  • Been hoping to hear this again for many years. Bought the cassette with this song back in the day but have no idea where it is.

  • Yes, this is Terry Hall from FunBoyThree, probably best known for being lead singer for The Specials.

  • Loved this remake of The Sly Stone original. Nicely done, Terry.

  • Incredible cover the The Sly Stone original with a 80's twist to it.

  • I saw it years ago on VH1 Classic and dug it. Thanks.

  • I love it !!!!

  • I had a vinyl of this song,Roland Orzabal of TFF was a lead guitarist of this song.I hoped they will cover this song in concert in Araneta Coliseum.

  • OH MY GOD! I remember liking this song and video but could not remember what it was called or by whom (who?). I searched for it off and on over the years and then today by accident I happned upon it..... Cool!

  • Love this song to bits and I love Terry Hall with Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics in a band called Vegas. Anyone remember them?? Great song called Possessed came out about 1992. Muchos Wicked!!

  • Isn't that the guy from fun boy three?

  • yes must be

  • Fun facts on this one:

    (a) Tune was originally done by Sly & The Family Stone

    (b) The funky rhythm guitar lines were played by Tears For Fears' Roland Orzabal

  • i love you terry...

  • Theres something about Terry's Voice that draws you into the story and you want more and more.Also One of my favorites

  • I Loved It And Just Had To Comment Again! Thanks!!!!!!

  • One of the most beautiful tunes with an absolutely superb arrangement; while I was aware of Terry hall before this track, this made him one of my top three favourite artists and he has remained there.

  • sunset now - heaven 17

  • Wish I'd just remembered the old days, this is brutal.

  • bought this single on Ebay

  • KROQ 106.7 Los Angeles, played both versions

  • whoa! Had no idea there was a video for this tune...While it didnt' get a huge amount of air play back then, I did hear this on LIVE 105 out of San Francisco back in the day. Thanks for the post..good times!

  • listened to this at a furniture store Fullerton California 1987 Thompson's since 1952

  • How about confession or Miss Texas 1967??? Badlands???

  • Loved Terry in the Specials and liked him less and less after that. Nice to be able to listen to his later work on youtube without buying it. I appreciate the post! Thanks! Reminds me of Paul Weller going to Style Council after the Jam except I liked some of their songs, cannot get into this at all, it is like David Byrne after leaving Talking Heads and doing Calypso.

  • the remnants of 80's gone by forecasting

  • cool song but not the video. i don't like the dancing part. but i like the keyboards on the song. nobody played this song during the eighties but NU107.

  • KRoq 106.7  Fm Los Angeles 1987 long version and short

  • YEAY! I Remember this! At the time I didnt even know it was a Sly Stone track. Lovely!

  • The Waterboys-Fisherman Blues-1988

  • One of my favourite Sly tunes, covered by one of my faveourite artists! Cheers for the post.

  • This is like Manila in the 80s again!

  • Am i the only one thinking that terry hall truly resembles the great peter sellars?
