i'm newer to Paul Davis (blame it on my age i guess)-i can't figure out which i like better, this or "Cool Night"-two great songs/classics fa' sho!!!- i didn't bless the '60s but my parents were mos def havin' that '65 love affair!!!
My mom gave me this song to put in a CD I was making her and now I'm obsessed with it. I love this song so much. I wish they still made music like this. <3
Boy, does this take me back to highschool days. The lyrics just make you feel how you felt back in your highschool days! Those crazy and fun times you had with your friends and boyfriends/girlfriends doing all the crazy things that teens do, going to the Drive in, the skating rink, the movie theatre, the hoppin' hangouts , sneaking out late and driving around the countryside with this awesome music playing and feeling like you will never feel again.. carefree and alive! I sure miss it! :-(
I was visiting my wife in Trinidad during Thanksgiving and I heard this song for the first time over there. Of all places, right? I made sure to write down the lyrics so I could hear it when I got home and haven't been able to stop listening to it since. Awesome song.
I love this song !!! Reminds me of my first high school dance in 1983. Where oh where has all the real music gone? Cheers thanks alot for the memories!!
Love this song when the 'cheerleaders' shout "Go team Go!" Reminds me when I ran out to play those football games in '65. The crowds were cheering so loud! They're silent now.
I remember in 1983 cruising around in my old rusted top 1974 Chevy Impala, with my girlfriend and future wife jamming out to this tune. God I miss those days.
I was on the tour carried by this song with Paul. It was always amazing to see the reaction of fans when they heard the string of hits he performed that they had no idea were him. It was a hard when we lost him. He was a great artist and a better man and friend. On a 1 1/2 +/- tour I never saw him with any vice but smoking and Dr Pepper. And in the same time never heard him raise his voice or show any anger even when it would have been justified. We should all be so accepting and forgiving>
@islandscott1960 I nearly went into atrial fibrillation when I read of his passing. I heard this song, and it has stuck to me like coins to a parking meter (or pay telephone, vending machine, take your pick).
@OmarSouleyman I reallly don't understand people like you! This man was a good singer and a even better songwriter, and a gool human being, and you are slamming him for such a stupid, phony lie? Get a clue or swallow a bullet!
@islandscott1960 He used to live in our neighborhood in Roswell, GA. I'd see him up at the golf club all of the time. I never knew him personally but the way you describe him is the way I remember him. He was always very friendly and cordial to others. It was cool to have a rock star living in our neighborhood. I think his nephew came to live with him and he was always a real nice kid too.
it's good to have these kind of classic music availble now, so when you're stressed out or reminicing..just play those good old 80's music of your choce ...sit back and just enjoy =)
yes todays music well people need to drown there voices out by loud instruments back then like in the 70's and half the 80's best music . well i think so
Folks That was NOT Huey and the Boys - I managed a local Atlanta Band with other partners called WHITEFACE - They are the musicians playing the tracks - and the BGV vocals are the engineer Ed Seay, me and other
@groofoot --- As Johnny often said to Ed, "Sir I did not know that!". Doesn't surprise me though. Huey & the boys can do some AWESOME doowop harmonies.
i dont even know why I thought of this song ..I haven thought of it for ages and it hit me and I loved this song in the 80s....one of those guys you wouldnt even think it was him - face and voice never match..great voice...RIP brotha..sing it heaven for us..and let me hear you when I get there..
I am still a teen but m parents brought me up right with this kind of music and other classic rock/alternative songs and can express how relieved I am they didnt encourage todas crap.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
Seriously I am totally loving this string of Paul Davis videos I've just discovered, I have forgotten about all of them, they are so fantastic! Our world can use a bit of light hearted music like this right about now and of course always....
I always enjoyed hearing this song on the radio when it first came out, because it was a good time in music , and brought back all the memories of this time period! Peace, BobbyK This was a very enjoyable song!
Great song, although I never could figure out who sang this, my buddy thought it was J. Geils, I was like no I really dont think thats it. Good thing I didnt because I just won a $40 bet. :)
For some strange reason this song reminds me of getting reacquainted with my old high school buddies on Facebook and the old memories we've had together and I feel like I'm reliving those days again!
What a great song this is and you hardly ever hear this song on the radio, I am a big fan of the adult contemporary sound that was popular in the early 80s and it's a shame that all that has changed later on in the decade, this is my favorite Paul Davis song
@JoeGriego1 - Same thing for me in '83, but I rode around in a '69 Olds Vista Cruiser (think of the exact same car Eric Forman drove on "That '70s Show")! I was 19 at the time.
Also, I think that show was about my life circa 1985. I had a basement party room, a foreigner friend (his middle name is actually FEliZidad - take all but those three letters out, you have "Fez"!), a sister much like Laurie and a friend much like Hyde.
@JoeGriego1 Yes it doe's dude if it was not for music like this there would be no hope for better days!hang in there dude it;s got to get better for both of us !
@JoeGriego1 I could remember in 1990 cruising around in my old junked out 1974 Chevy Impala. The popularity of this song had worn out but I use to listen to oldies because that was all I could get on the AM radio which had a speaker coming up through the dash. Those were good times. Especially the summer of 1990. Though, I do remember 1983.
Love this song. Paul Davis was a little pissed at the record company for making him change the lyrics from '55 love affair to '65 love affair. If you listen to the lyrics it does make sense for the 50's (Since they had do-wop music then), but the record company for some reason felt that people in the 80's would like the song better if the love affair was a little more recent or some crap like that. still a great song.
I like this song...brings back some good memories. I just have a question. Is this video way out of focus or something? All I see is just a blur of colors.
This song is just so amazing, so awesome. Always loved this one. Takes me back to better days. This song takes me back to days of true happiness and innocence. I miss those days. My heart just aches for those days so much. What a time that was! Never to be forgotten! There was a magic in the air back then that you just cant feel today and that is a real shame. This song is pure magic in itself! Missing those days but hold the memories in my heart forever!! ☺♥
One other thing, if the 50's group led into the groundbreaking 60's era of music, then the 70's and 80's after that, why the dearth of good stuff since say 1992 ??? There is a HUGE absence of A/nything great or even good since then. Why cant you see this and admit it ?? U2 are great, but they aint new, and I'll say the Chilli Pepers are good too but they aint new either. Only Coldplay is tolerable. There, ONE freaking group of any substance, compared to the truckload-full in the 68-85 period.
Man, I simply had no idea that this was a Paul Davis song. Never would've made the connection between this and the guy who sang "I Go Crazy" and "Sweet Life".
I always thought that this was a Rick Springfield record, and that the singer was singing "65 Lover's Lane"...which I thought was a stupid phrase for the chorus. *Blush*
Please answer just this one question..why on Gods green earth don't we have this kind of music to listen to in this present day. I'll never figure it out!!
@gabaggyman1 - Because the kids today aren't interested in it! Even in my day something like this was probably looked upon as being too 'lame'. Many of my contemporaries were into the 'album-rock' sounds of the day (REO Speedwagon, Triumph, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Journey, Rolling Stones and the like).
@gabaggyman1 For the same reason that 30 years ago, when this was new, folks from thirty years before were asking how come we don't have music like "In the Still of the Night", and other doo wop songs to listen to in the present day. The real power rests with the teenagers who buy the music, and tastes evolve, or at least change.
@Alikah1 Lame reasoning.....you have it WRONG. At the time, say in 1974, you could see in their prime, Zeppelin, the Who, the Stones and Pink Floyd. NOBODY at that time was bitching about "the current music" lacking. Today, in 2011 ?? MANY current young adults ARE complaining about the music of the day, Lady Gaga, Maroon 5, and the like. Sorry Ali, things AINT like they used to be...they SUCK now, and the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Steely Dan, Queen, etc are NEVER coming back. Sorry.
@getchasumm Of course they were bitching. The previous generation, which grew up on Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Nat Cole, Vic Damone, Rosemary Clooney, Frankie Laine, etc., etc., considered anyone who came after Jerry Lee Lewis nothing but noise. They were wrong of course, but it's the way evolution works.
Evoultion means change. The music quality isnt changing, it has STOPPED. If you can find me anyone with the skill, attributes, talent and charisma of groups like Queen, Steely Dan, or the Eagles, to name just a few from the greatest era in music EVER, the 1970's, I will agree with you. But you cannot, cuz they aint around anymore. Its like saying someone who has stopped eating has changed his tastes in food. Just agree that the 1967-1982 era was unparalleled in music, and I'll let this go !
@getchasumm Absolutely not. I'll concede that the music was great, and I'll include other bands, such as The Kinks, Jethro Tull, Dylan, etc., but not unparalleled. There was greatness before 1967, and there was greatness later in the '80s. And chances are, had I come of age half a generation earlier, I'd consider the age of Elvis, the Drifters, the Platters, and Bobby Darin unparalleled.
@Alikah1 Please find me a band today as dynamic and talented and unique as say Queen. Please. Just do it. NO arguement Elvis was da bomb, as were the Beatles (those were the big 2), but then right under them were the big 4....Zep, Stones, Who and Pink Floyd. The Drifters and Platters WERE paralleled. Record sales reflect this. And do you think its JUST nostalgia that allows the Eagles to command huge ticket prices some 3 decades after their time ? Its not...the Eagles were immensely talented.
@getchasumm My final word on the subject of unparalleled: three bands and three bands only- The Doors, Jimi Hendrix Experience, and Cream. And no, thre's no one today, or for that matter before or since, with a sound like any of them.But that's not to say that there weren't other pleasant sounding folks, like Fleetwood Mac, Ten Years After, Big Brother & the Holding Company, Jefferson Airplane, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and on and on and on.
@getchasumm Thanks for the comments. First of all music today is recorded digitally-it cannot sound the same as true analog tape. Even live sound boards have converters which do not have the dynamics of the original mixers of the 70's and 80's!
@gabaggyman1 I agree with you! All we have today is Christina Aguilera and Justin Bieber wanna-bes...and radio won't play anyone over the age of puberty. That's why I love my satellite radio and my I-pod. BTW...RIP Paul Davis...great voice gone too soon!
@gabaggyman1 We still have it. It is in your mind, on your stereo and thank goodness on youtube. Radio plays to the listener and lets admit it. You don't listen to the radio at 40 like you did at 15.
@gabaggyman1 because music is about mass production and money. No longer about fun and harmony or pure enjoyment. Music is slowly choking itself to death and it won't realize it until it is dead. But we'll still have this.
@gabaggyman1 ....because the idiot music producers heavily promote black music and hip hop incessantly thinking that's what people want to hear. Music producers are not geniuses - most of them are lucky to have an IQ over 70. They could make shit-loads of cash, if they would bring back the old styles and promote them as heavily as they do the other crap. Look at why "Glee" is so successful -- they play OLD music, not hip hop crap.
@bomac10000 Im sorry, but I have to disagree with you there. Music HAS inded changed. Theres no emotion in it anymore. No feeling. Nothing unique, nothing original. Its all about lookn' good..not sounding different. Lyrics are full of sex and violence. I dont hear anything original anymore. MTV has lost its vision of music and its only vision now is greed. I for one, am so happy to be part of a generation that was filled w/ not only originality of music but very talented artists.
@gabaggyman1 because the quality of life and peoples values have been destroyed real music comes from the heart and soul they say not what you can line your pocket with take rap for example what is that in my opinion it's crap it all sounds the same i can't listen to it the old values of life are gone my freind but they live on in us people like you and me god bless you !
@gabaggyman1 That is an easy one! In fact it's so easy , I feel like I'm in kindergarten. Artists today are giving into the corporate mainstream and selling out to auto-tuned robot bull crap. They care more about money than actually picking up a guitar and making good music. Apparently it's hip now to sample other artists valued work , or have some computer effects with a loud bass and that is considered ``Music''? I don't think so. Point is , this was back where artists cared about their work.
@gabaggyman1 We don't have this kind of music today because the record label executives want to serve us drivel they'd like us to believe is music...It's quite sad really. You see the old record label moguls are long gone and replaced by younger executives who'd rather push their own ideas in our faces day after day over the commercial airwaves that are basically owned by a small elitist group of networks. It's the one reason I'd rather pirate MUSIC than pay for it today!
Great song!! Thanks for posting.

For some strange reason this song reminds me of getting reacquainted with my old high school buddies on Facebook and the old memories we've had together and I feel like I'm reliving those days again!

What a great song this is and you hardly ever hear this song on the radio, I am a big fan of the adult contemporary sound that was popular in the early 80s and it's a shame that all that has changed later on in the decade, this is my favorite Paul Davis song
Doobie1975 11 months ago
Paul Davis strikes a chord with so many. Just was a soulful guy with a great voice.

I remember in 1983 cruising around in my old junked out 1964 Chevy Impala, jamming out to this tune. God I miss those days. Life sucks these days.

@JoeGriego1 - Same thing for me in '83, but I rode around in a '69 Olds Vista Cruiser (think of the exact same car Eric Forman drove on "That '70s Show")! I was 19 at the time.

Also, I think that show was about my life circa 1985. I had a basement party room, a foreigner friend (his middle name is actually FEliZidad - take all but those three letters out, you have "Fez"!), a sister much like Laurie and a friend much like Hyde.

@JoeGriego1 I could remember in 1990 cruising around in my old junked out 1974 Chevy Impala. The popularity of this song had worn out but I use to listen to oldies because that was all I could get on the AM radio which had a speaker coming up through the dash. Those were good times. Especially the summer of 1990. Though, I do remember 1983.

Pretty sure Paul also wrote or co-wrote another great song that harkens back to the 50s-60s..."Bop" by Dan Seals.

Love this song. Paul Davis was a little pissed at the record company for making him change the lyrics from '55 love affair to '65 love affair. If you listen to the lyrics it does make sense for the 50's (Since they had do-wop music then), but the record company for some reason felt that people in the 80's would like the song better if the love affair was a little more recent or some crap like that. still a great song.

@rightwinger72 Wonder if it also maybe had something to do with Bryan Adams "Summer of '69", which was a monster hit in the mid-80s?

@JimHadar1 You may be right about that.

@rightwinger72 - A better choice might've been "'59 Love Affair", but it was what it was. Just a thought.

This song is just so amazing, so awesome. Always loved this one. Takes me back to better days. This song takes me back to days of true happiness and innocence. I miss those days. My heart just aches for those days so much. What a time that was! Never to be forgotten! There was a magic in the air back then that you just cant feel today and that is a real shame. This song is pure magic in itself! Missing those days but hold the memories in my heart forever!! ☺♥

One other thing, if the 50's group led into the groundbreaking 60's era of music, then the 70's and 80's after that, why the dearth of good stuff since say 1992 ??? There is a HUGE absence of A/nything great or even good since then. Why cant you see this and admit it ?? U2 are great, but they aint new, and I'll say the Chilli Pepers are good too but they aint new either. Only Coldplay is tolerable. There, ONE freaking group of any substance, compared to the truckload-full in the 68-85 period.

Man, I simply had no idea that this was a Paul Davis song. Never would've made the connection between this and the guy who sang "I Go Crazy" and "Sweet Life".
I always thought that this was a Rick Springfield record, and that the singer was singing "65 Lover's Lane"...which I thought was a stupid phrase for the chorus. *Blush*

gabaggyman1 1 year ago 63
@gabaggyman1 - Because the kids today aren't interested in it! Even in my day something like this was probably looked upon as being too 'lame'. Many of my contemporaries were into the 'album-rock' sounds of the day (REO Speedwagon, Triumph, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Journey, Rolling Stones and the like).
thespeez 1 year ago
@gabaggyman1 For the same reason that 30 years ago, when this was new, folks from thirty years before were asking how come we don't have music like "In the Still of the Night", and other doo wop songs to listen to in the present day. The real power rests with the teenagers who buy the music, and tastes evolve, or at least change.
Alikah1 1 year ago
@Alikah1 Lame reasoning.....you have it WRONG. At the time, say in 1974, you could see in their prime, Zeppelin, the Who, the Stones and Pink Floyd. NOBODY at that time was bitching about "the current music" lacking. Today, in 2011 ?? MANY current young adults ARE complaining about the music of the day, Lady Gaga, Maroon 5, and the like. Sorry Ali, things AINT like they used to be...they SUCK now, and the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Eagles, Steely Dan, Queen, etc are NEVER coming back. Sorry.
getchasumm 1 year ago
@getchasumm Of course they were bitching. The previous generation, which grew up on Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Nat Cole, Vic Damone, Rosemary Clooney, Frankie Laine, etc., etc., considered anyone who came after Jerry Lee Lewis nothing but noise. They were wrong of course, but it's the way evolution works.
Alikah1 1 year ago
Evoultion means change. The music quality isnt changing, it has STOPPED. If you can find me anyone with the skill, attributes, talent and charisma of groups like Queen, Steely Dan, or the Eagles, to name just a few from the greatest era in music EVER, the 1970's, I will agree with you. But you cannot, cuz they aint around anymore. Its like saying someone who has stopped eating has changed his tastes in food. Just agree that the 1967-1982 era was unparalleled in music, and I'll let this go !
getchasumm 1 year ago
@getchasumm Absolutely not. I'll concede that the music was great, and I'll include other bands, such as The Kinks, Jethro Tull, Dylan, etc., but not unparalleled. There was greatness before 1967, and there was greatness later in the '80s. And chances are, had I come of age half a generation earlier, I'd consider the age of Elvis, the Drifters, the Platters, and Bobby Darin unparalleled.
Alikah1 1 year ago
@Alikah1 Please find me a band today as dynamic and talented and unique as say Queen. Please. Just do it. NO arguement Elvis was da bomb, as were the Beatles (those were the big 2), but then right under them were the big 4....Zep, Stones, Who and Pink Floyd. The Drifters and Platters WERE paralleled. Record sales reflect this. And do you think its JUST nostalgia that allows the Eagles to command huge ticket prices some 3 decades after their time ? Its not...the Eagles were immensely talented.
getchasumm 1 year ago
@getchasumm My final word on the subject of unparalleled: three bands and three bands only- The Doors, Jimi Hendrix Experience, and Cream. And no, thre's no one today, or for that matter before or since, with a sound like any of them.But that's not to say that there weren't other pleasant sounding folks, like Fleetwood Mac, Ten Years After, Big Brother & the Holding Company, Jefferson Airplane, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and on and on and on.
Alikah1 1 year ago
@getchasumm Thanks for the comments. First of all music today is recorded digitally-it cannot sound the same as true analog tape. Even live sound boards have converters which do not have the dynamics of the original mixers of the 70's and 80's!

@gabaggyman1 because music is about mass production and money. No longer about fun and harmony or pure enjoyment. Music is slowly choking itself to death and it won't realize it until it is dead. But we'll still have this.

@gabaggyman1 ....because the idiot music producers heavily promote black music and hip hop incessantly thinking that's what people want to hear. Music producers are not geniuses - most of them are lucky to have an IQ over 70. They could make shit-loads of cash, if they would bring back the old styles and promote them as heavily as they do the other crap. Look at why "Glee" is so successful -- they play OLD music, not hip hop crap.

@bomac10000 Im sorry, but I have to disagree with you there. Music HAS inded changed. Theres no emotion in it anymore. No feeling. Nothing unique, nothing original. Its all about lookn' good..not sounding different. Lyrics are full of sex and violence. I dont hear anything original anymore. MTV has lost its vision of music and its only vision now is greed. I for one, am so happy to be part of a generation that was filled w/ not only originality of music but very talented artists.

@gabaggyman1 That is an easy one! In fact it's so easy , I feel like I'm in kindergarten. Artists today are giving into the corporate mainstream and selling out to auto-tuned robot bull crap. They care more about money than actually picking up a guitar and making good music. Apparently it's hip now to sample other artists valued work , or have some computer effects with a loud bass and that is considered ``Music''? I don't think so. Point is , this was back where artists cared about their work.

@gabaggyman1 We don't have this kind of music today because the record label executives want to serve us drivel they'd like us to believe is music...It's quite sad really. You see the old record label moguls are long gone and replaced by younger executives who'd rather push their own ideas in our faces day after day over the commercial airwaves that are basically owned by a small elitist group of networks. It's the one reason I'd rather pirate MUSIC than pay for it today!
