tender years

[@oscarjetson128]

Damn... who else wants to go back to this era of the 80's when this movie was released?

[@mikestansberry8656]

In a heart beat!

[@terrygracy8345]

I loved catching it on HBO When HBO would mix in some great older movies with the new releases.

[@88Kimberly888]

I'd give anything to go back. I think about it atleast once a day. Everything went to shit now and when i think back my eyes tear up.

[@creed200569]

Let’s all appreciate the real band who made this music. John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band

[@shable1436]

He got lucky didn't he? Or else nobody would have heard of the beaver brown band

[@patton303]

My parents actually met at this bar in 1968. Tony Mart’s in Somers Point, NJ, on a blind date. This is the real place and all of the biggest bands played there. The old timers in town all said this movie captured the era perfectly. My folks are both gone now but I can watch this and picture them being cool young college kids in the crowd.

[@richhickman6863]

I used to hang there and The Dunes between Somers Point, Longport,and Ocean City.Great memories. The college scene was Haverford College in Pa.

[@ricflairsalligators4262]

In the early 2000’s diorios had bands in somers point but no more

[@adambruno6123]

Yeah I saw John cafferty in Philly late 2023

[@JDByers3]

Anyone here is 2024 ? Eddie and the Cruisers is such an underrated soundtrack.

"Eddie and the Cruisers" is one of those gems that came right out of the 80's. The soundtrack is great and also the movie..

Got married in 82 my wife passed on 3 years ago we watched this move time n time n again tried asking a cowgirl to dance worth a rock n roller by the grace of God we got that far

[@HorrorHermitofHell]

I saw John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band with my at the time fiancé. He kind of made fun of the songs and I nearly tossed his ring back at him! He heard this tune and changed his mind. He passed in 2005 and I just randomly clicked on this video and yeah, I'm not crying, you're crying. It hits so much more now that he's gone.

[@loveinspired7]

I don't understand how this movie was considered a "flop" after its theatrical release. I loved it!💙

[@carmenronyak1321]

Greedy liars in the monopolized media ,sell souls, is "the why"

[@tonyjones1560]

Same here. I told my wife that IMO these movies might (arguably) be the best “rock and roll movies” ever made…!

[@Daniel-po8eb]

Because the overacting by the worst actor on the planet Pare) absolutely sucked to watch. The stupid exaggerated mouthing of the song's words just looked stupid.

[@loveinspired7]

​@@Daniel-po8eb 😂😂😂😂😂 I agree that he was never slated to win an Academy Award with this performance, but c'mon, "Tender Years" is a beautiful ballad! The movie itself made be cheesy, but at least it introduced most of us to "John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band!"

[@jim6025]

Sound track is amazing but the movie itself isn’t very good

[@craigbogart8424]

2023 been loving it from day 1 back in the 80s please don't go tender years....I was 16 at the time this hit...👍👍👍❤❤❤❤

[@scottielise]

When Frank finishes the piano solo, it's silent for a beat. Wendell gives him this look like: "Hell yeah." My sentiments exactly, Wendell.

[@matthewwolf2054]

the piano playing, represented the magic of a summer fling...then it flighs and fades away.

I thank GOD for my father that has already past away for he tought me what good music was.

[@SonnyLemoine]

I remember as a kid in the 80's watching this on HBO for the first time. My Father got upset I watched it so many times more over the following weeks. Every time is was on. Got me into music even more then I already was. I was 13 in 1983. I just turned 50. This song. This video. This movie. Is a classic.

[@cynthiapena9846]

That is funny cuz I turned 50 in July.

Me too

[@sistertracy-thechurchofroc6574]

I remember seeing it when it came out. I was 12. Had an instant crush on Michael Paré., or "Eddie". I don't think I was the only one. Smoldering good looks. Forever immortalized as "Eddie Wilson", the mysterious rockstar who you want so badly to believe escaped and is still alive out there somewhere, too cool for fame, but still rockin small little joints all over Europe. AND he has a cool dog named "Elvis". 😁

[@flagal519]

Michael Pare was a stunningly beautiful man...I , too, had the instant crush :)

[@suchstyles]

80’s …. Memories of my youth 🥹 … what a time it was!

I just wish the younger generation will find a song or two that they will remember throughout their lifetimes. TENDER YEARS really says it all and brings back memories of a time I almost forgot about, a time in my life when things were taken for granted. My first love, family and friends. I married my first love and we're still married after 44 years but things are different now. I really do miss THE TENDER YEARS and apparently after reading the postings I'm not alone.

this movie and these songs never get old to me!!!!

[@efan2012]

Wendell's reaction makes this scene work so damn well.. Eddie was getting into it and Wendell gave his seal of approval while the others were jealous, what a scene. Wendell was the true soul of that band along with Eddie, once he died it ruined them and Eddie especially. One reason why I love 2 is he gets another chance with Hilton who was just like him. Rick was his second Frank in his own way. Why I love 2 as much as this one.

[@captainpharaoh]

And in Eddie II, he gets it right, like Sal hoped he would.

[@ruthanderson360]

Hi Wendell the saxophone player is also the original saxophone player from John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band. He was lucky to be in the movie Eddie and the Cruisers

[@joeltaylor8223]

I like having any Cruisers Eddie Wilson is like having Elvis Presley and Eddie and at both at the same place at your front door it's like the directions Brothers and all Blossom memories the soul of the song from the heart can't have nothing else with that having a woman next to you with true love it means something. MPS these songs have never die as long as they live Eddie and Elvis Presley Righteous Brothers and all the oldies who live on in our hearts every day never night the soul is from the heart and the heart is the soul and Spirit so that I live rock on .
