Man I had the hots for Patty back in the day but she married McEnroe? 😂 Sokay I've the most beautiful souled and stunning woman in my life and I'm 59 and she's a year older. We met decades ago and remet a year ago. Sometimes it can take most of your life to find your soul mate.
@@kennyking4050 In 1982 I was 13 years old and listening to your music. One particular memory I have is getting on the public bus from Anaheim to Newport Beach, spending the afternoon with brothers and friends at the beach, checking out the girls and hearing The Warrior on our portable radio. Other memorable bands included Fleetwood Mac, Motley Crue, Ratt, Iron Maiden, The Police. So much good music came from the 80s. Admittedly, I appreciate the music more now than I did when I was a kid. Thanks for the memories.
Mr. McEnroe is, without doubt, THE luckiest man on earth. Patty is still a very talented, well rounded, and intelligent, woman. I’m. Really impressed with her ability to make so much of her continued success & with her strong marriage. As much as I’d like to be the one she married, I have to say “good luck kids” to she & Mr. McEnroe. It’s nice to see a functioning married celebrity couple. One that must be going well, seeing as we never hear stories about ‘em in the tabloid. How boring for the press! 👍
@@Vivianamarie01 you are correct, she is. For some reason I got her completely confused with Edie Brickell. I never realized they looked so much alike. Point goes to you!
@@Porsche996driver She was invited to be the singer for Van Halen. She was pregnant at the time, and she just couldn't do it. She's a New Yorker, and VH is in LA, so there's also that. Could you imagine what it would sound like if she DID join VH? Her power with that slight growl is just so appealing. I mean, Eddie asked her himself. It's fun to imagine what might have been.
Honestly, we were mostly buying tapes until the *mid* 80's, really. "Born in the USA" was the first CD released in '84, but most people just bought the tape, as record stores didn't really start getting CD's until late '84/'85 in a big way. It was sort of a novelty until around '85.
@@redadamearth I would record CDs so I could play them in the car. Car CD players became more common as the decade went on. I didn't have a factory standard CD player in my car until I bought a '17 Fiesta ST. I only use it on road trips, but it sounds better than the phone. I still get CDs of music I want for road trips. I've got all the Doors albums, and lots of other good stuff. Working on Motown now. You can't even buy a new car with a CD player now. It's all on the phone now.
You meant cassettes, and to touch on what "redadamearth" said, it didn't matter when a certain cd was released, nor does it matter when cd's in general were released, cd's stayed a novelty pretty much for the entire decade, that's because a cd would cost over $20 while the same exact album would cost $6.99 at Tower Records.

This song was all over the radio in 1982. When I hear it it takes me back to a very special time in my life that I didn't realize would end. It makes me sad where I am now and where I was then.

@@danroberts9050Wrong. While Patty HAS aged, hers is not a case of “not aging well”. She’s certainly not the svelte, energetic, “Patty Smith - Superstar!” most recall, but that doesn’t call for a “she hasn’t aged well” by any means. She’s matured about as well as any healthy woman can expect. I find her just about as much an attraction as she’s ever been, as well. This comment is genuinely true. She’s definitely crush worthy! 🤔😊

Here it is 2024, 42 years ago. I loved the 80's. I'm so glad I was in my 20's then. She's hot looking, good old dick Clark, rest in peace, thank you for bringing so many groups on your great show. Nothing like it today.
Some underrated moments in her career where the Scandal song 'Beat of A heart' (how did that only chart #41), solo 'Never Enough' (charted in 60s but Top 5 on Rock chart), a duet with 50s rocker Dion (And the Night Stood Still) , and backup on the Hooters 'Where Do the Children Go'. 'Heartache Heard Around The World' is awesome too!
Patty is SO dynamic. She’s just a perfect presence. A genuine talent, she! AND all her energetic dancing is done in those high heels. WTF?!

Never let some a'hole tell you 80's music wasn't any good. These bands, that music, the dancing, the clubs, parties, after bars, it was all a great time to be a young person and the music made it great.
Oh Yeah 100% true, graduated 1981 at age 19, 😳 yep was buying hard alcohol, bar hopping, and picking up one night stands even before graduation all while dancing to this kind of music, those were the good old day !!!
Yup. This was on heavy rotation when I was in junior high, and it was such an improvement on boring, old 70s rock. 80s music was the *best* music, and in some ways, it still is.
Just stumbled across this video. Wow! She's one of my favorite vocalists and to see her doing two songs back-to- back with Dick Clark in the same room, is a fun blast from the past. Thanks for posting this.
Patty nailed it on American Bandstand that Saturday. No need for studio tricks, what you saw was what you got with that feisty NYC gal. I heard she's still that way. My unit deployed to Northern Italy, from Fort Bragg, in late 82 and we took that album with us and by early 83 it was a major hit in Northern Italy .... you could hear those songs on Italian radio from Milano to Venice, down to Firenze, Roma and Napoli and everywhere in between. Huge hit album for Scandal and well deserved. That smokey voice and confident delivery of hers resonated with everyone within earshot. Brings back good memories.
The 80’s had such a positive vibe about it. It was so much fun growing up thru the 80’s as a teen….the music….the fashion… the movies…the pop culture. Before the internet f’ed things up.
It was a good time the new wave bands were coming out , I was like 19 or 20 years old at the time trying to find myself wow it brings back memories now I'm a 62 year old man , I would give anything to go back to that time.
@@alfx5432 go back...but keep the knowledge gained since. Enough of us doing it, we might be able to turnback some of the current stupidity. of course, most folks wouldn't believe our government would be doing what its doing now prior to the early 90's. Class of 86.

We are in 34 Trillion in the hole and add that we might be going to war with China. It's just a matter of time we will have to hit the reset button.
This is gold for me. I remember bouncing around to this when i was real small! In my early years I always had a radio, and I heard this back in the '80's! Music still had an innocence back then. This is pop gold, and i love the interview!
the 50's and 60's were good, the 70's was great, the 80's were good and the 90's were good, but somewhere in between 2000 and 2010 music died, now it's just a hollowed-out shell of what it used to be.
Superstars can’t sing live cause they got the talent, gift and guts! One of my favorites all time! Great band cause it sounds better than the record, plus great harmonies in the back! She got some voice! Sexy and soulful and play,
I was born the day before this aired (12/03/1982). There were so many great songs on the radio at this time. Lionel Richie's "Truly" finished his second week at #1 this week, and Toni Basil would own the charts the next week. I came into the world hearing some great tunes!
I remember her being everywhere during the '84 Summer Olympics. The Warrior seemed to be the official song that year and it marked that time period in my memories -- it was a great summer!

This was long before Patty Smythe married John McEnroe. The late Frankie LaRocka played drums in the 1st song, Goodbye to You. But after that and the 1st album, he joined Bryan Adams to tour with him in 1983. LaRocka quit and was replaced by Pat Steward, who still is the drummer for BA in 2024. RIP FL.
Man does this bring back memories! I watched this live as I'm sure millions of you did as well, GenX kids! I remember saying to my Brother, "Hey man, their heads and the keys aren't even plugged in, man! You think we're the only ones who are catching this, Big Brother?"
I knew this existed but never saw it on RUclips before. Thanks for sharing it, Patty was lip syncing but makes up for it by jumping around and giving a splendid performance.
THANK YOU! I’ve been telling all those who’re wondering, at the end of “Goodbye To You”, the fuckin’ song FADES! Of course it’s lip snched. (I saw the goddamned “Bay City Rollers” do the same @ a “live” show ((for which I paid)) in the 70s!) I thought we’d stop that sort of Shiite BEFORE the 80s!!! 🤟👍
I saw her back in the 80's when she opened for Brian Adams and I had front row seats but some drunk girl who was standing in the chair behind myself and my friend and she puked on my friends head. He reaked the rest of the show but Patti was still great.
They would’ve been great. She sang Whole Lotta love on letterman once. (Check it out, it’s on RUclips…) she could really wail. & he didn’t just think about asking her, he begged her to join & she said no, unfortunately for both of them. She would’ve been amazing& way way better than drunk boy Sammy Hagar slacks.
SO GOOD ,THIS IS SO GOOD, GOOBYE TO THE TERRIBLE MUSIC THESE DAYS ,AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS YOU NEVER HERE IT AGAIN, BUT THIS TYPE OF MUSIC IS TIMELESS,LISTEN HOW GOOD THEY ARE! GREAT BAND ! PATTY IS SO GOOD ,PLUS THE BAND IS SO GOOD 🎸🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️👍✌️😎!BOB.
WoW, I never seen this band before, but heard many times on the radio. She looks a lot like Ann Wilson, and Bounces all over the stage like Nancy Wilson. Wonder who her favorite band was? lol :) btw, that was a great song on the radio days too. :)
Scandal was awesome! I saw them play at the Ritz in NYC a few times, I knew they would make it big . Patty has a great voice and a lot of stage presence.
What a different time we lived in those days, very Possitive. My Girlfreind wore outfits just like that and we all danced in that same manner, good times.

This is and was a great classic song❤
Hits poped out like champagne bubbles in the 80s
Man does this bring back memories! I watched this live as I'm sure millions of you did as well, GenX kids! I remember saying to my Brother, "Hey man, their heads and the keys aren't even plugged in, man! You think we're the only ones who are catching this, Big Brother?"
I knew this existed but never saw it on RUclips before. Thanks for sharing it, Patty was lip syncing but makes up for it by jumping around and giving a splendid performance.
THANK YOU!
I’ve been telling all those who’re wondering, at the end of “Goodbye To You”, the fuckin’ song FADES! Of course it’s lip snched. (I saw the goddamned “Bay City Rollers” do the same @ a “live” show ((for which I paid)) in the 70s!)
I thought we’d stop that sort of Shiite BEFORE the 80s!!! 🤟👍
Patti was my girl friend in the 80s I just wished she knew it.
Our Crush in 1982!!
Best decade ever!!!!
thank God for RUclips music video's... can watch her again and again...
i must admit I had a crush on Patty many moons ago.... Great song..
Patty had an amazing voice and such great music 🎶 and was so fun to watch her perform!
Merci pour ce souvenir avec Patty Smyth une des plus grandes chanteuses rock et quelle voix!
I saw her back in the 80's when she opened for Brian Adams and I had front row seats but some drunk girl who was standing in the chair behind myself and my friend and she puked on my friends head. He reaked the rest of the show but Patti was still great.
Thanks for the memories.
Thanks
My friend Dave puked on the people in front of us at a Yes concert. I felt so bad for them.
I can't believe Eddie Van Halen was going to ask her to join his band! Its hard to imagine what Van Halen would sound like.
I was thinking the same thing....she is great but wont fit VH ...Sammy was a great choice in my humble opinion.
They would’ve been great. She sang Whole Lotta love on letterman once. (Check it out, it’s on RUclips…) she could really wail. & he didn’t just think about asking her, he begged her to join & she said no, unfortunately for both of them. She would’ve been amazing& way way better than drunk boy Sammy Hagar slacks.
Bottoms Up would have taken on a different meaning with her singing.
I would have wanted a piece too Eddie…
She was super hot!!
The world was fun once.
All shes done is awesome love her then and now shes a rocking artist looks personality incredible talent and what a voice! Love her!

It hurts me too, louie.i really miss my adolescence.bebop for Venice bch.1985.
I would watch this show as much as I could. Thinking it was on Friday around 4 pm or so. I miss all these kind of shows today.
It was on @ 11 a.m. (or noon) Saturdays here in MA, on WCVB. I remember seeing it lazin’ ‘round in my PJs! 🤔🎶🤟
Saturday mornings right before lunch!
@@Spiritof_76 👍 Yes siree! 🙂
WoW, I never seen this band before, but heard many times on the radio. She looks a lot like Ann Wilson, and Bounces all over the stage like Nancy Wilson. Wonder who her favorite band was? lol :) btw, that was a great song on the radio days too. :)
Los 80s la mejor década de todos los tiempos saludos cordiales amigos y amigas de América latina
What an awesome time to be young ! Class of 80
Scandal was awesome! I saw them play at the Ritz in NYC a few times, I knew they would make it big . Patty has a great voice and a lot of stage presence.
What a different time we lived in those days, very Possitive. My Girlfreind wore outfits just like that and
we all danced in that same manner, good times.
I'm the same age and good lord watching how we danced back then is just cringey. Love the music though
It seems like yesterday!! I wish I could go back!!!!😢😢😢
