Absolutely brilliant. Smokie had a lot of hits back then and this was up with their best! I think that Smokie were a Bradford band, But Chris Norman is from Redcar in North Yorkshire (just down the road from me) I think.
Smokie are a big part of my childhood memories. I remember peeking out of my bedroom door at night, watching my parents and friends on weekends banging on pots like drums, singing and laughing, just loving life. Makes me smile so much :)
Sinn unseres Lebens ist größtmögliche Entfaltung und Vervollkommnung der eigenen Persönlichkeit in größtmöglicher Harmonie und Verbundenheit zu unserer Mitwelt.
Smokie - a fantastic band.The guys are so cool too watch.It's sad but true, technology has changed the world. Video clips are now so perfected and false. Not like watching Smokie in the 70's so cheeky and natural. Chris Norman is - eye candy - makes my heart swoon when I watch him. I feel like a young girl again and he is singing to me.He's just gorgeous!
@vallirainbow1954 o c'mon it's a funny vid but it's ugly playback and awfully cheesy. I grew up with them too but watching them now and understanding the lyrics (I'm austrian) is kinda strange...
I was 11 years old at the start of 1970.............21 a decade later, I feel very lucky to have grown from a boy to a man in the 1970's, so many changes in a decade many say music forgot about ? What are they talking about, for me it was & will always remain the greatest decade of my life & Smokie along with quite a few other epitomise that era, superb !!!
real pop,but i love it,hmmmm,where is she today,maybe scroll throu facebook,
dede are you still there. Dede,i'll be waiting,you know where,but dont come with you know who.yeah, you lay back with some one you love...................just call on meXXX
I remember seeing Smokie sing this song on Holland's Top Pop, about 30 years ago. Many years passed and I've never lost my affection for this group. Although its hard to be a Smokie fan when I haven't heard them on the radio for years. Thank God for You Tube.
God im 50 now these were my fav band [still are] i remember 2 girls wanting to go out with me at the time this song came out , one of them San brought me the latest Smokie LP , im still with her today 30 or so years later
Catchy song, but I can't believe that was mimed back in '77!! I mean look at the clobber they are draped in, looks more like '74-'75 at a push.
Was'nt all that glam looking outrageous clobber gone by then? The Clash were releasing their first album, The Jam too and The Sex Pistols. I suppose it took a while for that Mott the Hoople look to get lost for good.... the lyrics are a bit dated though 'Baby i'd die for you..' (yea right)
@prunch72 You say it was mimed? I just watched it closely by gee if it was they did a good job with it. They were a good band and I've seen clip of them in nrecent years and the haven't changed.
@mollymitch1 Dude, their guitares are'nt even plugged in, and where is the accoustic guitar comming from? or all the backing vocles in 3-part harmony?? come on I mean it's so obvious. Anyway, rock on!
@stevealiaselvis I'm with you mate all the way, 55 and still in the land of.....'But they don't make them like that anymore'......shame about the youngsters eh?...worrabastard!!............xx.................just bring back the seventees easy init.
@stevealiaselvis you are 50. I'm just past 50. Those days songs were great. If I did not dream so much because of these songs, I would have got my paper degree. I suppose. : ) Sigh... no regrets. Re-living those songs and days NOW ! YA !
@stevealiaselvis i am 42in august but still this is love to me, along with Sweet, The Beatles, Elvis and so many more! Never forgett the past, the riches in music tradition!!! Go " Alice"!
This is just a masterpiece a beautiful song and listen to that guitar. Great great great +++++++++++++++. I am 23 but these songs last a life time, the new ones today are just for the period.
Those flared pants are great. Bring them back, with the platforms - anything that doesn't make my bum not look big....not that I have a big bum. Dreamy 70s lovin and carefree.
ok youtube people, can somebody help me; im looking for a video for 'i the heat of the night' - not the on that starts ' in the heat of the night and you know it aint right' - but the one with the lyrics 'When I was young I had a dream
I think it's hilarious at 1.15 when Alan says something to chris who replies "no uI can't be bothered.... then points to the camera and smiles...funny!!!!!
Gees...just for one day I would like to go back to these times but also take my kids there for them to experience these times......music will never be the same so many great hits and great music.!!!!!!
love this song....beautiful....
