Into The Night (Benny Mardones) - Cover by John Scott
Hi All! Had time for another Tuesday Tuneage video. Thanks again so much for those who liked/subscribed/shared already. I really appreciate you! For those who didn't l would love if you did this time and share like crazy! I would love to get a bunch of folks listening just for the fun of it! Also if you want to be notified of new Tuesday Tuneage videos you can hit the Notify button beneath the video. I'd love it if you did!
All vocals and guitars performed by me. Plus some arranging of strings.
Something new. If we can get up to 50 subscribers on my RU-vid channel I am thinking of opening up for a request. Now keep in mind, I have to be able to sing and play it and I can't do everyone's request. But it would be fun to pick one to do. If you have a request that for me to consider please leave it in a comment on this video page on RU-vid. If we get to 50 I'll pick one to do!
Why I picked this song:
1. Let's get past the elephant in the room first. The original video of this song is creepy. A 30 something year old dude singing about a 16 year old girl. BUT in 1980 when this came out this was an anthem to a lot of kids my age who were in a situation where they might have been dating someone a bit younger (like I was). And even if not, it's just a great and well written love song. Period.
2. I've always just plain loved this song.
3. I've never had a chance to perform this song before and oh my goodness is Benny Mardones hard to sing and sound good. I was intrigued by the challenge and I hope I did him justice. His voice often has similar qualities to Steve Perry but...dirtier. Really hard.
