Terri is a genuine class act

While waiting for a bus I went into a record shop and came across the discounted cassette "Count three and Pray". I end up buying it because of "Take my breathe away". Walking back to the bus stop I put on the tape. After listening to just the first song "Will I ever understand you", I turned around and ran back to buy the other Berlin tape they had. Over 35 yrs later and I still have those tapes.

I'd never imagine (back then) I'd be watching an interview nearly 40 years later with Berlin's lead singer, of her analyzing one of the greatest ballads ever recorded and giving it the praise and recognition that it rightfully deserves. With that being said, this was quite a surreal and exciting moment. Thanks a lot for sharing this wonderful interview!

Such a Berlin fan!! It warmed my heart to see Teri has still got that gorgeous platinum and black hair I have coveted for decades. She is a fantastic singer with a funny & wonderful attitude about life!

Went to a Berlin concert at the local college. While they were playing I was in the second row of seats from the stage. Everyone in the first row was dancing so she came down off the stage stood on the other side of the first row seats right in front of me , looked down at me and was singing her heart out. I just sat there legs spread looking up at her as she was looking at me and enjoyed 'our personal' space that night. I will always remember that.

She has the absolute perfect voice for that song IMO. Clear as a bell even on the high notes. I love that she talks about putting her own feelings of sadness and a certain degree of despair about love into the song, as it goes a long way toward me feeling like Maverick and Charlie's relationship was always kind of doomed to be a short-term fling, even when I watched the movie back in the 80's. (I legit LOL'd at people saying they wish Charlie had gotten at least a mention in the new movie. I doubt Maverick has thought about her much at all over the years. She certainly wasn't the love of his life or anything like that.)

One soundtrack from the 80’s that I love is “Rainman” which was several great artists. Aaron Neville, Etta James, and of course…Hans Zimmer. But my favorite on there was Lou Christie with, Beyond The Blue Horizon. Our daughter was 4 when that came out and we decided between the two us that that would be our song. Then, last September on her Wedding day, it was played at the reception and we danced together to it. Got me crying!

I’ve had a chance lately to catch-up on segments I’ve missed while moving & this show just gets better all of the time. You’re the best in the business, Adam. It’s cool to watch the channel grow & to see people I’ve urged to subscribe enjoying it too.

It's a delicate balance. Dedicated fans -- the ones who listen to albums and not just what radio programmers allow on the air -- want to hear a band experiment and develop, but they want the band to retain the core elements that drew them to the band in the first place. I was drawn to Berlin because their energy (frequently augmented by complex rhythms) was infectious, their use of synthesizer was innovative, and by the time "Take My Breath Away" came out, Terri Nunn had established herself as an unusually versatile singer with a range from breathy sex kitten ("Sex") to Pat Benatar-level hard rocker ("Now It's My Turn"). I can only remember one previous slow song ("Torture" from "Pleasure Victim") by Berlin, and I think it's ponderous and dull. I don't think it attracted much of a following. I thought "Take My Breath Away" was a lot like "Torture" without the provocative title. I was greatly relieved to find that someone else wrote it, so there was hope it was a one-off and not a permanent new direction. It turned out that was the case, as Berlin broke up before recording another album. (Nunn later formed different bands that used the same name.)

I’ve always liked, take my breath away, but it has grown over the years to become one of my favorite songs of all time. I never get tired of hearing it. I like some of Berlin’s other material as well. Great interview.

A great interview. She is well grounded with a great sense of perspective.

What a wonderful talent she is. Trusting her own instincts to create a timeless song. Her original nich audience I am sure got over her success. Keep up the great work. 😎

The stories where a band's hits conflict with the band itself is a really intriguing dynamic. Goes to show that a song's status changes with time. Cheers as always

Her voice, can not tell you how happy I was to hear her sing just a wee bit in this interview. Love her voice so very much. Thanks Professor of Rock for giving us this vid. I truly miss the 80's.

Excellent interview and really cool on how she asked your opinion. Perfect song for the movie.

Terri Nunn…. What more can be said about this 80’s goddess 😍 Berlin was, and are still such an amazing group, with amazing new wave/synth songs.

That song is very personal for me (as I'm sure it was for a lot of people). The day that I proposed to my ex-wife, as I was on my way to see her, that song was playing. Terri Nunn just looks fantastic. She seems like she would be a lot of fun to hang out with. I love that she turned the interview around at one point and asked Adam how the song was for him when it was released.

I just want to say…. You are a much needed, heart of music, man. I don’t really know how to put it into words, music always speaks for me. But I just want to say thank you so much for your time on here. I listen to u all the time even when at my desk working. Much love and respect to you

Professor, I’ve never seen folks who while being interviewed, are so comfortable, and so easily let their hair down as they do with you. It always seems like you’re just reminiscing with friends. Amazing channel.

Good stuff! Thank you for what you do!

I also loved the movie Vision Quest, starring Matthew Modine. And I believe “No More Words” was featured in that movie. It may not be as iconic a movie as top gun, but my cousin, Mark Feuerstein, who was a wrestler at Princeton, who also got the acting bug at Princeton, also loves that movie. And now he’s a very successful actor.

OMG! She is so down to Earth and just plain cool! She's like the cool mom next door you could just hang out on the deck with and have drinks on the weekend.

I don't disagree with any of that really, but .....she seemed kinda drunk to me, lol.

Wow, Terri hasn't aged at all, what a beautiful woman. This was a wonderful interview.

I do believe that song was one of the all time best. I can't even imagine the number of times that I have freaked out over it. It's just so beautiful and her voice. It's still just so amazing.

Anyone who has ever been in Love….(everyone!!!) will feel the visceral depth of Terri’s vocal❤️

It is a popular wedding staple.

This is as great song that said "Here's a different side of us. We're not just a pop rock band". Good that they covered this song and made it their own; it did a lot for them, the 80s and Top Gun.

Did you listen to the interview? Nunn said they performed it for the publicity and the money that might follow, and because she wanted to do more work with a top producer, not because they wanted to make an artistic statement.

@@stargasm1000 Ah, I see what you mean. I agree with your point. I just happen to view it as an unflattering light. If you want to hear Berlin's artistic statement that is even more radically different than their usual pop-rock, check out "Pink and Velvet" on "Count Three & Pray" (the same album as "Breath"). Even slower tempo than "Breath," guitar-heavy (David Gilmour, no less!), more pain, death theme, 6:38 long. Gilmour takes it to the level of "Comfortably Numb," but even without him the raw emotion of Nunn's searing performance would make it a masterpiece.

Adam, what a great interview with her. She is still one of the best female artists out there. She looks great and her voice is amazing. I didn't care who wrote the song, it was and still is a great movie love song that has withstood the test of time and will continue to do so. It should have been in the new soundtrack. This and No More Words are my favorite songs from Berlin. Metro is good but these are my faves. Rad video and the song you mentioned I only heard briefly back in the day. Thanks from a music lover for this far out and rad video.

The soundtrack of the 1st Top Gun was/is 1 of THE most memorable soundtracks of ANY movie ever!

she never ages,

Terri Nunn has a great voice. No More Words has always been my favourite Berlin song over Take My Breath Away. Excellent interview Adam.

The Berlin song I'd let play to the end is Metro. I never heard anything but the top three songs. Wow she aged well.

This song fit so well with their style and vocals. Their music is great, but Terri's voice, Terri's face, and the rest of Terri are the allure of the band. Still beautiful today. In short, Terri's aura is hot and smoldering sexy smart.

Awesome interview! OMFG she is *STILL SOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!* As a HUGe fan of the Bob Haircut, I'm so pleased she's still sporting that amazing two-tone black&white! So lovely. How is it she still looks like she did in the 1980s? Wow! Thanks Adam, thanks Terri! Love and best wishes!

Great story! Terri Nunn is super cool and articulated her experience in such a comprehensive manner. Killer episode.

I still can't believe Giorgio Moroder wrote this. I've always hated this song, but I absolutely LOVE both Giorgio Moroder AND Berlin. (Berlin's debut album, _Pleasure Victim_ , is one of the greatest debut albums of the New Wave/New Romantic era, and is certainly one of the most underrated.)

"Pleasure Victim" was not Berlin's debut album; "Information" was. I love Giorgio Moroder and Berlin,too. I don't hate "Take My Breath Away;" I just got very tired of it, including from having to play it and no other Berlin song many times in commercial radio.

@@xxlilly_playsxxkiz9980 Hi Lilly, Yes, Philip Oakey and Georgio Moroder's "Together In Electric Dreams" is great; I have the 12 inch record of it and the "Electric Dreams" soundtrack on vinyl and CD.

The "Top Gun"soundtrack was the first album I ever bought. I was 12 when the movie came out, and I had been listening to and loving Berlin since hearing the singles from the "Unknown Pleasures" album, both on the radio and on an American Bandstand-like TV show called "MV3", which focused more on new wave music. "Take My Breath Away" was an absolute monster hit in '86. Many artists would score huge movie theme hits later on, but this was Berlin's "My Heart Will Go On" or "I Will Always Love You". I still have yet to catch Berlin live, but they do play shows in my area sometimes. Teri is really a gem, and she still looks and sounds as great as she did when I first saw or heard her in '82.

Berlin had beautiful exotic melodies. “Masquerade” is beautiful

Saw them live at college, front row. She came off the stage, walking across the length of the stage right in front of me. She was giving that mean look as she moved until me and my friend, and then she smiled. Was one of those moments, for me. Was one of the best shows of my life!

I was a huge Berlin fan (still have the albums downloaded from iTunes)... when she asked you if the song sounded like Berlin, everyone I knew was blown away by her version of the song and how she sung it. Sure, Berlin was a punk/New Wave group, but we totally accepted the song because it showed her whole range of talent.

Terri sang on the Sisters Of Mercy song Are You Living For Love. It's not SOM's best song, but it definitely rides high because of Terri's singing.

She is wonderful, and authentic, and lovely. I feel like she would be be a great friend and ally, and fun to hang with.
