June, 1980 this song reminds me of Lisa Tulamello a "girl" I had a crush on, dated a couple of times, and then got dumped. This was one of her favorite songs. Lisa, whereever you are I hope you had a very rotten life!!!
This song ROCKS! I listen to this stuff all the time on my ipod and NEVER get tired of it. This music LASTS! Totally reminds me of my great childhood.

This song brings back instant memories of the Axle Roller Rink, Norridge, IL, circa 1980. It was one of the songs that was usually one of the first ones played during Saturday night disco skates there, right after the traditional opening song Souvenir. Spent some great times at the Axle on Saturday nights, with a late night snack at Superdawg usually following. Whatever happened to the Axle after it closed? I left Chicago in the early 90s and have always wondered what becames of the property.
This guy was always a Kenny Loggins hack,I grew up in the 70's and there was really good music but not on pop radio,on rock radio there was Led Zepplin,Foreigner,Journey,Yes,King Crimson,Rainbow,Deep Purple,Cheap Trick etc.etc. but this song was like all those other speak easy wine glass songs by this guy and Eric Carmen,Air Supply and Commodores/Lionel Richie etc,etc.
@001GenLee We shouldn't be in fear of something from without, we should fear it from within. Can anyone really believe what has happened in just the last few days. Are we really going to let this happen to us? I keep expecting to wake up....but I'm already awake. I'm blown away!
isn't it funny that u can go for years and years and not hear a song..But soon as it come on somewhere u can sing it word for word..Wow forgot all about this song..now I'm sitting here singing it while typing
@Midnightryder7 Not only remember the words and sing it - for me it does that plus takes me back in time - I think of things I hadn't in years - where I was what I was doing when this song was popular.
@kja427 There was one where he performed on American Bandstand on abc but he was interrupted by the band Public Image Limited, can't find the video though...
I love it when kids appreciate songs that are before their time. Songs from the '70s and '80s are more meaningful. Check out Paul Davis' and Kenny Nolan's songs.. now that's what you call "CLASSIC ARTISTS". Check them out when U get a chance (Cool Night, Love's Grown Deep, I Go Crazy, I Like Dreamin', Sweet Life).
im 40 and to be honest theres a lot of bashing mostly on my part but every now and again your generation shines a glimmer of light. my taste in music goes back to the 50's. good music will never die..lately ive been rokin out to foster the people. may it be a light house to bring our generations together.
todays music just dont have any thing that these songs have, its called a soul, most of the stuff i hear is real crap, then again thier are a few songs which do , but whats sad is the music is not as good anymore
Lady Gaga is a transvestite whore and a disintegrative icon element that corrupts, while being pathetically a copy-cat who does a shitty job at it. Leave the bitch out of any discussion referring to real music or vocal artists who had real talent. Robby DuPree was the source of umpteen many 'couples skates' and prom dance slow dancing. He was the source of "our song" by couples in love. There is a Doobie Brothers sound and an easy flow of his style that makes him a favourite for lovers.
@bucky468 It certainly sounds like him, but there's no evidence it is. He's not on any of the personnel listings. Even if it is, the keyboard riff is a blatant rip-off of "What a Fool Believes." McDonald was the hottest thing on the market at that time, I can understand the urge to imitate him. But this was particularly shameless. And where did the guy's career go after this? Nowhere. Time sorts out real talent from poseur talent and this guy is 100% poseur.
@scribbled309 He still plays the occasional county fairs & such. He still performs. Dupree was on the Warner label just like MM & the Doobs so it wouldn't surprise me if Mike lent a hand on his albums. MM was all over other artists's albums throughout the late 70's/early 80's so it doesn't shock me any.
Would you rather listen to Lady Gaga or Katy Perry? Talk about real talent vs poseur talent.
@bucky468 Actually I would prefer Katy Perry, who has great pop sense. And I think Lady Gaga has talent as well--but she also has zero taste and less class. I appreciate your point of view, and also thank you for not turning this into one of those ugly exchanges one sees too much on You Tube. We'll just agree to disagree on this one. Take care.
Okay, Tampa Fl, the Imperial Room Lounge, Kat Rose, God what a beautiful woman I had the pleasue of for several months. Beautiful green eyes that would melt your soul. Luscious full lipps that were made for kissing. A heart that was made for caring and loving. Kat, I still remember.
IM A PUERTO RICAN HIP HOP HEAD IM 37 AND I LOVE THIS SONG , I UESDE TO HEAR ON THR RADIO IN THE EARLY 80s WHEN I WAS LIKE 8 OR 9 AND ITS GOT SOUL .....PEACE .
im only 16 years old but love this music more than todays music! this kind of music has real meanings instead of todays music they call r&b, hip hop ect all of which is about sex and drugs :/ i mostly listen to country but thats about it... to be honest im really embarrassed of my generation i wish i could have grown up in the 70s or 80s i would have rocked it! :)
@princessk30 You hit the nail on the head with that comment. Music is a form of expression regardless of the genre. Compare the messages of the music from the past with what is being conveyed today. Sadly the messages of today are a lot more materialistic and self indulged than they were before. The only thing a person can do is really just tune out what they don't like and listen to what that they do. Keep on rockin on.
@princessk30 I'm glad you appreciate this kind of music. I'm 30 years old and listened to this kind of music VERY early in my life. Justin Bieber cannot compare to some of the great acts of the day like Todd Rundgren, K. C. and the Sunshine Band, Olivia Newton-John, and others. Robbie Dupree is just one example of a great artist of a genre that seems to be long forgotten.
I know it sounds cliche, but they really don't make music this good anymore. This type of music is just so soothing to the ears and just hits you (ok, my corny moment is over..hehe)
A former carpet layer from Ventura "borrows" Michael McDonalds style, riffs, and melodies and has the good fortune not to be sued for copyright infringement because McDonald is a class act and above the fray. Cudo's to Michael for exercising extreme restraint in order for this guy to experience his 15 minutes of fame.
I'm a 48 y/o black male, and I love just about every genre of music. I'm not sure why, but I woke up this morning (at about 7:15am cst) with this song in my head. I came to youtube thinking there would be a video to the song. Oh well! This song takes me back to my graduation year of 1980. I remember listening to it on WFMF in Baton Rouge. That was a wonderful station back then. They play everything from Rock to Pop to R&B to Country (Urban Cowboy days).. I miss those days.
@gibbopg Im sure it has nothing to do with that fact that mcdonald is singing BACKUP vocals on this track like he did with so many people in the 70's and 80's. I mean come on the guy was amazing. Hell I dont know a Song Micheal Mcdonald ever did backup on that i did not love. His voice is timeless. Good call on it though not many people would have picked his voice out on this track.
Esta música fez muito sucesso na década de 80 e até hoje toca muito na Antena 1 e Alpha FM. E não é para menos. Faz bem para os ouvidos e para a alma.
As a 42 yr old black male, I can say, this is truly good music. I am a hip hop head but I also grew up on this music. I just listened to "Reminiscing" by Little River Band, good stuff! You guys are right, they don't make em like this anymore. And what's funny is they say the same things in the black community. Old school guys like Lillo Thomas, Sherrick, Freddie Jackson, Alexander O Neal, they just don't make good music anymore. and that goes for Rock, Pop, R&B, Hip Hop...SMH. Peace to all!
@Ressurection316 I love this posting... it is refreshing to read the words of someone so open to what music is! I am a 47 year old white male and something of an old school head banger... Led Zepplelin, Black Sabbath, etc. But if I were to name the most talented songwritter of all time it would have to be Stevie Wonder. Music is meant to transend racial barriers I believe; unfortunately a lot of people miss the big picture. Your posting actually made my day; thanks for that, and peace to you!
@drubedo 50 year old white male. Grew up in Tuscaloosa, Alabama as a teenager. We could go from Ted Nugent to LTD to Frank Zappa to Earth Wind and Fire to Pink Floyd all in one night. Got to admit we tripped some black dudes out driving around with our contraband and listening to Dark SIde of the Moon! Good times.
@Ressurection316 Hey, check out Mayer Hawthorne. Nerdy white dude who grew up in Detroit listening to his parents' Motown records. The boy done gone to the vault and messed with it.
@Ressurection316 I feel ya. i'm a 35 yr old black male and I agree with everything you said. My ipod has everything from this to EWF to Nirvana to the gap band etc. Good music is good music no matter what. You are not a true music lover if you can't appreciate all types of music.
@jerbojones Hey maan you said it. I go from Bach to Motley Crue and everything inbetween, when it is good you just let the music take control and who gives a crap what anybody else says.
@jerbojones I am pleased too hear that you gentlemen have once again proven that if we look into our hearts and look past color were all the same on the inside.I completely agree that music was a valuable asset too any community,any culture,any age...Today music is so computer generated that ya can't tell which is what or 4 that mater who is fake...I applode you and Ressurection316, I personally love gospel and yes I like too reminisce of the 70's and era I grew up with.
@jerbojones So true !!!.. I'm 55 now and I love all types and genres of music..Lot's of them bring back great memories of high school and my time in the service..
"NO ONE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY MAKES GOOD MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE !!"
When is the world going to understand that Marxism KILLS innovation, and the human spirit? Read Thomas Jefferson he knew all about it - before Karl Marx was even around. There is no coincidence that with the rise of socialism there is a rapid decline in innovative individuality that manifests itself in music.
Wake up America. The pathetic new music of today is just another sign of our society going down the tubes.

This song feels a lot like "What a fool believes" by the Doobie Brothers… I mean its seems very similar…

Esta música fez muito sucesso na década de 80 e até hoje toca muito na Antena 1 e Alpha FM. E não é para menos. Faz bem para os ouvidos e para a alma.

As a 42 yr old black male, I can say, this is truly good music. I am a hip hop head but I also grew up on this music. I just listened to "Reminiscing" by Little River Band, good stuff! You guys are right, they don't make em like this anymore. And what's funny is they say the same things in the black community. Old school guys like Lillo Thomas, Sherrick, Freddie Jackson, Alexander O Neal, they just don't make good music anymore. and that goes for Rock, Pop, R&B, Hip Hop...SMH. Peace to all!

@Ressurection316 I love this posting... it is refreshing to read the words of someone so open to what music is! I am a 47 year old white male and something of an old school head banger... Led Zepplelin, Black Sabbath, etc. But if I were to name the most talented songwritter of all time it would have to be Stevie Wonder. Music is meant to transend racial barriers I believe; unfortunately a lot of people miss the big picture. Your posting actually made my day; thanks for that, and peace to you!

@drubedo 50 year old white male. Grew up in Tuscaloosa, Alabama as a teenager. We could go from Ted Nugent to LTD to Frank Zappa to Earth Wind and Fire to Pink Floyd all in one night. Got to admit we tripped some black dudes out driving around with our contraband and listening to Dark SIde of the Moon! Good times.

"NO ONE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY MAKES GOOD MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE !!"
When is the world going to understand that Marxism KILLS innovation, and the human spirit? Read Thomas Jefferson he knew all about it - before Karl Marx was even around. There is no coincidence that with the rise of socialism there is a rapid decline in innovative individuality that manifests itself in music.
Wake up America. The pathetic new music of today is just another sign of our society going down the tubes.
