We did not know how good we had it with the 80s music until it was gone. As a teen growing up in NJ, I would listen to this tune and many other 80s tunes on WPLJ and Z100 late at night and be in heaven! You had to be alive during the 80s to understand what I mean. Trust!!

I am planning my funeral currently and selecting all the songs that were an important part of it to bore the hell of the attendees. This is definitely one. The last song will be Pink Floyds "Comfortably Numb"

People ask why these songs aren't around anymore in the mainstream. I'll tell you why. It's because they are not mass-marketable anymore. While they may be in demand and while they might well be loved by youth if they were to be produced; there is no way to make money out of songs such as this in the current pop culture climate - and this is the root of the problem here. Tracks that are mainstream, crap, dance, rap pop sell to the 15-24 year old market (the most key market for advertisers). Thus today's "artists" are sold on top of everything else that is marketable and linked with them. You can't market brands like adidas, Coca-Cola, iphone, Talk Talk, O2 etc with songs like this anymore. Brenda Russell won't be selling alcopops or Smirnoff on the radio with this song, but Flo-Rida singing cynical songs about bitches and hoes definitely will (You see the link? Alcohol and songs with vapid, sexual lyrics sell pretty well together as a package). Our buying power and our loyalty to brands start at a young age. As we get older, we get hooked onto brand power; that means sales and therefore money. It never used to be like that but that is because less focus was placed on the 15-24 year old market back then as the advertising Mad Men were still figuring out what worked. And that is, unfortunately, for people like myself, the state of current pop culture. Full of transient, meaningless, crap, rap hop that is churned out like a farm of battery hens to keep the monster growing. That is why very little of the music you hear nowadays has much shelf life. It has one sole purpose - to make big business big money.

Its kind of ironic for me but I remember lamenting this style of adult contemporary music in the 80s and 90s. That being what it is, I have to say this style of music has more heart and soul than anything they play on the radio in modern times. This music has more talent, more technical proficiency, and displays the true mastery of music than anything they play today. Truth be told, there is a famine of good music these days and music such as this proves how far we have fallen.

Freaking awesome song. It came out in 1988, I think, when I was waiting tables putting myself through school. It was on our music track in the restaurant, and I got distracted from my work every time it came on. At the end of the night when we were cleaning up, it would come on, and I could concentrate on how beautiful a song it is. As much as I love Brenda Russell, mainly a songwriter, Joe Esposito also makes this song. I love it now in 2017, 29 years later just as much.
