[TheElevenbutterflies]

On 8th Oct 1975 ... The date I have birth --->> The Number 1 single was: David Essex - "Hold Me Close"

[annalovely1000]

Gawd!!! 70's at it worst! Unibrow anyone.

[FCManutd2009]

Ok ...for everyone who listens to this over the festive season....Go for it in 2012 ..xxxxxxx

[SuperFruitloopy]

What the fuck has he got on...lol

[45soulvinyl]

He couldn't sing to save himself, embarrasing is the word

[bleeptester]

@45soulvinyl You are joking, David was the ultimate in cool.

[loglog29]

THAT SMILES JUST GETS ME , HES SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE , I JUST WANT TO PINCH HE`S CHEEKS.......AND I WANT HIS CAST OFF GROUPIES.......EVEN NOW !

[MrAmanda1970]

mmmm his eyes

[LolaofAr]

Yea...up until about 2 days ago when they played this on Radio 2.....I thought the lyrics where, Oh....these don't let me go , oh no. lol

[julierice100]

@LolaofAr heheheheheheeh.....

[Xapple09]

Is he joeys dad

[juzsittinhere]

like if 'Child of our Time' brought you here.

[NCW250]

Why didn't he sing this on Eastenders? He could have won that Helen Mirren look alike that mopes around. Just think it would have been magic. We could have even got Serena Gomez to sing 'Magic' in the square. But now he's gone never to be seen again. Wiseman. Cool cat. Class act. etc.

[darkbow98]

song was a bitch to find!

[Dovaly]

I love his voice.He's just gorgeous...He was then and still is...and I still would! ;)

[sandyandjai]

[purplebanana1000]

I'd love to piss on his face.

[sharonann3344]

[Woodseyman]

@natt432 No but you clearly are if you cant understand sarcasm xD

[natt432]

[forestgumpaed]

[Demonsword92]

lmao wtf? he's leaving eastenders to do this shit again...

[TMmusic]

Great!



[MizzCBlack]

my stomach still flips even now.... :D x

[turockandar]

Ha ha ha therein lies the sting...she is totally obsessed with Gabriel...and worse of all I know him personally, have worked with him on occasion and introduced her to him...there are crosses to bear in life and this is one of mine. Yes David old boy is not the most ugly man to ever have walked Good's green earth I'll concede that much:)

[GibbyGibbyGibb]

Why were all the guys in the 70s cute, the guys today are all UGLY!! I actually think David Essex looks better NOW though - more distinguished!

[sharona1981]

@GibbyGibbyGibb He was gorgeous then too, but I do partly agree with you-David is still incredibly handsome today. He never lost that twinkle and that beautiful smile. :)

[TheLady1012]

DAVID ESSEX IS THE BEST SINGER ON HERE

[ammegeel]

my god this man was just 2 sexy!!!!

[billy2rivers1]

DE was pretty cool and aint a bad actor but god the story line on eastenders .

[sharona1981]

I think David is a bloody brilliant performer-not to mention writer and actor. And yes, he was absolutely gorgeous when he was younger, but I think he's still dead handsome now. Let me just say that I've only recently discovered his music since I was born in 1981 so wasn't born when his fame was at its peak. But his music puts a smile on my face, makes me sing along, and even more amazingly, makes me want to dance (not pretty,lol). So, Mr. Essex OBE, take a bow, sir. You rule. :)

[turockandar]

@sharona1981 Ddid you notice that as they age he and Peter Gabriel look more and more alike?

[sharona1981]

@turockandar LOL-Peter Gabriel WISHES he looked like David Essex. :)

[turockandar]

@sharona1981 Ha ha ha ha! My wife thinks that Gabriel is the best looking man in the world:(

[sharona1981]

@turockandar And she doesn't think it's YOU?? For shame,lol! No, I have to say I definitely prefer Dave... :)

[bugsycool]

dick head eddie moon

[TjSpencer91]

hmmmmm this guy makes me wanna put smelly cod on my minge and a bit of red sauce then get my . . . . . . . . . . . . .CAT to lick it offf ahhh i love fishy tuesdays

[Sassy8528]

Still wanna rip the shirt from his back!! :0

[squizzy104]

@Sassy8528 Don't think u would like what you saw underneath it! :P

[squizzy104]

He's aged so badly. I show this my kids and they cant see ANY resmbalance to the guy in Eastenders!!

[NinaLuvsFriedChicken]

@squizzy104 was only saying that he has aged real well actually , the guy has charm and wot not for a nearly 70 year old!

[squizzy104]

@NinaLuvsFriedChicken He was born 23rd July 1947 I was born in 1949 he's 64 JUST He looks 20 years older than me!! Don't know what ya viewing him on but on my 60" LG he looks 80!! when a close up shot of him is shown. He does have charm and still the cheecky look, he needed then coz he couldn't sing and he would have no chance theae days. He's finished and obviously broke to take Eastenders on..One word FINISHED!

[NinaLuvsFriedChicken]

@squizzy10  OK!!!! damn 60 year olds should not be allowed on here lolololol

[squizzy104]

@NinaLuvsFriedChicken ROFL.Oh n before I go us 60 year olds do a lot 4 youtube, I have a few numbers on here (squizzy104) of me playing my favourite numbers on the Geeetar (i'm a guitar teacher) and also working on "memorylane1980s" where I haver over 500 vids on!! there will be about 2000 vids on when I've done so there!!!!

[mrsdewinter1]

So cute! I know he's still a Fine Thing but I'm glad I'm old enough to remember when he was such a cutie... See, kids? There are *some* advantages to being born before 1990.

I love this song, even though it came out 19 years before I was born, I remember my Grandma singing it when I was little :)

[nickhirst999]

@JessiScribblesHearts

Ah that's sweet! David Essex was a heart-throb for all girls in the 1970s. I was a 6 year old hetero male when this song came out but I still love it and David Essex was a role model for all us pretty boys who wanted to woo the ladies!

If I were a hetero girl I'd fancy him! He's gorgeous!!

[julieanddavid]

i was only 6 yrs old when this came out

[378Daniel]

What do you mean he didnt age well..he's still good for 62. A nice human being...we all get old & age...it's what we all do..simples...!

[mauchan1smokes1weed]

[hopefloats57]

[SUZYB65]

lol no tims got amazing eyes lol

[MrConcepto]

qui a aimé david essex autant que moi ?

[smirkinbabe]

you have to love the old tunes we grew up on :-)

[TOTZ2000]

In his day this was dress sense from there over 60 managers How much of a resemblance to Elton John lol QUIRKY but good even on tv.

[elaine61]

Went to see ALL THE FUN OF THE FAIR tonight and loved it, he looks much older now but still has the magic and those blue eyes.

[LilmissPyrotechAnnie]

@elaine61  blue eyes ????? try brown

[NanaJennyfur]

@LilmissPyrotechAnnie nah, they are definately blue ;)!! Just an old vid so you can't see it so well..

[audimanpov]

Hated it then, hate it now, and the other crap he sang, what a load of old tut, the man must have laughed all the way to the bank. Fair play to him though, he must have pulled some totty ..... : )) Gotta say though ' Oh what a circus' was fuckin brilliant and is one of my favorites, yeah ,go figure ?

[livemusicloverLyn]

@audimanpov Why look & listen to it then?! I dont get lookin' in and then complaining about the singer?! He is and was a proper showman, a good stage actor as well as singer. Yeah and a heart throb - maybe you are jealous?! That sort of Charisma and sex appeal does not fade - guy s look at the likes of Joanna Lumley he's our (females's) equivilant! Dont diss it if you dont like it dont look in!

[audimanpov]

@livemusicloverLyn ....... So how freakin boring would that be having a load of sycophantic comments, bet you didn't reply to anyone else and say ' yes, yes I love him too', anyways, did I say I didn't like the man ? Did I say 'Circus' was brill ? Did I say fair play to him for shagging more teen totty than you could shake a stick at ? Get over it Lyn, the song is capital K, KRAP, and you know it, you just got caught up in David, we love David " pre teen rock-idol shit when you were a kid.

[sonsielass1]

Is it me, or does he look slightly embarrased to be singing this? I like it though. Catchy. My older sister LOVED him when we shared a room together growing up. She got really upset one day when a fly landed on a huge poster she had on the wall......and shat on his nose!!!

[fasterbludger]

robbie williams probably grew up loving this...jst like the rest of us.

[tygersofpantang]

Super talented man ,great voice. no wonder he' s shagging some doll half his age!!! GO DAVE GO!!

[GogWally]

Who chose David's clothes, Rupert Bear's mother?



[woodster1965]

@GogWally this was 1975 man!! it was called fashion back then.
