MR

Just stumbled on this song while checking out some other videos, and found a song I LOVE! I forgot about this song, but it kicks some serious 80's ass and I figured I'd see who else here likes it.

It almost has a Mike & The Mechanics feel to it.

Don't they have some of the same personnel or at least the same singer?

I like Kyrie and Broken Wings from the old school but never heard this song...

Same here...I used to have the cassette version but don't remember that one.

The youtube account hosting the vid must have it or at least an mp3 or it. He's got other tracks from it posted.

Thanks! I've never heard about it before...is it legit, or am I going to download a virus? I get nervous as hell about these types of sites.

That's cool! I really wish they were still putting out new stuff.

My ex was in their Broken Wings video... the tango dancing feet... that's all you saw of him (and that's a good thing).

Jim i used iso for years as far as for me its been safe,theres a file with all there stuff on it

do you have their "go on" cd?

Great song - was in the 'Blake Edwards' movie with Ted Danson and Howie Mandel 'It's a Fine Mess'

Related Mr. Mr. story, my college roommate told me a story about hanging out at his dad's house in Malibua (lived next to Johnny Carson's estate), and getting drunk/stoned in his house, jamming with an imromptu band. (friends) A bass player from the neigborhood came in and started playing with them...After he played and sang a few songs, then left one of the guys said 'do you know who that was? It was Richard Page' the singer from Mr. Mr...

Came across this live audio while checking out links on here...Seemed like he was a fan-a ...

That's VERY coincidental!

I just listened to both Mr. Mister albums and the unreleased demo's on my Iphone yesterday while driving home.

While not all songs are great, Richard Page shines (obviously). Check out Pages - Pages from (I think 1983), which is a FANTASTIC album, with merely awesome songs.

Almost forgot about "pages",they actually had 3 cds from them

Pages (self-titled) (1978)
Pages - Future Street (1979)
Pages (2nd self-titled) (1981




I believe these will be hard to find, not sure they ever made it to disc, i have a potential line on them now , i'll post here if i have any luck.

Dig the Pages, some classic 'light AOR' from the 70's 80's (very Pablo Cruise'ish at times meets Steely Dan). The last album is my favorite.

Okay a little info:

He has started his own website(just started)
theres a great video of him there of a new song "i always cry at christmas", guy still sounds great even for a christmas song. He will be putting songs on his site for fans 1 at a time eventually no word of a new album
