No other artist has such a powerful CLIMATIC ending like Benny delivered in this song.
#FACTS
I LOVE this song but the original video is really creepy ...lmao!!!
You're right. That's the word, Climatic. He was screaming in passion at the end. You can tell he never wanted anyone more badly in his life.
This is one of my favorite songs ever. All that emotion ... all that angst! What a voice Benny had!
Agreed!
I've listened to it maybe 50 times today.
The emotion Benny put into his singing is beyond better than most singers I have ever listened to in my life!❤
Benny Mardones lived in an apartment complex. He had a neighbor who was a struggling set creator on broadway. The family had come upon some tough times and had very little. When the father made it big, rather then help out the family he moved off with a 24 year old girl who was in the shows choir. One day the families 3 little kids came up to his door and began to cry, they told Benny that their Dad had left them. Benny told them that they would get through it. Benny created odd jobs for them throughout his apartment. The young boy would run out and get cigarettes for Benny and keep the change from 20$. The one girl would clean Benny's apartment for 50$ a week. The final daughter, 16 years old, would come over in the morning and let Benny's dog out. The 16 year old girl came in when he was writing the song. She came in after a night of writing and she came in to walk his dog. His partner with whom he was writing the song the song said "Oh wow," regarding how good looking she was for a 16 year old. Benny then said said "She's just 16 years old, just leave her alone." Straight from Benny's mouth. It was a great story.
I love this song. I was 16, he was 26. We had 41 years before I lost him 4 years ago. Our love was not wrong.
See him again in Heaven accept Christ if you haven't and pray for him if he wasn't Christian.
@@chrishey9879 He was. But if he hadn't been, praying for him now is too late.
@@LillyMarz777 no no in the Hebrew books like Macabees and stuff they prayed for the souls of the dead because remember the Great White Throne Judgement didn't happen yet. So there is hope perhaps.
@@chrishey9879 BACK OFF. How ARROGANT to inflict your religious vomit on a woman sharing a heartfelt story. It's literally none of your business.
I didn't marry mine and in fact he was just a huge crush (34) and a gentlemen who never laid a hand on me but he would sing this to me often. Such a different time. I am so sorry for your loss. Your love was NOT wrong. It truly was a different time.
Benny gave an interview shortly before he passed away to "The Professor of Rock"s you tube channel where he goes into detail about the song and the real girl who inspired this song. Benny was so humble. He even shed a tear during this interview. I Think this was a very powerful song.
I love Professor of Rock.
I have always loved this beautiful song. I'm glad others have already explained that it is NOT at all about a man creeping on a 16 year old. Knowing the real meaning behind the song makes it even more beautiful.
It’s unfortunate that they made the video they did to this song. In the video, he basically was a creeper. Anyone I introduce this song to, I pick a video with lyrics or the album cover just so they don’t see that awful video!
@@jeffstiteler2909 Just did this at work. Played a live performance video and told them the story behind it. Then loaded the music video and said " Brace yourselves"
The song is gorgeous.
I loved this song back in the day! I thought he was absolutely gorgeous and he had the most amazing voice! Rest in Peace Benny🙏✝️❤️
Funny how so many of we then 16 year olds were not offended by this in the least and in fact have many stories to go along with it. I can't say I wouldn't kick the ass of any man who tried to sing this to my granddaughter but this truly is a gorgeous song.
I saw an interview with Benny where he said he took care of the 16 yr old and her siblings after the father left the family on their own and that's really what the lyrics are about. The opening line came from a day when Benny and his writing partner were at his house and had been up all night struggling to write a song. The 16 yr old would walk Benny's dog, before school, for money for the family, and when she walked in the writing partner made a comment about her and Benny said she's 16 leave her alone and the rest of the song came after that. 🎶🎵
The video tells a different story and it’s creepy AF!
@@lauraburger1272his whole life was pretty much a tale of a good man. It's a song. I think personally he thought at 33 he could pass for 20 something and it didn't work.
@lauraburger1272 no you are a creepy witch
@@lauraburger1272true. He basically stalks an underage girl, sneaks into her room and abducts her. But I still love the song, video aside.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Watch the Live video. Back in those days, I wore out 3 of his cassette tapes. He had really good songs, but this one will never die. During the Vietnam war, he sang to his fellow soldiers, and they came to call him “The Voice” Its gone to #1, 2 to 3 times. RIP sweet Benny.
Makes me wanna cry every time I hear it 🥹his voice is untouchable
Yes his voice is one of the greatest ever
RIP Benny …still listening to this Beautiful song !
Benny should be consider for rock n roll hall of fame , AMC award for R&B song.❤❤❤❤
He had amazing vocal chords. RIP
This song is to this day one of the most played songs on the radio. It charted 3 different times with 2 of those times reaching the top 40. It's amazing how this song still resonates in our culture as one of the most romantic songs ever written. I actually thought this gentleman was a Black R&B artist myself until I saw the actual video many moons later. He's as white as Casper the friendly ghost! Just goes to show you how soul reaches all of us Soul to Soul! You either have IT... Or you don't have IT. Benny Mardones totally has that IT factor no doubt!
There is something about this song that gets me everytime…I love the haunting beginning
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever, period. This song and Journey's Ask the lonely and Only the young used to transport me out of this world.
I would have loved to hear Steve Perry cover this song back in the 80's!
You can feel this song in your bones! It was so hauntingly beautiful you could feel the love an pain in this song
Bennys voice is celestial..
The man was a singer. Thanks for reviewing. It's brings back lovely memories.
This song just tears me apart it so full of emotion. Loved it since it first came out back in the day. Never hear it enough.
Was a HUGE hit for him . Passed away a couple of years ago
I remember hearing this song when I was younger and was simply moved by how beautiful Benny's voice was as if his heart was breaking. I did not relate it to an older man after a young girl, rather this guy wanting to save this person from a bad situation and show them compassion and be a hero. Perhaps I was wrong but it still has a beautiful sound and makes me emotional every time I hear it. I want to add that Asia's reaction is exactly the same mood I felt hearing it. I would want to slow dance too!🧡 Slow dance with your girl BJ!!😊
Everytime I watch people react to Benny . . . the women just be cheesin' 20 seconds in and they stay that way through the whole dang song!
The fellas are always just nodded their head, closing their eyes and and steady vibin'! 🎼🎶🎵
1980 in the hizzy . . . hell of a time for music, kid!
How do I now?
Huh, I was there, fam!
#respect
#RIPBenny🙏🏽🪦
With the opening line, "She's just 16 years old, leave her alone, they said," we understand if you think this song sounds a little statutory. Benny Mardones told Songfacts that the 16-year-old girl he's singing about was named Heidi, and she lived in his apartment in Spanish Harlem. Their relationship was purely platonic, however, as Benny looked after Heidi and her family after her father left. Benny would pay her $50 a week to walk his basset hound, Zanky.
He should have made that more apparent in the lyrics. As is it sounds I song we shouldn't be celebrating. Great vocals though. The words just really don't sit well with this sexual assault victim.
@@KimbaLoveAdams Agree. I urge you to go to Songfacts and read the entire write up that explains the impetus and story behind the song. Sorry to hear that happened to you Kim.
Agreed! He took a lot of heat over it because people would rather hear a good story whether it’s true or not.
@@keylimekisses
Still a good song.
You are absolutely correct Mark, I'm glad you and others made comments to explain it!
I saw him 3 times...he's a legand in Central NY..The Voice. .underrated artist!❤❤ Keep on keeping on! Check out more.
Beautifully done Benny. RIP
Look at her reaction!! His voice, the words, the melody is affecting her!! She is getting in the mood 😂
Benny is an amazing vocalist Rock On😎💯🤘
"It's like having it all / And watching it fall apart" one of many lyrics that hit home with me. Singing resonated with a profound anguish groove
Damn this song is so fire 🔥
This song was played at a lot of proms back in the day. And yes it was slow danced to.
🤣. 🥰
Benny was known as the Voice in New York.
👍
Asias' smile is priceless every time he says "If I could fly, I'll pick you up...
This is just one of those songs that has absolute magic. There is nor formula to create this and that's what makes it special.
I am fortunate enough to be from Syracuse NY. Benny's favorite place to play. Saw him so many times. Concerts, Springfest, even walked beside him in our St. Patrick's Day parade. His nickname was "The voice" and now you know why. He is a great trail to explore as all his songs are just as powerful.
Mr. American Bandstand
She's so French
Sheila C
Mighta been love
How could you love me
just to name a few
He wasn't called The Voice for nothing.....miss and love you Benny!! 🥹💗🌈
Always loved this great song. The delivery is perfect. And yeah, it is timeless.
This song originally peaked #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1980. Nine years later, a Phoenix radio station featured it on their "Where Are They Now?" feature. It got picked up again by many DJs and added to their playlists. The song went on to peak at #20. It is only one of ten songs to achieve this.
On a Showtime special tribute to Roy Orbison, Benny performed "Running Scared" to a tremendous ovation from the packed audience. Somewhere on YT, there is a poor-quality video of this outstanding performance in which you can gauge the power of Benny's voice.
He did live on the Merv Griffin show !
He still did it great even live then.
Benny Mardones passed away three years ago, yesterday, June 29th, 2020 from Parkinson's Disease. RIP, Brother. 😢
It’s 2024 and it’s still 🔥. RIP Benny. You dropped a gem on us.
I remember this song when I was a 15 and the boy I liked was 17 is was magic the. And I love it more now.
There is a story behind this song that people should learn about.
That was perfect, what a voice, i love it, only Bennett could sing that song, the way he did it.
I guarantee that someone from Syracuse, New York comments about Mardones. They love him and he loved them. Lol.
You got that right, he’s beloved here for sure
Awesome song...Benny's song gets right to my soul... Met my husband at 17 and he was 26 got married to him at 18 and still with my soul mate 50 years strong
Oh; that's beautiful!!!
Trust me the live version sounds just as great. A true great singer, no Auto tune. One of the greatest voices in my long time listening to music in addition one of the greatest songs ever. A top tier singer!!!!!!
Pitch perfect.
People may issues with the beginning of the song but this song is a beautifully constructed masterpiece.
Benny Mardones...R.I.P.
I love this song played the album over and over
The lyrics are unfortunate but his voice is pure flerken gold! It's a shame he never got bigger.
Learn about why her wrote it. And it's not what you think.
Check out Professor of Rock interview with Benny Mardones about this song on RUclips about the story of this song. Amazing story!
It's about helping a poor family. One being the 16 girl in this song.
Love this song 🎵 He's got the perfect rasp to his voice !
I think it put Goosebumps on her That song just came all over her
I love this song and the way Benney sang it was/is indescribable, as well as the back ups by his band.
Love this song and artist, so underrated sadly no longer with us, this song comes under the genre of ' Yacht Rock ' here in the UK ❤❤❤
Awesome that u are keeping great songs like this alive for different generations. Blessings to u
Benny's best known song. But my favorite is Mighta been love. RIP Benny. Thank you for the great songs.
Mr Benny passed away in not long ago just a phenomenal musician he had parkinson's disease he was in his late 30,s we he done this song this song really is about a young girl and her brother he took in and cared for for a while there daddy ran off and left them so he wanted to give them a better life than they were receiving at that time 😇🙏
"Into The Night" is the song that's similar to a car wreck, it's disturbing but you can't turn away. His voice was amazing, it's baffling how he was a one hit wonder, with that gravelly, throaty voice and range, I don't think I know anyone that doesn't like the song. It's definitely on a the cringey side lyric wise, but dayum, it's still to this day one of my absolute favorites. It came out in 1980, right after I got married, I had just turned 17 yrs old so it wasn't that cringy to me then, but as the years went by, I started thinking, yeah, a bit creepy, but still badass. Edit: As far as it seeming familiar, chances are it's not familiar to something else because one thing about this song, I don't think there's ever been one like it. The story Benny gave about the lyrics is that he helped a family in the building he lived in by paying the daughter to walk his dog and his friend was over, they were writing music, the friend made a comment about her being attractive or something like that and he said "whoa, she's just 16 yrs old"!
Damn!! I love this song sooo much! I call it my number #1 …one hit wonder ❤❤ Benny Mardones was super talented!!
thank you! ... Benny Mardones was first discovered literally coming off a bus from Savage, MD by Joel Diamond. Joel gave Benny his opportunity to write and sing his first recordings. Joel produced Benny's first record called "Please Say You Want Me" followed by Joel producing "Tomorrow Means Another Day We're Apart" having gotten Benny a deal on CBS Records. Benny certainly carved out a major recording career after that having written and produced on of the most iconic rock songs ever and to this day, still in the Top 25 most played songs on the radio, "INTO THE NIGHT". It was Joel who made the Mike Curb connection for Benny to re-record "Into The Night" which landed him his second Top 10 record with the same song. It was only recently that Joel took Benny back in the studio to record "Into The Night" for the third time.
Benny Mardones has the distinction and unmatched record of having had the same song "Into The Night", recorded by the same artist Benny Mardones, different labels and decades, FIVE (5) times charted on the Billboard charts. Benny is also being considered for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Benny passed away much too early in June, 2020.
Loved it when it came out in the 80s!
I’m in love with this song the range of his singing is just so beautiful 🙏🌹💋🙏🌹💋
TIME DOESNT TAINT GREAT SONGS! Actually one of my favorite songs ever
I agree with a gentleman on RUclips analyzes songs saying He can outsing many singers. Should of been more successful, the right doors unfortunately didnt open for him. RIP Benny may God rest his soul.
The story is that there was a family in Benny's NY apartment building that needed help and they had a 16 year old daughter. So Benny paid her $50 a week to come in to his place and walk his dog and feed it before she went to school in the morning. One night his partner and him at been up all night writing songs and stuff and they heard a key in the door, it was morning. She came in to take care of the dog and he described her as 16 going on 21, mini skirt and high heels. His partner was really shocked and he was like, wow! Benny said he looked at him and said, "No man she's just 16, leave her alone." The rest is history. :)
This dude could sing!
Love this is song Benny brung the strength in this song
What a beautiful story n song his voice is soooo soulful
If you’re a Nreaking Bad fan, this song plays in the background as Jessie attaches his moped to the outside of
The Quickie Mart to meet up with Walt❣️❣️
I heard the song and it instantly grabbed me 2024. The lead singer is Magnificent. But not only the lead the back up singer, band and arrangement on the back up vocals and music..(whoever wrote and arranged) is Genius. But probably because today’s music is 👎🏾👎🏾 Someone said this song sound haunting. And it’s so old it is a little eerie.
happy you guys loved that song. my parents loved it too, but thought "wth is he talking about"? anyway couple years ago i found out benny wrote the song about a family without a mother where the dad picked up and abandoned his two kids the older one a sixteen yr old girl. a sad story that had a future good turn. that girl benny wrote about and helped in a small financial way as he could.... as he was a broke musician at the time.... was interviewed on media when the song broke out..... and met a wealthy developers son working at the media outlet.... and they would marry later on. the girl of course an adult as time passed, kept in touch.
Always loved this song. Not sure maybe had a song or so after this but this was his biggest hit. To me it's 🔥🔥🔥FIRE! Sadly he passed some time ago. One of the best voices I've ever heard in my 60 plus yrs of listening to music.
Love the song and his voice
Mucha nostalgia😢 escuchar esta HERMOSÍSIMA CANCIÓN 😩❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰
Amazing voice. Gets me every time.
This man could SANG!!! ❤❤❤
This one's a banger for sure. You gotta follow this up with At This Moment by Billy Vera and The Beaters.
I LOVE that song so much.
The reason you think you might have heard this song before is . . . it's in the top TWENTY-FIVE of all time played songs on the radio.
RIP Benny Mardones😢.
Great song great vocals
Watch the video it’s a bit creepy
Always loved this song. One of the best.
I used to listen to this song all the time. it was a great song especially his voice his rough vocals kind of reminded me of Joe Cockers voice because of the gravelly rough way his voice would get when he sang. And let me just say I agree with Asia if I liked in anyway shape or form any kind of dancing I would definitely see this song as a good song to slow dance to
❤ Great song, great voice. ❤
This is my first time ever hearing this song and the artist
I just love watching your reactions to this song! I love this song, I was only 7 years old when it came out! No one I’ve ever heard can sing and bring forth his message like him. There’s NO SHAME IN THIS SONG. WE ARE ALL FREE PEOPLE AND WE CAN LOVE WHO WE WANT TO LOVE. R.I.P. BENNY MARDONES WE LOVE YOU!!
Many people unfortunately link this song with underage things, but it's far from the truth. It's about taking a young girl away from the trouble caused by her father leaving, being left to raise her siblings, and in an interview, Benny said that he helped out the small family. I might have it wrong on some parts of it though.
Professor of Rock just covered this. THe back story is incredible.
Love Benny
Benny entertaining in heaven
Incredibly beautiful song!!
This songs got SOUL!
Omg... I get to listen to this fantastic song with you!
Benny was awesome!
WHEN BENNY DIED MY REACTION WAS JUST LIKE OTHER PEOPLES REACTION TO ELVIS DYING. I STILL AM UPSET THAT HES GONE. HE ACTUALLY TRIED TO REACH OUT TO ME BUT I MISSED THE PHONE CALL AND I WILL NEVER FORGET IT. MISS HIM SO MUCH.
MELANIE MILLS
A masterpiece you no longer see actually, along with some others like Bobby Caldwell's "What you won't for love" and a handfull of others.
Quem Dançou nos Bailes dos Anos 80, lembra!!! Show.
Usher did a banging remake of this song but this original song is addictive, I have to listen to it at least ten times over and over
Im baffled why he wasn't as successful or near the success that Steve Perry had. Im listening to music over 60 yrs his voice was phenomenal. Im a huge fan of Steve but he is definitely competion. Would have loved to hear him do Unchained Melody, im serious. Absolutely beautiful song.
One of the greatest performers live incredible voice
Es imposible no reaccionar con ésta canción es expectacular 😍😍
I was so surprised to see this singer. That voice. He was so tiny
He had a one of a kind of voice that is missed
One of my personal favorites! Love it!
They call him THE VOICE. R.I.P. Benny Marsones! 🔥🤘😎
