Hard to believe 30 years have gone by since this song was popular! I remember hearing it all the time back when I was seven years old. Too bad no radio stations play it anymore.
Love this song...takes me back years!! Loved the movie Sooner or Later, and yes I had a massive cruch on Rex Smith..lol Love remembering old songs and its great to have youtube to listen to them again....ty for posting
Hurt ,shurmt,,,,,,, smile, it'll be okay,,,,you just might take his breath away, and if not,, punch his lights out and move on, nothing ventured,nothing gained,right?
Well, I'm sure you can understand that his voice doesn't sound like a classical singer's. At all. And him trying to play Frederic in "Pirates of Penzance"... I'm sorry, but it just left me cold. He just didn't understand the style of music, and it showed. Blatantly.
Don't worry, I'd say the same if Pavarotti had released an album of reggae, or something. I'm not just targeting him, but... you get what I mean.
Ok I see what you mean, I thought he did more opera beyond Pirates... I know that Pirates allowed him to pursue Broadway and acting roles. I guess he tried all his options to get the fame he was looking for through music. I wish still was popular in the US because unlike others of his generation, he still has the chops! My opinion of course. LOL Thanks for writing back.
ME recorda quando eu tinha 13 anos, o primeiro grande amor da minha vida, Rex Smith e esta canção até hoje com 39 anos me persegue e não esqueço, saudade do filme e das minhas coleções de fotos deste artista, de tanto que eu era fanática por ele
edith, you take my breath away. i miss you so much that it hurts so bad not being able to hold you in my arms. god bless you my true love and i love you so much.
Yeah, whatever! AIDS was DICOVERED in the 80s! The USA is awsome, it's the people that need work. Have you seen how people in other countries live? It's an eye opener.
He is still HOTTTTi googled his name and he popped up, he has 5 kids and he is still touring he played in the phillipines recently to a SOLD OUT CONCERT WOW they must love him over there, i loved him in the 70s thought he was hot and age has agreed well with him still looks unbelievably well, keep it up REXXXXX LOVE YA.
Damn.. My first 'make out' session was to this album!!! Rex Smith was so hot! and this was 'the' song. Thanks so so SOOOOOO much for posting this song!!
70s no words for those beautiful days,i miss them so much 1st girlfriend,best time in my life,even this movie,simply jessie with rex,those indeed were the days,today,they dont have a clue.much peace
70s best years of my life,first eveything...but i felt so fresh so new,so happy,sanford and son,archie bunker,happy days,the music,holding hands and ice skating,i would do anything,do have my beloved 70s back.
But he would leave before he sang after Rob Halford, Freddy Mercury or even stevey winwood singing for Traffic. He was all about looks, not so much talent.
Yes, Rex had looks to be sure, but don't forget he doesn't limit himself to being a pop star. He's done some pretty fine work on the Broadway stage, too.
I saw Rex Smith on Broadway in "The Pirates of Penzance" three times back in 1980 or 1981! The first time I sat the aisle seat of the third row. At one point in the show he walked off stage and was standing right next to me!!!! I was like "oh my god, oh my god, oh my god". I could have reached out and touched him and that thought did cross my mind at the time. Ah, memories!
I loved this song in high school.I remember my best friend and I would play it over and over on her turn table (yeah,remember those??) He was fine back then,wonder what he looks like now? I would love to find out.
Yep, brings back memories and makes me smile, because he hasn't changed much. I was in a stage production with him 3 years ago and I can tell you he's in great shape - nice abs.
Sings even better now, in my opinion! I enjoyed meeting and working with him.
Rex has one of the best natural vocal instruments I have heard. His footprint is casted in time, even though I believe he never got all the credit he and his talent deserved.
I rate all day and its nice to go to posts where such love shows thru. You did an excellent job and yes I too loved Rex:)for yrs tried to even find it leave it to you to help bring us back to a sweet and more love in time:)tks sub hugs to you great job!!
I have been looking for this album for years!!!I had this when I was a youngster, and it still sounds good to this day. Thanks so very much for posting!
Bless you, Berjo, for posting this! We came in tonight to malfunctioing cable TV (again!) and when we revived it, lo and behold, the tail end of this song was playing on one of the 9-- music channels! Beloved went to bed snickering but I was so hoping to find here and look! It's so lovely how many fans have taken the time to compile images and post agoregous song that predates music video glut. Thank you, this is just lovely!
well the truth is that this is my mom's fav. song and i want to give it to her but they sell it no where but she really wants it so if you could email it to me it would be much appriciated! thank you much from, iwuvmcdonalds
