    The funny thing about this video is that originally it was supposed to be Bruce Springsteen singing with Clarence Clemons. However Springsteen was on his honeymoon, he had just married his 1st wife, so Clarence ended up asking Jackson Browne to sing with him. And in my opinion, Jackson Browne was a much better choice.

      @@MusicRunner82 ​ pretty sure. I remember when this came out in '85, Jeff Daniels was pretty popular and in a lot of movies, and immediately recognizing him when I saw this. now that it's 35 years later, it involves some remembering what he looked like 35 years ago, but at the time it was pretty easy to recognize him. He IS a musician - more of a guitarist - but there's no reason to think that a decent guitarist couldn't be playing this pretty simple keyboard part.

      Corporate America targets the young- - always will. Make no mistake: all of this technology that stands in the way of natural one-on-one & impersonalizes it is by deliberate design, & weve allowed it to happen. Now we the Public have been following right along with their purely commercial & hollow vision of what communication should be
      Millennials are hitting their 30s & 40s now. And Gen-X? When are we going to start doing our part? Weve been grandparents for a good while.

Until today! a combination of chatGPT and AHA Music (and my dodgy humming!) finally found it! My God! Incredible tune! Its been my ear worm for all this time! How come this wasnt a HUGE hit in the UK!? Its catchy as hell! I can attest to that!

    I wish I didn’t tear up every time I see Clarence; he wouldn’t have wanted that but I can’t help it. Although I met him a dozen times - it’s like a relative who passed away. I feel like that about Danny too … but Clarence was just so special. The above is the best he ever looked and he was in the best shape of his life for the "Tunnel Of Love” tour in 88 a couple years later. I just wish he was here.

    I've had the intro of this song stuck in my head for a week but couldn't remember anything but that sax. No lyrics or melody. Finally stumbled on it searching for 80s songs with sax intro. I can't tell you the number of times Baker Street came up. Totally not even close. For a bit I thought it was Bruce Springsteen, I was in the right church thinking it was Clarence Clemons but sitting in the wrong pew. Glad I finally found it.
