You're correct, "Solid Gold" 1984, Scandal did the whole uncut version,complete guitar solo here. 1984....My favorite "Solid Gold Dancer" was Pamela Rossi....Pam was the best!.....
One of those wonders that stalled at #41. They had another song do that (Hands Tied). The Cars had 3 songs stall at #41 and they were some of their best. Miss the 80s when there was so much good stuff to choose from!
João Orlando Neto ...or TV shows like this for that matter. Nowaday, it's all America Lacks Talent! And if that's not enough u have to swallow another fifty versions of this right across other countries
And I'll tell you more, as those type of shows spread through other countries, it gets really worse!! Speaking for what I see here in South America. It's a shame!
Edgy 80's magic with that booming Patti Smith voice. The heat of the sun Was a little too much today Love on the wing Flew so high it just melted away So sweet on the run So little time to make you see What can't be undone Was maybe never meant to be But sometimes a fool Gets lucky and wins Sometimes the innocent pay For an old man's sin But when the amber light Of daylight's gone All I wanna feel Is the beat of a heart The street that night Had a little too much to say And the look in your eyes It was a little too far away But sometimes a fool Gets lucky and wins Sometimes the innocent pay For an old man's sin Sometimes a fool Gets lucky and wins Sometimes the innocent pay For an old man's sin But when the amber light Of daylight's gone All I wanna feel Is the beat of a heart Just a little life ticking away The beat of a heart You come take me far away Sometimes a fool Gets lucky and wins Sometimes the innocent pay For an old man's sin But when the tears are dark And we stand as one All I wanna feel And when the amber light Of daylight's gone All I wanna hear Is the beat of a heart The beat of a heart You come and take me far away
Can't believe 20 years have gone past, the first time heard this song. Wow just can't stop hearing this song again and again. Still gives me goosebumps.
she was right up there with Pat Benetar,in my book! Hot! great voice!,,,,and Warrior album, was sooooo underrated! all songs were very very good! I have a 14 yr old daughter,so i know today s music,,,i love taylor,,,ava max,,,and like drivers error,,,,and blah blah blah,,,,,,but me being a kid of the 80 s,,,,,thats always my go to ,when im in a bad mood or had a crappy day,cold beer,80s music,,,,,i feel better! best decade ever for music!
Vocally her talents are exceptional. Her fashion sense on the other hand is horrendous then and now. Of course it was the 80's. Her obsession with shoulder pads and wearing drapes are legendary.
I COULDNT HV SAID THAT BETTER MYSELF ALICE😉👍 I GEEW UP A ROCKER GIRL PATTY SMYTH N SCANDAL WAS THEN IS NOW ALWAYS WILL BE ONE OF MY FAVE ROCK ARTISTS AND THIS SONG "BEAT OF A HEART" IS MY NO#1 FAVE SONG...😎🤙
Only two original members here....Patty Smyth and guitarist Keith Mack (unless Zack Smith seriously grew out his hair). Also, even though "Beat Of A Heart" peaked at #41 on the Billboard Hot 100, the song DID make the Top 40 on the Cash Box Top 100 chart, peaking at #40. So, technically, I can say "Beat Of A Heart" is a Top 40 hit.
Yeah, she's gorgeous... especially back then. I do get why she's wearing the overcoat though. She was probably ahead of her time in that she saw other women getting on stage half naked and exploiting their sexuality to the extreme and didn't want to be one of those women.
@@richardpeetrinpeetrin9817 no, sorry. As a drummer and singer myself, I can tell when musicians are just pretending to a tape. Patty's body movements are too spot on for the physical needs of some of her vocalizing, and that sall the way through the song. Same with the drummer, he's actually playing as well.
@@PitchToTheRhino1You could be right, I hope that you are right. I've played this song in its entirety countless times in my home and in my car to the point where I know the original uncut recording of this great song. What I'm hearing Is the exact same original recording from the album here. I myself am a guitarist and I play by ear. I've also seen a Solid Gold episode being taped in person back in November, '85 at Paramount Studios. It was all lip-synced. Still you may be right. There may have been exceptions to the rule, I'm really not sure.....
What a great video what a great time MTV was king life was great makes me sad to see what they think music is now well I guess I’m just old but that’s okay 😂
centurian, I hate to tell you this, but every performance on Solid Gold was lip-synched to the single. That's why the performers often look so discontented.
well! one thing about rap. it all sounds exacly! some one going up, and down. diferent words tho? but? they all breag about raping women, killing cops,and braking the law! they made it in life b cause some lunatic thout there would b a market! but some folks got killed in the proses!
Patty on Solid Gold! The Good Ole Days!!!
You're correct, "Solid Gold" 1984, Scandal did the whole uncut version,complete guitar solo here. 1984....My favorite "Solid Gold Dancer" was Pamela Rossi....Pam was the best!.....
This song was very underrated back in the day, should have been a bigger hit.
One of those wonders that stalled at #41. They had another song do that (Hands Tied). The Cars had 3 songs stall at #41 and they were some of their best. Miss the 80s when there was so much good stuff to choose from!
💯 I will never understand why this was not a top ten. The band must have been so disappointed.
"A Beat Of A Heart" was Scandal's best song ever If you ask me..... Yeah, better than "The Warrior" or " "Goodbye To You"...
Agree
Sometime the innocent pay for the old mans sin. One of the BEST female Rock voices ever.
+GRETA MALL one of the truest lines
Theologically speaking that's bunk. You pay for your own sins.
The whole song is a classic: timeless lyrics, powerful vocals, and a killer melody!
Why can't we have music and musicians like them nowadays?!
It's hard to make a hit song. Every song is a new invention. Not a good career to pursue.
João Orlando Neto ...or TV shows like this for that matter. Nowaday, it's all America Lacks Talent! And if that's not enough u have to swallow another fifty versions of this right across other countries

No hard work and effort like fast food......No 80s standard musicians
We do! Patty has a new album out now and she can still sing her butt off!!
This has always been my favorite Scandal song (although not my overall favorite Patty song). This whole album was very well-crafted.
I love the beat of this song and the "strat" sound!and of course patty's voice!
One of the best female vocalists ever. Her voice is instantly recognizable. She sounds like noone else, and that is the best part.
this song shows the power of talented musicians. all in great taste. I love it. nice work.
The studio version is being used.
ahhh, memories of the 80's and this awesome song. Patty, your a class act.
Powerful lyrics
Heard this somewhere in early 80's. Its my all time favorite
Mid-80's... this song was out in 1984....
Great original Bass riff. RIP Ivan
Patty in her 80's diva phase. Always loved her strong gruff singing voice. Like no other in the 80's.
if you take a moment and listen to this song. close your eyes. and just listen. focus on the melody. you will find so much. wow!
This song is a beautiful piece of artwork, I just love her voice♥
Edgy 80's magic with that booming Patti Smith voice.
The heat of the sun
Was a little too much today
Love on the wing
Flew so high it just melted away
So sweet on the run
So little time to make you see
What can't be undone
Was maybe never meant to be
But sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
But when the amber light
Of daylight's gone
All I wanna feel
Is the beat of a heart
The street that night
Had a little too much to say
And the look in your eyes
It was a little too far away
But sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
Sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
But when the amber light
Of daylight's gone
All I wanna feel
Is the beat of a heart
Just a little life ticking away
The beat of a heart
You come take me far away
Sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
But when the tears are dark
And we stand as one
All I wanna feel
And when the amber light
Of daylight's gone
All I wanna hear
Is the beat of a heart
The beat of a heart
You come and take me far away
My favorite from these guys. I love Patty Smyths voice and really miss the music from this period!!!
One of the best female rock voices ever. She was great! Band was really good too!
classic 80's....t-shirt oversize jacket, dimestore fashion....big hai
Scandals' excellent contribution to heavy rock and roll....
Fantastic. My favorite song of hers.

Best 80s music...none better.
One of my favorite female voices, powerful!! Go Patty!! ❤️❤️❤️
Vocally her talents are exceptional. Her fashion sense on the other hand is horrendous then and now. Of course it was the 80's. Her obsession with shoulder pads and wearing drapes are legendary.
She shouldn't have worn that lame ass coat! I'm an 80s chick and I know what rox..
I have a strong feeling. that if this song would air world wide it will become a hit.
No question! Its killa'
classy , classic
Simply amazing luv it
rockin' fine cool song
Awesome 80's song; Damn she was hot too !!
We do have music like this. Christian rock is up and coming!!!!!! And yes Scandal is the most inspiring harmony music.....

Hey My Nautical Brother H.B
ok give me the car keys
(*_~)
ikr
Great song...reminds me of Tom Petty and the heartbreakers.
Here the SONG is front and center...I Like that. I aim for that.
That was on the show "Solid Gold" in 1985
OMG those shoulder pads!
Only two original members here....Patty Smyth and guitarist Keith Mack (unless Zack Smith seriously grew out his hair). Also, even though "Beat Of A Heart" peaked at #41 on the Billboard Hot 100, the song DID make the Top 40 on the Cash Box Top 100 chart, peaking at #40. So, technically, I can say "Beat Of A Heart" is a Top 40 hit.
I remember "A Beat Of A Heart" was played considerably more frequently than being only #40 on the charts.... Something like #20 or so????
The snare tone reminds me of the snare from Heart's self-titled album.
Pre-dated Stevie Nicks "no spoken
word"(1985)
isn't that the truth? dam. after the 90's. music went down the tube
real deal rocker chic right there
Love the hair dos
Patty is next to Pat Benatar with that rocker voice
extremely talented to have the voice and the looks !!! ... take off the overcoat, Patty , and show off that gorgeous little body !!!
Yeah, she's gorgeous... especially back then. I do get why she's wearing the overcoat though. She was probably ahead of her time in that she saw other women getting on stage half naked and exploiting their sexuality to the extreme and didn't want to be one of those women.
@@gordocojones… read that she thought she was too skinny and the overcoat gave her the confidence for performing this particular number !!!
SCANDAL & PATTY SMYTH--"BEAT OF A HEART"
what I meant . is if this song was to b aired today in the year 2010 people will like it
Wow, that's like note perfect and Patty is really singing not lip syncing.
Unfortunately, she Is lip-syncing, They all lip-synced on "Solid Gold" Fact......

👍
Classssssssssssssssics. 80
🔥~~~~~~~~~🐉~~~~~~~~~🔥
so hot here... wow
yep but still rocks my ass off lol
Great tune. You're right, does kinda sound like a Tom Petty song.
Patty Smyth was married to tennis pro John MacEnroe. Not sure if they are still married or not???
Waa this from the show solid gold?
WHO WAS ON DRUMS FOR THIS PERFORMANCE ????
How do they do this when they're clearly playing to their song playing off a CD somewhere? How does the drummer not hit the drums and cymbals?
@JonM11100 might be lip sync like you think or pantomime.i don't give a dime cause it's still reallly fine. very sexy voice too.
Bad news - lip synch from hell. Good news - Patty looks extremely hot and always has, always will.

When women had talent, and wore cloths. Just saying.
this song is about rape, then anti rape towards the end of the song,.......marius(punk rules).
Sometimes the innocent pay for a dead man's coat. Poor Patti. Love her, but her fashion designer must have scoured the funeral homes for that thing😂
centurian, I hate to tell you this, but every performance on Solid Gold was lip-synched to the single. That's why the performers often look so discontented.
At least Stevie Nicks did hers live not lip synch.
What bum did she steal that overcoat from?
lots of big hair
She's so beautiful with such a good body! What's with the ugly big flasher coat??😝
well! one thing about rap. it all sounds exacly! some one going up, and down. diferent words tho? but? they all breag about raping women, killing cops,and braking the law! they made it in life b cause some lunatic thout there would b a market! but some folks got killed in the proses!
Lip sync unfortunately.
if you take a moment and listen to this song. close your eyes. and just listen. focus on the melody. you will find so much. wow!
if you take a moment to listen to this melody. close your eyes and listen. you will find out more then you think.
Journey?
