[0917gva]

I had never heard this before. It is a wonderful love song. The music and the lyrics are very appealing. I love that "...make you an offer you can't refuse, 'gonna put my finger on you." Thank you for sharing this with me. Thank you to the uploader also for this great post.

The guy who composed this song, Johnny Worth, is an old friend of mine. I knew him for years before I realised he had composed my all time favorite song. He also composed most of Adam Faith's hits and a host of others. He's about 80 now and living in Durham.

[gf1001]

Thank you SO much - I've loved this song since I had it on a compilation album in the early 70s. Just beautiful. Perfect. I wish I could find it on MP3.

[jhughes009]

One of my all time favourite songs, I love it

[deejayses1]

he was the lead singer in Londonbeat

[47antony]

music today cant hold a candle to this stuff.

[Alessio2468]

this came out on 1973

[givemeagirl1]

if it's any help i know i was 16 when this record came out because i had my moped and was waiting for my 17th birthday to have a 250 cc motorbike and i was born 29 may 1956 so could be late 72 or early 73 ?

[dirty06maggot]

the godfather lol

[babaloula]

Reminds me of the end of the night in the club and the tanked up mingers comin over for a slowie...arghh!

[spiritofthestreets1]

can anyone post his other hit jack horners holiday please ,

[shaaronie]

Beautiful! This brings back so many memories. Summer of 1973 I was spending the summer with Aunt Ruthie. This was her and my favorite song.

[TURNERRRRRRRRRRRR]

fucking..gay.

[teachmemagic2]

@shaaronie

wasn't it released in 1974?

[shaaronie]

You could be right, although I thought it was summer of 73 that I first heard it. I know it was sometime right after the "Godfather" movie came out.

[1marvinho1]

the best song ever jan holtrop

[monteleonenetto]

Very nice. Wonderful.

[cepefe2000]

Jimmy,

Interpretação fabulosa!

Cleber

Salvador, Bahia, Brasil

[naja46]

This is fabulous but the sad thing is , I remember it when it first came out all those years ago ! It still sounds as wonderful as it did then though . Love it .

[wmhough]

This has to be one of the catchiest songs of all time. You can't beat a proper orchestra backing as well. Quality.

[cjp0349]

Simply gorgeous piece of 70s Brit soul (even though he's american by birth)

Does anyone remember Jimmy in a one off TV show in the mid/late 70s called "Demolition Guy" or similar about a guy who worked on a building site looking for love ??

[MyOliver04]

@cjp0349 I actually have a copy of the LP that accompanied it (haven't played it for a long time, but I believe it was a film). Jimmy also sung the sound track to the movie Gold, starring Roger Moore, probably the best thing about it. I saw Jimmy live in 1973 - it was my hen night - he was incredible. Went back a couple of days later with my husband to be, Jimmy was ill and show was cancelled. We ended up going to a club, Spencer Davis was doing a gig alone on the dance floor, not bad, 2nd best

[radiance65]

Awesome trip down memory lane. Thanks for posting!

[gazzymodo]

Ahh... takes me back to being 15 again.. just left school, the most perfect record, in everyway. This man's performance is faultless. I could cry when i here this, as all the nostalgic emotions come back. One of the greatest songs ever.

[giantbicycle2]

My Favourite song ever

[flickersboy]

Amazed to see that nobody has highlighted the fact that Jimmy Helms went on to be lead singer for London Beat - check them out on youtube - he is still the biz!

[pigyob]

Falsetto heaven I've woken up in

[redwalls76]

Yes this what I call singing and good music. I remember this song when I was 13 years old back in the 70's and believe me when I tell you I still have my 45 record. This is a beautiful love song.

[acssol]

OH MY GOD!!!

WONDERFUL SONG!!

Greattings of Brazil!!!

[megskaetta2009]

[samscana]

Hi yes your to right you cant beat the 70`s music. Martin.

[augusto1960]

Essa música era a sensação dos bailes da década de 70. Não tinha música melhor para dançar agarradinho. Maravilhosa.

[dogkelp]

Thanks for the info Ampex196! I've loved every Les Van Dyke composition I've heard (I'm American). Perfect soul! This may be the most romantic, beautiful song ever written about forcing oneself on a woman (platonically or not).

[isthatmusicicanhear2]

when you are on this page with your speakers on, it must be music you can hear :-)

[karoliencasteur]

ik was 14 en voor het eerst verliefd. Het voelde zalig, gewoon die hand op mijn been als we naast elkaar zaten. toen kwam ik thuis van vakantie en vond dit liedje tussen de platen van mijn ouders.....

[Vharodark257]

Mágico!!! El mejor tema para bailar lentos...

[BonneNuitX]

Fantastic, what a voice, this song sends a shiver down my spine. WOW.

[eightiesnostalgia]

Brongs back the memories.. Man I feel old !

[Ampex196]

25 years on - this is still such a great track. It was composed by John Worth (aka Les Vandyke); originally from Battersea who now lives in North East England.

A prolific composer; he penned many songs that were major hits in the 1960's (quite a few for Adan Faith). He was often prompted & inspired by popular catchphases: eg. 'What Do You Want....' and 'Well I Ask You...' to name just two.

One of the greatest songwriters of all time!

[Ampex196]

Did I really say 25 years when I should have said 35 years !!! Time does fly when you get to my age!!

[smilersweetness]

Truly beautiful!!

[ekim292]

Many thanks for posting.I've been trying to find another classic from Jimmy called 'when you get right down to it?'Anyone out there herd of it or can post it?

[scoppio07]

Hi ekim - there is a version of 'When you get right down to it' by the Delfonics on the tube. Quite nice version but not sure it's the one I remember or if it was by Jimmy H either - memory playing tricks maybe. But at least there is that version here. Andy

[ekim292]

Cheers Andy.

[secretspice]

Rare and awesome power!

This dude rocks :)
