I'll never get tired of this song. RIP Marie

Kudos to that exchange student who brought Look Sharp back to the U.S. and gave it to that Minneapolis radio station!

[abdiver]

Per is an absolute genius. Incredible how many great songs he wrote and one of the nicest and most gracious people in the business as well.

Marie will never be forgotten - Roxette's music will be around forever and that will ensure it.

RIP Marie, terrific singer and stunning beauty.

I know I am 4 years too late, but as a solid, board certified metal head, I have a particular love of Roxette, as it reminds me of my childhood. They will always be on my playlists until the day I leave this world.

If people only realised just how many of the worlds greatest pop songs originated from Sweden their jokes about Ikea and meatballs would stop overnight. Such talented and passionate writers

[macrovigilance]

Per and Marie.. one of the best duet combos in the history of music. The Look.. what a classic track.

Love Roxette and this song! 32 years later, still sounds good

Are Roxette in the rock hall of fame, if not they should be. R.I.P Marie one of the greatest rock singer’s.

R.I.P. Marie, your great voice will be missed. Thank God we will always have all these great albums.

You can’t get more 80s than Roxette. They ARE the 80s! Great band. Great music. And RIP Marie. We miss you. 💓💓

Always loved Roxette. I've still got Look Sharp! album that I bought in 88 or 89. I'd lay down in front of the record player, half under my bed, with the speakers on either side of my head. I'd then lean the tops together forming a triangle and there I'd lay listening to the album, only getting up to change sides. Even though Look Sharp! has been out for over 30 years, it still sounds fresh. I was so in love with Marie's voice, such a range and power and her vibrato was just wonderful. Thank you Marie, and thank you Per! Even though sadly Marie is resting, her voice will love on forever! 🤘🏻🇦🇺😊

The production of this song is phenomenal. The guitars are so clean yet punchy.

I've met them when they came to my country, Uruguay, and they were very nice, pleasant, lovely people. Marie was an extremely humble and humane person with so much talent. I miss her a lot to this day and forever, really. She was so kind to me whenever we had little conversations throughout the following years. I talked to her when she was at a radio station in Stockholm and she was the nicest person you can find wherever but especially in the music bizz. She was just special, unique. Thank you for posting this video with that beautiful footage of the glorious past or Roxette ♥

I grew up listening to Roxette and absolutely loved Per's vocals. The Look, How Do You Do!, Fingertips, Cinnamon Street, Vulnerable, Silver Blue, and Harleys and Indians (Riders in the Sky) were some of my favourite Roxette songs. So glad I got the chance to see Roxette live. Words can't describe what your music means to me.

[JayAyers]

2:15 I love Per's personality. He's so chipper!

RIP Marie. Lovely voice

[kellycranford]

so sad that we lost one of the most beautiful voices God ever created when the beautiful Marie lost her battle with cancer this past Dec. I loved Roxette!!!
