Quarterflash were a rarity - a band where FEMALE lead singer also was the sax player! Rindy Ross formed the band with her husband Marv, and they enjoyed their greatest success in the first half of the 80s. They didn't call it quits, though ... they put out a new album just last year! This was their first big hit, but they had to others, "Find Another Fool" and "Take Me To Heart". Both are excellent. P.S. Another early 80s female led band you should check out is The Motels. "Only the Lonely" and "Suddenly Last Summer" are classics. Laura Branigan is another great one, too ("Self Control")
"Find Another Fool", "Take Me to Heart", "Right Kind of Love", and "Night Shift" are all hits for Quarterflash...really underrated band in my opinion. I'm glad you checked them out, I was pretty sure you would like them. 😁👍
I was just coming here to say the same thing but you beat me to it, I love that song! Amber, if you want to check out another awesome female sax player you owe it to yourself to check out Candy Dulfer and Dave Stewart's (The Eurythmics) Lily was here. You will not be disapointed, trust us! ua-cam.com/video/ypbjIwbTR8c/v-deo.html Also, check out Mindi Abair. She is another female sax player, and she sings too.
"Find Another Fool" is an uptempo banger. Most people think it's Pat Benatar but it's Quarterflash. Not only sax but dueling fiddle too 👍🏼 It must be next!
The wife here...Even as a small child I absolutely loved this song when it come out..As others have mentioned it was quiet a rarity to hear a female rock lead..and an amazing saxophonist..Played this record out!!!
The name came from the phrase “Rock is three quarters foolish and one quarter flash”. They said that in an interview and I thought it was such a clever way to come up with a name.
One of the few Portland bands to make it! They were originally called Seafood Mama, as they played that bar so much starting out. The bar is gone now, but it's part of the city's legend.
It's an Australia saying, 3/4 foolish & 1/4 flash. It's not about "rock" however,, usually about a showoff or charlatan. And yes, Rindy describes that in their great interview.
Quarterflash was warmup band for Loverboy in 1982 at my first ever concert, when I was 18. I got all the bandmembers to autograph this album at the record store earlier that day. Love the music still. My favorite songs from them are Valerie and Williams Avenue. ❤
Add "Night Shift" from the Movie of same name with Henry Winkler, Michael Keaton and Shelly Long. Marv Ross wrote the song along with Burt Bacarach and Carole Bayer Sager. Great tune and Great Movie.
Gotta listen to the instrumental duet "Lily Was Here" by Candy Dulfer & Dave Stewart. Candy Dulfer is great female saxophonist. Dave Stewart who plays the guitar is from the Eurythmics. The duet is like a conversation between a saxophone and a guitar.
So glad you finally did this song. I had suggested it several times and mentioned the sax. Another I've suggested numerous times and it has saxophone too is ONLY THE LONELY by the MOTELS.
YES! This is why I knew you would love her! So happy you finally reached Quarterflash! Rindy Ross is the lead singer and is so incredibly talented. Next hit up their song, "Take Me To Heart."
"Find Another Fool" and "Night Shift" by them are great. Give them a listen. God Bless P.S. If you want to appreciate Rindy Ross's Sax playing, do "Find Another Fool" live.
This was a hit when they were known as “Seafood Mama” in Portland, Oregon, a rock group that became a popular nightclub band. Membership included Rindy Ross (lead vocals and saxophone) and her husband Marv Ross (guitars). Circa 1980/'81 they revamped the band -- adding Jack Charles (guitars), Rick DiGiallonardo (keyboards/synthesizers), Rich Gooch (electric bass), and Brian David Willis (drums and percussion), becoming Quarterflash.
I saw Quarterflash in concert in 1983 at Great Adventure in NJ, love love Rindy Ross AND her SAX, they were fantastic live, I stayed for their second show that evening so I could see them all over again, so good.
Also check out Canadian Group (Parachute Club - At the feet of the Moon) Toronto - Your daddy don't know - Start telling the truth Headpins - Don't it make you feel - Just one more time - Turn it Loud
This song is so much better live. You should see her extended sax solo! Oh my goodness! It is more than worth the price of admission. It is worth reacting to again.
Yay!!!! I’m so happy you liked it 👏🏻😁❤️. She’s amazing. There’s a live video you can see where she plays the sax for you. Absolutely LOVE this song. Soooo happy you liked it. ❤️
Amber, I knew you would love that sax in this. Wow this makes me think of the early 80's. I wish you had footage of a performance to see more of the lead singer (Rindy Ross) playing that sax. Her husband Marv, the bass player, wrote the song. I think she is trying to convey being strong when you have to walk away sometimes. Just when I think nothing beats 70's music, well, darn it, I love 80's music too.
This came up on here and I knew it without a doubt. She was super cool. And I was wondering when you would notice she was the saxophonist. I am just singing along over here. We really had some of the all time best music in the 80s.
The Pretenders is a great Female led (Chrissie Hynde) rock band. Brass in Pocket is a good start, for Christmas 2000 miles is a great under played Christmas song!
Another woman that multi tasks is Sheila E. She sings plays drum and dances all at the same time. Chech out "Glamorous Life" I like her live performance at an awards show it has a super COOL surprise. Also, she was engaged to Prince.
The lead singer is Rindy Ross and yes, she does play the sax also. They were amazingly talented, but underappreciated. I would also suggest you check out their songs "Find Another Fool", "Take Me to Heart" & "Right Kind of Love".
Quarterflash has a follow-up song to HARDEN MY HEART. It's called, FIND ANOTHER FOOL and the video of Rindy Ross blaring her saxophone will be an inspiration to Amber. So will HIP TO BE SQUARE by Huey Lewis and the News. The Motels have also been mentioned so I'm going to throw ONLY THE LONELY as well as CHANGE YOUR MIND into the mix. You can't go wrong with any of these great 8o's songs!! Have at it.
1983 ! Rindy Ross & her husband on lead guitar-------I saw them in '84 , with Rick Springfield , & they stole the show . Awesome group. -------------------------MJL< 75 y/o
Fun Fact: the members of Quarterflash were all teachers when they became a band. I wonder if they went back to teaching once their music careers fizzled.
@@johnconners1569 Bend, Oregon again? That place must be the most 80s-90s town possible, a friend still has his card from the last Blockbuster Video. Finding that some of the clerks at the last store might also have had a legendary 80s band as teachers is crazy.
Trust me when I tell you……your next Quarterflash react NEEDS to be “Find Another Fool…BUT…don’t watch the regular video…you MUST react to their live performance of it at the 1983 US Festival…Rindy goes OFF on her sax solo. Trust me!
It was awesome. Almost ALL of the performances from the US Festival were terrific (sole exception was Van Halen). I was there, it was an experience and then some!
Bonnie Raitt "I can't make you love me" Is a song that I played over and over. That whole album was fire. She is known for her guitar playing but love her voice because it's raw. Sheryl Crow " Home" is another fantastic song. Merry Christmas Everyone! 🎅 🤶🧑🎄🧑🎄☃️❄🌲🎼
Quarterflash!!!! Very underrated band from the 80’s. Knew you would love their horns!!! 🎷🎷🎷 Another great song of theirs with great 🎷🎷🎷 is Find Another Fool. After that also check out Take Me To Heart And Night Shift PERFECT FOR FEMALE FRIDAYS!!!!!
Not sure if you've done Berlin yet, with Teri Nunn.. try " No More Words", it's very 80's.. Also Missing Persons , with quirky Dale Bozzio on vocals.. "Windows" or "Destination Unknown" are 80's greatness.. and lastly you must check out "The Warrior " with Patti Smythe and Scandal.. excellent!.
Welcome Aboard! I am so glad that you finally got to this song, by Quartflash. I always wanted to see your reaction to the saxophone playing by the lead singer.
As someone who played sax in school band, when this album come out, it was awesome. Of course, in this song she's singing more so not as much saxophone, but there's lots of sax on the album which I naturally ran out and bought.
🙂☮️❤️ I knew one day ya'll were gonna listen to this .it's a classic, smooth sax ,beautiful voice, emotional content, nice guitar work, nice melody, female empowerment. Yes, I knew when it came out it was destined to be a classic. Good music is good music. 🙂☮️❤️
I was lucky to have seen Quarterflash at my high school where they played a concert on a friday night in 1982. I had a seat in the front row. They played so loud my ears rang for two day after. "Find Another Fool" is a must listen.
Great 80s track! I totally forgot this one. For female singers from the 80s, I recommend Rough Trade's "All Touch" and Martha and The Muffins "Echo Beach"... both are Canadian bands with female vocals.
Another great female-fronted band from the 80's was Missing Persons. Lead singer Dale Bozzio was way ahead of her time. She was the precursor to Lady Gaga. My favorite song of theirs was "Words" (What Are Words For?). Even though it wasn't really my genre at the time, I saw them at the Beacon Theatre (NYC) in 1984.
I still have the VHS recording I made in '82 of the live concert MTV showed. Rob Squad, PLEASE.... Jinjer Vortex official music vid. It's time for another Jinjer song y'all! 😊
You were saying you don't get many bands with female leads... you should try The Pretenders... Chrissie Hynde is the front person of the band and rhythm guitarist. She has a unique voice that you instantly know it is her singing. "My City Was Gone" 'Back on the Chain Gang" "Brass in Pocket" "Middle of the Road" "I'll Stand By You" "Talk of the Town" They have a couple of Christmas songs too... "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and "2000 Miles"

Oh dang! I didn't know they put out a recent album. Thanks! I need to check that out!
YES!! Laura Branigan "Self Control" or "Gloria" is a must for Female Friday!!
Gratuitous sax and violence from Australia
Love find another fool
The lead singer, Rindy Ross, was my sixth grade teacher in 76/77 in Oregon.
Did you know they would become so popular or did you just hear it on the radio one day and your hair stood up on the back of your neck ?
She`s a killer sax player, good to notice that. "Find another Fool", from 1981, check it please, a terrific solo saxo playing!!!.
"Find Another Fool", "Take Me to Heart", "Right Kind of Love", and "Night Shift" are all hits for Quarterflash...really underrated band in my opinion. I'm glad you checked them out, I was pretty sure you would like them. 😁👍
Candy Dulfer is a premier saxophonist. Her song "Lilly Was Here" is beautiful.
I was just coming here to say the same thing but you beat me to it, I love that song!

OMG Thank you so much for that recommendation, I have loved that song for years but never knew who the artists was! I appreciae you so much!
Harden My Heart was all OVER the radio in 1981. It was huge and reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Such a great song with beautiful vocals. 🌞
Yesssssss!!! YOU FINALLY FOUND QUARTERFLASH WOOOOOOO💙💙💙💙💙
Wow......haven't heard this gem in years! Thank you.
Good, good, good choice. Quarterflash doesn't get the recognition they deserve and this was my favorite song by them.
I was 5 when this song came out. I loooooved this song.
"Find Another Fool" is an uptempo banger. Most people think it's Pat Benatar but it's Quarterflash. Not only sax but dueling fiddle too 👍🏼 It must be next!
Next Stops, 80s Female Friday Bands Edition:
Scandal, "Goodbye to You"
'Til Tuesday, "Voices Carry"
The Pretenders, "Don't Get Me Wrong"
All good songs
love it.. Patty Smythe, Aimee Mann and Chrissie Hynde
Also New Shoes and The Motels
@@jaymilu6384 yes, Nu Shooz song "I Can't Wait"
scandal yes!
The wife here...Even as a small child I absolutely loved this song when it come out..As others have mentioned it was quiet a rarity to hear a female rock lead..and an amazing saxophonist..Played this record out!!!
Voices Carry by Til Tuesday is a must for Female Friday
Yes!
Whenever I go on my harden my heart kick I'll then listen to voice carry
“Take Me To Heart” and “Find Another Fool” are their other songs after “Harden My Heart”.
The name came from the phrase “Rock is three quarters foolish and one quarter flash”. They said that in an interview and I thought it was such a clever way to come up with a name.
I thought it was something you would say about a person and not a comment about rock.
@@brandonflorida1092 I think you're right.

This 1981 song was their biggest hit. Take me to Heart and Find Another Fool for more.
They should also check out their song "Valerie" as well
Add "Night Shift" from the Movie of same name with Henry Winkler, Michael Keaton and Shelly Long. Marv Ross wrote the song along with Burt Bacarach and Carole Bayer Sager. Great tune and Great Movie.
Gotta listen to the instrumental duet "Lily Was Here" by Candy Dulfer & Dave Stewart. Candy Dulfer is great female saxophonist. Dave Stewart who plays the guitar is from the Eurythmics. The duet is like a conversation between a saxophone and a guitar.
I'm also partial to everything she did with her dad. Cool Criminal is fun. "When I want sax, I. Call. Candy."
So glad you finally did this song. I had suggested it several times and mentioned the sax. Another I've suggested numerous times and it has saxophone too is ONLY THE LONELY by the MOTELS.
Thank you for doing Quarterflash! Motels next PLEASE!!!!!
YES! This is why I knew you would love her! So happy you finally reached Quarterflash! Rindy Ross is the lead singer and is so incredibly talented. Next hit up their song, "Take Me To Heart."
"Find Another Fool" and "Night Shift" by them are great. Give them a listen. God Bless P.S. If you want to appreciate Rindy Ross's Sax playing, do "Find Another Fool" live.
Another band from the 80s with a female lead singer is Missing Persons. Their song " Words" was played alot on MTV back in the day
👍 Excellent band!!! " Walkin' in LA."

I saw Quarterflash in the 80s and the headliner was Loverboy and it was awesome
"Take me to Heart" is another one by Quarterflash you should give a listen.
I love that song!!!
When I requested a reaction to this, I didn't tell you she played the sax intentionally. I saw them live. And it was awesome-80's phrase for you.
This song is so much better live. You should see her extended sax solo! Oh my goodness! It is more than worth the price of admission. It is worth reacting to again.
I can listen to this song everyday.
Yay!!!! I’m so happy you liked it 👏🏻😁❤️. She’s amazing. There’s a live video you can see where she plays the sax for you. Absolutely LOVE this song. Soooo happy you liked it. ❤️
I've been waiting for you guys to react to this band. Can't get better than this for Female Friday. This group is talented!

I thought that Max was one of the guitarists
@@karlsmith2570 You are right - Not bass, he was a guitarist.
@@janicetrimmell6897 I'd thought so
Candy Dulfer is out there for you guys. She plays sax on Prince's "Party Man" song & video.
And She had an Album called "Sax appeal".
Saw this band on HS Senior Day at what was then known as Marriot's Great America in Santa Clara CA in 1982! Definitely check out The Motels.
This came up on here and I knew it without a doubt. She was super cool. And I was wondering when you would notice she was the saxophonist. I am just singing along over here. We really had some of the all time best music in the 80s.
The Pretenders is a great Female led (Chrissie Hynde) rock band.

Yes!

The Motels were another group from the same era that also had a female lead. Check out their songs “Only the Lonely” and “Suddenly Last Summer.”
Candy Dulfer of the group "Funky Stuff" is another great sax player from the 80's...
The lead singer is Rindy Ross and yes, she does play the sax also. They were amazingly talented, but underappreciated. I would also suggest you check out their songs "Find Another Fool", "Take Me to Heart" & "Right Kind of Love".
Thank you such for selecting this song one of my favorites of all times.
I remember singing this to my mother in 1980 whenever it came on the car radio. She died a three years later, but I'll always have that cool memory.
Yes, the lead singer Rindy Ross, is also the sax player. This came out in 1981 (The year I got my first stereo. I was 11.)
Quarterflash has a follow-up song to HARDEN MY HEART. It's called, FIND ANOTHER FOOL and the video of Rindy Ross blaring her saxophone will be an inspiration to Amber.

Yaaaay I was one of the people who suggested this song!!! I'm glad y'all loved it!
Amber - Rindy really rips it up on the sax in the song "Find Another Fool".
1983 ! Rindy Ross & her husband on lead guitar-------I saw them in '84 , with Rick Springfield , & they stole the show . Awesome group. -------------------------MJL< 75 y/o
Try "Another fool to love you"...awesome sax in the live version.
Forgot how much I love this song!
Thanks for the blast from the past!
Fun Fact: the members of Quarterflash were all teachers when they became a band. I wonder if they went back to teaching once their music careers fizzled.
That is not true..
Only ""Rindy" Ross" the singer was a teacher and even she only worked briefly as a substitute teacher.
Marv Ross was my 7th or 8th grade English teacher in Bend Oregon
@@Barb5001 I don"t know about the rest, but Marv Ross was one also
@@Barb5001 she taught grade school in Redmond Oregon. Some of my friends had her as a teacher.

Yes she plays the sax. I say them in concert in the early 80s. They killed it. Great concert.
Trust me when I tell you……your next Quarterflash react NEEDS to be “Find Another Fool…BUT…don’t watch the regular video…you MUST react to their live performance of it at the 1983 US Festival…Rindy goes OFF on her sax solo.

It was awesome. Almost ALL of the performances from the US Festival were terrific (sole exception was Van Halen). I was there, it was an experience and then some!
and as I told you before...they were both TEACHERS before forming their band. Just like you and Jason....so glad you like this
Bonnie Raitt "I can't make you love me" Is a song that I played over and over. That whole album was fire. She is known for her guitar playing but love her voice because it's raw. Sheryl Crow " Home" is another fantastic song. Merry Christmas Everyone! 🎅 🤶🧑🎄🧑🎄☃️❄🌲🎼
Quarterflash!!!! Very underrated band from the 80’s. Knew you would love their horns!!! 🎷🎷🎷
Another great song of theirs with great 🎷🎷🎷 is
Find Another Fool.
After that also check out
Take Me To Heart
And
Night Shift
PERFECT FOR FEMALE FRIDAYS!!!!!
She kinda has Pat Benatar,,Ann Wilson feel
Now that you've heard Quarterflash YOU MUST LISTEN TO "THE MOTELS"... ONLY THE LONELY"
Loved this song!!!
That sax was everything!!
This is the sound of my teenage years. I think the 80's was the best for teens.
Summers, early 80's, fire light by the lake, Quarterflash was expected, and Royalty!
I love "Find Another Fool" by Quarterflash.
Discovered this band while I was in Germany in 82 and 83, loved them ever since....glad you're checking them out
Annie Lenox of the Eurythmics singing whiter shade of pale is a great one 👌
Not sure if you've done Berlin yet, with Teri Nunn.. try " No More Words", it's very 80's.. Also Missing Persons , with quirky Dale Bozzio on vocals.. "Windows" or "Destination Unknown" are 80's greatness.. and lastly you must check out "The Warrior " with Patti Smythe and Scandal.. excellent!.
Try the motels- only the lonely, scandal- goodbye to you.. great songs

1982 seems like yesterday. I was 11. This song was everywhere on the radio, then MTV. Song for the ages. Saxophoning for the ages.
Natalie Merchant-Carnival. Jennifer Turner does the most amazing guitar you’ll ever hear and Natalie’s singing, songwriting and poetry is legendary.
Toured with Loverboy, Quarterflash was the warm up Band then loverboy the main act., seen them live in Concert in 1981
🙂☮️❤️
I knew one day ya'll were gonna listen to this .it's a classic, smooth sax ,beautiful voice, emotional content, nice guitar work, nice melody, female empowerment. Yes,
I knew when it came out it was destined to be a classic.
Good music is good music.
🙂☮️❤️
Right when I was coming into my teens! This song is associated with a great time in my life. Thanks to the requestor and for the reaction.
"Feliz Navidad" - Jose Feliciano Spanish for Merry Christmas - Sung in both Spanish and English. A very upbeat and happy song.
A yearly must for me.
Holy cow, one of my favorite xmas songs!
This group was my wife’s very first concert in Tulsa Oklahoma in the 80s at Cain’s Ballroom. Awesome tune!
If you want the horns from this fantastic group the name of the song is "Find another Fool" Music Video 1982
I was lucky to have seen Quarterflash at my high school where they played a concert on a friday night in 1982. I had a seat in the front row. They played so loud my ears rang for two day after. "Find Another Fool" is a must listen.
Great 80s track! I totally forgot this one. For female singers from the 80s, I recommend Rough Trade's "All Touch" and Martha and The Muffins "Echo Beach"... both are Canadian bands with female vocals.
Yes! Martha + the Muffins. Echo Beach or Danseparc.
Another great female-fronted band from the 80's was Missing Persons. Lead singer Dale Bozzio was way ahead of her time. She was the precursor to Lady Gaga. My favorite song of theirs was "Words" (What Are Words For?). Even though it wasn't really my genre at the time, I saw them at the Beacon Theatre (NYC) in 1984.
Her grandmother used to describe things as "One quarter flash and three quarters foolish."
Hence the name Quarterflash.
I still have the VHS recording I made in '82 of the live concert MTV showed.
Rob Squad, PLEASE.... Jinjer Vortex official music vid. It's time for another Jinjer song y'all! 😊
Try “Total Control” by The Motels. Great female lead singer with one of my favorite sax solos.
Martha Davis. Agreed, she was fantastic.
if i had a dime for all the times i heard this on the radio in the 80', I could have retired years ago!!!
hEART!!! Dog and butterfly, live in Seattle!! Suggestion for female Friday soon .... Shows Anne and Nancy's voices perfectly!! MUST LISTEN!!!
I normally recommend studio track for first listen, but definitely Dog and Butterfly is even better live.
Yes!!!! This was one of my favorite songs as a teen; it’s still just as good today ❤️❤️❤️
You were saying you don't get many bands with female leads... you should try The Pretenders... Chrissie Hynde is the front person of the band and rhythm guitarist. She has a unique voice that you instantly know it is her singing.
"My City Was Gone" 'Back on the Chain Gang" "Brass in Pocket" "Middle of the Road" "I'll Stand By You" "Talk of the Town"
They have a couple of Christmas songs too... "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and "2000 Miles"
"Valerie" is another great song off of the same album. Way ahead of it's time and lots of fun.
We named our oldest daughter Valerie because of that song!!!
I well remember this song. This is the kind of music in those days that you could hum and sing to yourself all day long.
You need to hear KT Tunstall, Black Horse and the Cherry Tree.
They were the opening act at the first rock concert I ever went to. They opened for Elton John at the 1982 VP Fair in St. Louis.
"Find Another Fool" is another good song by Quarterflash; it rocks a little harder than "Harden My Heart".
Post Modern Jukebox " Dream On "cover featuring Miss Morgan James is a must listen.
Find Another Fool. No really, Probably one of Quarterflashe's best songs.
Talk about Female Friday, I saw Quarterflash open for Heart in 1991.....Salute to Girls who Rock!!
Amber, If you really love female sax players check out the song “Saxuality” by Candy Dulfer! She will blow you away! So good! Glenn
This played in the background of my childhood but didn't pay attention to notice she played the Sax until now.Go girl.
Another great female band hit, The Bangles "HAZY SHADE OF WINTER" ... live version !!!!!
One of my favourite songs from the 80's. Never though I would see someone react to this amazing song.
Let's hear some Go Go's
They have done 'We Got the Beat'
