bluestraveller, your spot on. the 70s was an era never to be repeated again. fantastic music and a nice pace of life before this mad false debt ridden era we are now in. i feel priveledged to have lived and experienced the 1970s
Fantastic memories from a bygone age where music was about good times and the chase for that elusive skirt and subsequent love. Life was smoother and chart day on tuesday lunchtime with the tranny (radio) pressed to your ear to find out who was number one was the highlight of your week - well that and taping the charts on sunday evening to see if you could stop the recording before the dj talked over it !
@graybenham Yes, I do remember that era ... as (I guess) does nearly everyone over the age of 45. Can you recall the name of that excellent DJ who presented the chart show on Radio One every Tuesday lunchtime in the late 1970s (and very early '80s)? It was Paul Burnett. He had a great voice for a radio presenter - very well-modulated and pleasant to listen to. I always got the impression that he was a genuinely nice man, too.
I've been in love with Anne (the toothy one) since 1977 but she married the bass player, had kids and moved to South Africa in 1982.,Seeing as I live in Liverpool and am on the dole,there is not much chance of love blossoming .Unless she decides to visit the "The Trumpers Arms" pub round our way,my heart will be forever broken.
This was the forerunner of real British pop. We lived it!!! What a great sound. Cathy Dooley was ahead of her time...in looks, style, moves and vocals. This is real nostalgia. This is one that will last forever in our hearts......
I recently heard that jim had a heart attack. I hope he makes a speedy recovery. This is my most played song on YouTube, and brings back great memories of the seventies.
More than 30 years later I can smile at this 70s retro rubbish, but at the time it & similar 'choons' induced in my teenage self a 'Catcher in the Rye' sense of the sheer awfulness of the adult life that was awaiting me - thank gawd for punk & some proper music..
@Deandwl So ...... The Dooleys did not make "proper" music, then - in your humble opinion?
Personally, I think that the Dooleys' music was preferable - and superior - to the vast majority of punk rock singles that were released in the 1977 - '79 period. Some punk music was good ... but the vast majority of it (something in the region of 90%) was f****** useless, IMHO.
Oh, and by the way; if The Dooleys' MOR pop music is not to ur taste, why bother listening to it on 'You Tube'?
Yes, you have made a very good retort to my 'amusing' comment; fair play to you. it would seem I was a bit hasty in suggesting that you would have liked to have 'done it' with one of the Dooley sisters back in 1977.
I guess that it is time for me to eat a substantial slice of humble pie!!
They rented our flat for the whole summer in 1974 or 75. They were like family for six months. Very nice people and superb live, especially their Beatles medley. They were performimg at the El Rancho in Jersey
I take it that you do not think that the two female members of The Dooleys [who appeared on the archive footage of the band performing their hit single, "Love of My Life"] were particularly good-looking. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion ...... but I have to say that I strongly disagree with your assessment of Kathy and Ann Dooleys' 'looks'. Personally, I think that they were HIGHLY attractive/fanciable young women;
'gorgeous' is a word that springs to mind, in fact!
It's fascinating to watch the two sisters develop and polish their stage presence over the course of several years. Kathy's hair helmet looks positively frightful (on her, that is) and she comes off as a dorky teenager in this 1977 performance. Her moves look somnambulistic (that's sleepwalking for those of you from Rio Linda). Ann's a teensy bit more experienced but here were two female performers clearly NOT intended by God to dress alike or affect the same style on stage.

Great track ...... and a couple of very sexy birds. I was only twelve years of age in November 1977, but I soooooooooo wanted to get inside their knickers!!!
Excellent ! "Love of My Life" was a classic, 'MOR' pop song, which deserved to be a much bigger hit than it actually was. (I believe it got to #9 in the UK charts, at the end of '77 / beginning of '78.) In my view, it was right up there with the likes of "Love Grows" (Edison Lighthouse); "Close To You" (The Carpenters); "You Won't Find Another Fool Like Me"; (The New Seekers) and "Never Let Her Slip Away (Andrew Gold) as one of the classic, 'MOR' pop songs of the 1970's.
love this song great beat to the music as well liked other dooley tracks as well but this was a favourite music from a bygone era remember it like it was only yesterday
Britinpaus is so right,the 50s and 60s were so good.Why cant we have a strong government to sort this country out.This music is fantastic I suppose I should be
Featured on the soundtrack LP of the movie The Bitch (1979) - thank you for posting this, was not easy to find. - trying to find also the Dooleys "Scaredy Cat" on Youtube as well. DAVEDJ
The memories Just keep come flooding back,The 70.s was defo the decade to be a Teenager,Brill Music,Brill Times,Basically Brill everything,Even the Adults were not as Grumpy,Everybody lived.,No stress,as a few peeps have said.maybe better left in the past,I might start getting stressed out thinking about it now,well i am 48 now & working,Mortgaged up to the hilt,worry about Money,Worry about my Job,worry about my Kids,hell i could go on all Day,,God i wish i was a Teenager Again,,lol
I think we need to be straight here, some of you are mistaking "what a great band" with "I fancied the birds in the Dooleys cos they look like my Mum's friend who I dreamt of getting of with"
The most entertaining thing about this clip is the comment from Dave Lee Twat.
I absolutley love this song, and it isn't because of the girls who I think are very ordinary looking. The 70s had the most catchy songs ever, brilliant, I defy you to listen to this song and not smile :o)
@Britinpaus I cannot figure it out as well. I think a deluded vain egotistic clown called Blair has had a lot to do with it. Of course he believed God approved. The worst is still to come. We never thought how it would turn out like this in the 60's, but I did know a lot of fools when it came to Politics, so maybe I'm not so surprised.
@Britinpaus Well I could tell you, but I am afraid I would not be popular with the people who read the Guardian and the BBC. Also free speech is not really allowed in this country sadly anymore. So unless your opinions are in tune with the P.C brigade, well who knows. Remember the left want to change this country completely so as to be unreconisable.. A lot more of it started in 1997 with' a straight sort of guy' and his cronies. I could go on but as I said I could tell you but.....hush hush.
@Britinpaus Sadly not enough people realise what is happening and we are such an easy going people that it will be to late when the worse happens. People are more interested in what is happening in Eastenders and the x factor than making the people who sort of run the country accountable, Nick Clegg forgot he was in charge last week. I mean there is no hope is there. If you say what is true you will find yourself in court. Hopeless. I need to lay down in a darkened room.
@Britinpaus you mean the 3 day week, garbage strikes, british motor industry imploding, the highest rates of unemployment since the 30's. Yes those 70s were magic.
Seems not. Great band from a fantastic decade.(Remember the 7O's? Clue: This was a time when people smiled and laughed more,were less stressed,and life was much more mellow.....)
Love to see 'em again,although probably best left as a great memory!
@bluestraveller77 I was 11 years old when I first heard this song and I love it as much now as I did back then!!! I absolutely agree those days seemed so care-free, but I guess I was only a child and perhaps everything seemed that way. The Dooley's were great though. Thanks for posting!!! xxxx
Which one's Cathy? My guess is the one on the right, as the one on the left doesn't seem to have grasped the concept of dancing and couldn't really be described as sexy... usually the one I end up with at the end of the night, haha...
Cathy is the one on the right, the director on ToTP's obviously fancied the the one on the left as she is featured more so than Cathy in this clip, much to my annoyance, lol.
From my home town Ilford in Essex, I remember going to see them at the Gants Hill Odeon in 1980. Sadly that has recently been demolished.This is my fav track of theirs
wonderful video dont they come from stockport and now run a disabled aids shop? this is the news I heard a while ago, someone please say something if I am wrong, is it possible to get an autograph photo from them? I hope they see this text.
From Ilford, Essex, moved to Salford in 1973. they built a house in Clifton in the mid-70s. The brothers run a charity raising funds and buying motorized scooters and other disabled equipment.
Used to love the girl on the right,although the left hand girl was the best mover,happy days! Why cant we go back 40 years when life was so much better.
This takes me back to Fagins in Manchester where my wife and I went to see them in 1979, just after we got married. They sounded as good live as on record. Real "feel good factor "pop music!
I also remember thinking the lead Singer SO handsome back then! (I was only 15) The high-note singing was SO sexy... This was pop in its purest form. Compare the girls to modern day backing singers - and you'll see what I mean!
Oh my... I rememeber buying this unashamedly back in '77 and playing it over and over again... GTO records released some of the catchiest pop songs back then. Fabuluos and Thanks for posting!
They stayed at our house for the whole of the summer in late 70's when they were appearing in Jersey at the el rancho. They are really nice people. Their live act was superb
god! am i that old,wow you have brought me back to the seventies,i went to see the dooleys,at the golden garter wythenshawe,manchester all the top artist of the time appeared there,i was totally in love with the girls,like many others i wonder where they are now,the thecrazyshewolf,you keep listenin to um don't give a shit what anybody sez,they probably listen to all that rap crap toneless talentless drivel,ohh av'e i gone to far,shit no i ave'nt this music has soul and i got my memories .
Yeah, I love alot of old music, people at my school say I'm a weird little freak, so I told them to get the hell out or else, lets just say they left, one of them had a brocken nose, THAT'LLL TEACH THAT ASS!
Great pop record, and what a contrast to the tuneless pap that kids are served up today. Loved the girls too, their frocks might have looked like they'd come off the peg at Littlewoods, but that's kinda cool, I don't find these modern make-over slappers sexy at all.
I used to fancy the one on the right, then I discovered the younger sister who joined the group later... How fickle. Met them a number of times and they are terrific people. And ALL the girls are gorgeous when you meet them (then and now)

This takes me back to Fagins in Manchester where my wife and I went to see them in 1979, just after we got married. They sounded as good live as on record. Real "feel good factor "pop music!

I also remember thinking the lead Singer SO handsome back then! (I was only 15) The high-note singing was SO sexy... This was pop in its purest form. Compare the girls to modern day backing singers - and you'll see what I mean!

Oh my... I rememeber buying this unashamedly back in '77 and playing it over and over again... GTO records released some of the catchiest pop songs back then. Fabuluos and Thanks for posting!

They stayed at our house for the whole of the summer in late 70's when they were appearing in Jersey at the el rancho. They are really nice people. Their live act was superb

Great pop record, and what a contrast to the tuneless pap that kids are served up today. Loved the girls too, their frocks might have looked like they'd come off the peg at Littlewoods, but that's kinda cool, I don't find these modern make-over slappers sexy at all.

Nostalgia though - I'm in my late 30's and I do like this song

I used to fancy the one on the right, then I discovered the younger sister who joined the group later... How fickle. Met them a number of times and they are terrific people. And ALL the girls are gorgeous when you meet them (then and now)

So true. I was 17 in '77. The best ever time to be a teenager. Great music,cars you could fix yourself, no PC crap etc etc
williamastanier 4 years ago 3
Agreed.
Let's invent a time machine like in Back To The Future, but, an Austin Allegro, so if it did go pear shaped (hang on... it was!)...
Anyway, you could fix it yourself....
YES!
Come on Spielberg - let's make a movie!
