    Everyone of a certain age is strolling down memory lane right about now! How can you not love this song when you cried right along with Alex when Ellen broke his heart? The happy footnote is that they they have been married in real life for over 30 years! ❤

      Personally, I love that 2 teen TV idols of the 1980s [Michael J Fox and Kirk Cameron] both married their in-show girlfriends and are still happily married to this very day ❤

      I bawled my eyes out watching that episode of Family Ties, and every time I hear this song, I am right back there in the throes of all that teenage angst. 😭💗😭

    This is THE best torch song ever. Billy is nearly 80 years old now. With that voice, he should have been VERY big. I heard him sing this song in person about five years ago, and the pipes still work great.

    Thanks for playing Billy Vera. All of us old dogs in our 70's love this song. The ladies loved this song. It's pure singing, no autotune,
    great lyrics, great musicians in the Beaters. You don't hear music like this style these days. Great reaction, too.

    I'm 55 and of course first learned this song when it was used years after Billy recorded it, in "Family Ties".
    This song and particularly this version is one I've loved since the 1980s and I love that Michael J Fox and his future wife are still together to this day!

    Saw Billy and the Beaters several times at a little club in Santa Monica call, At my Place. Very very good live, he can really sing and the band is great, met billy and most of the band as the club was a small venue. Billy is very entertaining with stories and has a great sense of humor. One of the best live acts I've witnessed and I've been to a lot of concerts.

    Billy became very popular during this time. He performed on the tonight show starring Johnny Carson. He also had an appearance singing some music in the 1987 movie "Blind Date" starring Bruce Willis, Kim Basinger and John Larroguette. From the aforementioned, you'll definitely want to check out some of his other songs... "Oh What A Nite", "Here Comes The Dawn Again" and "Let You Get Away".
