1976 was one of the best years ever if you were a kid. If you didnt live in chelsea nobody in this country noticed the so called swingin 60s, but we all sure as hell enjoyed the 1970s. Long may it live special!
Thanks for posting one of my lifelong favourite songs! I've been watching Top Of The Pops 1976 on BBC4 this year. I hope the BBC do another year of the show throughout 2012, it's been a wonderful slice of my childhood.
Nunca he entendido por que me gusta esta cancion pero cada ves que la escucho me da una mezcla de alegria y triteza¿por que ? no se pero la encuentro muy hermosa su melodia es bellisima.
WHAT MEMORIES, MY LATE DAD LOVED THIS AND SO DID MY LATE HUSBAND, IT HAS SWEET MEMORIES FOR ME, GREAT SONG, WISH WE HAD MUSIC LIKE THIS TODAY DON'T LISTEN TO TODAYS RUBBISH, CAN'T BEAT THIS MUSIC.
stumbled across this by accident and actually made me cry......I was six years old when this was number one, and I had forgotten all about it. I must have loved it, the memories came flooding back and i was a little girl again.........made me very emotional
@Feisty1967 Have listened to this song 5 times in the last hour. Absolutely timeless, and totally agree, carefree memories of my childhood as well. When life was soooo simple.
For some reason - this was the very first single I asked for when I was about 6 or 7 - I got it Xmas 1976 and then went out and got the album too! - Still got it !
Wrong. Their step-father is the Polish miner Kowalczyk. Their father (Veldpaus) died of a disease called 'Hodgkin' when the 3sisters were very young.
The blond lead singer is Toni Veldpaus (born 1953), her oldest sister is Marianne Veldpaus (the red-haired, born 1951) and the brunette is Betty Dragstra-Veldpaus (born:1952).
In the beginning Betty was the lead singer; their record-company choose Toni as the lead.
Today the 3 sisters live in or near Brunssum - Holland.
My heart beats faster each time I listen to this song...........it reminds me of those days when I was young and carefree, innocently living a village life with nothing more than a cheap guitar I played during our old days' jamming sessions sitting on a fallen log.......Those were fun days......!
Lembro quando a Tranzamérica tocava essa musica em 1975, em stereo ( ela foi uma das primeiras) aumentava o volume do meu TKR e saia curtindo pelas ruas de minha amada Sampa.

the 70s i smagical and their music lives forever. I am proud to be born in that era, and growing up listening to songs like these, how beautiful and nostalgia!
I'm Dutch, born in the late 60's. This song brings back all good and cheerful memories of the seventies. I still quite often go back in time, to that decade, when I turn on an old LP or (more modern) a CD without all the fizzles and rumble.
it was a nostalgia trip the blonde chick tonny wille' she is really hot mama back then and still is . As a awsome voice and knows how pitch these notes . As for you kayrosx1 your ears are out of wack you wouldn't know a good song if it bit you on the bum (excuse my french) to say that but it's true
A hit elsewhere in Europe in 1975, it took a further year to reach the UK number one in October 1976. This single was an example of the catchy sing-a-long songs that could do so well back in the 7os. No pretense just a cracking pop record. And it still sounds good. Came from a time when having a hit record meant something, and sold 100s of thousands of copies per week.
The same musical genre as Abba , Boney M, Silver Convention, Vicky Leandros, and Middle Of The Road, '70s Europop, Great Stuff, they don't make 'em like that anymore
You think that was bad. What about 1974, The Rubettes being ousted off the top spot by Ray Stevens - The Streak or John Lennon being knocked off the top spot by St Winifreds School Choir in 1980. The british public have a lot to answer for lol
ahhhhhh.....this brings back great memories
