I heard about Danny Spanos from my friend Jack who, like Danny, was also drummer for Redbone for a little while and who also just passed away🥲Both amazing guys and very talented musicians. Then, found Danny’s music videos. He’s Really good! Also found the later video of him in the car interview, talking about his experiences. These guys were in the same circle and worked with, or dealt with the same “big business”, rough & seedy people in Hollywood. Hollywood and “the business” is a not so nice, rough world from way back when and still exists to this day. It’s so NOT glamorous. It’s a dirty world and the Bigger they become, the Dirtier it becomes with the sacrifices and all of the other dirty stuff they have to endure to get there. Thankfully, we were somewhat overprotective parents and constantly by our son’s side throughout the Hollywood life and experiences. Along with Jesus. Always kept him safe. Never fell into those wrong hands. He never had to and would never choose to. Friends with some very famous celebrities, met some of the seedy people but never harmed nor caught up in the deep, darkness of it all. We thank Jesus for that. Had we known that ANY of this kind of stuff went on, our son would never have been involved in Hollywood nor the entertainment industry. NEVER. Rest in Heavenly peace Jack and Danny. Thank you for the wonderful music.

where did voices like this disappear to in todays music industry?

Probably the most remade song in Rock history.

RIP Danny. Won’t be forgotten. I love this song dearly.

❤ As we are in September.... the breeze from the lake is cold....campfire dies and strange tales can be told.... miss you Danny!

For me, the Danny Spanos version will always be #1 for this song, but these guys are the orginals. Streetheart rocks no matter what.

Long love killerhit!!! Chris gudat ruled fukkn LA!!!!🇺🇲🇬🇧😎💪✌️

I had no idea... :O

Will always be the best version of "Hot Cherie" imo. Sad to hear he passed RIP Danny Spanos

Nice version. Canadian band Streetheart wrote it in 1983, but their LP never got released until 1984. Spanos just got his recording released first, but he didn’t write it.

Hardline's version is one of my favorite songs of all time.

I had no idea that the Hardline version was a cover! (This is cool for historic value, but I think I like that version a lot better!)

Great vocals by Danny. Also, I love his "Looks like Trouble" record >> Lorraine is a great song <<. He recorded this song (Hot Cherie) first, but its written by Randy Bishop & Streetheart. You can find the Streetheart version (released later) on their "Buried Treasures" album. The song was also covered by a band called Brunette, the german rock band Bonfire, and not to forget Hardline.

My ex used to sing this to me way back when life was much better

Til today I only know this song from Hardline

Danny Spanos 1983 Steelheart 1984 Brunette 1986 Hardline 1992 This awesome song has been redone many times.

Yeah, I dig his version most.

as a Canadian i honeslty never knew this was originally done by Streetheart, so glad the first version i ever heard was Hardline's, beacuse this is horrible in comparison.

Nothing like Hardline's version which I think is the best 😊😊 R.I.P. Danny

Yes, what a great song. I loved every bit of it. I had a girlfriend back in the 80's and we listen to it a lot. She automatically went all over me when it came on and you know I put it on all the time! God bless ya Danny, RIP

Never knew!!!

Who do you think wrote it?

I knew Danny and his wife Carol. He was a premier drummer on the Hollywood circuit and remember 1983 very well in the high deserts at his house. He gave me my first real drum lessons and I gave him lyrics and friendship. Long story. RIP Danny and Carol? I hope you are well.

Doble 9

Hardline sent me here.

i only knew this is hardline cover song after 30 years ....😐

The best version of this song. Also the original. What can I say?

Thank you DS.. i love this song for it gave me company when I was 14 and depressed....Im Still here and Thankful -...I CANT WAIT FOR OCTOBERRRR 💙

I thought this was a Hardline song. They definitely do the best version of it.

Danny was my friend ! Late 1979 , I was in a band playing all the Hollywood clubs, I was the front man/ singer from Venice, I was his friend! He called me a good friend!

Seems Danny Spanos died in February 2022...

This hit the airwaves in Louisville, Kentucky when it was released back in 1983... it had a good run for a few months... sadly it never quite made it to a cult one hit wonder, like say, "Lunatic Fringe" by Red Ryder (Tom Cochran's band) that would get played decades after it was released... Danny Spanos seems to have fallen off the face of the earth... but there is this short interview clip from 2019... he looks radically different... "Danny Spanos Talks About His Experiences" kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5azhpeIjNSFe6c en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Spanos

This original version is the best!!! Hardline version whacks it all up!! Sucks!

Still on of my favorite songs of all time

Was in iTunes but can’t find any more

Heartbreaking. I just saw that Danny passed this year. What a talent he was. So many wonderful memories of him from long ago. RIP. I’m so sad. 😢

R.I.P. Danny Spanos

When you find a song you thought was written by Hardline ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXOWqoF-YqeKb5Y&ab_channel=albertmanzano011 And here is Streetheart's version... kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4Daf6KwgJiGl6M&ab_channel=Whiznoise

life was great when this was out new R.H forever

2022 and this song still rocks…Danny Spanos never got his just dues as an 80’s rocker..His career should have been much larger

I love this song so much. Great memories. I would like to know if Danny Spanos still alive and performing? Awesome song.

In this original version it's pretty good energetic song, but Hardline made this just epic.

Kenny did it the BEST

Damn that bass line

Well I stumbled upon this song while researching another artist. I’ve been trying to locate the song but couldn’t remember artist! Rock On!

Streetheart have a double album full of hits, the same can't be said for Hardline and the fact that their best song is a cover is bad news for them too.

I've always used this version in my anime fanfiction. You can't get better than this!!!

Fun to see this in Peacemaker this week in 2022!

Vladimír Dvořák THANK YOU...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
