Agree, blasting this song cruising down the highway , i find it hard to not put the pedal down to the rug , or on a bike having the throttle wide open lol cheers .
I've played with the guy before. He told me this song came from his mom wanting him to learn all the scales. But he was upstairs playing rock and roll. His dad said Mama let that boy play some rock and roll. That came straight from Jerry to me!
How cool is that! He showed up in Greg Allman's book a bit. Could have been a Brother. Said he didn't like the commitment of a band. Is that true? First heard the song on K-SHE 95 St. Louis in the mid 70s. Bought the album.
So cool.. met him while sitting on a.park bench several yrs ago in whiterock... we talked about kids, life. at the end of our convo he shook my hand and said oh I'm Jerry great to meet you, see ya around.. just like that and just an overall awesome guy
I'm 75 years old and a totally unregenerate rock and roller !! This is in my list of absolute Top 10 R & R tunes of all times. The riffs are fabulous !!! This tune deserves a LOT more respect AND air time from so-called R & R radio. If you're in your vehicle on a road trip, this tune is worth AT LEAST another 10 MPH on the speedo. LOLOL No matter where you are, this tune makes you want to dance NOW !!! Thank you, Jerry.
@@Fretless99 I just found out he's gone. Me & so were in Kelowna for his last concert a few years ago, no tickets, we heard him when we stopped for coffee. We stayed outside the gates, I danced in the street. Wouldn't change a thing.
I understood that Jerry had sort of his big break but the record label went bankrupt. By the time he was able to get back in his groove New Wave music was blowing up and he never went majorly international. I hear you though, Jerry. Keep doing your thing brother.
I was born in 75....lived all my life in Minot North Dakota....and I can't tell you WHY....but I LOVE this song....I know my parents listened to this over and over again....I remember the kid sitting there and the dude with the double guitar....lots of Outlaws, April Wine, REO, Van Halen....I thank my dad all the time for raising me RIGHT!!!
And that, your dad did. Was bringing up his kids listen to music of all different kinds,I'm sure, being that your Dad is about the same age as me. I let our 3 kids listen to what I was listening to,and then they listened to what they liked when they aged a bit (High School). Imay not have liked everything that they listened to, but I gave it a try, and found some of it was not so bad. Thanks to our kids, for keeping us on the younger side ! you too !!
@@susanyeadon6657 oh, your doing a fine job. Justin trudow the son of Castro. Lol. We have a teal President and we ain't going nowhere. Trump2Q2Q. Nobody can stop what is coming. NOBODY. Trump isn't going anywhere so get used to the US winning on every level. Go watch your fake canadian news. Remember this. TRUMP trumps your pedophile queen loser.
42 years after I first heard this song, this tune still rocks! The guitar break is so slick and brilliant. If your toes aren't tapping during this song, you're dead, deaf, or have no rhythm...
When I 1st heard this song on the radio I was blown away. Of course I had no idea of who the artist/ band was. I had to call the station and ask the DJ the artists name ( remember those old days ?) I then went out and bought the album. I still have it & play it. One of my favorite songs & a he'll of a guitar player. RIP Jerry.
Nice to see you’re also enjoying some classic Canadian rock ! 🤟🏽 Keep up the good vids! Always nice watching your journey’s and enjoying RC-ing with your family and friends! 😁
We played this song in our band for 25 years. The crowd always loved it. My brother loved kicking ass on the lead guitar solo. A great song for a three piece band. Great memories!!!
First time I heard this, I was mesmerized and blown away! I'm 65 now and still blown away! Great rock and roll never dies! God bless Jerry for this kick as song!
My dad had this record when I was 7 years old, he's gone now, but when it comes on the radio, or shuffle play I feel he's near. Gotta add one more thing...this song was way before its time! You'd never know it's from 1977!!!
Wow Jerry is gone BUT HIS MUSIC WILL LIVE ON.. crank it up open the windows drive down the street like you just don't care and with a smile I say thank you Jerry I will do as the lyrics ask... At my age lol it's isn't thump thump.. Its ROCK AND ROLL because mama let me play... RIP and rock on Sir. I turn this up in your honor.....
Best song to come out of Vancouver in a long time. No doubt. The heavy guitar guitar works is simply out of this world. If BTO had recorded this song surely No 1 on charts.
@@billadams5778 Jerry was born in Montreal, but Doucette was formed in Vancouver and they were on the Mushroom label from Vancouver, so Vancouver is actually correct. Also Mushroom studios was also the studio and that’s the same studio where the owner proudly showed me the speakers Brian MacLeod blew up. 😂
Jerry was very smart to send the tape to KSHE-95. I grew up 90 minutes to the south of STL, but have been all over the world and KSHE is the ONLY FM radio station I've EVER heard it played on. They did Doucette (and me) a real solid, or we may have never heard this song at all. Thanks you, SweetMeat!
The band we hired for our wedding had to know this song which they did. Years later my brother would come to playing on stage with Jerry at the Arlington in Red Deer. Both now gone, I hope they are both able to play on that stage in the heavenlies! Rest in Peace Jerry your music brings back alot of great memories!
what a trip just rollin down the road with my cousin blasting this tune thinking about high school in chico...... Then look at the comments and Somebody's talking about Chico California to
Rest in Peace Jerry Doucette. I was 12-years old when my brother brought this album home 45-years ago. This is a great loss for all of us who spun vinyl back in the day as kids. You've left an indelible mark in our music heads forever. Now you'll play up in Heaven for eternity with the greats. From all your fans who grew up playing music in the North End of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Great memories from my high school years. This is one of those songs I love to hear on the car radio and roll all the windows down and turn up the VOLUME!! Love this song!
Saw Jerry do this song Live about a year after it came out at the Agrodome and let me tell you that he blew the doors off the place. Absolutely KILLED it. Every ounce as good as it is here. When the lead solo got going?? the PLACE WENT WILD!!!!
chris V You're a no mind with no ability to express yourself beyond one line sentences. If you're going to insult somebody make it WORTH the read. Put some creativity in to it bud. You're not even entertaining accidentally.
I'll never get tired of hearing this song. It's so spot on. I was a viedo of Joe Walsh playing Funk 49 and he said, "If I knew I would have to play this song every time I played I would have written something else." This is that kind of song.
My good friend from high school in the late 70's / early 80's tried desperately to land this song and album, an original album, in the 2010's and beyond. It took him a few years but he found "an original". Because of his determination, I've only come to appreciate Jerry Doucette's talent. I wish I had given him the acknowledgement back in the late 70's/early 80's that he deserved. Great song and BTW, great album
Thats funny 'cause my parents bought me this record from a pawn shop in Thunder Bay and its original from 1977. It was missing a sleave but otherwise in beautiful condition.
Grew up in Detroit just across the river from Windsor and we were lucky to have easier access to kick ass songs like this from Canada. The power pop capital of the world
This song has been in my setlist for over 40 years, just heard that Jerry is singing with the angel’s now. Sad news. RIP Jerry, gone but never to be forgotten! :( (I’m not going to mention just how many hours I had to sit with my little cassette recorder, in my room, trying to figure out that killer guitar riff. I STILL can’t get it quite right, but it’s good enough to get the ppl out on the dance floor!)
Great tune. They don't make music like this anymore. First heard this song on 105.7 WAPL when I lived in Green Bay. Now I still hear it on 92.5 KQRS in Minneapolis.
A GREAT SONG!!! Why it never got the love it deserved is a mystery. But I play it on the local jukebox down here in the states in 2021 and it always pleases the patrons. As a matter of fact that whole LP was pretty damn good.
This was back when rock was king. When they played music for the love it, not for record companies who wanted cash. This is perhaps one of grestest rock songs ever!!
mister man you simply cannot beat the progressive nineteen seventies masters of rock 'n'roll..reckon as jerry Doucette ranks right up there with the best of them!!!
It's st paddy's day 2023 , im 56 and I blast this tune whenever I can, I was raised on rock and roll , and I will Cherish this song till the good lord comes callin, absolutely a gem Thank you Jerry where ever you are
I lived in NW Calgary back in the early eighties. Doucette used to play quite regularly at the nearby Beacon Hotel where my friends frequented. This place was a dive but had lots of fine musicians playing there including Bryan Adams.
Best Canadian rocker song of all time! Whatever happened to great R&R songs like this. Awesome guitar lead too. This always packed the dance floor in high school too! Gawd bless u Eddie Doucette!
OMG, I thought this was David Lee Roth...I hear this often n finally remembered to check who sang it...I was just a single digit child when this came out...Wow. Good song, I like it...
I met Jerry Doucette in a bar late one afternoon called the Copper Club about 30+ years ago in Victoria. There was nobody in the bar and he was just sitting there having a drink so I sat down a couple stools away. We started talking but it wasn't until later that I found out that he was a Canadian icon. It's a nice memory.
this was played on KSHE 95 throughout my teens in the 80's and still makes it in the rotation. KSHE is the rock and roll radio station in st. louis.the artist was always listed as Doucette. I didn't know that was *his* last name.
My buddy put this song on for basketball warmups. It was 1980 and we were playing Lyndon Institute. Halfway into the song I see the cheerleaders from both sides clapping their hands and doing a little dance to this song, soon the gym was rocking! My friend asked what I thought of the song? Told him it kicked ass.
Remember him practicing everyday on the way home from school. He lived on 72nd street in Delta, B.C. I went to Heath Elementary School just up the road.
I have this album, I wore it out...I was sorry to hear of his passing of Cancer. He was incredible talent. Rest in peace sir, your work here is complete. Well done.
I was working at Expo '86 and every night on my way out of the park I would stop to listen to Jerry shred his guitar with this rock classic. I was absolutely blown away by his ability and this song. A great memory.
One of the most underrated songs of the 70's, loved it then, love it now.. crank it up!
Agree, blasting this song cruising down the highway , i find it hard to not put the pedal down to the rug , or on a bike having the throttle wide open lol cheers .
very underated. has a regular rotation on KSHE here in St Louis. For years i thought it was a deep Van Halen cut off of Diver down or something. lol

@@marquesmills7339 nope
When you really listen to music you often think of how what was the person thinking when they sang who wrote this great music and I am 62
Mushroom Records, Little Mountain Sound, Vancouver in the 70s - great times and great music.
It was . Seen Jerry right back to Rohan's Days .
We played this song in our band for 25 years. The crowd always loved it. My brother loved kicking ass on the lead guitar solo. A great song for a three piece band. Great memories!!!

Guitar solo is perfect. I mean, you cannot write a 'more better' series of notes than what is presented here. A classic.
One of my absolute Favorites from my 'days of less clarity.' He will certainly be missed. The man could find and truly ride a groove.
I will probably forever chase his guitar tone from the first couple of bars in this song.
Saw Jerry 20 times on the Hornby Strip. Vancouver
1978-1980. Love these old tunes.RD

My buddy put this song on for basketball warmups. It was 1980 and we were playing Lyndon Institute. Halfway into the song I see the cheerleaders from both sides clapping their hands and doing a little dance to this song, soon the gym was rocking! My friend asked what I thought of the song? Told him it kicked ass.
Extremely UnderRated one.of.my most favs
One of the very best cover tunes I have ever played. Way fun. Watch what happens the audience when you play this.
45 RPM yeah I play drums in a band with my Dad, and he goes all out on this song, it's hard to keep up!
Oh, I could tell you crazy stories.
Such a beautiful and angelic voice it's sad that it will never be acknowledged.
Remember him practicing everyday on the way home from school. He lived on 72nd street in Delta, B.C. I went to Heath Elementary School just up the road.
I have this album, I wore it out...I was sorry to hear of his passing of Cancer. He was incredible talent. Rest in peace sir, your work here is complete. Well done.
I was working at Expo '86 and every night on my way out of the park I would stop to listen to Jerry shred his guitar with this rock classic. I was absolutely blown away by his ability and this song. A great memory.
