Michael Morales - Who Do You Give Your Love To

[ExcruciatingMinutae]

I hate to admit that I like this song - even though it sounds like something the "tough kids" would have performed during the school dance at the end of an after-school special.

[SWEETVIDS210]

He's my teacher at rockstar academy in san Antonio he's awesome

[mayman21121]

Totally forgotten gem that peaked at #15 - should have gone top 10.

[DaveWollenberg]

Michael hit #15 in Billboard, 7-29-89. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[friscojones]

Does anyone know where you can buy the MP3 to this song? Cannot find it! C'mon itunes!

[chainsawpro1]

@friscojones i downloaded the mp3 album from emule....

[WSC9293]

This came out in 1989. I remember it distinctly, since that was the year I joined the army.

[altell12]

[TheBennik]

[TheBennik]

Great video, great song!..I totally remember this one!

[todayandtommorow1]

[ROBERTVANJOVI]

[rockstuff345]

Good song

[beakrilor]

 inolvidable... 13 añitos... excelente!!

[spyretto]

this one charted in the top 25 in the billboard hot 100 back in the late 100

[christopherwv1977]

I had the tape of this back in the late 80's. From what I remember he played all the instruments with th exception of some of the keyboards.

[iammoniv]

I know that dude!!! Him and my dad r like great friends

[dbaisa68]

wow! i forgot about this song!

[bucky468]

Wonder what Jimmy, Wally & the rest of the Romantics thought of him butchering their classic "What I Like About You"? Rumor has it that he was in the latter edition of the Romanitcs. Is that true?

[bucky468]

Morales back catalog may be reissued by either American Beat or Renaissance Records who proudly specialize in reissue releases.

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #15 in Billboard, God bless!

[bucky468]

@DaveWollenberg I don't think this song got any airplay on AOR radio. I don't think it was ever designed for rock radio.

[tugboatcodonsiigch]

the best way to download this mp3 from youtube is to google mp3iffy.

[proudksgurla40]

This reminds me of my BFF. And she use to love this song. She would play it all the time!

We cruised the Fe to it! THose were the days. Hairbands bring back so much(memories)! Michael rocks this song!

[DallasHammster]

Awesome song. I went to Holmes High School in San Antonio too, but as he is six years older than me, we never met.

@Poliflix76 Michael has cited Rick Springfield, among others, as a big influence, so any similarity is no accident. However, the song itself is indeed a Michael Morales original.

[Marshmallo117]

hey he used to be my music teacher!!! :) really he was fun and cooooool HAHA cool vid

[twentyeighttwo]

@Poliflix76 Nope, Michael wrote it about his first wife in 1985.

[christopherwv1977]

This brings back memories! I was in 7th grade when this came out!

[Mooseboy240]

he has a studio in San Antonio its called Studio M

[insanesanx]

superb song, luckily I own it on CD

[Marshmallo117]

i met him and he has a rockstar academy and hes my instucter

[SwearYourLove]

AOR MUSIC ! FANTASTIKK

[dkbeyreis]

LOVE this song. wish i could find the album again. used to have the cassette.

[christopherwv1977]

I use to have the cassette as well. I'd love to have the CD!..The multi tracked vocals on this is what really got me into my favorite band Queen!

[luigo24]

He is great!!

[jericho4004]

I remember recording songs off the radio back in `89, and this was one of them. i fell in love with this cut! It some of the coolest guitar work in it.

[leranleran]

Hi could you help me get "I don't want you no more" ? Thanks in advance!

[TheKevinr33]

Who do you give your love to? Not Chris Jones.

[yolydavila]

I remember....this song I like it

[MegaSkater56]

he is my music teacher!

[mattdawg83686]

Michael is a true talent; he played all the instruments on this album.

[Eddie62070]

I remember when i first heard this I thought it was Queen

[BigMojoDevil]

Well, I believe the producer was actually Roy Thomas Baker of Queen fame.

[Eddie62070]

really...guess it stands to reason then

[MegaSkater56]

i am personal friends with micheal...he is my music teacher

[65kuzco]

Hi megaSkater ... if you're a Michael friend...please ask Michael why he don't do CD anymore ...... He's one of most talented artist I've ever heard..... :-((((

[MegaSkater56]

he is a producer now

[d3admik3y15]

haha my name's michael morales and i live in WV hahah

[RandomChic290]

He's my music instructor! :D he's really nice!

[bigguy418]

I used to have this on cassette, reminds me of driving around in my CJ5 Jeep with the top off, in the late 80's. Funny how songs take us back to a place and time. Great Song !!!.

[kansasjamiemcmurray]

WOW OMG This is such a great song

[joltinjack]

I haven't heard this song since '92. Good job!

[lukather39]

Gran tema de uno de los mejores músicos de AOR de todos los tiempos. Yo tengo sus 3 discos de AOR, y son todos geniales, y éste primero es uno de los mejores discos de AOR de siempre. Increíble.

Great great great great great great song of one of the best musicians of AOR of all time. I have their 3 CD´s of AOR, and are all great, and it first is one of the best records of AOR of forever. Incredible.

[mhogg777]

This song rocks! Michael is a great singer!

[SirSuaveaLot]

He was born & raised in San Antonio, still lives there now, His brother was former attorney general Dan Morales of Texas..

This was at the top of the charts in San Antonio my senior year in high school, 20 yrs ago! IT think it's still a great song.

[cameron91101]

Wow havent heard this since 90' loved this song right away thought it was rick springfield and was like his best work eva!Ran out bought the sin gle cassette song B was good 2 never knew what he looked like never seen the video thanx 4 postn wish i could go back in time AWESOME Xs.

[oldschoolelf]

Another good song from him is "I don't know who to love anymore"

[zcubby]

As heard on 97 Star WGH Norfolk/Virginia Beach, VA. 1989

[ekimselarom]

Very kind words, Zeppo. He may just have more up his sleeve - 1 20 09.

[zeppo102]

Michael Morales is awesome...it's easy to get distracted by the cheese & the hair in this vid, but he's a hugely talented songwriter & performer. His 2nd disc, Thump, is actually much better than the 1st. The 3rd, "That's the Way" is also worth getting. I also heard some modern rock demos he did which were in a different vein but also a treat. I hope Michael is doing well these days after that rough patch...if we're lucky, he may even have a few new musical projects up his sleeve!

[elvisghost100]

Wow. I finally found someone who is cheaper than Michael Bolton. I didn't think it was possible. Thank God this era is over.

[ShadeB93]

A knock off of Gino Vannelli's "Black Cars" LP and Rick Springfield's "Tao"-era stuff. Listen to the drum loop on "Black Cars" - it's exactly the same. The rest of it sounds like a Springfield album cut.

[DallasHammster]

Morales does list Springfield as an influence, and I have no problem that - both are awesome! ^_^

[alamoro]

Michael Morales, 40, pleaded guilty in January to one count of extortion. The maximum prison sentence was two years

[alamoro]

Grammy Award-winning music producer Michael Morales of San Antonio was sentenced Friday to two years in federal prison in connection with a plot to blackmail former Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tony Sanchez.

Morales' brother, former Texas Attorney General Dan Morales, was defeated by Sanchez in the 2002 Democratic primary for governor. Sanchez went on to lose to Republican Gov. Rick Perry in the general election. Sanchez's campaign was based in Austin.

[alamoro]

yes, same morales. His brother was the former Attorney General of Texas. He was sent to prison for tampering with an election. It was actually a more severe charge than that. Some kind of extortion attempt or other. google it. his band was entertaining during fiesta, great party band. Hope he is released by know.

[alan464]

i saw him serving in k.f.c. the other day.i got a bargan bucket of him,£4.99.well cheep.

[devyndeloera10]

lol.. whatever.

[kippyia1354]

AAHHHH me and the boys heading to Ocean City, MD from toona in the summer of 89'!! This song was on the radio the whole way down. Great song great memories!!

[mattdawg83686]

A lot of people don't know that he performed ALL of the instruments on this album.

[aya1960]

I think of Duaine Q. Williams and the summer of 1989 at Ludlum Measurements Inc. in Sweetwater Tx. What a summer that was. I still love you Dewey!

[carzy4df]

What a great song. Where is he now?

[MYGOBLETS]

Last time I saw him, he was serving time in a Federal Prison in Texas.

[gov1227]

Nope...not true. He's still making music somewhere in Texas. Don't start rumors.

[Aleancelo]

The convicted murderer Michael Morales in Texas is NOT the singer Michael Morales.

[gladeasy]

That's right. Emilio's son's (band VonArmy)are recording w/him right now near San Antonio.

[weewigglywft]

This was my FAVORITE song my senior year in high school! I don't think I've heard it since then! Thanks for adding it!

[hismastership]

I was recently introduced to this track by a co-worker of mine and it definitely rocks.

[teddyboy1000]

Probably one of the most underrated musical talents of the 80's and 90's. His Self Titled Album is Superb and why the Track Seventeen wasn't a huge number 1 has always left me bemused. Thump is a wonderful album and Tha's the way was/is Superb Sadly I see no more albums by him... Come on Michael more more MORE please

saw him once in Las Vegas ... worst venue ever but he was AWESOME met him afterwards quiet unassuming nicest hope all is going well for him whatever he is doing now.

[carzy4df]

Amen

[OctoberFest86]

Michael Morales is a friggin' GAWD.

...i'm interning for him. hee hee.

...read it and weep.

[jdoh9]

How 'bout asking him when will he get something new out?

[VALMOUNNT]

Me encontré por casualidad con este cantante ya no recuerdo ni quien me lo recomendo pero vamos que si acerté, muy bueno, y unos coros a lo def leppard increibles muy bueno

[YOUTUVEDHARMA]

dE POR SI ES MUY DIFICIL CONSEGUIR EL CD, ALGUNA VEZ TUVE EL LP EN VINIL, Y FUE EDITADO EN MEXICO, LAMENTABLEMENTE ME ROBARON EL DISCO, ME DEJARON SOLO LA FUNDA. SI LO LLEGAS A VER TE RECOMIENDO AMPLIAMENTE TODAS LAS CANCIONES SON MUY BUENAS. Y ESO QUE SOY METALERO. SALUDOS

[Scorpionking60164]

man this brings back memories, been years since I heard this one

[3faced]

"Who did he give his love to" in prison?

This dude tried to fuck me outta money once!!!

[lefteris2006]

On a really hot summer day, slide in the CD, retract roof, put on your coolest sunglasses and mood to finally drive by some dream California beach...

[DallasHammster]

Michael Morales and I both went to Holmes High School in San Antonio. However, since he is some years older than me, we never met, although my high school algebra teacher invited his older brother former Texas state attorney general Dan Morales to speak to our class (they went to the same church). So, have Dan and Michael been released from prison yet?

[norbie1964]

I can totally see that! However, in hindsight, this has that same vibe / sound that Nelson would be jammin' a year later on "Love and Affection".

[towelie615]

yeah tristan morales' dad!

[spurschica]

Ha my friend told me i can find this.

Ha my uncle had some crazzy times.

[CaedmonAOR]

Great stuff, all of his works ~!

[JEFFINER75]

I just found this video....and of course I had to do the lil sister thing and pick on my brother (drummer).I grew up with these guys and I have to say that these are some of the most sweetest guys you could ever meet!

[rompemadrix]

de las mejores canciones

[METu8]

Anyone can upload more of Michael Morales video clips.

[ebachenh]

Great voice over dubbing with the harmonies...

[milton456]

#16 Summer 1989

[bigdawg1230]

This guy played all of the instruments on this song and album.

[VALMOUNNT]

esta genial, esta cancion no la conocia...muy bien y el video tb. Bueno saluos desde españa y pasaros por mi video a ver q os parece lo q hacemos por aqui grupos como avenida, rafa martin, siddharta "u" yo mismo Javier Tejedo, un abrazo

[insanesanx]

video kulero gran kancion

[edshull]

I don't know what's more embarrassing on my iPod, this or Nelson. I guess we all have guilty pleasures.

[irishhombre]

what movie is it from?

[Spadge35]

Probably one of the worst videos ever, but this guy made some great music.

[BigMojoDevil]

Yeah, his videos look pretty dated, but Morales is a truly amazing songwriter and performer. I honestly hope we hear more of him....
