Phenomenal artist. I'm happy you're giving him lots of love on your channel! Try "You Can't Get What You Want" and "Cha Cha Loco" from his LP Body And Soul.
I never really got into Joe Jackson but damn I've loved this song ever since it was released. Thanks again JMBOY, what a day!🤘 That low-tone synth "piston" loop running almost throughout the entire song is the workhorse of this No. 6 Billboard Hot 100 hit.
It is way up my list of favorites. I heard the whole album once or twice in the 80s, but mostly just the hits. However, I remembered liking it, so I bought the CD (and LP later) about ten years ago and I was stunned by how good it is!!
I had acquired tickets to his concert mid 1980s at a local outdoor venue called Poplar Creek. I was familiar with some of his music and I liked it okay. That was before I saw him live. I was really impressed with the material, the talent and performance of him and his band at that concert and I walked out a fan. Joe Jackson’s album Live 1980/86 I really like.
Probably his best song, though that's debatable as he had a lot of greats. He was a fan of XTC which started in the same decade he did (the 1970s) and has covered some of their songs ("Statue of Liberty" fits Jackson's style perfectly). Another of Jackson's covers was "Jumpin' Jive" originally by Cab Calloway!
A Slow Song is a masterpiece, and such a powerful musical experience. It's a fantastic ending to this fantastic album. I can't decide if I like A Slow Song or Chinatown the best. All the songs are great.
Boz Scaggs, Robert Palmer, Joe Jackson... Burton Cummings. Mick Hucknall All Top Shelf Quality Class Material.... So add another... Bobby Caldwell - What You Won't Do for Love
"Got a thing for you, and I can't let go." Is that a line from that Caldwell song? I love that song, if it's that one. Is there sax in it? (😜No, I didn't misspell "sax" you bad people...I meant to put an "a" there. Ok, I do usually like songs that are full of sax and violins.🥸)
Going out on a Friday nite just doesn't feel the same as it did, all those decades ago. Staying in was a much more boring option back then. I guess that contrast of a Friday nite in the city can explain the lure, anticipation and excitement of those times. When you consider up until 1982...the things we all experience in our homes now that we use to have to go out to experience, before the explosion of both home video and gaming consoles. Having to go out for just those 2 things alone made the whole experience much more special. I can recall in 1980, standing in front of 20 or so large TVs in a Cinema foyer, previewing movie trailers and more than 30 people just soaking it in, just before the Video rental phase arrived.
This so funny, when this was released in what, 87 or so? I hated it. I thought the intro sounded like the theme song to the Saturday Afternoon Matinee lol. Over tine it grew on me. Especially the verses. Your analysis is GREAT! Its totally given me a new perspective after all these years!!
ZACAR ORCHESTRA - "" Darkness (Remastered) "" JAZZ R&B SOUL w/ Epic Intro a Masterpiece in my opinion 👌also let me mention another Cool artist PUCCIO ROELENS - "" Northern Lights "" 1977 JAZZ R&B SOUL MUST HEAR songs w/ Amazing Intros that draw you in right away. Just like the Awesome song Steppin' Out by Joe Jackson
Saw him in a small venue in 79 , was in awe of Graham Maby , for me personally when this dropped in 82, with new found popularity, it was more commercial mainstream, lost his edge
He is a gifted musician. Love his music
Told Ya.... HUGE Radio Hit. and the clubs too. Thanks again.
This is my wife's favorite song
Smooth choice. Nice one!
one of the best 80s songs! dbl ♥
You can't go wrong with any track on this album!
fav. joe jackson song :)
Phenomenal artist. I'm happy you're giving him lots of love on your channel!
Try "You Can't Get What You Want" and "Cha Cha Loco" from his LP Body And Soul.
This song takes me back to the early 80's. I was just a little kid.
Transport song for me. Brings me right back to the year this came out. Getting dressed up, going out, dancing all night.
Great driving song!
I never really got into Joe Jackson but damn I've loved this song ever since it was released. Thanks again JMBOY, what a day!🤘
That low-tone synth "piston" loop running almost throughout the entire song is the workhorse of this No. 6 Billboard Hot 100 hit.
Night and Day,one of the 80’s great albums that doesn’t get the love it deserves.
It is way up my list of favorites. I heard the whole album once or twice in the 80s, but mostly just the hits. However, I remembered liking it, so I bought the CD (and LP later) about ten years ago and I was stunned by how good it is!!
I danced to this song a lot back in the 80s...Great song!

6:37 what you said is so true!!
J.J. - 'Everything Gives You Cancer"
Thumbs-upping the song, which is great, not cheering that "Everything gives you..." 😕
It's the truth
Gilbert O'Sullivan - "Alone Again" (Naturally)
Check out the track Fools in Love .A combo of reggae and pop, with a jazz piano solo. Brilliant!
Sunday Papers is the bomb.
He always had that bass player with him, he has recorded in many genres as well. Heard he puts on a great show, would love to see him sometime.
His bass player (Graham Maby) is great. I would have loved to hear him play on this track.
Michael Martin Murphey & the Rio Grande Band - "Wildfire"
"Been a hoot owl howling outside my window now 'bout six nights in a row."
The original still the best.
Be my number two…. Is a great song by Joe Jackson. Hope to see you react to it one day.
I would like this comment twice if I could.

Love this song 🎵 This takes me back to the early 80s when I was in my early 20s ! When life was so much easier ! This song always lifts me up !
Next from J.J. my personal fav... Slow Song... you'll love it.
A Slow Song is a masterpiece, and such a powerful musical experience. It's a fantastic ending to this fantastic album.
I can't decide if I like A Slow Song or Chinatown the best. All the songs are great.
Steppin out, a reference to f****** around, cheating...
Everyone fantasizing about a better life and what they don't have
Brilliant writing
Steppin' out is also used to describe going out for a time on the town...not necessarily with the intent to get laid.
@@Coowallsky
obviously...works on both levels
Instead of leave the TV & radio behind... in today's day, it would be leave the phone & computer behind.
Astute observation.
Cool song to meditate to? Smooth and like looking at the sky and the water
Boz Scaggs, Robert Palmer, Joe Jackson... Burton Cummings. Mick Hucknall All Top Shelf Quality Class Material.... So add another... Bobby Caldwell - What You Won't Do for Love
