Absolutely agree! So glad Jay chose to highlight this song. When it first came out, I was surprised to discover that I actually liked this song musically a lot better than the Pina Collada Song.

I can't believe the insulting and rude comments being made on Jay's channel. Okay, we get it, lots of you like Amber and maybe miss her. She has a channel called Amber's Reactions, go listen to her there and stop bombarding the comment fields with inappropriate writings. If you are a fan of both, please support both. There is no need to disparage Jay's channel to make a point that you know nothing of to begin with. If you are unhappy here just bow out peacefully. I am sure Jay would love to have your support, but not at the insubordinate comments written here. Just wow, to the lack of decency and respect! Jay always closes with how we should uphold each other and to shed a little love, where is that LOVE people? He and Amber have 3 beautiful children, and someday, they may come across these comments, be mindfulof this.

Yeah, there were a LOT of "I'm alone now" songs on late-1970s easy-listening radio. My dad bought Barry Manilow's "Even Now" album, the one with "Copacabana" and "Can't Smile Without You" on it. EVERY song was a depresso-fest, no matter how positive or playful the music sounded. It's from 1978, but I think Dad didn't buy it until after the (ETERNAL) divorce started in 1981. Understandably. (The interesting part is that it was a whole bunch of songwriters on the album. Barry must have been VERY specific about what he was looking for.)

Jay...Rupert Holmes is a masterful songwriter. As many have suggested he got on the map with a song called "Timothy" that he wrote for a band called The Bouys. The song charted at number 17 on the top 100 Billboard. What was interesting about the song was it was not promoted by the record company at first but young listeners focused in on what was going on with "Timothy" and the song took off getting airplay. The record company promoted it at that point but then it got banned by some stations. However, younger listeners of the day loved the song and a station that banned it was replaced by others that jumped on the train to play it and the ban flopped. The song is well played, produced and well written. The lead singer sadly passed away recently. It is a great pop song by a clever RUPERT HOLMES.

You came back to Rupert Holmes, now please come back to Falco. You heard Rock Me Amadeus. Listen to the original Der Kommissar, as he was the original performer of it. Also Jeanny, Coming Home (Jeanny Pt. 2), Vienna Calling, Junge Roemer, Satellite to Satellite, Walls of Silence, Ganz Wien, Out of the Dark, and The Spirit Never Dies. He was a huge star in the Germanic countries, but he was so entertaining regardless and a lot of his music should be listened to.

Jay, hope all is well with you, Amber, and the family. You both are great - together or doing your own things. There will always be haters - pay them no attention. I know you get more suggestions than you could ever listen to but if you come across this comment, check out The Michael Stanley Band - try out "In Between The Lines" for a banger and "Lover" for an incredible ballad. Hoping you both keep doing what you're doing but never forget that family is more important than anything so if the channel/channels needs to be sacrificed, no one could fault you for that.

Rupert was a great musical story teller. Everyone loved the (Escape) Pinacolatos song, but "HIM" showed his vocal talent. Reminds me a lot of Christopher Cross or Jim Crose vibe. As far as Jay n Amber I like Amber as much as everyone, but I started watching when it was just Jay and I've been a fan for close to 3 years. We can support both and let them work it out. Jay how about those Bengals? They never quit or gave up it's just a good lesson. Hang in there Bud.

Yes. Rupert did have a good set of pipes. It's easy to think of him as a one-hit wonder, but he's far from that. He came from a musical family, with his brother being a noted singer in the NY theatre community. Can't remember his name as I'm digging deep into my musical archive brain! Rupert was a session musician (those guys are always good) before finding his own top-of-the-charts success. Escape and Him are easily his biggest hits, but he had three or four other top 100 hits, although more backend of the charts, IIRC. He also wrote some hits for other musicians. He's written Broadway musicals, and is also an author. He's the only person to have had a #1 hit, won a Tony Award, and won an Edgar Award for best mystery novel. That last part I only recently found out. Holmes is his stage name, in honor of Sherlock Holmes.

From the same album -try the song "Answering Machine". Keeping in mind that the telephone answering machine was relatively new thing in 1980.

This is a great song, and I ran across another song of his that I just love, TERMINAL. That one is unbelievably beautiful. Hope you'll react to that one at some point. That was an earlier song but boy it's special.
