    Haven't heard this one in a long time, but I still remember the lyrics like it was yesterday. That is the mark of a great songwriter. Takes you right back to where you were when you first heard it, and the memories that it invokes.

      That's the thing about Dennis's music. Even if you haven't heard one of his songs for YEARS... you can sing his lyrics without skipping a beat. Like you say... it's like you just heard it like it was yesterday.

    Glory of Love charted and had a lot of airplay back 1986 but, I'm surprised this song never had any airplay and I listened to the radio a lot then. This song is so underrated and the surprise appearance of my teen crush Tamlyn Tomita in the video is a topper.

    This is one of my FAVORITES! I assume it was written about you and Suzanne? My favorite line...”You never wanted any fortune or fame you said, baby just give me your heart. Now I’m telling you, without any shame, that you were right from the start.” That and the few lines that follow are, in my mind, the essence of your successful marriage. Your feet are squarely on the ground. Love this song!

    Dennis, the opener reminded me that I once asked a waiter what a fly was doing in my soup - to which he replied after looking at it curiously - "I believe it's having a stroke sir." I'm just glad he didnt charge me for the extra meat, I'm loving this music video, bro! You're always awesome, with never a let down moment. Thumbz Up!
