Clarence Clemons did a great version of this. Philly was really rocking in the early 80ks, great bands, Alan Mann, John Cadillac, The Jitter-bops, John Eddie, you could just go on and on!! Rock on Philly, what a time!
The Hooters of course before they went national. Tommy Conwell and the Rumblers as well. The A's were my favorite live band, played Newark, DE many times.
Holy crap! The EMPIRE! That place was awesome. The two bad things now is that a) kids today have no idea what that scene is like and b) that place is long gone. RIP Empire Rock Club
@@tracyhall6195 The 23E. Don't forget the Chestnut Cabaret and the Ambler Cabaret. Used to go to all three and The Empire Room to see Beru Revue back in the Day.
@@Goat69-mi1ku ..Yes. The Chestnut Cabaret..downtown. I saw The Outfield there(RIP), when they first "caught 🔥"..80s chicks everywhere ! I never made it up to the Ambler, or Empire Room. Missed out on the Sunday METAL-Glam shows (Bon Jovi, Cinderella, Britny Fox) up there in the great NE. Just read that the old Empire building now houses a beer distributor, a bingo hall, restaurant, and furniture store, since ER's 1990 closing.

I lived in West Chester for college(early 80s), and George Thorogood & the DDs would sometimes just randomly 'appear' at a backstreet joint West side called Joe's Sportsman's Lounge. 😃 The WC borough 👮♂️ would get pissed, having to deal with the sudden crowd control there ! ..Lolz. ... Amazingly fun times. 🍻 Wish my Time Machine 🚀 wasn't presently in the shop ! ..haha. 😏
saw The A's show at the Stone Balloon (Newark DE) -- back when The A's and The Hooters were thee hot bands from Philly. , their "When The Rebel Comes Home" was also another A+ song!
yes awesome don't forget the hooters, tommy conwell and the young rumblers, robert hazard AND THE HERO'S , at the trocadero theatre and OF COURSE PIERRE ROBERT, 93.3 WMMR , PHILLY ROCKS
I decided to by this record in the begining of 80:s, but I didn´t because of the studentmoneyproblemyouknow :-(. I haven´t heard this song until now. I have looking for this performence for a long time and suddenly I found it and what do you think guys, do I still love it....... Yes I still love it. I love youtube.
I have this on a 45. It was released in 1981 on Arista Records. Writing credits are to Notte/Bush. the sublabel is Young Philadelphians Music. And it's a great memory. Thanks fellas.
I was just cleaning out an old car that I was selling, still had a cassette player! under the back seat, wedged way back there was a beat up old tape of the A's album. Still worked too! Brought back memories of seeing them and other acts at the Jersey Shore. Somers Point, Rock Box in Margate. Man, where the fuck did the years [and my hair!] go?
This was filmed-recorded at Blondie’s Nite Club, Pleasantville , NJ Memorial Day Weekend 1982, i was managing partner of the club & booked the band, lots of energy in the room
I worked for music producer in Toronto when this album was released. We received this album to review....I told everyone I knew about it! love it! Thanks A's!
This song reminds me of the summer I spent in Avalon, New Jersey when in college. It was getting lots of airplay then. Awesome, the strength and power of songs to recall times, places and people in your mind. Thanks for the memories, boys.
saw em at the london victory club and the wysp rambling raft race in neshaminey park pagans fought the state cops with chains what a trip...............saw richard lots when I lived on south street.......rock on philly bands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BACK IN THE DAY 93.3 WMMR WOULD PLAY ALL LOCAL ROCK BANDS!!!! HOOTERS, THE A'S, TOMMY CONWELL AND THE YOUNG RUMBLERS, ROBERT HAZZARD, CINDERELLA, LECOMPT, TANGIER, BRITTANY FOXX,
Aaaahhhh.... Eu não acredito!!! Depois de tantos anos eu encontrei o vídeo desta canção. Que vontade de chorar. Nossa... que saudades!!!!! Obrigado por compartilhar.
@@geraldoxavier5581 eu não sei por que fui achar este vídeo somente agora. Sempre pesquisei e sempre aparecia uma versão nova dance com uma cantora. Eu tbm nunca mais ouvi esta música. Mas estava guardada na memória. Não lembrava o nome da banda. Infelizmente estes programas de flashback nunca a tocaram. Acho que na verdade nem conhecem. Que música linda! E a letra dela é bonita. Marcou demais.
@@EiSeNhOwZ É uma música boa. Estava pensando: não merecia ter sido esquecida. Lembra um pouco Bruce Springsteen e David Bowie daquele disco que ele lançou dois anos depois do lançamento dessa música. Aquele que tem "Let's dance". Tá na hora de alguém colocar ela em uma série, para ela ser resgatada.
@@geraldoxavier5581 acho que no Brasil poucos a conhecem. O vídeo é antigo e não há comentários em português além do nosso. Talvez um filme seria o ideal. A letra é específica e não se encaixa em qualquer roteiro. Mas realmente seria interessante.
The A's were so damned under rated. If they had come along three years later the Hooters would have been a trivia question. Clarence Clemons did a kick-ass version of this with The Redbank Rockers.
It's not a competition. Most people outside of Philadelphia never heard of them. I suppose the Hooters have been mostly forgotten outside of Philly these days too.
Richard Bush (Lead Singer) has a new group called The Peace Creeps, they still play in and around Philly, check out their CD "Autumn of Love"He sent me a copy of the first A's CD which had the great songs "After last Night" and "A Heroes Work Is Never Done".
One of my favorite groups of all time. Thanks for posting this great video which I can't believe is up here. Still play my "Four Dances" LP from time to time.
Nobody, not the Hooters, Robert Hazard, Beru Review, etc, could hang with the A's...as fine a band as ever was...this is great, Woman Got the Power would've been a number one hit on any other major label, but I'm pretty sure they were on Arista which just flat out dropped the ball with the A's...if so it was Clive's biggest blunder...
saw them @ the london victory club{ underage} and at the WYSP rambling raft race{the pagans fought the cops with chains...what a trip !! I watched the action on a schoolbus full of plymouth meeting cheerleaders}...saw Richard alot around south st. when I lived there.. the fuckin A's still rock philly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's funny. The roadie for the band tried to pick me up at ambler tap room. Richard Bush made sure he looked right at me when I wear a heart designed sweater at christmas time "wont' you be my valentine..." great band, that whole crowd with beru revue, the hooters, tommy conwell. too bad philly rockers don't have much of a bandstage today...
@sks532 Were did he teach? They were a big deal especially in Philly in the late 80's...there were hot...he probably had alot of groupies..they are/were goodlooking
for 25 years now I thought this was an original Jennifer Holliday song - NO IDEA it was a cover version until just now, wow! no offense to The A's, but I think she sang it better ;)

Me too...I saw them TWICE at the Balloon, spring 1982.
I never thought I'd come across this again. Remember hearing this on the radio when I was 10 or 11. Thanks!!!
One of the best bands in Philly and NJ.
yes awesome
don't forget the hooters, tommy conwell and the young rumblers, robert hazard AND THE HERO'S , at the trocadero theatre and OF COURSE PIERRE ROBERT, 93.3 WMMR , PHILLY ROCKS

I live in Levittown pa and they played in my area all the time with the hooters
This was my favorite A's song. Thanks for adding this here.
So right ji77t66! I worked for a record producer when this album was released and we were all blown away by this song.
omg, I love the A's. they are so awsome. saw them many times when they played in wildwood. ., such beautiful memories. thank you for posting....👄👄👄💋💋💋
Philly gave rise to great, unequaled musical powerhouses such as TSOP, Hall & Oats, Robert Hazard, the A's, Quincy.....and on and on.
any links to Quicy videos?
dont forget the late, great Teddy P. !
The A's were so damned under rated. If they had come along three years later the Hooters would have been a trivia question.

life long philly guy here in Ma. this video takes back. thannx
Wow i remember this band i have two albums now i must find them !!

TrentMakz!!Thanks!!! You've made me soooooo happy!!
You can now buy a re-release of both of the A's Arista albums on CD.
I got this album for 2.99 in a reminder bin. It got zero promotion in Australia and I just took a punt on it. lucky me.
the A's and Johnny and the Front Street Runners. Drag racing and music!!
Philly's finest. I have all their recordings. Good music
One of my favorite groups of all time. Thanks for posting this great video which I can't believe is up here. Still play my "Four Dances" LP from time to time.
Fantastic! Thanks!!
They used to play at The Anchorage Bar, just over the Burlington Bristol Bridge in Jersey. 2 dollar cover charge.
Trying hard to find this release on CD.from South Jersey shore but now in Arizona..saw them a bunch in Philly and Wildwood
I got both on Amazon
Guitar player is great. Good song.
This is the most beautiful song ever. My opinion, of course. Thanks for sharing. I was wondering if you can edit it using the original audio...
That's probably my favorite comment from the videos I posted! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and yes he does rock!
the hooters, jonny's dance band, the a's, todd....philly was the sh*t in the 80's
Curti muito esta musica no ano de 81 👍👍👍👏👏👏
good stuff!
Saw them at the Metro in Hburg in 1982
WOW!

Mike Snyder rocks, best Philly drummer ever.
Thus whole show aired on USA network back around 1982 or so.
im in woodbury....across from philly....mmr ysp
AMAZING: I partied with these guys in levittown , pa. they wrote alot of music including Laupers #1 hit... the 80`s rocked. enjoy local talent
Wrong band...the would be the Hooters
Robert Hazard (R.I.P.) wrote "Girls Just Want To Have Fun", which Cyndi turned into gold. 💛
they were kinda big in cleveland area too great album
That's funny. The roadie for the band tried to pick me up at ambler tap room. Richard Bush made sure he looked right at me when I wear a heart designed sweater at christmas time "wont' you be my valentine..." great band, that whole crowd with beru revue, the hooters, tommy conwell. too bad philly rockers don't have much of a bandstage today...
I was thinking this looked like the Ambler Tap Room.
omg he was my music teacher goo micheal snyder
I was there…
YES!!!! THE A's philly.
Cancão linda!
Jagger swagger . The gum is a deal breaker.
@maryfran2008 listen to the Peace Creeps....
Steve Jobs why can't I buy the original on itunes? Great song.
My freakin High School Theme song!
Wow NO CELL PHONES freaking AWESOME!!!
I just checked out the tape I dubbed this from, it was from the Stone Balloon.
WMMR Rocks!
@sks532 Were did he teach? They were a big deal especially in Philly in the late 80's...there were hot...he probably had alot of groupies..they are/were goodlooking
I think this was from The Stone Balloon or The Talley Ho in Delaware. (I'm still trying to find the VHS tape I dubbed it from!)
This from Blondie’s Memorial Day weekend 1982 ,
I loved those two places ! ..Coming down route 202 from West Chester University ! 😎 ♈ 🤘
Trent makz ur awsome 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
Where in Burlington? I live here must have been a long time ago!!!!!!! LOL
Richard is my uncle not Sarah’s her step son
Passivaaa :P
Does anyone remember the Trendsetters? They opened for the A's a couple times.
To lazy to read all the comments, was the show recorded at the Empire
U2 never played there, they were rumored to have played J C Dobbs
U2 played Tower Nirvana played Dobbs
Than why no page on Wikipedia?
Does anyone have any Beru revue another great band from Philly
Forgot to mention, we worked in Toronto
Minor hit in Boston
Yup. I heard it on WBCN, 104.1 FM.
anyone know where to get this stuff on cd? thanks.
"AMAZON".
Lmao the drummer was my music teacher from 6-8th grade he taught me guitar in 7th grade but then i stopped
He sounds just like Robert Hazard or vice versa. Very similar style from the 80’s.
..Southside Johnny, too ! 🤘
✌🙂❤ 🇺🇸
Yes. They co wrote I believe.
for 25 years now I thought this was an original Jennifer Holliday song - NO IDEA it was a cover version until just now, wow! no offense to The A's, but I think she sang it better ;)
Philly Hot Club or was it JC Dobbs?
Michael Snyder was my teacher too... Is he, like everyone's teacher?!
Are you sure its not the empire rock room
😉❤️🔥💪🏻👈🏻
who is this lead singer?? i bet hes a guido...cute
Richard is very Michael Huntchence like in this video.
Not bad. Reminds me of Elvis Costello or maybe Mink DeVille.
Yes, women RULE.
Yeah and if you looked close, you could find Dave Lysak watering down the booze in the back.
Wikipedia has no page for this band. They must be very forgotten.
