Incredible interview with Benny. He is a class act and as sincere as they come. We lost a great one on June 29, 2020. I hope that he knew in his final months there were people like Jon Bon Jovi that called him and up to let him know how much he meant to them. That he was loved and cherished. Goodbye, Mr. Mardones and we will see you on the other side. You will not be forgotten.
Hey, thanks for the shout out to Jon Bon Jovi! Another true Angel on earth. After hearing of Benny's passing I asked my parents to find him in heaven. My Mom discovered Bon Jovi in the early 1990's when she was in her mid 60's. Bed of Rose's was her favorite song and she told everyone she wanted that song played at her funeral. When she passed away at 81 we honored her with that request. My Dad then passed away a year later. He was retired military so I knew my Dad would have alot of respect for Benny as he was a Navy veteran in the Vietnam War. And my brother was also a Vietnam Vet Warrant Officer and he flew a helicopter. Due to Agent Orange my brother was also a casualty of that war and he joined our parents in heaven in 2010. I figured my Mom would be hanging out up there with Elvis so I told Benny where he could find them. I like to think they are all together along with all the pets that went to the Rainbow Bridge. ❤🐾❤🐾❤
@@fuzzyarmadillo1320 This is so lovely...thank you! I could just picture this, and it brought me alot of peace.
Actually, Benny and Bon Jovi went WAY back. When Bon Jovi was starting out, Benny was one of his coaches. After Bon Jovi broke big, there was discussion of him producing an album for Benny, but it didn't happen for some reason.
Benny had a photo of himself with Bon Jovi hanging prominently on his living room wall that was taken circa 1990.
... but based on how you worded your comment, I think you knew all that.
I'll miss you Benny!! No one will ever top your voice!! You are beautiful inside and out!! RIP Benny ❤ I'll miss you and I'll love you always❤
Miss him went to every concert he did 😢😢😢😂😂😂❤
Wow incredible story and what a big heart he has!!! How gentlemanly of him to say that he had no sexual feelings for her and respected her age! What a Christian thing for him to do and change lives when evil and selfishness may have cankered their hearts forever and they never knew love because of their father's selfish attitude but instead were blessed by Benny's pure intentions and got a hit song from meeting that 16 year old girl and she went on to success and a good life because of Benny's help!! There are those we meet that are just angel's in disguise and Benny very well could be one of them!! 👼
You are absolutely right.....what a beautiful comment u wrote about Benny Mardones....is amazig!!!!!... think you are a really good person with such a heart like him...god bless you.
@@rosamariaenomoto2279 oh thank you!!! I try to be a good person....God bless you too and for your nice words too!!!
He he took that crock of bull shit to his grave with him.
@jaymestratton62355 as you heard in the video clip, it was actually Robert Tepper who blurted out about how hot Heidi looked, and it was Benny who said "she's just 16 years, leave her alone".
That's the supreme irony that I enjoy throwing in people's faces when they make stupid, uninformed comments about the song - when Benny adds "they said" to the statement in the first line of the song, HE (Benny) is the "they" he is referring to.
His voice was a LEGEND, and I just hated hearing of his battle being lost with Parkinson's! I saw his last performance, and he performed "Into The Night" even with the disease ravaging his body. He gave it his all, and I could not fight back the tears! It was so moving
I couldn't make it to the final performance as I had a speaking engagement that weekend, but a friend of mine who was there called as he was warming up to sing the song the last time and I listened to it live that way.
There is a video of it on here filmed by an attendee, but the people around her were singing along and drowning him out. I only have the memory of hearing his voice without all the clatter around it.
I love hearing Benny tell how he came up with Into the Night. I've loved that song since it first came out. He sings it so powerfully, it's like heaven. Benny was so handsome, and full of talent. Benny, we'll never forget you.
This man is so amazingly talented and has the best voice I’ve ever heard.
I would have to say I was 18 in 81 if I new him I would have loved him because it sounds he was a great person
@@margarettenarron9690 From everything thing I've read or heard about Benny Mardones that was very true. I hope he knows now how much he was loved. RIP Benny Mardones! ❤❤❤
Thats one of the most inspiring and beautiful story ive ever heard. God bless you Benny !
+9sunskungfu to this day, Heidi sends him Christmas cars every year saying "Thank you for saving my life!"
He was a class act all the way to the end rip Benny!!
Benny Mardones is a down to earth good guy. He had an amazing voice!
Thank you for posting this interview. I never knew the true story behind this. Benny was truly a beautiful soul and was sent to this earth for more than a song, which I believe, God enabled him to write and become a super hit because of his beautiful kindness to this family that had almost lost everything. Sent extreme chills through my body to hear that the human spirit and love do get rewarded by God for human kindness.
Benny kept all the Christmas cards Heidi sent him over the years. He showed them to me. At the time of his passing, he was still enough in touch that Heidi traveled up from Puerto Rico to attend the east coast edition of his Celebration of Life held in Syracuse in 2021.
Always loved Benny Madrones, and Into The Night. He was a special kind of guy. God Bless Benny.❤️🙏❤️
It has been 4 years since he passed away from something terrible and I miss him very much dearly and he was in his 70's by the way
Parkinson's is a hell of a thing. He was diagnosed in 2000 and at the time told he MIGHT have 3-4 years left as a performer. Despite that, he managed to hang in there until 2017, when he was forced to retire because he could no longer stand without assistance.
Even after that, he released a single, which is called "Where Angels Fly". It's posted on RUclips.
I cannot comment on the rumors of whether Benny was using the song to predict an event similar to the pandemic. He refused to discuss the songfacts on that one, and to me he only said to listen to the lyrics carefully and decide what they meant to me.
Super class. Rip Benny 🖤
That’s the greatest ever “here’s how that song was written” story ever. So happy for Heidi. Amazing song. Rip Benny
If one day physics can measure the beauty of music and human voice, that should be done in Mardones, as a unit of measure.
Almost all of his catalog is on Spotify. The only album you won't find is "Too Much To Lose" due to some weird thing with the heirs to Polydor that led to the LP-to-DVD rip distributed by Warrior Records getting pulled also, but all eight songs from the album can be found on RUclips and they were taken from that same rip so they sound good.
He also had an unreleased song from about 1999 called "Someone to Love" that was supposed to be on the "Angel" album but got held back, according to one story it was because they were working on a deal to have it added to a movie soundtrack (which didn't go through).
I have a copy of the original Someone to Love that Benny gave me on the condition that I only enjoy it privately and never share it. Due to some stuff I am vaguely aware of regarding ongoing efforts to monetize his catalog, I specifically cannot/will not share that song, though I think there is a video on here of him performing it in concert in Hawaii.
What a great story!
Love you for ❤ever and ever❤
Navy man & a good hearted man. Dad /husband . How very sad that people who listen to his music JUDGE him by a song. all he wanted to do was help those kids . An unimagineable situation made worse by a clueless dad. It will be ok u will get thru this.NONE OF US know yet we point a finger to judge. i heard that those 3 kids thanked him & kept in touch
Lovely son. Lovely man.
Great story brother
Love you always
I miss you
What a story !❤️🙏
This story is a really good story. I know that he passed away in 2020, but I want to say something to Benny still, “Benny you have the right to love anyone you want to”. This song actually reminds me of 1980. My mom was married to an abusive alcoholic and life was hard for me. I think I was 8 years old. I saved my mom and baby brothers life one night when my stepdad decided to choke my mom. I was too little to know how to call the police so I had to jump on him and pull his hair to get him off of my mom. Miraculously she and her baby survived. He was a pedophile too.
Benny was affected by the plight of the set designer's kids because his own father had walked out when he was a toddler, and his subsequent stepfather abused him.
We have a couple more from this same interview we'll upload pretty soon. Click the link in the description, it takes you to a page where you can sign up to hear the entire interview, with his brand-new song "I've Got You" at the end.
Oh, thank you. I'm glad the link and the full interview are still up/working. Thank you again.
I never got around to doing this and never will, but if you follow the link in the description for this video, it goes to where I posted the entire interview as a podcast episode.
Eu adoro Benny Mardones 💗 todas informações que postarem sobre ele quero saber.
Rip benny
can upload more Benny Mardones videos, he's my favorite artists and there's only a couple of videos that are different
SOMEWHERE I have a couple videos of him performing songs at a concert in 2010 that were not part of his signature "set". If I find where I stashed them, I'll post them.
Nossa! Muito triste envelhecer, e ficar duente assim. Eu tenho dó.
❤rest in peace wonderful man x❤️🙏🕊️
I thought he said the 16yeard old was Angie McCartney he meet in a subway in London.
That was a joke. He wasn't even alive during World War II.
Benny and Angie were friends and he made that video for her as a joke on her birthday. Benny was born in 1946 and he was not British. Some people who are familiar with how he sounded when he spoke got the idea he had a British accent, but he didn't. His speech patterns are peculiar to the part of Maryland where he grew up.
Sadly, illness has taken him 29 June 2020.
Fantastic singer! He will be missed!
thank you, i liked and subscribed@Adam Hommey
What was the date of interview?
This interview, which is now posted as an episode on my podcast, was originally a training session he did for my coaching clients. It was the first module in the program we launched in July 2012.
