[wendywiz1]

another brilliant song steve your the best xx

[HilaryMG]

This sadly could never happen, but it would have been Amazing if Steve Ellis and my other favorite Steve Marriot were on stage together...thay would have been pure magic!

[HilaryMG]

Greatest singer and a great band!

[rockliffe22]

This reminds me of those wonderful days when I was discovering, coffee bars, mini coopers, girls and simple pop music for it's own sake. Songs that you could remember how to sing to yourself forty years on!

[cujo9]

steve was a fucking legend !

[brizeeuk]

@cujo9 yes he sure is

[MrAdamAlden]

Got to say, love the specs and the bass player looks like a young John Deacon.

If you ever get back together, do please let me know!

[K1SSMYGLASS]

Its a pity they removed the original. It was much better than this. You can still hear remnants of the quaility of his original voice.

[georgebur]

Well done. Pared back from the original but still Steve is in good enough form.

[TheMicko71]

fanflippintastic,

[POPPYCANDLE81]

Excellent video, excellent music, and a lovely great singer, have always liked Steve Ellis and The Love Affair.

[wiredtojupiter]

re the posts on Don Arden(Sharon Osbourne;s dad), in her auto bio, even she said her dad was a sh*t and he took money off even her in the end...he made her a director when she was too young to know and she was landed with all his debt...

[1CARPER]

Steve ellis rocks great voice

[littlehawk7697]

Brilliant - forever associated with a commercial for Guinness- hope they got a few quid in royalties out of it

[tmspepita]

try listening to his latest cd - proves he still has a great voice!!

[jmdm1957]

If anyone has one road can they please post.

[tmspepita]

hallo jmdm,

one road has been posted by

RadioBazterd. (only with pictures unfortunately)

[ampsnbits]

I may have a copy of One Road from one of the many live gigs we did that were recorded onto VHS. I do keep meening to copy them all over to add to the ones I have already uploaded But not to sure how good the quality is as they were done on hand held video recorders.. but will check them out soon ..Regards Mel

[DrummerFreak04]

Awesome song, great live performance.

Production on the original studio version (1969) was top!!

Steve Ellis's Love Affair should've released more live albums/films from their extensive tours in the 1990s! "Edinburgh Live '95" (recorded at the Cavendish) is amazing, wish there were more live recordings out there.

[54spiritedwill54]

loved this band in the 60s

[goggleyed2007]

No way can I forget this song, always played on the radio in the U.K in 68. I was 6 years old!

[admira78]

great song

[belsize55]

Bring on back the good times,just brill music :)

[ampsnbits]

Sorry Just to add that this show was Live Back in 1991 which makes it 17 years Old (almost to the day ) OK !!

[kevthedynamo]

I think this sounds even better than the record.

[lenticon]

Hi Melv,

Please post any other stuff you have i simply love you and the guys playing all those great great songs,when was the last time anybody has recorded songs like Rainbow Valley, Everlasting Love ect ect songs that mean something sung by singers who sound something keep your Robbies and Co give us good ole Steve Ellis anytime

[dicky1953]

Ik ben al mijn leven lang fan van the love affair

[upyerpipes]

Clearly Sir, I owe you an apology.

Best regards Upyer'

[chipmonk2006]

No problem at all. As an aside I would love to see the Old Grey Whistle test show of Widow Maker, I can remember them doing 'One For The Road'Has anyone got a tape of it Steve was great on that.

[kevthedynamo]

What accident did he have?

[45rpmsingle]

In the late 70s he left the music scene and took a job working on the docks. In 1981 he had a horrific accident involving a fork lift truck blades which smashed his feet and was in and out of hospital for the next 8 years . In fact it took until 1988 until he could walk again.

[kevthedynamo]

45rpmsingle: Thanks for the info. It's a shame he ended up on the docks. He couldn't have made much from his music career.

[45rpmSINGLES]

Steve said in an interview that he was ripped off financially by band manager Don Arden ( father of Sharon Osbourne ). He said that whilst the band was out touring abroad for months on time Don Arden was supposed to pay Steve`s tax bills from his share of the band`s money.Don Arden kept the money for himself and Steve went bankrupt losing everything.

[kevthedynamo]

Don Arden was a bit of a gangster. I bet Steve doesn't receive any royalties for his records either. Shame, because they are never off the radio.

[kevthedynamo]

I don't think his voice sounds all that bad. I have added it to my Playlists.

[upyerpipes]

Chipmonk. You have no soul. Today's stuff is rubbish.  Not everyone is perfect like you.

[jollywigs]

Yeah, what happened?

Could have been a great!

[jollywigs]

PS; Steve Ellis used to have a great voice...where in the hell did that go?

[45rpmsingle]

Steve Ellis was aged 18 when he recorded the original of this song. He was only 17 when he recorded Everlasting Love .

Did you expect a guy in his forties to still have the voice of a 17 year old !!!!!!!

[jollywigs]

Of course not, I'd expected he'd have a better voice. Steve Marriot...Steve Winwood...Chris Farlow...Eric Burden etc all kids with great voices when they started got even better with age better not worse. That's all.

[bigrexlowlife]

I just listening to Eric singing House of The Rising Sun 2007 live or at least I tried to . His voice was dreadful , I couldnt even call it singing , more gruff noises. Still each to his own taste. I also watched Steve Marriott live 1985 and he was also hoarsely shouting his classic songs .

And you think they improved with age !!

LOL

[jollywigs]

You're right of course....they were all of their time...pity!

[kevthedynamo]

I agree!,Is there a splinter Love Affair?. I went to see a band called The Love affair 20 years ago and they were crap. I'm sure Steve ellis wasn't in it.

[jollywigs]

Sad...this was a great song until they took the piss out of it. Love Affair? Not any more.

[RGordonR]

Keyboard player must be the worst ever. Truly awful.

[meinungers]

Songs like 'Everlasting Love', 'Bringing On Back The Good Times', 'A Day Without Love' and 'Rainbow Valley' have something 'everlasting' about them.

[ampsnbits]

Hi it plays fine for me I have it playing while I am writing this to you!! So it must be something with your PC or ISP ??? try clearing your cach, history & cookies Regards Mel

[upyerpipes]

It's playing now...brilliant, thanks.

[upyerpipes]

Why won't this video play now. What's happened?

[framusville]

Gawd bless ya for posting this.

[bjb8847656]

Steve Ellis has such a great voice and there are some great tracks in his catalogue - but there should have been so many more he had super talent and left the spotlight far too early. Thanks for this posting - there is a Rainbow Valley video from the 1960s on Youtube with what seems like the original line-up. YouTube is Great.
