When I was six years old in 1981, my folks had this 45 and I used to play it over and over again rocking out to it. An absolute classic! RIP Eddie! Thank you for the memories...
Any chance you know how I could contact your mother's best friend? What may have been reprehensible conduct for your father simply represents another day at the office for me. @@KimberlyRedman-f1r
My mom passed away some years ago but when I was 5 years old, we used to really enjoy listening to Eddie Rabbitt songs and it really bring back some great memories with my mom❤
I miss him. I saw him in Branson on my 24th birthday, about 30 yrs ago. He was tall, so handsome, and his music fantastic. He left us much too young. If he were still alive, I have no doubt he would have been performing in Branson on a regular basis.
My kids r 23 and 20 years old. And I'm 48 years old. And this is music I grew up too so my kids listen to this music as it's today's music! 70's and 80's music was like no other u will hear today! I miss this beautiful times in country and rock n roll!
I just met a woman and asked her to listen to it. Lol. They don’t appreciate good music anymore. She responded with I like hip hop music. I’ll just keep looking I guess.
"Long ago and far away in my old common labor shoes I turned the world all which a way just because you asked me to", comes to mind listening to this one. Mr. Rabbitt iz a good un but I'm just a g d baboon. What do i know.
Love Eddie since I was 12. Didn’t really like this song back then. Just came on on auto play. I listened to it five times in a row. What a beautiful song. Rest easy Ed.
This song encapsulates my time growing up in the '70s....It touches my soul with a ghostly haunt whenever I hear it....What an Era....'70s and Rabbitt BEST!!!
My first concert was Dolly Parton at the Universal Amphitheatre in '78. Eddie Rabbitt opened for her. He was AMAZING! When he finished his set the audience was cheering for him to come back out. He did and played Every Which Way But Loose.(which was the same year the movie came out) I was 11 but to this day it's vividly memorable. Eddie Rabbitt was an awesome entertainer and human being.
I grew up listening to this song and it made me a man , better yet a gentleman . If you wanna live a good beautiful married life , follow these steps and you'll live a good life.
My husband and I were married for 38 yrs because of these lyrics. I fell in love with my husband when this played on radio, because he practiced all three steps.
I followed his instructions 41 years ago. I was successful getting the girl I wanted. She was my high school sweetheart. We’re still married. Eddie Rabbitt was always my favorite. He belongs in the hall of fame. What a talented man.
Happy for you. You were very fortunate to have been raised in an era when women actually appreciated decent men who made a genuine effort to court them. Nowadays, a female won't even look at a guy or give him the time of day unless he is at least six feet tall, handsome, rich, successful, well-connected, and has a full head of hair and a chiseled physique. Fortunately, more and more men everyday are discovering the goldmine of lovely women who are still waiting to be had overseas. Still, I feel particularly sorry for young men growing up in the West today.
Eddie Rabbit ruled the country and pop charts in the early 80s 👍 Great song . You don't get lyrics like this any more - " First step, ask her out and treat her like a lady " and " she looks too beautiful to touch " That's respect !
Loved his music, saw him do a live performance on TV one time blew a guitar string during rainy nights fixed it right on the spot never skipped a beat now thats cool. Miss you Eddie R.I.P
I used to play this often and find myself close to tears when I had to go overseas and be away from my gf for a year. It was agony but I survived and we wed a few years later. RIP, angel, it's agony once more but I pray we'll be reunited again one day. ❤🩹
Eddie Rabbit used to DJ on Los Angeles rock radio way back when. That's how multi talented he was. I grew up in LA and we got him all over the airwaves besides country music. My college English teacher here played his music in class.
I love this 1981 Eddie Rabbitt hit, which peaked @ #5 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart!!! Bravo, Edward Thomas Rabbitt!!! R.I.P., Eddie...you were a class act all the way!!!
This song summed it up for me when I first met my future wife. Was sitting in the cafeteria and said I needed to ask her out and take a chance. Never looked back. Step by Step.
That's awesome that the song successfully inspired you to meet your wife! Granted, you grew up in a *very* different time period. I honestly could not imagine any young person today achieving success by heeding the song's lyrics, unless of course he's over six feet tall with the physique of a Greek god, is super successful with a high six figure income, and well-connected socioeconomically.
@@pe2point0 Very true that this is a different time but the fundamentals are still there that if you treat a woman the way she deserves to be treated she will look beyond all the material things in this world and accept you for who you are.
My dad looked just like him in the 70's...i miss him. He passed away from 4th stage lung cancer in 2007, 3 weeks after his one and only grandchild was born....
When he sings, "She looks too beautiful to touch...", if you look at women that way and feel the feeling it evokes, and keep thinking and feeling this way, I guarantee you, you will have women, and most likely woman who are ultra attractive. When you think of women as precious and priceless, you will inevitably be with one. If you haven't had fortune with woman as you would like, this drop's for you.
Haha, if only that were true in today's screwed up society! Nowadays, any guy following this song's advice who is not at least six feet tall, with a chiseled jaw line, six pack abs, and making six figures a year will promptly get me-too'ed and canceled! 😂
@@pe2point0not necessarily, sir. this is very rarely true if you are looking for the right women. just put effort into your appearance, find what looks good on you, and be a quality person most importantly. if you do these things it's only a matter of time before you end up with a nice lady.
I Am 47 & when I was growing up I listened to the music my mom played & I love the older music,It’s the best.you can actually understand what they are singing & saying!
But your heart keeps talking to you....don't give up...you think you see something in her eye but you will never know until you try.....good song here...love it ...nice job!!
Remember my parents listening to this in the early 80s. My dad cherished my Mother! He left her too soon. He was only 52. 35 years ago now! Song still gets to me!
Yeah, it's just a pity that women never go for these type of men until after the women reach menopause and have several divorces and kids under their belt! 😂
I am so overcome with emotion when I hear this song, because I remember where I was. Walking through the dining room towards the living room, Mom was in the kitchen, Dad lounging on the veranda. They are no longer here. When I use to hear songs like these, I use to get a feeling of mixed emotions, like it was telling me one day I am going to hear these songs again, but its gonna be filled with sadness and nostalgia.
Man this one takes me back! What a great tune! Memories comes rushing back from my teenage years!👌😎👍 Damn we had great music back then! What da hell happened! Rip🙏Eddie Rabbit! You left us great music!
Beautiful music from the 50's to the mid-80's, then it pretty much went downhill from the mid-90's and onward. Then, a new generation came along who were angry, jaded, and held very little hope for the future. One young man in his twenties told me "I hate my generation's music". I replied "Your generation is the first of its kind to feel that way".
Even the BADBOY has to have that one secret weapon song that defines his heart he only reveals to that special lady in his life! No shame in that only honor!
23 years gone but still oh so relevant in the 21st century. This century does not have good singers and songwriters like you Eddie Rabbitt, nor songs that you can relate too. I am sure a lot of guys can relate to this song. Girls too!
Now this is how you write a love song and there is no one better to sing it than Eddie Rabbit !!! Current country singers need to take note that this is how it is done !!!
![Eagles - Lyin' Eyes (Live 1977) (Official Video) [4K]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/PqccEpqvwPY/mqdefault.jpg)
Today's generation and any generation after that will never never know the talent we grew up with, when music like this played on the Walkman radio...
Agree, they’re clueless
My husband and I just celebrated 42 years of marriage and this is our song🥰
So did he woo you "step by step" ? 😄
Congratulations 🎉
Happy Anniversary! 🎉❤
He does all three steps!
Congrats
Who's listening in 2024
Yes my favorite country singer is from Brooklyn NYC
Me 100%
Me and my Misses
I do best country music ever❤
I am listening to it and it is June ll 2024
日本でこの曲が大好きで2023年の今でも聴いてる人はどれくらいいるのかな。名曲です。
Born in 91, never heard this before. Absolute jam
When I was six years old in 1981, my folks had this 45 and I used to play it over and over again rocking out to it. An absolute classic! RIP Eddie! Thank you for the memories...
Im 52, My generation grew up on this music, and followed these steps. And the Women Thanked Us too!!!!!!
Bull crap!!! I'm 56 and my dad ran around on my mom every chance he could get. He even slept with my mom's best friend.
Any chance you know how I could contact your mother's best friend? What may have been reprehensible conduct for your father simply represents another day at the office for me.
@@KimberlyRedman-f1r
5'2" and adorable
And just as crazy as you are adorable
❤
RIP Eddie!!!!!Truly one of the VERY BEST!!!
Pure country at its best a great song
I miss the music of 70's and 80's and Eddie is another great musician that we lost and miss.
Me to I am sixty years old 😂
I miss him too.
He and the song are exactly right. The trick is making it last.
One of those songs you can remember when you first heard it. Died way too young
My mom passed away some years ago but when I was 5 years old, we used to really enjoy listening to Eddie Rabbitt songs and it really bring back some great memories with my mom❤
Yes . . . Step by Step . . . You will win her love . . .
Love this tune. By one of the greatest musicians of his era.
My husband won me over by being a gentle man. Fifteen years later I love him more every single day.
Eddie Rabbit always sang from the heart! He also wrote songs in the same!
That's beautiful, Paulette.
That's awesome
💑
You are a very lucky woman indeed.
This was a huge country song in 1981.
His #5 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 too
Awesome Crossover song. Very popular on Pop Radio as well
ALBANY, GA 1981😅😅😅😅😅😅
I miss him. I saw him in Branson on my 24th birthday, about 30 yrs ago. He was tall, so handsome, and his music fantastic. He left us much too young. If he were still alive, I have no doubt he would have been performing in Branson on a regular basis.
Never saw him perform live, but he seemed like such an awesome guy RIP Eddie!
Very Handsome man, I agree. Great music. I miss these days.
My late husband played this song to me, I Loved it then and I Love it now it's been 24 years ago since he has passed away 💔
Sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your man chose the perfect song.
@williambolton4766 Thank You
I'm very sorry
sorry for your
loss
Omg this song reminds me of my grand dad I'm sure I'm the only 18 year old listening to Eddie rabbit in 2024
My kids r 23 and 20 years old. And I'm 48 years old. And this is music I grew up too so my kids listen to this music as it's today's music! 70's and 80's music was like no other u will hear today! I miss this beautiful times in country and rock n roll!
Takes me back to 1983
Nice times
Those were the best times of our lives
great times
Love this song 2023😍🎶
Hey how are you doing today?
I agree with all women that all men should listen to this song word by word
I just met a woman and asked her to listen to it. Lol. They don’t appreciate good music anymore. She responded with I like hip hop music. I’ll just keep looking I guess.
God has some wonderful singers up in heaven❤
Hello how are you doing today?
Eddie was a class act and left a great legacy of music for all of us.
Left us way too soon.
"Long ago and far away in my old common labor shoes
I turned the world all which a way just because you asked me to", comes to mind listening to this one.
Mr. Rabbitt iz a good un but I'm just a g d baboon. What do i know.
damn right
@@cheriolheiser9704 only the good die young.
One of the greatest pop-country songs ever. R.I.P., Eddie.
I did 40 years later I still haven't stopped, love you Elaine
Amen brother.
Dec 8 will be 40 for my wife and me as well, Congrats on such a long and lovely marrige.
Makes me feel young.. them high school years. Boy to be young again, amen
Might be 1 of the best country songs ever
A pop song but it was still country music. They knew what they were doing.
Early '80s were an awesome time for crossover 'Country-Pop'
Wish the other generations followed this. ❤
How could anyone not like this song?
The nostalgia just comes washing in.
Step by Step
First then second and that third step

I'm running now at the age of 74 years young
Lost him way too early. Love this song for decades. steps this generation need to learn to follow
Love Eddie since I was 12.
Didn’t really like this song back then.

His voice is so smooth the angels welcomed him to heaven with open arms and I would too.
Preach
@@tashalynn29 your spot on love
Damn that is sad
Amen and Amen!!😊🤗😇🌈🙌🙏🕊👑
How sad it is that he had to leave us so soon.
He's just that good man o man
A man did take this approach with me and won my heart.
My husband and I were married for 38 yrs because of these lyrics. I fell in love with my husband when this played on radio, because he practiced all three steps.
It's pretty much DEAD..But Eddie knows..😉😊💯💥❤
Congratulations on that. 🙏
When i hear this song, I close my eyes see this happening to me, someday:)

Great tune ! Haven't heard this song and years . I was at my brothers wedding . Great night !
I think all men should listen to this song !!!
Some of us were raised right.
I listen to this song all the time & all women want is that bad boy image & I am a good boy
Must have been a million times. Guess I'm a dreamer
Been listening to this for 30 plus years
I agree
Still love this 1980-1981 hit by the late Edward Thomas (Eddie) Rabbitt.
Good job, Brooklyn
Yeah, I remember this song vividly.....August, 1981......Takes me right back.
I was born in 1972 and I love all the oldies and the 80's
Hi Tammy 💐💐
I used to play this often and find myself close to tears when I had to go overseas and be away from my gf for a year. It was agony but I survived and we wed a few years later. RIP, angel, it's agony once more but I pray we'll be reunited again one day. ❤🩹
It's sung with the passion and emotion of a man whose gotten his lady.

Always been a great Classic!! Listened to a lot back in the 80s
Hello how are you doing today?😊
Eddie was way before his time ! ♥️ An excellent artist 🎸
Still playing this great tune in 2020. Who's with me?
I remember skating to this song when it first came out in 1981. I was 9. Yeah, I'm that old, still listening to this song and loving it!
The best ever
I love this 1981 Eddie Rabbitt hit, which peaked @ #5 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart!!!
Bravo, Edward Thomas Rabbitt!!! R.I.P., Eddie...you were a class act all the way!!!
Eddie Rabbit songs had what our generation called game. Kids today could learn alot from him .

DAMN CLASSIC LOVE SONG TURN IT UP STEP BY STEP
This song lays it out for you fellas. Follow his steps and you will get the girl.
Haha, if only that were true in today's screwed up society! Nowadays, any guy following this song's advice who is not at least six feet tall, with a chiseled jaw line, six pack abs, and making six figures a year will promptly get me-too'ed and canceled! 😂

The best music ever was back in the 70’s and early 80’s !
Definitely know what Eddie is singing about. A song from a time when music had meaning.
Amen buddy.
Luckily, there are a handful of modern bands that have songs with meaningful lyrics.
Just a incredible classic song that is a masterpiece in the music industry today
I Am 47 & when I was growing up I listened to the music my mom played & I love the older music,It’s the best.you can actually understand what they are singing & saying!
This song takes me way back it's an amazing song !!!
Fly high with the Angels.Thank you for such a timeless tune.
Awesome song .
Great music is a thing of the past. I will cherish these songs forever. My kids are discovering these songs and are hooked.
Beautiful! Awesome. RIP Dear!
Hello Manuela how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
One of the true masters of that great 80s retro country sound. Still know the words by heart.
This was mine and my husband's song at our wedding 2 years ago. He really loves the classics
Awesome!! It was our wedding song as well, 34yrs ago.
I always cry when I hear it....I don't even know why lol
That's when you know it's a timeless classic, one that touches your very soul!! 🙂. I love this song, it's my favorite of his.@@daxcraft73
It's been almost twenty-two years since Eddie has passed away we still love your songs that he rest in peace
I was thinking about him lately. Always loved his music 😀
But your heart keeps talking to you....don't give up...you think you see something in her eye but you will never know until you try.....good song here...love it ...nice job!!
Did you know Eddie Rabbitt wrote "Kentucky Rain" that Elvis Presley made popular?
Yes, it's a great song
One of the best songs by The King. What a team! Probably, both of them collaborating in Heaven.
No l never knew that but it's cool to know. I'm atrivia buff and l like to know those things.
And Recorded "Any which way but loose" Clint Eastwood movie. Right turn Clyde.
Wow had to Google that but your right. Time frame just didn't seem right. Awesome 😊 he then recorded his voice of Kentucky rain in 1978
Remember my parents listening to this in the early 80s. My dad cherished my Mother! He left her too soon. He was only 52. 35 years ago now! Song still gets to me!
Hello Jeanette how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
I love this song
"I think of my mommy and daddy!!"❤😢
This is how I always imagined how a good man would would be like♥️
Yeah, it's just a pity that women never go for these type of men until after the women reach menopause and have several divorces and kids under their belt! 😂
Love Eddie Rabbits music I truck for a living driving a big Peterbilt and late at night I jam to this 👍
This song is exactly how to go about finding a good woman...I'm just saying
This Song Went To Number 5 On The Billboard Hot-100 Chart In 1981.
I am so overcome with emotion when I hear this song, because I remember where I was. Walking through the dining room towards the living room, Mom was in the kitchen, Dad lounging on the veranda. They are no longer here. When I use to hear songs like these, I use to get a feeling of mixed emotions, like it was telling me one day I am going to hear these songs again, but its gonna be filled with sadness and nostalgia.

One young man in his twenties told me "I hate my generation's music". I replied "Your generation is the first of its kind to feel that way".
Could not have said it better
I'm not much on country music, but I've loved this song since the first time I ever heard it. and 30 yrs later...I'm still taking it Step By Step !!
Even the BADBOY has to have that one secret weapon song that defines his heart he only reveals to that special lady in his life! No shame in that only honor!
Eddie Rabbit how I love you and miss you, thank you for your wonderful music. As you live in our memories and hearts.
Amen
Alleluia! !!
23 years gone but still oh so relevant in the 21st century. This century does not have good singers and songwriters like you Eddie Rabbitt, nor songs that you can relate too. I am sure a lot of guys can relate to this song. Girls too!
One of my favorite songs of all time. Classy and a true classic!
Yes it is!! Thanks for the listen!!
v big qQq
The world will forever be better because Eddie was here and left one Hell of a mark. R.I.P.
Love this song, just like loving my rainy night now.
this song went to #5 on the pop charts in 1981!!!
and was one of 4 Top Ten crossover pop hits for him
I LOVE THIS SONG IT BRINGS MEMOIES BACK TO ME MEETING MY SOULMATE 😊😊
Step by Step was my favorite song in the 1980s and today I still listen to that song.
I love the song myself
Guess what buddy you're not the only one. Lol.😂
