      Раньше пели душой а музыку писали сердцем. Новое поколение это утратило поэтому и нет таких песен и музыки. Когда в песню вложена частица души и жизни исполнителя тогда и песня живёт века и больше. Но это очень очень сложно вкладывать и отдавать частицу жизни песне и музыке. Поэтому современные песни не звучат а музыка мертвая вот в чём весь секрет старых песен вниз вложена душа и сердце. Может новое поколение это поймет хотя наверное нет не сможет не все хотят отдать часть жизни души песне

    For the past 39 years I've always mentally pictured the singer of this song (which I didn't mind as a kid) being some clean cut guy with blow wave hair, sweatband on head and dancing around in lycra - that would've been in sync with the Flashdance movie. Instead I find out a "Beary looking" dude sang this? lol.

    The late John Gilston is credited with the Simmons programming for this track (played by Carlos Vega on the album?) so Gordon did a good job on the playback. Good to see no cymbals, who needs them when you have an SDS V...
