When an American exchange student came home from Sweden to Minneapolis and brought this cassette to a local FM station, he changed the course of pop music history for the better.
Good evening. I enjoyed music from the late 80s and grew up in the 90s. Today, just an hour or so ago, watching a reel on FB I just found out about this story. Definitely, incredible! When things have to happen, they happen. It is almost always inevitable. What year exactly did the young deliver the cassette to the Minneapolis radio station? I thank you in advance for his response. Blessings to ALL from South America! Joe.
Yes, The song that made KDWB famous. I was at the only show they did at the Orpheum theatre in Minneapolis. Saw Gordon Lightfoot there as well. Now this song plays on KQQL (Kool 108) in Minneapolis.
What makes the "purity" of 80's music that much greater than, say, the 90's? Truthfully, whatever era you grew up with will be what you find to be most magic and special. You'd have people saying the exact same thing about the 50's, 60's, 70's, 90's, 00's ect.
@@OklahomaBoomer Obviously there are exceptions, but for the most part, whatever era of music you listened to whilst growing up will be the era of music which you perceive to be the most special and magical.
It really is the most unique of modern time the sound of the 80s .. it was different but it was cool with the time I was just a young kid I was born in 82 so I vaguely remember it
Señores este floooor de temazo the look de roxette es para sacarse el sombrero y si clasicos que no morirán sonarán por muchos años .roxette aaaaltaaa banda
I’m 31, and feel like I got a taste of living in the 80s because of my mom and dad, and my uncle. I’d give anything to have been lucky enough to grow up the way they did. Life truly was different in the 80s and 90s. There was such a magic and hope to everything. It’s like people have just given up caring about anything in today’s world, no matter what area of life. No one’s saying it was perfect, but you can hear in songs like this that little gleam of excitement for life.
You're so so right Andrew. I left school in 87 and those teen years such brilliant 😊music like this. Life was simpler in every way in the 80s .I so so wish I had a time machine to go back there. Now no one cares. Example of this you can't even get a doctor appointment. All the cost of living stress for many need I go on?, Take me back 😢
there is truth to this. there was a split in the worlds/consciousness. i'm not sure which. but after 9/11 the split occurred. we are in the Controlled Earth realm for some reason. the others are in the Free Earth version somehow.
I was born in 1980, so I’m 44. I’m into a whole ocean of music! If I try to list here, I’ll probably type an epilogue! My Quora bio contains music that I add to it now and then when I’m motivated enough, I think I use it a bit much! :•)
I was born in 83, so ~9yrs older than you, and I can say it was pretty amazing. My stepdad was a morning DJ for a pop hits station, and we got all the demo albums, CDs, and cassettes (yes, there were CDs back then). This is the music I'm playing for my kids, 9 and 2, and they love it!
it was 1989 and a band came along that no other band could process emotion into their music. 34 years later this music is still in my blood. R.I.P. lovely Marie
I had the absolute pleasure of seeing Roxette in 92, just a fantastic concert, completely on key. They each brought so much to the group, and Marie was gorgeous.
Thank you Roxette for all the amazing tunes you gave us over the years! RIP Marie. You will forever be missed and will never be replaced. You are a legend.
The sound of the eighties and early nighties right here... So many hits and so much talent. Rest in peace Marie.. Your voice will be heard for decades.
Lily Cavanagh Every song of Roxette is smash Hit!!! Best people are always taken too soon. Rip Marie! We will always remember you and your amazing voice and songs!
This song instantly transports me back to my early teens and all the excitement, that came with it! That first kiss, touch, boyfriend and all the silliness too! It is amazing how you thought every embarrassment, mistake, was world ending. And yet, the excitement of it all was intoxicating! Awe, to be young again! If you're young, enjoy it! Soon you'll be my age and wondering where the time went!
I'm a confirmed heavy metal nut yet I will drop everything and stop to listen to these guys. Just shows what a huge impact and appeal they and their music have always had xx
The guitar work in this song is absolutely impeccable is why. Its just an incredible riff and that tone just cuts through. Im a metal nut as well but love me excellent pop-rock.

I was 10 years old when this song blew up. And boy did it. This song should be the first definition behind 'staying power' because it's immediately catchy and infectious the more times you listen to it. It's one of those songs that when it comes on, you leave your radio on the station until it's over. Absolutely wonderful song!

Lol! I'll be 47 in a month. And this gets cranked in the summer goin down the road. A guy that likes bass. Used to be in SPL competitions...I still remember this in my car. 🤟🤟🤟
Incredible sad, growing up during the 90’s here in UK and it was impossible not knowing who Roxette were. She had a long battle, brave and strong. Vila i frid Marie.
The summer of 1989, it was constantly playing on the radio, they took me to the army, this song was forever burned into my heart, it was a beautiful summer, we were young...🙂
Roxette then, Roxette now, Roxette forever!!! I can still remember the first time I heard this song on the radio, fell in love INSTANTLY with the band. To this day I still keep my entire Roxette album collection on my phone so I can listen to them wherever I go. Per you are a pop music GENIOUS who should get way more recognition and Marie had the voice of an angel. The perfect musical duo. I miss them so much. Rest in Peace Marie 💔
I love this song, but it came out during a bad time in my marriage. So, when I hear this great song, I get a slight ache in my heart. That was such a bad time. Thank you, Marie, for the great songs you created for us.
2019 escuchandolos desde 🇦🇷Argentina🇦🇷 , el mejor duo Sueco que jamás pudo existir. Verdadera música y no la porquería que ponen ahora en las radios, que el éxito les dura... lo que les dura un caramelo a un niño.
La Argentina en los 80s pionero del rock en español, que bandas, creatividad y sobre todo el talento puro , nato que habia en los cantantes , Soda , Virus, Git, Los enanitos verdes, los Fabulosos Cadillac, Los abuelos, los Violadores, etc , donde los 80s en la Argentina de haci obras de arte musical , ahora es deprimente la música y mas en la Argentina que hace el trap y el reggaeton , las generaciones de hoy esos pibes no saben que en los 80'se haci música de verdad calidad en excelencia., El rock es cultura amigo viva el rock.
РОКСЕТ ЭТО ПРОСТО КОСМОС, СЛУШАЮ ОЧЕНЬ ДАВНО. ПОЧТИ КАЖДАЯ ПЕСНЯ ВЫСТРЕЛИВАЛА И ОСТАВАЛАСЬ В СЕРДЦЕ. СЛУШАЮ ДО СИХ ПОР. СВЕТЛАЯ ПАМЯТЬ МЕРИ. С УВАЖЕНИЕМ ИЗ КЫРГЫЗСТАНА🌷
Im a total metalhead most of the time, but this song and "Joyride" are always welcome on any of my music playlists. I was fortunate enough to grow up with jems like this.
I can't believe that such songs used to be on the charts and you could listen to them every day on every radio station. Plus, MTV was your usual go-to TV station if you also liked music videos. Jesus, what happened to music over the last 30+ years? F***, I'm old ;/
In memory of Marie Fredriksson... I remember the first time I saw the look music video in 1990.I couldn't take my eyes off the music video when I saw it at the Seoul Chong-ro bookstore record Corner.She also visited Korea and appeared on a radio music program. She was a beautiful and wonderful singer.
ROXETTE!!!! This Band was, is and will be one of the BEST Bands of the 90`s EVER!!!! Absolutly legendary!!!! And Marie Fredriksson was, is and will be one of the best and coolest female singers in Music history!!!! Marie, you´re gone but you and you´re music will never be forgotten, Rest in Peace Legend!!!! 😉😎🤗🤩😍🎁👑💎🏆🥇🔊🎶🎤🎸🍻🍀🌻🌅🌞🔆💗💖💝💓💕💞🔝✝✝✝❗❕✅☑✔
I am so sorry but first time I heard you was from a copied cassette from Polish market. My sister brought it home and I was .. just astonished. She was 5 yrs older then me and when she went to school, I "borrowed" the cassette and just ... enjoyed it. I was like 9 yrs old. Roxette is the greatest pop-rock band ever.
U know now I remember these guys were THE stars. Roxette, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Cranberries, Guns n'roses, classic Metallica. What u have nowdays are not even close.
+gagnashdiak x IT CAN'T "just be ME"!! WHY on God's green EARTH does music SUCK so BADLY these days?!?! It's like rocking suddenly became uncool. God forbid!! smh...
Clayton Mallinson There ARE good music, but they are far from the fame - even if they are famous at all - like the pre-'90s era. Nowdays pretty much the only big name is Miley Cyrus. But the age of heroes passed. Unless you count onehit wonders like Gangnam Style. PS: some GOOD names of today: - Maximum the Hormone - Die Antwoord - Lindsey Stirling - Babymetal - The Pretty Reckless
***** Guns n Roses, Megadeth, Ozzy, Iron Maiden, etc... That's my AGE OF HEROES. My Dave n David signed Rust In Peace CD jacket is my favorite thing EVER, lol!!! XD Thanks for the heads up on new shit. I hope I can bring my pessimistic ass to check them out...
Estaba yendo a la universidad, andaba estresada y triste , luego en la radio del carro dónde venía sono esta canción , como me levanto los ánimos y desde aquella vez es mi favorita de Roxette. No me cansaré de escucharla con el paso de los años me gusta más ❤️ Roxette ❤️
The 80's were magical! The early years were dominated by Synth Pop and British artists, Disco and punk holdovers, and some Country, mid 80's had American pop, R & B, Funk, and movie soundtracks, and late 80's had New Jack Swing, Rap, Heavy Metal, and when Roxette debuted they had this completely original sound. We listened to and loved everything!
I've lived through the 50's ,60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, '00's, teen's and more. The 80's was the most fun, innovative music. I listen to everything but when I want to feel really good I turn to the 80's...
@@ayadav77 I was an 80s teen and it was fun and so varied. But the 60s were truly innovative. Society and music really started to change. They weren’t following, they were leading. Really broke away from their parents in so many ways. I know there were early innovators before them, but it seems the 60s really pushed ahead.
WOW. You are a lucky girl! I didn't even see her for the first time until a few weeks ago( I was busy with raising kids in the '80's & missed the video for "The Look" and "Listen To Your Heart" until now. ) My heart is broken knowing she left the planet. I guess she'll always be an Angel for me. Now I know when I drag my sorry ass through that lighted doorway, SHE"LL be on the other side. RIP isn't good enough from me. I'm going to pay her a tribute from my heart and what is left of my soul. Look for "Marie Fredrickson Tribute by Nic Bonesteel. Have a tissue box beside you. My 12 year old daughter is gonna help me make it later today.
@@sylvia9519 Thank you for the tip. I will have my 12 year old daughter use her smartphone so I can hear Marie in those two languages.. Her voice is out of this world. I'm really looking forward to seeing her when I finally drag my broken rusted soul through that lighted doorway. My path has not been an easy one. 59, homeless and sleeping in my car. No friends, no family( except my only light in the darkness, my daughter ), no job, court cases with false charges hanging over me prevent employment. No smartphone( do not desire one ), no government assistance and no social media. Faith and music are the only things that allow me to take another step. This is the only forum I trust, because it's music based. I am not your average homeless dude. As far as i know, my credit score is still over 800. I can pretty much go out on a limb and say; I'm the only homeless person on the planet with a Hot Wheels 1995 Treasure Hunt '67 Camaro. it currently sells on eBay for $1000 & up. I'm not going to sell it. It will go on the wall in my house, or to my daughter if I go Home sooner than expected. Even with this much of a load, I am still able to look and appreciate beauty and function. I always try to use Grace to get through this Hell on Earth. I'm really sorry to blah,blah,blah.
Hello everyone from Russia !!)) I've been listening to their songs since the 90s .... and I will listen while I'm alive !!)) It's a pity that Marie died! ((Rest in peace .....Legends never die!!!
All of this thanks to a foreign exchange student from Minnesota who was in Sweden and heard this song, He brought the album back and gave to Minneapolis Top 40 Station KDWB who played the look and was soon getting requests for the single from other stations. They gave it to other stations so without a record contract or official single in the US Roxette was getting significant air play. They were eventually signed to an American Distribution deal and this single was OFFICIALLY released and became a major hit. All thanks to one person and a Minneapolis(which is not where major hits generally break) radio station.
AND KDWB being the the CHR(Top 40) station in Minneapolis. In general Minneapolis does not break many hit songs. That is Usually done in New York and LA along with Chicago on occasion
It is an interesting factoid, considering that the Scandinavian population in Minnesota is huge. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Dean Cushman himself has Swedish ancestry, even though Cushman is not a Scandinavian name.
This classic is like wine. The older she is, the more mature she is. Even if Roxette is no more, their classics, including this one, will still be here.
I love this band she had such great stile her music was so cool . Rest in ,peace now I will always love her songs . What great tunes . Will be a fan forever.
I feel that i'm not the only one who would like to go back to 80s for a while and listening their awesome music with all people from that memorable generation for our ears.

This song was released in Sweden in 1988. It led to their international breakthrough in 1989, where it went to no.1 in the US.
@@Kthomasritchie of course you are right, but in our remembrance it will allways the transition from the depressive 80s to the beuatyfull 90s....
Roxette then, Roxette now, Roxette forever!!! I can still remember the first time I heard this song on the radio, fell in love INSTANTLY with the band. To this day I still keep my entire Roxette album collection on my phone so I can listen to them wherever I go. Per you are a pop music GENIOUS who should get way more recognition and Marie had the voice of an angel. The perfect musical duo. I miss them so much. Rest in Peace Marie 💔
I love this song, but it came out during a bad time in my marriage. So, when I hear this great song, I get a slight ache in my heart. That was such a bad time. Thank you, Marie, for the great songs you created for us.
2019 escuchandolos desde 🇦🇷Argentina🇦🇷 , el mejor duo Sueco que jamás pudo existir. Verdadera música y no la porquería que ponen ahora en las radios, que el éxito les dura... lo que les dura un caramelo a un niño.
La Argentina en los 80s pionero del rock en español, que bandas, creatividad y sobre todo el talento puro , nato que habia en los cantantes , Soda , Virus, Git, Los enanitos verdes, los Fabulosos Cadillac, Los abuelos, los Violadores, etc , donde los 80s en la Argentina de haci obras de arte musical , ahora es deprimente la música y mas en la Argentina que hace el trap y el reggaeton , las generaciones de hoy esos pibes no saben que en los 80'se haci música de verdad calidad en excelencia., El rock es cultura amigo viva el rock.
РОКСЕТ ЭТО ПРОСТО КОСМОС, СЛУШАЮ ОЧЕНЬ ДАВНО.
ПОЧТИ КАЖДАЯ ПЕСНЯ ВЫСТРЕЛИВАЛА И ОСТАВАЛАСЬ В СЕРДЦЕ. СЛУШАЮ ДО СИХ ПОР.
СВЕТЛАЯ ПАМЯТЬ МЕРИ.
С УВАЖЕНИЕМ ИЗ КЫРГЫЗСТАНА🌷
I’ve been playing this song almost every month for the last 30 years or so. Wow! Can’t get tired of it. Such a masterpiece
Shes got the look 😎
Me encanta Rosette, que recuerdos más lindos tengo .....
👍👍👍👍💋
Theres another song that sounds just like this, been in my head for a LONG time now if anyone knows?
@@OutlawEST1987 joyride peut t'être j'adore aussi de roxette
This song reminds me of days with my mom when I was little. It makes me cry because it was simpler times but I’m grateful for those times.
Im a total metalhead most of the time, but this song and "Joyride" are always welcome on any of my music playlists. I was fortunate enough to grow up with jems like this.
I'm the same. From gnr, Metallica, Deff Leppard etc. But Roxette always bring a smile to my face
FKN A!!!! Been saying the same thing since those songs came out!!! lol
RIP Marie! Things will never be the same!!
Светлая память❤

Rest in Peace Marie
☹😭
She died of a brain tumor. She was also diagnosed with a malignant tumor in 2002. May she rest in peace.
She's now singing up there... i am sure she'll continue... her music will never die...ilove her..
I can't believe that such songs used to be on the charts and you could listen to them every day on every radio station. Plus, MTV was your usual go-to TV station if you also liked music videos. Jesus, what happened to music over the last 30+ years? F***, I'm old ;/
As our parents would say "60s were the greatest era" now or 60s was the 90s. The 90s was the greatest era.
yup. it was simpler then. Cell phones changed everything. it was really great
In memory of Marie Fredriksson...
I remember the first time I saw the look music video in 1990.I couldn't take my eyes off the music video when I saw it at the Seoul Chong-ro bookstore record Corner.She also visited Korea and appeared on a radio music program. She was a beautiful and wonderful singer.
ROXETTE!!!! This Band was, is and will be one of the BEST Bands of the 90`s EVER!!!! Absolutly legendary!!!! And Marie Fredriksson was, is and will be one of the best and coolest female singers in Music history!!!! Marie, you´re gone but you and you´re music will never be forgotten, Rest in Peace Legend!!!! 😉😎🤗🤩😍🎁👑💎🏆🥇🔊🎶🎤🎸🍻🍀🌻🌅🌞🔆💗💖💝💓💕💞🔝✝✝✝❗❕✅☑✔
First time hearing Savage Garden’s song “I Want You” in 1997 I thought Roxette had come out with a new single. Love this group!
Came here to say this. I'm glad I wasn't alone.
I wish someone would do a mashup of that...
I am so sorry but first time I heard you was from a copied cassette from Polish market.
My sister brought it home and I was .. just astonished.
She was 5 yrs older then me and when she went to school, I "borrowed" the cassette and just ... enjoyed it. I was like 9 yrs old.
Roxette is the greatest pop-rock band ever.
A lot of memories with their music and their records... RIP Marie💔😥
U know now I remember these guys were THE stars. Roxette, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Cranberries, Guns n'roses, classic Metallica.
What u have nowdays are not even close.
+gagnashdiak x IT CAN'T "just be ME"!! WHY on God's green EARTH does music SUCK so BADLY these days?!?! It's like rocking suddenly became uncool. God forbid!! smh...
Clayton Mallinson
There ARE good music, but they are far from the fame - even if they are famous at all - like the pre-'90s era.
Nowdays pretty much the only big name is Miley Cyrus. But the age of heroes passed.
Unless you count onehit wonders like Gangnam Style.
PS: some GOOD names of today:
- Maximum the Hormone
- Die Antwoord
- Lindsey Stirling
- Babymetal
- The Pretty Reckless
***** Guns n Roses, Megadeth, Ozzy, Iron Maiden, etc... That's my AGE OF HEROES. My Dave n David signed Rust In Peace CD jacket is my favorite thing EVER, lol!!! XD
Thanks for the heads up on new shit. I hope I can bring my pessimistic ass to check them out...
+Clayton Mallinson
Lindsey Stirling is worth it - I don't know about the others.
Jesus Christ people can't watch a music video without complaining about how music will never be as good as it used to.
holy crap flashback...first cd I ever bought on my own, to play on the anti-skip (not so much) portable CD player. Mad respect.
It was April 1989, I was pealing potatoes in the kitchen and heard this hearth warming rhythm on the radio. Never forget!
Estaba yendo a la universidad, andaba estresada y triste , luego en la radio del carro dónde venía sono esta canción , como me levanto los ánimos y desde aquella vez es mi favorita de Roxette. No me cansaré de escucharla con el paso de los años me gusta más ❤️ Roxette ❤️
Esa canción no pasara de moda Ella hace cuanto murio? El guitarrista aún sigue?? Eran hermanos..
@@paulagonzalez2549 Marie Fredriksson murió en Dic 2019
Per la precisione... il 09 Dicembre del 2019.
@@paulagonzalez2549no son hermanos, son amigos
2019 RIP Marie She will be truly be missed
Best world femenine Voice !!!
How did she die?
R. I. P. best of the best. She left behind the greatest treasure a human could. Her music is the symbol of clean heart and lighted soul.
The 80's were magical! The early years were dominated by Synth Pop and British artists, Disco and punk holdovers, and some Country, mid 80's had American pop, R & B, Funk, and movie soundtracks, and late 80's had New Jack Swing, Rap, Heavy Metal, and when Roxette debuted they had this completely original sound. We listened to and loved everything!
Deine Stimme war mein Begleiter in meiner Jugend. Mögest du in Frieden ruhen.
Your voice was my companion in my youth. May you rest in peace.
Sehr gut gesagt, Danke. Ruhe in Frieden.
2021 quien mas escucha este clásico de Roxette. Saludos desde Ecuador...
😃
quite right hail equador xxxxx
Vamos roxette for ever...desde Bs As Argentina
@@fannyvillarpando933 hello Argentina xxxx
Desde chile la mundo........awuante Roxette
I've lived through the 50's ,60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, '00's, teen's and more. The 80's was the most fun, innovative music. I listen to everything but when I want to feel really good I turn to the 80's...
Decade during 1970-2000s times also were gold and pure as 80s
so, since i lived through the 70's onward, does it mean i didn't miss anything relevant? :-)
Fun, OK. Innovative, nothing compares with the 60's. Mathematically proven to have the most depth and novelty.
Same here.
@@ayadav77 I was an 80s teen and it was fun and so varied. But the 60s were truly innovative. Society and music really started to change. They weren’t following, they were leading. Really broke away from their parents in so many ways. I know there were early innovators before them, but it seems the 60s really pushed ahead.
Mi favorita de Roxette, descanse en paz.
La mía también
de todos esa generación que vibró con su música marie y el grupo roxette unos genios desde Perú 😍
A mi hija de 10 años le gusta por qué la escucho en la de las cazafantasmas 😊
Saludos cordiales desde Guatemala amigos.
Essa foi a primeira música deles q eu ouvi aos meus 14 para 15 anos de idade, nunca me esqueço desse flashback.
2019 RIP Marie voice of an angel who is listening now
I'm listening after I just heard the news. Very sad news. Marie will be dearly missed and another angel gained.
Sherry George, well said. She will be truly be missed
♥️
April 🥀Rose 🌹🥀🌹🥀
Будем помнить!!!!Светлая память!!!!!,🙏💓❤️
Marie is still the most beautiful and amazing woman ever. I was lucky to see her performing live with Roxette twice.
WOW. You are a lucky girl! I didn't even see her for the first time until a few weeks ago( I was busy with raising kids in the '80's & missed the video for "The Look" and "Listen To Your Heart" until now. ) My heart is broken knowing she left the planet.
I guess she'll always be an Angel for me.
Now I know when I drag my sorry ass through that lighted doorway, SHE"LL be on the other side.
RIP isn't good enough from me.
I'm going to pay her a tribute from my heart and what is left of my soul. Look for "Marie Fredrickson Tribute by Nic Bonesteel.
Have a tissue box beside you.
My 12 year old daughter is gonna help me make it later today.
@Nic Bonesteel: Try her songs in Spanish or Swedish. Her voice is out of this world.
@@sylvia9519 Thank you for the tip. I will have my 12 year old daughter use her smartphone so I can hear Marie in those two languages.. Her voice is out of this world. I'm really looking forward to seeing her when I finally drag my broken rusted soul through that lighted doorway.
My path has not been an easy one. 59, homeless and sleeping in my car. No friends, no family( except my only light in the darkness, my daughter ), no job, court cases with false charges hanging over me prevent employment. No smartphone( do not desire one ), no government assistance and no social media.
Faith and music are the only things that allow me to take another step.
This is the only forum I trust, because it's music based.
I am not your average homeless dude.
As far as i know, my credit score is still over 800.
I can pretty much go out on a limb and say; I'm the only homeless person on the planet with a Hot Wheels 1995 Treasure Hunt '67 Camaro. it currently sells on eBay for $1000 & up. I'm not going to sell it. It will go on the wall in my house, or to my daughter if I go Home sooner than expected.
Even with this much of a load, I am still able to look and appreciate beauty and function.
I always try to use Grace to get through this Hell on Earth.
I'm really sorry to blah,blah,blah.
Hold your head up high, @Nic Bonesteel. Music helps through all kinds of hardness. You, too, will see better days.
@@sylvia9519 Thank you so much for your kind words. Every day is a better day because I'm one day closer to Paradise.
Marie lives on eternally in her music 🔥🔥🔥 Roxette rocks on forever ♾️
I LOVE THIS SONG WITH MY WHOLE HEART. I GET GOOSEBUMPS EVERYTIME I HEAR IT. wow, 80s.....wish i could've lived trough those years. Beautiful decade
The 80s were awesome! Wish I could go back!
@@nataliesmelser1411 Rt
Best decade ever
I was born in 1980 so saw some of it. Early 90's were awesome too! ❤️
Yes it was
Hello everyone from Russia !!)) I've been listening to their songs since the 90s .... and I will listen while I'm alive !!)) It's a pity that Marie died! ((Rest in peace .....Legends never die!!!
Поддерживаю! Total agree!
All of this thanks to a foreign exchange student from Minnesota who was in Sweden and heard this song, He brought the album back and gave to Minneapolis Top 40 Station KDWB who played the look and was soon getting requests for the single from other stations. They gave it to other stations so without a record contract or official single in the US Roxette was getting significant air play. They were eventually signed to an American Distribution deal and this single was OFFICIALLY released and became a major hit. All thanks to one person and a Minneapolis(which is not where major hits generally break) radio station.
+John Paulson Hey - thanks for sharing! You got the look!
Colspex when you work in music radio you hear about these stories and file them because you never know when you might use then.
Skillet is pretty good
AND KDWB being the the CHR(Top 40) station in Minneapolis. In general Minneapolis does not break many hit songs. That is Usually done in New York and LA along with Chicago on occasion
It is an interesting factoid, considering that the Scandinavian population in Minnesota is huge. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Dean Cushman himself has Swedish ancestry, even though Cushman is not a Scandinavian name.
LA LA LA LA LA!!!
Rockin' song. Loved it then and now. The beat, the 🎸 guitar, synth, and their vocals sizzle.
Как же я их люблю💥❤💥!)) Мэри, хоть и не с нами здесь, её голос в моей душе и в памяти 🤘!!!))
RIP Marie, you certainly had the look. XX
She was Gorgeous💎👗👢
Definetely!
And She'll ALWAYS have that look... Forever...

She had 'the voice' and 'the look' godspeed Marie.
Yes. She is pretty and a great singer. This is the first song I'd heard back in the eighties.
It is sad
Man,this song from 90'(1991,exactly),ok?
@@dilsonalmeida3751 I'd thought"The Look" had came out in 1989,before they did a song for the movie Pretty Woman.
INFINITY%!!!!!!!
2019 and always!! Grew up with real music like this, lucky and blessed.
exactly.. hey joanne
God Maries voice and her hair. Iconic.
Hoje tenho 35 anos, cresci ouvindo Roxette isso era pop, anos 80 foi o auge da música mundial!!
Marie, Argentina will miss you too. We even could hear you all spanish Roxette disk.
Si, con los del fuego :v
¿Qué álbum en español?
I feel that i'm not the only one who would like to go back to 80s for a while and listening their awesome music with all people from that memorable generation for our ears.
When are we leaving?
Oooh I get to go back to my childhood? Yes, please
Roxette was Awesome in the 80's and their music never Fade's... still as Awesome now as it was then...
Rest in peace Marie... My generation grew up with your voice, with Roxette. You were part of our youth, our life...
