My nickname up to now is Scobie becoz !`m a David and when i was young apparently i loved this song!!! Emotional!!!

[Villeroyale]

Jeepers, that takes me back! Great stuff.

What were you thinking, Scobie? How can you make an entire music video without some half naked babe draping herself over you?

[KEVINLIEBENBERG]

HI DAVID...HOW OLD ARE YOU NOW AND WHERE DO U LIVE ??

[truesbob]

[shadelcassian66]

I remember a friend saw you at your first appearance. My brothers went to PE. We all live in the United States now. Miss Rhodies though.

[Debinikita]

oh boy.. the memories of this song.... wow.. loved it... thanks for this.. I can't stop smiling.....

[seankneppers]

Harare was beautiful. Nice music, nice people. This song was a number one hit in the early eighties if I remember correctly. Nice to hear it again for the nostalgia. It should have also been a hit in Europe.

[n0manland]

i do remember this song but wasnt my cup of tea. it was a big hit in my native south africa though. nice pics of harare. my heart is in africa.

[svikiro]

Classic tune, This tune must be released again. Go Scobie.

[duckfromzim]

Wow. Look how clean Zim is. What vivid memories. I never thought I would hear this ever again! Loved it 30 years ago (when I was seven) and still do. Nice one David and like Brogue Music too.

[tinmiss]

my goodness i have not heard this song for years. i was in std. 5 when this came out and i thought this man was singing about me - hehehe. i was such a nerd then and identified with this "gypsy girl".

[hnorky]

Now this version is up, I'm taking mine off here. Thanks spans for the original.

[allanweedon]

you rock bru

[bushmanfred]

Great memories of growing up in our wonderful land Rhodesia. Keep the memory alive with your music.

[2observant]

A weird mix of happiness and sadness for me stirred by this.

Glad you posted it though Scobe and wishing you well.

[SLOPPYTHESLOWORM]

Amazing. Neil Diamond aged about nine! Seriously, it's a great song. Never heard it in Britain though. Was it released here or banned by PC zealots or something Also, dare I ask, and hope I'm not missing the blindingly obvious, is the 'Bob' in ' We don't like Bob' one Mr Robert Mugabe? Zimbabawe seems as if it was such a beautiful country, and one day it will be even better for everyone. Sadly the UK Government seems to have forgotten you. My love to you all.

[warnedbigbear]

those were the days in salisbury rhodesia. well done dave. just like i remembered you at school then. keep it up. brilliant song

[sheymud]

[MasimbaMusodza]

I'll confess that "Someone to love" is another favourite. Probably the first time I'm admitting that publicly-proper Zimba chap I am. I wonder if there is a video for it.

[DavidScobie1]
