@@tkmoore6057 I personally don’t know anyone who doesn’t love the movie, “Pretty Woman”. It’s just a fun movie. I’ve probably seen it start to finish about 30 times. And I have great taste. 😃 Some of my favorite shows are, “Breaking Bad”, “Better Call Saul”, “The Handmaid’s Tale”, “Game of Thrones”, “Sopranos”, “Shameless”, and “Dexter” to name a few. I know they aren’t movies, but I just had to list them.
Glad you got around to Go West. Some other great songs are We Close Our Eyes, Don't Look Down, Call Me, Goodbye Girl. Peter Cox, the lead singer has a fantastic voice!
Pretty Woman was released in 1990. VERY underrated band. HUEY LEWIS? REALLY? We Close Our Eyes, Call Me, Don't Look Down, Goodbye Girl, Missing Persons, What You Won't Do For Love, Crystal Ball, Glow, a GREAT cover of Tracks Of My Tears
Go West was one of my favorite 80's bands. We Close Our Eyes is classic. Don't Look Down is amazing. Peter Cox has one of the best voices in pop music. Would love to hear more!
Sooooooo good! This was playing overhead in the store and I'm just singing and dancing to it and around the corner I go to find a lovely lady singing and dancing to it too and, well, we sang and danced to it together! Right there, in the store, with everyone thinking we were crazy! Best time ever!
They also had a song on the “White Men Can’t Jump” Soundtrack called “Never Let Them See You Sweat”. Also another fav is the remake of a Bobby Caldwell classic “What You Won’t Do (Do For Love)” that is very good. Love Go West a favorite.❤
@@clh35It's the most 80s sounding song of the 90s. It's technically made with 80s equipment and has its classic nusic arrangement. That's why people connect the song with the 80s. 90s were more Eurodance, Techno, Grunge, Brit Pop and Hip Hop.
This was their biggest hit, but they had another one called "Faithful" that was awesome. Peter Cox is actually a pretty impressive vocalist, and people sometimes thought he was African American. He absolutely kills it in "Faithful", and also does a great cover of Bobby Caldwell's "What You Won't Do For Love", which was also covered by 2Pac.
Man I miss the 80's so much. Such a great time for those of us lucky enough to grow up during that time. Great music, great movies, great cartoons, just great things all around.
Yaaaaaay, glad you found Go West. Their first UK hit was We Close Our Eyes...... I think Amber might enjoy the video 😉😁. Peter Cox knows how to rock a white vest and a wrench😁
I agree. Their debut album was awesome! Two of my favorite musicians, the late Alan Murphy and Pino Palladino played on their releases. Pino played with Paul Young's band and Murphy joined Level 42 in 1988. Sadly he passed away in 1990.
Thanks so much for this review Jay and Amber ☺. Go West are fab. 'The King is Dead', 'Goodbye Girl', 'What You Won't Do for Love', 'Call Me' and Never Let 'em See you Sweat' are amongst my favourites. Their album 'Indian Summer' is sublime ♥.
Awww, thanks for your reaction you two. This one brings back a lot of memories. 1990 was one heck of a year. Just reminds me of an ex from so long ago.
In the UK, 1990 was all about acid house / rave music, and baggy jangle indie music. It was a strange year. 1991 was better for me, with grunge and rave music improving, and then from 1992 onwards, the emergence of excellent British guitar bands.
Great reaction! Since I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, Jimmy Fallon and Paul Rudd did a shot-for-shot remake of this a few years ago. They did their own singing and it was fantastic! I'd like to throw out a suggestion for "Good Thing" by Fiine Young Cannibals for another turn of the decade bop. Keep it up y'all!
Nice reaction. Yup, I can hear some vocal similarity with Huey Lewis. Amber loves 2000s pop? Michelle Branch? Vanessa Carlton? Avril Lavigne? 😉 “We Close Our Eyes” was a great intro to Go West. “Eye To Eye” was my favorite, though. ✌🏽
GREAT CHOICE GUYS! 'Love the Beat & Easy to Dance To' (circa American Bandstand) :) Great Strings & Horns too, for BOTH J & Amber!! Going to have to take a rest now, Guys! :)
A more recent song... lol when I say recent I mean as opposed to the sixties and seventies. My kids used to love this song. 1990s I think. Along those lines you would probably love this one from 1988. Wild, Wild West by the Escape Club. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6vE5ewvxdfo.html
Yaaaaayy!!! Hell yes!! This reaction was flipping fantastic, seeing you both proper chair dancing, it’s 3am here in the Uk and I’m bopping away with you. Thanks to ya both 😀
They were very good - my ex wife had the hots for the boy Cox…😅 “Don’t Look Down” is a great pop single…I must admit that the singer has a great voice.
YES! Also their duet with Banana Rama "Ain't What You Do, It's The Way That You Do it." I loved their debut album, "Pelican West". I still play it a lot! Oops! The Bananarama duet was Fun Boy Three! 😂
@@seanswinton6242 Fun Boy Three did that song with Bananarama. 40 years later, the memory can go, I know! :( . edit- "Really Saying Something" was the other Bananarama/Fun Boy Three song.
YAY!!! YOU FINALLY PLAYED 2 OF MY 3 REQUESTS I'VE BEEN MAKING FOR THE LAST YEAR!! 1ST was Boy Meets Girl, the 2nd was this and the last is Level 42 Something about you. Thanks!!!
Go West's biggest U.S. chart hit. "The King Of Wishful Thinking" was their only single to chart in the Billboard Hot 100's Top 10, peaking @ #8 in 1990. My fav was their 1st single to chart in the U.S, a big dance club hit "We Close Our Eyes." "WCOE" peaked @ #5 on the Dance chart in 1985 but only got to #41 on the Hot 100.
the song.... "SAVE TONIGHT" by eagle eye cherry and "THAT'S WHAT LOVE CAN DO" by the musical group BOY KRAZY is very very 1990's vibes. THANKS JORDAN/AMBER. (JAY)
Clssic mid 80s .so infectious. Okay so now youve opened a rabbit hole...dive in for Living in a Box, Living in a Box..Double Captain of Her Heart. The Church, Under the Milky Way, level 42, Its over or Children Say....
Love this band. The first album is brilliant. The Bangs and Crashes album is all 12"s. Love it, too. Iwanna hear it from you, the kind is dead, From Baltimore to Paris and Little Ceasar are some of my favs from later albums. They are still going strong and are currently doing festivals and will be in tour with Wet Wet Wet, soon. Peter Cox has a great solo album out atm. Yep Superfan here. 😊 If you can find them on The Tube, Live gig from 1980s, Ball of confusion by the backing singers Carol Kenyon (the lady who sang on Temptation by Heaven 17) and Sylvia Mason Jones, is brilliant.
Totally off topic,but if you guys could start reacting to some Coheed and Cambria, this guy would he very happy. Its Progressive Rock/ power pop music and Claudio Sanchez's voice is comparable to Geddy Lee of Rush. Start with Welcome Home. The Suffering is great,too
@@brianmcmaster5112 In the UK, this one only got to number 18, whereas We Close Our Eyes made top 10. Faithful was also a hit in 1993 reaching no. 13. It's fascinating to me that certain songs or bands did better in the US or better in the UK.
Peter Cox (Lead singer) has one of the most distinctive blue eyed soul voices. Go West were compared to Hall and Oates when they released their first album. Check out their first hit "we close our eyes" or the cover of "what you won't do for love" ... or for a slower pace "The King is dead" which has a great double bass and piano in it.
Okay, now you gotta watch the movie Pretty Woman. Classic movie of the early 90s with Richard Gere and Julia Roberts. This song was great in that movie.
Paul Rudd and Jimmy Fallon did a great copycat version of this. Maybe not as good as their "You Spin Me" video, but it is good. I love all their parodies.
Unusually for you guys you seemed perhaps a little bit slow to recognise just how good Coxy's voice is on this one! Had me worried for a while there, but you were feeling him by the end. 😄 We Close Our Eyes is their next track to check out.
I had forgotten about this band. I love the song and he had a nice voice. The horns were really great too. I love at the end of the video with the kitchen sinks thrown in. I can see why he reminds you of Huey Lewis because of the dance moves but that's where the comparison ends for me. 💖💖
If you noticed, just like the lyrics are about "cheating" yourself they continuosly play with "cheating" our perception of close/far, big/small, camera angles, etc. throughout the video. It's actually a pretty ingenious concept in relation to the song.
