Am I really the first person to comment about this guy? I've never been to the RRHOF museum, and I've heard they have a 'One Hit Wonders' section there. If that's the case, this is pretty much where Benny belongs. Great song, by the way. I see where he's still touring, but only in New York and New Joysey at casinos.

Benny Mardones should be inducted into the Hall of Fame, if you listen to this guy sing, there should be no doubt he deserves to be there. His vocal range rivals the greats, especially his live performances, where even the greats fall short, he does not. Put him in the hall of fame please. !!!

Of course any belongs in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame! This song I have listened to all of my life because it's just an excellent piece of music and an untopable piece of music. Very disappointed that he hasn't been put in there before. What are they thinking, are they listening with their ears or something else?

Benny should most definitely be in the Hall of Fame. His song Into the Night was only rock song to chart twice.

No one else has had their song hit the top 20 twice! And inthe same decade.Benny had the incredibly powerful voice.And he could use it with such skill.Tear your guts out,or make you cry for joy.Such strong emotion. No comparison.Put him in!
