MR

This worked for somebody else here, so thought I'd try. I'm looking for who sings a certain song. When I was getting my coffee on the way to work this morning I heard a song playing in the background of a song I just love from years ago, stunning majestic/soaring vocals.....almost ROR Perryish sounding in tone/timbre. I think it was from the 80s? I want to add it to my IPOD and have no idea who sings it. All I can remember is "i'll pick you up.................show you the love"

This one?

No, but I did stay at the Holiday Inn Express!

my guess...

Rhi had it first!

Totally unrelated, and advanced apologies, but your sig is bugging the daylights out of me, Deb. It's "Baba O'Riley" not 'O'Reilly'.

I wish I could check out youtubes here... but I can't. What song is that, Rhi?

Dude, MT, I already won.

That's one of my favorite songs of all time. ...Damn, I'm good.

Thanks muchly!!! Benny Mardones that's the one!

Correction made.....it's funny, because that is how I had it spelled first but I didn't think it looked right.

Thanks all! Haven't heard that song in eons.....great tune, great vocals.

Always come to me with Who questions and spelling clarifications.
I'm here to serve. I've been an expert since age 6. No joke.
My sister taught me WELL.

I wonder if Perry will cover this song on his new CD. I'm hearing it's gonna have a few covers and a few originals. Possibly the long awaited Sam Cooke covers. It's gonna be a very different Steve Perry if it gets released. He's experimenting with his lower range. I like that idea a lot.

LOL, I remember getting razzed when everybody else was into Paul McCartney or Mick Jagger, always thought Roger Daltry was the shiznit! Always liked the Who better.

Roger Daltrey ( sorry) was HOT. The curly blond hair and the fringey (bare chested) jackets... nice. he looks more like a hobbit now, but thank god for video.

Benny Mardones singing about being a pedophile...nice...

I slow danced to that song drunk on a blue line platform once upon a time... don't let anybody tell you there's no use for an mp3 player in a cell phone.

Thanks! I'll DL that when I get home from work!

Don't be . No one spells it right.
Same with Pete and John.

Its just like a Journey fan's annoyance at seeing 'Neil', 'Vallory', 'Greg', 'Rollie', 'Ainslie', Ansley', or 'Dean'. You're just obligated to correct it.

I'm gonna start spelling "Don Dockin" just to create some trouble.

Trivia

Mardones is a one hit wonder who was actually in the Billboard top 20 twice, both times with "into the night". The song made it there in 1980 and again in 1989 when Benny re-released it.

Deb wrote:All I can remember is "i'll pick you up.................show you the love"

Is it wrong that the first thing I thought of was

You lift me up if I should fall
Showing me love
When I was blind to it all
I face the fire and I stand tall
Knowing that you love me

Winger's "17" comes in a close second too! What would have been so wrong with making i8? Damn perverts!
