Ca n you imagine some of these singers from the 1970's going on You-Tube and seeing this dated footage of themselves? The shock of once being so young and in demand as a recording artist. Times have changed for the good and sadly the worst. Stephen Bishop recorded some good music and I hope he comes online to read comments one day? If not the royalty checks will always be a reminder of days gone by..

Listening because American Idol just recently offered Stephen Bishop $500 to use the entire song within the show (Season 23), in ads, among other things.
I listened to this song on the radio driving to the beach with my toddler daughter. Every time I hear it I’m right back there and it tears my heart out. She is now a grown woman with children of her own, but I have my baby girl back whenever this song comes on. Thank you Stephen Bishop for this beautiful song!❤
That's what is so special about good music It can take you right back in time in an instant. When I hear this song I am transported back to the hospital with my new baby girl. In 1977
I am Black in my early 40's and have always enjoyed this song and others from our days in the 70's or 80's regardless of the artist colors. Forget what people think good music is good music.
The Drifters; Nat King Cole; Louis Armstrong; Earth, Wind and Fire; Aretha Franklin, Barry White, and so, so many other great Black artists. Good music is color blind. @@martyperkins1570
I'm 45 now and my young children are exposed to this music all the time. They think its today's music and I just smile. We need more artists like these today!!
@@lisagilpen5501I’m 18 and love this song. 60s & 70s are my favorite decades for music and I love folk rock. The Beatles, James Taylor, Paul Simon, Steely Dan, Allman Brothers Band, and Van Morrison are some of my favorites. I know multiple people my age that also love music from then, but I totally get your point. It does seem like most kids nowadays just listen to rap and hip hop, which I don’t necessarily have anything against, but I do have something against not giving classic rock a try! 😂
@@garymiller95 I listen mostly to music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s mostly classic rock, and I’m going to college for audio technology while making music like this. I will admit not all of what I write is exactly in this style since I grew up listening to video game music which has a lot of jazz and classical elements so those tend to seep into my music as well, but I’m not making anything like today’s pop or hip hop. 😁
I had forgotten all about this song until I ended an email about a bad day I had with "On and on..." Then I thought - Hey, that's a song by Stephen Bishop... Man, I love this song... Poetry...
@Yordanos Tafla And yet you're HERE. Enjoy the vomit. [Sidebar re Tarantula Life Mean Bean reply: Millenials everywhere will be pissed that you have been lumped in with them].
I always think of my sweet mom who loved this song so much, of course I love it too after hearing it all of my life pretty much. My mom sadly passed away 19 years ago, I sure miss her but this song makes my mom feel close to me. She left me her 45” vinyl records, this song is one of them. It is a true treasure to have, worth more to me then silver and gold. I feel my moms heart by me each time it plays.
I love how in the 3rd verse he changes the object of attention to himself (rather than other people) and changes the chorus phrase from "crying" to "dying". This is masterful work. This song is pain and pleasure.
I was just a little boy when the song came out. For some reason, it’s one of the songs that stays with me. I love the music and his vocals have so much emotion. But the lyrics are very poetic. Very underrated.
I am only 15 and i love to listen to music like this. It was a gem that i found this music and its on repeat all day i thank stephen bishop for giving us such a comforting song to listen to❤️
"Got the sun on my shoulders and my toes in the sand, my woman's left me for some other man aw but I don't care I'll just dream and stay tan, toss up my heart to see where it lands on and on..." .... great lyric, thnx Steven B. - chicken soup for the soul a few times through the years.
Stephen Bishop was the folk singer sitting on the stairs at the Delta Fraternity in the 1977 film Animal House. John Belushi grabs his guitar, smashes it to pieces, and apologizes. Absolutely true.

On and on Stephen Bishop Down in Jamaica They go lots of pretty women Steal your money Then they break your heart Lonesome sue, she`s in love with ol`Sam Take him from the fire into the frying pan On and on She just keeps on trying And she smiles when she feels like crying On and on, On and on, On and on Poor ol`Jimmy Sits alone in the moonlight Saw his woman kiss another man So he takes a ladder Steals the stars from the sky Puts on sinatra and starts to cry On and on He just keeps on trying And he smiles when he feels like crying On and on, On and on, On and on when the first time is the last time It can make you feel so bad But if you know it, show it Hold on tight Don`t let her say: Goodnight Got the sun on my shoulders And my toes in the sand My woman`s left me for the some other man Aw, but I don`t care I`ll just dream and stay tan Toos up my heart to see where it lands On and on I just keep on trying And I smile when I feel like dying On and on (9x)
"Down in Jamaica they got lots of pretty women they steal your money and break your heart!" So if that's what Jamaican girls do then I won't be going there lol
what a song! Still cant listen to it without tearing up. Such good memories of fun times with my brother sadly passed away this year. takes me back to better times....
Wow-- these guys are so attractive! And the white suit . . . glad I lived in this era. I am proud of my generation. The men were progressive, sweet, brilliant, creative. Nothing like romantic nostalgia. I am really happy to see this
He actually married a beautiful actress named Karen Allen and was not a sexual predator like Mick Jagger. Sex addiction was common among many rock stars and this is how bad it got:John Phillips of the Mamas & the Papas was incestuous with his own daughter McKenzie. Life is not about sex and being addicted to your own body chemicals: Serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine and oxytocin. It really isn't. Do your self a favor and learn to care about yourself and others, learn to respect women and yourself
Although your point in correct and your heart is true, you cannot win this fight. Objectifying and belittling women is part of what popular media is all about. If women don't feel bad about their appearance, no one buys lipstick, or leg razors, tummy tucks, or 10,000 dollar Armani dresses. The first thing anyone must do to escape the constant nagging indoctrination into the cult of woman hating and female inadequacy is to stop watching television. Since no one will ever do that (for reasons that altogether escape me-TV is still the Great Intellectual Wasteland-it is unlikely that objectification of woman as a whole-and as individuals-will ever cease. Next, a woman must give up Cosmo, and all the Home Beautiful Magazines-who ALSO push that same false image of the "Perfect Housewife", or "The Perfect Lover", which suggests subliminally that you are not. We are fed falsehoods and degrading opinions about ourselves for one reason only: to sell us products we do not need and cannot afford. Give up on that stupidity and, I hope, manufacturers and publishers will start pushing more goods and services that we DO need. The reason they don't already? Simple; profit margins on necessary goods are not as great as the profits made on luxuries misrepresented as necessities. "Designer" Clothes . . . not necessary. Credit Cards? one of the most amazing scams ever run on the helpless and hapless. Buy Now, Pay Later? Ruinously expensive way to do anything. I point fingers here at Ownership in general and owners in specific: no matter how they disguise their culpability in our financial distress, they are the whole cause of it.

So enjoy Stephen Bishop. Just saw him perform in Laguna Beach last Christmas, and the next show in early April, 2019 at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano. Great talent, songwriter, singer, and arranger. And the guy can really sing.
Never thought someone singing the simple words of "on and on" could sound so smooth, clean and crisp. Absolutely amazing. Rock on forever Stephen Bishop.
I am an African American male that loved this song and the band Wham and I used to caught hell for playing them in my car. I am so glad times have changed. This race shit is annoying as fuck!!
Stephen Bishop never got his due for this song. I'm surprised a dude like Jimmy Buffett or Kenny Chesney hasn't covered "On and On" as of yet. It's a classic love-beach genre tune that is right in their musical sweet spot! Awesome song; have always loved it!
@@woofersagainstviolence5349 Stephen will tell you Kenny Rankin's version of ON AND ON was best. If you've not heard it, you're in for a treat. Thanks Potch, and thanks Woofers. Coincidentally, celebrated elsewhere this day elsewhere [search] " Great Melody, Great Lyric, Great Rendition, Songwriting Workshop, Harmony Central " p.39
@@MarkBlackburnWPG Hey Mark, 😊 Old is gold an we 70's Hippies got the best 2 decades on this planet; that will ever be!! It was all Peace, love, nature and sharing between guys an Gals. Actually Kenny Rankins version is what I was privileged to cruise to. It was only later, that I learned that Stephen Bishop was the author. Both are great, but the guy who had it coming out of his creative being; just has to recognised. Peace my friend. 👌👌
Music grabs the soul and the heart and the brain and the gut. If you love it, whatever "it" is, then it's right for you. Glad you can finally share.... and spread the happy :)

I remember being a little girl in 78 or 79, and it was bedtime. My sister and I always listened to the radio to sleep, and this song came on. Music was the only thing that soothed me and this was one of them…Sigh. Stephen sure is handsome here!
This is clearly about getting a COVID-19 nasal swab test. Thumbs up if you agree..? And he smiles when he feels like crying On and on, On and on, On and on when the first time is the last time It can make you feel so bad But if you know it, show it Hold on tight
Scaping from this sad reality and undending sufferings in life is hard as hell but thanks to this musicians and this beautifully written songs, everything seems nice and calm-at least for a moment.
Hey Jay, hang in there bro we all been there. Some of us still are? One foot after the other, day to day.. Just find nice reassuring 60s to 80s easy listening to chill to. Still keeps me going thru the bumps. Peace Buddy. 😃
Hey Jay, if yur still hangin on the thread, here is a truly beautiful song from the great Neil Young for you to chill to. Worlds best lovesong in my mind. It's called Harvest Moon. All the best my friend. 👍 ua-cam.com/video/xMjDc8MJotU/v-deo.html
+John Rotella Bishop didn't write this from personal experience. He stated: "I write from titles usually. I was walking down to the corner grocery store in Silverlake where I was living at the time and I came up with the idea of 'On and On.' My landlady had a lot of exotic flowers all around the house and I wanted to write something from somewhere else like Jamaica."
This takes me back...I remember hearing this a lot as a kid in the late 70's. My parents would always have the easy listening station playing in family car and this was a staple back then.
nossa! há quanto tempo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! adorei ouvir e recordar meus velhos batles e amores. Parabéns pela jóia rara poste mais relíquias tá? abs da Cris
Thing song was released and I remember all those silly but innocent crushes and incidents I pined about but I got over easily. This sad song like others consoled me gently. But I think of others with their silent pain and depression and how many tried and have taken their lives..and the anxiety and depression of my now teenage sons generation and friends..and this song literally made me burst into tears.
Wow! I am 45 and born in 1971! Just heard this song for the first time tonight! How did I miss this one?!! I was 5 I think when this song came out! Please forgive me Stephen Bishop for not ever taken you seriously! Now I'm listening to every single of his! Awesome song!!
Long time ago, more then 30 years back, Stephen Bishop whas here in holland, i whas the driver of him with a limousine. I get a LP from him still i have. Very nice man so friendly and good we have also eat in a restaurant on 1 table with him.
"Takes a ladder, steals the stars from the sky, puts on Sinatra and starts to cry." Love it and he didn`t even know me when I was feeling just like this about a girl in college. Classic !!!
this song is so simple yet so pure and it leaves you wanting more
who's listening in 2024? ❤
such a great song
Me xxxxxx In love.
Yes I listen, remember you are never alone 😎😎
Me.
Love it
This was my mom’s favorite song. Brings back so many memories
2021 still listening! Anyone else?😁 Beautiful memories. Thanks Stephen Bishop!
feels like crying when i miss her
omg how I love this song. makes me remeber Guyana in 1991 where this song was covered in a 'ragamuffin' style. But this one is still the best. I can listen and enjoy this lovely song on and on.
Just makes me think of "Anger Management". Great Song. :')

Hey, it's the charming guy with the guitar from Animal House.
MusicDude86 Then Belushi smashed the shit out of his guitar. 😂
I think Stephen was almost making fun of himself a little bit in that scene by playing a sort of wimpy, milk toast song.
Nice song.
Ca n you imagine some of these singers from the 1970's going on You-Tube and seeing this dated footage of themselves? The shock of once being so young and in demand as a recording artist.

On and on
Stephen Bishop
Down in Jamaica
They go lots of pretty women
Steal your money
Then they break your heart
Lonesome sue, she`s in love with ol`Sam
Take him from the fire into the frying pan
On and on
She just keeps on trying
And she smiles when she feels like crying
On and on, On and on, On and on
Poor ol`Jimmy
Sits alone in the moonlight
Saw his woman kiss another man
So he takes a ladder
Steals the stars from the sky
Puts on sinatra and starts to cry
On and on
He just keeps on trying
And he smiles when he feels like crying
On and on, On and on, On and on
when the first time is the last time
It can make you feel so bad
But if you know it, show it
Hold on tight
Don`t let her say: Goodnight
Got the sun on my shoulders
And my toes in the sand
My woman`s left me for the some other man
Aw, but I don`t care
I`ll just dream and stay tan
Toos up my heart to see where it lands
On and on
I just keep on trying
And I smile when I feel like dying
On and on (9x)

Next, a woman must give up Cosmo, and all the Home Beautiful Magazines-who ALSO push that same false image of the "Perfect Housewife", or "The Perfect Lover", which suggests subliminally that you are not.
We are fed falsehoods and degrading opinions about ourselves for one reason only: to sell us products we do not need and cannot afford. Give up on that stupidity and, I hope, manufacturers and publishers will start pushing more goods and services that we DO need. The reason they don't already? Simple; profit margins on necessary goods are not as great as the profits made on luxuries misrepresented as necessities. "Designer" Clothes . . . not necessary. Credit Cards? one of the most amazing scams ever run on the helpless and hapless. Buy Now, Pay Later? Ruinously expensive way to do anything.
I point fingers here at Ownership in general and owners in specific: no matter how they disguise their culpability in our financial distress, they are the whole cause of it.
I love this song....thanks so much for posting this video!

So enjoy Stephen Bishop. Just saw him perform in Laguna Beach last Christmas, and the next show in early April, 2019 at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano. Great talent, songwriter, singer, and arranger. And the guy can really sing.
Never thought someone singing the simple words of "on and on" could sound so smooth, clean and crisp. Absolutely amazing. Rock on forever Stephen Bishop.
I am an African American male that loved this song and the band Wham and I used to caught hell for playing them in my car. I am so glad times have changed. This race shit is annoying as fuck!!
Classic, timeless song that just takes you back. The kind of song that touches your heart.
I love the song and the voice. Thank you Stephen Bishop. Great artist, great song!
Stephen Bishop never got his due for this song. I'm surprised a dude like Jimmy Buffett or Kenny Chesney hasn't covered "On and On" as of yet. It's a classic love-beach genre tune that is right in their musical sweet spot! Awesome song; have always loved it!
Hey Potch, someone did i the late 70s an i am sure it was Kenny Rankin.
@@woofersagainstviolence5349 Stephen will tell you Kenny Rankin's version of ON AND ON was best. If you've not heard it, you're in for a treat. Thanks Potch, and thanks Woofers. Coincidentally, celebrated elsewhere this day elsewhere [search] " Great Melody, Great Lyric, Great Rendition, Songwriting Workshop, Harmony Central " p.39
@@MarkBlackburnWPG Hey Mark, 😊 Old is gold an we 70's Hippies got the best 2 decades on this planet; that will ever be!! It was all Peace, love, nature and sharing between guys an Gals.
Actually Kenny Rankins version is what I was privileged to cruise to. It was only later, that I learned that Stephen Bishop was the author. Both are great, but the guy who had it coming out of his creative being; just has to recognised. Peace my friend. 👌👌
Music grabs the soul and the heart and the brain and the gut. If you love it, whatever "it" is, then it's right for you. Glad you can finally share.... and spread the happy :)
All you young men out there listen carefully to the lyrics, this song is absolutely right!
What a beautiful, beautiful song.
beautiful beautiful decade
I love this song, bring me back to my youth

WOW! Sounds just as good live as opposed to the studio...Great natural smooth voice, wonderful beautiful vocal melody, beautiful background vocal harmonization, excellent acoustically sound mike settings, great appearance...Mr Bishop was surely a woman magnet with that one. Clearly one of the best songs EVER RECORDED. MAN!!! THAT'S GREAT MUSIC. SIMPLY SO WONDERFUL. Great performance and song. Covered all bases.
Who needs a recording studio. Fantastic live! Still got the 45.
love this song ;for many years still so great to hear

Yes it is one of my favorite
I could listen to him sing all day
I remember being a little girl in 78 or 79, and it was bedtime. My sister and I always listened to the radio to sleep, and this song came on. Music was the only thing that soothed me and this was one of them…Sigh.
Stephen sure is handsome here!
This is clearly about getting a COVID-19 nasal swab test. Thumbs up if you agree..?
And he smiles when he feels like crying
On and on, On and on, On and on
when the first time is the last time
It can make you feel so bad
But if you know it, show it
Hold on tight
His songs are timeless treasures.
Scaping from this sad reality and undending sufferings in life is hard as hell but thanks to this musicians and this beautifully written songs, everything seems nice and calm-at least for a moment.
Hey Jay, hang in there bro we all been there. Some of us still are?
One foot after the other, day to day.. Just find nice reassuring 60s to 80s easy listening to chill to. Still keeps me going thru the bumps. Peace Buddy. 😃
Hey Jay, if yur still hangin on the thread, here is a truly beautiful song from the great Neil Young for you to chill to. Worlds best lovesong in my mind. It's called Harvest Moon. All the best my friend. 👍 ua-cam.com/video/xMjDc8MJotU/v-deo.html
Beautiful song. I really miss the the most significant musical era (the 70's)
+Rob Nielsen this is 1980s
+John Rotella Released 1976 - album careless.. just to let you know
+Rob Nielsen Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance
+John Rotella Bishop didn't write this from personal experience. He stated: "I write from titles usually. I was walking down to the corner grocery store in Silverlake where I was living at the time and I came up with the idea of 'On and On.' My landlady had a lot of exotic flowers all around the house and I wanted to write something from somewhere else like Jamaica."
so true - me too!
44 years I've heard this song. I always thought it went "Puts on some Natra..." like Natra was some brand lotion or perfume I didn't know about...
That is pretty funny!
THAT'S hilarious !
Beautiful music 🎶
My friend Dahmer school dance scene :')
In the song he says "puts on Sinatra and starts to cry" without realizing that people put THIS song and start to cry even in 2021. Classic music!
This man...the talent! I still have my 1978-ish album of this song.
What a Great Song by this Singer, Stephen Bishop!☺👍
This takes me back...I remember hearing this a lot as a kid in the late 70's. My parents would always have the easy listening station playing in family car and this was a staple back then.
+GregParkin I also remember this and a lot of awesome music from my childhood, takes me back to a simpler time, to be young again huh?
permanent playlist tune :)
nossa! há quanto tempo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! adorei ouvir e recordar meus velhos batles e amores.
Parabéns pela jóia rara
poste mais relíquias tá?
abs da Cris
On the radio all the time in the late 1970's.
Aw, but I don't care I'll just dream and stay tan = c'est la vie
Very philosophical approach.
CHILDHOOD CRUSHES. This song was the one that tore your heart out.
Thing song was released and I remember all those silly but innocent crushes and incidents I pined about but I got over easily. This sad song like others consoled me gently. But I think of others with their silent pain and depression and how many tried and have taken their lives..and the anxiety and depression of my now teenage sons generation and friends..and this song literally made me burst into tears.
Wow! I am 45 and born in 1971! Just heard this song for the first time tonight! How did I miss this one?!! I was 5 I think when this song came out! Please forgive me Stephen Bishop for not ever taken you seriously! Now I'm listening to every single of his! Awesome song!!
Did you grow up in America? This song was mega-big when it was new. I'm around your age, but remember it was on the radio daily for much of the year
Long time ago, more then 30 years back, Stephen Bishop whas here in holland, i whas the driver of him with a limousine.
I get a LP from him still i have.
Very nice man so friendly and good we have also eat in a restaurant on 1 table with him.
"On and On", "Baker Street" and "Biggest Part of Me' are my absolute FAVs of all time.
Awesome choices
"Takes a ladder, steals the stars from the sky, puts on Sinatra and starts to cry." Love it and he didn`t even know me when I was feeling just like this about a girl in college. Classic !!!
They're really brilliant lyrics...great song!...it was a great time to be 17 in '77. !! :)
I never realized how cute he is..
I've liked this song!! Forgot all about it
He sure was.
Hahaha, that's quite possible! :D
***** Move on, friend. You're barking up the wrong tree. That's it. Bye bye. :)
Good old days of beautiful lyrics and melody. Takes me back Thanks
I love his sweet voice. Good... Top.. Special.
Listening to his voice is like honey to my ears.
Love that description!
Can't believe I'm about to say this but the latest episode of Family Guy brought me here 😂
Best drag-racing song ever
Same 😂
What’s the episode about?
Maravilhoso!
Great song. Brings back good memories.
He favors my other love Kenny Loggins.
This guy is awesome- not somewhere in between but right on the dot 🤠
I love his bits of comedy and irony in his songs. Awesome stuff.
Fabulous song
Stephen Bishop never really got his due. Not many could claim to have such pretty songs.
2019 still listening the greatest hit of Stephen bishop i luv all his song.
