I had the pleasure of playing with these guys for a month and a half in 79 and I can tell you besides being incredible musicians they have so much kindness in their hearts.

Such ear candy ! Back when MTV was “ MUSIC “ not the rap garbage and hatred . I miss them days

Can we just take a second to appreciate the blue sweat pants and sleeveless white tee the keyboardist is pulling off!

So underrated ! Great songs and never should have ended! And should be rediscovered!!!!

I LOVED The Producers! They played at my college in the early 80’s...SO fun!

One of the greatest songs... EVER!!! From a time when life was fun!!!

Great harmonizing + guitar + drumming + singing + stage presence + energy. Yes I was a fan of theirs way back then. Watching this now I'd say you'd be hard pressed to find a better power pop band (ever).

Just went to see them in Tallahassee last Oct (2019). They were awesome! Still singing all of their songs in the original key!

I have all four of their CDs. It's a mystery to me that they weren't topping the charts at the time; great songwriting, great singing and musicianship, and a high energy live show.

One of the greatest power pop songs ever. A staple on MTV back in 82 I think but never made it big on the radio as it did not make the top 40. Very similar to the Romantics "What I like about you" at the time as that never made it big either. The difference was the Romantics song became a cult classic thanks to exposure on TV, commercials and movies while this song never got that chance. I bought the album just for this song as I could not find the 45 single at the time. Played it at all our college parties and it was a big hit with everyone.

Loved the producers - Saw them maybe 1985 in NIte Town Destin Florida

I lived in Midtown Atlatna back in the '80s when the Agora Ballroom, Weekends and Club 688 were staples for bands like the Producers, The Basics, The Brains, REM and Athens bands. It was simply one helluva time to be alive for the music. Kyle Henderson was known for his "hat" and often could be found playing in 3-4 different bands. I knew Brian through a friend. Great band that should have been HUGE. Wonderful, kind guys who enjoyed what they did. The club scene ain't the same now.

Saw them at the Fox Theater in Atlanta in 1981. Opening for The Johnny Van zant Band and Pat Travers. They were great musicians and showmen.

Living here in Augusta, Georgia USA, The Producers played the club NEW YORK/NEW YORK about dozen times from 1981 to 1984. Augusta has a lot of love for The Producers.

These Dudes Rock!

I saw the The Producers live keyboardist in person back in 1981 that keyboardist he is was hilarious laying down playing that keyboard I was cracking up LOL

April 29th 1982 they opened for Joan Jett and the Blackhearts at the Old Lady of Brady Tulsa,Ok. ( Balcony Row D Seat 10 ) They did a cover of Hard Days Night that was just FANTASTIC!!!

These guys were tight as shit

Wayne Famous bruh!

saw these guyz at a local club in 82.....they were ENERGY personified!

The Producers..The Smithereens - The Hooters Great over looked bands . You pull this up on the Jukebox and people always say..I forgot about them.. GREAT FUN ROCK from back when there were Still Bands !

Van is such a killer guitarist. His tone is killer and his vibrato is one of the best I have ever heard! What a band back when you had to earn your way! God, they should have been WAY bigger. Record label...ugh!

Ese es un tema Brutalll

Great band! Cool song. Great musicianship and stage presence!

Those songs!!! sheesh. The 1st 2 records are still Desert Island Classics..

The Producers on the President or at Jimmy’s ! Good stuff !

Kyle wrote the coolest bass lines ever and i always loved the keyboard lines so much. This band needs to be the next "Anvil" and someone needs to bring them back because they can all still play like crazy!!!!

High energy rock!!🤘🏼🤘🏼

Hell Yes! Sony needs to re-release all this stuff!! they are so talented great melodies& songs& super players too!

Eran unas Bestias ahi

Saw these guys in Tallahassee in the early 80s, great show

They were ELECTRIC ⚡️ ❤

Love this song when I was a kid

Great band...

I saw them at Six Flags over Georgia at the concerts they used to have on Friday nights under the scream machine

Great tune and performance!

Bittersweet viewing. New Year's Eve 1982 - came home from college and my folks now had MTV!

Man, this is just so freaking good.

AWESOME. Saw them at Queen's College in NC in '85, Clemson...maybe others. So much fun.

tremendous!

awesome band around the time mtv was really kool...great song the producers have!!!

Spectacular!

Love the video but still a little sad for Wayne Famous. His health problems really took it's toll. He had to have one leg amputated. There was a go fund me page for his rehabilitation.

CLASSIC

What makes this video perfect is capturing the 80's unedited and raw. If you're making a film of this time period...snag the dress and hair of the ladies...what was it about UCLA blue that guys liked? John Elephante from Kansas during this time period wore an all blue jump suit, same colors...what a stamp of time!

Greatness!

Saw these guys several times bought 2 of their albums. We thought they were the greatest. Goood times in a college bar atmosphere. Ashame they didn't get their due.

Really wish these guys would go on tour again...smaller clubs around the southeast.

What a great post. Thank you very much.

Takes me back to happy/adventurous memories of my high school senior year. I miss those days. I wish these guys would tour again and make it to Texas. Great musicians, but it seems to me that they were pretty much "chewed up and spit out" by their record label.

Let it snow. Blizzards of powder!

Kyle you were so friggin cute. Omg!!

They had a complete third album that was recorded and ready to go. Their label's (can't remember who) catalog was purchased by another label (again, can't remember who), and they shelved the whole thing and wouldn't release it. The Producers offered to buy it back and were denied. I heard a number of the tunes live when Tim Smith was playing bass. They were good tunes...

fanfreakingtastic.

A great stage ambiance - full of energy & expressiveness. An incredible album that showcased such a variety of different sounds for one band. Each had / has talent vocally & are virtuosos in the four primary instruments of what it takes to ROCK. Nowadays, all you can tell anyone not having lived in the decadent 1980's is "Once upon a time . . . there was music . . . ." versus the clap-trap gagging GaGa crap that suffuses our echo of the Roman Empire for a society. The Producers ~ sigh.

Ty Tabor sent me here

Sinful that they weren't huge. Maybe not too late?!?!?!

Is Kyle Henderson wearing "guyliner"? It makes him look an awful lot like Perry Ferrel from Jane's Addiction!

The 80s, when the keyboardist's hair was perfectly acceptable for a young hip group. .

Can’t download this on apple music, the producers only have two songs on there

@cootersnightmare Thanks for the reply!

Is the guitarist on the right Tim Smith from Sheryl Crow's old band?

The keyboardist is wearing his mom's pajamas.

The keyboardist looks like he's in the wrong band.
