The most under-rated guy ever on the radio. Movie star handsome, brilliant songwriting, great singing, I think he got written off as a "pop pretty boy" and didn't get the airplay deserved or the promo effort from his label.
The change was bubbling in 1990. Grunge was about to blow up. Jude Cole and Brent Bourgeois' solo album were released the same year. Back then it was considered dad music in today's terms.
I would have never got this close to hearing or the slide of his guitar ,if the fellow ( Jack) passed away. Never did I ..... Umm. You never know who you sitting next to.
An unsung hero if there ever was one. Precociously talented. Everything, the complete package, with one crucial, essential element: sincerity. A View from 103rd Street is a masterpiece. Should’ve easily been album of the year. Song by song, note by note, riff by riff, there’s not a wasted moment. Don’t know or disagree? Put it on, in, whatever, drop the needle or just push play. Prove me wrong. It’s even sequenced perfectly. Always gets me through the night.
I just saw an interview with him that came out just last year, and he confessed to not liking the tour part of selling records, and coupling that with his desire to make the music that he wanted to make instead of trying to be a popstar made him had more into a producer and songwriter mode instead of trying to be in front. Now it all makes sense. He made three nearly perfect albums, and it wasn't what he really wanted.
The band members were crashed and I was driving them and pulling the trailer back to S. Carolina from Jacksonville. All I could think about was getting home to my sweetheart when I heard it for the first time back then. I still play it on those long trips back to her. We have never had a fight, but I feel lonely away from her. That night was very special when I melted with her and this will always be my coming home anthem.
Spring 1990...I do not know about any of you but 1990 was an awesome year for me! This and many other songs from that year were a significant part of that season of my life, thanks Jude Cole!
This song is absolutely my favorite and it reminds me of the great talent that is lost to time. The stuff they call music now in the 21st century can't hold a candle to Jude. He gave so much from the soul and you won't see this kind of brilliance from any singer in this day and age because they have little to give from their soul. It's such a shame that we can't see this type of talent anymore.
Used to dance like a maniac to this tremendous song. For the longest time I only knew Jude Cole by his voice. When I finally saw him on television I thought "This guy should be a huge rock star with his movie star looks." All I can guess is that he has too much integrity to play the success game. "Won't you please, please pick up the phone." // Jude Cole deserved / deserves big time success.
Yeah Butch, I had a shared apt. w/ a lounge band in orange co. I moved to LA in April of '78. Jude & I were 4 years apart in high school here in IL. He followed me out west & admitted to it being the first time he ever flew when he was on Leno. I only stayed for a year (I'm a player too) - he stuck it out & we've had very different fortunes. 30 plus years later, we're good - glad I know him.
Great soft rock song from 1990. The 80s type songs of the early 90s are some of the most underappreciated because that sound was already fading away. I remember this on VH1 as a kid
In 1990, I was not a fan of pop music, it was either metal or classic or progressive rock, I worked at a music store when this album came out, I loved every song on the album, and still listen to it religiously. and got his three albums after this one, and loved them too. I finally last week found this album on vinyl, wish the others came out on vinyl, especially Start The Car.
So many of us are glad you had an open mind to different music. Jude Cole is a damn genius. I listen to everything too and keep an open mind. I would listen to Jude Cole one day and listen to the Stone Roses another day.
This song should have been bigger but apparently got drowned by so many hits here and there in 1990 that you can’t choose what to listen. There’s Wilson Philips, Extreme, Sinead O Connor, heck even Mariah Carey, Maxi Priest. It was actually the period between 1988-1991 that almost all songs that came out were worthy of recognition.
I remember the fiirst time I heard this song. It is one of a handful in my whole life that had me set to buy the album before the lyrics even started. Then, I bought it, and found another two songs (Hallowed Ground and Time for Letting Go) that are at least as great. Why this work was not a hge hit, I'll never understand.
it's because the bottom fell out of that 80s pop-rock sound just when Jude hit the scene in the early 90s. The 80s sound persisted into the new decade for a few years, but by late '93, the 80s were over and everything was either grunge or acoustic. Jude was unlucky with the timing, maybe he had some personal problems as well, who knows.
@@willritter4076 You're 100% right. The pop chart shifted between 1991 and 1992. The 80s were over and the kids wanted something different. Hell, I was at a town's baseball game in 1990 and the girls in the crowd were wearing flannel shirts. They predicted the trend...but they were cute. I love South Fayette/Bridgeville. Morgan Park had the cutest girls for 6 months.
Very true Marshal! May 1990, I can't believe it my self. *Seems like it was just yesterday this was out...What phenomenal song & musician. Happy 30th Mr. Jude Cole.
I always wondered who sang this song; I just heard it on one of my local classic radio stations. I agree...definitely underrated without the acclaim he deserved. I think it was a classic example of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. By 1990 rap/r&b music was all the rave and taking over the airwaves. Meaningful, well-written pop songs by "mature" artists like this simply got brushed under the rug, so to speak.
Criminally underrated artist. This album had zero promotion. I discovered him & the album when I won it from a south Florida radio station & played it til it wore out. This song is amazing. He plays dobro, 12 & 6 string guitar, acoustic guitar, bass, produced, arranged, and what a stunning singer & songwriter. I heard he stopped writing & performing & manages other artists now. What a shame someone so talented got zero support from his record label & the industry.
Since I was one of the people that DID promotion for Reprise, I can tell you A. That you are TOTALLY wrong as the staff LOVED this album and the label was behind it 100%. B. One should never speak without knowledge on a topic they most apparently know NOTHING about.
I know Jude ... he's a home towner. Picked him up at LAX in the summer of 1978 when I lived in Placentia. He's the real deal ... player, singer, writer, visionary and still a good freind. Let's just say, fame & fortune (or lack there of) has changed him little over the years. Puts on his pants like everbody else AND God has allowed him a very genuine gift - his voice, his hands & his heart. Hey UTHS East Moline, IL!!!
This guy should of been bigger. I know it's a cliche, but still. He had a bunch of great albums that got lost in the shuffle and were swept under the rug. Ok, I'm done.
This album came out as grunge was emerging, and pop-rock was going on a decade-long hiatus. It's not so much that it wasn't promoted, the world just completely shifted on him....a classic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
takes me back to living in Cairns for six months back in 90 ....when this was on the radio......driving round in a conncil truck...great song .. Leslie
I have been playing that tape and CD to death… Absolutely one of the best performers! He found another calling then performing himself, but good he’s back again making music for us to enjoy!!
A driving rock song,one of those with the sun roof down and the sun at your back and hitting at least seventy on the freeway, just a dream for me,I can't drive,I can dream though, that's what rock is all about, Jude is behind that wheel, take us all home son
The reclusive man,none of us know why?,he can rock, give it blues,he can take us anywhere,we won't let him face that world alone,we have been there, all alone, no good, together, plenty of good,we believe in you
This guy's music is so underappreciated. I watched VH1 all the time in 1990-'93 and never ever heard this song, and I loved this type of music as a kid too.
Man I sure do miss the 1990's especially now with this crazy corona virus going on in 2020. Take us all back to the wonderful 1990's. The world was much better ❤️😘
Start The Car and View From 3rd Street were absolute masterpieces that should have been huge . Not a weak song on either . Tell The Truth is one of the best songs ever performed .
God I love RUclips. I remember a not so distant time when you had an earworm of an old song stuck in your head & it wasn't so readily available to play and blast up at a high volume! This technological instant gratification at your finger tips times we live in today does indeed have its advantages 🤣
Rocked this album driving with my buddy from Sacramento, CA to Syracuse, NY in late August 1990. Eventually Jude Cole married Michelle Pfeifer's sister and I believe they are still together today. Great memories of another life.
Was drunk at myrtle beach, chasing girls, stumbled into a club and saw Jude play this song. I was amazed. It's been one of my favorites ever since then. Good memories of the 90s when people talked face to face and everyone wasn't staring at a cell phone. What has happened to us?
Freakin hell he was so damned good looking, probably still is. I've been listening to his music since the 80's. Never understood why his career didn't skyrocket. 3:)
Thanks for Professor of Rock reminding me I use to sing this at the top of my lungs while commuting to college. Sad state of radio made me completely forget this song.
omg!! I am making a playlist of songs from 1990 (20 yrs ago)..most of the songs I remember! I havebeen putting in ones that made a decent climb, but don't recognize hoping to find one like this!!! 20 yrs later and I remember!!
That's a great point. What happened to MTV? In a galaxy long, long away they actually played music videos. Now, they have switched to somekind of reality based program. I am so sick of reality shows where the main theme is how drunk and stupid they can get! Wake up MTV!! There are still many people who would like to watch and listen to music videos. By the way, great song by Jude. Thanks for posting.
Jude Cole was in a band called The Records on Virgin Records. They were from London, England and Jude was the only American in the band. They released about 3 albums. The two main singers were John Wicks and Jude. Both of them are now part of the Los Angeles music scene. I wouldn't be surprised if Jude and John have done or will do a reunion tour with The Records, as they have a cult following with fans of power pop and punk music.
Jude was only on their second album, 'Crashes!' (1980), which is my favorite of their three albums. He really fit in with that band-it's a shame they weren't more popular as they had the goods. But then again, the competition back then was unbelievable. What a musical-rich era that was.
I absolutely forgot how much i loved him back in the day. I ran across his CD yesterday and I haven't stopped listening to him. I LOVE HIS VOICE!!! I can' t believe i know all the words.
One reason he didn't make it as big as he or his fans may have wanted was because the contemporary icon of late 80s/early 90s young American Caucasian male solo pop-rock singer/writer/guitarist was already filled by Richard Marx, who dominated with 14 top 20 songs, 9 of those top 10, which included 3 number 1s. However, this is one of my favorite songs of all time, none of which are Marx's.
First heard this when on holiday in Florida it was getting a lot of airplay but it wasn't till years later when again in the US on hol's I found "a View from 3rd St" in the music section of Target and bought it. Jude is a great musician who I wish had made it to the UK I still love his song's and regularly play them
What a great song, takes me back to the 90s. Absolutely a brilliant song. This guy is extremely underrated. I hope he is sitting wealthy somewhere enjoying his life.
The most under-rated guy ever on the radio. Movie star handsome, brilliant songwriting, great singing, I think he got written off as a "pop pretty boy" and didn't get the airplay deserved or the promo effort from his label.
The change was bubbling in 1990. Grunge was about to blow up. Jude Cole and Brent Bourgeois' solo album were released the same year. Back then it was considered dad music in today's terms.
I agree. Jude and Michael Penn deserved more respect
I agree.
I would have never got this close to hearing or the slide of his guitar ,if the fellow ( Jack) passed away. Never did I ..... Umm. You never know who you sitting next to.
I couldn't agree more!
He's still a stunningly handsome man in his 60s. One of the countless "Should've Been..."
Why wasn't this guy a superstar?! So much talent, too bad so many people missed out, he is awesome.
Two words alternative rock.
@SEZWAH its better to have a hit than to have none at all.
I listen to Jude every other day ,73 yrs
Wore out my CD, can someone produce them , $1,000,000 Sales immediately
Early 90s , this guy was all over the radio in Chicago.
Dude was solid , some good songs.
Great song, underrated artist.
VERY UNDERATED MUSICIAN
Very
Amazing songwriter, vocalist and musician!
I was wondering what happened to Jude Cole. One hit wonder of 90?
Love Jude Cole’s 🎶 Music 🎸
One of my favorite songs from 1990, when I was 12. I still like this song to this day!
"A View from 3rd Street" is great from start to finish. Love every song on it.
This album is truly A Gem. I love all his music. Such an underrated artist.
You'll never hear music like this again.
An unsung hero if there ever was one. Precociously talented. Everything, the complete package, with one crucial, essential element: sincerity. A View from 103rd Street is a masterpiece. Should’ve easily been album of the year. Song by song, note by note, riff by riff, there’s not a wasted moment. Don’t know or disagree? Put it on, in, whatever, drop the needle or just push play. Prove me wrong. It’s even sequenced perfectly. Always gets me through the night.
Jude Cole is an amazing talent...not sure why he didn't make it big. Love his music and musicianship.
I have 3 of his CD's and have playing them for 20+ years. Will never understand why he was not a superstar. Talent, voice one of the best.
He put his heart and soul in backing the band Life house....they were quite popular for awhile
Jude Cole had the misfortune to be putting out great 80s pop/rock in the early 1990s... the right music at exactly the wrong time.
Probably he didn't like little kids like most modern super stars.
I just saw an interview with him that came out just last year, and he confessed to not liking the tour part of selling records, and coupling that with his desire to make the music that he wanted to make instead of trying to be a popstar made him had more into a producer and songwriter mode instead of trying to be in front.

Cool story 🤠🖖
If this song doesn`t move you,then you don`t have a pulse!
Agreed.
Well said!
LIFEHOUSE producer...............So Much talent
REALLY? I loved them!
Spring 1990...I do not know about any of you but 1990 was an awesome year for me! This and many other songs from that year were a significant part of that season of my life, thanks Jude Cole!
Still kicks in 2023 !
Where are you Jude Cole....come back...
He IS on FB and accepted my invite
This dude should have been much more popular. Great musician. I dated a woman who looked like the woman in this video, she was absolutely nuts. :)
This song is absolutely my favorite and it reminds me of the great talent that is lost to time. The stuff they call music now in the 21st century can't hold a candle to Jude. He gave so much from the soul and you won't see this kind of brilliance from any singer in this day and age because they have little to give from their soul. It's such a shame that we can't see this type of talent anymore.
This artist is very much under appreciated. Great song. So is “Start the Car”.
Used to dance like a maniac to this tremendous song. For the longest time I only knew Jude Cole by his voice. When I finally saw him on television I thought "This guy should be a huge rock star with his movie star looks." All I can guess is that he has too much integrity to play the success game.
"Won't you please, please pick up the phone." // Jude Cole deserved / deserves big time success.
Pop-rock perfection. This and "Start the Car" are still my two favorite Cole songs.
Still love Worlds Apart - could listen over and over and never tire of the vocal and instrumental harmonies!
This song and House Full of Reasons are my favorites by him.
Jude Cole Is One Of My favorite singers of all time 😍💖😍💖😍💖😍💖😍💖😍💖😍💖😍💖😍
Yeah Butch, I had a shared apt. w/ a lounge band in orange co. I moved to LA in April of '78. Jude & I were 4 years apart in high school here in IL.

I only stayed for a year (I'm a player too) - he stuck it out & we've had very different fortunes. 30 plus years later, we're good - glad I know him.
i love finding songs i have not heard for many many years!! like finding a buried teasure =)
Also love "Time For Letting Go" from this album. Gorgeous song.

I'm 35 and just discovered this song today thanks to SiriusXM 90s on 9. I am shocked I never encountered it before. I played it 20 times already.
An absolute favorite among my treasured music from 70’s & 80’s - still got my cd’s
This song should have been bigger but apparently got drowned by so many hits here and there in 1990 that you can’t choose what to listen. There’s Wilson Philips, Extreme, Sinead O Connor, heck even Mariah Carey, Maxi Priest. It was actually the period between 1988-1991 that almost all songs that came out were worthy of recognition.

I was in radio in the 90s. Do you know how few artists I DIDN'T get sick of?? This one of my "turn it to 11" songs even after all these years.
@@willritter4076 I think this song was more popular on the "adult contemporary" stations.
@@willritter4076 You're 100% right. The pop chart shifted between 1991 and 1992. The 80s were over and the kids wanted something different. Hell, I was at a town's baseball game in 1990 and the girls in the crowd were wearing flannel shirts. They predicted the trend...but they were cute. I love South Fayette/Bridgeville.

Cool song. Can’t believe it’s 30 years old.
Very true Marshal! May 1990, I can't believe it my self. *Seems like it was just yesterday this was out...What phenomenal song & musician. Happy 30th Mr. Jude Cole.
Christopher Hazell going deeper into his music. Lots of gems. I used to be 23.
I always wondered who sang this song; I just heard it on one of my local classic radio stations. I agree...definitely underrated without the acclaim he deserved.

He reminds me of John Waite
Remember very vividly when this came out in 1990, listened to it a lot. Great song. My great taste in music brought me here.
Criminally underrated artist. This album had zero promotion. I discovered him & the album when I won it from a south Florida radio station & played it til it wore out. This song is amazing.

Greatest Voice Ever Man.!!!! Love Him. Love this Song !!!!
One of my favorite singers, Jude Cole!! GREAT go-to song!!!! 🥰🎵🎸🎶💕
I know Jude ... he's a home towner. Picked him up at LAX in the summer of 1978 when I lived in Placentia. He's the real deal ... player, singer, writer, visionary and still a good freind. Let's just say, fame & fortune (or lack there of) has changed him little over the years. Puts on his pants like everbody else AND God has allowed him a very genuine gift - his voice, his hands & his heart. Hey
UTHS East Moline, IL!!!
Jude is way underreated and this song (recorded, video or unplugged) is just all that.
Top 20 pop hit from 1990. Very underrated indeed. Like the expression "timing is everything. "
I love Jude Cole music!!!!!!!!! great artist.
agreed. great song, great artist, great production!
His songs reflected my life at the time they came out, almost word for word. ❤
This guy should of been bigger.
I know it's a cliche, but still.
He had a bunch of great albums that got lost in the shuffle and were swept under the rug.
Ok, I'm done.
I agree. I was lying in bed and this song kept playing in my head, that's what brought me here.
If Alternative Music hadn't become so huge so quickly, he might've been a 90s staple for sure.
I listened to his CD when I would drive around. It was October, smell of fall in the air, his sings bring me that memory.
Haven't heard this in 30 years.😊❤
Pretty damn perfect song! Thanks Jude. 😊
All the comments here confirm what I thought since early 90s. Highly under rated star.
great song!! loved Jude
I've loved this song for years! I never realized the same person who did "Start the Car" did this song. Fantastic!
This album came out as grunge was emerging, and pop-rock was going on a decade-long hiatus. It's not so much that it wasn't promoted, the world just completely shifted on him....a classic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
You hit the nail on the head.
don't leave me to face this world, ALL ALONE!!!
Love this song, brings back alot of fond memories. .
I'd love to hear him recapture the magic of this song!!
takes me back to living in Cairns for six months back in 90 ....when this was on the radio......driving round in a conncil truck...great song ..
Leslie
I have been playing that tape and CD to death…
Absolutely one of the best performers! He found another calling then performing himself, but good he’s back again making music for us to enjoy!!
A driving rock song,one of those with the sun roof down and the sun at your back and hitting at least seventy on the freeway, just a dream for me,I can't drive,I can dream though, that's what rock is all about, Jude is behind that wheel, take us all home son
I remember hearing this song on "Friday Night 80s". Although this is an early 1990s song, it was played. "Pop Muzik" from 1979 was also played.
Wonderful lyrics ❤️😘😘 tonight I am here..arms to hold you tight and not let you go
One of my all time favorite songs from early 90's! Still sounds great!
The reclusive man,none of us know why?,he can rock, give it blues,he can take us anywhere,we won't let him face that world alone,we have been there, all alone, no good, together, plenty of good,we believe in you
Bad ass song, it's almost alternative rock, no doubt
I love this song. It brings back such great memories.
I miss those days!!
people looked at each other rather than their stupid gadgets!
Atlantic 252 played this and I was one of the few in the UK that bought the album.
one of the greatest Artists of our tine... ❤🙏
m
Another one of my most favorite artists!
I went to see him at Slims in San Francisco and sat two tables down from Kiefer Sutherland. The house rocked!
This guy's music is so underappreciated. I watched VH1 all the time in 1990-'93 and never ever heard this song, and I loved this type of music as a kid too.
I've been collecting his promo singles whenever I can. I have 10 or more now. This is one. Love his work!
Man I sure do miss the 1990's especially now with this crazy corona virus going on in 2020. Take us all back to the wonderful 1990's. The world was much better ❤️😘
I remember when this song came out. 1990.
Lo descubri hoy.buenisimo❤
This song will never get old. It could be released for the first time today and it would still be a hit.
Love this song, love the album, fantastic artist.
Brings back great memories of college, got this CD when it came put, great performer. Hasn't gotten his due.
Powerful drumming by the late,great Jeff Porcaro...
Jeff doesn't play on this track according to wikipedia.
I think Pat Mastelotto actually played drums on this song.
Una obra de arte que debería haber recibido elogios .
Start The Car and View From 3rd Street were absolute masterpieces that should have been huge . Not a weak song on either . Tell The Truth is one of the best songs ever performed .
God I love RUclips. I remember a not so distant time when you had an earworm of an old song stuck in your head & it wasn't so readily available to play and blast up at a high volume! This technological instant gratification at your finger tips times we live in today does indeed have its advantages 🤣

Weird, this tune just popped into my head for the first time in decades. Absolutely could not think who sang it. Glad I finally found it.
View from 3rd Street always reminds me of an incredible summer of '90 hanging with friends at the lake. Hard to believe how many years ago that was!
Freakin hell he was so damned good looking, probably still is. I've been listening to his music since the 80's. Never understood why his career didn't skyrocket. 3:)
Thanks for Professor of Rock reminding me I use to sing this at the top of my lungs while commuting to college. Sad state of radio made me completely forget this song.
I just love the song by Jude Cole "Baby It's Tonight" 💖😍💖😍💖😍💖😍💖😍💖😍💖😍💖😍💖
Brings back memories. I think mark & brian had him on few times . 🤠🎸
Should have been #1 in Australia and the US. STILL sounds great 30 years on. The mark of a very good song and singer.
Yes Robert, a very crisp song & voice. We sure need HQ music like his today.
I stumbled on this, it’s been a while since I’ve heard this or his name for that matter, great song!!!
omg!! I am making a playlist of songs from 1990 (20 yrs ago)..most of the songs I remember! I havebeen putting in ones that made a decent climb, but don't recognize hoping to find one like this!!! 20 yrs later and I remember!!
That's a great point. What happened to MTV? In a galaxy long, long away they actually played music videos. Now, they have switched to somekind of reality based program. I am so sick of reality shows where the main theme is how drunk and stupid they can get! Wake up MTV!! There are still many people who would like to watch and listen to music videos. By the way, great song by Jude. Thanks for posting.
ME TO!!! Crazy! I had to call a d.j. and sing it over the phone to get Jude Cole....
That is AWESOME! LOL You just got a smile from me! 😂

One reason he didn't make it as big as he or his fans may have wanted was because the contemporary icon of late 80s/early 90s young American Caucasian male solo pop-rock singer/writer/guitarist was already filled by Richard Marx, who dominated with 14 top 20 songs, 9 of those top 10, which included 3 number 1s.
However, this is one of my favorite songs of all time, none of which are Marx's.
Gorgeous man!
This guy simply has talent.....underrated......Thanx for the memories Jude!
First heard this when on holiday in Florida it was getting a lot of airplay but it wasn't till years later when again in the US on hol's I found "a View from 3rd St" in the music section of Target and bought it. Jude is a great musician who I wish had made it to the UK I still love his song's and regularly play them
What a great song, takes me back to the 90s. Absolutely a brilliant song. This guy is extremely underrated. I hope he is sitting wealthy somewhere enjoying his life.
