I saw an interview with Benny where he said he took care of the 16 yr old and her siblings after the father left the family on their own and that's really what the lyrics are about. The opening line came from a day when Benny and his writing partner were at his house and had been up all night struggling to write a song. The 16 yr old would walk Benny's dog, before school, for money for the family, and when she walked in the writing partner made a comment about her and Benny said she's 16 leave her alone and the rest of the song came after that. 🎶🎵

Perhaps I was wrong but it still has a beautiful sound and makes me emotional every time I hear it. I want to add that Asia's reaction is exactly the same mood I felt hearing it.

This song originally peaked #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1980. Nine years later, a Phoenix radio station featured it on their "Where Are They Now?" feature. It got picked up again by many DJs and added to their playlists. The song went on to peak at #20. It is only one of ten songs to achieve this. On a Showtime special tribute to Roy Orbison, Benny performed "Running Scared" to a tremendous ovation from the packed audience. Somewhere on YT, there is a poor-quality video of this outstanding performance in which you can gauge the power of Benny's voice.

With the opening line, "She's just 16 years old, leave her alone, they said," we understand if you think this song sounds a little statutory. Benny Mardones told Songfacts that the 16-year-old girl he's singing about was named Heidi, and she lived in his apartment in Spanish Harlem. Their relationship was purely platonic, however, as Benny looked after Heidi and her family after her father left. Benny would pay her $50 a week to walk his basset hound, Zanky.

@jdia1943 Ай бұрын

thank you! ... Benny Mardones was first discovered literally coming off a bus from Savage, MD by Joel Diamond. Joel gave Benny his opportunity to write and sing his first recordings. Joel produced Benny's first record called "Please Say You Want Me" followed by Joel producing "Tomorrow Means Another Day We're Apart" having gotten Benny a deal on CBS Records. Benny certainly carved out a major recording career after that having written and produced on of the most iconic rock songs ever and to this day, still in the Top 25 most played songs on the radio, "INTO THE NIGHT". It was Joel who made the Mike Curb connection for Benny to re-record "Into The Night" which landed him his second Top 10 record with the same song. It was only recently that Joel took Benny back in the studio to record "Into The Night" for the third time. Benny Mardones has the distinction and unmatched record of having had the same song "Into The Night", recorded by the same artist Benny Mardones, different labels and decades, FIVE (5) times charted on the Billboard charts. Benny is also being considered for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Benny passed away much too early in June, 2020.

"Into The Night" is the song that's similar to a car wreck, it's disturbing but you can't turn away. His voice was amazing, it's baffling how he was a one hit wonder, with that gravelly, throaty voice and range, I don't think I know anyone that doesn't like the song. It's definitely on a the cringey side lyric wise, but dayum, it's still to this day one of my absolute favorites. It came out in 1980, right after I got married, I had just turned 17 yrs old so it wasn't that cringy to me then, but as the years went by, I started thinking, yeah, a bit creepy, but still badass. Edit: As far as it seeming familiar, chances are it's not familiar to something else because one thing about this song, I don't think there's ever been one like it. The story Benny gave about the lyrics is that he helped a family in the building he lived in by paying the daughter to walk his dog and his friend was over, they were writing music, the friend made a comment about her being attractive or something like that and he said "whoa, she's just 16 yrs old"!

@Neorott 10 ай бұрын

The story is that there was a family in Benny's NY apartment building that needed help and they had a 16 year old daughter. So Benny paid her $50 a week to come in to his place and walk his dog and feed it before she went to school in the morning. One night his partner and him at been up all night writing songs and stuff and they heard a key in the door, it was morning. She came in to take care of the dog and he described her as 16 going on 21, mini skirt and high heels. His partner was really shocked and he was like, wow! Benny said he looked at him and said, "No man she's just 16, leave her alone." The rest is history. :)

Benny Mardones lived in an apartment complex. He had a neighbor who was a struggling set creator on broadway. The family had come upon some tough times and had very little. When the father made it big, rather then help out the family he moved off with a 24 year old girl who was in the shows choir. One day the families 3 little kids came up to his door and began to cry, they told Benny that their Dad had left them. Benny told them that they would get through it. Benny created odd jobs for them throughout his apartment. The young boy would run out and get cigarettes for Benny and keep the change from 20$. The one girl would clean Benny's apartment for 50$ a week. The final daughter, 16 years old, would come over in the morning and let Benny's dog out. The 16 year old girl came in when he was writing the song. She came in after a night of writing and she came in to walk his dog. His partner with whom he was writing the song the song said "Oh wow," regarding how good looking she was for a 16 year old. Benny then said said "She's just 16 years old, just leave her alone." Straight from Benny's mouth. It was a great story.
