maybe its odd for some people..but this is my favorite version of this song and after this is Dionne warwick version and then Hall&otes and THEN is The original with R.Bros... close to that is elvis version..
Can't you hear that it's the origional guys performing? My sister was a mad flying pickets fan, & she copied the tapes of theirs she had for me(god...so long ago...lol!), & this song was on it. I remember singing along to it really loud on long drives.
I absolutely love the ORIGINAL group form the 80's and have The Lost Boys on CD,my Dad has their album Blue Money on Vinyl (Brilliant version of Purple Rain on it).I saw the ORIGINAL guys live at a gig and they are/were supremely talented.The Falsetto range 1m55 on is incredible.The IMPOSTERS you see or hear in the later Usurped group have murdered some good music and are killing the original name of the Flying Pickets.You need to get a musical taste transplant jumpdance24.
I agree Streetsamurai the originals are great but by the time the Blue Money album came around not one of the original band members remained. The 1990s line up was ok though. It wasn't until Hereward Kaye and Gary Howard left that things really went downhill.
the pic is of the new pickets they have moved in and taken over the old ones! however i adore the old one but......... these guys can sing so out with the old n in with the new......... as in the drifters n 4 tops!
Glad to see fans who recognise that the band performing are the excellent original Flying Pickets who made No 1 with Only You in 1983. No idea who this lot in the picture are. There is a later band making what passes for a career by stealing the original band's name and taking credit for their success and songs (see FP website, which is a complete disgrace). Maybe this is yet another bunch of fraudsters. Sincerest form of flattery my ass, probably actionable!

One of the best a capella groups. I like them because of their singing. What they do at home in bed is entirely their own matter.

there is no one left of the Original F.P.s. It´ quite good, but only a coverband. Listen to the Originals if you can and you´ll here the difference.

Best acapella version by far. Still missing that certain something. And I'm not a fan of the effects.

Never got to see them live unfortunately.
Dunno who the new group are.

its not the same as the Righteous Brothers, but it certainly is good.
I think the lead is a bit higher pitched and I'm not a big fan of his voice, but overall... well done
