@@pressuredrop6173Indiana wants me is a song I remember playing on the radio in my childhood. I've since revisited it and was blown away!! The strings are amazing
So sorry 💔❤️🩹 didn’t know until now another great soul as gone upstairs,let’s go somewhere what a Motown legend in his own right god bless thank you for your music and inspiration,good bye my friend and praisebe with you 😪
This reminds me of my first holiday with my boyfriend in Newquay, Cornwall in the late sixties. We would go to a pub in the town every night and this song would be on the jukebox. I’m now 72 and just about to celebrate 50 wonderful years of marriage to that same guy.
Yes my stepmum passed away April 2019 of cancer ad this was her favourite RDT song. I play it hoping she can still hear it in heaven 🙏 miss you mum❤🌈❤🌈
Still a great memory jerker !! of the late 60's, especially me driving up from South Wales on the ' Heads of the Valley' road toward the midlands & on to the Manchester area on wet Friday nights, just to get home to my fiance. Played it threadbare along with 'There's a ghost in my house' , Great songs, bloody good artist, and fantastic memories of the 60's / early 70's. Where did they all go ?? LOL

Ronnie Damnitz - god no! But I sure wish I had the talent to come up with that tune. Btw tho totally unconnected can see the influence of this in Billy Oceans Red Light Spells Danger another cracking tune
Hi marc! When i mentioned writer i was referring to the script writer of tv comedies. Well you have good taste in music and im sure your talented as well! Take care marc
I remember hearing this on a jukebox in a bowling alley where we spent many summer afternoons, and fell in love. It seemed to speak of all the pent up passion a 15 year old girl feels. Great memories.
Such a fantastic song , Ardene Taylor is and was such a fabulous singer songwriter , love listening to all of his wonderful songs Thanks Frank Gissane Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
Agree with rene bosman on the mysterious bass rhytm, then those strange melody lines until the sudden cascade of rain and you were alone on the road in your car, desperately longing to see Jane, hopefully no police would notice you speeding, and did they, maybe they´d forgive you, after alll, you just gotta see Jane... I love this 47 years old song, one of those that still give me goose bumps...
I was 15, a wonderful time for music. I couldn't understand why this wasn't even more popular than it was at the time, then two years later Indianna Wants Me. Love the understated orchestral section too.
I was 18 and serving my apprenticeship and my mate and I from work took the tranny with us everywhere and we sung our lungs out when this and Indiana wants me came on, funny thing is my wife was born in 66, and one of her favourite records is there’s a ghost in my house by r dean Taylor, enjoy the music and the memories
Saw the title, but didn't really recognize it. The tune seemed vaguely familiar, but as soon as he sang "Red light.." it all came flooding back . . . "green light, driving through the dark night, oooh, I gotta see Jane" It's been years. Thanks for uploading this.
Taylor deserved better than just legacy nostalgia among audiophiles. Although he had generous airplay of his catchy songs back in the day, for some reason his stuff never caught on.
Ghosts of visions in the mind boggling how one's in hands in hands fingers in each fingers holding hands that love was one's mine Jane Elizabeth Hannam from Baildon UK Yorkshire
I just put the name of the song in, but never expected to find it - and in such a high quality! I played this single until I wore it out on my parents' monogram. I loved it as a young kid and still love it now. Thanks for uploading and sharing!
Takes me back to my youth I loved this, sadly I can remember my youth when I listen to this but I can not go back to my youth sigh its a hard unfair life
Not certain but I think he may also have had a hand in co writing standing in the shadows of love .I know that he wasn't always credited for his contribution.
It took time for a Canadian singer/songwriter to make it, as CKLW shockingly didn't play much Canadian recordings until a legislation was passed in 1970 to get more Canadian recording artists on the radio. CKLW at first resisted, but eventually gave in to pressures. Ironically, once it hit in 1971, "Gotta See Jane" was R.D.'s biggest hit Canada, even bigger than "Indiana Wants Me", which was his biggest U.S .hit.🍁🍁🍁🍁R.I.P. R. Dean Taylor, a true Canadian legend, and a legend in Detroit in the early 70's as well.🍁🍁🍁🍁
This Canadian dude was great. Lyrics....Red light, green light, Speedin' trough the dark night, Drivin' trough the poundin' rain I gotta see Jane Windshield wiper splashin', Splashin', callin' out her name Just gotta see Jane I left her arms to find my way To find a place for me in the world outside I wasn't alive, I could not survive The frantic pace, the constant chase To win the race, turned my heart cold inside I gotta find what I left behind Red light, green light, Speedin' through the dark night, Drivin' through the poundin' rain, I gotta see Jane Freeway, byway, Earin' up the highway, Runnin' up a world insane Just gotta see Jane A town of steel that isn't real It could not feel what's in the heart of me I was so alone in a world of stone I missed her arms, that once held me That made me see, I was the lonely one But now and then I was runnin' scared And I could feel the touch of time Turnin' the wheel of life to yesterday When love and happiness were mine I gotta find that world of Jane and me Liked it used to be Oh, I gotta see Jane Her love for me I pushed aside Walked out alone To face a world turned cold Although I tried I could not survive The frantic pace, the constant chase To win the race, it's not a part of me I've gotta find what I left behind Oh, I gotta see Jane, I gotta see Jane
This song filmed on the Wrexham road reminds me of an ex colleague who moved to Wrexham. We nicknamed him Levi because dead on 501 he would drop his work.
There are not enough "thumbs up" here for this song
Have that one on me
Another music icon we have just lost. R.I.P R.Dean Taylor, thanks for your music
Indiana wants me. What a song. A real tearjerker.

There is an urgency about the song that really grabs you.......

Omg I’m Jane love this song but never had anybody that desperate to see me ha ha
I love you tube where I can hear this music,makes me feel young again but the mind is willing and the body sure aint
Brilliant track from R Dean Taylor hugely underrated artist. The title of this really speaks to me my all time fave lady is called Jane
I agree! Are you the writer? If so thanks
Golden girls and more?
Ronnie Damnitz - god no! But I sure wish I had the talent to come up with that tune. Btw tho totally unconnected can see the influence of this in Billy Oceans Red Light Spells Danger another cracking tune
Hi marc! When i mentioned writer i was referring to the script writer of tv comedies. Well you have good taste in music and im sure your talented as well! Take care marc
This song has haunted me since it came out!
I remember hearing this on a jukebox in a bowling alley where we spent many summer afternoons, and fell in love. It seemed to speak of all the pent up passion a 15 year old girl feels. Great memories.
I first heard this song in a pub in Britain when I was 17, that was soooo long ago and I am still loving the song.
I fell out with my boyfriend and he played this on local jukebox. His mate said you gotta see her. 45 years later
Remember from when I was little, loved it then. I would have been about 9. Damn, I have good taste!
Clever idea the road scene - seems to enhance an already incredible single.
The motown backing with the strings and chorus is absolutely fantastic.
When I was a kid, this was my favorite motown song, because of the mysterious bass rythm
RIP....INDIANA FINALLY GOT YOU..
Always been my favourite track by R Dean Taylor
This song has everything
Such a fantastic song , Ardene Taylor is and was such a fabulous singer songwriter , love listening to all of his wonderful songs

Miss you ❤
Canada gave us one or two great singers and RD Taylor was one and in 1967 this was outstanding and so different.
Fanastic song! Always been a favourite of mine.
Every time I drive in the rain this song comes to mind.
I was 18back then. In the army. This rings so many bells. Thank you. RD.
Great song.......and I know that road very well!!
Back in when I was 16 in 1974 I just had to see Jane :)
+Mike Stacey funny you should say that i was so in love with a girl call jane at school i was only 13 then i wonder how she is to day i am now 64
did she wanna see you!
Great song made even better with a perfect stereo copy.
Thank you.. you proper going you,
Good tune Welshie - brings back some memories. I know that road very well.
Superb - thanks. Memories of the Top Rank Rank Watford disco 1968

There's a ghost in my house, Indiana wants me, Taos New Mexico. His voice brought a great dramatic sound.
What a crazy but good ole tune... i remember this in the 70s and hear it still.. Canadian boy!!!
i love this record it takes me back to some good times
i was 15yrs never forget this classic, brilliant
Great tracks old is gold ✊🏿✊🏻🎶
I just put the name of the song in, but never expected to find it - and in such a high quality! I played this single until I wore it out on my parents' monogram. I loved it as a young kid and still love it now. Thanks for uploading and sharing!
i heard that he wrote song while driving from detroit to toronto.
i always listened to this song i did great words to it.
Takes me back to my youth I loved this, sadly I can remember my youth when I listen to this but I can not go back to my youth sigh its a hard unfair life
BRILLIANT VIDEO PRESENTATION 👏
Always reminds me of 'Titch' in Ditchling...her birthday same as mine 28th June..x
Great song and good with the video brings back memories of better days.
Superb arrangement!
RIP R Dean Taylor.
Excellent 10\10
Ive seen so many great bands and solo artists.....except this man. X
He wrote love child for the Supremes as well among others he wrote this guy well before his time genious
Not certain but I think he may also have had a hand in co writing standing in the shadows of love .I know that he wasn't always credited for his contribution.
Great song. Found out today.
A great song, fantastic baseline and nice film to go along with the goalong. Thanks for posting
Baseline? Kinda non-existent to be honest.
*bassline
That is some 'Bazooka Joe' level bubble gum! What memories!
Great video accompaniment
A very good song, one I had forgotten about...It must send shivers down the spine of anyone with a girlfriend or wife called Jane.
Its to bad that this wasn't a big hit in 67.
I Love this song I even got this song on 45 in my record collection.

A terrific song first recorded in 1968 & re-released in 1970 on the LP "I think therefore I am". 🧡
wow, thats the feeling in motion....
1 ov my all time favourites
RIP you absolute legend ❤
Schitterend nummer...
Very electrifying indeed but a great song as well.
I like this song got to see Jane by r dean Taylor
And still Indiana wants me.
I believe that R. Dean Taylor was the only white performer at Tamla Motown
Great song great songwriter.
This Canadian dude was great. Lyrics....Red light, green light,
Speedin' trough the dark night,
Drivin' trough the poundin' rain
I gotta see Jane
Windshield wiper splashin',
Splashin', callin' out her name
Just gotta see Jane
I left her arms to find my way
To find a place for me in the world outside
I wasn't alive, I could not survive
The frantic pace, the constant chase
To win the race, turned my heart cold inside
I gotta find what I left behind
Red light, green light,
Speedin' through the dark night,
Drivin' through the poundin' rain,
I gotta see Jane
Freeway, byway,
Earin' up the highway,
Runnin' up a world insane
Just gotta see Jane
A town of steel that isn't real
It could not feel what's in the heart of me
I was so alone in a world of stone
I missed her arms, that once held me
That made me see, I was the lonely one
But now and then I was runnin' scared
And I could feel the touch of time
Turnin' the wheel of life to yesterday
When love and happiness were mine
I gotta find that world of Jane and me
Liked it used to be
Oh, I gotta see Jane
Her love for me I pushed aside
Walked out alone
To face a world turned cold
Although I tried I could not survive
The frantic pace, the constant chase
To win the race, it's not a part of me
I've gotta find what I left behind
Oh, I gotta see Jane, I gotta see Jane
This song filmed on the Wrexham road reminds me of an ex colleague who moved to Wrexham. We nicknamed him Levi because dead on 501 he would drop his work.
This song was covered by Andy Scott from The Sweet who was from... Wrexham.
Its not just wrexham in wales ithey go to england too
Hello! I used to live on the Old Mold Road! Back in the late 70s
It came in the charts at no 20 then went out 2 weeks later tony blackburn was playing it on his morning show came back in to no 2
I remember tony Blackburn playing this on his breakfast show but one thing puzzles me.When did radio 1 start broadcasting?
Sounds like hes singing through a megaphone...great song...driving beat.
good old Canadian boy !
great song great mix!!
