[@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.

[@jayhall7437]

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

[@nickhill8612]

Wow it's been a long time since I heard that and Young Turks.

[@michelleortega1514]

I have loved this man since Maggie may and still do.

[@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..

[@Bongus75]

Just kisses for this reaction!

[@deloresdunbar1464]

In the early 90's Rod Stewart had a song called Down Town Train. I loved that song then and still love it now.

[@VKrulikoski]

Still have that cd.

"Downtown Train" is a song by Tom Waits released on his album Rain Dogs in 1985. Check it out! 😀✌🏻

"Passion", "Infatuation"....Rod the Mod always keeping up with the changing tides and trends without ever selling out. He's one of the greatest frontmen/solo performers and a legendary vocalist. His concerts are top rate!

Thanks Jamel for reviewing this Video. I was born in 1976, so this was one of the first videos I have seen on MTV during the Martha Quinn Era. Keep up the great work Jamel. You have gotten me through this Pandemic and I want to express my gratitude for that.

[@kimodell101]

Yes Stay with me is a favorite

[@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 !!! 🙂

It was 1981. Just read it was the first video on MTV that contained break dancing. I remember that girl was in tons of B movies around that time

[@sv3931]

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

The killing of Georgie, almost 50 years old. It almost got banned. I was 14 when it came out. That song was a life lesson. Still is today.

I get Rod Stewart drummed into me at home, as my wife is his BIGGEST FAN (according to her) He has released a lot of new music as well, but they don’t seem to play any of it here on our local radio station. His recent albums are called “Time” and “Blood Red Roses” and are well worth a listen.

[@Mikojay]

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.
