this band in the 80s and 90s. Anytime I heard a song from them on the radio in the 80s, I loved it and wanted more. Yet, they kind of disappeared, adding to the mystique, but bummed and confused as to what happened!? Where are they!? Please come back!
There was such a purity to her, like a just struck silver bell that sends our a note that shivers the barriers of what was, of what may be. By time it registers, only the feeling of something important that was on the tip of your tongue - at the edge of your mind - remains.
+Valentin Koscheyev Such a beautiful voice' clear and great tone 'she had a winning combination' great looks along with a unbelievable voice' LOVE YOU PATTY .
Facebook friend of hers, very excited when she accepted. She's very cool and love her updates. Her husband is an original, legend as well. The music is timeless.
She was gorgeous. And that voice.....wow.
The voice, the face, the hair, the legs - what a throwback to a great and missed time.
😅
Patty Smyth... What an incredible voice.. what a beauty ,!!
American women of the 80s were absolutely stunning Goddesses❤
She would have been awesome in Van Halen
Y78😮😊😊
This is a hidden gem from the first Scandal album. Beautifully written and arranged and what a melody. Patty Smyth has got a killer, bluesy voice

@@JimmyDaKoik Thanks for clearing it up.
I think this is a slightly different arrangement than the one she sang on their promo video.
It is impossible to not love the song and Patty Smyth. She is drop dead gorgeous and damn can she sing!
Hell yeah she's hot!!! I think I need something like reverse Viagra!
she was drop dead gorgeous until that sumbitch mcenroe grabbed a hold of her.
Yes I thought she was a better singer than Madonna. She's also beautiful and a class act.
@@cat-lw6kq Not too hard to be a better singer than Madonna. 😒 But yeah, Patty rules.
@@cat-lw6kq Listen to the isolated vocals between Madonna and Patty. There is no contest. Patty blows her away.
Wow, pipes, stage presence, charisma and drop dead gorgeous, Patty had it all.
She's 66 years old now and still sounds amazing
…..Still Does!!
Yes sir she blew all others away
As well as my date's prom dress.
She was petite.
What a vocalist. Patty is both gorgeous and extremely talented
I never get tired of Her voice, She has the sound And She was Dead Sexy also.. This was the 80's folks.
Patty’s got that combination of Linda Ronstadt and Pat Benatar looks. And the voice to boot.
You sir, do not know what you are talking about; Patty Smythe is one of a kind,,,
Very well said!!
also debbie harry maybe
No way she's way better looking
Her band members were hot, too! And very talented.
She’s a high-level combination of confidence, strength, attractiveness and raw natural talent
This woman had that extra twist in her voice!! In those “Yoo’oooou!” hooks in the song! Pretty lady. Rocking a soulful, lil’ grunt , great range voice!! Legend, and top tier ROCK vocalist ……Woman or dude .
This song with Patty's mastering vocals is a work of art a true MASTERPIECE
Smyth livens up every song she sings. You know that when she starts hopping, she is about to belt out the Rock N Roll!
This band consistenly pumped-out solid, melodic hooks for radio hits back in the early 80's. Patty's voice was phenomenal too.
The total package!!!
The 60's 70's and 80's were simply the best for music and musicians... No other time in history had so much amazing music been shared with the world. Thehsic these days has become mundane and over done!
Bring back the MUSIC!!! ✌🏼
Still one of my my favorites of all time. Patty Smyth had it and is still rocking.❤🔥🌹
Great sultry voice, great looking, and a can do attitude. I listen to her songs often. There is a reason so many people love you Patty, including this silly old goat. The passion in your songs is genuine.
You can't help but love genuine people. They're increasingly rare. If you find one, and I hope that you do, hold on and don't let go.
What a beautiful and unforgetable song
80s rule forever❗️
One thing about Patty Smyth in most of her Scandal videos (The Warrior being a sad exception) was how demure she's dressed.

However, Madonna was just around the corner, and she'd forever change how female performers presented themselves. (Sadly, I don't think for the better.)
Demure? No, she's resorting to an acceptable level of sluttyness.
The thing about Madonna is, I remember she appealed to the girls mostly. I recall her being viewed as nasty by the guys, but the girls lapped up that trashy look and attitude.
Everything was okay in this respect until 1985 happened.
Love Patty she was such a great singer and so cute.The 80's rocked for music--MTV!
I played in in slow motion. So much better. Looks like she is coming on to me. How u'd doin'?
don't you wish that once you could make a fantasy such as you just described come true, Joey?
Patty is still one of the most underrated singers of all time.
The fact that the first Scandal album hasn't gotten a CD release or Vinyl re-release is a scandal in itself.
It was an EP or a mini album. Such a thing does not exist anymore.
@@michaelmccrystal98 True. But EPs have gotten CD reissues before.
The 2014 CD reissue of the Warrior album on Rock Candy Records includes all the tracks from the first EP as well.
@@kevgambleGood to know! Thanks.
Those eyes and that voice. Lol, I remember my best friend and would play "The Warrior" non-stop while playing Atari back in 1984. What a summer.
Omg. Same. Oh the 80's
Patty Smyth yum yums from the 80s. Why do we gotta get old?
Because if u didn't grow old you couldnt appreciate
Lovely lady ❤❤❤❤❤❤ beautiful voice love all songs
Damn prom dress gets me everytime! Just the cutest damn girl singer, and holy shit, what a set of pipes!
25 years for Patty and McEnroe. Many more .....
She always melted me. When a Scandal video came on MTV, we just sat down and watched.
MTV. Damn I miss those years and great memories 😊. It just doesn't seem that long ago. Now I'm 61 retired and still listening to the music of the 80's. I couldn't leave it behind.
Love her voice, looks and talent!
The 80s had the best music during all Earth history.
😂😂😂

You can,t look away from Patty,s total sweetness. She steals your heart
This was my song in the 80s. It's still my go-to song! Love Patty Smyth and that smoky voice.
the best yrs back then,,, Girls dressed Hot in the 80s and 90s,,,, God Bless Patty
60s was much better for cars, girls and music....been going downhill in so many ways since then....look around and you'll see !!!!!!!!!
The girls dressed hot...but not trashy!!!
still have my faded jeans and leather jacket, so lucky to have grown up in the 80's, didnt know how good we had it
One of the greatest voices in rock&roll; period!
R.I.P. drummer Frankie LaRocka (1954-2005) and keyboardist Benjy King (1954-2012).
Man, they died young.
I had such a crush on Patty!🥰
Still do at 60
We did too.
Patty Smyth truly rocks !!! 😇
Great TALENT IN MY YOUTH GROWING UP IN THE LSTE 70S AND 80S THIS HAS GOT TO B THE HIDDEN GEM IN BANDS OF THE 80S. ❤
It hurts so bad,it’s gone all gone. The 80,s that is.
yep , i saw this bad in Cali. back in the 80,s a few times ..i think this singer was replaced ,or she was the replacment.The band played a lot in w.Coast a lot. a lot.I miss the 1980,s Central Coast. I left in the 90,s i heard the big toilet flush ,and left before the smell got too bad
Yup. I'm with you.
...paraphrasing Dr. Suess, "don't be sad it's over, be glad it happened in the first place." ...
@@markkalfahs1047 thanks Mark. Good on ya and thanks Dr.Seuess for that perspective.
I've totally fallen in love with Patty Smyth all over again.
+vxy357 DITTP!
right?
She's a goddess and not a bad song in her catalogue
Great with Scandal and equally wonderful in her solo career
Never stopped listening and never will until I'm no longer here
Brilliant
@San Diego There's audio clips online of EVH (by himself) performing with Patty.
And notice too, you never hear any scandal about 'Scandal'. Just some kids in love playing some tasty rock and roll. She seems like a real sweetheart and her and the old man have been married for decades. God Bless em.
She didnt get the big awesome climb like the rest cuz she didnt go along with their shit like having to get passed around she has morals!
So clean, smooth, perfectly simple
This whole band is good looking!!! Don't see that all the time. Loved them then, and still do.
I always loved this song from Scandal!!! Should’ve been a huge hit on the charts!!!
It is strange how some songs are more popular and appreciated after many years of release. Time is a good a good friend to many artists and singers.

Yep I feel like everything changed after 9/11 then smartphones and social media came about and then the election of Donald Trump and the pandemic
When she comes straight at you at the end of the song...face to face, all I can say is WOW! What a beautiful woman! She's got it all, and I love her voice and her songs. The 80's were fantastic!
Gorgeous Patty!
I met her in the village! Very talented lady.
Okay song, that is elevated by the power of Patty Smyth's vocals. She transforms this song with her power.
Such an 80s prom dress!
lol that is soo true!
Ha ha!! You said what I was thinking!
Great voice, great guitar licks and kicking drums. Awesome tune...
80s girls were so slim and fit..... gorgeous to boot!!
I was in high school during the 80's I was thin but not now. I do have friends that are just as beautiful as they were in high school.
If you remember...Workout Gyms were just getting popular.
A body in motion....stays in motion!
Gotta keep movin'...I just turned 60 !
Back when it was OK to fat shame.
same can be said about the men. heh.
Have been a big fan since they started and I got the EP on vinyl.

Haven't heard this song in decades. Awesome. Bring back the 80s please.
Patty Smyth for ever the first❤
Love her voice! Band and Patty blend so well together.

I really miss the days of quality music videos.
+Odee “Oz” Dillon There will never be another era like the 80's' I grew up with all the great bands and compared to them the new stuff SUCKS.
Lisa Walz Amen to that, sister!
Aw, c'mon- Miley Cyrus doesn't cut it for you? ;-)
NO MORE QUALITY IN THIS DAY AND AGE JUST ALOT OF CRAP!
I miss the days of quality music, with singers who had passion in their voices!
How do you like a video twice?, what a jem.
Man I had forgotten about this one. Great to hear it again. By the way she couldn't be more beautiful.
I always had a crush on Patty. Brooklyn girl.
Su voz hasta la actualidad es potente y maravillosa. Un excelente banda y maravillosa intérprete Paty. Desde Perú te amamos
When She Sang "Take a Piece of my heart" On Letterman And More Than Nailed A Difficult Song 2 Sing She Left No Doubt She Could Sing
An all-time fav, love Patty.
That bridge ❤
Loved the rasp in her voice
Ah the 80's, what a great musical decade.
Damn I miss the 80's. No fake news, no twitter, no PC culture. Just great times and music!!
Exatamundo!! Working and scoping for chicks with my good buddy at all the note clubs. Trying to get girls numbers the old way. Ask and write them down
No dumb people creating problems with social injustice and no constant bad news about COVID cases going up in California.

Happy Birthday beautiful Patty Smyth! 🎂❤ June 26
Awesome voice and she’s totally gorgeous!
Never saw so many mullets in one place, even Patty has one!
My God her voice is heavenly
Wow! Had Completely Forgotten about this Song....came right back !
How did I ever miss this band in the 80's. Wow I'm really enjoying these videos.
omg, that hawt, raspy-voice!
This always has and will always be one of my Top 5 favorite songs from the 80s
Oh yes her vocals are amazing along with the show on the stage
There was such a purity to her, like a just struck silver bell that sends our a note that shivers the barriers of what was, of what may be. By time it registers, only the feeling of something important that was on the tip of your tongue - at the edge of your mind - remains.
+Valentin Koscheyev Such a beautiful voice' clear and great tone 'she had a winning combination' great looks along with a unbelievable voice' LOVE YOU PATTY .
Woah, that's heavy.
just a sassy feisty lil thing in every song, just love her. Great band
I love Patty. You still look so cute.
Not to shabby
Very underrated singer. One of the 80s best. Still great today.🍌
The absolute epitome of American 80's music! :)
Facebook friend of hers, very excited when she accepted. She's very cool and love her updates. Her husband is an original, legend as well. The music is timeless.
Love Patty's energy and eyebrows!
Such a gem~Love the clarity in this video
Scandal rocks!! Song writing at it's best!!
Thank you Patty ,Scandal, and the music from that "era". Today's "music"?...is nothing. Bless you!
Probably my favorite song from the 80's. I wore this cassette out, literally.
Thanks for posting Patty. It seems real. Jesus.
Classy lady!
Such a great singer, and great band. The song would be great even if she wasn't so gorgeous... but that only makes it better. 🙂
