Michael Des Barres & Holly Knight - Obsession (Extended Version) [film: A Night In Heaven 1983]

[@ggaa111100]

Holly wrote so many great tunes. HOF songwriter and she was a pretty good performer as well. Those old Spider vids are epic, with Holly rockin the keys. Thanks for everything Ms. Knight.

Been looking for this version for a long time. Thank you.

What a track!!!! As good as the animotion cover for sure, and maybe better....

[@arpc0027]

Uh, this is the original version not a cover.

[@gaiusbaltar7122]

@@arpc0027 Yes, but there is a very good cover version of this song by a group called Animotion.

Holly Knight is a genius and someone I knew nothing of until I did the research. I hope she knows she’s a genius.

I love the CASIO organ auto-accompaniment preset sound! reminds me of my first mini keyboard from Argos!

[@Whatisthis94]

Damn. This is spectacular although I prefer the remake

[@kathleengreenlay7861]

This is one of my best songs

[@RIPITIR]

My mind is blown to learn that this song is co-written and performed by the actor who played MacGuyver's Murdoc!

[@119Agent]

Wow. Did not know that.

[@MultiCappie]

Interesting. I was expecting to say "this is better than the Animotion version", but now no, I think Animotion did substantially improve it.

[@aster48]

To me, it's a draw. I prefer the original, but not by much. Aninmotion actually did a good cover of it.

[@tobyfitzpatrick3914]

Totally agree that Animotion took this version and squeezed chicken fat out of it!

[@original_sin]

Yeah the male vocal on this isn't really sung, just spoken. The vocal in Animotion is perfect in the context of the song.

[@meganhussey972]

I like both--to me, the spoken word approach works so well because Michael's voice is so sexy and his acting skills shine through

[@gaiusbaltar7122]

@@original_sin there is also a spoken voice in the background of the singing voice in Animotion version.
