I am 66 and have had a great life, not perfect but great. Not all my friends can say that. The music is what got me through some tough times. The music of today is so pale compared to 50 years ago.
Yes brother i'm 59 going on 29 and at that age I had so much love for music and the lyrics , in my teens and early 20s I was just into partying and hard rock , geez I have also had a Great life thus far TY Lord God ! :)
Played this at my wedding and then at my husband's funeral 5 years later. At least we had 8 years together. He'd sing this to me when he was feeling lovey dovey! Sure miss him! 😥😘
John 's the best . simply the best. Met him at a signing. and WHAT a voice a vocalist myself, i am simply in awe of the talent. I didnt know what to say when we ended up in front of this musical healer. Fortunately , he was so kind and did all the talking.
Wow! I love everyone's comments on this! It truly warms my heart to know that all of you love this as much as I do. And thank you to the Babys. You really did it. I was sixteen in 79, and I loved it the first time I heard it on the radio. . I love it even more today. So sweet, so cool.
Same here. I was born in '68, so i was pretty young then, but i clearly remember most of the things we did then. I even have a memory when i was only about 8 years old that took place at a bar/supper club. Some lady played the song "MAMA MIA" by ABBA constantly throughout the evening. I'm guessing i heard it 12 to 17 times that evening. I also had the hots for a waitress there who was 3 times my age.
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends..?
Man,this such a great vocal performance. Even when people think of "Missing You" which is such an iconic song.This is truly his greatest,in my opinion.
I just lost my beautiful wife of 33yrs , she went so fast being on Hospice, she died New Years Eve ,12/31/2023 , early new years she started locking her body up , she couldnt move , her head was turned , the iris in he eyes had turned black and were asking for help and i couldnt help her 😢
I know that you miss her terribly. You will see her again. For you, the time will seem like an eternity. When she sees you ….to her, it will be like you were never apart. 🥰I lost my only son in 2010. He was very young. Our reverend told me that, and it’s always brought me comfort. Just knowing that we are the only ones that really suffer the sadness🙏to our loved ones they only miss us for seconds
I have unfortunately been with two loved ones at the moment you mention. In many ways, it’s the worst thing ever, but I have come to think of it as a blessing. It was painful for me, but I was there for a person who needed me.
@@ric441I find it funny he is at the bottom of the bill. If I go to the show it is too see him. Foreigner is a cover band and saw them on the head games tour, so I don’t care about them. Styx I have never seen and it will be more of a novelty to see them.
We were spoiled by more then music .. just fun times always with friends cruising .. dancing Saturday nights at the clubs … just great friends .. mostly everyone got along … concerts
When people talk about nostalgic songs of the 1970's, This song is never mentioned. When i LOOK BACK IN THE 1970'S and think What possible 10 songs remind me of the soundtrack of my life. This song is part of that sound track and probably many other people's sound track as well but You never hear that mentioned. Very underated but a classic anthem song.. Over 6 Million hits and you never hear anyone talk about this song. anyone agree?
I'm 57. The Babys were not one of my favorite groups, but this song was one of my faves. Over the years I have thought of this song here and there. Since I spend all my time thinking of my new GF, i deemed it apropos to send her a link to this video!
@@shanewilson199 Oh hell yeah, Shane! I totally forgot that was by the Babys, and the song title didn't register.

I’m 68 yrs old now & I miss the 70’s more than any other decade. What I’d give to be able to turn back time. I’d be gone in a heartbeat!

It’s snowing non-stop ... -1 degree this 15th February 2021. Laying under the covers together...still. Decades later. Celebrating, Unflinching love has been our greatest tribute to each other. Spending everyday today since 1995. Remember the winter of 1994? That was our season. We made the decision to build a legacy partnership, not just a marriage. The best is yet to come. God Speed People.
Who ever got to grow up during the 70's are truly blessed...it will never be the same innocence and simplicity the Era would effect our lives..will never be the same..😢
Anyone who grew up in this era of music has been blessed by some of the greatest music ever. This song always gives me goosebumps of a love I let slip from my life. But thank God for the memories and his ability to give all these artists with their gift.
Makes me feel young on the inside, when I hear these songs. At 60 years old now, I appreciate true musicianship like this. ♪ ♫ Live musicians are undervalued anymore, just plug in the computer and GO ! Give me memories, not data.
Nearly 74 yo now. Wonder where the years go but have lived, loved and laughed my way thru every one of them. Man what a life. And music like this featured through all of it. Greetings from beautiful Burleigh Heads, jewel of the Gold Coast, Qld., Australia. Come see us over here.
I was pretty excited to see them when they opened for Journey in the 70's/80's. My boyfriend had no idea who they were, but this was one of my favorite songs back then. Still makes my heart ache.
@@CactusGal technically it may have been 30 years between the two shows. But I’ve seen videos recently. And he sounds the same as he did back in 1980 which would’ve been 43 years ago.
There was plenty of profanity in 80's music. You just didn't hear it on the car radio. And, it was in better taste. Van Halen, "Ain't Talkin Bout Love" "Got no time to fuck around"!
IGGY Ignas Feel bad for Parents buying $100.00 dollar tickets for there 13-14 to see a concert. Why is Miley Cyrus still singing I just saw her networth is $ 400.00 million dollars
I too was a product of that generation. Came from a musical family and spent much of my life in one band or another. We had the best music in the '60's, '70's & the '80's. Glad I grew up in that time. ❤️☮️🎵
Yes sir i wouldn't want to grow up today. No way all the violence of shootings murders caused by lowlife narcissistic evil people in this world. I wouldn't raise a child today if they gave me a million dollars.
So true. Makes me think of being 11 again & having most of my life ahead of me! There were some truly phenomenal songs in that decade as there were in the 90's.
Wow. 79 at 11, I would listen to all the top 40 hits every night after school. Have been since the early 70s. And this song surely sticks out for most definitely one of the greatest in it's day. I am so thankful to have been raised in an era with true musicians and song writters. The so called music of today has NOTHING on stuff like this.
@@keithbiggs440 the blonde woman is not singing on this recording. This is the studio recording with Myrna Matthews (and two other “Babette’s”) overlaid with live video

Happy New Year I honestly love your posts and always enjoy reading them in my lonely spare time. I'm so sorry I invaded your privacy, but I'd love to be friends with someone who could share such sensitive post content, which means you're a woman of integrity. I wanted to add you but sending you a friend request without your consent is inappropriate because I'm a public figure and it wouldn't take much either, I'd appreciate it if you send me a friend request now so we can be friends and text better here on CZcams🌷❤️🌷
I'm 28 years old. Older music is something you need to grow up on to fully appreciate. I don't blame the younger folks thumbs downing this, they were most likely in the generation of 98 degrees and Brittany Spears. I personally enjoy music like this.
Heather Fletcher , I lived it. I remember hearing this on the radio that year. Every song brings back memories of what I was doing, where I was and who was with me at the time. I was 15 when this song came out on the radio and I loved it.
What a song! Chordally, it is so sophisticated, and the vocals sit on the top like a velvet glove. I had heard of the Babys, I knew John Waite from his solo efforts in the 1980s, but I had never heard a song from his first band. What a revelation!
I met him once. Journey/ Babies concert. Backstage.Late 70’s in Detroit. He sketched me a picture of himself on a napkin! Lol. Thought that was so cool! Ahh the easy life!

Beautiful. I can smell the chlorine from the swimming pool when I hear this song. Miss all that fun from the 1970s. Now I gotta go to Dairy Queen for a cherry coke!
And our moms making us come out of the pool to eat.....Oh, i'd give it all up to go relive just one of those Saturday afternoons! I miss my little brother SO much, and it hasn't even been a year. I miss you, Scottie. Starting to cry again. You were a good boy.
@@brianperry4713 Thanks for the words, Brian. Sincere, kind words of sympathy (hopefully not empathy, though) help ease the pain quite a bit - more than you can imagine. I just miss Scottie so much. He had such a difficult life, and he just kept on going. Spend as MUCH time with your siblings as possible. Then go spend a little MORE time with them. Even just sitting around, watching TV, eating a snack. Anything. I cannot imagine ANYTHING worth more than that. PLEASE go see your siblings as soon as you can. I would give everything up, just to have some more time with my little brother. Losing a sibling is the family loss that is most often overlooked. This type of loss is one of the most painful there is. Your sibling is your partner for your entire lives. Until they are no longer with us.
+Mary , I was born in 53, grew up on 60's and 70's music so I know, the music was SO much better than today's &%$#...it started to go to pot in the 90's with rap, hip hop and all that crap...starting in 89 I listened only to oldies on the radio...today I still only listen to the oldies stations on my Sirius satellite radio...I loved this song then and still do
Mary Had a teacher in High School that got Allman Brothers to play at our School. Get this it was a Catholic School. I like some 70s bands are still playing ZZ Top just played at our county fair
Yesterday's music has always been my therapy. Well written and sung by extremely talented artists. They seemed to know what we were going through when the songs came out. For that I THANK them for keeping me sane.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day.. Stay Safe!
This is real music, legitimate music, not smothered and technology machines and computers, for some crazy reason I thought about the song the other day and it brought back such great memories growing up in the 70s and 80s (I was born in 65), the music got me through as well, it’s the music I want to remember, I’ve got the 70s programmed on XM radio, an era that if you have forgotten but will stick with the majority. I want songs like this played at my funeral after party
+ChanoineStraub I tell ya, I REALLY want to meet some of Illuminati dudes cause their ass seems to be responsible for everything from the decline of 70s music all the way to global warming. They gotta be some seriously busy mofos !

Very well said! Thanks for saying it.

You 2❤
I'm a 59 year old man and still remember the way the way that song made me feel about my girl. Still does!
I'm 73 and this song still hits me hard ...
It’s snowing non-stop ... -1 degree this 15th February 2021. Laying under the covers together...still.
Decades later.
Celebrating, Unflinching love has been our greatest tribute to each other.
Spending everyday today since 1995. Remember the winter of 1994?
That was our season. We made the decision to build a legacy partnership, not just a marriage.
The best is yet to come. God Speed People.
Who ever got to grow up during the 70's are truly blessed...it will never be the same innocence and simplicity the Era would effect our lives..will never be the same..😢
Anyone who grew up in this era of music has been blessed by some of the greatest music ever. This song always gives me goosebumps of a love I let slip from my life. But thank God for the memories and his ability to give all these artists with their gift.
On the inside you still feel like a teenager, but when you look in the mirror you wonder who's looking back at you...
Ain't that the truth!
I laugh everytime i look, memories come pouring out.ill be 67 in dece.
Makes me feel young on the inside, when I hear these songs. At 60 years old now, I appreciate true musicianship like this. ♪ ♫ Live musicians are undervalued anymore, just plug in the computer and GO ! Give me memories, not data.
Just turned 56... ain't that the truth... what the hell!
Nearly 74 yo now. Wonder where the years go but have lived, loved and laughed my way thru every one of them. Man what a life. And music like this featured through all of it.
Greetings from beautiful Burleigh Heads, jewel of the Gold Coast, Qld., Australia. Come see us over here.
I was pretty excited to see them when they opened for Journey in the 70's/80's. My boyfriend had no idea who they were, but this was one of my favorite songs back then. Still makes my heart ache.
Same here. Saw them on that combo tour.
@@philrich6327 How can it have been 40+ years ago?! 😬🤯
@@CactusGal technically it may have been 30 years between the two shows. But I’ve seen videos recently. And he sounds the same as he did back in 1980 which would’ve been 43 years ago.
I turned 61 in early 2022. I am SO VERY GLAD I grew up with the music I grew up with...👍
Umm, the backup singer here - WOW! What pipes! Beautiful.
80's music, no profanity, songs with meaning, and you could understand every word...
And the videos were something you could "actually" watch!
with u
There was plenty of profanity in 80's music. You just didn't hear it on the car radio. And, it was in better taste. Van Halen, "Ain't Talkin Bout Love" "Got no time to fuck around"!
Okay but it was 79 :)
Yeah, about that understanding the lyrics...when did that become not important? That must have been one of those "lost" weekends for me
I was so blessed to be a teen in the seventies what great music we have nothing like that crap today
IGGY Ignas Feel bad for Parents buying $100.00 dollar tickets for there 13-14 to see a concert. Why is Miley Cyrus still singing I just saw her networth is $ 400.00 million dollars
Me too!
Just tell us how much you like THIS song instead of wasting space complaining about everything like cranky old people. Sheesh......
Me too! I was a teen in the 70's! Greatest time!
@@darrylmassey9887 why do you care?
Yes!the 70s!!!life was simple and dreams came true!!❤
Heard this song this morning and it took me back to my teen years. GOD, I miss those times. I had to come her to hear it again
Time goes by to quickly... I want to go back!
You are absolutely right. This takes me back to good times
Me too...
Me too mate
@Spider Monkey can I go with you !
Well...Lets go back ..Jack ..Do it again, wheels turning round and round
Criminally underrated, and underplayed band..
Not in 1980. I own it. They got plenty air time on the local FM, Q102 Texas Best Rock. In 1980.
@@hankarmstrong3681 yay for you!
@@hankarmstrong3681 by chance were you from El Paso? I lived in White Sands New Mexico.. picked up the Q... all the time in 1980..
His voice is fabulous… love this!!🥰
Absolutely beautiful, I’m sure that some people out there would love to go back in time.
If you only knew.
To escape the current Dark Ages we’re living in? In less than a heartbeat.
Well you let me know when you're going and I'll join you. :)
One of the best songs ever. 70s & 80s were the absolute best years.
Ikr. I grew up in those years. I wanna go back. The late 90s and 2000s have sucked for me. And now I'm old 😞
I was young , when I listening to John Waite songs from my family Radio 📻 💕 & I'm getting old = That is part of growing up [That's Life ]🌹❤️
I too was a product of that generation. Came from a musical family and spent much of my life in one band or another. We had the best music in the '60's, '70's & the '80's. Glad I grew up in that time. ❤️☮️🎵
I'm glad you did too!
Absolutely
Yes sir i wouldn't want to grow up today. No way all the violence of shootings murders caused by lowlife narcissistic evil people in this world. I wouldn't raise a child today if they gave me a million dollars.
Me too!!
Shannon French I blame PARTIDGE FAMILY TV SHOW MUSIC turning me into a Rock N Roll Freak, Maybe cause Im a PICES born to like Music
That is a gem of a song by John Waite and The Babys I haven't heard in years. Great to be reconnected to such a great decade in music.
Time has slipped away too fast. It will never ever be like it was,makes me sad.
Thank God some of us got grow up on stuff like this...awesome.
So true. Makes me think of being 11 again & having most of my life ahead of me! There were some truly phenomenal songs in that decade as there were in the 90's.
Exactly! We had the real music.
A Beautiful time
I may have been born in 1996 but I listen to all the old greats!
'nothing, to add but...Amen.
Wow. 79 at 11, I would listen to all the top 40 hits every night after school. Have been since the early 70s. And this song surely sticks out for most definitely one of the greatest in it's day. I am so thankful to have been raised in an era with true musicians and song writters. The so called music of today has NOTHING on stuff like this.
I had forgotten just how amazing John Waite's voice was!
Excellent song. And that blonde backup singer is great too. Love this era.
The blonde is a big part of why this song is so good.
That would be the 1970s
@@keithbiggs440 the blonde woman is not singing on this recording. This is the studio recording with Myrna Matthews (and two other “Babette’s”) overlaid with live video
@@georgemajors1 Ok, Thank you for the Info.
This video takes Me back to the late 1970's hanging out at Spencer Gifts at the Mall... black light posters and incense... holy shit.
some dude I Always Went To Spencer's But Got Kicked Out Cause At The Time They Said I Was To Young !!!😁😁😁👍
ah, spencer's. In my mall back in Mass in the 70s. Always liked going in there in my teens
Omg, yeah, I remember, the mall used to be the place to go hang out. Loved this band. Also, remember Shooting Star and Rainbow, anyone?
Me to...
golden ring?
Those of us privileged enough to grow up in the 60's &,70's were indeed very lucky. What great tunes.
Love the 60s and 70s. I'd go back and stay
My kids say I'm already living there, and they are embarrassed.
At least my pants stay up.
Was lucky enough to grow then also and I totally agree.
We...myself 63, my husband 69, my friend 61 and her husband 71 often sit together on a Sunday and we listen to this songs from the 60, 70 and 80ties. So we are back to our youth and lovely memories 🥰💃🏼
Isn't it wonderful!
How lucky we were to be raised in the time of the best music ever!!!🎉
I thank God for dropping me off in the 50's 😉
Love & Peace
From Oregon
John Waite!! What a voice 🎶🎶🎶
Happy New Year I honestly love your posts and always enjoy reading them in my lonely spare time. I'm so sorry I invaded your privacy, but I'd love to be friends with someone who could share such sensitive post content, which means you're a woman of integrity. I wanted to add you but sending you a friend request without your consent is inappropriate because I'm a public figure and it wouldn't take much either, I'd appreciate it if you send me a friend request now so we can be friends and text better here on CZcams🌷❤️🌷
I'm 28 years old. Older music is something you need to grow up on to fully appreciate. I don't blame the younger folks thumbs downing this, they were most likely in the generation of 98 degrees and Brittany Spears. I personally enjoy music like this.
True Heather. Its unfortunate some younger people don't have that appreciation. Thanks for letting us know, you enjoy it.
You have an ancient heart and that is a good thing.
My teenage nephew & niece love his song "Missing You" and are statring to discover the musical gems of the 1970s & 80s
Heather Fletcher , I lived it. I remember hearing this on the radio that year. Every song brings back memories of what I was doing, where I was and who was with me at the time. I was 15 when this song came out on the radio and I loved it.
You tell them
What a time in life. I was 17 and in love. Married her in '82. Still madly in love with her 40 years later.
What an awesome back up girls powerhouses!!!
I’ve always loved this song. Still stands up today!
One of the most under rated bands to ever take the stage. To this very day.
Probably would have helped if they hadn't called themselves "The Babys".
Still listening ❤2023
Ditto and in 2024
These songs and his voice kept me alive growing up in grade school…something beautiful in s life of ugly, twisted sadness.
John Waite came to Louisville on a triple bill rock show and was the highlight of the evening. He blew away the headliner with a pick-up band!
What a voice!!!!
The 70s where something else. The 80s where fantastic. Every thing after that sucked. I feel privileged that I went through both!!!
Magnificent…….such an underrated song, the backup singers add so much……😃
What a song! Chordally, it is so sophisticated, and the vocals sit on the top like a velvet glove. I had heard of the Babys, I knew John Waite from his solo efforts in the 1980s, but I had never heard a song from his first band. What a revelation!
This is from 1978 The 70s baby
I agree. There is so much to this song. All of it top drawer, first class all the way.
The key changes are masterful.
Certain songs transcend all generations. This is one of those songs. Timeless classic. Great memories growing up in 70's
Yes I am 21 enjoying the song
Absolutely right there.
The back up singer's are what make this song, remarkable. Deep soulful, amazing...
This and the back up singers for Joe Cockers, little help from a friend always gets me
Oh Yes!
The lady's are powerful. Takes the song to a whole new level. And those pants!!! 😍😛😛
Note that the singers shown here are not the ones whose voices you hear.
The 70's made amazing music 🎉
just saw him live last night...he still looks and sounds great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoying it in the middle of COVID 19 Pandemic of 2020...back when things MADE SENSE!!! And music was GREAT!
Ahhh me too!!! Im feasting on the classics while Im stuck inside
One of my favorite songs of all time! Loved it since it first was released in ‘78 or ‘79
Dec 1978
Marvelous..Ruud, was 21 then ,now 65 in a blink of time...
Ruud from the Netherlands ❤
One of the best pop songs every written and performed!
This is one of my dad's favorite songs and mine too. He taught me to listen to good music ❤
Your dad has a very good taste
Ruud 🎉from the Netherlands
The backup singer rocked this one
I’m 16 again...with the love of my life...he passed away at the age of 27. I’m right back there...thank you 💗
Just Brilliant 👍
I met him once. Journey/ Babies concert. Backstage.Late 70’s in Detroit. He sketched me a picture of himself on a napkin! Lol. Thought that was so cool! Ahh the easy life!
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends..)
This song truly stands the test of time...stops me in my tracks everytime it plays. So glad I grew up in this era...we had fabulous music!
Thanks to the uploader for the fine audio quality reproduction
I'm 67 and it never gets old listening to this. The year I got married
Back when a love song was actually good music!
53 years old and I still remember the time and place when I first heard this music
Same here Mark!
YOU were 10 yrs old?
Amen Bro.
Me too! ✌
Same! I was five!
Still listening in 2024! Rock on class of '79!
The spring of 1979. A mighty fine time it was.
It sure was
John Waite knocks it outta the park !!!
You said it baby he certainly knocked outta the park
Beautiful. I can smell the chlorine from the swimming pool when I hear this song. Miss all that fun from the 1970s. Now I gotta go to Dairy Queen for a cherry coke!
And our moms making us come out of the pool to eat.....Oh, i'd give it all up to go relive just one of those Saturday afternoons! I miss my little brother SO much, and it hasn't even been a year. I miss you, Scottie. Starting to cry again. You were a good boy.
@@nittmo40 Sorry for your loss. May he RIP. 😢
Thank you so much. That truly means a lot.
@nittmo40. I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one , especially a sibling is extremely painful.
@@brianperry4713 Thanks for the words, Brian. Sincere, kind words of sympathy (hopefully not empathy, though) help ease the pain quite a bit - more than you can imagine. I just miss Scottie so much. He had such a difficult life, and he just kept on going.
Spend as MUCH time with your siblings as possible. Then go spend a little MORE time with them. Even just sitting around, watching TV, eating a snack. Anything. I cannot imagine ANYTHING worth more than that. PLEASE go see your siblings as soon as you can. I would give everything up, just to have some more time with my little brother.
Losing a sibling is the family loss that is most often overlooked. This type of loss is one of the most painful there is. Your sibling is your partner for your entire lives. Until they are no longer with us.
This was our song at our marriage. I'm crying listening because it didn't last. Better to have loved and lost.
I still play this greatest hits from this criminally underrated band. How they never made it big in America I'll never understand
I,for one, am glad that I grew up on this type of music. The 70s and 80s music is classic, much better than the music today.
And the 60's
+Mary , I was born in 53, grew up on 60's and 70's music so I know, the music was SO much better than today's &%$#...it started to go to pot in the 90's with rap, hip hop and all that crap...starting in 89 I listened only to oldies on the radio...today I still only listen to the oldies stations on my Sirius satellite radio...I loved this song then and still do
Mary Had a teacher in High School that got Allman Brothers to play at our School. Get this it was a Catholic School. I like some 70s bands are still playing ZZ Top just played at our county fair
Today's music? Does such a thing exist?
Yesterday's music has always been my therapy. Well written and sung by extremely talented artists. They seemed to know what we were going through when the songs came out. For that I THANK them for keeping me sane.
Brings you right back to the late 70s. TOUCHING.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day.. Stay Safe!
I'm kind of a sap. " Isn't it time " was the first Babys song I heard, while still in high school , and I've been a fan since. I have all their vinyl.
Some think they are a one hit wonder. Not true at all! In fact, I think they had at least 3 albums together! Great stuff!
Pure brilliance! Still 2020
I agree 🤗
This is real music, legitimate music, not smothered and technology machines and computers, for some crazy reason I thought about the song the other day and it brought back such great memories growing up in the 70s and 80s (I was born in 65), the music got me through as well, it’s the music I want to remember, I’ve got the 70s programmed on XM radio, an era that if you have forgotten but will stick with the majority. I want songs like this played at my funeral after party
Timeless song ❤
Awesome music. I miss these days soooo much. The best music ever.
Agreed!
jtsurf Me too ... Miss them . Simple time and good music ..
Tina A Stoffel you got that right - it lasts & lasts
+ChanoineStraub I tell ya, I REALLY want to meet some of Illuminati dudes cause their ass seems to be responsible for everything from the decline of 70s music all the way to global warming. They gotta be some seriously busy mofos !
