I love this song, forever. I never knew who sang it but I'm adding to my CD collection and am trying to fill in the blanks left by absolutely great songs like this one. I love it every time I hear it.
For Julio C. Lopez, rest in peace my friend. remember talking about great old music and the day we spoke about this one. You will be missed my friend. r.i.p.
I knew Rocky personally in 1968 and 1969. This was in Van Nuys, California. We were just teenagers then. I wrote a play and had Rocky act the lead and sing. He was always smiling and had a golden voice, also a powerful voice, requiring no microphone to fill the hall. He was an instant hit. He had a buddy named Tim Sullivan and their band even then was excellent. His uncle, by the way was Glen Campbell. That family can sing!
summer of 1980, i graduated high school that year. this song was all over the radio all summer and we couldnt get enough of it! Its as cool today as it was back then.
@toriElena I had just graduated from basic training (US Army) and was stationed at Ft. Knox Kentucky. I Had a girlfriend, and we both rocked out to this song. Very fond of this song and the memories it brings back!
bumped into the ex of 5 years and it was the best feeling when the kids pulled up to pick me up.... he was talking about words that should of been said two years ago.......
Hola jóvenes esta canción me encanta escucharla aunque esa época de los ochentas apenas era un niño ahora de grande me gusta la música disco de los 70s 80s y 90s y actual lo escuchaba en Guatemala de radio y ahora lo sigo los ochentas forever gracias al amigo oh amiga por poner esta canción saludos desde New York U.S.A de mi querida Guatemala
I was raising childen during this time of Rockey's Hits. If you can believe it I just a year ago stumbled upon this great voice/entertainer....I just can't play his songs enough!!!!
My very gooooood friend Gill Byatt introduced Julie and I to this superb track, Gill thank you and we STILL have your original copy when you wanna pick it up. Cracking track.
busque esta cancion por años.mi mama la escuchaba cuando era joven y quedo grabada en mi mente y siempre me acordaba de un cantante y que la banda eran mujeres. uyyyyyyyyy era tan pequeña cuando la escuche por primera vez y ahora ya la tengo en mi celu como ringtong.
@mcbable I know what you mean bud! Music used to not only have great creation but was inpiring in a positive way like songs like this one. Now everything seems tyo be simply about music, sex and, trying crack jokes about your compitition. Sad that society seems to evolve backwards in the music world :(
When this song came out in 1980, the DJs would often comment that the singer once was an L.A. cop. Heard this announced on both New York and Baltimore radio.
Definatley a toe tappen tune. I have always really liked this song. He has a very nice voice...what ever happened to him? I think he did some country stuff??
Some of the most original music was produced in the 60's-80's. I like glam rock too. Most new songs today r not so good. I guess the good music comes and goes!!!
Nope, they're no bands today. It's all done with computers and phony. No real drummers,no real brass section, and the singer even uses a synthesizer to improve their voices.
wow those 80's ... if I knew then....
