[br]Hot Rod Hearts and Steal Away..
drivin home from class the other night listening to xm and i heard this gem(?), brought me back 25 years in a minute. went to the verge audio institute..and i don't have it.
Went to half.com , no dice, checked robbie dupree website, album never out on cd...Now i have to resort to begging...
Please, Please, Please!! (just don't tell anyone, you'll ruin my rep!)
bv[/quote]Funny, I always thought 'Steal Away' shamelessly 'stole' the keyboard and percussion riffs from the DB's 'What A Fool Believes'
No Surprise there since Micheal McDonald did backup vocals on that track. [|)] (I still like it enough though..)[;)]

<br>Gee you must be the same age I am. Old enough to remember Robbie Dupree, Christopher Cross, Chuck Francour(under the boulevard lights), etc and all assorted "lite rock" songs drilled into our heads from the radio when we were toddlers. And now when we hear them again 25-26 years later, all physical activity stops and locks onto hearing the song. Suddenly we are 2 years old again ridiing in our dad's beat-up '71 Chevy truck, or mom's '79 Honda Accord.
Then 3 minutes pass and we are back to our normal, old adult selves. Then we gloat for the fact some other toddler right now is having Lindsay Lohan's latest single drilled into their heads, for the 25 year cycle will happen to them, only with really sucky music, and not with hairy "lite rock" artists who were killed by new wave artists.
