Sandy Newman, the lead singer in this video, only sang lead vocals on one Marmalade hit, "Falling apart at the seams". The only original Marmalade member still with the band is bass player, Graham Knight.
When Dean Ford and Junior Campbell were in Marmalade they were really something!!
@edwoodtwo We're working on it! PLEASE join the Dean Ford Singer/Songwriter Facebook group to get our #s up! We're hoping Dean will do a live chat. Listen to Reflections of my Life and remember what a great Singer/Songwriter he is. Jimi Hendricks said he had the best song of 1967. Then, INVITE YOUR FRIENDS TOO! THANK YOU!
I saw them at Butlins Bognor Regis last weekend at the 60's Festival,,, and trust me when I say... He can't sing now.. I have seen this band 10 times over a 15 year period.. and it was pityfull to watch and listen....... Probally time to bow out gracefully and remember they way they were and not how they are now,,, just sad old men
Are you people serious...criticizing his look ? Men go bald or thin out and the best look is to just shave the rest off...I think he's handsome AND sings beautifully....you are probably all fat and have gross receding hair lines that make a little clown ring or a comb over !! I can't believe I'm even responding here !
dean ford!!,you blastard!!! when did you go bald!!! mr junior campbell did better when you let him leave,what the hell is youre daft bald look all about?? are you trying to be tough??
you better not be the hero of the marmalade of the sixties,you baldy.....are you joking??the lead singer of scotland's finest,bald,on a harley?? fcuk off pal...
Dean Ford or wee Tommy McAleese (Dean's real name) from Coatbridge. He started of working for my father in law as a storeman in a car parts owned by house of fraser.
New or original, who cares, if you cant have the originals you get what's on offer - thank god theyre keeping the music alive, and doing a damn great job if you ask me. We cant wait to see them LIVE tomorrow (26th March 09) at The Frog & Wicket, Eversley Cross, Hampshire Rg27 0NS from 9.00pm. 40 years on & reviving memories with tunes like these - fab! By the way look up the Velvet Hearts, lead singer is Sandy Newmans son - now they really are something.
After all these years,this is still such a sweet song...And guys,I am sure this is Dean Ford--remember 40 years have gone by...I love the Marmelade <3
Dont want to offend anyone, but any song can be song but the original Singer is the one we remember,if he is gone you have lost the song. Anyone can reproduce a cord !
I think we've established it's not Dean Ford. I have a two CD set of the group's stuff and several of the old singles, including this song. I celebrate the fact that Graham Knight kept the group going, but there is only one Dean Ford/Tommy McAleese
Oh Lord, this is one of my favourite songs - but it's such a poor cover. The original song featured the original singer of THE MARMALADE:
Thomas McAleese or Dean Ford as he later called himself later. And he had a GREAT voice. The ORIGINAL single had a REAL brass section and a REAL strings section on it - and not these synthesizer sounds "out of the box".
By the way - Dean Ford COULD REACH those high notes when he sang "... but I remember summer skies".
This is great. This was never released in NZ as a single, instead it went to a local group, Dedikation, who made it one of the top local hits out of 1969. They did quite a good raw and gutsy version too. Shame I can't find it on video anywhere, I'd put it on youtube.
This song is so catchy.If I didn't know better I would swear that this is the train station at Llandrindod Wells, Wales.It's the spitting image of it.

Sorry, but this wasn't a top 20 hit, well not in the UK. In fact, I don't think it even made the top 30.
Marmalade are not the same without Dean Ford's distinctive vocals.
