I saw them open for a superstar act at Madison Square Garden when they had this fantastic hit. I remember really looking forward to seeing it played live. Can you ask your father if it was Rod Stewart? (see update below. I think it was actually Hall & Oates). I love reading comments when members of the family of the artist are posting. Any musician that manages to be in a band that has a Top 20 hit has to be talented. You should be very proud of your dad. This song should have gone top 10 easily. I thought it would go to #1. I constantly played it on my Walkman when going to work I still have it in my mp3 player from time to time. If I remember, Budweiser used the song for a national ad campaign.
Oh hooray for you man! I'm Instagram buddies with a daughter of the guitarist. Where is that pretty mansion? Let me guess Los Angeles. The band must have had a great time changing costumes. Great sense of humor
Rick Jacobs the lead singer of this band, passed away this past 1/17/2018. I went to Downers Grove South High School with him, although he was a year older and hung out with my sister and her friends, I remember him as a very talented guy and great fun to be around. This video was one of the first on MTV and he will always be remembered for it. Rest in peace Rick, you will be missed.
We used to see them at The Oasis Ballroom in Sacramento back in the 80's back when they made this video, might have seen them at other places too. John Sheehan of Ian Shelter lived close to me and went to my high school, I have not talked to him for years, I guess he is up in Auburn nowadays, I keep trying find their song "Give Me A Reason" and no luck, all I find is "Prior Park".
I had no idea he passed away. It's nice to think of how many people he entertained, especially this song. In the early 90's I was driving back from Ohio and had the radio on an 80's station when this song came on. I hadn't heard it since it dropped off the Top 40. I was so excited to hear it!
B. Smith This song and what do all the people know by the monroes R2 little known songs that should be much more well known. Or come to think of it I’m happy that they are under rated jams which more sensitive music types like you and I are aware of
my friend, you already have a time machine. your CD, your vinyl, tape, mp3, youtube....that is a time machine. not the full deal, but a link to the past
Damn Right Brother!!! The Good Old Days!!! I was 13 years old. Not all this crap we're listening to or dealing with now! Sorry...It'll never be great again like is was back then!!! People don't realize that! Gen X for the world!!!
OMG, I went to their concert and we actually partied with the band before the concert. I still have my concert ticket, a dollar bill they signed and a picture in a frame. Dang I am getting old....
Haha . Yeah .. I Know the Feeling ! .. '82 .. what a Great Year in Music ! .. Too Bad Steel Breeze went Nowhere .. They were actually Pretty Good ! :) .. I've Still got the Record .. One hit Wonder !! :)
Don't apologize for getting old. At least you're able to say you remember when really talented people played their own instruments in live concerts. And you're still cute. ;)
Tanya Ivie I have teenage memories of this song when I found it on a used K-Tel tape in 2002 (nowhere near as cool as yours lol), and it scares me how long ago even that is now! I guess the upside to these dudes not being major stars is it was easier to meet them.
We were just talking about this band. Jick Jacobs's dad. Bob Jacobs was a friend and boss to my husband and I at Nystrom. He is an icon in the education business and was SO PROUD of his son Rick. Hope he knew so!
My grandparents literally ditched my parents & I at a state (county?) fair in California so they could see a Steel Breeze concert. We were living overseas at the time & hadn't seen them for about 4 years. In other words, my grandma story is better than your grandma story. :p
griffinmatter bless our sweet grandmothers hearts. Mine was so gracious in buying me my first 45’s....Billy Joel’s “It’s Still Rock n Roll To Me” and Paul McCartney’s “Coming Up”. This STEEL BREEZE song really brings back memories, man! It wasn’t too popular here in Hawaii. But I’ve learned over the years that I have better taste in music than most here. Lol. Jk
I saw this band perform in 1982 at The Cotton Bowl in Dallas when they opened for The Who on their 1st "Final Tour". Billy Squire was the other opening act. I can honestly tell you that it was one of the best concert experiences that I've ever had. Steel Breeze was simply awesome! Rock & Roll never dies!!
Is that why being a Sacramento band they were asked to play the theme song for the 1986 movie Witchboard with Bump In The Night? They are an awesome band!!!
After 30 years, suddenly this song popped into my mind.....so, grateful to CZcams and the person who uploaded this song. Although this song is the only one I know from the band.....it's a powerful one to reach across time and touch me decades later, Ravi Peiris M.D.
I heard this the first time on American Bandstand with Dick Clark. I ran out the same day and bought the album. I was spinning tunes in the clubs at the time. I played the hell out of this track in the clubs. Loved this song then, and still do. Great tune.
Somehow, I have a thing for remembering obscure its from the early 1980s, despite the fact that I was a grade school student at the time. Then again, my parents did often play WLS on the radio, which was a Chicago station that featured an eclectic mix of popular tunes...
Throughout the 80's I collected obscure music that, for some reason, rarely ever played on the radio (if ever). Keel - "I said the wrong thing to the right girl", Orion the Hunter - "So You Ran", The Rubinoos - "If I Had You Back", Danny Spanos - "Hot Cherie", Blue Oyster Cult - "Dancin in the Ruins", Deep Purple - "Knockin at your Back Door", Rainbow - "Since you been Gone", Michael Stanley Band - "My Town" and lots more that I can't remember off the top of my head. I'm not saying they never played on the radio. But I never heard them on the radio then, and certainly not now. Classic Rock stations play the same 100 songs over and over and over.
1982, I was a junior in high school at Sacramento High School and this song was huge on Sacramento radio, KZAP 98.5 fm. Until now, I had totally forgot about this Sac Town Classic. This song can bring back a lot of forgotten memories.
Whoa, I was raised in Sac during the 90s but didn't know of this song yet (not until the early 2000s). Knowing the band were from my hometown makes me feel more connected to it though.
Lead singer Rick Jacobs passed coming up on three years ago. I went high school with him, Downers Grove South....I remember going to Rocky Glen, a forest preserve near Aregon labs. He had his guitar, and was playing while we were partying. I asked him if he could play Jumping jack flash, which he immediately started to play. He just had that musical talent we all admire. I have to watch this video every so often, because he just was too young to leave. Amazing person. Deepest sympathies to his family still.
@pontiacguy28 I know your post is 5 years old, but I just heard this song for the first time in a very long time on the very same channel yesterday. Great tune.
Ha! I saw Kansas in 1979 (at Clemson University), and they were preceded by "Sniff'n the Tears" - a one-hit wonder who wrote "Driver's Seat" (remember it?) They were just *awful* - probably the single-worst act I've ever seen that was supposed to be a real act. They were actually booed by the Clemson audience (not the most sophisticated consumers of music in the world).
Wow, with Kansas. They almost seem like opposites. Seems Steel Breeze was more in the SPYS “Don’t Run My Life” genre. I remember going to see Bad Company and Kansas opened for them. That was a great concert. Bad Co. was good but Kansas blew them away !!!
I was 13 years old when this song came out and it was one of my favorite songs for that year in the 80's. I had a 12 inch compilation record from K-TEL Records and bought the vinyl just for this song back then. AWESOME SONG!!!!!!!!!!! PERIOD
Used to really like this song in the 80's but haven't heard it in years. The other day, for some reason, it popped into my head, and I had to look it up.
It's really interesting to read these comments. This is one of my favorite songs and videos. I have to listen to it at least once a month. I still have the 45 record single. Ironic that I live in Chicago are and never knew they were from here.
Forgot all about this great tune until I heard it on the radio today. Had to quickly write down the name and artist (glad the DJ said Steel Breeze) or I may have not known. If I had not moved down to Florida recently I may have never heard this song again for back home their wasn't many radio stations to choose from like here. BACK WHEN MUSIC WAS GREAT!
Had Steel Breeze at THE LOST C Night Club in Versailles, Ohio when (You don't Want Me Anymore) came out. They put on one hell of a show. Always wanted to have them back. But never was able to get them booked.
Basically if up grew up in Nor. Cal in the 70s early 80s All we really Had Before Steal Breeze was Bands from SanFran or Moriss Taylor!! This was even Pre-Tesla (1986) Night Ranger from San Fran or formed in San Fran. Steel Breeze put Nor-cal on the map . Since most Towns and City's in Nor-Cal didn't have Cable TV yet even in earlier 80s so no MTV for us LOL. We lived on the Radio. And Nor-Cal radio station played Steel Breeze. They all did . I believe even the Country stations were playing Steel Breeze just because they were formed in Sacramento . Thanks for good times and memories.
#16 on the Hot 100....and #100 for the year. Not bad. The guitar solo is excellent. All the one-hit wonders got to write a page in rock's history. Or a paragraph anyway.
Hung with Rick at a thrift shop in San Mateo. Had some shoes there and when a pair sold we could get some beer. One day he disappears and Steve says he left to go to Sacramento to be in a band. I almost bleeped when I saw him on Merv Griffin. Soon after Rick is a big rock star and we go to see him and hang out. The funny part is I owed him $40 for a tape deck. He was on MTV and he would call my house to collect. I said your a big star and he said he only got a small per diem a day. I paid him but it still makes me laugh today at 66 years old RIP (Rock in Peace) Rick
love this song out of sacramento back in the day .....written for his girl friend (who worked at APA off of cottage) and when she found out the song was for her she took him back!! rip Rick!
I remembered the name of this band, and I remembered the story about how someone listened to a box of demo tapes that was about to be discarded and found only one worthwhile song, but I totally forgot what the song sounded like. Well, now I remember, thank you CZcams.
Just found out the frontman Rick Jacobs died in 2018. Reading his obituary it's even sadder how the 80s are so long ago that he was presented as a regular dude who used to be in a band when he was young, as just a passing footnote of his life. I'm one of the youngest 80s kids (born '85) but that makes me feel super old.
Crazy! I remember this video perfectly - especially the mustache swapping to the different guys in the band and the guitar solo - but I have no memory of the actual song.
I have a pretty respectable music collection and I listen to music many hours of the day. It should count for something when I tell you that I have not heard this song since it was big. It's been decades since I even thought about this band.
I had just moved from England, married into the U.S.A.F. We were stationed at Tyndall A.F.B. I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it on the radio...so many good memories connected to this ....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I grew up in Yuba City/Marysville California and one of my high school friends was Richard Pantaleoni, Vinnie's cousin or brother, can't remember which now, in Yuba City and we went to Wilson HS together 1978-82. Richard and I both lived way out in the country and rode the bus together. Wayne is from Marysville. We were so proud of you guys back then, thanks for the memories
Usted ya no me desea mas ? "You Do not Want Me Anymore" es el título de una canción de 1982 Acero Breeze de su álbum debut homónimo. La canción fue lanzada como single en los Estados Unidos y lo hizo al número 16 en el Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, con la ayuda de un video memorable que fue un éxito en principios de MTV . También fue el último single carta jamás producido por Kim Fowley .
Their #16 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 from late 1982. I remember on "Solid Gold" where the lead dancer Darcel did a number of great moves including spinning on the floor when it was on the top 10 countdown!
my best bro at the time was a nephew of Uncle Cal, who knew Waylin C. and the band. One mid-80's party night in Sacto, Waylin whipped out his guitar in the living room just jamming casually but i was 19 or so & never seen a guy play like that up close before it was amazing. They played a gig in the middle of the day at my HS gym in '79 or '80.
Ahh man- I remember this - it was my 8th grade year. This was my theme song, I had an "Ocean Pacific" shirt and pierced my left ear thought it was SO COOOOOL!!
@@dampergoldenrod4156 I think it was on MTV at the time but not in any heavy rotation. I first heard it / them when they played at The Cellar in Fayetteville, NC
Steel Breeze made a brief appearance at the El Dorado Saloon in Carmichael, California the night that they signed with (I think) RCA records and they preformed this song. It must have been getting some pretty good air time in Sacramento because there wasn’t one person that didn’t already know the song. They were great and sooo easy on the eyes. As my mother used to say...”They can park their shoes underneath my bed anytime!”
Finally! The complete video! Every other upload of this song on CZcams has the intro snipped off, and I don't think I ever saw the end of the video, either. I think when MTV showed it, they faded out at the point where she hands the rose to the singer and he looks as he sings the chorus one more time. Always thought this was a cool song!
What a great song. Totally lost hit from the 80’s, they don’t make em like this anymore! The video is great and the girl was super hot. What more can you ask for?
My dad is the bassist. He’s the one with the lite afro. He’s still playing music today, at 64 years old. He’s VERY good at what he does.
Same here 64, remember these musicians way back 1987 Vallejo Cali "talk of the town " super club had a bbblast!!
They were very good, used to watch them live at Talk of the Town super club Vallejo cali way back 1987
I saw them open for a superstar act at Madison Square Garden when they had this fantastic hit. I remember really looking forward to seeing it played live. Can you ask your father if it was Rod Stewart? (see update below. I think it was actually Hall & Oates). I love reading comments when members of the family of the artist are posting.

I probably saw your dad and rick at the O in Sacramento that was the bond along with city kid old school
Id like to meet your dad being a old school fan of steel breeze
I Was the camera operator on this , took 2 days and had a blast.
Oh hooray for you man! I'm Instagram buddies with a daughter of the guitarist. Where is that pretty mansion? Let me guess Los Angeles. The band must have had a great time changing costumes. Great sense of humor
Who is the girl in the video? Very good looking.
Cool

Bruce Walter these wonderfully talented people leave such a hole in our lives when they leave us... God bless.
oh thats so sad to hear about he's passing no doubt this song has always been a favourite of mine and has many good memories from 1983 so rip rick

Bruce Walter my dad passed away the same day and year due to Alzheimer's, 😢
AHHHH THE 80'S! This song should be played more!
B. Smith This song and what do all the people know by the monroes R2 little known songs that should be much more well known. Or come to think of it I’m happy that they are under rated jams which more sensitive music types like you and I are aware of
These guys and the monroes should have toured together. And then I would build a time machine and go back in time and have the night of my life
Yeah 😥
Yeas indeed!! 🙃
This is a great song that not too many people remember. It was super catchy!!!
I still have the cassette this song is on.
I have the vinyl & l still listen to & love the entire album.
Was this their only hit? Liked it a lot when it came out.
19 fricken 82! what a blast! give me a time machine i am going back!
oh yes 1982 the best times yeah a time machine
You ain't Lyin the 80s is the best of time
my friend, you already have a time machine. your CD, your vinyl, tape, mp3, youtube....that is a time machine. not the full deal, but a link to the past
Damn Right Brother!!! The Good Old Days!!! I was 13 years old. Not all this crap we're listening to or dealing with now! Sorry...It'll never be great again like is was back then!!! People don't realize that! Gen X for the world!!!
this song just randomly popped into my head tonight. So thankful that others love it too!
I was born in 1972, so I was really a kid, when it came out, but it stuck with me! I'm 50 now! Great song :)
I've loved this song from day one !
OMG, I went to their concert and we actually partied with the band before the concert. I still have my concert ticket, a dollar bill they signed and a picture in a frame. Dang I am getting old....
so you were a groupie! just like banger sisters!
Haha . Yeah .. I Know the Feeling ! .. '82 .. what a Great Year in Music ! .. Too Bad Steel Breeze went Nowhere .. They were actually Pretty Good ! :) ..
I've Still got the Record .. One hit Wonder !! :)
Don't apologize for getting old. At least you're able to say you remember when really talented people played their own instruments in live concerts. And you're still cute. ;)
Tanya Ivie I have teenage memories of this song when I found it on a used K-Tel tape in 2002 (nowhere near as cool as yours lol), and it scares me how long ago even that is now! I guess the upside to these dudes not being major stars is it was easier to meet them.
LOL, I saw them with Hall and Oats
RIP Rick Jacobs. You will be missed, my friend.
I remember when Kenny worked at Tower Records in Sacramento, dreaming about a recording contact. Sometimes wishes DO come true...
That lead break alone made several people want to play guitar.
Guilty.
😊
This was a go-to for air guitar.
I still am trying to figure out some of that solo 35 years later . I always loved that solo
This song hit the charts 40 years ago!
We were just talking about this band. Jick Jacobs's dad. Bob Jacobs was a friend and boss to my husband and I at Nystrom. He is an icon in the education business and was SO PROUD of his son Rick. Hope he knew so!
One of those obscure 80s hits but it's really catchy. Sounds like it would've been perfect in a teen movie
It's gonna happen 😊
they did the music for night of the demons 1988
I talked my grandma into buying this 45 for me one Saturday at the mall when I was a wee lad. Great memories of listening to it over and over. :)
My grandparents literally ditched my parents & I at a state (county?) fair in California so they could see a Steel Breeze concert. We were living overseas at the time & hadn't seen them for about 4 years.
In other words, my grandma story is better than your grandma story. :p
griffinmatter bless our sweet grandmothers hearts. Mine was so gracious in buying me my first 45’s....Billy Joel’s “It’s Still Rock n Roll To Me” and Paul McCartney’s “Coming Up”. This STEEL BREEZE song really brings back memories, man! It wasn’t too popular here in Hawaii. But I’ve learned over the years that I have better taste in music than most here. Lol. Jk
Still a killer guitar going through this early 80s gem
I saw this band perform in 1982 at The Cotton Bowl in Dallas when they opened for The Who on their 1st "Final Tour". Billy Squire was the other opening act. I can honestly tell you that it was one of the best concert experiences that I've ever had. Steel Breeze was simply awesome! Rock & Roll never dies!!
Sacramento had a lot of great bands come out in the 80s.
Is that why being a Sacramento band they were asked to play the theme song for the 1986 movie Witchboard with Bump In The Night? They are an awesome band!!!
Tesla lasted the longest!
Club Neveau is also from Sacramento.
Best rapper of all time too, Brotha Lynch Hung!
I remember going to Tower Records to buy this single. I played it a lot! It was really popular at parties.
Yo I don't care what anyone thinks, this was my JAM! I still love it!
right???
+B. Smith 👍👍
Amen
After 30 years, suddenly this song popped into my mind.....so, grateful to CZcams and the person who uploaded this song. Although this song is the only one I know from the band.....it's a powerful one to reach across time and touch me decades later,

I'm 52 years old and this song still pops into my head . Played this like ten times in a row last night upon finding this.
Live tonight at GSR in Reno NV!!
A quintessential 80s band playing a quintessential 80s tune in a quintessential 80s video. Love it!
Existence didn't deserve a song this good. Thanks for everything, fellas.
My husband saw the band open for Hall & Oats !
I had this album and saw them at the local fairgrounds stage
I heard this the first time on American Bandstand with Dick Clark. I ran out the same day and bought the album. I was spinning tunes in the clubs at the time. I played the hell out of this track in the clubs. Loved this song then, and still do. Great tune.
Amen Randy!
Saw 'em in San Jose - small venue. They rocked it. This song is great. They do a damn good cover of Hang on Sloopy too!
I LOVED this song in the early '80's and it still sounds great.
My late husband loved this band. Told me he even knew the members when they were just starting out in California. Darin C McDonald miss you dearly.

I'm not saying they never played on the radio. But I never heard them on the radio then, and certainly not now. Classic Rock stations play the same 100 songs over and over and over.
zendaddy621 WLS, WCKG,and the Loop. Grew up on that plus Steve and Garry! 80s were awesome!
Unabashedly 80's sounding pop-rock! Wonderful tune! It's a shame that Ric passed away not too long ago. RIP, Mr. Jacobs.

Where did Rick Jacobs grow up in central California
I just heard this song on the 80s channel on the XM. Hell yeah this is a good jam!
@pontiacguy28 I know your post is 5 years old, but I just heard this song for the first time in a very long time on the very same channel yesterday. Great tune.
I bought this single on 45, and still have it, an eighties classic in my eyes. Brings back my youth, well, I wish it did.
I saw these guys in 1982 live. They opened for Kansas at the Alladin in Las Vegas. They friggin rocked their set.
Ha! I saw Kansas in 1979 (at Clemson University), and they were preceded by "Sniff'n the Tears" - a one-hit wonder who wrote "Driver's Seat" (remember it?) They were just *awful* - probably the single-worst act I've ever seen that was supposed to be a real act.

The next break up you have, instead of ghosting just send them this
There is nothing to hate about this song.
I knew this song from seeing them perform it on Solid Gold. I saw the music video on MTV some years later. Still holds up after all these years.
I remember this song because of the Pink Floyd inspired name of the group. Extra credit for that.
My friend and I listened to this on a sony walkman on the school bus. I used to pretend to play the keyboard parts. So funny..we loved it..still do
This song, The group Saga, XTC, and a host of other bands and their music in the 80's . . . . They never have let me down.
Love this song it’s still rocks❤
I was in a group with Vinnie in Yuba city, the dude is a class act. And a decent human being.
I was 13 years old when this song came out and it was one of my favorite songs for that year in the 80's. I had a 12 inch compilation record from K-TEL Records and bought the vinyl just for this song back then. AWESOME SONG!!!!!!!!!!! PERIOD

Me threee
LOVE the 80's!!! Wish I could go back with what I know now.
#16 on the Hot 100....and #100 for the year. Not bad. The guitar solo is excellent. All the one-hit wonders got to write a page in rock's history. Or a paragraph anyway.
80" still the best of my life..
😎🙄😍😥☕🚬🇲🇾👍
never knew there was a music video for this song..my great nights in 1982/3 yeah

Hit the Top 40 on 8/28/82, Peaked at No. 16, 20 Weeks on the Chart!
Just found out the frontman Rick Jacobs died in 2018. Reading his obituary it's even sadder how the 80s are so long ago that he was presented as a regular dude who used to be in a band when he was young, as just a passing footnote of his life. I'm one of the youngest 80s kids (born '85) but that makes me feel super old.
Depressing to read all these people having good times. At one time are now deceased
One of my favorites from the 80's.
Great music from a great era ‼️‼️‼️
Crazy!
I remember this video perfectly - especially the mustache swapping to the different guys in the band and the guitar solo - but I have no memory of the actual song.
I have a pretty respectable music collection and I listen to music many hours of the day. It should count for something when I tell you that I have not heard this song since it was big. It's been decades since I even thought about this band.
I had just moved from England, married into the U.S.A.F. We were stationed at Tyndall A.F.B. I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it on the radio...so many good memories connected to this ....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great guitar solo
I heard this song and it brought back some memories .
A great lost 80's hit.I remember I bought the cassette version of the album, I wonder what became of it.
Played this cassette till it wore out and bought another one!
Great song! I used to have the LP before i sold most of them some years back.
I still have this on vinyl...
They were the opening act for Bob Seger in Cleveland. We met and hung out after the show.
How have I never heard of this song until today?
I grew up in Yuba City/Marysville California and one of my high school friends was Richard Pantaleoni, Vinnie's cousin or brother, can't remember which now, in Yuba City and we went to Wilson HS together 1978-82. Richard and I both lived way out in the country and rode the bus together. Wayne is from Marysville. We were so proud of you guys back then, thanks for the memories
Found it on cd years ago....helluva find!
Usted ya no me desea mas ? "You Do not Want Me Anymore" es el título de una canción de 1982 Acero Breeze de su álbum debut homónimo. La canción fue lanzada como single en los Estados Unidos y lo hizo al número 16 en el Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, con la ayuda de un video memorable que fue un éxito en principios de MTV . También fue el último single carta jamás producido por Kim Fowley .
Their #16 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 from late 1982. I remember on "Solid Gold" where the lead dancer Darcel did a number of great moves including spinning on the floor when it was on the top 10 countdown!
my best bro at the time was a nephew of Uncle Cal, who knew Waylin C. and the band. One mid-80's party night in Sacto, Waylin whipped out his guitar in the living room just jamming casually but i was 19 or so & never seen a guy play like that up close before it was amazing. They played a gig in the middle of the day at my HS gym in '79 or '80.
My friend dated W. Carpenter. I met him a few times. Nice talented guy
This is a personal favorite album.
Ahh man- I remember this - it was my 8th grade year. This was my theme song, I had an "Ocean Pacific" shirt and pierced my left ear thought it was SO COOOOOL!!
I played this song until the cassette tape broke. Still love it.
Was just watching an 80's commercial for a KTEL record and this song was in the record...I remember this song!...what a blast from the past!
I was in grade 7 in 1982 when this song came out, then highschool in 1983. Good ole memories from the 80s
1982 was an Awesome year! Love this song!!
Forty years later, and the maid at 2:29 is still living rent-free in my head.
RIP Rick Jacobs!
I loved the guitar riff of this song. They always reminded me of the Producers ("She Sheila") sound-wise.
She Sheila is a far better song but with the poor name and she Sheila barely got any radio play because I never remember hearing it
@@dampergoldenrod4156 I think it was on MTV at the time but not in any heavy rotation. I first heard it / them when they played at The Cellar in Fayetteville, NC
so many have passed.they will always live in music
I always liked the time travel in this video.
It totally takes me back. I don't remember the song on the radio, but for some reason I remember the video. That guitar solo is quite nice...
Steel Breeze made a brief appearance at the El Dorado Saloon in Carmichael, California the night that they signed with (I think) RCA records and they preformed this song. It must have been getting some pretty good air time in Sacramento because there wasn’t one person that didn’t already know the song. They were great and sooo easy on the eyes. As my mother used to say...”They can park their shoes underneath my bed anytime!”
Finally! The complete video! Every other upload of this song on CZcams has the intro snipped off, and I don't think I ever saw the end of the video, either. I think when MTV showed it, they faded out at the point where she hands the rose to the singer and he looks as he sings the chorus one more time. Always thought this was a cool song!
What a great song. Totally lost hit from the 80’s, they don’t make em like this anymore! The video is great and the girl was super hot. What more can you ask for?
Back in the 80s my band opened for Steel Breeze in Sarasota FL. at Playground South.. what a night..
I'm telling my kids this is Downton Abbey
Great music from better days!
Loved this one. Remember watching these guys on American Bandstand on Sat morning. Very catchy.
Thank you Kenny, for being my brothers Big Brother!🌸
