I’m 68 now but I remember this like it was yesterday ! The tune stays in my mind. The whole 70-80s were full of great soft rock hits. With lyrics you aren’t ashamed of singing aloud around kids. Blessings everyone be safe!
I was 12 when this came out and despised this song as it somehow represented to me the heralding of a _new era_ of music and the erasure of the beloved 60-70s pop and soul I had come to treasure. (funny how children develope such arbitrary values lol) After the past couple of decades of cynical debaucherous lyrics and soulless synthetic instrumentation, I truly recognize the brilliance of this and many other songs from that long gone era.
You have great taste in music. This song was playing on the radio after I asked my cute girlfriend to marry me..... that was August 1980. We were married on the First Day of Spring 21 March 1981.
I'm 32, apparently a lot younger than most of the commentators here. Although I love older music I didn't know this masterpiece until today and I'm totally in love 😮
What can I say, listening to this gem reminds me of growing up in the 70’s and 80’s…still being transported to a state of bliss love this music..awesome!
The soft rock of the 70's that then crossed over into the early 80's was the best music of my life with artists like Robbie Dupree, Paul Davis, Ambrosia, Little River Band, Dan Fogelberg, Christopher Cross, the Orleans, etc. etc. etc.
I was 14 when this was in the charts, the year when music started to actually matter to me. I'm instantly transported back by my musical time machine now I've heard this for the first time in probably 35 years
I'm in my 60 now. I was in my late 20s when this song came out. I loved it then, and still today it sounds just as fresh and wonderful as it always did.
Great one hit wonder in 1980....reminds me of my friend Sue who I had such a crush on....we stayed friends until she died suddenly at age 40 from a brain annyerism..I still miss her, but I have songs 🎵 and movies to remind and remember me of the friendship we had and the good times we had
So sweet. Like old friends these songs from this transitional era between decades (also, Christopher Cross, Roger Voudouris, Doobie Brothers, Stephen Bishop) bring back dear memories.
Do I hear Michael McDonald sing backup on this my God that guy is literally the main singer or backup singer on every single yacht Rock song and I absolutely love it😅
Retro music is so good because we are able to reminisce our memories from them. And this feeling of being nostalgic, remembering the times when we were young, wild and free is just so excruciatingly indescribable, no words can truly explain it. And that's why it's so beautiful. Heard this song on the radio again while cruising down the highway on a cool Friday night. And Friday nights used to be the time to go down to clubs, meeting new people, having a drink or two and soaking in some love memory. When we were young.
Same for my wife and I. Our first date was on 29 Feb 80, Leap Year Evening and a blind date. We were married on the 1st Day of Spring, 21 Mar 81. 40 years
This is SO MAGICAL...I haven't heard it since I was a child. It totally captivated me in the early 80's. It's funny because I had never known love, I was too young at the time. But I think we are wired like that, to recognize and identify with it, and soon seek that wonderful, precious, crazy thing for ourselves.
I remember when I was a kid, we lived in this big house in Aurora,CO that was two stories with a full sub floor, the house had an intercom system in it with a built in radio so you could play music through all the speakers, I remember playing in the bathtub as an 8 year old back in 81 and hearing this song piping through the intercom. Such a simpler time when we could just be kids, Part of me would give anything to go back, but I know it would never be the same, I'd have to have my brain wiped first.
This song just flew into my brain out of nowhere. Stored safely in my bank of songs from when I was 7 and also listening to the radio when we got our baths. And Solid Gold, and Casey Casum ❤
How many of us are still listening to this in September 2020. It would be so nice to just steal away and get out from underneath this quarantine and have life the way it used to be. Everyone please stay safe
Steal Away Robbie Dupree C'mon and hold me Just like you told me Then show me What I want to know Why don't we steal away Why don't we steal away Into the night I know it ain't right Tease me, why don't you please me Then show me What you came here for Why don't we steal away Why don't we steal away Into the night I know it ain't right Into the night babe Make it tonight ooohh I caught you glancing my way And I know what you're after (no second chances tonight) Why don't we steal away Why don't we steal away Why don't we steal away Why don't we steal away Into the night I know it ain't right Into the night I know it ain't right Why don't we steal away I know it ain't right Into the night, babe Why don't we steal away Make it tonight Why don't we steal away
@user-fj1pq8me7w Well it was a female babysitter although even though she wasn't the prettiest lady in the world,I can think of worse things to have happened to me. I don't think she deliberately wanted me to get a message from the song. It was on the radio a lot because it was a current top 10 hit.

I played this song 🎵 on the jukebox in a bar at least three times last night and most of the bar was singing 😅😅😅😅.I got drunk drinking beer and sung this song 🎵 real loud😂😂😂with nephew and friend who were also plastered.1980!!
when music was music. this is a great song I listened to growing up. i am 57 songs like this and other groups like steely dan and ambrosia were comforting to me.
❤ I've always loved this song, even more now. Great memories for me. Listening to these songs are stuck with me. Wouldn't trade it for the world. I miss them days😊
It would be great if Michael recorded his version of this song. His voice would only make this song better. He practically deserves some writing credit for it.
I was 6 in 1980 but I remember this song on the radio back then, this is one of those special songs that transports you back to that moment in time, a masterpiece 💘
So I go to college and am currently dating a 22 year old. I played this while we were talking. Before you know it she was smiling, said it made her feel happy and wanted me to turn it up. She loves Robbie now lol.
I'm 46 I remember dancing with my mom to this song when I was 5yrs old.
Hi America
You know this is a sexual song right?
I’m 68 now but I remember this like it was yesterday ! The tune stays in my mind. The whole 70-80s were full of great soft rock hits. With lyrics you aren’t ashamed of singing aloud around kids. Blessings everyone be safe!
I am 68 Keith, and you say it all. If I die tonight we had the best music!
Totally relate to these comments🙂
Lol I'm not sure the lyrics to this one are particularly elevating. The tune is great however.
@@davidhuber2679 hands down .....the 70s was the greatest era of music.
I was 12 when this came out and despised this song as it somehow represented to me the heralding of a _new era_ of music and the erasure of the beloved 60-70s pop and soul I had come to treasure. (funny how children develope such arbitrary values lol)

I’m 17 and love it as well, yacht rock for life!
Can't get enough of these soft rock hits. This one is one of my favorites.
I'm a Rupert Holmes fan, as well as digging Paul Davis.
Soft rock is life!
Late 70’s early 80’s had some great music like this.

All produced in high end Los Angeles area recording studios of the time @@AndI0td763
"what a fool believes" always gets stuck in my head when I hear this song
Literally thought this was Steely Dan on my first listen, but have come to find a new artist, Satan Hail Yacht Rock!
Very similar harmony’s
it's too similar dude! xD i love more what a fool believes
Definitely a similar tune. Michael McDonald is like a higher pitched Robbie Dupree
Ooh yeah! Doobie Brothers, oh shucks now! You talking my language. Like this song By Robbie Dupree, too. Remember this playing on my radio.
Roller skating in the 80’s!! 🎉🎉🎉🥰🥰🥰🛼🛼🛼
Fast skate, backwards skate, ladies only skate, couples' skate...
I'm still learning to skate, and I once rollerbladed.
Ahhh good times, well worth the arthritis. 😂
Love 💕 it
That was exactly what I was thinking when this song started. In 1980 this WAS the couples skate song. I miss being 12 and ruling the rink!!!
I'm 32, apparently a lot younger than most of the commentators here. Although I love older music I didn't know this masterpiece until today and I'm totally in love 😮
59 y.o remember it like it was the day before yesterday... but thank you Waitrose
This song sounds more like “What a Fool Believes” than What a Fool Believes
Yeah Doobie Brothers I thought that too
Was 14 when I bought this record. Loved it so much then. Thanks Waitrose for the Xmas advert transporting me back to those great days of buying 45s😅❤
What can I say, listening to this gem reminds me of growing up in the 70’s and 80’s…still being transported to a state of bliss love this music..awesome!
Same here . Wish I could go back to both of those decades !
Amoo D+ essa música ,só saudadess,velhos tempos,muitoo bom.
Masterpiece
I love to have some whiskey and a cigar on my patio and watch the sunset to jams like these 😎
I’m 57 going on 58 and I totally agree this soft rock is amazing … it’s a pleasure to listen to these 70 and 80’S tunes … ❤
I so look back on these songs '70s and '80s produce some great music now look at we got
The soft rock of the 70's that then crossed over into the early 80's was the best music of my life with artists like Robbie Dupree, Paul Davis, Ambrosia, Little River Band, Dan Fogelberg, Christopher Cross, the Orleans, etc. etc. etc.
Reminds me of someone I never stopped loving a long time ago. The one that I let go❤
I was 14 when this was in the charts, the year when music started to actually matter to me. I'm instantly transported back by my musical time machine now I've heard this for the first time in probably 35 years
Absolutely gorgeous music!!! Reminds me of Michael McDonald what a fool believes!! Music like this never, never, never grow old!!!☺️🔥🔥🔥
He was accused of ripping off that very song when this came out.
Yes Doobie Brothers
Its one of my all time faves and is so much like what a fool believes. Totally agree❤😂
I'm in my 60 now. I was in my late 20s when this song came out. I loved it then, and still today it sounds just as fresh and wonderful as it always did.

Sorry to hear about your friends passing.
Robbie Dupree had another hit, Hot Rod Hearts...
Here in 2024 because of the Waitrose Christmas "steal away" TV commercial where I am in the UK.
Are they promoting shoplifting? Seems a strange choice for a grocery shop 🤣🤣
I thought it was a Robbie Wiiliams soft rock new tune. I know Rob does this kind of stuff. Lol can't believe it's as old as me. I'm 50
Me too ... I just love it every time it comes on. So glad I was able to find it so easily 🙂
@@nickynoo5183No, it's a Xmas themed "Whodunnit".
Same!!!
So sweet. Like old friends these songs from this transitional era between decades (also, Christopher Cross, Roger Voudouris, Doobie Brothers, Stephen Bishop) bring back dear memories.
Who's Roger Voudouris?

I agree 💯 percent
Another Robbie Dupree song that takes me back to a time of my life i cherish the older I get.
Ur right Vin about Robbie Dupree great song Steal Away. Also love his song Hot Rod Hearts. A great time in music
Yeah I've always loved this song here yeah there's some laid-back music this song is let's do it make love ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ music to Love by
Hot Rod Hearts is another good one.😊
最高の1980年代の初頭を飾る名曲❗ウォークマンでずっと聴いてました。邦題が2人だけの夜だったか？違うか？
Wow, this song is still great. It was from back in the day when the lead singers could actually sing well . Miss those days!
shut the fuck up no one cares
Great 70 and 80 memories
Yes sad to say the soul in music had vanished we got lucky to have great music in our era cause now it's garbage total garbage
Love this song and Dave Mason singing it. It's meaningful.
robbie Dupree dropped one of the coolest songs ever.
Do I hear Michael McDonald sing backup on this my God that guy is literally the main singer or backup singer on every single yacht Rock song and I absolutely love it😅
Not many know that term KUDOS!!!!
Yacht Rock!!!!@ finally, someone else knows that term.
Always loved this song! Takes me back to good times.
Takes me back to summer '80!
このキラキラした音楽は、真にこの時代のものだ！
I love this song!!!! Its bring me a nostalgic memories from school time!!!

I really love this song back in 1980. Brings back alot of memories. 😊
Hand clapping. A piano. Nice vocals. We are back in the 70s or the 80s. Great stuff
So fun to revisit this song in August 2024!
Met my husband in 1980. Married in 1981 love this song!
Same for my wife and I. Our first date was on 29 Feb 80, Leap Year Evening and a blind date. We were married on the 1st Day of Spring,

Thank you Waitrose! ❤
What a feelgood song always loved it and always will
This is SO MAGICAL...I haven't heard it since I was a child. It totally captivated me in the early 80's.
It's funny because I had never known love, I was too young at the time. But I think we are wired like that, to recognize and identify with it, and soon seek that wonderful, precious, crazy thing for ourselves.
Heartwarming, I don't know how these musicians create such feel good music! So talented and smooth..
Questions is why can't today's musicians do it?
Well said Laura .
@@mangojulie123 oh my god do you ever shut the fuck up
Well this guy managed to sound just like Hall and Oates vocals with Doobie Brothers instrumentals - both very successful popular bands at the time.

Such a magical time in soft rock.
Right on !
Takes me right back like a time machine, oh man how I miss it so.

I'm 80, as of March 6th. I came of age in the seventies! No better music ever produced.
I'm 67. Great stuff.
I'm leaving this comment here so maybe after a week or a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this awesome song.

Best comment on RUclips
You’re reminder call

This song will be around long after we are gone my friend. no worries.
When I was a little kid, I saw a hot air balloon race and they were playing this on the PA system. Summer 1980.
Ahhh, my youth...this song makes me happy and sad at the same time..."laughter through tears is my favorite emotion"--Truvy, Steel Magnolias

Thank You Barbara. Great Song For The Times Were Going Through.
2024 - still going strong and even touching younger generations. I’m in my early 40s and love this tune 🥰
Love to jam this in the pool in the backyard floating with a strong drink 😎
Nice song..best for road trip..the tempo just right..especially holding hands of very special someone..sipping coffee..☕🏞️🌴🌳🙂
Great song!!! It was very underrated...when music was at its best.
Music like this is like a fine wine for the ears...it just somehow ages and gets better with time.
Awesome some! The 70s were great memories for me! This song is pure ❤️ and soul!💗
This song is epic!!! I still play this song on my on-line music show. I lost count on how many times this tune was requested over the years.
Steal Away
Robbie Dupree
C'mon and hold me
Just like you told me
Then show me
What I want to know
Why don't we steal away
Why don't we steal away
Into the night
I know it ain't right
Tease me, why don't you please me
Then show me
What you came here for
Why don't we steal away
Why don't we steal away
Into the night
I know it ain't right
Into the night babe
Make it tonight ooohh
I caught you glancing my way
And I know what you're after (no second chances tonight)
Why don't we steal away
Why don't we steal away
Why don't we steal away
Why don't we steal away
Into the night
I know it ain't right
Into the night
I know it ain't right
Why don't we steal away
I know it ain't right
Into the night, babe
Why don't we steal away
Make it tonight
Why don't we steal away
For some reason, this song reminds me of watching "Threes Company" re-runs as a kid in the 80's.
2021..
E continuo amando essa música, que fez parte da melhor época da minha vida..saudade dos anos 80.❤😘🇧🇷
La época dorada !!!! Saludos duo Brasil desde México países hermanos .
Me too! So many times I wish I could go back in time. Music and the world seemed so much better and happier.
Vdd musicão de 1980
Ouvi de novo essa música ha 2 dias, décadas após a ouvir pela 1a vez. E agora não sai mais da mente ohoo. Thank God!
Eu tbem adoro!!! É super dançante.Escuto é já quero dançar!!! Bons tempos!!! Boas músicas!!!
essa música passa uma sensação inexplicável
Always loved this song! So pretty. The melody reminds me a bit of Billy Joel.
That Bass and Conga drum is everything. That's some excellent bass playing, taking the bass for a walk.
My babysitter would pick me up and drive me around during the summer between 2nd and 3rd grade and this song was always on.
@user-fj1pq8me7w Well it was a female babysitter although even though she wasn't the prettiest lady in the world,I can think of worse things to have happened to me.
