(From The Movie "The Rose")
Where did you go when things went wrong, baby?
Who did you run to?
Find a shoulder to lay your head upon.
Baby, wasn't I there?
Didn't I take good care of you?
But, oh, no. I can't believe you're leaving me, yeah.
Stay with me, baby.
I'm beggin' you to stay with me, baby.
Yeah, stay with me, baby.
I can't go on.
Who did you touch when you needed tenderness, baby?
I gave you so much,
and in return I found happiness.
Baby, what could I do?
Maybe I was too good, too good to you.
Ohh, no, I can't believe you're leavin' me.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, stay with me, baby.
Why don't you, why don't you just stay with me, baby?
Yeah, stay with me, baby.
Remember, you said you always gonna love me.
Remember, you said you'd never ever leave me.
Remember, remember, I'm asking you, begging you.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, stay with me, baby, baby, baby.
Why don't you stay with me, baby?
Stay with me, baby.
I can't, I can't go, oh, on.
"Well, I'm a young woman, and I could get plenty of men.
But honey, keepin' 'em's the hard part, ain't it?
Yeah. Sometimes, sometimes I find I try so hard."
Maybe this time I should be the one to go away.
'Cause honey, ain't it my turn to have somebody
grab hold of me and say,
"No! Don't go! You can't go!"
Oh! Stay, stay with me, baby.
I'm begging you, stay with me.
Stay with me, baby.
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, stay with me, baby.
Why don't you stay with me, baby?
Stay with me, baby.
I can't, I can't go on.

1984's number one / smash-hit "Out Of Touch" by Daryl Hall & John Oates called "Dance On Y
1984's number one / smash-hit "Out Of Touch" by Daryl Hall & John Oates called "Dance On Your Knees Full Length Dub Mix". I re-edited with the 3 parts played before about this vid-remix tribute and hope you'll remember.. :)
Review until 1984.- Hall & Oates is a popular music duo made up of Daryl Hall (born Daryl Franklin Hohl on October 11, 1946, Pottstown, Pennsylvania) & John Oates (born John William Oates on April 7, 1949 in Philadelphia).
Daryl Hall began performing professionally while he was a student at Temple University. In 1966, he recorded a single with Kenny Gamble and the Romeos; the group featured Gamble, Leon Huff, and Thom Bell, who would all become the architects of Philly soul. During this time, Hall frequently appeared on sessions for Gamble and Huff. In 1967, Hall met John Oates, a fellow Temple University student. Oates was leading his own soul band at the time. The two students realized they had similar tastes and began performing together in an array of R&B and doo wop groups. By 1968, the duo had parted ways, as Oates transferred schools and Hall formed the soft rock band Gulliver; the group released one album on Elektra in the late '60s before disbanding.
After Gulliver's breakup, Hall concentrated on session work again, appearing as a backup vocalist for the Stylistics, the Delfonics, and the Intruders, among others. Oates returned to Philadelphia in 1969, and he and Hall began writing folk-oriented songs and performing together. Eventually they came to the attention of Tommy Mottola, who quickly became their manager, securing the duo a contract with Atlantic Records. On their first records -- Whole Oates (1972), Abandoned Luncheonette (1973), War Babies (1974) -- the duo were establishing their sound, working with producers like Arif Mardin and Todd Rundgren and removing much of their folk influences. At the beginning of 1974, the duo relocated from Philadelphia to New York. During this period, they only managed one hit -- the number 60 "She's Gone" in the spring of 1974.
After they moved to RCA in 1975, the duo landed on its successful mixture of soul, pop, and rock, scoring a Top Ten single with "Sara Smile." The success of "Sara Smile" prompted the re-release of "She's Gone," which rocketed into the Top Ten as well. Released in the summer of 1976, Bigger than the Both of Us was only moderately successful upon its release. The record took off in early 1977, when "Rich Girl" became the duo's first number one single.
Although they had several minor hits between 1977 and 1980, the albums Hall & Oates released at the end of the decade were not as successful as their mid-'70s records. Nevertheless, they were more adventurous, incorporating more rock elements into their blue-eyed soul. The combination would finally pay off in late 1980, when the duo released the self-produced Voices, the album that marked the beginning of Hall & Oates' greatest commercial and artistic success. The first single from Voices, a cover of the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling," reached number 12, yet it was the second single, "Kiss on My List" that confirmed their commercial potential by becoming the duo's second number one single; its follow-up, "You Make My Dreams" hit number five. They quickly released Private Eyes in the summer of 1981; the record featured two number one hits, "Private Eyes" and "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)," as well as the Top Ten hit "Did It in a Minute." "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" also spent a week at the top of the R&B charts -- a rare accomplishment for a White act. H20 followed in 1982 and it proved more successful than their two previous albums, selling over two million copies and launching their biggest hit single, "Maneater," as well as the Top Ten hits "One on One" and "Family Man." The following year, the duo released a greatest-hits compilation, Rock 'N Soul, Pt. 1, that featured two new Top Ten hits -- the number two "Say It Isn't So" and "Adult Education."
Hall & Oates returned to the studio in 1984 after some time off to begin work on the Big Bam Boom LP. Unlike their previous work, this album had a more urban feel to it. Noted remix and hip-hop icon Arthur Baker worked closely with the duo as a consultant and did dance remixes of four of the album's tracks.
The lead-off song, "Dance on Your Knees", (co-written by Baker and Hall) is basically an homage to the Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five's song "White Lines". Hall himself performs some light rapping on the songs "Method of Modern Love" and "All-American Girl". Released in late 1984, the first single off the LP, Out of Touch, became the group's sixth number-one hit on December 8, 1984. "Method of Modern Love", which debuted on the pop charts while "Out of Touch" was at number one, reached number five in February 1985.
Since then, until today, they became the single most successful duo of all time.

From 1987's Music For The Masses and a year later, 1988 well-known through US label record
From 1987's Music For The Masses and a year later, 1988 well-known through US label records "Strangelove" by Depeche Mode made-up in my fav version of all called "Bomb The Bass Mix". If you were a DJ's professional at 80's then could remember about this one... =)
Review.- Depeche Mode are an electronic music band formed in 1980 in Basildon, Essex, England. The group's original lineup consisted of David Gahan (lead vocals), Martin Gore (keyboards, guitar, vocals, chief songwriter after 1981), Andrew Fletcher (keyboards) and Vince Clarke (keyboards, chief songwriter 1980--81). Vince Clarke left the band after the release of their 1981 debut album; soon replaced by Alan Wilder (lead keyboards) who played with the band from 1982 to 1995. Following Wilder's departure, Gahan, Gore, and Fletcher have continued to perform as a trio.
Review 1984--1988.- In their early years, Depeche Mode had only really attained success in the UK, Europe, and Australia - however, this changed in March 1984, when they released the single "People Are People". The song - a comment on racism, climbed to #13 on the US charts, as well as reaching #4 on the UK and Swiss charts - and gave them their first #1 (in Germany). To cash-in on the surprise success of the single, Sire, the band's North-American record label, released a compilation of the same name. A month later, the band's proper follow-up album "Some Great Reward" was released to generally positive reviews. Melody Maker claimed that the album made one "sit up and take notice of what is happening here, right under your nose". "Some Great Reward" saw the band experimenting with even darker subject matter, exploring sexual politics ("Master and Servant"), adulterous relationships ("Lie to Me"), and arbitrary divine justice ("Blasphemous Rumours"). Also included was the first Martin Gore ballad ("Somebody") - a concept that would become a staple on all following albums. The album was also their first to enter the US album charts, and made the Top 10 in several European countries. In 1985, Sire released a second North American compilation "Catching Up with Depeche Mode" (called The Singles 81-85 in Europe with a different track listing, and released there by Mute Records), designed as a companion to the aforementioned "People Are People" compilation, and including the new hit singles : "Shake the Disease" (#4 in Germany, #5 in Sweden, #6 in Switzerland, #13 in France and #18 in the UK) and "It's Called a Heart" (#7 in Sweden and Switzerland, #8 in Germany, #18 in the UK and #29 in France).
It was during this period that the band became associated with the gothic subculture, which had begun in Britain, and was slowly gaining popularity in the United States. There, the band's music had first gained prominence on college radio and modern rock stations such as KROQ in Los Angeles, and WLIR on Long Island, New York, and hence, they appealed primarily to a decidedly cultish, alternative audience who were disenfranchised with the predominance of "soft rock and "disco hell" on the radio. This view of the band was in sharp contrast to that in Europe and the UK, despite the increasingly dark and serious tone in their songs. In Germany (and other European countries), Depeche Mode were considered teen idols, and were regularly featured in euro teen magazines, providing their detractors with more ammunition to use against them.
1987's Music for the Masses saw further alterations in the band's sound and working methods. Dave Bascombe (who had previously worked with Tears for Fears) was brought in as a producer (although his role ended up being more that of an engineer), and the band (for the most part) abandoned sampling in favour of more musical experimentation. Although the chart performance of the singles ("Strangelove", "Never Let Me Down Again" and "Behind the Wheel") was disappointing in Great Britain (whereas those singles were big hits in countries such as West Germany, South Africa, Sweden or Switzerland, reaching there the Top 10), the album was almost universally praised by the music press - far more so than any other album the band had released. Record Mirror described it as "the most accomplished and sexy Mode album to date" and, more important than that for the band, it made an impressive breakthrough in the American market, something which the band had failed to achieve with their previous albums.
On the heels of Music for the Masses, the group played a follow-up world tour in 1987--88. The tour culminated on 18 June in a concert at the Pasadena Rose Bowl with a sell-out attendance of 90,000 (the highest in eight years for the venue). The tour was documented in 101 - a concert film by D.A. Pennebaker, and its accompanying soundtrack album.
In addition, Depeche Mode are one of the longest-lived and most successful bands to have emerged from the New Romantic and New Wave era.

1991's Smash-hit/number one "Rush Rush" by Paula Abdul. this is my own video remix. Hope you'll like this rare vocal version that was joined for two different versions... :]
Review until 1992.- Paula Julie Abdul (born June 19, 1962in San Fernando, California, to Harry Abdul, a former livestock trader and owner of a sand and gravel business, and Lorraine Rykiss, a concert pianist who once worked as film director Billy Wilder's assistant). Abdul's father was a Sephardi Syrian Jew who immigrated with his family to Brazil and then to the U.S. while her mother is also Jewish and originally from Saint Boniface, Winnipeg, Canada.
She and her sister, Wendy, grew up with their mother in the San Fernando Valley. Abdul was inspired towards a show business career by Gene Kelly in the classic film Singin' in the Rain as well as Debbie Allen, Fred Astaire, and Bob Fosse.
Abdul began dance lessons around the age of eight and showed a natural talent for it. She attended Van Nuys High School where she was a cheerleader and an honors student. At 15, she received a scholarship to a dance camp near Palm Springs.
Abdul studied broadcasting at California State University, Northridge. During her first year was selected from a pool of 700 tryouts for the cheerleading squad of the Los Angeles Lakers, the famed Laker Girls. Within three months she became head choreographer. She quit school six months later.
Abdul went on to choreograph videos for several artists in the 1980's including many videos for Janet Jackson during her Control era.
In 1987 Abdul used her savings to make a singing demo. Although her voice was relatively untrained, her exceptional dancing proved marketable to the visually oriented, MTV-driven pop music industry.
In 1988, Abdul released her debut album Forever Your Girl. The album took 62 weeks to hit #1 on the Billboard 200 album sales chart, the longest an album has been on the market before hitting #1 - it spent 10 weeks there. The album eventually became multi-platinum in the spring and summer of 1989 and it spawned five American Top Three singles, four of them #1s: "Straight Up", "Forever Your Girl", "Cold Hearted", "(It's Just) The Way That You Love Me", and "Opposites Attract". A remix album, Shut Up and Dance, was also released and reached #7 on Billboard's album chart, becoming one of the most successful remix albums to date. The Grammy award-winning video for "Opposites Attract" featured an animated cat named MC Skat Kat. As a sign of Paula's enormous popularity, the cartoon cat scored his own record deal later that year, becoming the first artist signed to Abdul's own Captive Records. Abdul's voice was sampled on one track and she appeared in the video for the first single.
Abdul also went on a Club MTV tour where she performed the songs off her album. Several other acts were also on the tour. Overall the tour helped raise Abdul's popularity even more.
Abdul's follow-up album, 1991's Spellbound, contained another string of hits, and went on to sell 13 million copies. Hits included "Rush, Rush" (which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for five consecutive weeks, thanks to its music video and Rebel Without a Cause motif featuring Keanu Reeves in the James Dean role), "Promise of a New Day", "Blowing Kisses in the Wind", "Vibeology", and "Will You Marry Me?". The first single, "Rush, Rush", was a ballad, which surprised many, as singers generally release an up-tempo song as a first single. The album Spellbound retained much of the dance-oriented formula heard on her debut album. The track "U" was written for Paula by Prince.
Personal struggles during 1993-1994 was around this time when Paula's personal life began to cloud her career. In 1993 she helped her sister Wendy overcome an over-eating disorder. Abdul was eventually caught and she herself admitted to the disorder bulimia and checked herself into a clinic to overcome the self-esteem issues triggering her bulimia. Her reputation was also damaged when backing vocalist Yvette Marine claimed she sang on the Forever Your Girl album, not Paula. The case started in August, and lasted one month. Eventually Paula and Virgin records won the case. That same year Paula filed for divorce from Emilio Estevez. The divorce was finalized in 1994, but both remain friends to this day.
Abdul promoted the album through the "Under My Spell Tour." This tour almost didn't happen because of an accident during rehearsals that was bad enough she almost had to cancel. The tour went as scheduled anyway and ran from October 1991 to the summer of 1992.
After her initial period of success, she suffered a series of reverses in her professional and personal life, until she found renewed fame and success in the 2000s as a judge on the highly rated television series American Idol.
