Artist: John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band
Video: From YouTube.
This band is most famous for performing in the Eddie and the Cruisers movies. They also contributed songs to two Sylvester Stallone movie soundtracks: Rocky IV ("Heart's On Fire") and Cobra ("Voice of America's Sons"). Although they still perform live today, they have not released a studio album since the 80's.
I used to get John Cafferty mixed up with John Fogerty, just because their names sounded so similar. He's actually more like a poor man's Bruce Springsteen.
"Tough All Over" peaked at #22 on the Billboard Hot 100. It’s not a bad song. It's not really that good either. I would rate it decidedly adequate. Does it deserve to be ranked higher than Material Girl and every other video we've talked about so far? Hmmmm.
The video is mostly a live performance, mixed with scenes from the band's hometown of Narragansett, Rhode Island.
Finally, you might have noticed a new poll is up. Since this blog is nearly half finished, we will have to seriously pick up the pace if we're going to crown a best song of 1985 winner.
