Underrated how, It was a hit single in many countries and the album it came off of with his name on it was also a hit.................I heard this song on absolute radio 3 weeks ago
This song still gives me chills with the haunting sound. Robbie Nevil, Dead or Alive, and Murray Head "One night in Bangkok" always sounded so damn good and had some of the same sounds like with this tune! :-) Robbie could flat sing!!! He still writes and produces music for other artists.
This is not an idle comment, because I met Gino Vanelli when he first came to Ontario to audition for an agent. I bought Robbie Nevils' cassette as soon as I heard him on the radio... and if he and Gino ever got together...
Robbie Neville was a really great vocalist, and an even better songwriter. His ability not create lyrics that touch the listener was remarkable. This particular song has a VERY 1980's groove (overdriven bass, female high harmony voicings for the Hook/Chorus, etc), but that's what worked back then.
I remember listening to this on Radio 1, David Kid Jensen doing the top 40 on a Sunday afternoon in 1987, I remember this and Mirage's Jack Mix 2 so vividly!
Serious classic from 1987, remember this very,very well! Remember recording it off David 'Kid' Jenson chart show on a Sunday afternoon in 1987 and still have the tape!
Great follow-up to "C'est la Vie" and I think a better song in many ways, extremely well-produced, very thickly layered. You try singing that chorus sometime... Thanks for posting.
"Soldiers of fortune surrender like children and follow wherever she leads/And they all fall down . . . ." Truer words were never sung/spoken. This is my absolute favorite Robbie Nevil jam! This song touched my spirit, as it did many of us in the hood. I aspire to be like Mr. Nevil insofar as he has made far more money behind the scenes versus being in the spotlight. I only say this because of my age. Viva la 80's!
I had forgotten how good this album was, til i heard it again you, ll never ever i mean ever hear music as great as this again and the music of this century is living proof of that
Heard this on an 80s radio station a few days ago. Really like this song and forgot just how good it is. Though radio played the hell out of "Wot's it to ya" & "C'est La Vie" I always thought this was a better song with an awesome hook.
Robbie, I remember when you took a break from working at Marjan's Restaurant in Brentwood with my husband -and the "Beach Fellowship on Sundays"- to play your guitar and sing to me for the first time on the bluff's of Santa Monica. You were maybe 18-19!!!! The music you wrote in your teens was better than anything on radio at the time. I knew you were unique, mega talented, and would be very successful. I played this cassette till it broke back in the day. Still want you to sing for God!!
Heard this today on Marathon Radio chart from May 1987, I had completely forgotten about this song & can honestly say I hadn’t heard it since 1987. Great tune
great song!I loved that so much & still so I do.I used to play it on my taperecorder even 10 times a day when I was aged about 12 or 13.Thanx for uploading.
@@williamscott6406 They were my favorite group, because they weren't wholly good nor bad a completely neutral gray force. Also, Rapture's interest in the occult always fascinated me because I am a Wiccan.
Never mind him being good looking in his hair! He made 3 wonderful albums. Period! I am (curently) looking him up to see what he is up to right now. (I am patheticly late, I know). But he had got something good going on with his songs and songwriting. Don't You agree!? Sweden
He is working as a successful Music Producer for other Music Artists, and He has created the Music for 'High School Musical' as well as 'Hannah Montana'.
I absolutely love this song and video...Robbie has this "Jim Morrison" thing about him ( with extra hair) and the enthusiastic girls are just perfect with the vocals!
I remember when this song was on Americas Top 40 with Casey Kasem on March 30th 1987. 92Q WRQC played it, another great tune seldomly played GREAT TUNE 👍🎵
Robbie nevils 1986 debut is an 80s classic full of excellent songwriting and full of soul and funk to me reminiscent of Sly and the family Stone this is just my thoughts
This song is awesome! I never heard it on the radio in the mid late 80s for some reason, it also has an excellent extended version thats really great as well!

This never gets played on 80’s radio station. So many are missing out on a great song
This has to be one of the most underrated songs of the entire eighties.
Underrated how, It was a hit single in many countries and the album it came off of with his name on it was also a hit.................I heard this song on absolute radio 3 weeks ago
Underrated here in the U.S. , it only went to # 14 in 1987 and none of the retro 1980's stations play it today. Never heard of absolute radio...
Absolutely
agreed!
Definitely, compared to "C'est La Vie" and "What's It To Ya."
Love the song...love Robbies voice...so jealous of that hair..this is one of the BEST SONGS of the 80's!!
And he still has it, and he still fine as ever!
Only hit #14- craziness but 1987 was one of the best years for music too many good songs
jhrrussell2-Only hit #14 you say-Well it was a big hit so who cares...You make it sound like it got to number 42 in the Billboard hot 100
@@mikekaraokeI think he’s saying it it should have been a top three smash hit…as it should have been 😊
I won this album from a radio station contest! I still have it to this day!
Awesome
That’s so cool! ❤
His best , and yeah love the hair. Who's listening in 2023
This song still gives me chills with the haunting sound. Robbie Nevil, Dead or Alive, and Murray Head "One night in Bangkok" always sounded so damn good and had some of the same sounds like with this tune! :-) Robbie could flat sing!!! He still writes and produces music for other artists.
Yeah, he did good with all that music he wrote for HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL (Disney)
I just heard this song on the 80's channel on SiriusXM and I remembered how much I liked it. Love 80's music!
One of the greatest songs i have ever heard.A true,genuine classic which will stand the test of time.
jesss i like the bass and nevils singing
Love this song, one of the best of the 80's
It took me almost 30-years to find the name of an artist as well as a song. Great underrated song from the 1980’s. Cheers!
Me too, one day l suddenly thought of the mtv video music l saw in 1987 & tracked it down
Loved the 80's. One of my favorites
One of Mr. Nevil's best songs.
Still listening into 2023. I still have the cassette album.
I love Robbie Nevil's voice, amaaaaaaaazingly talented
super voice.
Good song. The video is the reason it wasn't more popular.
This is not an idle comment, because I met Gino Vanelli when he first came to Ontario to audition for an agent.

I've always loved this guy! Very underrated!!
One of my all-time favorite songs!! Highly underrated!!!💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
The chorus has always stuck in my head for years!!!the other night I finally found the name of this song.

Hello Donna how are you doing?
@@williamscott6406 Hello !! Do I know you??
His best track IMO.
Yes! Better than C'est La Vie for sure.
ESCUCHANDOLA EN 2024 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was nuts about Robbie Nevil and his great music. Still love him... and the 80s did rock.
This song will always be one of The Best 80's songs ever...
Great song from the 80's!
thought he would be a huge star, had the looks and voice
Me too! Shoulda been yuuuuuuuge!
I Loved and Still Love This Song!
Robbie's debut cassette is one of my favorite cassettes of the 80s. Now I'll have to dig it out of my artifacts & listen to it.
Excellent song.
Mark O'Reilly ....YES ❤️❤️
Great song from back in the day
80’s had the best music/singers! And what kids- no auto tune
Serious classic from 1987, remember this very,very well! Remember recording it off David 'Kid' Jenson chart show on a Sunday afternoon in 1987 and still have the tape!
I remember only seeing the video only once on MTV back then and never seeing it again.
This has to be one of the classiest songs from the truely classy decade of the 1980's.
One of my favorites while at Air Force Technical School Lowry AFB Colorado in 1987.
The amazing sound is due to
RNevil's great voice, songs
AND production by Alex Sadkin who made this a perfect album.
Great bass line . Love the attitude of the backing vocal girl !
Tiyod123 Sure your Right🏖
Tiyod123 oh yeah!!
Love that crazy keyboard at the very beginning of this song.
WOW ! THAT'S AWESOME !!! ❤👍
Thank you so much for pisting this trasure !!! ❤👍👍👍
Such a beautiful song, why did it not get millions of views?
Chap has better hair than me .. LOVE this song
Great follow-up to "C'est la Vie" and I think a better song in many ways, extremely well-produced, very thickly layered. You try singing that chorus sometime...
Thanks for posting.
This is a great song. It's too bad it's been so forgotten.
So this was the song I remember hearing in Dominoes Pizza commercials way back when. I thought so, but wasn't sure. Great song!
Great song. One of the most underated artists of the '80s....if you ask me that is....
this was one of thefirst videos i ever saw on mtv in the early eighties, ah memories.
"Soldiers of fortune surrender like children and follow wherever she leads/And they all fall down . . . ." Truer words were never sung/spoken. This is my absolute favorite Robbie Nevil jam!

Just like going back to 1987, so classic!
Also in 2024. Love from 🇨🇭
I have always crushed on Robbie, wore out 2 of these cds...♥️
He's loved by many hated by few
This video is so Arcadia. Good memories. Love 80's.

Where has Mr. Nevil gone? It's like he had that one good year,1987, and then he was gone. Mr. Nevil, where art thou?
Robbie is a successful Music Producer for other Music Artists, and He created the Music for 'High School Musical' and 'Hannah Montana'.
Underrated artist for sure….
Defining song of the 80s sound... I always loved this underrated gem way more than c est la vie...

Love the bass player !! what a style !!!!!
My favorite Robbie Nevil song right here!!
2020 ... still loves the song
When hair never looked better. Takes me back.
So, I'm not the only 50 something woman missing all that was the 80s o.O
How old were you then you look like your 19, 80's were a great decade
I was real young, LOL! 80's music was a *blast*!
I'm not a 50 something, LOL
S Child #5 he had goidhair
Robbie singing with the two ladies makes me think of The Stingers from Jem. In fact this is probably the type of song that they would sing.
Yes I love stingers

@@julieporter7805 that's very much said and I would like us to get to know more about each other if you don't mind?
I love the 80's!
I love it more
How are you Jailyn

A real forgotten 80's gem this is
I absolutely love this song and video...Robbie has this "Jim Morrison" thing about him ( with extra hair) and the enthusiastic girls are just perfect with the vocals!
This song should have been #1 on america's top 40 in 1987!
I loved this song then and even more NOW!
Amazing artist, used to listen to him a lot back in the days...;D :D :D XXXXXXX
Love his voice I bought the album great song. He did beautiful on Silent Night with Stevie Nicks I don’t know what happened
loved his music
Boy if.... jellybean Benitez ever had a twin as far as Beautiful features and hair it would be this guy....Robbie Nevil...goodlord......😲
Wow! I miss the 80's! Love this! Thank you!🙂❤
