We love hearing from our fans! Let us know what you'd like to see and we'll get it posted.

[@indyanna5683]

What a great channel! I miss/ We all miss Johnny, as he was the best and didn't play sides like the late night trash today! he had integrity and class! He always had regular kids on sometimes that had a special talent...not Hollywood actors...

[@staceyjones8709]

OK look... I could go on all day if I did that, let me put it simply: If you got it ...we want to see it!! 🤩🍿 There's multiple Johnny fan sites with memberships in the THOUSANDS all over the place on social media and we all say we want you guys to make more full episodes available on DVD, more clips available to see... We tell each other all the time you guys are missing out on a gold mine...post clips, make more episodes available on DVD. Do it ...if it's Johnny we want it, we love it !! Post them !!! ❤❤❤

[@shuffle877]

Kind of an odd request, but I would love to see one of Lawrence Welk's appearances. From what I have read he appeared with Johnny four times, and even led the band.

[@ShanaKosman-jy3ur]

I would like to see Burt Reynold’s guest host episode with Norman Fell, Robert Fuller, Della Reese, Dinah Shore, and Jonathon Winters.

[@brettmcclung7590]

​@Stacey Jones I 100% agree with you! Definitely want more full episodes available on DVD. But DVDs are pretty much going out or obsolete or have been for some time now. I really appreciate seeing more performances and interviews and rare footage available finally on the Johnny Carson KZbin Channel. But I definitely want more full shows, including the musical performances and original commercials, again if possible l. But full shows are nice to see. I'm 36 and love watching this stuff. It's to bad there's no one around like Johnny anymore.

[@lalalisa9307]

We need more of her in the world now

[@PScott-wg7gf]

This takes me back to a time when our love was young, my wife passed from covid and its disappointing that we can look back but we can't go back. The 80s were the best.

[@TihetrisWeathersby]

No lipsynch, Just talent

[@angelamartin2811]

I was 22 when in 88 I love Belinda she made the best MTV videos. Oh how I miss the 80s but how wonderful to get on KZbin and travel back to memory lane. Love Johnny

[@maxgalarza9955]

I was 25 back then. I agree Belinda´s videos were very aesthetics. I dropped this site casually. I miss the 80s and Johnny too.

[@cbass2755]

I love this gal! She was so fun in the Go-Go’s! Always made people happy and smile! Fun times

[@golfhk]

This band is awesome. Susie Davis keyboard, Guitarist is also amazing.

[@dmlafayette8469]

Belinda is such an icon. Beautiful performance.

[@ABdancers]

Great performance by Belinda and her band. I remember how everyone liked to wear black colored clothes back in 1988. It was a cool time for music. Thank you for posting this.

[@ColtraneTaylor]

Unknowingly ushering in the grim 90s and PTSD 21st century.

[@CaesarDarias]

Great performance. I love the arrangement, not trying to copy to album version.

[@oceanlover3530]

Such a beauty! Love her unique voice! ✌🏻👍🏻✌🏻

[@HTub-bo2yl]

A thing of beauty is a joy forever 💕

[@davidbacon6468]

I Love Belinda Carlisle

[@Heartboy1031]

Donna Delory and Bekka Bramlett; her backup singers went on to sing backup on most of the tracks on "Runaway Horses" in 1989.

[@melissatyree566]

I think Becca Bramlett is the daughter of delaney and Bonnie Bramlett. Two fine singers on their own.

[@AFMMarcelD]

Started admiring her when she was with the Go-Gos, found out she’s an animal lover and I love her even more, a fine dressed lady, talent intelligence, integrity and class, leagues above today’s standards, just as lovely today. 🌹

[@wisconsinman3590]

You should really look into her days with the Go-Go's. She wasn't, shall we say, a sweet innocent girl. Cough Cough..s..l..u..t.. But I still had a massive crush on her.

[@AFMMarcelD]

@@wisconsinman3590 Agree, but who’s not a sinner? I still love her, love is love brother.

[@wisconsinman3590]

@@AFMMarcelD I don't have an issue with what she DID, lot of people think she's a little angel.. Like Whittney Houston, so sweet yet had a mouth like a sailor and well, we see her habit.

[@cluman1]

I think it was all that coke she was snorting that gave her all that integrity and class. You don't know her like that to make those assumptions. If you enjoy her music then praise that. She's a singer.

[@donaldsmolder7152]

Belinda Carlisle was absolutely dropdead gorgeous. She had a beautiful voice. I think Johnny Carson was the funniest person ever.

[@Mospen]

This is a fantastic performance! Thank you for posting/sharing this!

[@stagecoachal]

Usually when I watch a Belinda Carlisle performance my eyes are glued on her - for obvious reasons! But this time I found my gaze drifting frequently across to the guitar player. He is very good. He has a great sense of time and rhythm and control over his playing. The solo is imaginative and very melodic - much better than the original. Compare this with the same song performed on the Runaway Horses Tour - no comparison! Well done Mr Rick Boston - you are clearly a cut above the regular back up guitarist. I wish you had also been hired on the Runaway Horses Tour.

[@pmafterdark]

Loved Belinda back in the 80's with the Go Go's.

[@matthewclark9652]

Belinda's "Runaway Horses" (3rd album or CD from late 1989) is a must have!! The late George Harrison (The Beatles) plays guitar on "Leave A Light On"!!

[@josettedupres66]

I fully agree every song on that ablum nice

[@Nature-Remedies23]

How that album was shunned by the Grammy Awards proves those award shows are a farce. That album I believe is one of the greatest pop rock records ever recorded

[@stevabobic]

​@@Nature-Remedies23You are definitely under the influence of some illegal substances, or something worse, when you write such nonsense! 🤣

[@rickratliff9017]

Belinda was awesome!

[@captng]

What a blast from a fun remarkable day ❤🎉

[@tapanim6576]

Belinda was and still is amazing. ❤ Love her new song/video "Big Big Love" (2023) and her new EP Kismet.

[@oceanlover3530]

Her new song, Sanity, is sooooo good! Has a ‘60’s vibe to it. ✌🏻

[@gatekeeperboxing5898]

This woman is just the most adorable to look at and listen to. I fell in love with her music before I realised what she looked like (Heaven on Earth & Runaway Horses albums initially), and then obviously was bowled over by her looks too. After 6 failed attempts I did eventually get to meet her in person, to my disappointment I found it pretty difficult to say much, but at least I did meet her briefly.

[@gatekeeperboxing5898]

@@joydarling314 It was alot more recently than this video in 2004, so obviously she was older but still nice, not like in this video though. I was lucky because there were only 5 or 6 people waiting behind after the gig, previously there had been alot more and I couldn't get a look in at all.

[@joydarling314]

Thanks for answering my questions appreciate it

[@joydarling314]

How tall do you think she is in real life

[@gatekeeperboxing5898]

​@@joydarling314 As a rough guess i'd say around 5 foot 4 to 5 foot 6 inches, but it's just a guess from how tall I remember her being when in her presence. She was a similar height to my sister, maybe slightly taller but I don't remember if she wore high heels or not.

[@user-my4br9uu6q]

Я ещё в 90х слушал её студийники...а сейчас смотрю всегда живые выступления, люблю Белинду живую!!!

[@lynseymariecrozier1625]

I love this song. My favourite song.

[@stevabobic]

Oh thank you so much for this! I can not believe! Just yesterday I was begging you to post this great performance! You really made my day! I hope you will post her other performances soon? It would be nice if you could do a special episode about bringing them together? Also, if you have a performance of THE GO-GO'S in your impressive archive? Thanks in advance and a big greeting to all of you!🍺🍺from Steve!

[@HWTX_CN]

WOOOW!!!

[@docnflossie7351]

Thanks!❤🎉😊

[@eaglerocvox3277]

Wonderful Voice...Earth Soul Blues RocknRoll...

[@MrCHAIRMANOFTHEBORED]

I always loved to watch the Johnny Carson show!!!!! I'm sure that I'm not the only guy here who found Belinda Carlisle to be very attractive!!!!!

[@TheEman590]

You aren't. Belinda and the other ladies in the go-gos were very attractive. Belindas husband is a lucky guy

[@DaveShmadeCalabria]

Adorable

[@ariella4444]

She looks so amazing and stunning with auburn hair. WOW ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@steveconn]

Love Mad About You from that same period on Letterman.

[@kylewinward8847]

My favorite Belinda performance from this period is I Get Weak on David Letterman. I even recorded it on VHS. 😊

[@josettedupres66]

Love her

[@mormusicclips8959]

Would love to see the 5th Dimension in all their glory. I believe they sand One Less Bell to Answer and it was fantastic. Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis also appeared on the show many times, please post their performances as well. Thank you, love the channel!!

[@golfhk]

Total live performance. Never happen in nowadays

[@baladinbaladin2549]

Ma jeunesse(27a) je l'adore depuis toujours

[@melcrose]

Cyndi Lauper appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson on multiple occasions. Here are some of her notable appearances: July 27, 1984 - "She Bop" October 26, 1984 - "All Through the Night" September 6, 1986 - "True Colors"

[@stevabobic]

Hello! Do you happen to know how many times Belinda Carlisle performed on these shows and what songs she sang? Thanks in advance.

[@melcrose]

@@stevabobic Chat GPT - Yes, Belinda Carlisle did appear on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" several times during her career as a singer. Some of her appearances on the show include: March 4, 1986: Belinda Carlisle performed her hit song "Mad About You" on the show. May 16, 1987: Carlisle performed "I Get Weak" and "Circle in the Sand" on the show. January 18, 1988: Carlisle appeared on the show to promote her album "Heaven on Earth" and performed the title track. June 27, 1989: Carlisle performed "Leave a Light On" on the show. January 10, 1990: Carlisle appeared on the show to promote her album "Runaway Horses" and performed "Summer Rain". These are just a few examples of Belinda Carlisle's appearances on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson."

[@stevabobic]

@@melcrose Thank you for this information. I didn't know about performances with songs MAD ABOUT YOU, HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH and SUMMER RAIN. While the rest of the performances are known to me from before, from some of the You Tube channels. Of course, the recordings are of catastrophically poor quality. As if VHS survived the hydrogen bomb test! You made a few mistakes: the songs I GET WEAK and CIRCLE IN THE SAND could not have been performed in May 1987 because the album went on sale in October of the same year. Which I guess means those songs weren't even in pre-production at the time? This performance with CIRCLE IN THE SAND was realized on June 16, 1988. That's what it says in the description of this recording. She didn't sing the song I GET WEAK 100% in the same show, because she was dressed completely differently, like completely different guests in the studio! So the information is wrong, de facto. It is possible that when she sang I GET WEAK she also sang CIRCLE IN THE SAND, but as part of this guest appearance in 1987, there is no chance! I think that video still exists on You Tube. You probably permuted, it is possible that she sang HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH and after the interview I GET WEAK (or in reverse order?) Find it and see for yourself. Thank you again and best regards from Steve.

[@seanhoffman4377]

Read the room 🙄

[@roguewarr4662]

So 80s music

[@cliffords.8341]

Love this song. Did Moody Blues perform on Johnny Carson's show maybe playing Nights and White Satin, if so do you have the video?

[@eoinh1]

That would be great. Anything by the MBs

[@melcrose]

During their appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" on May 23, 1983, Haircut 100 performed their hit single "Love Plus One."

[@stevenotte1380]

Love her daises.

[@ghost-bastivierspurrap9913]

Cool fan request

[@stevabobic]

Thank you, I'm glad you like it! 🍺🍺

[@big8dog887]

Red was (and still is) a good choice.

[@jnyfumare]

Oooh be careful of your drink Belinda...!! I see ol' Jell-O Pop sitting next to you.

[@big8dog887]

Fortunately, Ed was there to keep him in line.

[@FielLyngdoh]

Thanks Johnny. for this video. I saw this one before but the audio quality is not as good as this one. Can you please upload some more Belinda's stuff with improved audio quality.

[@stevabobic]

Hello. No need to thank that Johnny, because he's not alive. I don't know why no one thanked me, because I personally requested this footage?! I have left requests countless times on all the other recordings posted up to that point. As a sign of support, I got one or two likes each. And when I was disappointed, and wrote it in the comment, they finally reacted and posted this video. The very next day. I went on and on asking for her other performances, but of course they wouldn't think of putting them up. If the other fans demanded those recordings instead of constantly writing nonsense about how they were in love with her, how she has the most beautiful voice, and a bunch of pathetic comments, maybe the editor of this channel would react. So you're hoping for nothing if you think we'll be seeing them anytime soon... Best regards.

[@melcrose]

The Bangles performed "Manic Monday" on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson on May 1, 1986.

[@stevabobic]

By the way, I don't know if any of you noticed that during the performance, Linda was wearing white shoes, and then those same shoes somehow strangely turned black when she sat in the chair and talked to the host!?🤨🧐🤔

[@melcrose]

Duran Duran appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson on October 10, 1988. They performed their hit single "I Don't Want Your Love" from their album "Big Thing."

[@melissatyree566]

Why are they talking about her hair???

[@melcrose]

Simple Minds appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" on February 24, 1986. The band performed their hit song "Sanctify Yourself."

[@edmahonejr.9364]

Damn, when I saw Bill Cosby setting aside bilinda … the first thing I thought of was I hope she never drinks anything that BILL may offer her after the show… she was absolutely gorgeous

[@glennriddle285]

Do you have any country shows with Jimmy Dean Hosting?

[@roguewarr4662]

So 80s music by B Carlisle

[@beliviatrue]

What year was this? 86? 87?

[@gregdsmusiccaptures1578]

June, 1988

[@noahingram569]

Gta 5 brought me here beautiful song

[@melcrose]

Chris de Burgh appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson on October 23, 1987. During his appearance, he performed his hit song "Lady in Red."

[@Trump-rv4nz]

I miss this show.

[@dennishenson5923]

I do too. I’m 64 years old and imho it was the best show on tv. Late night tv has not been the same since Johnny Carson retired.

[@leighterry943]

What a voice & talent, & she sounds just as amazing live, as on her records! She's beautiful & classy, & she never objectified herself, to sell records, because she didn't need to because she's a true talent, and one of the most stunningly, beautiful women in the world, and I respect that she's not like the musicians that started stripping, to sell records! She's one in 1 million, and this was a glorious time in music, when music was about music and feel good vibes, not all of this filthy and scandalous criminal activity that was ushered in, in the late 90s and is pervasive, today! Even the ones talented Mariah Carey, sold out and started looking like a stripper, which started during butterfly and continues on, ad nauseam! These musicians should take a page out of Belinda's book! She still just as amazing, live, today, and just as beautiful, and she can still sing, wonder of wonders! She is still in her heyday!

[@swheels2608]

Is that Phil X on guitar?

[@user-lc6fu5cw8e]

[@MantisEsquire]

Is that Donna Delory Madonnas back up dancer/singer??

[@alinabeelkhan8736]

A very special tune is missing here after "baby can you me"

[@SamElliottsStache]

It's sad how classy the 80s were compared to nowadays. I remember when the old timers back then complained about the youth. Ironic.

[@ericaknesek3266]

Poor Johnny Carson he cannot figure out that generation however what a great show get over there come on come on you didn’t see yourself come on do it happens when you’re naughty that’s what happens OK no no OK Woopsie no

[@thyslop1737]

You comment is jibberish, one long run on sentence, jabberwocky.

[@stevabobic]

If all of you who leave the usual, irrelevant comments had instead requested the editor of this channel to post more footage of Belinda Carlisle performing, we'd probably have all of those footage available today. Like this, forget you'll ever see them on this channel. "Thank you" for not using your brains....👎

[@paulgonzalez5272]

So beautifully respectful of her audience....not like today's vulgar and trashy looking singers....both male and female

[@chestercopperpot9294]

RIP Belinda

[@David_USF]

She's still alive.

[@stevabobic]

Rest In Pain, Chester...

[@teddywestside4816]

Doing an 8 ball with her is a fantasy of mine.

[@JDAbelRN]

Quite ironically, she was addicted to numerous drugs in the Eighties, but got sober. So sincerely doubt an 8 Ball is in the future, because I asked my Magic Eight Ball😂❤

[@MrX-wd8cm]

does not feel like 1988

[@20alphabet]

A short guy with a hairy chest by the name of Paul Barnes back in the early 80s claimed to have had a one night stand with her.

[@cbass2755]

So what? Those were the days…..besides, she could have anyone she wanted

[@glennvieregge934]

In his dreams .

[@losendos5577]

pics or it didnt happen

[@TonyMontanaDS]

What a dumb interview. Carson was terrible.

[@lbvfdbrf]

Шикарно😍

[@JDAbelRN]

Belinda Carlisle can really pull off the big hair look of the Eighties ❤
