This song isn't a hidden gem. The first Scandal album was an EP that had five or so songs. This song and "Goodbye To You" were the two that got air play. They were also the two main songs featured in a commercial for the EP, as that's how I heard about them. That EP was one of, if not the first, cassette I was old enough to buy on my own. I must have been 12. :)
@@JimmyDaKoik He was just saying his opinion. Why the critique? I was in my 30's when this was popular. I don't compare it with the 70's musicians that I admire. I don't compare it to the other 80's singers/bands. I just enjoy it for what it is. If I has not heard many of the songs by this artist then I would say something as this person said. Instead of being a person that must make all things exact and a critic of others I just enjoy and let people feel what they feel. As long as they are happy, what does it matter!
@@arlenebowers326 The claim that it was a hidden gem from the first album implies that it was overshadowed by other songs on the album.. It wasn't. It was one of the two songs from a five song EP that got airplay. It has nothing to do with opinions. Also it's a great song! :)
MTV. Damn I miss those years and great memories 😊. It just doesn't seem that long ago. Now I'm 61 retired and still listening to the music of the 80's. I couldn't leave it behind.
This woman had that extra twist in her voice!! In those “Yoo’oooou!” hooks in the song! Pretty lady. Rocking a soulful, lil’ grunt , great range voice!! Legend, and top tier ROCK vocalist ……Woman or dude .
I remember driving home from a club one night, not long after a woman I dearly loved had broken up with me, and this song came on the radio. I had to believe Patty knew what she was talking about, and she was right! This song brings back so many good memories of clubbing in the 80's.
I'm glad to see Patty didn't get rid of her prom dress! But seriously, kudos to the director for starting the video backlit in near darkness, then hitting her with flood light. She just pops out at ya with that walk. From that first shot you're completely drawn in for the whole video. Extremely well done.
Great sultry voice, great looking, and a can do attitude. I listen to her songs often. There is a reason so many people love you Patty, including this silly old goat. The passion in your songs is genuine.
@@ZulcanPrime it was plenty popular when it came out... the issue wasn't the song being underrated, its that surrounding it on the charts was so much talent and great songs that it settled where it could. Compare that to today where a song even a quarter as well written and performed would win grammys... sad
It was a huge song for them...one of my favorite songs that summer.... everyone knew it and everyone loved it...the problem for charting was that back then the charts were full of massive all time talent and great songs...real tough for a single from an EP to compete
And notice too, you never hear any scandal about 'Scandal'. Just some kids in love playing some tasty rock and roll. She seems like a real sweetheart and her and the old man have been married for decades. God Bless em.
My understanding is that she did not like the industry, and did not want to conform to the practices it took to be a big star. She turned down Eddie Van Halen's offer to replace David Lee Roth when he exited. That would have been a huge career boost, but she chose to do her own thing the way she wanted to do it. As it is, she produced just a handful of commercially successful gems, while maintaining her creative independence. Still, it's a wonder that she is not more well known.
I played John McEnroe in the early 80s and I have never played anyone more talented than him. Truly a magician with the racket and the disposition of an A$$Hole!!
To this day I'm shocked that we didn't hear a lot more from this band in the 80s and 90s. Anytime I heard a song from them on the radio in the 80s, I loved it and wanted more. Yet, they kind of disappeared, adding to the mystique, but bummed and confused as to what happened!? Where are they!? Please come back!
yep , i saw this bad in Cali. back in the 80,s a few times ..i think this singer was replaced ,or she was the replacment.The band played a lot in w.Coast a lot. a lot.I miss the 1980,s Central Coast. I left in the 90,s i heard the big toilet flush ,and left before the smell got too bad
I think we ALWAYS had fake news, it just wasn't as brutal and "in your face" as now. How I TRULY miss the days of NO TWITTER, NO PC CULTURE, NO CELL PHONES, ETC......But gosh, the MUSIC. What happened to pure, raw, musical talent and creativity just oozing out of society.? It seems to have always existed throughout the different styles of music since ancient times and then suddenly came to a screeching halt in the 90's, with a VERY FEW scattered exceptions since then. Being a little bit "old school" I preferred 60's and 70's music during the 80's I didn't really care for a lot of the music during that decade. But when I listen to 80's music now I am SHOCKED not only at the quality of it but DEEPLY SADDENED that it's time has passed.
Didn’t have to dress like a hooker, didn’t have to cuss, didn’t have to use auto tune, and didn’t have to dance like a stripper. Nope. Just talent. Real talent. Some would classify this video as cheesy or simple or totally 80’s. Yes, yes, and YESSSS and you know what? It’s STILL being played in the 21st Century!! Patty Smyth and Scandal were one of my favorite groups of the 1980’s!!!
This Scandal/Patty Smyth song was the only one I thought worth buying an mp3 version of, for my extensive iTunes library (over 1300 songs, several hundred of them from the 80s)... I passed on songs like The Warrior & Goodbye to You, though. In any case, fond memories of hearing Scandal songs (and many others, for that matter) on the radio around the time I graduated college (spring of '84) and moved hundreds of miles from home to start by career job. 😀
Dressing sexily doesn't take away from anyone's talent. Girls and women dress sexy all the time, it's not illegal or bad to express yourself even if it's in a sexual way. Mick Jagger does it, Bowie did it, etc. I do agree this is a great song though.
I guess what I meant was some of today’s “singers” that dress like, well, they barely dress. Patty was sexy (especially in her Red dress) and really didn’t even try. I still have my EP of this album bought when it came out!! (I’m old!)
During 1983 Jon Bon Jovi joined Scandal as a rhythm guitarist (briefly). He also appears during a demo recording of the music video for Scandal's 1983 single "Love's Got A Line On You" which reached #59 in the US
Have been a big fan since they started and I got the EP on vinyl. Then afterwards I got Patty's solo albums. She's got a signature voice of her own that you can't mistake. I wish I'd gone and seen them in concert, when I lived in New York. One of my favorites is goodbye to you. I thank Patty and Scandal for many years of excellent tunes. 😁
Damn McEnroe!! If it wasn’t for him it could have been me…..at least that’s how it played out in my 1980’s dreams. Love you Patty. Huge fan then, huge fan now.
American Sound! American Look! Rhythm paced! Language toned! Soprano Range! Clean! Neat & Sure! English! To Note: 63 years of age! Rock & Roll Hall of famer!
Probably the best personnel line up for Scandal! No disrespect to Rocco, the first drummer. What a great band and song! They should have become way bigger than they did. Again, what great members of the band in this video. Such a shame they couldn't keep it going!
Prom dress from 82. I was in love with Patti. Just like all the other 12 year olds in Philly in 1982. She was SO cool. I thought she was the coolest girl I'd ever seen.
There was such a purity to her, like a just struck silver bell that sends our a note that shivers the barriers of what was, of what may be. By time it registers, only the feeling of something important that was on the tip of your tongue - at the edge of your mind - remains.
+Valentin Koscheyev Such a beautiful voice' clear and great tone 'she had a winning combination' great looks along with a unbelievable voice' LOVE YOU PATTY .

Wow, pipes, stage presence, charisma and drop dead gorgeous, Patty had it all.
She's 66 years old now and still sounds amazing
…..Still Does!!
Yes sir she blew all others away
As well as my date's prom dress.
She was petite.
The voice, the face, the hair, the legs - what a throwback to a great and missed time.
So dang good🎸🎶😍 My dad loved this band. I am very grateful to him for playing Southern Rock when we I was a young girl🎶
Southern rock?
Southern Rock?
That would be the Allman Bros. Band and Lynard Skynard. This girl from Scandal is from Brooklyn N.Y.
Patty Smyth... What an incredible voice.. what a beauty ,!!
American women of the 80s were absolutely stunning Goddesses❤
What a vocalist. Patty is both gorgeous and extremely talented
She was and still is beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@JimmyDaKoik Thanks for clearing it up.
I think this is a slightly different arrangement than the one she sang on their promo video.
Patty Smyth yum yums from the 80s. Why do we gotta get old?
Because if u didn't grow old you couldnt appreciate
Patty’s got that combination of Linda Ronstadt and Pat Benatar looks. And the voice to boot.
You sir, do not know what you are talking about; Patty Smythe is one of a kind,,,
Very well said!!
also debbie harry maybe
No way she's way better looking
Her band members were hot, too! And very talented.
She always melted me. When a Scandal video came on MTV, we just sat down and watched.
MTV. Damn I miss those years and great memories 😊. It just doesn't seem that long ago. Now I'm 61 retired and still listening to the music of the 80's. I couldn't leave it behind.
R.I.P. drummer Frankie LaRocka (1954-2005) and keyboardist Benjy King (1954-2012).
Man, they died young.
The fact that the first Scandal album hasn't gotten a CD release or Vinyl re-release is a scandal in itself.
It was an EP or a mini album. Such a thing does not exist anymore.
@@michaelmccrystal98 True. But EPs have gotten CD reissues before.
The 2014 CD reissue of the Warrior album on Rock Candy Records includes all the tracks from the first EP as well.
@@kevgambleGood to know! Thanks.
She’s a high-level combination of confidence, strength, attractiveness and raw natural talent
Smyth livens up every song she sings. You know that when she starts hopping, she is about to belt out the Rock N Roll!
I had such a crush on Patty!🥰
Still do at 60
We did too.
What a beautiful and unforgetable song
80s rule forever❗️

25 years for Patty and McEnroe. Many more .....
It is impossible to not love the song and Patty Smyth. She is drop dead gorgeous and damn can she sing!
Hell yeah she's hot!!! I think I need something like reverse Viagra!
she was drop dead gorgeous until that sumbitch mcenroe grabbed a hold of her.
Yes I thought she was a better singer than Madonna. She's also beautiful and a class act.
@@cat-lw6kq Not too hard to be a better singer than Madonna. 😒 But yeah, Patty rules.
@@cat-lw6kq Listen to the isolated vocals between Madonna and Patty. There is no contest. Patty blows her away.
This song with Patty's mastering vocals is a work of art a true MASTERPIECE
The 80s had the best music during all Earth history.
Damn prom dress gets me everytime! Just the cutest damn girl singer, and holy shit, what a set of pipes!
Great TALENT IN MY YOUTH GROWING UP IN THE LSTE 70S AND 80S THIS HAS GOT TO B THE HIDDEN GEM IN BANDS OF THE 80S. ❤
I'm glad to see Patty didn't get rid of her prom dress! But seriously, kudos to the director for starting the video backlit in near darkness, then hitting her with flood light.

Love her voice, looks and talent!
Great sultry voice, great looking, and a can do attitude. I listen to her songs often. There is a reason so many people love you Patty, including this silly old goat. The passion in your songs is genuine.
You can't help but love genuine people. They're increasingly rare. If you find one, and I hope that you do, hold on and don't let go.
This band consistenly pumped-out solid, melodic hooks for radio hits back in the early 80's. Patty's voice was phenomenal too.
I always loved this song from Scandal!!! Should’ve been a huge hit on the charts!!!
It is strange how some songs are more popular and appreciated after many years of release. Time is a good a good friend to many artists and singers.

She didnt get the big awesome climb like the rest cuz she didnt go along with their shit like having to get passed around she has morals!
Patty Smyth for ever the first❤
Patty is still one of the most underrated singers of all time.
Still one of my my favorites of all time. Patty Smyth had it and is still rocking.❤🔥🌹
the best yrs back then,,, Girls dressed Hot in the 80s and 90s,,,, God Bless Patty
60s was much better for cars, girls and music....been going downhill in so many ways since then....look around and you'll see !!!!!!!!!
The girls dressed hot...but not trashy!!!
So clean, smooth, perfectly simple
How was she not a huge star?

billybareblu Wow, I did not know that.
She wasnt playing their diddy games
Lovely lady ❤❤❤❤❤❤ beautiful voice love all songs
How could Johnny McEnroe be so pissed off all the time when he has such a queen like her as a wife. Always blows my mind
I played John McEnroe in the early 80s and I have never played anyone more talented than him. Truly a magician with the racket and the disposition of an A$$Hole!!
He was more pissed off when he was married to Tatum O'Neal.
I never get tired of Her voice, She has the sound And She was Dead Sexy also.. This was the 80's folks.

80s girls were so slim and fit..... gorgeous to boot!!
I was in high school during the 80's I was thin but not now. I do have friends that are just as beautiful as they were in high school.
If you remember...Workout Gyms were just getting popular.
A body in motion....stays in motion!
Gotta keep movin'...I just turned 60 !
Back when it was OK to fat shame.
same can be said about the men. heh.
Such an 80s prom dress!

All I know is she's married to John McEnroe. Yes, a beautiful voice.
I met her in the village! Very talented lady.
Thanks for posting Patty. It seems real. Jesus.
Kleenex owes Patty some royalties for sales during the 80's!

In the Warrior video with her hair up- it reminds me of "Something About Mary"
Man I had forgotten about this one. Great to hear it again. By the way she couldn't be more beautiful.
Powerful vocals allways love her
She sounded nice. I've never heard this song, and I'm already impressed.
Check out her playlist its awesome!

And you haven't taken a shower since :)

Still in love with patty after all these years her incredible vocals , beaty, stage presence, shes incredibe!

Loved the rasp in her voice
...I was an MTV junkie when this came out but I don't ever remember seeing this video...yes, kids, MTV used to be an incredibly awesome channel....
Yes, they used to play great music videos...not have crappy reality shows like The Jersey Shore.
Agree..now MTV is shit
Make MTV great again
...and make me 20 years old again!!!...f%#@, tempus fugit😕...
Oh yes her vocals are amazing along with the show on the stage
Probably the best personnel line up for Scandal! No disrespect to Rocco, the first drummer.

Great voice, great guitar licks and kicking drums. Awesome tune...
The Van Halen brothers once considered her to replace David Lee Roth. Like, for real. How awesome would that have been!
And she politely declined to EVH ! Thats a statement !
So did Motley Crue...
Wow!
Whaaaaat?!?! How do I get to the alternate are reality where she said yes and that happened????
Wow!
