Super chanson !

Merci :-)

[lianjie1963]

I was a very little girl when this was a hit, and it used to make me cry; I didn't understand the lyrics at all, it was just the music. I can still remember those feelings listening to it after the passage of 40 years. What a great song it is.

[Breatherable]

You can hear the beginnings of Little River band here, the harmonies are tops.

[cglazaro100]

[kevlength]

This picture has a guitarist who featured in later years with Sherbert , Harvey James or something like that.

[malabu2]

@kevlength Yes mate you are right , i think it was a common thing during the 70s in Australia to see a crossover of band members . Well spotted !! ..

[mignonhenne]

[civilwheels]

Man i had this in the 70s on a various hits album and loved it,,i was just a kid and the scratchy vinyl sound just took me back to my ol bedroom and hi fi system many moons ago,,,thanks for posting this,,,Pete

[315elmwood]

Ha! Unbelievable. It's things like this that make You tube so good.

[ronstreet]

first heard this song while working on a dairy farm in Victoria in 1973...takes me back to the time of a great era of talented Australian bands ...real musicians that set a standard which could never be matched by the pretenders we have to listen to these days!

[bondsee]

yeah well said mate !!

[HeathenLoveGod]

[petenjude]

I couldn't believe I was hearing this, totally forgot about it, brings back so many memories. Thanks underbelly

[Gidday63]

Try limewire for this hauntingly brilliant song.

[menagers]

I used to freak out everytime I heard this on GOL D 104. It's one of those great songs you always forget about. I, too, would love to find it someone. Had a thorough look last night, and iTunes was utterly mystified. I guess it's off to the 2nd hand record store. Thank God I didn't chuck out the turntable yet.

[ozehartz]

It's available on I Tunes

[maxbuck5]

Great song, that I loved as a kid.

Shows like Underbelly and Life On Mars are playing old hits from the 70's. FANTASTIC!!!!

[3legs123]

Does anyone know where we can buy this song and others from mississippi. I cant find it on I-Tunes.

[CeeJayAttack1]

Whay atop song forgot about it until i heard it on Underbelly. Con

[sumfn2dootherthanbf2]

I forgot this song even existed until I't turned up on the end of tonights episode of Underbelly.

One of my favourite songs when I was a kid.

I didn't even know they were Australian and now hearing it again, I can hear the pre Little River Band sound in there.

[newcastlerabbit]

Fantastic to hear it again.Thanks.

[1AussieAvenger1]

"women in the courtyard... children on their knees"..... i've been listen to this for years... its still such a great song.... good one malabu2.... i might get out my old vinyl rofl... i have the single too... yay!.... "we'll come back again to this time... and the kings of the world"

[lilynick1]

" Oi, You lads get yourself lookin respectable do ya hear me? And ya an start by gettin that hair cut!! The youth of today..... I dunno!!" Nice one malabu2!

[tenpem]

Love it. From the crackle at the beginning - now doesn't that bring back some memories?

Loved this song as a kid - great hearing it again, Thanks!!!!

[DENISMURRELL]

Had this on a compilation when I lived in Papua New Guinea in the seventies. Played that track endlessly till the tracks merged. I could never find another copy of it till now. Great to hear it again.

[650monza]

Looks like Charlie Tumahai must have played bass with Mississippi at some stage - he's there in some of the pics. Later on he played for Be Bop Deluxe Herbs - am I right?

[malabu2]

Yes you are right, two others also played bass with the band at some stage -Colin Deluca ,Andre Santos. Charlie also sang the lead vocals along with Beeb Birtles on the track Where In The World .

[TheKzag]

@650monza your right

[MitchMiller123]

Great band great song great memories. Thanks for creating this video

[malabu2]

Yeah thanks bro ! Good memories indeed ,for me it's around 1973 Preston Tech lunchtimes spent out on the school oval would've been 15-16yrs old,when you hear a song like this it seems like only yesterday ...
