David Roberts - Midnight Rendezvous (1982)

[drrckyee]

Does David Roberts soundslike Styx lead singer Dennis DeYoung?

[tone143]

The album this is from is considered one of the ten best amongst fans of this genre--another "best kept secret",like so many others.

@OrionClassic

Thanks a zilion times, mate! :-)

[OrionClassic]

I got to tell you, I bought this record when it was released in 1982 and I was in 7th heaven after listening to it at the record store, the best record I´d ever heard.

I already had some AOR-records like "Run away" with Bill Champlin and "Needless freaking" with Dwayne Ford, Maxus, Ray Kennedy . Here's a link where David tells the story of making this great album.

Good gosh is this is a gorgeous song.

[jimP71]

I remember this tune from so long ago

[marbananta]

Westcoast AOR at the best. I think David Roberts' music is similar to Jay Graydon, David Foster, Bill Champlin, blended with more 'rock guitars'.

[DaveThrashManiac]

Beautiful song

[ph1lanthrope]

Whatever happened to this guy? Production duties must be courtesy of Foster & Graydon!

[chunky60]

This song brings back alot of memories, thanks for posting!!

[aloha2cuba]

This song is very special for me & my wife. We watched a night city view of KYOTO City Japan, every midnights, when we were university sutdents.

[tomdwa1]

Reminds me a bit of Christopher Cross...

I like very much David Roberts. Can the album titled "Better late than never" could be easyly found ?

[penworkd]

I went to high school and shared a music course with Dave in 1977 at Georges Vanier in Willowdale,ON in those days he was in a band called Palace Laundry

[princecharming1970]

Wow! Remember this song when I was 12. Now, I am 40 .. All I could remember is the part Midnight Rendezvous but never knew who sang it before. Nice song!

[Teemujazz]

No wonder why this sounds so great. It's the guys from TOTO: Jeff Porcaro (drs), MIke Porcaro (b), Steve Lukather (g) But also a great guitarist and producer Jay Graydon (g), Gary Herbig (sax), Michael Boddicker (synth), David Leonard (synth), Paulinho Da Costa (perc), Bill Champlin, Joe Chemay (bacround vocals)

[bellomarcello]

sound is fantastic produced

I would also like to hear "Wrong Side Of The Tracks" also by David Roberts.

[bazzorius]

great David! i love all his songs..

where can I find his lyrics?

[535Imports]

I love this album! I went crazy for this album around 1984. A few years ago, I found this album in Germany and I got it! Does anyone know what happened to him?

[esds99]

He released an album titled "Better Late Than Never" in 2008 - 26 years after "All Dressed Up"! I've learned that he toured in Japan in 2008.

[david999r]

[bucs1976]

Wow! I've been looking for this song of Ramsey Lewis/Nancy Wilson version. But this is pretty nice too.

Thank you for a good old song :-)

[Uquixt]

This is my favourite track on the CD which is available but it is an outrageously expensive import from Japan. Thanks to whoever posted it, I now have it safely on my IPOD. Thanks very much.

[huruchi1]

[isospesh]

Nice one. Ilike this.Only ever heard a instrumental version.Keep the Faith.

[veewee]

I've never heard the instrumental version but I have Ramsey Lewis/Nancy Wilson version which is nice too.
