[modelwannabe2]

My dad sang this for my mom's b-day bash...such a sweet song, oh baby!

[Meglpool1234]

The guy in the green t shirt Ray Lake was found dead in a filthy flat with a drugs overdose, ironic isn't it !

[Meglpool1234]

The reason Kenny Davis left the group was he didn't leave he was told he wasn't wanted because he was lets say ( not as good looking as the others) he was a better singer..anyway Kenny Davis's body was fished out of the river mersey some years later with not even a mention from the Real Thing..Shame on you guys!!!

[hollywoodswinging79]

oh what a beautiful song, I so miss this 70's sound

[MrFavino07]

70 jeahrs......jeeeeee...

[wwibbelt]

Faith No More did it better.

[megaflymoon1]

Being a soppy sod that I am...this song sums up my feelings for my wife...!

[TheLatinaprincess77]

so sexy and beautiful!

[batvanio]

One of my favorite songs. :)

[Ellie9691]

[xxcutedancerxx1]

[kevterms]

@xxcutedancerxx1 i thought i was the only person alive who had that exact thought. peace

[xxcutedancerxx1]

@kevterms hahaha so did i lol

[mistermister723]

Poetry in Disco Music! Now that's the real thing because to me, this song is simply everything...

[greek909]

this is music :)

[TheDomino83]

really great classic

[MACHAWK123]

It's a product of it's time but is still a timeless classic - I'm amazed none of the recent 'plastic' bands haven't covered it succesfully - it's such a gem of a song for a boy/girl band to cover, although whether they'll do it justice is open to conjecture?

[boogiefever1985]

The best quality on youtube

[jola411]

love it this is my music ;)

[mojo568]

love it this is just music as it should

[AnnAAngel1564]

Yeh i have the power.

[TheMichele2005]

Saw this band live in Batley West Yorkshire! gr8!! was a young girl then! but still luv em in me 50,s! x

[genrebebe29]

so funky!

[moonch497]

classic

[Gonzoidzz]

This is such a magical song, loved it when I was a kid in the 70's .

[KarolJackson1]

If I only knew then what I know now. This was/is our song ........ Still love you KJK xxx

[bigunfromwigan]

[TheEyeMaster1]

[EMRAHsays]

MAN can sang,,,, live!!!!

[TheUltimateAuthority]

No 1 on the day I was born. Better than the No1 on my 18th I suppose Wet Wet Wet

[eric2181965]

This dude sounds like an early Luther Vandross.

[wagster42]

all i worried about when this song was out was shoes, now i still care about shoes but childrens uni fees come into the equation. damn when did that happen!

[kingleonidas1097]

pretty damned good. luvin the soul.

[mikeat48]

Oh what a year and what a great song!! 17 years old,not a care in the world;all I ever wanted was petrol for my Italian Garelli sports moped,money for a can of coke and a mars bar...but not a clue about how to ask a girl out for a date!!I If I only knew then what I know now.....

[winterweib]

@mikeat48 I love you for your comment <3 Best wishes, my dear.

[canauachipemaginge]

@mikeat48 I dont remember any more the year of this song, but I do know that this sound beat is from the lates 70's. Awesome!

[whatname0099]

Im gonna sing this song with this group before I die and to sing with Glady's Knight and the pips (midnight train to geogia).

[merseylassy]

I was 17 when this was number 1..they came from my home town "liverpool"

The world was my Oyster and i didnt know it ...oh if only we could turn back time :) this has relly put me in memory mode..thanks for sharing

[13WILDBILL]

5 people ain't got no soul!

[LuisCasanovaV]

Excellent video and song. Thanks for sharing.

[bradfeliciano1968]

[Noremac241]

It was No1 in the summer of 1976

[MelodyMaker151]

[ginaandkev]

[KBMification]

It's all coming back to me now!

[sjssrox]

HAHAHHAA jus had a visual in my head about the first guy on the right...he gets dressed into it and then "guys does my butt look big in this?"

[sharlarmar]

Folks! This is the Real Thing with their debut single hit " YOU TO ME ARE EVERYTHING " Great song back in the days. This song proven that some

people are very special in other people life's. I the 70s. Time of our life's.

[Fluffyjo58]

so di I beth 7527.... it was round about 1973 or 74 I had just about finished school

[MrShaunahmed]

i was born in the 70's and when i heard this song in the 80's it resonated with me. At community functions we still get down.... a unique south african dance linked to a salsa version and we jive and glide and spin.... right now im sitting on my chair and im bobbing. the lyrics are real, clear and the melody awwwwwwwww.

[boy433]

I really love it . I love soul to be around me . It's really sparkling star and beautiful people. It makes me so happy and eye were being sparkling. Love it . I remember it in my heart.

[ovo180]

Who gives a toss whether the artists or audience are Black,White,green,yellow etc...? good music is good music whoever makes it surely ?

[5316008]

IS KOBE BRYANT SINGING?

[edmon040979]

I like it!=:)

[fendergambit]

it's so funny....everyone in the crowd is white...and the only one's not white are the band members.

[joeybeck]

is that Lamount Sanford singing?

[riddlemy]

Now this is music....man...i love it!

[sharpanator]

come on and take the rest of me oh baby

[yug62]

why don't they make the real thing music like this anymore??

[normvork]

Simple and beautiful!

[mattdaddyful]

The problem is that TODAYS BROTHERS have to look tough and be tough....It makes no sense because it should of been the COMPLETE OPPOSITE.....All the senseless racism was in the 50's 60's and 70's...They would have a reason to look tough, mean and MAD....Today EVERYBODY LOVES Everybody...All you got to do is pull your paints down and puts some gold teeth in and come out with a song about THE GANGSTA life and your rich...Its a BUNCH OF BULLSHIT...Grow up BROTHERS....LOSERS

[t0mme1981]

@mattdaddyful: Real Thing were never as big as they should have been. Fantastic line up and genuine blokes.

[sandmaster117]

@mattdaddyful I don't understand why white people hated brothers in the 50, 60 & 70's. I thing in those times they where cool, now most of them gangsta's are shit so why wasn't it the opposite so there was in those good old time no racism and now just is is, then there is a reason to be racist

[mattdaddyful]

@sandmaster117 I couldnt Agree more my FRIEND...Today they are a BUNCH IMBECILE CLOWNS!!!!

[MrJanegoff]

@mattdaddyful fuck off you dick head...



[mattdaddyful]

@MrJanegoff Shut your mouth you UGLY BRIT....And by the way,Get your "CHIC-LIT"looking teeth fixed you big tooth Mutha Fucka....Bwahahahahahaha

[ecorobo]

@mattdaddyful i agree with you 100%, these guys had something real on their lyrics, and you can respect real. But talking about bitches and ho's and bling bling... thats pathetic to me.

[danielov23]

THIS IS REAL MUSIC I LOVE IT

[bjb8847656]

I hope they still make money from this - it is awesome - superb lyrics and a great performance

[debomarlisa]

what ?????????????? again I'm amaze .........I never realize that those incredible songs was made in the 1976.....really ??????? 'cause I thought it was in the 80's.....

I feel YEAH !!! every time I heard this song and still cannot believe that it was in the 70's actually

[sparkmac100]

[MabelAmber]

Something has happened to the world so that songs like these are no longer made and that singers like these simply can't sing just for the singing enjoying their own music. Thank God we have the recordings and the clips.

[kishwar1]

they don't write or sing meaningful songs any more, brings back so many memories

[kishwar1]

they don't write or sing meaningful songs any more,

What a bunch of FAGS

[MrJAYSTO]

@jobvindex .......turd

[jobvindex]

@MrJAYSTO I don't know exactly the meaning of the word "turd", but I assume is an insult. I deserve it, please accept my appologies. I've just wrote my first reaction to the liberal ways of those years, it wasn't my intention to be agressive

[skoobi25]

@jobvindex on what proof ( bar typo's ) do u have that they are what u say ???

on my assumption you have none ? or a tad jelous? NO? ... prove it :P

[jobvindex]

@skoobi25 My sentence was too aggresive, but i was just joking, sorry. (English isn't my mother tongue, i apologize for my errors) :(
