Looking for Linda Hue and Cry

[BoraBoraSharkBoy]

Surprising. This is the 1st time I see the video and before I always thought that the singer was some soulful American Black male vocalist. The voices can be misleading.

[MrBiggoolie]

The fact that Pat disappeared up his own backside does not alter the fact he has the most amazing voice!!!

[fettessawmill]

@MrBiggoolie  true mate

[billyconnearly]

I found LINDA......she had 3 boys, no relationship, no self-respect, a "husband" who couldn't see beyond his next pint! I still love her.............I just wish I could've saved her.

[TheFullmoonslight]

I wonder if he found her again yet ?

[Pearlwig]

What a great voice.All the Simon Cowells wannabes could never match his voice.

[TheNEK1995]

are tops nice1

[fac5c1981]

Lol, I love the lyrics in this also

[neilramjee]

Great song.

Reminds me of falling in love with a girl on a train on the way to university.

Still looking out for her....

[dannyokeeffe]

Never found her again since 1989!



[nwmrt]

Keep lookin. It will be worth it.

[tomg106]

wonder if he found linda? 22 years on and still looking

[JustOffTheRegister]

i'd rape linda

[nhpm900]

They look like brother and sister:D

[tube2007rhw]

or as it became on ChrisMoyles show Looking Out For Listners

[bodjables]

What about her downstairs Mepartment.

Reece has found it.

[bodjables]

What about her downstairs Mepartment.

[watchit0202]

Jl you found your Linda xx

[Potionette81]

I first heard a little snatch of this song in an old episode of 'Only Fools and Horses' when it was playing in the Nag's Head. I liked what I heard and looked up the lyrics and then discovered what the song was. Its a great track and timeless too.

[dean2d]

Wotta voice !! superb !!!!!!!!!

[steve998]

Great song, great music,v really great voice. Just a shame Pat Kane was such a big headed, outspoken prick or they would have been far more successful as a group.

[bmckeeb1]

SUCH AN UNDERATED GROUP. I THNK THEY WERE FABULOUS .

[Garfoo74]

Looking for Linda Mackinnon from barrhead.

[DaveDaRave1980]

Loved this song when it came out, was 14 at the time, used to dance to it at school discos with my first love... nice to hear it again!

[rickydickydobee]

Linda looks the girl from Torchwood

[vladski67]

All of Coatbridge still looking..........

[ScottishLoyalists]

Downloading the song to get it back in the charts and coatbridge on the map!!

TOWIC!!

[eightiessongs]

A great story in a song sung brilliantly by the Kane brothers. It demands to be listened to several times when you hear it, with its laser sharp melody and warm humanity.

It's a shame Hue and Cry were not more successful but they created a body of work that has stood the test of time. If you like this you may like' Always the Last to Know' by Del Amitri, also a classic song with a story and a twist in the last line. Two of Scotland's finest exports.

[ThePeterwaltzer]

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY LINDA SHE IS MY BEST GIRL

[skintrade]

I never knew George Osbourne could play the keyboards! Great song though... always gets played at least once every few days on Absolute 80s fm

[loooolmum]

memories of my old restaurant job 2 hue & cry cassettes wer always bein played then "bros" wz played 2 clear people off home lol but i loved bros too back in them days!

[lindyblu99]

This song reminds me fo not so good memories when i was going through a bad time in my life,and my great mum came and found me in some dead beats house

[whitedust696]

So who is the real Linda and what she doing now ?

[jonnyf1970]

Paisley Gilmour Street Station ! What memories. In 1982 we were driving from Oban to Bristol and my Dad crashed the car right outside that station.

[swimlifeuk1]

Used to think this song was about me ......when i was a lot younger.......lol

[Hickey66]

I know she step out of a age that I did not know. We had our backs turnt in bed. She said, "I love you John" I made all the mistakes. I turned to her and said, "That is all I want to know"

You can't please a socalpath. Linda is the best woman I have ever known. Craazy, yet wonderful. she got me looking at the pavement because of her jealousy. She did not what me to see pals nor family. Control. Fack that!

[GRAHAM5020]

This is a lovely song, reminds me of starting a new job at that time.

[willis126]

I love this song, it's going to be my 1st dance at my wedding, as soon as i find a woman called Linda

[namesrhardtopick]

it was based on a true encounter

[yungpapabeae]

im married to linda , and i love her wi all my heart , i wud die if i didnt have her , LOVE U DARLING XXXXXXX

[rolwal68]

Did they ever find Linda?

[willtbh]

Omg, Paisley Gilmour Street...*facepalm*

[bigstegger]

Different Planet.

[whitedust696]

oh what memories ..there was a girl who looked like linda OH PLEASE WHERE ARE YOU........you went to MOSELEY PARK COMP in bilston west mids you know who u are............ i use to sing this song to you...xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

[merlymush]

Hickey 66. If you learned how to spell it may help!

[bluevan12]

Linda looks like an actress out of Taggart. Patricia Ross

[footballgeorgiebest]

' Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be Hue from Hue & Cry '.

[HevyDevy101]

Linda looks like Hagrid from the back...

[t1000eg]

still looking :-(

[Drinkman7]

That woman playing Linda in this video played Carol Baldwin in Corrie between 2005-2006 :~)

[SweetSesatia]

I love this song, it is MY song! lol!

[Hickey66]

I met LINDA in the rain. We married in Doncaster. The marrage lasted 3 months. Was it my blaime or her's?

It was her fault, why? Volence. She hit me on the head with a full bottle of vodka. Stabbed me in the knee with a kniefe and hit me over the head with a four by two wood. Being a boxer I could have killed her. Happy to note, I did not.

Since? I'm okay.

If she comes back? No.

I'm in love with a lesbian now. i asure you, nothing goes right in life.. Fuck it.

[tammas2000]

@Hickey66 Doncaster, eh? ;-)

[BLINDA1977]

@Hickey66 wow :)

[Mishima505]

OMG!!! It's 1989 and I'm 15 all over again!!

[whitedust696]

@Mishima505 realy if your 15 can i have LOVE HEART XXXXXXXXXXX

[feeney2009]

Is that a young Paddy McGuinness?? lol

[shammon1]

I was on the train when they filmed this clip. Filmed from Gourock tyo Glasgow in 1989. They took over 2 carrages and we had to fill just one.

[tirnaog09]

They guys do a great unplugged version of this on their brilliant 'Bitter Suite' album.

[Hickey66]

If I may explain. The girl in the video looks a bit like my ex-wife Linda. The raincoat is exactly the same as Linda used to wear and her hair is about the same length. She also carried a half bottle of spirit, in her case - vodka. She would also sometimes spend, when short of gigs, a ridiculous amount. Her temperment swiftly changed if she felt slighted. She oringinally came from Doncaster. She was Miss Doncaster once and made it as a Page 3 girl. She became a glamour model. It is her.

[jacko1972]

This is a great song and a great vid. I especially like the lyrics, if you listen closely, 'specially to the bit on the train, it realy tells a story.

[tammas2000]

@jacko1972 what is the story though?

[coltsuperocean10]

@jacko1972 ....yea it does!! Its the story of a fucking shit song!! how simple are you?

[delboyplonker]

@jacko1972 captain obvious

[floydrose42]

Actually, Linda looks kind of a pretty lass.

[Freakstorm66]

@floydrose42 I bet she aint so pretty now... LOL

[floydrose42]

I love their music and I now have their 'Remote' album CD. For some reason, sometimes they remind me of Level 42.

[walesrocks1]

I love this song! I play it daily now i've found it! Richieman...

[cle2882]

Classic 80s! Pat Kane hits those notes effortlessly!

[EvildeadCellar]

The lead singer would make a Hobbit look tall. Jesus he must be about 3ft 2.

Great voice though.

Linda was high maintainance if u dont ask me.

[frazzledazzle29]

love this video!!!!!!!!! xx :)

[Kidderminsterharrier]

Linda looks hot!!!

[frazzledazzle29]

i love this song and they were quite cute in thier day. lol. i love there voice and could listen to them all day. there album is in the car and if anyone changes the cd i scream lol they have amazin voices!! xx :)

[angelinajazz]

I have been looking for this forever. Wonderful song.

[shepshepherd]

Great song, great band. One of my favourites from the late 1980s :)

[ledivo59]

Indeed, Hue & Cry are sadly underrated, for Pat Kane is a very fine and gifted singer, which shows best on "Bitter Suite" and their later records! Met him 1991 at Harrod's/London with his little daughter. Had a short chat, nice lad! Thanx!

[craigllll]

very underated band such a clear voice

[Hickey66]

Hue and cry wrote Looking For Linda, because he, one of them, the singer met her. I married her. I the song is about her, because no one pays £35 pounds for a paket of fags. Wonderful!

[TordGrip]

@Hickey66 Except Wayne Rooney who pays £200

[doomlord1973]

This was a big hit when I was at high school its great and I have one of there albums in the car!

[floydrose42]

I love their songs, especially from the "Remote" album. This song is one of my favourites, next to 'Ordinary Angel'. I still prefer them with hair.

[SMOGGYLAND]

Amazing, school discos come flooding back, nice one!

[chenlung1]

Another one to add on the list of childhood memories ;),

[mummyslittledarlin]
