Dan Hill & Corinne Plomish - Can't We Try (1987)

[ralfbuschmeyer]

Hello everyone. My goodness. Thank you so much for all of your kind remarks. Really...thank you. Regards...Corinne Plomish

[ssjjc1]

I grewup on these songs, now my i find them on my 11yr old's playlist...AWESOME!!!

[petddrextreme]

i love you papa dan hill!



[timothybsigler]

Ms. Plomish sang the song beautifully and was a very beautiful woman too. I can imagine being Dan and singing this song to such a beautiful lady....

[iqcfem]

i love this song too :))

Dan hill songs are great to listen to

[ycotomusakiful]

But Hill sung it originally with vonda-' i corre

[vinyl2cd]

No, it's been confirmed, the female singer is Corinne Plomish

[SarahCurle85]

@vinyl2cd You are correct! Her name is Corinne Plomish. She is a wonderful and amazing woman! I know her personally, she is one of my dearest friends! I sing a lot of her songs that she has written. If you go to my youtube page, listen to "Baby's Got A Heartache", she wrote that tune for me. And I sing many more of hers. I am currently making an album, and I am putting about 7 of her tunes on my album.

[ycotomusakiful]

*Vonda i mean

[ycotomusakiful]

Is it Voda Sheppard?

[ralfbuschmeyer]

Hello All...My name is Corinne Plomish and I am the vocalist in this video. I toured with Dan Hill for many years, sang and played keyboards in his band. And yes...we did lip sync to the track...that's what they did on Solid Gold way back when. Everything was pre-recorded. And yes...my teeth were very large. But they look very nice now as I had them straightened. To the lovely person who defended the "looks" aspect of the performance, I thank you. I'm on Facebook for info regarding my career. xo

[chrism76]

Although I like my hips my hips don't lie... Songs like these outclass them by a lightyear! :)

[LILYZURIEL]

WOOOOOOOOOOWWW!!! THIS SONG IS JUST SIMPLY AMAZING! I MISS SO MUCH THIS TIMES... I WISH I CAN GO BACK IN TIME! :-(

[chrism76]

@LILYZURIEL You and me both!

[6478870992]

What a pre4mance... they both used real vocal

talents and the power of Mr. Hill's eyes in this per4mance is heart stopping!

[dtrixie2008]

this video is with Corinne plomish !!! not Vonda



[davidh2626]

The voice is Vonda Shepard ; the woman here is not , they are lip syncing

[aenimawb]

those teeth look like they came from a tigers mouth!!!!!!

[DolcheGuevara]

VONDA SHEPARD

[fortunequitter]

I really miss you special ko. =(

[madramakah]

@fortunequitter miss u to special ko hehehe joke lang..

[fortunequitter]

@madramakah nakikisalo sa cheesy moments oh... haha

[MsHatesHaters]

Sounds like Vonda but looks like a different woman than another video which was credited to Dan and Vonda. As it was a duet, whoever she is really deserved and intro as well as Dan.

[mikeknight4u]

The awesome 80's. When we still had the hair to do big hair styles......

[pinkucherrygirl88]

Her name is Vonda Shepard.

[honydoer1]

@pinkucherrygirl88

If you look up the song and look at the duet with Dan Hill and Vonda Shepard, you will see that she looks much different. For one thing, Vonda has much larger lips.

[scott992008]

for me its not vonda,if you'll gonna check the music video,you will see



[twilight604]

Uh yeah that is Vonda Sheppard

[pfenix14]

@twilight604 Vonda Sheppard that used to perform on Ally McBeal? No way that's her. It looks nothing like her.

[1900zack]

that aint vonda

[iamreverieg]

it's lipped. tsss.

[mike99051]

I disagree with the earlier post. She's not Rique Franks. That sounds like Vonda Shepard's voice.

[GaryHMan]

All you nitwits that worry about looks and teeth should probably knock it the hell off. The music's the thing. Are you (bleeps) perfect in every way??!!

[ponnef]

one of the songs of my life!

[Jannsmith]

The woman who announced the two should've included Vonda Shepard in the introduction :) Great song from 1987!

[lawman722]

thats one ugly girl...looks like a crackhead...vonda hill so much prettier

[TheMariarebecca]

love this song..had my first boyfriend we tried harder but things didn't work out..

[PatrickMoranBSD]

3 people couldn't try harder.

[PatrickMoranBSD]

3 people couldn't try harder.

[missnikkidoll]

Darn it! I mean WAY too funny...

[missnikkidoll]

BTW: What a beautiful song! Dan Hill was a sexy man!

[missnikkidoll]

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!! Wat too funny what "The Williambinder" said!!! .... "The teeth on that chick... yikes----she could eat con on the cob through a picket fence..." Lmao!!!! .... And sooo true!

[Mlasavage]

I really love this video ... Who is the Girl .... I think she is really and don't think she is lip syncing it ....

[joemjackson]

Well I listened to the original just before this and I'm sure it's lipsyncing

[brotherluke1]

hahaha lip sync!

[seanwalrus]

lcan you try another lipsync?

[pengyou19]

the girl looks like lady gaga..hahah

[TheWilliambinder]

The teeth on that chick....yikes---she could eat corn on the cob through a picket fence....

[franco7yz]

Bruttissima canzone!

[MaximNovitskiy]

Santa Barbara soap opera soundtrack!  so beautiful!

[MrDarwinBerones]

The girl is not Vonda Shepard. It's Rique Franks.. Dan Hill did two collaborations of this one.. The original version is of course w/ Vonda Shepard and the other one is w/ Rique Franks here in this video

[tribulation138]

i think dan hill is 1/8 black

[KRT0925]

@tribulation138

Dan Hill's father was a black man



[18leoa]

Essa música marcou minha vida... Nossa amo as músicas do Dan Hill

[daveob94513]

great song, brings back many GOOD and then sad memories..........Wish I could go back and have done the right thing maybe things could have turned out different.

[willy7369]

1987 had the best woman of my life during that summer..... 

[lateriona]

love it

[guscla]

Vonda Sheppard

[pgbruiser]

That guy Dan Hill is one ugly dude. What the fuck is wrong with him. On the closeup at 1:26 he looks like a crazed creepy weirdo. Yikes!!!

[Wayneman117]

Man,hes locked in on the camera.

[fondness1012]

Pure result of crack cocaine!!

[bgmiller5]

@choice2099 I think they were both airheads.

[choice2099]

GEICO. 15 minutes of two-hitter fame could save you 15% on your car insurance.

[NorthStar20121]

For the record, Dan Hill is not the Geico Caveman.

[471968able]

damn! loved Dan Hill's voice.....

[bluerayaj]

The biatch girl, forgot to introduce Vonda. Fail.

[choice2099]

@bluerayaj Marilyn McCoo was a bit of an airhead, but damn she was hot!

[ldolphin34]

How come they didn't introduce Vonda Shepard? Her vocal sells this song as much as the Hill lyrics.

[daveheel]

@ldolphin34 that's not vonda. you can check out the music video for vonda.

[ldolphin34]

@daveheel You're right. Found a transcript for Solid Gold and it only lists the woman as a "stand-in". Still a mystery. They lip-synched the record.

[Latz51]

Total lip-synch. . Love the '80's outfit on her. Also Marilynn McCoo is a total babe and always will be.

[almabinarao]

two of my favorite singers.... love there songs

[mjvillanueva29]

geico caveman?whatever,it's not about the looks duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!it,s THE TALENT

[josephstrahan]

Is that the GEICO caveman?

[B398]

I don't think she is lip-singing. I am familiar with Vonda's voice. The Lady singer's voice not as solid but good enough... I would say better than celine's version. Dan did look creepy back then.

[victoria38381]

he as a sexy voice

[rina27able]

love this song 

[leebradbury1990]

King of the middle 8 / bridge

[prowler1and2]

one of the best duet i ever watched....

[nbky3xe]

Shannon! Let's keep trying! I don't want our love to fade away!!

[MrKristan7]

love that song!

[berdegdugo]

is that Vonda Shepard??? seems to far from their music video

[IrishTracy]

@berdegdugo I don't think that's Vonda Shepard. The tv show Solid Gold everyone lip synched. Maybe thats why they didn't give her name.

[astolenheart]

its like he staring down at my soul!! but awesome song

[alaska4041]

nice voice...

[roguehawkfan]

Dan always had a wierd look..almost like a musical Charles Manson

[lenazhu58]

love this song..... but its a bit slow

[Glinkberle]

because she's white on a black show in 1987

[Doriestwins]

i love Dan but he had a creepy look that day!LOL

[annisa929]

@Doriestwins he did have a creepy look!!! LMBO!!!!!

[ROLLGRAB]

@Doriestwins SCARED ME WITH THOSE EYES!!!

[VandenbergSykesCampb]

@Doriestwins

lol your sister

[Federerfan22]

Why are they lipsynching? Is performing live so difficult? Maybe a noob question, but I just don't know.

[macmarv510]

she is wearing that dress go whoever

[mcarps7]

Why did Marilyn ignore Vonda in the intro? Great song and vocals by both.

[Delta191]

Because that's not Vonda. Dan sang this song with someone different everytime he did a television performance. That's why they are lip synching. That and because it's Solid Gold, there was alot of lip synching on there.

[mcarps7]

Who was she then and is that her voice?

[lisasboogies]

Vonda shepard = ally mcbeal...lol!!! yay!

[BlackshiroFirewolf]

it#s vonda shepard

[singermike]

Check out the video of me singing Sometimes When We Touch. Crappy web cam but the singing is ok. LOL

[lennonfan123]

Great song...

[hinsert]

what is this? a play back show?

[starsuckers]

you have comments give me a break you just talk. you know what i mean. open your mind to music and maybe some of us like this if you don't what the hell you doing on this site. too much negativitey!! don't even bothering commenting!!

[sjg7173]

i think they both have the scary 70's porno look... ha ha ha.

[snakeguy76]

WTF? No Vonda? Definitely not her. Listen to the intro she just says Dan Hill. The "?" in the title is correct. Who is that imposter?

[retiredracer]

That is Vonda Sheppard. Look up vonda sheppard on the net then look at video again. They look they same.

[snakeguy76]

I'm flipping back and forth between the faces. There is a similarity, but I'm certain its not.

[0605denise]

No, you're right-that's not her-that's her voice-but SOMEone's lip-synching...

[travis82x]

they're both lip-synching that's for sure.

[gary42484]

i don't think thats vonda so i'd be pissed that some girl was lipping my part of the song. her teeth are BIG lol. they both look like they belong in an 80's porno flick lol. dan was scaring me the way he was looking at her like he was thinking about chopping her into little pieces and eating her lmao. omg i love this song but this was too weird lol

[payday108]

lol

[gary42484]

lol

[tjs1963]

Was Dan Hill stoned when they filmed this? He doesn't even blink his eyes until half way thru the song. Very scary!

[danielhr77]

Vonda Shepard is 5' 8" (1.73 m) and that girl has heels and still shorter than Dan. She's doing lip sync with Vonda's voice..

[vintagemike]

it is vonda sheppard

[theplanetking]

Definitely NOT Vonda Shepard.

Is Hill trying to look like a slimmed down Barry White?

[rypg75]

is that the Chocolate Rain guy's dad? hahahaha

[Papsmeas]

Hill has that creepy 70's porn star look - lol.

[dgonzales6942]

Yes, this show was Solid Gold and they all lip synched back then. The blond is NOT Vonda Shepard that is why Marilyn McCoo didn't include her in the introduction of this duet. Great song...Love it!

[Rick951]

Whoever that is singing the female part is just lip syncing to Vonda Shepards vocal. Probably Dan Hill's girlfriend or something.

[Rick951]

lol, took a second look and now I'm not so sure. Arrgg, if that is Vonda, the 90s were better to her than the 80s

[VellaAnnabelle]

i've just seen the performance of this song with dan and celine dion. i have to say it's MUCH better. her voice is more powerful and suitable for the song.

[beastking55]

1987 good yr left my 1st wife lol

[noah78199]

I was introduced to this song at my work and fell in love with it, and while I enjoy this video, I have to wonder if the female singing in this video is really Vonda Shepard. The only reason why I wonder is because the woman in the actual music video doesn't look very much like the woman in this live performance. Also, the hostess doesn't recognize her when introducing the song, she just mentions Dan Hill's name. Perhaps I'm looking into this wrong, but I can't help but think that...

[Kennychipmunk]

Its definitelt Vonda I recognize her voice anywhere

[trendytrix]

one of my favorite duets...vonda has a great great voice! thanks for posting this clip.

[DBR00]

Vonda Sheppard was the best for this song. Others tried but they are not as good as her.

[2nstra]

You hit it on the spot !!!!!!

[DBR00]

thanks!

[mcarps7]

Thank you for this video clip. I love this song and I remember this performance on my favourite tv show. I forgot how tight Vonda's dress was. Love Dan's voice and always great to see Marilyn McCoo.
