Wow, I haven't seen this since it was first broadcast and it's brilliant. Is this from the famous TOTPs edition when Tony Burrows appeared as a member of 3 or 4 groups? Thanks for posting this. A good group who had a handful of hits and then disappeared. But they left behind a few gems like this.
great group and song, about 1.02 minutes into the song there is a great blonde woman dancer just to the right of the main singer as you are looking at him for about twenty seconds she is really getting down to the song, she would have to be in her sixties by now, who is she, or if she is still dancing, does any body know, thank you
@hottfoxx1 I think this is a member of the audience, they used to dance on Top of the Pops around the stage. So not a professional. Would be hard to trace! Sorry my friend.
Roger was part of David and Jonathan who had a UK hit in 1966 with Lovers of the World Unite (it is on YouTube). The other member of D&J was his songwriting partner Roger Cook.
I was born in the 70's and I still can remember this song. Awesome music, the arrangement is of very high quailty. They don't make songs like this anymore. Its as darn shame. Thanks for posting
@annie482000 It seems at the time since he sang with Brotherhood of Man, and Edison Lighthouse, and all these songs were on the charts at the same time they were trying to project that he wasn't the lead on all of them..Hoping maybe people would think he was someone else...thats my guess.
@annie482000 I don't know why or how this happened;..It is unheard of;at least in my lifetime.- Like Lennon singing :Yesterday" while McCartney just plays bass ...Maybe an exaggeration, but you get my gist
i don't know why but in just a mere few years the innate instinct to dance naturally and know how to groove will be lost, somehow. I don't understand that.
Oh man, this takes me to late Spring of 1970, end of the school year heaven in Mrs. Muscifan's 6th grade class,the last year of innocence before 7th grade and adolescence.I swear everything changed, I went from being a bright eyed kid
into hotwheels and four square to a sullen pimply boy who now locked his bedroom door and kept secrets. Ha ha
This clip has been overdubbed. When White Plains performed on the show Roger Greenaway sang live lead vocals (presumably because Tony Burrows sang lead vocals with 2 other acts on the same show)
You can see the clip with original live vocal posted here on youtube by MrOldiesunlimited2
Roger Greenaway and Roger Cook wrote a bunch of great pop songs, including one of my all-time faves, "You've Got Your Troubles" by the Fortunes. Thank you so much for sharing this video!
Folks, this is the actual 45 recording. They're lipsync'ing and I'm guessing that since Greenaway wrote it they gave him the honor of appearing to be the lead vocal in this clip. Burrows is actually singing the lead in the recording, and as someone observed, is most likely also doing the backing vocals. Remember, this wasn't a "real" group, just a studio recording. Any group you see (other than Greenaway and/or Burrows) is whoever was around and knew the words.
@MrTrashcan1 Robin Box , founding band member and guitarist ( and who owns the band name ) ( and who I assume is `MrRobinbox` on youtube ) says the actual lead vocals on the recording were performed by band member Rick Wolff which would mean that Tony was on harmony vocals and not lead
Tony 100% is the one all the way on your left.(look at that smile, you have to watch alot of his videos to pick up on it I guess)And is not singing lead! Whoever it is, their voice is a tempo or 2 down than normal Tony's voice. You have to listen to ALOT of Tony to pick up on it. Why he's not singing lead on this one when he was there for the background, I have no idea! There a great close up of him @ 1:00
What am I gonna say other than I enjoyed this song when it was a top 40 hit & I still can enjoy it, the whole thing is that it comes with a video now! Thx4 posting.
I thought Tony Burrows was the lead singer on this song, but this is the 3rd video I have seen on You Tube all with differant leads. Oh well, it is still a awesome song and thank's so much for posting.
Great Song....One of a few songs on TOP that was lip synched.....Tony Burrows (on the far left) actually sang lead on this recording. Roger Greenaway (singing lead on this video) wrote the song. Awesome people during a great era.
@n0032083 Are you SURE Tony is singing lead on this recording? It does sound like Tony, but then again, the background vocals sound like Tony as well.
@n0032083 Thank you for clarifying this. I noticed that Tony Burrows was on the left and was singing back-up on this video, so I was really confused! Thought I had been wrong about him singing the lead all this time!
@bugalcaps Yes-- I heard Roger's actual vocals on the other uploaded video from the same show.... He did a good job, but it is treason that Tony Burrows allowed him to sing the lead he made famous while he was on the same stage---- Roger had huge balls to do this!! Absolutely unheard of!!!!
This song always makes me feel happy........
