Into the Night.  Benny Mardones.  The song that never goes away.

The 1980 Original studio recording and video

A late 1980s live performance:

A hokey "trailer" of a feature on Mardones that was probably never produced:

I can remember hearing it in the 1980s and thinking, "That guy sounds like Darrell Hall, but with a deeper voice."  Then I would hear it in the 1990s and think, "That guy sounds like Michael Bolton, but with a smoother voice".  Then, when I heard it around 2005, I thought, "A couple of bars near the end have a Tom Jones-ish flourish", but otherwise, it didn't sound at all like Tom Jones, so I researched it and found out what an unlikely history that song and that artist's career have had.

Ahh, the '80's... that's when MTV played music videos.   ;D

I only recently learned that MTV stopped playing music videos... about twenty years ago.  Back when cable boxes only went up to channel 36, I used to watch VH1, MTV and C-Span.  Once cable upgraded to 54 channel systems, those channels lost out on their "default" viewers, like me.

Leon Russell & Friends - Prince Of Peace - ( 1971 )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcPTGVQBOMQ


Try and judge me only by my time and changes
And not mistaken words, for I say many
Listen only to my song and watch my eyes
There's not much time to spill, there's hardly any

Well, look at all the children living in the streets
And they're looking, not afraid to touch each other
They're not afraid to be themselves or someone else
[Incomprehensible]

Never treat a brother like a passing stranger
Honey, won't you always try to keep the love light burning
Sing a song of love and open up your heart
For you might be the prince of peace returning
Yeah, you might be the prince of peace returning

Oh, the love the blind and wounded as that you would yourself
And the businessmen in cells collecting pennies
Judge their wealth by coins that they give away
And not the ones that they keep for themselves for spending

Oh, never be impatient with the ones who love you
It might be yourself that you're burning
Sing a song of love and open up your heart
For you might be the prince of peace returning

Never treat a brother like a passing stranger
Honey, won't you always try to keep the love light burning
Sing a song of love and open up your heart
For you might be the prince of peace returning
For you might be the prince of peace returning

Oh, if I pay me, if I pay you
If I pray to your Jesus then you gonna tell us what you're about to do?
What if I pay me and I might pay you
Who's got the money? Who's got the money?
Who's got the money for, sing the song
