Hm. I have a copy of that movie on DVD, sitting on a shelf. I'm waiting for the right mood to play it. But just mentioning it puts me in the right time-frame. We're talking an 80s flick here.
Ok, the song is "Rhythm of the Night." The artist was a De Barge, so I'm going with El De Barge.
(The movie I meant was "the Last Dragon", featuring Taimok as "Bruce Leroy", and Sho Nuff, the self-appointed Shogun of Harlem.)
(I met Taimok once, when a friend was ruining a shoot of one of his movies. I swear it's true. I had 2 young brothers tagging along with me in lower Manhattan, and we were having trouble looking for the uptown entrance for a station. We passed an alley, and saw a guy holding a tied woman, with her looking bruised, and him holding a gun to her head. I began to move us faster at the sight of the gun, and kept us moving when I saw the film camera rolling. I was thinking we might actually make the final cut since we were doing the obvious. One brother decided to stop and stand completely still, and ruined the shot. Darned if I know where the autograph went, but he signed one for each of us since I had paper. Taimok, not the kid.) ( I remember the line the gunman said, but to this day, I don't know if the movie was ever released. )
"You'll come running back (said you would baby) You'll come running back (I said so many times before) You'll come running back to me."
""But just wait and see
You'll come running back (I won't have to worry no more)
You'll come running back (spend the rest of my life with you, baby)
You'll come running back to me
Go ahead, go ahead and light up the town."
I thought it sounded familiar but the lyrics still don't stick. I guess I'm getting them now.
Am I an older poster WW? I'm still in my (*cough*) 50's!
You're older than me and Raf. While some of the newer posters are younger than us, no regulars seem to be younger than us. Of course, I could be wrong, as we're not that young, either.

I guess that makes me the old fogey (63). I can live with that.
I had to escape, the city was sticky and cruel Maybe I should have called you first But I was dying to get to you I was dreaming while I drove The long straight road ahead Uh-huh, Yeah Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide This fever for you was just burning me up inside
...
What in this world keeps us from falling apart?
No matter where I go I hear the beating of our one heart I think about you when the night is cold and dark Uh-huh, yeah No one can move me the way that you do Nothing erases this feeling between me and you...
Three artists: One original, two remakes, all iconic performers. The first remake was released after its performer was dead. You'd be forgiven for thinking his was the original, but it was not.

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Once beneath the stars, the universe was ours. Love was all we knew, and all I knew was you. I wonder where you are, I wonder if you think about me Once upon a time, IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS. It mig

Correct, but I thought you'd pause and let someone else take it. No problem, but it's your turn. :)

It reminds me of Lionel Richey's "All Night Long," but I know that isn't it. I'm sure I've heard it, though.

I can't get the music to play in my head yet, so I'm stuck for now.

Very much like All Night Long, but you are correct: it's just kinda similar. ANL is a little more mellow.

Also reminds me of Kool and the Gang's "Celebration"; but, again, not quite.

It's also not "Good Time", by INXS and Jimmy Barnes (off the "Lost Boys" soundtrack.) It sounds familiar, but I just can't place it yet.

You guys definitely have the right feeling. I could see all these songs on a party mixtape.
Does Leroy know this song? Sho'nuf!
When it feels like the world is on your shoulders
And all of the madness has got you going crazy
It's time to get out, step out into the street
Where all of the action is right there at your feet
I know a place where we can dance the whole night away underneath electric stars
Just come with me and we can chase the blues right away
You'll be doing fine once the music starts....
Oh!

Yes, that was it. I don't know why the older posters missed it.

Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead
Uh-huh, Yeah
Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide
This fever for you was just burning me up inside
I hear the beating of our one heart
I think about you when the night is cold and dark
Uh-huh, yeah
No one can move me the way that you do
Nothing erases this feeling between me and you...

Doesn't seem familiar. Of course, I didn't get "Time Is on My Side" because I couldn't "hear" the music with the lyrics.
Maybe I know this one; maybe I don't.

I'll ask Mrs Wolf tomorrow. She doesn't know a lot of songs by their lyrics, but a lot of those tend to be older songs than I like.
