"Infatuation" by Rod Stewart is my fave song of his.

It is a great song!!

[@kenttaylor9238]

Took a little searching but the the pop locking dancer is known as "Coolpockets," his real name is Paul Guzman- Sanchez and there is a documentary about him called The Coolpockets Story. Hope that helps dude. Also I think someone else may have already pointed out the guitar lead in this track was played by Dire Straits frontman, Mark Knopfler.

[@SuperTicklemonsters]

I didn't know Mark Knopfler was on this but, now that you said it, I can totally hear it.

[@CaliforniasGoldCoast]

Thanks for that info. Kent. I'm going to check out Coolpockets. I loved how Paul Harvey had The Rest of the story and Vin Scully

[@BobSoltis1]

Mark Knopfler did NOT play on this track. Guitar work was done by Jim Cregan who was a long time collaborator of Stewart's. Cregan co-wrote many hits with Stewart, including "Passion", "Tonight I'm Yours (Don't Hurt Me)", and "Forever Young" (1988). Cregan received thirteen multi-platinum awards for his work with Stewart and together they have thirty recorded songs to their joint credit.

[@BobSoltis1]

@@SuperTicklemonsters - Shows what the power of suggestion does. Knopfler did NOT play on this track. Jim Cregan did the guitar work. (see my comment above)

[@kenttaylor9238]

@@BobSoltis1 my bad. A 1984 interview from Guitar Player magazine hinted that he did. After reading it again it sounds like they were suggesting his playing style was a heavy influence.

[@jojowhite9296]

This song hits home with me in so many ways. In June of 1981 a few weeks after H.S. my wife and I took off and got married. We lived and grew up in Ohio. 6 months later this song comes out and we're living in San Antonio. A job offer took us to New Hampshire, Mississippi , California and back to Ohio. Through it all we raised two sons. I worked while my wife attended college. Almost 40 years later, I retired two weeks ago, my wife as a Masters Degree in Education and has been teaching for over 30 years. Life is never easy when you get married young without an advanced degree. We struggled a lot but never gave up and soon we'll be taking off for Phoenix.

[@Isleofskye]

Great Story but I am 67 and like Rod from London and I have only lived in 2 London addresses and just 10 miles apart. The first from 1954-1983 in Inner South East London and the second on the 9th May,1983 to this house on the edge of South East London and THe English County of Kent and I could not even imagine living 50 yards away :) Good Luck..

[@pdmullgirl]

I love this song!! Such a good song when you’re young and your whole life is ahead of you. You think you’re never gonna get old and everything is smooth sailing. And then, bam, real life hits! But such a great feel good song. Thanks Jamel. ❤️💜💚

[@heathinvaderstudios]

Saw Rod Stewart in the 2018 New Orleans Jazz Festival, filling in the spot that was supposed to be Aretha Franklin’s (he played at the Mardis Gras a few months earlier, which is how they got him onboard). He treated it like it was always his. He also gave his background singers and musicians some of the spotlight, one of the singers he dedicated the end of the concert to. The reason why was because it was her last concert with Rod before leaving to follow her dream to become a Broadway star. It was one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to, maybe even THE best one!

[@anyamanning9427]

I was lucky enough to see Rod at the Pyramid in Memphis. Rod put on an amazing, high energy show. Pure class.

[@donwoodard2204]

Yes i was at that show i drove from Texas, the crowd really loved him that night as i remember and Mardi gras too !!! 🙂

[@lynnchotoocho9713]

Hey Jamal, you might want to add " Forever Young " & " The Killing of Georgie " to your line-up of Rod Stewart classics.

"The killing of Georgie" to me, showed a level to Rod I'd never suspected.

Definitely should check out This Old Heart of Mine ft. Ronald Isley, Some Guys Have All The Luck, Rhythm of My Heart and Forever Young. I also suggest his love letter to Motown - The Motown Song ft. The Temptations If you want to hear the sad songs - I Don't Want to Talk About It, Reason to Believe, The First Cut is The Deepest and I Know I'm Losing You. If you are looking for more nostalgic and sweet - Sailing, Downtown Train, Have I Told You Lately That I Love You, You're in My Heart and You Wear it Well.

Jamal- thank you so much for the hours of enjoyment you have brought me. A lot of memories, a lot of new takes on old favorites, and some rediscovered music from my youth. I would like to request The Communards cover of "Never Can Say Goodbye". They were one of the first (and few) openly gay pop groups. The main instrumentalist is now a Church of England priest, and is on British TV quite a bit, as a panelist on matters great and small, including classical music. They did quite a few covers during their years as pop stars, and this is one of my favorites (along with "Don't Leave Me This Way"). Again, thank you for keeping great music alive.
