Tim Curry Official Music Video - Paradise Garage

Official music video for Tim Curry's 'Paradise Garage' from the 1979 album 'Fearless'. This video was often played in a double bill with 'I Do The Rock' before midnight screenings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
I have uploaded this from my personal collection as the video is already on KZbin but out of sync and poorer quality. Enjoy!

Tim is a national treasure. I hate that we all get old and fall victim to various illnesses but I'm so grateful to have lived throughout and witnessed Tim's amazing career. You are still the greatest, Tim. You always will be.

[@susanfarley1332]

As an old person who is also a big fan of his, l want to say this... No matter how old you look on the outside, you still feel like a 25 year old inside. So the next time you look at an old person think of the beautiful young girl or handsome young man that might be inside that person. Of course there are those who also are old inside, but I don't think Tim is like that.

[@jeaniee.6283]

[@robertvaldez4864]

To be completely honest, I think we could have handled him getting older without a doubt I say that with all my heart. It's when someone has a stroke / heart attack It destroys him in so many ways. I know there are Tim Curry fans that are out there ...that if The Gods stated We would return him back to health if everyone gave up one day of their lives for him. I have a feeling that every person that loved Tim Curry would do it, I know I would.

[@sweetsuzie9346]

When I was a 14, my dad was the projectionist at the most popular Rocky Horror midnight show in Atlanta. One night, Tim Curry and Richard O'Brian came to the theatre to see the show....he gave me an autographed fearless album....and I wore it out! this was great! I didn't know a video existed lol - love it!

[@lunarvision]

Such an awesome story!!

[@JamieTransNyc]

@@lunarvision They used to play this and "I do the Rock" before the Rocky Horror films in NYC (I think it was the 13th street theater) in the 1980's.

[@user-zh8yv3qx1q]

I remember they years to show this before each showing of rocky horror

[@minxstole93]

Oh dude, I'm ridiculously jealous of you but still, that's so freaking great!! I would've pulled a Wayne and Garth and gotten on my knees and started worshipping at their feet while proclaiming "I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!" But it's funny this happened to you at 14 because that was about the same age that I was when I discovered Tim Curry's Fearless album thanks to Limewire (oof that dates me quite a bit, doesn't it?) and so I looked up the album in KZbin and so I became very familiar with this vid and the one for my personal favorite track from that album, I Do The Rock. 😋

[@anglomik]

I remember seeing this at the cinema, prior to a midnight movie presentation of "Rocky Horror." There were college girls in the theater screaming like it was Elvis!

[@blue71ss454]

Our theater would play This, I do the Rock, and Paradise by the Dashboard lights before Rocky Horror. Awesome childhood :)

[@scocassovegetus]

Really? wow, interesting!

[@rosemarywage9917]

I WISH TIM CURRY WOULD PLAY FRANK-N-FURTER IN THE ROCKY HORROR: LET DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN IN 2016. THAT WOULD BE PERFECT.

[@evilferris]

I wonder if this was a really common thing to do (along with Bat Out Of Hell) or if we’re all talking about the same theater.

The reaction to a drag Frank N’Furter passing on the street is priceless. Tim Curry is so much more than TRHPS.

[@Lovelybby24]

I think I’ve ever seen him in was either Home Alone or the Witches Ghost, but what I distinctly remember him in and remember going “I know him” is Criminal Minds. He’s really done it all, he’s funny and has talent. Though my favourite thing of his is the Rock Horror Picture Show I do love him in everything. I even just remembered he was in Annie, he really has done it all.

[@MarkDRStern]

Where he sings "Hit the CEILING" ~ Damn! That voice! He just might have been too "theatrical" for some (thus the less-than-stellar singing career) ... but not for me! I think he was just before his time ~ After all, plenty of groups with a theatrical quality came along later ... I'll always treasure my Tim Curry albums! He's a one-of-a-kind, that's for sure ...

Been a big admirer of his since RHPS was released and use to have all of his albums on vinyl: 1) Read My Lips; 2) Fearless; 3) Simplicity; 4) The Very Best of and 4) One From the Vaults. Sadly I lost these and many more when I lost my job, lost my apartment and was homeless for a while. I'm ok now, but these albums can never be replaced.

I'm sure you can find a copy on eBay. :)

I like how Tim stares at her like she's from Mars, then does a full-on Frank vocal in the next verse: "You wouldn't think that I'd spent hours outside/French polishing my cool." He doesn't really go there elsewhere here or "I Do The Rock;" it's like a callback for the fans.

I think you're quite wrong. You have to remember music video's were in their infancy at this time. And Tim Curry is as good at music as he is in acting. Most performers don't have near the training, experience, and range as he does. He's been in just about every type of performing there is.
