Rindy didn`t relized,she actually broke the ceiling with that unique & unmatchable hit, Harden my hearth!!.People like me,& from all around the globe,were absolutly delighted,with that such a cool & awesome saxo!!!.O.M.G.!!!.Unforgetable!!.
Rindy totally mesmerizes me.She is extra ordinarily pretty, talented and classy and could have been a huge superstar if Quarterflash had more hits but they were still great and had many great songs. She has tremendous charisma.
Always loved their music, but this week on tv I watched Quarter Flash as part of a Festival concert lineup and I was so taken with Rindy, oddly reminded me of a boyfriend I had in the 70's. Strawberry blond, fair skin and undoubtedly lots of freckles. Rindy was born a week before me.
Rindy ! ------A naturally pretty lady -------but having seen them in concert, they were fantastic . -------Much better than anyone imagined. ------------------------------WolfSky9
One of the 1st records I bought as a preteen & still have it! They were & are amazing! Just saw a vid.of them in 2022, & they still got it! We've got to stop treating God-given talent as if they're disposable! Hope to still see them being successful & playing live! 💜🌟Love u guys! Rock on! 💫✨🎁
She's gorgeous,, I'm sorry I didn't learn more about them, even though I listened to them from the start, until recently I that it was a guy member playing the Sax, omg Rindy is awesome playing,, now I have recorded several songs of there's on my old reel-reel....love them....
at night time I think about different 80s videos I haven't seen in so long and then in the morning I get up and Google them to see them I love that there is nothing like the music from the 80s
I met Gordon Jump in the mid-'80's. He was a gentleman and very humble regarding his success. Came all the way from L.A. down to Orange County to talk to us, a bunch of college students who were interested in his life as a Mormon in Hollywood.
I hate when interviewers RAPID FIRE questions at guests and dont even care to hear the answer. This guy is another tv man that is in love with his own self and could literally interview an empty chair and be just as happy about it. Let Rindy talk - no one cares to watch the tv guy talk.
I'm not sure I agree with Marv that the "Harden" video did not break the song nationally because my exposure to Quarterflash was through the "Harden" video which played constantly on early MTV and I am across the country from Oregon. I did not hear "Harden" on the radio first because I kept seeing the video on MTV everyday.
@@ApartmentKing66 I actually remember seeing them on SOlid Gold first, miming Find Another Fool. I remember thinking the vocal harmonies on the chorus sounded like Queen.
Amazing stuff. She could have been legendary had the right moves the right songs been done after that smash hit. Heard it here In Australia in 82 and never forgot it. 42 years later and my kids love it.
Rindy Ross had a similar vocal sound to the group Heart with Ann and Nancy Wilson, or a little like Pat Benatar. But that's where the similarity ends, as when Rindy would play her saxophone this was rather rare to see a woman interlacing live saxophone so well in between her lyrical lines. She was very musically diversified and talented. This is also historically significant to listen to the time period which they only describe in the video description box above as early 1980s. This was an interesting period in music as the interviewer Jim Bosley admits he's not sure where the music is going today. For a guy that just started out in weather reporting earlier he becomes a great interviewer for quite a while on these morning talk shows and interviews. Younger generation should do a little research and look at what was taking place at this time in the early 1980s, because there were groups such as David Byrne and Talking Heads in the Northeast US, miscategorized as Punk when they were later credited for starting what was known as New Wave. The element of Rindy playing saxophone also gives the music an almost jazz-fusion sound. But fusion actually evolved earlier, in fact much earlier than people realize. It was in the mid-1960s with jazz guitar player Larry Coryell, and vibraphone player Gary Burton - you can search a live video RUclips video, when they played a mild Jazz-Fusion number in Berlin Germany in 1967. Although many people will say that fusion started with John McLaughlin and his Mahavishnu orchestra, or when McLaughlin played on Miles Davis in a silent way album in 1969, or miles next album, Bitches Brew in 1970. They also mentioned, local KINK FM 102 radio in this interview, which went through many subtle format changes since then. Younger generations today may want to read the history of how FM underground radio evolved. It actually started in the summer of 1968 at KSAN in San Francisco. By later that year Portland Oregon's KINK FM 102 radio was the second FM underground station in the nation that was broadcast totally on computer-controlled cassettes, of only Long play vinyl album tracks, by a single gentleman announcer named Jeff Douglas, [he was asked to take a stage name for his announcing.] KINK radio would play only long album versions of music just as KSAN in San Francisco started earlier that year in 1968. Notice that Jim Bosley says he listens to Jazz on KINK radio. But what may not be realized here is when he says he doesn't know who David Geffen is. Who is not aware of who Joni Mitchell is? David Geffen was her producer for a number of years and kept her out of the Woodstock Festival in mid-August 1969, so she could be sure to make it to the Dick Cavett Show on the next Monday after the weekend festival in Woodstock. But her friends Crosby Stills Nash & Young made the festival and so did the Jefferson Airplane, which all of these musicians arrived the next Monday morning to be on Dick Cavett's show. I spoke to Graham Nash about this in Portland Oregon when he appeared in the largest bookstore in the nation here at Powell City of Books a few years ago. I posed the question to him while he was taking question and answers about his new book of memoirs he was signing that day to a sell-out crowd in the store, [and I recorded this short interview within an interview that I made on my Sony camera while he was being interviewed by Iris Harrison of KGON radio that day in the bookstore. I asked him to disclose why Joni Mitchell did not make it to Woodstock, so this prompted Nash to tell an even further story about the helicopter that took them into the festival that almost crash-landed. This interview with Jim Bosley further reflects well something about format changes from the late '60s through the 1970s and up through most of the 1980s, that many younger generations say they wish they could have lived during those eras of music. What also comes out on this interview is some very uniquely instrumental, [if you'll excuse my pun about the uniqueness of Rindy Ross playing a saxophone,] but also about music opportunities and the art scene here that evolved, is virtually unknown to the rest of the nation as it was soon to be found that all roads lead to Portland Oregon today. We could even take it back to the 1950s when I was a young child to first hearing Elvis Presley or seeing him on The Ed Sullivan Show, and then of course you know this is going to turn up in music history - I couldn't get away without mentioning how the whole history of music of the 20th century changed on one night in early February of 1964 with the introduction of The Beatles on American television, on The Ed Sullivan Show. And yet Portland also had a big Jazz scene in the late 1940s and through the early 1950s, as Duke Ellington even appeared here for his birthday one year in the early 1950s to play in a jazz bar near North Mississippi Avenue where today sits the Emanuel Hospital. The rest is Portland's great Arts and Music history, as they say.
I hate when people pigeonhole musicians this way. They were just a group of very talented people who really honed their sound. Very tight and polished. How did this guy get a job interviewing anyone? To not know who David Geffen is boggles the mind.
Well, David Geffen isn't a name that's recognizable to people who aren't music geeks. But honestly, this guy sounds like he's more familiar with Mitch Miller than anything that happened after the British Invasion. He probably didn't even know who Brian Epstein was.
Rindy Rock’s. Any band who has an idea about achieving success will put not only a beautiful front lady, but also talented musician as Rindy and her strong songwriting partner and husband Marv.
ccastro306 oh he's not a doofus. That's Jim Bosley! He was a very well loved and respected guy in Portland. He was a news anchor, and co-host of the morning show AM Northwest, which is where that clip is from. They interview everyone. He wasn't young or in tune with modern music, so it's no surprise he didn't know all the labels. This isn't a music show, but they have musical guests sometimes. And every tv show shot in Portland goes on the show (Grimm, Leverage, Portlandia, Librarians, bunch of others). We miss Jim, he passed away several years ago. Also gotta remember Geffen wasn't as well known then.
ccastro306 Geffen was a comparatively new label at the time. Also, in credit to the (then) 50 something interviewer, he is affable and accommodating to the (then) young Rock couple...It is obvious that it is a local Portland variety show so proud of one of their native sons and daughters making it big and wishing them the best. He also asks how much albums sell for for the benefit of his audience. The interviewer is actually a cool guy who seems pretty interested in learning more about the pop culture to which he has just been exposed. Be kinder and more understanding when posting comments about others.
That interviewer is totally out of the loop! He has no clue about anything to do with Pop and Rock music! He's never heard of Geffen Records or Sheena Easton?! Lol
Rindy one of the prettiest, talented singers and saxophonist ever.
She sings and plays the saxophone wonderfully.
That intro by Rindy is is Iconic so love her playing that saxophone no one could have done that better....
Rindy didn`t relized,she actually broke the ceiling with that unique & unmatchable hit, Harden my hearth!!.People like me,& from all around the globe,were absolutly delighted,with that such a cool & awesome saxo!!!.O.M.G.!!!.Unforgetable!!.
Saxophone is such a soulful instrument you are literally breathing your life (soul) into it and that is what makes it so special.
SHES GORGEOUS AND LOVELY.....
I've always loved Rindy, she melts my Heart.
Big Dreams Now
You are a dick.
Rindy totally mesmerizes me.She is extra ordinarily pretty, talented and classy and could have been a huge superstar if Quarterflash had more hits but they were still great and had many great songs. She has tremendous charisma.
Agree
Always loved their music, but this week on tv I watched Quarter Flash as part of a Festival concert lineup and I was so taken with Rindy, oddly reminded me of a boyfriend I had in the 70's. Strawberry blond, fair skin and undoubtedly lots of freckles. Rindy was born a week before me.
Rindy is the only female singer I've heard with a voice as soothing as Karen Carpenter.
No comparison different singers .Both Great Karen was better !!
The saxophone was such an integral part of'80s Rock. These guys, Foreigner, Men At Work,...etc.
Rindy ! ------A naturally pretty lady -------but having seen them in concert, they were fantastic . -------Much better than anyone imagined. ------------------------------WolfSky9

Rindy is an angel
She's gorgeous,, I'm sorry I didn't learn more about them, even though I listened to them from the start, until recently I that it was a guy member playing the Sax, omg Rindy is awesome playing,, now I have recorded several songs of there's on my old reel-reel....love them....
I'm a total 80s music fanatic, love this band that interview suck though
Kellie
at night time I think about different 80s videos I haven't seen in so long and then in the morning I get up and Google them to see them I love that there is nothing like the music from the 80s
Hello Steve it sounds like we have we have music in common
Love that song! Hardin my Heart
The interviewer sounds like a sports commentator signing them up for the NFL
He was a newscaster here as well as morning talkshow host. He was well loved here in the Portland area. Jim Bosley - RIP
The very underrated Quarterflash. With the beautiful Rindy Ross
Wow...them on tour with Loverboy... must have been a great tour!
Steve King First time I saw them, (1st album), Loverboy (2nd album), & Foreigner (4th album), at Mountain Aire '82'.
these guys were good & are still are !!
Merely talking, her voice sounds like pure honey
really loved this band. she is absolutely beautiful and very talented
Wow she's beautiful
Rindy, is an underrated all-around artist, and musician, period.
She was very good at the saxophone. I was a senior in high school in 85-86. This harden my heart was on the radio 81-83.
The interviewer reminds me of Gordon Jump (aka Arthur Carlson) of WKRP :)
"As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!"
snarlingrabiddog5150 that's funny! I've seen him (Jim Bosley) all my life on channel 2, and that never crossed my mind. Lol
That's one of my favorite "WKRP In Cincinnati" episodes.
I met Gordon Jump in the mid-'80's. He was a gentleman and very humble regarding his success. Came all the way from L.A. down to Orange County to talk to us, a bunch of college students who were interested in his life as a Mormon in Hollywood.
Big Guy
Rindy is great.
I have their album. Old school and good.
As a New Zealander I recall them as a one-hit-wonder, but what a hit it was! Everyone knows that song Down Under.
Istanbul Wingman check out the song Take me to heart by quarter flash awesome song
I give them tremendous credit for being humble and polite with the aggressive salesman interviewer. Shows true class. Love Rindy’s speaking voice too!
I hate when interviewers RAPID FIRE questions at guests and dont even care to hear the answer. This guy is another tv man that is in love with his own self and could literally interview an empty chair and be just as happy about it. Let Rindy talk - no one cares to watch the tv guy talk.
Ese temaso fue y sigue siendo un exitaso en los biles de rnr saludos atodos los americanos rnr
I'm not sure I agree with Marv that the "Harden" video did not break the song nationally because my exposure to Quarterflash was through the "Harden" video which played constantly on early MTV and I am across the country from Oregon. I did not hear "Harden" on the radio first because I kept seeing the video on MTV everyday.
Well Harden my heart was a tremedous number 1 hit in 1981 here in Costa Rica
My point was that Harden My Heart was broken by MTV and not the radio. It is a great song!
Yeah
Quarter Flash was born as a big famous group when that show started
MTV raised many music to the success and gave us hours and hours of joy
I DID hear "Harden" on the radio first.
@@ApartmentKing66 I actually remember seeing them on SOlid Gold first, miming Find Another Fool. I remember thinking the vocal harmonies on the chorus sounded like Queen.
Amazing stuff. She could have been legendary had the right moves the right songs been done after that smash hit. Heard it here In Australia in 82 and never forgot it. 42 years later and my kids love it.
I love Quarterflash a lot
Quarter flash never got there due and more air time ! try listing to them you will be surprised .

Thank you for that wonderful history lesson!
Great sax!
Rindy Ross wow
I wonder if I saw them in Portland.
Great sound.
Became famous by way of a song about breaking up that came out the month I was born, and they're still together 40 years later.
What a lucky man to be with Rindy Ross. Make it faster!
She is lovely
"....the 45 record, the little one...." many people won't have a clue what he just said... :)
What's that?
With the big circular adapter you have to put on the record player to play a 45.
Lol!!! You had to put that adapter in!!!!!!!!
Is it called a spindle?@@trashpanda314
Love the ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT theme song intro at the beginning. Also, this interviewer looks like Mr. Carlson from WKRP.
He kinda of reminds me of Mr. Carlson on WKRP in Cincinnati. 😊
💖💖💖💘 i love you, Rindy.
One of the Great Interviewers oh yeah lol. ,,,,,!!!!!
Rindy was smoking hot.
4:50 all those great cities of the east from 35 years ago are dead zones now.
I live in St. Louis. The inner city has bad parts but the surrounding area is still nice. I understood your point, just wanted to interject that.
Class act.
Interesting video 🎷
These folks finally retired 2-3 years ago at 72 or so. But the music was very easy to listen and rock to.
I'm going to see them January 8th 💕🎉🎉
They were actually "only" 68 when they put on Quarterflash's final concert.
She is a sweetheart ❤.
Geffen? Never heard of them. What a dope!
love quarterflash
Sako saxo sako merci quaterflash since France 🌬💕
The 80’s were so great, musically. So many different styles, genres, looks - if you were talented, you could get airplay and make it !
Hermosa canción aun perdura en el tiempo...saludos desde Perú

What's up with that guys hair? Did he color it in with a marker?
Lmmfao
I'm certain that intervers hair is drawn with a black marker!!
lol;
morris minor08 I thought I was the only one who noticed that lmao
An interviewer sucked poor Quarterflash
Rindy Rock’s. Any band who has an idea about achieving success will put not only a beautiful front lady, but also talented musician as Rindy and her strong songwriting partner and husband Marv.
$8.98 for an album! Obviously this was taped pre-Biden!
Love it
Asylum Records '71, Geffen Records '80 and Dreamworks SKG '94, I bet he's heard of him, David Geffen now !
It’s funny hearing this guy say he’s never heard of Geffen Records.
❤
Guest: ..."which means, one quarter flash and three parts foolish. Hah, hah!..."
Interviewer: "I...see...."...
Never a thicker man have I seen.
this interviewer is cracking me up
"Our music is not hard rock, but not soft rock, either". Makes me think of the local MOR radio station that played "not too hard, not too soft" music.
Never heard of Geffen?
I think That dude has axel grease rubbed on the side of his head!! Wow. Lol
1981 interview
Que hermosa mujer !! So kind lady so erotica mujer !! %100’ valuvalunble !! ❤️😍
Classic entertainment Tonight
Painful interview. Even going back in time. Whoa.
Good ol' Jim Bosley. Man this makes me feel old.
The Boz
Rindy and Marv are awesome...but what a doofus this interviewer is ! he doesn't even know Geffen Records or what an album sells for !
ccastro306 oh he's not a doofus. That's Jim Bosley! He was a very well loved and respected guy in Portland.

More like an interrogation than an interview!
I figured that after the interview, they both looked at each other and said, " Who was the schmuck who just interviewed us? :.
1981 right? Or 82?
tall32guy yeah
Jan '82. This was the 1st vid I put on SHAZAM! a TVNZ pop show that ran weekly for 7 years thru the '80s.
tall32guy 1982
One quarterflash and three parts foolish XD
interviewer's hair is hilarious...
Linda
Shwing!
Take me to Heart is my favorite.
They can’t be happy at what Portland has become. Nothing like Portland of the 80’s.
the interviewer sounds like Uncle Fester.
is it me or the interviewer's voice is not an ideal one to do so? Scratching on blackboard perhaps?
And worst of all, he looks like you..
That interviewer is totally out of the loop! He has no clue about anything to do with Pop and Rock music! He's never heard of Geffen Records or Sheena Easton?! Lol
very early Entertainment Tonight, back when it was an interesting show. Another person that forgot how good Quarterflash was!
Jim Bosley was very good weather man here in Portland.
Chegou ?!
Deus que me Livre .
Ja vai ?
Gracas a Deus .
Gente boa , ruim mesmo foi a Jararaca que nao Mordeu o Cavalo , que tava levando a Parteira .
Very sexy woman with a great voice and plays sax like that. Fantastic haunting song. Love is a road also a great number.
How could you not know who David Geffen is? This interviewer was lost when it came to Rock & Roll
I thought for sure they would have British Accents 😮.😊
She reminds me of Christy Canyon.
Geffen? Never heard of him. Ha Ha!
if this was the early 80-ties and that guy is still calling them kids .. they must have been in their thirties
Such a hottie she is.....
This goof host is woefully out of his depth here....it's cringe but hilarious.
Marv looks like Dana carvey
