      Efectivamente, aquí en México, fue tocada por las estaciones de radio de música en inglés, pero realmente no fue lo que se dice un éxito. A mí me encantó desde el primer acordé que escuché, con ese rif de la guitarra de Welch. Faltó más promoción.
      Posteriormente, las estaciones dedicadas a tocar música del recuerdo, como Radio Universal, tampoco la contemplaron en su catálogo,lo cual no permitió que la conocieran nuevas generaciones,y yo siempre recordàndola con cariño.
      Pero bendito Internet que permite revalorar joyas como esta padrísima canción de Bob Welch

    1978 was a great year and I had the album. This was the song that gave Bob Welch the recognition as a Rocker. When he broke away from Fleetwood Mac, that was the turning point in his music career. Bob Welch certainly knocked this one out of the ball park. I've always enjoyed pumping up the volume on this one.

      @@mzp57 Who knew then that it was to be the Golden Era of rock & roll...back then shows most often had two bands. The opening band was an up and coming band that record companies were trying to promote...so we would buy more albums.
      The pre-bands often turned out to be stars themselves, at the beginning of their career. Remember, no band instantly became a headline act before they paid dues as an opening band. My 1st show is a perfect example. Rare Earth were the headliners, and the pre-band was one we’d never heard of. When the lights dimmed in the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, and in the darkness the announcer said, in a deep baritone voice, “...ladies and gentlemen would you welcome from the great state of Texas........
      Z.Z. TOP....” That was number one. Open seating with a floor that had no seats. It was standing room style and you could get right up to the edge of the stage and very often there were things shared between the fans and the band. Someone would pass a doobie to someone in the band and it was passed around on stage. Bottles of JD made the rounds liberally. Weren’t too many jerks but there were a few who coulda ruined the entire vibe.
      When I think back, it was a Golden time for me as well. 1969-1986 Even 30 months overseas didn’t extinguish my efforts.

    Lyrics
    Well, have you seen that girl in the corner?
    I'd like to take her out of her chains
    'Cause if I have my way with you, baby
    I would be changin' your life today
    Your eyes got me dreamin'
    Your eyes got me blind
    Your eyes got me hopin'
    That I'll be holding you close tonight
    Your eyes got me dreamin'
    Your eyes got me blind
    Your eyes got me hopin'
    That I'll be holding you close tonight
    She was the same as a hundred ladies
    But when my eyes looked at her, I learned
    That she was keepin' a secret fire
    And if I got real close, I'd burn
    So, it looked like I had to move slowly
    Like a cat at night in the trees
    'Cause I was waiting for her to show me
    The way that she liked her love to feel
    Your eyes got me dreamin'
    Your eyes got me blind
    Your eyes got me hopin'
    That I'll be holding you close tonight
    Your eyes got me dreamin'
    Your eyes got me blind
    Your eyes got me hopin'
    That I'll be holding you close tonight
    Ebony eyes
    Ebony eyes
    Ebony eyes
    Ebony eyes
    Your eyes got me dreamin'
    Your eyes got me blind
    Your eyes got me hopin'
    That I'll be holding you close tonight
    Your eyes got me dreamin'
    Your eyes got me blind
    Your eyes got me hopin'
    That I'll be holding you close tonight
    Your eyes got me dreamin'
    Your eyes got me blind
    Your eyes got me hopin'
    That I'll be holding you close tonight

      @@cynthiad3023 No she was no actress. I read somewhere and I can't remember exactly where it was that it was by pure chance that she got the gig on this clip. She happened to be dating one of the sound engineers from the record company that Bob was recording for at the time and that's how she got the part.
      She had done a small amount of modelling work to this point. It's a shame her career didn't kick on after her appearance on this clip as I think she was a very pretty woman and could've done well with the right guidance as you say and opportunities.
