Best dance song from the 80's!

A very underrated singer. Tracey's album, You Broke My Heart in 17 Places, is a classic.

Wouldn't trust someone that doesn't like this song.

This song has a very special place in my heart. I randomly heard it once (just once!) in the radio when I was a teenager, and then I spent several years of my life (the better part of decade, actually) searching for it at least once every few months. I didn't remember any of the lyrics except for the word "breakaway/break away" (which is surprisingly commonplace in song lyrics) and was just holding tight to the increasingly tenuous memory of the song to move forward. To me, this song is the living embodiment of my ridiculous levels of stubbornness.

This captured the 1960’s girl group pop vibe perfectly without sounding pastiche. Love it!

Doesn't Tracy know how much we need her now, more than ever before! Where are you Tracy!

Tracey was such a good singer, perfomer, actress and impersonator that it was so easy to overlook how good-looking she is.

OMG ! Tracy was so talented. She was involved in just about every aspect of the entertainment business. Singing, acting, writing, directing - you name it.

I've only heard this song on the radio, but never in my childhood in the 80's. Just incredible to believe this song is from 40 years ago now. It's still cool!

I used to watch Tracey with my dad, we both loved her. he's been gone almost 5 years now, this brings back many happy memories!

I'm 20 years old and I discovered Tracey Ullman in my grandparents car on the way to London, I made them replay her debut album and I am obsessed. she is amazing! why didn't I discover her before?

I am I am!!! I waited on Tracy in NYC IN 1997 when I was in college❤️

I love love love tracey ullman . When i was younger i wanted to be just like her , but was nowhere as talented as her ! 🤩

I remember being very pleasantly shocked by this album. I still have it on CD.

The great Tracey for ever !!!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😃😃

another classic of the 80s doo wop rockabilly revival era

Tracy Ullman was brilliant! Multi-talented, she could do everything and was really fast on her feet witty and sharp! Breakaway recalls the early sixties, go-go dancing girl power, a great pop song in itself, it could have been on the charts in '63!--Pitch perfect, the outfits, the big hair--I was around in those days and this nails it!

Believe it or not I still listen to this all the time...love love love this song❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Love me some Tracey Ullman! I’ve been a fan of hers since the 80s, when she started out with The Tracey Ullman Show. So much fun!

Timeless masterpiece & instant happy energy ❤️ i love it ❤️

It's 2024 and I have picture of her on my living room wall in Grimsby, taken from my Best of Tracey Ullman CD.

Every single tune of her is so sensationally exciting!

I always thought Tracey Ullman is a comedian.I never knew she could sing.

WHO CAN NOT LOVE THIS LADY and Comic Genius! Tracey forever! And they're HOT!

Tracey did a good job making this cover. It's simply fantastic!!!!

❤Love this "vintage" 2021 Tracey Ullman🤗

i remember this when i was younger im nearly 50 now were have the years gone

God, I miss the 80's.

Amazing to think that just 18 months after this she turned her back on her music career for good. She had the world at her feet.

This song lift my mood quickly

God bless you,,😍🤩 Tracy. Ullman

I wish she would do another TV show, she is one of this country's best comedians.

Tracey's videos are just brilliant!!

The old 1960's Dan settee record player, I still have one so good

I love Tracey! She could've been a singer, and we wouldn't have been the wiser.

I was a teenager back then, now I'm 54. I can't break away...

She's so god damn funny..! The girls at her side looks good, but she still outshines them cuss of what she does..!Pure class..!

I love Tracey. She's funny, she's a great singer and she's really cute.

Hands up all those people who used to sing in front of a mirror with a hairbrush as a microphone??? Oh,such happy memories😜

A big favourite of mine this one ... Singing with a hairbrush with my mates.. Where did those years go nearly 50 yrs old ..Now where is the hair brush .😂

Reminds me of high school days. Since then, I keep listening her debut album. Love it !!!

She did some great stuff. Great voice. Always thought she was underrated. Love you xx

Wow I remember getting the album from the library in the 80 s absolutely brilliant

Nearly 2023 and still loving it.

I absolutely love Tracey 🇬🇧

I love this women, she is one of britains icon's Well she's special I wish I had met her.

Mod revival was in full swing in the late 70s early 80s -good times

Tracey Ullman "Breakaway" You Broke My Heart In 17 Places RCA Records, 1984

This Ullman's song that's is a fine sensation is one of Tracey's very coolest - Her great music demestrates how she such an amazing gift creating very great sound.😊❤

Such a cheery song considering it's about a volatile relationship.

Love Tracey Ullman!!!

Very underrated singer never get tired of listening to her and also a great comedian. Oh yes and she is Beautiful 💕💕

I looked like this in first year only with a bigger nose brings back lots of great memories. Tracy Ullman so funny always cheers me up. Thanks for posting.

Tracey has always been a mega talent . One of the funniest sketch artists and impressionist in the business . I think after she did a spot on impersonation of Celine Deon interviewed by Larry King at Katrina that I think Celine saw it and quit quivering her lips when she sang !

Saw this 7” single in a shop today… How had I forgotten it (and Tracey mugging cross-eyed for the cover)….

1983 and my first teenage crush xxx

bloody bollicky brilliant Tracey!

What a talented and beautiful woman!

these videos are old how I love it.

Irma Thomas Jackie DeShannon - what a great song over the years - top 10 UK single, from a really great debut LP - what a great talent back on HBO - thank you for posting - DAVEDJ

Absolutely fabulous 😃

I want back the 80s...love this song, imo one of the best of this decade.

Brilliant Tracy, your're just fantastic. Xx

The craziest song I know. Since it has come out in the 1980s.

this song was written by Jackie de Shannon (aka Sherry Lee Myers) who grew up in Batavia, Illinois (my home town and my parents' home town). my father had a jewelry store downtown and gave music lessons part-time...Jackie/Sherry was one of his students or so he says. as i love Tracy Ullman's many talents and always had a crush on her back up singer on the viewers right, i can think of nobody more worthy of Jackie's/Sherry's song, presumably written around the early sixties...those great days of all-girl groups.

So funny and charming, adorable Tracey! I love him

I was obsessed with this song, when it came out!

I brought the album when it first came out (on cassette) and there isn't a bad tune on it. Sure it's largely 50s covers, but when she can sing and the music is this infectious, who cares.

Stunning.

So great ❤ This song contains everything that was good in my youth

Great song. Great singer!

Brilliant, like everything she does!

I love those mod outfits, especially the pantsuits! Thanks for uploading!

The album with this and "They Don't Know" is great. I only recently learned all the songs are covers.

remember when this came out, had the album, still love it in 2021

大好きな曲！love！！！！

Remember this being a song on some album I had as a kid, never knew it was Tracy Ullman though!

Absolutely love this song, it’s so infectious I can’t stop moving!

This is so well done!!!!

60s meets 80s...great early 60s retro track redone in the early 80s...great job miss Tracey Ullman and girls.

One of best songs and fun video . I have the album and I love it. Filled with beautiful music. Wish Tracey had another record.

Peaked at No. 70 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984. Her U.S. follow up single to, “They Don’t Know”.

Thank you Tracey for your music and for introducing The Simpsons at her show

It's incredible to think that she would have her own show which, incidentally, launched The Simpsons!

I heared this song first time a few days ago in the radio and I love it

Still listening to this song in 2022 and I'll never stop to in the years to come.

Such a great song and she is very very cute in this video. I totally forgot about this song. This one definitely goes on repeat.😊

Who is listening in 2021?🤔

I LOVE HER HUMOR.

Before Baby One More Time, there was Breakaway. Tracey Ullman was so cool, and I used to copy that hairbrush-in-the-mirror routine when I was a kid. I also remember her on Three of a Kind with Lenny Henry, and in some period drama aired during Christmas 1984. Pity she hated The Simpsons...

Just Great ! Ahhww good old times...

bloody great !!!!!!!!

Love love so much this song!!!

I was 18 when Tracey recorded this great hit Glad it was a success for her

Tracey hipped me to the hairbrush mic! 😆 I was in 1st grade when this video came out. My crush was Ronald Chambers. The night I saw this video, I said I was gonna sing this song to him the next day at school. 😂

Pretty and very talented Tracey.

Had a massive crush on Tracy Ullman and loved this Used to watch the series she was in three of a kind with baited breath just to see her

I've seen Tracy on a show last month and she's still beautyfull though......

Crazy but nice. And unforgettable.

my goodness I haven't heard this song in at least fifteen years. thank you, youtube suggestions.
