This came out of a time when talented people charted! They didn't have to look like Lady Ga Ga. Janis Ian's looked was enough, as long as the song was good. And think... Janis Ian was 25 in this clip and displays an intelligence that I can only imagine exceeds LGG's. I don't want to know Lady Ga Ga and her ilk as it's not my time nor my music... but really... who is on the charts today that can compare to this...
I think this was Janis's biggest hit in South Africa. Must have been a top 5 tune during the year end charts on Boxing Day, Radio 5. Top tune. Takes me back to my time in Chatsworth, Durban. Beautiful times.
80 tour i was at Lincoln Center where had honor sell Janis Ian programmes with my dad Samuel Aginsky,no one knows it my dad was world's greatest programme man- he started selling programmes for ballet companys age 14.
Seing Janis in Brighton, West Sussex, UK, in November, on her first European tour for 5 years plus! Magical artiste.! Am into a blues song , "As Far As Lonely Goes" from Take no Prisoners album. Search it out, you'll love it. Would suit Adele's voice, me feels!
Oh my goodness, what a bland video performance from Miss Ian! Loved this when I was 5.........never saw the film clip before today and man is she boring to watch!

When I was in high school, this song was played a lot in the morning on the radio (ABC Sydney). Very happy memories and thank you so much for posting!!!!

Written by Giorgio Moroder (Donna Summer's producer) and included in the soundtrack of "Foxes" starring Jodie Foster.
Donna's "On the radio" was the main theme of that movie.
Great times!!

I always knew Janis more for "Society's Child" and "At Seventeen", so this was one of her more dance-pop numbers, and a fun one, too.
