There are songs that really leave an impression on you because of perhaps personal reasons. This one hit me hard. We all have songs that feel like we’ve been hearing them forever. I grew up on this one as much as those in the late 60’s and 70’s.

    My girlfriend and I were at what was then called "Great America Amusement Park" in Santa Clara, Ca. Quarterflash played a concert there in June '83. We saw them play. Awesome performance! After the concert we went to go on the scarier rides there.We were in front of the line for one called "The Edge". There was a buzz in the crowd waiting to go on the ride. All of a sudden 5 members of Quarterflash appeared coming towards the front with park security helping them. They came and stood right in front of us and waited for a few minutes while the ride dropped 100ft. in a few secs. My GF and I chatted with Rindy and Marv a few minutes about that they were excited but a bit hesitant going on the ride. Very cool moment in my life.

      Jiinx, you have awesome parents! 👍I grew up in the 80's and remember vividly watching Quarter Flash in 1982 on Solid Gold (a music TV program back in the day). The song was a huge success on the radio. If you haven't, then you might like some of Ozzy Osbourne's early 80's albums like, Bark at the Moon from 1984, Speak of the Devil, Blizzard of Oz. Iron Maiden is another awesome band and so is Megadeth. I listened to those mainly on cassette tapes since that's all we had before the internet era. We had CD's too, but not your average kid back then could afford them.
      It's awesome that your loving the music we experienced and loved dearly! I was never much into alternative music in the 1990's since it didn't appeal to me. I was a metal head, and my tastes are geared around the early Goth bands nowadays like Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, Midnight Syndicate, who are from the latter 90's era. 🦇🙂

    The beautiful Rindy Ross on alto saxophone. Formerly known as Seafood Mama, she and husband Marv Ross (guitar) were the nucleus of Quarterflash from Portland. "Take Me To Heart" is another good one.

      They still play out as Seafood Mama from time to time, I saw them in '11 at PPAC and they were awesome. They both signed my copy of Creem magazine with Rindy as the Creem dream centerfold, she was in red high heels holding her sax in front of her in the pic. It made her blush but I have to say she still looked great, she'll be 70 this year!

      Got to see them back in the day, live. My best friend wanted to see Rick Springfield and I wanted to see them, as they were one of the other opening acts. The other opening act, was then known only as John Cougar.

      @@juneelle370 Are you insane or what? Seeing people being in love with a woman cause of her talent and beauty triggers you? Maybe they should send you to the moon and throw away the key. Being a musical performer is also about seduction with the audience and I'm betting she would be flattered to see these comments. Because she is a good person and she is sane.
