I was rought 1 year old in 1965. There were amazing things going on then. Meanwhile, this remenisence by Paul Davis was hot in 1982 when I was in high school. The whole vibe of the tune struck a chord with me. Anyway, R.I.P, Paul Davis. We miss you.
wow... the actual video for this song!! I love it.. I remember seeing this on MTV. What fond memories. I've always loved Paul Davis' voice. RIP Paul!! and thank you for uploading this video!
@frankconjr They did come back in the '80s and may come back again, but it will just never be the same! We can only commemorate what we've accomplished and must adjust to new protocols whether we like them or not.
WOW!!! Great video. As far as the record company changing the title from 55 to 65 Love Affair; what a great idea; otherwise videos of Shea Stadium (opened in 1964) would have made no sense. Too bad Paul left us prematurely. R.I.P.; your music lives forever.
Paul R.I.P. Your songs bring so much joy to so many people. I hear this song and it reminds me of so many good memories. No matter how many troubles I have I can always escape to the 65 love affair, thnx!
I was born in 81, but I always loved this song. Never get tired of hearing it when it's played. I don't know why. Maybe it reminds me of my father. He graduated class of 65 from Vineland H.S. in in Vineland, NJ. Unfortunately he passed away in 2006. We all miss him so much
@gop4usa12 And we now have Terrorism, Irag, Afghanistan, Pakistan, racial tension, need anyone say more? I was 15 and still have vivid memories and this song brings joy!
As a child of the 1980s, I really liked this song. Now having seen its video in my late 30s, I'm not so sure. Or at least it seems Paul Davis made a politically conservative statement with it. From :00 - :05 we see jiggly, nubile & perky lily-white girls dancing wildly transitioning to African tribesmen doing their own dance. I think this is symBOlism for the achievement of integration coming out of the turbulent civil rights movement having led to "jungle fever"; degradation of white culture
From :08-:14 - "If I could go back again, WELL I KNOW I'D NEVER LET YOU GO" is juxtaposed against footage of a young black male being lead away by a gun toting police officer, probably after "civil unrest" so common down South during the civil rights movement. Followed by parade marchers in colonial garb, it adds up to African slaves never having been granted freedom if the video maker "could go back again". Next: Is that a GAY KISS followed by #10 on kicking team and a muff by #30 on receiving?
The #10 football jersey punts at :19. Jersey #84 on the receiving team--who appears to be BALTIMORE COLTS tight end Jim 'BUCKy' MUTScHELLer (b. Mar. 31, 1930 in BEAVER FALLs, BEAVER County, PA) watches the flight of the ball from the sideline, apparently at MemoriAL Stadium in BALTIMORE. The good OL' "OL" painted in the end zone appears to be part of "cOLts", seen behind the #30 jersey who muffs the punt. A muffed punt following a gay kiss + a "simple & clear" POLICE line hints at GAY resistance
BALTIMORE COLTS tight end Jim 'BUCKy' MUTScHELLer probably has proper name JAMES. His Mar. 31, 1930 birth in BEAVER FALLs, BEAVER County, PA fits nicely with a GAY KISS followed by his watching a MUFFed punt since MUFF is slang for vagINA. Apparently the BEATLES at :34; "I still can hear" followed by a heterosexual kiss at :40. "Female Sexual Emancipation"; more wild dancing and MEN WITH LONGNECK bottles in front of WARNer sign hints at population control message. GALE FERRIS at :52 Chi-town
Paul LAVON DAVIS was born APR. 21, 1948. He died one day past his 60th birthday and on the 14th anniversary of the death of 37th U.S. prez, RICHARD milHOUS Nixon (567-68-0515): APR. 22, 2008. It's unrelated to LAVONNE L. KEY (244-19-8263); hands behind-the-back eating contests (ice cream, grapeFRUIT) in the early 1980s when "65 Love Affair" was getting significant airplay, or Caesar. Davis was born and died in the seat of Lauderdale County, Mississippi: Meridian. The county has Interstate 20

This video posted to YouTube on AUG. 15, 2007. It's unrelated to 250-62-7325, but in light of NFL BALTIMORE COLTS footage being used in this video, the date was the 38th birthday of NFL WR Yancey dIRK Thigpen (Winston-Salem State), who was born in Tarboro--the seat of edgeCOMBe County, NC, witch is served by U.S. Highway 258. An "Adopt A Highway" sign in memory of 244-19-8263 can be seen along a country road intersecting U.S. 258. NFL RB Reggie Bush would probably like the jet backpack at 1:41
U.S. Hwy. 258 is a spur of U.S. Hwy. 58, which runs through South BOSTON, VA. Unrelated: 2004’s race for president or Democrat John Forbes kERRY being nominated in BOSTON; ridiculous, idle "a life in politics" themes from the middle school 1980s; or residence in Tarboro, edgeCOMBe County, NC. Remember, "flip-flopper" kERRY on IRAq: "I actually did vote for the $87 billion, before I voted against it". Unrelated: the class of 1987. Bush commander, Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian also marked the race
Spring 1981? I think because I was very young and we went to visit my grandparents in Columbus Ohio and went to see Raiders of the Lost Ark and this song was playing on the radio on the way there.
The '60s are to the Boomers to what the '80s are to Generation X. There was a lot of nostalgia for the '60s in the '80s; with all those Beatle reissues on CD, movies like The Big Chill, Good Morning Vietnam, comebacks of '60s stars like The Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, Roy Orbison, The Beach Boys; I view the '60s as a "grandfathered nostalgia" point; so many books have been published about this decade, and to understand the '80s, you often need to understand the '60s and '70s roots/origins.
I hear this song a lot of a local station who often plays top 40 from pretty much any decade. Gyod this song came out before I was even in first grade.
Once in a while when I would hear old broadcasts of top 40 from say like 80 or 81, it blows me away how much music has changed in the years.
Paul Davis, before his other big hits "Cool Night" and "I Go Crazy", was known for playing/singing Peter on the original album cast recording of "Jesus Christ Superstar".
I remember this song playing at the indoor Ice Skating Arena in Fairlane Town Center Mall in Dearborn Michigan back when I was 14 picking up girls at the mall with my friends LOL
I REALLY loved this song and still do! It's one of the best of the 80s. I don't know if this is the real video, but I love it too. BTW, I think the girl snapping her fingers at 1:19 is soooo cute! What a pretty face she has! I also love that woman dancing in that trance at 2:00. What a 60s moment captured on film! That smiling astronaut is a nice image too. I was not alive in the 60s but what a nostalgic tribute to this time.
This song brings up a really good concept, that of an affair/fling that when you think back on it, you wonder if it would have actually gone somewhere had you approached it in some other way. I know I have a few of those in my memory, and I'm sure most others probably do as well.
Granted, mine happened a little while after 1965, but I can still relate.
Man, I could remember back in the day this song was aired practically every hour. But since then, no matter what 80's tribute, this song seemed to had vanished. Glad I was able to finally track it down. Thanks for uploading it along with this tasteful video montage.
@Turanga1i1a You are right, it's amazing what songs survive over time. I think of this one and others and I am like "am I the only one that remembered this one."
@Turanga1i1a That's so true! I loved this song when it was a hit back in the day! But I hadn't heard it in YEARS until I came across it here! There are alot of songs like that it seems! They were huge hits and played until they were about worn out it seemed! But no matter what 80's show you listen to now a days, they are no where to be found! That's a real shame too!
@Turanga1i1a Yeah radio stations tend to stick to 1984 and past when doing 80's tributes, annoying but if you really listen this music has a very 70's sound to it. If you catch my drift.
@Turanga1i1a a lot of times a tune that was a big hit in its day is hardley ever heard on the radio again. Who ever owns the rights is sitting on it for some reason.....or they want too much royalities.....or the song is embroiled in some legal tangle
OMG, I had totally forgotten he did this one! This song played all the time my senior year in college. I loved it! I remember the whole song by heart. What gr8 memories!
got to love vids like this so much said in the vid. a good time to be alive...not the 80;s(best time0 but a good time none the less thanks fro a blast from the past
This was a nice job! Love the B&W footage, and always have. Few things we could have done without would be the Palm Sunday tornado outbreak..and Vietnam..but we soldier on anyway :-)
I was a cheerleader-wow. Wish I could have married Paul and lived happily ever after. I express my sincere sadness to his wife and children. I pray to meet him in heaven and cheer to this song.
For those of you who say the video doesn't go with the song.....the scenes shown were from life in 1965. Things were much different back then. Even being five years old then I can recognize the scenes for what they are. It's good to try to know what was happening in 1965, then you can understand why the creator of the video did it the way they did.
I really appreciate your expert analysis of a what you call a modern day "music video" You really should get paid for your work. Try wikipedia for starters, they could use a resource like you...bud.
Wow so much drama for such a simple song. Probably the reason why most of the footage has nothing to do with the song or the video is because back in 81, all this stuff was on 1000's of reel to reel tapes. Technology wasn't at someones finger tips to just do a simple search and find shit that's my guess.
Anyways I was like 8 when this came out and I thought this song was about someone's age not the year.
lots of early-mid 60's sports/cheerleader cuts came from inside the newly opened Houston Astrodome...but not all.
(opening football sequence outside, not sure where,,,as well as late baseball homer, not sure stadium, as well as last scene the crowd onto the field,,,again not sure stadium...
at 2:16 was actually filmed at the 1966 University of Texas shootings when Charles Joseph Whitman shot at people from the tower and the police are running to the scene.
I remember this era. Fashion was great, cars were great, food tasted better and homemade, women were beautiful and not plastic looking like today, music was much better.
I can tell you were raised by someone who loved those segregation years. Hmmm? It's too late to want to be separated from the people your people brought over because they needed someone to do the labor to support their greed and lusts and once they were freed from the horror of slavery were beat, hanged/lynched, spit on, and oppressed more because your people no longer could legally raped the women and make the money to feed their greed. You are happy and no one can change that. Have a nice day!
tammy, i wish we could go back some time, i know the way you feel about me, i wish we can express ourselves & show each other how we really feel . please remind me once in a while. love always stew xx oo

Love this song! Just went hunting 80s songs and you're right, Turanga1i1a... It's like this song jumped off the map. Great tune!

@Turanga1i1a You are right, it's amazing what songs survive over time. I think of this one and others and I am like "am I the only one that remembered this one."

@Turanga1i1a That's so true! I loved this song when it was a hit back in the day! But I hadn't heard it in YEARS until I came across it here! There are alot of songs like that it seems! They were huge hits and played until they were about worn out it seemed! But no matter what 80's show you listen to now a days, they are no where to be found! That's a real shame too!

@Turanga1i1a Yeah radio stations tend to stick to 1984 and past when doing 80's tributes, annoying but if you really listen this music has a very 70's sound to it. If you catch my drift.

@Turanga1i1a a lot of times a tune that was a big hit in its day is hardley ever heard on the radio again. Who ever owns the rights is sitting on it for some reason.....or they want too much royalities.....or the song is embroiled in some legal tangle

For those of you who say the video doesn't go with the song.....the scenes shown were from life in 1965. Things were much different back then. Even being five years old then I can recognize the scenes for what they are. It's good to try to know what was happening in 1965, then you can understand why the creator of the video did it the way they did.

this song is so good- reminds me of my brother of the sixties! He had a rock band and kicked some ass back then! Good, good tune....!

Wow so much drama for such a simple song. Probably the reason why most of the footage has nothing to do with the song or the video is because back in 81, all this stuff was on 1000's of reel to reel tapes. Technology wasn't at someones finger tips to just do a simple search and find shit that's my guess.
Anyways I was like 8 when this came out and I thought this song was about someone's age not the year.

clip note...
lots of early-mid 60's sports/cheerleader cuts came from inside the newly opened Houston Astrodome...but not all.
(opening football sequence outside, not sure where,,,as well as late baseball homer, not sure stadium, as well as last scene the crowd onto the field,,,again not sure stadium...

I can tell you were raised by someone who loved those segregation years. Hmmm? It's too late to want to be separated from the people your people brought over because they needed someone to do the labor to support their greed and lusts and once they were freed from the horror of slavery were beat, hanged/lynched, spit on, and oppressed more because your people no longer could legally raped the women and make the money to feed their greed. You are happy and no one can change that. Have a nice day!
