BENNY MARDONES - Into The Night

[@dennisscheeler3098]

My wife Michelle and I fell in love together with this tune as a backdrop in 1980. I was a rock & roll radio announcer and she was (and remains) a staggeringly beautiful woman who after 37 years still owns my heart. To hear it still makes my cry...

[@beverlykorte8581]

Beautiful story 💕🙏🏼,

[@jeanettedodds9774]

Beautiful Dennis.

[@jerryphillips5112]

My wife and I of 33 years. We fell in love to this song also. I loved the original from 1980. Then in 1989 the re-recorded came out. I had just Graduated from High School that year. We had been dating a year then. She Graduated in 1990 and we married in 1991. She was 16 years old when we met. I've loved her ever since! ❤️

[@rikimarudonchelie1229]

[@jackmehoff7430]

This song is an eternal masterpiece, sung by the master himself. Gives me chills each time. Once in a generation voice.

[@greenred2121]

I love this song.... Reminds me when I was a child and hearing it on the radio and getting a feeling of just being in a whole other world.... Hard to explain

[@mangmerciless9606]

I know exactly how u feel.

[@Pyramid1974]

+Marie Marin probably the exact feeling that he was trying to capture with this song... shame it came out wrong with the original video..lol Although this song just moves me in a way that no other does, I can't help but wonder how he could make a video where he sings to a "minor", climbs thru her bedroom window obviously against her fathers consent and then makes out with her on a rug at the end and try to come off like he just cared for a girl that was troubled.. lol (the original vid for this song that is) I don't think he thought things through..lol

[@mangmerciless9606]

+KMurdock1974 Well he says that she's 16, maybe he's 18. Not a big difference but she's still not the age of consent.

[@Aliof]

I hope you are safe and well Benny, where ever you are. You managed to set millions of hearts on fire, brighten up many dark nights, forced many couples to dance together and finally many couples ended up under the same blanket because of this wonderful melody. We thank you and wish you the best.

[@MichaelPowellAlabama]

I absolutely love Benny Mardones, he has the right vocal for this love song! The story is of a young sixteen year old girl who's having her heart broken by young men. He feels her hurt, her pain and he knows that there's nothing that he can do about it so, he is saying to her that he wishes that he could take her away from all of her pain for a night and show her what true love is. Of course, to guide and to protect her. Benny does sang the hell out of this song with an amazing vocal range.

[@vanillaexplosion99]

+John Waters Not true. In most states the age of consent is 16. Sixteen is a go age.

stephen dwyer I went to an indian pow wow a couple of months ago. Guess what? Out of hundreds of people there claiming to be native American only a handful looked like real indians or native Americans. Most of these want to be indians looked very scot irish & german. Some people want to be different for self esteem issues,so they look into their genealogy and find one indian relative from a hundred years ago and now wah lah they are now indians themselves. But hey, I guess you are what you think you are. I have thought about being a bear and I wonder if its is possible? HMMMM sure it is if I believe.

[@dorianisthewriter]

This is like, my favorite song of all time. Such heartfelt passion in his singing. Heard it first in 1986, and loved it ever since.

[@333Jewels]

I know exactly what you mean. My Mother was my very best friend and she and I both LOVED this song. The voice is incredible with such raw emotion. When she passed a big part of my heart and soul disappeared with her. This song helps to restore them (even if only temporary) and bring back that feeling of unconditional love that no one, but no one can have for you but your Mother. ~

[@Tabbygirl06]

Benny Mardones is an exceptionally talented singer/songwriter. How do you know this isn't written from the point of view of a 20 year old??? Benny was 34 years old when he sang this. The song does say "I would wait til the end of time for you". I was 18 years old when this song came out and when I see pictures of him 10 years later, I wish I was this girl. He's 61 now and has Parkinsons. This man should have been an International Superstar!!!

[@uselessjoe]

The video and first line of the song is a bit misleading... Into the Night" is a song that deals in themes of abandonment and aiding, about helping to lift someone out of a tough situation. Benny Mardones said the 16-year-old girl he's singing about was named Heidi, and she lived in his apartment in Spanish Harlem. Their relationship was purely platonic, however, after her father left her mother for a young 24 year old woman, Benny looked after Heidi, along with her brother and sister. Benny would pay her $50 a week to walk his basset hound, Zanky, give her other sister money for cleaning his apartment once a week, and give her brother money to run little errands for him..."

[@Autumn_Forest_]

I am a woman, age 38, and not extremely trusting of men who look at young girls 'that' way...but this song is actually a LOVE song, nothing perverse - just beautiful, pure, and sincere. I think the lyrics are amazingly poetic without being cheesy, and he is romantic without coming off as a desperate perv. Now that's an AMAZING feat in itself. One of the most gorgeous love songs ever written, and one of the best vocalists ever. Such raw emotion, straight from the heart. Timeless.

From what I understand, Benny’s wild, wounded animal vocalizing was part of the demo track, because they had no saxophonist, but he thought he’d vocalize the sax riffs. The managers couldn’t get enough of the vocalizing and kept Benny’s voice in the final track rather than find a saxophonist to do those riffs. It’s sure hot, isn’t it!
