- Thomas Earl "Tom" Petty (born October 20, 1950) is an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He is the frontman of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and a member of Mudcrutch. He was also a member of the supergroup the Traveling Wilburys under the pseudonym of Charlie T. Wilbury, Jr. He has recorded a number of hit singles, many of which remain heavily played on adult contemporary and classic rock radio. Likewise, his music, most notably his hits, have become increasingly popular among younger generations as he continues to host sold out shows in his recent tour dates.
Petty is also a vocal critic of the modern recording industry and the disappearance of independent radio stations.
Petty has been supported by his band, The Heartbreakers, for the majority of his career. He has occasionally released solo work, as is the case with 2006's Highway Companion, on which he performed most of the backing instrumentation himself. However, members of The Heartbreakers have played on each of his solo albums and the band has always backed him when touring in support of those albums. He has also toured with Mudcrutch in order to promote their debut album. Petty has been managed by Tony Dimitriades since 1976.On February 3, 2008, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers performed at the Super Bowl XLII Halftime show.
Tom and this band were the best weren’t they 💔💖
Tom Petty was soooooo talented. To me, he's the very best.
Still trying to get over his passing.
Few deaths of rock stars have upset me more then hearing of the death of this incredibly talented musician. Been a fan for years. Rest in Peace Tom
I'm proud to say I saw Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers in 1978....and they were magnificent. Well played Tom ...66 is way too young..
Oh how I loved dancing to this song, found on my mother's old cassettes, being seventeen, dancing barefoot over Roman fields were I was raised...Tom Petty would make any girl feel like a queen. RIP fine man.
One of the BEST song's ever, I love it :)
she was an American girl, raised on promises...brilliant fucking opening line if I ever heard one.
Totally he was such a great songwriter. Writing this kind of Melody through that simple chord progression is absolutely amazing.
RIP Tom and thank you from every American girl in the world, including me, for this fantastic song! xx We are forever grateful! :-)
Brilliant lyricist even from the beginning and still so bloody young.....
I love this fricking song. I love the fricking baseline, and my cool ass children love it too. ❤❤❤ Good on them. RIP Tom Petty.
He is only 2 years older than me. I grew up on his music. He is one of the Sound tracks of my life. You know any person by their songs/music. He has an awesome voice. RIP Tom Petty!
There were so many great bands back in the day, you just couldn't follow all of them. But this song is one of The Great Ones that never gets old...
I live off 441. One of the many many reasons this song never gets old. Classic and awesome!
I don't care anymore. Everybody sucks, this song is the best ever. Go smoke it!
Wow. Amazing performance of an amazing song.
"...And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God, it's so painful that something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach..."
...Tom Petty gets it! :)
Gonna miss ya Uncle Tom. May you make people at your next stops as moved, happy and connected as you made during this one.
Mike Campbell's contributions to this song on electric in the second half can't be overlooked.
Thanks for the memories Tom. That band in heaven just got more awesome. RIP
I heard this on the radio today .......... Made me happy
We ladies had a blast dancing to this song at my wedding.
i didnt realize they have been around this long. awesome band.
What an awesome guitar solo.
I am so happy he doing a tour this year. I am going to one of the concerts, it a must
😭
Pray for TOM and family God bless
Saw him in Cleveland, about 15 years ago. AWESOME SHOW !!
Tom Petty is a real ROCKSTAR !
Probably my favorite Tom Petty song.
Please don't die Tom. Please come back from this horrible day. October 2, 2017.
So sad....I loved him! RIP Tom! 😢❤️🙏🏻💕
I have really bad nightmares. Adorable puppy
Tom Petty = best rock star teeth ever
+Beef Queef Dang, you gonna take that away from Sammy Hagar? Poor guy, it's all he has going for him.
nah dude, petty for the win
Shane McGowan. No-one comes close
You're all wrong: Freddie Mercury :D
Tom Petty is smoking 🔥 hot, sooo sexy!!!
ive just watched this one and the old grey whistle test version back to back about 5 times fucking amazing should said 35 years scary huh
Uhh, its a simile, pretty straight forward. I like this song so much because of its lyrics. I lived on the beach in the Marina Del Rey and yes I can appreciate the comparison of the cars to waves.The whole piece shows good writing and imagery. Something that lacks a whole lot these days in pop music.
tom petty is just the best period
Man reading this 5+ year old comments now makes me sad
the best song ive ever heard in my life :)
LOVE THIS ♥️♥️♥️♥️
dude is a fkn legend. there won't be another
Love his music.RIP.
einfach zum abhauen gedacht ...alles hinter mir zu lassen und wie ein idee
seen him live many times,,,crowd totally into it see them if u can
R.I.P Tom Petty 😔
Has the best songs
Love 💗 this song!!!!!
Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin'
That there was a little more to life somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep
O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
Well, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on her balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441 like waves crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment
There he crept back in her memory
God it's so painful when something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach
O yeah, all right
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night
She was an American girl
Oohh
Oooh
Rest in peace Tom
Love love this song. RIP
aaah :( So So So Sad. He Couldn't Stay This Young For Me:(
anyway he still rocks! and still looks good!:D
shocked by this news.. rip tom petty.
R.I.P. Tom. 😪
best performance of this song on youtube.
Balc-oh-nay
Nick Voss I caught that too. Gonna miss this guy.
midnight special !
I watched this with some fava beavs an a nice Chianti
Quid Pro Quo Clarice,Quid Pro Quo.
do you notice that singers now never look like this. everyone today has to be cute just think of the talent we would have missed out on if everyone had to be pretty .back then and think of the talent we are missing out on today and don,t even know it.the cute guy or girl never has to try as hard therefore not quite as talented.mabey someone will get a clue one of these days but i doubt it.
Cute, your kidding right, Tom Petty is SMOKING 🔥 HOT. He'S SO SEXY!!
you will be missed
ive loved these guys for thirtythree years almost as good as aussie rock ha
sad soul wrapped in rock n roll
Best.
Song.
EVAH !!!!
Nice! I miss those good old days!
love you tom
Ahhhhh 1978....I was just -16.... Wish I could've been around :(
Hey guys ! ♮♩ " Oh yeah , alright , ♪ Take it Easy baby. ♪♩ Make it Last , last all night. ♪ She was an American Girl ♫♩
An American classic !
Great song! Thanks.
hot, sweet, back beat
RIP
I was just thinking the exact same thing!
Trying to play this with the cover band, and the biggest problem lies in the (guitar) mix, we find. We have to get this right though. One of the greatest americana songs ever and we will nail this!
I love when the chick in Silence of the Lambs is listening to this right before Buffalo Bob kidnaps her
rip...
Am I the only one who wants to feel how soft Tom's hair is?
I guess some people don't understand what a simile is, even when it hits them like a tidal wave crashing onto the rocks. LOL!!
Reminds me of last night by the strokes
The Strokes actually have admitted they "stole" the framework of Last Night from this song...so it makes sense. Except this was written long before Last Night... which means Last Night reminds you of this...smiles.
Love this song 🎵, all his songs are my favorite. Such a beautiful man, such a beautiful soul. God I miss him.
"ooo"!
The guitar is a Vox Phantom 12 string.
i sing a mostly beatles songs but people tell me i sound like this guy when i sing
Yeah no kidding. All the others are such shitty quality and this is pretty damn fantastic for only being 1978.
Well mom just came bye loaded for Bear. Damn her claws are out. Yep. Love ya Pam Petty
tom petty looks so high in this video
1st class americana
he's so hot.
Goddamnyeah

Reminds me of last night by the strokes
yes but different keys. American girl D....... Last Nite C
The reason why they sound the same is because the strokes admit to ripping this song off.
Chris Elrod strokes ripped it off !!!!!!!
See you on the other side someday jamming w Prince my friend.
John Smith 🤮🤮🤮
Great performance, but the cameraman needs slapped for focusing on the keyboards when Mike Campbell is soloing his ass off.
@buffalobraves9 Yes, you're right :)
After completely neglecting the keyboards before then.
bit of both i'd say :)
he says "cars goin' by on the 441, like waves crashing on the beach" dosen't mention any waves on the 441
Gee wiz an amarykin girl. Tom you left too soon.
@bragabass1980 But for now I think that I'll just borrow
All the chords from that song
And all the words from that other song I heard
Yesterday
:P
