I hav followed texas for many years, luv Charlene she is a brilliant singer nd musician ❤ , she has a great personality also beautiful 😍, their music 🎶 soothes my soul. Luv them. Xx
History tells us that Sharleen was a hairdresser/singer who was reluctant to step into the spotlight because she was shy. But when she embraced the truth that she could sing, elevated this band to global success. Her singing voice is in the contralto vocal range, a very special voice. And man did they spoil us with a sound that transcended Glasgow, and took us all the way to the Mississippi.
What an ironic Scottish lass. A brilliant advocate to rock music. Shows poise grace style and attitude. A hypnotic bass line rhythm that rolls and a lead guitarist that's both haunting but also shows great inspiration. A song that lives on . And a fantastic layout of lyricism all combined to thrill. Keep it rocking 💯 classic. Thankyou as always xxxx
Saw Texas live before the first album was released, stood literally 6 feet from them, probably the best concert I have ever gone to, travelled all the way to St Andrews to she them and Gun, less than 100 in the student union, as soon as the albums where released I bought both and still love their music 30+ years on…
Sharleen est comme Obélix !!! Elle est tombée dans une marmite remplie de notes de musique !!!! Tout au fond de la marmite il y avait une superbe guitare 🎸🤪🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 Pile poil à sa taille et la bonne dimension pour qu'elle puisse s'amuser avec sa guitare 🎸🤪 Et ses notes de musique !!! 🤪🎸🎸🎸🎸🥰🥰🎵🎵🎵🎼🎼🎹🎼🎼🎵🎶🎶🎸🎸 Sharleen a réussi à s'imposer parmi tous ses amis !!!!! Quel chemin parcouru depuis tout ce temps !!!👌👌🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎼🎹🎹🎹🎼🎼🎼🎶🎶🎵🎤🎤🎤 Bravo Sharleen 👌👌🥰🤪🤪🤪🤪
Oh 💩 yea ! While she's still a beautifully stunning singer/songwriter. First time i saw @Texas play live was incredible, but i couldn't help think. Wow! That's probably the natural beautiful woman I'd ever seen ❤️🔥 While i knows its supposed to be the musical talents of the musicians and the sound, plain truth is both men and women are sight senory above all the other senses and Damm she had it ! What an Artist 😊😊
1990 the year i was mered my Wife. I was 27 and my Wife is with my Daughter is the Best for my Life. And this Song remembering this all Years . Thanks for posting. God bless Texas all Times.
I'm not sure if it's the song, her accent, or her eyes but damn.... Could even be that hint of a smile that I could handle seeing every day for the rest of my life.
I was singing out very very loud "I don't want a lover " , while dancing with my girlfriends at any bar , laughing as crazy , believing every word of it , ...But then I met you, and you were the love of my life. 1990 . Time won't be back. ❤❤
I never made it to this event,but for me @Texas and Charlene in particular were The Best Live Act i ever saw. They're performances on stage were perfection💘🎶🥁✌️
@@anja9303 as someone who loves souls and doesn't care what a beautiful person looks like I still find her a very attractive woman because of what she is and not what she looks like. Further more, she hasn't exactly been beaten with the ugly stick.
I remember March 1990, due to work I spent 3 weeks in Edinburgh. One night, Friday, Saturday(?), local co-workers invited me to a pub/club Texas did perform also this song. Back at home in the Netherlands, early April, Texas just entered the dutch hit parade with this song. First thing to do, when the album came out, I bought it. Both because the music as well as the remindings of this special evening.
One of my favourite bands of all times and the best female voice off a lead singer in a band...marvelous...they had it all...pop,rock,beautiful songs,love,songs,great musicians,wonderful words,charisma and really outstanding music...
C'est une chanson de l'année 1990 !!! Charleen avait déjà une approche avec son public !!!🤪😘😛💇🤪😘 C'est très talentueux et audacieux de la part de Charleen !!😛😛😘 Un grand merci pour m'avoir permis de m'exprimer ainsi Nathalie Chocron

Seit ich das Gefunden habe, ist es mein Song, ganz Tolle Frau und Sängerin, Performance.
Texas... Ça c'était du rock.. (isnt'it?). Merci du partage. ........
Es muss ja nicht immer Motörhead sein.
No face metal , no bats on her eyes , no Donald Duck lips or plastic forehead , just sheer natural beauty .
Voice like a honey coated thunderstorm,
Could play the audience like Alex Harvey.
She's an absolute babe.....
Ayeeeee

Incredible sheer natural beauty
Bats 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nothing fake, just pure talent. Fantastic and still sounds so good ❤️👍🏻

I can listen to the whole Texas discography for hours and never get tired of it. So many great songs, and so many hidden gems in all the albums.
Real music, real band, years 90 it´s best .
Ich weiß, das es viele nicht mehr hören können aber ich MUSS es trotzdem sagen: Die 90 war einfach so eine super geile Zeit.
One of the best female vocalists of all time.
Along with Annie Lennox?

The most amazing thing I find is that she used to be a hairdresser! She looks like she used a bowl to cut her hair !

Gorgeous then, amazing now. As a Weegie (Glaswegian) everything about this woman, her voice, her attitude, her humility, gives me goosebumps.
Tottally agree! But now 30 years later....?
@@anja9303 as someone who loves souls and doesn't care what a beautiful person looks like I still find her a very attractive woman because of what she is and not what she looks like. Further more, she hasn't exactly been beaten with the ugly stick.
Just what every musician misses these days, a stack of Floppy Discs at the ready.
These Song brings me to honest Music in the early 90's. Voice , Drums ,Guitar❤
We were all so young and optimistic
Timeless Song !!😀😀😀😀😀
Yep, i still have a crush on her 32 years later 😉
Well I got some bad news about what she's looking for....
My ex girl had a crush on her, too.
Great song, and always had a huge crush on this lady ❤️
as she got older better person and better looking
En 1985 je l'écoutais en allant travaillé à la Sabena ma jeunesse et j 'écoute toujours et j ai toujours les CD's originaux de 1985
Le lecteur des disques était inventé en 1985, n'est-ce pas?
It's brilliant!
....und dat is 33 Jahre her. Dat war doch gestern - oder? Da war ich 27. Hau die Omma............
I played this song in my car in 1990.
I've never see or listen this beautyfull voice and woman,❤guys I'm in love❤
if only you could go back in time
Very underated band back in the day...30 years ago.
Love them!
A true musician sounds just as good live as they in the studio, well done Texas, not shabby on the eye either
That wonderfull smile between 1.00 and 1.05... and also the rest of them :-)
Great music at a great time!
She is still beautiful.
but she doesn't want a lover :-)
Just the voice and the bassline.
The rest is fuckin' awesome!
She is just a natural beauty self-styled individual that stands out and she knows it never left the band that made her
So much talent,
I was lucky enough to see them in 89
🎉🎉
