@@tkmoore6057 I personally don’t know anyone who doesn’t love the movie, “Pretty Woman”. It’s just a fun movie. I’ve probably seen it start to finish about 30 times. And I have great taste. 😃 Some of my favorite shows are, “Breaking Bad”, “Better Call Saul”, “The Handmaid’s Tale”, “Game of Thrones”, “Sopranos”, “Shameless”, and “Dexter” to name a few. I know they aren’t movies, but I just had to list them.

Glad you got around to Go West. Some other great songs are We Close Our Eyes, Don't Look Down, Call Me, Goodbye Girl. Peter Cox, the lead singer has a fantastic voice!

Their 4 albums are fantastic, especially Indian Summer and Bangs and Crashes. The King Is Dead is an incredible, underrated song - just like Peter Cox

It would be good to hear "We Close Our Eyes"

If y'all haven't watched Pretty woman yet,its a must!!❤❤

In addition to my other comment. Peter Cox also has to be one of the most underrated Blue Eyed Soul singers ever! One of the best voices of that time.

Peter Cox has one of the greatest voices of all time, to this day, live performances are off the charts with talent

Man I miss the 80's so much. Such a great time for those of us lucky enough to grow up during that time. Great music, great movies, great cartoons, just great things all around.

Go West was one of my favorite 80's bands. We Close Our Eyes is classic. Don't Look Down is amazing. Peter Cox has one of the best voices in pop music. Would love to hear more!

Pretty Woman was released in 1990. VERY underrated band. HUEY LEWIS? REALLY? We Close Our Eyes, Call Me, Don't Look Down, Goodbye Girl, Missing Persons, What You Won't Do For Love, Crystal Ball, Glow, a GREAT cover of Tracks Of My Tears

Sooooooo good! This was playing overhead in the store and I'm just singing and dancing to it and around the corner I go to find a lovely lady singing and dancing to it too and, well, we sang and danced to it together! Right there, in the store, with everyone thinking we were crazy! Best time ever!

spot on he actually reminds of Huey Lewis and the news

Yaaaaaay, glad you found Go West. Their first UK hit was We Close Our Eyes...... I think Amber might enjoy the video 😉😁. Peter Cox knows how to rock a white vest and a wrench😁

I love this song and have their album. I first heard it on Pretty Woman soundtrack

This song takes me back to childhood. Pretty Woman was a big hit in 1990, great soundtrack.

I love go west very uplifting song and soooo great voice.

This was their biggest hit, but they had another one called "Faithful" that was awesome. Peter Cox is actually a pretty impressive vocalist, and people sometimes thought he was African American. He absolutely kills it in "Faithful", and also does a great cover of Bobby Caldwell's "What You Won't Do For Love", which was also covered by 2Pac.

Others have said it.... you would love "We Close Our Eyes" from Go West.

Jimmy Fallon and Paul Rudd did a shot-for-shot remake of this video, with Rudd singing. It's fantastic. Definitely worth a watch.

Peter Cox (Lead singer) has one of the most distinctive blue eyed soul voices. Go West were compared to Hall and Oates when they released their first album. Check out their first hit "we close our eyes" or the cover of "what you won't do for love" ... or for a slower pace "The King is dead" which has a great double bass and piano in it.

They had a few big hits. We Close Our Eyes and Don't Look Down were both pretty big hits.

68! and his voice is still awesome! Happy Birthday Mr Cox.

Seen them live in Birmingham, England in 2016…they were JUST AS AMAZING! They sound EXACTLY the same🙏🏻♥️Loved Go West since I was a teen in the 80’s😎♥️

An absolute classic from pretty woman...🌹

Nice reaction. Yup, I can hear some vocal similarity with Huey Lewis. Amber loves 2000s pop? Michelle Branch? Vanessa Carlton? Avril Lavigne? 😉 “We Close Our Eyes” was a great intro to Go West. “Eye To Eye” was my favorite, though. ✌🏽

Go West's biggest U.S. chart hit. "The King Of Wishful Thinking" was their only single to chart in the Billboard Hot 100's Top 10, peaking @ #8 in 1990. My fav was their 1st single to chart in the U.S, a big dance club hit "We Close Our Eyes." "WCOE" peaked @ #5 on the Dance chart in 1985 but only got to #41 on the Hot 100.

I remember having their debut album and playing my cassette on my 8 track player, with my cassette converter. My sister who passed away in 2007 kept asking me to play over the songs, “We close our eyes “ and “Call me “ Her boyfriend who she ended up marrying drove us down to the park and we danced around some benches… great memories of my closest sibling ❤

They had another hit that came before this one. It's called Call Me. It's the song that made me love this group.

This is from the Pretty Woman soundtrack. I hope you guys see it soon

This song is from the Pretty Woman soundtrack! You should check that movie out!

Thanks so much for this review Jay and Amber ☺. Go West are fab. 'The King is Dead', 'Goodbye Girl', 'What You Won't Do for Love', 'Call Me' and Never Let 'em See you Sweat' are amongst my favourites. Their album 'Indian Summer' is sublime ♥.

In the UK, 1990 was all about acid house / rave music, and baggy jangle indie music. It was a strange year. 1991 was better for me, with grunge and rave music improving, and then from 1992 onwards, the emergence of excellent British guitar bands.

Peter Cox is an insanely underrated singer; equal parts gravel and velvet, mixing the two almost effortlessly. He is amazing live, even now.

This was a banging night club tune! Still on my playlist together with We Close Our Eyes.

Great reaction! Since I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, Jimmy Fallon and Paul Rudd did a shot-for-shot remake of this a few years ago. They did their own singing and it was fantastic! I'd like to throw out a suggestion for "Good Thing" by Fiine Young Cannibals for another turn of the decade bop. Keep it up y'all!

Absolutely 100% correct… Go west and Huey Lewis and the News, were practically interchangeable in the music they produced. This is me aged 19 or 20 going through the heartache of several relationships. The best of times.

I love this song by them

If you noticed, just like the lyrics are about "cheating" yourself they continuosly play with "cheating" our perception of close/far, big/small, camera angles, etc. throughout the video. It's actually a pretty ingenious concept in relation to the song.

Went to Their live concert 2 weeks ago, One of the most underated bands of the 80s, Still bangin!

Their track We Close Our Eyes might be my favorite jam of the 80s. There's so much going on on that record.

This song is a constant on my playlists. Such a bop.. Like Amber said just a plain old hit of a Pop song. Classic 80s Pop 😉

YAY!!! YOU FINALLY PLAYED 2 OF MY 3 REQUESTS I'VE BEEN MAKING FOR THE LAST YEAR!! 1ST was Boy Meets Girl, the 2nd was this and the last is Level 42 Something about you. Thanks!!!

Great, very underrated band. Many other great songs like Call Me, We Close Our Eyes and Faithful. Hope to see more Go West reactions.

Love this band. The first album is brilliant. The Bangs and Crashes album is all 12"s. Love it, too. Iwanna hear it from you, the kind is dead, From Baltimore to Paris and Little Ceasar are some of my favs from later albums. They are still going strong and are currently doing festivals and will be in tour with Wet Wet Wet, soon. Peter Cox has a great solo album out atm. Yep Superfan here. 😊 If you can find them on The Tube, Live gig from 1980s, Ball of confusion by the backing singers Carol Kenyon (the lady who sang on Temptation by Heaven 17) and Sylvia Mason Jones, is brilliant.

We Close Our Eyes next, you'll love it!
