115.0. "You take my breath away." by CHEFS::LAWSONM (Finite cann't comprehend Infinite) Fri Jun 17 1988 12:34

    If this question has been addressed else where do please point me
    in that direction.
           
    My wife and I cannot remember who sings the song on the Pug 405
    advert, you know the one, fields on fire etc. and the female vocals
    sing....
    
    
    You take my breath away....
    
    We know we will kick ourselves, when some one tells us, but another
    sleepless night I can do with out.

    In the U.S., that song was on the soundtrack to 'Top Gun'. It
    wasn't on a Berlin album.

115.8Its on "Count three and Pray"JANUS::LIGHTFri Jun 17 1988 19:2711

 >  It wasn't on a Berlin album.
 
     The track appears on the Berlin album "Count three and Pray" 
     (I may have got the title wrong - will check tonight). The album
     features loads of guest musicians including Dave Gilmore who plays
     a blistering guitar solo on the final track "Pink & Violet" (might
     have got this name wrong as well !).

115.9Sounds like one to buy !CHEFS::LAWSONMFinite cann't comprehend InfiniteFri Jun 17 1988 19:313

    Mark,
    	  "Count Three & Pray" *is* available as a CD.  The track
    	  listing is exactly the same as on vinyl and cassette (no
    	  extras, awwwwwww shame....).  "Take My Breath Away" is like
    	  no other song on the album, since it wasn't written by Berlin
    	  at all, but by Giorgio Moroder (rumour has it he wanted Donna
    	  Summer to sing, but the record moguls overruled him), so be
    	  warned, the rest of the album is rather rocky, even rather
    	  *raunchy*, compared to the hit single.  It's a good collection
    	  of music overall though.  The British band T'pau have a very
    	  similar style to Berlin, so that's another album you might
    	  check (if you like "Count Three...."), "Bridge of Spies" is
    	  the title. 
    
    	  The "Pink and Violet" song is, in fact, called "Pink and Velvet",
    	  a fairly anthemic closing number.
                    
    						Ian!
115.11I like T'pau as well !CHEFS::LAWSONMFinite cann't comprehend InfiniteFri Jun 17 1988 20:278
    Great stuff !!
    
    I have the bridge of spies on CD, and enjoy it. so guess who is
    out tomorrow to find the said CD.
    
    Thanks for the info.

    Also on the Top Gun ST is an instrumental by Steve Stevens that
    is pretty good. I think it's called Top Gun Theme, or something
    like that (how original, huh 8^) ).

    No no no, for heaven's sake Tony, you've been watching too much
    Miami Vice m'man [8^)], it's not Steve Stevens and Jan Hammer, 
    it's Steve Stevens and Harold Faltermeyer.
