For those who don't know...this is Robin Thickes mother.

[jvglion]

Classic

[fyte4luv808]

holyfuck... so timeless....so perfect.

[chazzeroo1967]

I Wonder if an official video exist of this 1986 hit?

[dms1016]

one the best songs i heard in a long time!

[MultiChicatto]

HOT 100 BILLBOARD 1986.Do you remember? 

[BlueHoundDog]

Saw it on family guy, just played it for my girlfriend :D

[RaquelDJose]

Gloria Loring is Robin Thicke's mother.

[shane18475]

@Bmorejay i like family guy and think its hilarious but sorry Chris Griffin did not do better than this.....nor did Herbert

[gwhat23]

Beautiful song, thanks Family Guy for reminding me.

[Futur3guy]

I hate when the top comments are the same.

[cheapcape]

@Bmorejay nope ,this is the original kid

[larf50]

This is one of my favorites. Does any one know who wrote the music and lyrics?

[gigglesinpa]

@larf50 Artists; Gloria Loring and Carl Anderson - peak Billboard position # 2 in 1986 -Words and Music by Paul Gordon and Jay Gruska

[xh34dsh0tk1ngx]

thumbs up if you heard this from family guy

[juniorz1]

How GREAT is it to watch Gloria Loring sing? And no, Chris Griffin didn't do it better

[cheapcape]

@juniorz1 Agreed, these teenagers know nothing about good music, just stupid shit on TFG, lolz!

[DaveWollenberg]

You meant #1 AC, right? Gloria and Carl hit #2 pop, in Billboard. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! RIP, Carl.

[tokongjhongkie1]

this song makes me back to my younger age

[LordChristan1]

hate that hair do

[Shaddow1966]

Gloria was married to Alan Thicke of Growing Pains fame, and with the fact they have kids together are still friends even after their divorce.

[Ironjagg]

and so once again im here cos of family guy

[xxSn1p3rH4kzxx]

i want this song sung at my wedding :D

[lordon18]

i met carl at VA...very kind

[whtstar4]

Hey read, don't laugh at this. Just do it! Start thinking of something you really really want, because this is astonishing. The person who sent this said their wish came true after 10 minutes they read the mail, so I thought what the heck! You have been visited by Dr Suesss the cat in the hat, he will grant you with one wish, make your wish when the countdown is over. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 MAKE A WISH! if you send this to 10 videos within the hour, your wish will come true

[DaveWollenberg]

Do ya mean #1 AC, 'cause it hit #2 pop in Billboard, 9-27-86. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! RIP, Carl!

[leslieberger]

I still get goosebumps when I hear this song

[MrChicago891]

Can someone please tell me how this did on the charts? I know it was pretty big in the summer of '86. I can't understand why in the world we don't hear this anymore. Lite stations have totally given over to Michael Buble and stuff that would have been considered mainstream pop back in our day (God, I can't believe I'm old enough to use phrase "in our day"). Also, was there an actual video to this song?

[planetrockford]

Class acts both.

[BoodroWhat]

@planetrockford she's white. The league ftw.

[planetrockford]

@BoodroWhat The meaning of your message totally passed me by?

[BoodroWhat]

@planetrockford Sportscasters call black athletes "Class Acts" while white athletes are called gym rats or scrappy players. She's white so she's not a "Class Act"

[planetrockford]

@BoodroWhat Ok thanks for this information which is new to me as a Norwegian, 'ftw' is still a mystery though.

[ItBrandonSilver]

Nah, they were both racists.

[tracydukeplump]

@ItBrandonSilver Who was a racist?

[pharmerhobbs]

I had my first slow dance and first kiss to this song in 7th grade. Thanks for the awesome memories.

[ElephantDrunk]

check 2:58 in, the singing dont match with the audio.

[ghislaine1983]

Forgot about this song till I watched VH1's top 100 One Hit Wonders. Don't watch much VH1 but glad I did cause this song is the JAM!!!

[LAWoman323213]

@ghislaine1983 Same here. I remember this song from my childhood, but had forgotten all about it until that VH1 program...and (I hate to admit it) "Family Guy".

[gameshowluvr86]

Classic, CLASSIC pop/r&b ballad of the '80s... If it took an episode of Family Guy to bring you here, then you obviously have no taste in good music. That is all...

[gameshowluvr86]

Did any R&B stations ever play this song?

[ebonijayde]

For those who don't know this is Robin Thicke's mother.

[KTKSOStudios08]

I like the family guy version, sung by Chris and Herbert the pervert.

[0727shadow]

i love this song!

[sean19771]

carl can really blow

[saleens3514me]

when dick clark asked carl that question at the end why didnt carl answer with his own mic???

[chepe326]

That nigga ashy az hell. Suprised hes still alive singing next to a white woman. Dis jam reminds me of when i dated my best friend in college =/

[robbiou]

@chepe326 Carl Anderson died from Leukemia in 2004.

[cheech37]

Gloria Loring needs to put this CD back on the market!

[1971SuperLead]

This song brings back some seriously fond memories.

[therantingboy]

Chris Griffin

[GagaIsAMonster]

@therantingboy ....And Herbert! :)

[tlatrice13]

wow!!!! i didn't know that the guy was black! i also didn't know this was a duet.

[unicorns7272]

back when music was good and tv was something to watch

[ponnef]

among the 40 biggest Duets of All time by Billboard :"friends and Lovers" is number 30 ,I love it!

[maupac0720]

beautiful song

[malong21]

I LOVE this song sooooo much, thanks for posting it :-)

[L0zz0]

Family Guy ftw

[neptoon021]

@L0zz0 haha... i looked this song up after i watched that family guy episode... "we don't have to be one or the other"

[EmpressakaQT]

i fuly searchd dis coz dey sang it on family guy 2 hear d real version..beautiful .

[KAT0MARU]

omfg I didn't know Olbama sings!!!!???

[eFreak23]

This was my first dance with my husband at our wedding 24 years ago.

[DaveWollenberg]

Billboard's #13 song of '86. Gloria and Carl hit #1 AC, #2 pop, in Billboard. Definitely better than the version by Eddie Rabbitt & Juice Newton. Their version kept changin' keys through the whole song. God bless! RIP, Carl!

[bugeys]

i played this for my girl i was in love with .and we have been togther for 16 years the 24 for this dec

[gravelandgrain100]

What a blast from the past. Didn't Gloria Loring leave "days of our Lives" to pursue her singing career?? Things have changed so much in our world, if Family Guy or Days of our Lives brought you here, bless you-cuz beautiful music has a way of never going out of style.

[newstarcadefan]

@gravelandgrain100 Oh don't forget she sang the theme to the Facts of Life...from season 2 onwards.

[gravelandgrain100]

@newstarcadefan -

I like totally forgot that!! That's right, another great show. The 80's were something special!

[coltonbolton41]

I love the one finger grab at 2:47 hahahaha

[TriniBuoy]

@coltonbolton41 thats the "friend" part...they later get it on back stage, lol

[MztDare]

Omg..This is beautiful. Heard this on Family Guy, think I'm gonna cry.

[Heartboy1031]

One of (if not) the best duets of all time. She also co- wrote & sang the theme song to the 80's classic 'The Facts of Life'. "You Take The Good...You Take The Bad.."

[LaCortaSirena]

@Amity197111 You know what, I can't blame you. Music from my era is generally shallow and questionable, often going on over-sexualised tangents and the "high life". I mean there are a handful of artists or bands out there that are still deserving of the recognition, but still... I'd rather be born in the 80s, when music was still music, when Pop was actually about having good fun, and not "drankin'" and "mo' money".

I'd recommend Robin's earliest album. The new ones are ok. He's more R&B though.

[LaCortaSirena]

@Amity197111 I was talking about Robin Thicke, their son. Not Alan Thicke. That would be illogical and quite disturbing.

Robin Thicke was initially known as just "Thicke" in his early musical years.

[Trivok]

Chris Griffin brought me here

[poetgrande08]

Wow...just plain LOVELY.

[LaCortaSirena]

I'm so glad this is Thicke's mum.

[KutingTalun]

Exceedingly Beautiful.

[mutterpukker]

It's Judas!!

[Free2BeCG1]

Thanks for Replying Back--I'm Terribly Sorry to Hear That :(( He Left Us With A Sheer Classic, RIP Carl!

[scremisio]

This is our wedding song and I still LOVE it all these years later...

[magictouch84]

@bunnykins2308 ouuuuch just doesn't cut it anymore it's worse :-( Always remember xxxxx

[denko83x]

anyone know the guitar tab for this? i really wanna do a real gay cover tbh :O

[Alikah1]

Carl Anderson is gone about five years. He was living for some time with leukemia and I assume that was the cause of death.

[blackgirlanimefan15]

i saw this on VH1 classic on the100 greatest one hit wonders of the 80s and i immideatly fell in love with it...also i heard it on family guy so i was lik whoooa thats kool!!!lol

[tumidme]

Yeah same for me i was watching Family Guy an i just fell in love with this song so i had to find it

[AdaminOhio]

It was from "Days of our Lives'. Gloria Loring played Liz Curtis who was married to Don and I think before that, Neal.

[shanwrit]

A CLASSIC!!! From what soap opera?

[discodancer1234]

@shanwrit Days of Our Lives

[Carescent]

I love this song so much that it makes my heart sing!

[Leavewellenough]

Can't say that I agree with this....telling a friend that you want to hold them, can ruin your friendship....I did it, we made love and was awkward ever since...now I miss my friend.

[crv200808]

@Leavewellenough Then I'm sorry to say...that truly was not a friend. If you were true

friends...you should be able to laugh at what you both did...Don't do it again and truly enjoy..your friendship

[SunriseSub]

@crv200808 I don't think that he/she wasn't a true friend, sometimes, it's hard to be friend after sex, it changes things, I don't care how good of a friend you are. That's like being in a relationship then breaking up, and saying "we can be friends" It never works out.

[karltondavis81]

so thats where robin thicke got his voice from...good genetics

[paulandlesson]

Glad you let me know.  Tell me more,

[lskeller120]

I haven't heard this song in years.

[Evilstewie831]

family guy Chris griffin

[MisterCrazyLegs]

just a pretty, pretty song....and strangely enuf, the melody pulls at my heartstrings the same way that "Just You adn I", by Eddie Rabbit and Gayle, does....there must be similar chords in both songs or something, cuz Im almost inclined to think that there both one in the same, when I hear 'em. Carl was a great flat footed singer and Gloria REALLY stepped up her game, next to Anderson. I'll always like this song, no matter what..

[greenevy]

shane and kimberly days of our lives yea liz chandler lol

[paulandlesson]

I was Carl Anderson's east coast guitarist, he was from VA. The original Judas (A.L.Weber). Spent many nights at the Lynchburg Raddisson, eating sushi at 3 a.m. He used to call me his "little white guitarist", his brother discovered me playing for a beauty padgent at age 17, phoned Carl and we were friends until his death. I was watching family guy last night the song brought back memories and a few tears. RIP Carl

[Evilstewie831]

@paulandlesson im sorry to here that man, i hope you feel okay, he was a great singer and this song brought me and my girlfriend together were going to get married after college. i hope your feeling ok.

[Free2BeCG1]

@paulandlesson : I'm So Sorry To Hear That Carl Andersong Passed, Such A Lovely Song That Both Him And Gloria Loring Made. What Did He Passed of If You Don't Mind Me Asking?

[San47di1]

@Free2BeCG1 Sadly, Carl Anderson succumbed to leukemia , which he had been fighting for a few years

[Free2BeCG1]

@San47di1 : Thanks for Replying Back--I'm Terribly Sorry to Hear That :(( He Left Us With A Sheer Classic, RIP Carl!

[notcoolenough94]

Lol i found this song out from family guy pretty good

[perpetual61]

Carl Anderson was in the 1973 Movie Musical " Jesus Christ Superstar " where he played Judas. He sadly Passed away on February 23, 2004 from leukemia

[gbitm]

One of my all time favs. Amazing song, amazing vocals, amazing passion and feeling.

[Timesobserver]

One of the best songs ever!

[Immerghensi]

the family guy one is funny ^-^

the guy in this song is pretty good...

[phaldaz]

@omnyra R.I.P <3

[MeMa2EmilyJ]

This was our Wedding Song 23 years ago August 22

[twilightanimefan]

this song is a tearbreaker...its really good

[gangoolie68]

Carl Anderson can really sing - he makes this song seem so easy!!

[p8anut]

Thats robin thickes Momma

[toshav1]

now its called friend with benifits

[karykares]

@toshav1 lol



[scrowfan41]

Sooooo Many Memories here. Than you for posting.

[Rocketjay12]

She is very beautiful. No wonder Robin Thicke is so handsome.

[shadowjuls]

This one of my favorite songs. Days of Our Lives ha brought Kim and Shane back. Would love to hear again. I went to Salem , OR just to hear Gloria sing there.

[1EPowerUp]

kinda awkward for her, being a racist and all. just sayin.

[devancedonita]

@1EPowerUp Wow, trouble if she is because little Thicke Jr surely went for the chocolate! Lol!

[DCfan4life]

They sound really good. The only reason why I know this song is because Chris Griffen from "Family Guy" sang it with that old guy on the episode where Peter finds out he's father's not really his real dad.

-Bruce

[perpetual61]

Gloria Loring is Robin Thicke's Mother.

[Kittylight2008]

memories all over the place. Kimberly and Shane

[DRGAS339]

man this song brings back memory's

[DaveWollenberg]

Like this version better than Eddie and Juice's. Carl's and Gloria's didn't keep changin' keys. Hit #1 AC, #2 pop, #54 soul in Billboard. RIP, Carl. God bless!

[Lynnie245]

This is an amazing song - Days of Our Lives used to have a lot of singing entertainment and Gloria was one of the best......as was the show!!!!!

[SillabubPickycola]

I love Carl Anderson.

[Jentheledge]

omg !!!! i can remember her on DOOL's sing this !!! omg !!! the camera swapping to everyone looking at each other and ppl on their own omg so dramatic !!!!

did mickey's dog die ?

[gamekid55]

what show is this performance from?

[MiamiViceScott]

American Bandstand

[wardhmd]

" Sometimes you think you've gotten over a person, but when you see her smile you suddenly realize you're just pretending you're over her to ease the pain of knowing that she will never be yours."

[rhymeister]

R.I.P. Carl Anderson, what an incredible voice.

[princessjerseygirl04]

@rhymeister CARL WAS THE BEST

[JENBETH5]

LOVE Carl Anderson ! he was Judis in Jesus christ superstar!

[Defensewhiz]

Wish they were singing it live instead of lip synching, but still an awesome song.

[Genetxt]

are they really sing lips sing?? are they not the original singers???

[Defensewhiz]

@Genetxt yes, they are the original singers of the song...Gloria and Carl, BUT they are lip synching to their own recording of it...it's a farily common avenue for shows like Solid Gold, American Bandstand, etc.

[trickyvickyb1]

Beautiful song..and their voices compliment each other so well..<3

[nathanjones14]

Carl anderson is a great singer!!!

[babystinky]

CarL Anderson, was the greatest singer on the planet bar none. I love him and John Lennon for pure vocals.

[fingletoad]

One of the very best love songs ever performed. Thank you for posting.

[gravelandgrain100]

I love this song, so 80's. If you go back to the nightime and daytime soap operas of the 1980's-look at the women. I mean really look, they look like real women-not men or straight out of prison with tattoos and muffin tops.

Maybe we can go back to that time, but very unlikely.

[princessjerseygirl04]

i saw last night that this was a one hit wonder! Whatever!

[dog1010]

One of the all out timeless love songs out there.

Literally a classic.

[Tameeka109]

This song is one of the best soap songs ever recored,,its the best

[alaskalove76]

great song

[Saphirechevy]

Honors for this video, wherever it can be found....

[fingletoad]

This is my absolute fave love song and Care, may you rest in peace, taken far too soon, God bless.

[mmeadows03]

now I know why robin thicke is such a talent guy, with gloria loring as mom and alan thicke (80s sitcom actor) as dad.

[Sakkara1331]

she's Alan Thicke's ex wife and Robin Thicke;s mother (she's not old enough to be Alan Thicke's mother)

[Sakkara1331]

I loved this song back in the 80s when it first came out, it's timeless, but then again, great love songs always are.

[jacintajordan]

Absolutely beautiful song :). Brings back so much memories for me. Thanks for uploading ;)

[ooto7000]

looks like they did really make love

[Saphirechevy]

This man is so beautiful.

[jennifercdiva1]

Now i know where Robin Thicke got his voice- his mama! cool

[WhiteLies671]

searched this after watchin family guy !! xD

[UTFan666]

Did you guys know this is the same guy that played Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar?

I never knew who sang this song till now. I saw him and was blown away to find out he was the male part of this song. This guy has a great voice.

[xXmongerXx]

family guy sent me here

[EneryDrinkz]

It was also number 91 on the one hit wonders program for the 80's.

[GRINDZ440]

Robin Thicke's mom!

[876fresh]

@GRINDZ440 reallly?? damn never knew!

big song!
