The most creative and original music that has ever been written was during the 70's.
There musta been something in the water that decade! Oh wait a minute, it wasn't the water, it was the sm*ke in the air! :) From Funk, to R&B, to Rock, it was ALL GOOD!
I guess every generation thinks the music of their childhood was the "best". maybe it's because we remeber being kids and the music takes us back. I can't imagine the radio music of today even comparing to the music of the 70's. I'm late 70's early 80's myself. this music is "pure"...
This is about the time I saw these guys at a nice day on the green at Humboldt State University,they were great! They played with Eddie Money, Norton Buffalo and Santana :)
I think it's important for ANY singer to play within himself, otherwise that strianing he does to hit beyond his limit might appear to be whining. The lead singer of this band comes close, but doesn't quite cross that line. A little bit of advice for y'all.
I used to go out with Bruce Day in the late 70's when he was with his original band. They played at Country Road in San Francisco. I was crazy about him. He was a very nice gentle guy. I heard he passed away in 1999. I think he is playing music in another realm now. When I hear this song I think of him with much love. Love to you Bruce wherever you are. Jean.
@sweetlove1171 Now I'm gonna sound "old" but the music was better in the 70s. No "hoes" and "bitches" in every other line in every song. Great tunes that many people remember. I could go on forever but...let's just say for me, NO MUSIC will replace the music i grew up with in the 70s.
@Dwaynne63 i was born in 1990 and i will agree that music was soooo much better. which is why i spend my time on here watching these videos...catching up on decades of music at its prime
@SessionsRecordings In my humble opinion....you just can't go wrong with songs from the 70s. And to me.....for many, many reasons, it was the one of the top two or three most interesting decades of the 20th century.
@Dwaynne63 you have written a perfectly typical youtube comment! every song recorded prior to 1991 on youtube has at least 230597239058723 comments like yours about how "the kids these days don't even make music" "things aren't like they used to be" etc etc LOL
@buffaloknife and you must not be old enough to appreciate the superior and fun-loving music of the 70s. Too bad because there will never be another decade like the glorious 70s. I mean just read what everyone (including me) is saying about the music and the decade
@Dwaynne63 I totally agree with you and it doesn't sound old this is when music is music. The 70's was my favorite year for music,like you said NO HOES AND BITCHES like todays music. I have everyone of Pablo Cruise cd's never get sick of hearing them.Yes you are right no music will replace the music we grew up with in the 70's
a lot of people are gonna think I'm crazy but back in the day...yes the '70's...I had a '67 mustang (289) and I had 2 cassette tape decks in it cause I didn't want the music to stop or slow down...I was soo into music...only thing about having those 2 decks...I had to have a wingman cause the second deck was in the glove box...lmao
Thanks for posting this! To any and all who say this sucks, my band covered this song from 1980 to 1984- It always warmed people right up, and it never failed to pack a dance floor. Snappy, catchy with a great groove, great changes, beautifully laid out guitar lead, and super- fun vocals (if any band had two singers with the chops to sing it!). Nothing but smiles and dancers everywhere we went. I miss songs like this!
This is not the kind of music I listen to-- I like Drum n Bass- but this is a catchy tune, and the playing is fine. The bassline makes it sound a bit like a disco song. I don't see how someone could say this sucks, even if you don't like the style.
I laugh like hell when I see some of these comments. Great entertainment and also validates my belief that there are still plenty of assholes left in America. LOL If someone doesnt like the music or the certain style of a band right away they "suck" Regardless of their talent and musical capabilities these shit for brains individuals say they suck. Gotta love it. I kinda enjoy this type of music so I guess Im an asshole right fellas?
all the BS,right or wrong, ain't nobody going to give a shit about it. expression.! but I'll tell you this, our future generations are in dire straight!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Much as I liked Bud Cockrell, Bruce Day stepped in very admirably covering his vocals and bass parts almost note for note. This song is a perfect demonstration. Funkalicious boys!!!
Great song....I was in my teens when this came out, everyone went to the skating rink every Friday night, and this was one of the many great tunes that they would play while we went round and round....wondering if I would gather up the necessary courage to ask some girl to couple skate. Usually, no courage....just ended up hitting the asteroids game until "all skate" again.
When Top-40 was still worth listening to. Back when I was starting Kindergarten, and didn't have to worry about a thing. Great song. great band. Thanx for posting.
sucks.....bullshit..this is when music was music..and yes kids the words are coming from his mouth at the same time he sings them...unlike the concerts you go to today..
Haha I looked this up after watching the Simpsons season 10 episode "Viva Ned Flanders" Marge was looking through a bin of free cassettes and got excited when she found one by this band. Bart called it "crap rock".
@BrutusMcCrunch "bunch of old no pussy gettin losers...gotta get back to my girlfriend...find it in a dictionary"

@SMDforTacos Grow Up, and go clean ur freakin runny nose! Seriously no disrespect to Bieber, but todays music is not the same. I'm sure ur future children will feel the same way about the crap ur listening to today....so put that in ur pipe and smoke it!
@michiganstopcat "Lame is the only word that comes to my mind. I think this song is homoish."
Dave's vocals sound a little flat compared to the studio version. And Bud told me himself; the best band he played bass for was an unknown Fusion band before his Pablo Cruise stint. Other than that, Pablo Cruise is hardly "lame" compared to the simple-simon Hip-Hop/Rap/Rock garbage put out today. The only thing that sounds "homoish" is your post - not uncommon for such a musically clueless forum...
Your inability to discern musical quality is the lingua franca of youtube, so don't try that older age = appreciation of quality music spiel here.
FYI, I'm in my 30's, and able to appreciate the quality of older music, since older music is generally of higher quality anyway. Mariah and Christina Aquilera are probably the only contemporary artists left who have real vocal talent.
BTW, don't think for a second I believe you're a Black dude, you fucking Internet scammer LMAO~
Your stupidity is stunnning and ,apparently,racist as well.
Listen you piece of shit. Fuck you,fuck that whore Britney spears...and worst wishes to your entire family.How bout that bitch...if you wanna make something of it PM me and lets do this...I'd love to end your shit.
I was referring to MARIAH CAREY and CHRISTINA AGUILERA, 2 of the best female vocalists in Pop history, not a HAWT looking no-talent like Britney Spears.
You dont sound like nothing but a GHETTO-ASS buffoon. On second thought; GHETTO types don't have the intellect to post on Internet forums, nor do they listen to Christopher Cross. I think you're either a Internet scammer trying to stir up shit, or a CHATTERBOT = artificial intelligence, and a weak one at that.
I listen to Christopher Cross and so did my dad....you're a scared fag redneck(thats what I'm getting from your reply).I'll smash your face into a thousand pieces whenever you;re ready to leave the safety of your laptop,bitch.Until then,I hope your whole family dies prematurely.
I find it very very suspicious that you comment on very aspect of my posts, except the CHATTERBOT references?!?
Fuck this fictitious Internet CHATBOT crap. It's in every single Internet forum. The last time I asked a guy from a forum to meet me at a location to "settle our differences," it was a no-show. Matter of fact, I later found out that it was the site owner - an acquaintance of mine whom I've spoken with on many occasions. Of course, he'll never admit it lol
@BrutusMcCrunch "'ll smash your face into a thousand pieces whenever you;re ready to leave the safety of your laptop,bitch"
Dude, just in case you are a real person; you don't sound like you know how to fight, based on your post. I get the impression that you're the type of guy who punches like a girl (or BITCH in your terms lol) and leaves himself open to left hooks and uppercuts - not just jabs. Bring your silly ass in town and get a hold of me - I need a little fun in my life (BIG smiles)
What's the matter bitch - cat got your tongue?!? You're a fake. I'd love to get your sorry ass in the ring. I'm getting so aroused at the thought of mouses above and under both eyes, and blood dripping from the eye-lids and mouth...yeah baby!!!
Yeah, I''m in California. If you happen to be in town, PM me and we can do this legally in a gym where there's a ring - no cops, weapons, or anything like that. First of all - what are your stats?!? If you're well over 6ft and over 200 lbs, I might have to back down, as I'm only a middle-weight, and on the assumption that you may have commendable punching skills to match those stats. Like they say; never underestimate an opponent. Yeah bro, let me know...
Damn, Bud looks like a kid here. When a friend told me Bud Cockrell from Pablo Cruise was doing local solo gigs in town, I didn't recognize him until I spoke to him. Had he not lived the life of a Rock star (booze, drugs and more drugs) right before my eyes, he may be alive today...one of the nicest guys I've met. A true class act - never came off as pretentious in any way or form, but talked a lot of shit about Dave Jenkins - damn near hated him lol
Saw Pablo cruz, bachman turner overdrive and cheap trick at the capital center, in largo md. in 1977. A SUPER concert..made even better cuz i was there with my soul mate...GLORIA....I'll never forget her. ..33 years later, i still miss her!!! :-(
to BrutusMcCrunch: you state that Pablo Cruise "sucks" and you come across like a music know-it-all. ... Let's see how much you really know: state why you think they suck in real musical terms: composition, arrangement, chord changes, melody, harmony, pitch, meter, solos/chops, stage presence, relevance to the era, etc.
@gottahave5150 This isn't really my kind of music on the whole, and I hate their whole aesthetic, but they are fantastic musicians, loads of chops and a killer groove.
@gottahave5150 no reply from Mcknowitall... let's face it, late 70's early 80's music was a VERY diverse time - everything from disco to black-t-shirt-rock to country cross-over - you name it... sure, you don't have to like it all, but they made more money on this record than McCrotchkrickets will in his whole life...
@chariotdrvr14: you don't get it. This song was middle of the road in the 70s and still is, but music appreciation IMHO is about variety. ... I love pizza, but I don't eat it at every meal. ... Music appreciation is also about recognizing talent in genre that you don't necessarily listen to (the point of Zyklopz9). I don't listen to Eminem, but I know he's got talent. Ditto for Luciano Pavarotti or Josh Groban — you'd have to be a fool (or very inexperienced) to not recognize their ability.
I believe that it is Bruce Day in this 1977 video, but it's difficult to say for sure. ... We were friends in the early 1990s when was a member of the Luther Tucker Band and shortly before Tuck died in 1993. Both of them were great players and kindhearted individuals. ... Bruce died in 1999 about a year or so after being struck by a vehicle while walking across Hwy 116 in Sebastopol to/from a place called Star Video. I believe it was a hemorrhage caused by a detached esophagus.
Just saw these fine men Fri night at the Fair, they still look & sound cool. Thanks for posting!! Great memories, since I saw them & the Little River Band in 1978 at age 16!!
1978 The Met in Bloomington, MN on a beautiful Summer afternoon and evening with my bros having the absolutely most wonderful time n all-time top 75...
The height of the disco era although I was a rocker this was considered rock but was played on the disco radio stations. I was 14 and it was so much a better time and happier time.
The music was positive and upbeat and the musicians had talent.
I can't believe Pablo Cruise are going to be doing a live album, i'm sooo looking forward to that and so will Will Ferrell (he's a huge fan of theirs) :)
Yep 2nd grade for me. Ford Pintos were all the rage for the girls and the Japanese motorcycles were the desire of all boys like me. Boy were those fun years.
Bands with 2 lead singers seldom last for the long haul. Pablo was an awesome group over about a 3 year span then they just fell apart. It's a dadgum shame that they could'nt swallow egos and keep rockin'. They were awesome!! A Place in the Sun and Worlds Away were terrific albums.
One of the songs I could not get out of my head. This song was number 1 on the charts when my best gf left me. I saw her once and told her about this song and how it reminded me of her. What a great song.
Awesome song! These guys are great in concert. They will be appearing live @ the Clover Island Inn, Kennewick, Wa. on July 31st. Saw them there two years ago and it was an excellent concert. They still have it!
i was in 6th grade when this song was out. i never knew who made this song until today..... why can't life be simple like it was in the 70s and 80's???? but then again, i'm not delusional, i know that it was an "illusion" of innocence,but what a wonderful illusion it was!!!!
@viciousalienklown and to be honest i think there are really only a couple genres of music that can do good live: mainstream christian contemporary music, and some but not all country music. Thats why I just usually stick with Liquid drum and bass or House music so you dont have to hear lyrics, just sweet melodies that dont get old near as fast. But even at that, there is very limited material I would consider actually "selectable" to hear.

@viciousalienklown AGREED, and Im not even that old, 28, but definetly think most music is terrible these days, there is no reason for musicians to try hard because the studio tools can automatically cover up all the mistakes. To be a good band back then you really had to "want" it more than these punk ass kids today
A very under rated group, one of the grooviest bass lines I have heard. I was only about 8 or 9 when this song came out. It's amazing how a song can evoke memories.
I read yesterday that Bud Cockrell indeed passed away. I think it happened just last week. This makes me very sad as Bud and I actually dated for a brief while in the mid-80s. He was an amazing talent and did half of the lead singing on the original recording of this song, as well as writing and singing lead on Place in the Sun. He will be greatly missed.
Th bass player is flat out sick with a pick. Probably one of the best funk pick players I have heard. I'm a bass player and it is really hard to sound that soulful with a pick. It doesn't hurt to have your drummer on point like a mofo either.
@junkthump ... Totally agree with you dude, Bruce Day is a bass playin badass!
I play bass as well (and guitar) and I find that its easier to play those funky riffs with a pick, plus you get a lot more attack than playing with your fingers... And yes, this drummer is REAL tight in the pocket with the bass, so the song has a nice popping feel to it!
Great song! PC is an amazing band. I'll be seeing them live this summer. Can anyone confirm that Bud Cockrell, (original co-lead vocalist) has passed away? He was one the best.
@Pacisdiligo ... Not sure about Cockrell. The bassist in this vid is Bruce Day (I'm 99% sure) and he was with them during their biggest hits. Pretty sure Day passed away, but I cant find any info about that either...

@michiganstopcat "Lame is the only word that comes to my mind. I think this song is homoish."
Dave's vocals sound a little flat compared to the studio version. And Bud told me himself; the best band he played bass for was an unknown Fusion band before his Pablo Cruise stint. Other than that, Pablo Cruise is hardly "lame" compared to the simple-simon Hip-Hop/Rap/Rock garbage put out today. The only thing that sounds "homoish" is your post - not uncommon for such a musically clueless forum...

Your inability to discern musical quality is the lingua franca of youtube, so don't try that older age = appreciation of quality music spiel here.
FYI, I'm in my 30's, and able to appreciate the quality of older music, since older music is generally of higher quality anyway. Mariah and Christina Aquilera are probably the only contemporary artists left who have real vocal talent.
BTW, don't think for a second I believe you're a Black dude, you fucking Internet scammer LMAO~

@chariotdrvr14: you don't get it. This song was middle of the road in the 70s and still is, but music appreciation IMHO is about variety. ... I love pizza, but I don't eat it at every meal. ... Music appreciation is also about recognizing talent in genre that you don't necessarily listen to (the point of Zyklopz9). I don't listen to Eminem, but I know he's got talent. Ditto for Luciano Pavarotti or Josh Groban — you'd have to be a fool (or very inexperienced) to not recognize their ability.

I believe that it is Bruce Day in this 1977 video, but it's difficult to say for sure. ... We were friends in the early 1990s when was a member of the Luther Tucker Band and shortly before Tuck died in 1993. Both of them were great players and kindhearted individuals. ... Bruce died in 1999 about a year or so after being struck by a vehicle while walking across Hwy 116 in Sebastopol to/from a place called Star Video. I believe it was a hemorrhage caused by a detached esophagus.

Bands with 2 lead singers seldom last for the long haul. Pablo was an awesome group over about a 3 year span then they just fell apart. It's a dadgum shame that they could'nt swallow egos and keep rockin'. They were awesome!! A Place in the Sun and Worlds Away were terrific albums.

@viciousalienklown and to be honest i think there are really only a couple genres of music that can do good live: mainstream christian contemporary music, and some but not all country music. Thats why I just usually stick with Liquid drum and bass or House music so you dont have to hear lyrics, just sweet melodies that dont get old near as fast. But even at that, there is very limited material I would consider actually "selectable" to hear.

@viciousalienklown AGREED, and Im not even that old, 28, but definetly think most music is terrible these days, there is no reason for musicians to try hard because the studio tools can automatically cover up all the mistakes.

I read yesterday that Bud Cockrell indeed passed away. I think it happened just last week. This makes me very sad as Bud and I actually dated for a brief while in the mid-80s. He was an amazing talent and did half of the lead singing on the original recording of this song, as well as writing and singing lead on Place in the Sun. He will be greatly missed.

Th bass player is flat out sick with a pick. Probably one of the best funk pick players I have heard. I'm a bass player and it is really hard to sound that soulful with a pick. It doesn't hurt to have your drummer on point like a mofo either.

@junkthump ... Totally agree with you dude, Bruce Day is a bass playin badass!
I play bass as well (and guitar) and I find that its easier to play those funky riffs with a pick, plus you get a lot more attack than playing with your fingers... And yes, this drummer is REAL tight in the pocket with the bass, so the song has a nice popping feel to it!
