[altosequannais]

@lakeladymel Not at all, sorry!!

[MrTomaszmaz]

when I was 5 y.o. I saw The Rubettes on TV and I fell in love with the band. At age 14 I went to the market to buy a vinyl of The Rubettes, couldn't find any .

42 years later I found them on U tube, I was glued to the monitor, like I was 5 again, but this time I was crying from happines. Thank you.

[TDSouledOut1]

May 1974. Walked round Llandudno on holiday playing this gem constantly on my Philips portable cassette tape player. I annoyed the hell out of the paying guests at the Dunoon Hotel. Oh to be 13 again!

[majuryni]

My wife & i....This is our song....Married 34 yrs last June,

.

[ChittaundDixi]

World format. Simply class!!!!!

[MsTenseiga]

[janina7240]

LOVELY!!



[SteveBZ69]

I can't believe the fact people keep going on about the lead vocal on this song. 30 plus years on Alan Williams is still gigging, singing and playing guitar at 63!!! Yes 63. Well done Alan and all the guys I say, I hope I'm still hitting them notes in 10 years time.

[altosequannais]

@SteveBZ69

Yes almost 63 on next December, the 22nd we don't forget!!!

[Schlagerschnulzen]

Gabs denn schöneres Gekreische in der Geschichte der Musik?????

[karenyoung1964]

I Cant believe i loived this song once and i was only 10 at the time lol

[toplass63]

i used to fancy the lead singer, lol

[Mrbyrossy]

Direct translation by google: Portuguese (Brazil) for English;

How rewarding to this point in my life to enjoy video or hot romantic songs from an era that will never return. The Rubettes, through their songs have participated in many loves that were born there and still live. I'm a fan of this group is an example. I am amazed to see members in action. Congratulations to "The Rubettes".

[thra5herxb12s]

This is the version I had on 45. I still think those hats look stupid...

[forestgumpaed]

did my head in at the time..still does ironically.

[Loupmojo]

Dear gods, I fancied the lead singer so much back then.... And well remember screeching this into my hairbrush. Happy days :o)

[luxyaltz219]

Alan Willians voice on this version is really good and a decent take but he couldn't hit the high falsetto notes in the same way as Paul Da Vinci on the original hit version , which is quite understandable .

[thetrewsfan]

Funny, how these guyes just look the same today. Well, nut really, but... nearly :-P

It's strange to think about having talked to them about where to buy summer-versions (as I had one) of their caps. They where famous two times before i've been born! (and I'm 16 now) but still - they are just streight and friendly, not like today's stars...

[anyone173]

oh if only we could rewind time..... everything was so chilled back then .shame

[moore66bonds75]

70s was great and the music still is, love it !!!

[kennetharthur1953]

1970's music was and still is one of the best erras of my life so far.

[22nedzer]

what a great year for musical talent!

[MrJimt1967]

tony thorpe,wot a voice

[bo1911]

YES , still good music :)

[jonas4447]

einfach nur schön!

[josefmb27]

¡¡¡¡¡¡que recuerdos me trae esta cancion es alucinante!!!!!!!!

[hanaippon]

FIRST CLASS MUSIC!:)))

*****

[Writeowl]

For most guys to hit those notes would involve doing something extremely painful!!

[Poopingbotham]

There's a youth club type-of-place (except it's for old people) opposite to where I live, and when the bowls team assemble, wearing their white caps, they always remind me of the Rubettes!

[MissDavilexis]

schade das ich nicht in dieser Zeit damals aufgewachsen bin.bin geb 84 und liebe viele lieder aus den 60 und 70 aber auch aus den 50 und 80. die lieder heute sind immer so schnell abgelutscht aber das sind hammer klassiker.

[zeproo]

I was only 3yo when this song appeared but its soo great

[charroelton]

This version has the Alan Williams voice. I don't know if it ever was released as a single but the original single release has the voice of Paul Da Vinci. I love this version as much as the original.

[altosequannais]

@charroelton

There was a SBL Alan Williams' version released as well!

[charroelton]

@altosequannais What is a SBL ? Was it released as a vinyl single ? They've made a mistake in the dutch subitle in this video. They say Alan is playbacking Paul Da Vinci's voice. NO, Alan is playbacking his OWN voice.

[altosequannais]

@charroelton Yes quite there was a new version of SBL (Sugar Baby Love) released. You can find some more explainations amongst the very first comments left on here.

[TWENTIETHCENTURYBABY]

@charroelton Didn't know it was Alan singing. Not only do you get to watch great videos on Youtube, but you get to learn things too.

[markpompom]

rubetttes whey hey, still popular now xx

[BiebersGyal]

like if you are listening to this in 2011 :P

[trademark62]

SWEET SONG!!!

[pq9r6v3h2x]

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!! XXXX

[PrincessAndrea031261]

[alsisam]

QUE RECUERDOS TAN DULCES......

[PMInventionen]

Urlaub wär jetzt schön!

[lajmh]

Yes, I was around in 1974...mind you I was only 12. The high falsettos is very Frankie Vallish.

[badule1000]

ah.. good old time and good old song for any time...

[elisabeth7671]

ce groupe est formidable ... ils ont de très belle chanson ... ils ont une voix en or ...!!!... personnellement pour moi ...

[tessey119]

if only white berets took off....

[Manuel53452]

[killineybaystarlight]

Sugar Baby Love, just in your head if you were around in the 70's, Great song :))

[DaveWollenberg]

The Rubettes hit #37 in Billboard, 8-31-74. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[pq9r6v3h2x]

[pq9r6v3h2x]

Great!! song Love the Rubettes xx

[francie18]

love this song!

[KStarDid]

The greatest of all bands !

[DrRoy1]

Wait a second - 1974? So they were having 50s throwbacks in the 70s like they've had 80s throwbacks this decade? That... actually makes sense.

[maz3705]

MUSIC FOR FUN NOT JUST PROFIT

[varania7]

i am 53..my soulmate died along time ago we loved this song...beachtime favourite.

[ancientraver19881989]

one of the greatest pop records of all time

[indiodeoro]

The guy on glasses looks like the lead singer of Devo.

[altosequannais]

@indiodeoro The guy you are talking of is named Tony Thorpe and the video was taken in 1974.

[Franciney2011]

@indiodeoro

Good song I remember my 8 years old I heard this song on the radio. Enjoy life my friends 'cause it passes too fast.

[slickcrew]

@indiodeoro I thought he looked more like a young Quentin Tarantino ;)

[shamtoro]

sounds great! : )

[LorraineDonelly]

I am 52 this year and I remember this well!! And Alan did sing the high notes xx

[bigrider2806]

i lived through this , what a bunch of faggots !

[1cheshirecat]

one of the greatest pop songs ever written

[melodiesdemartine]

pour mon frére et la légéreté des quinze ans, pantalon patte d'eph. et col de chemise. j'allais oublier la casquette! toujours joyeux d'entendre cette chanson d'entendre.

[rockandroll63]

When music was fun and not the image and media-driven bollocks it is now.

[belindachocolat]

alala !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! quel plaisir de les écouter ! quelle nostalgie !!!! et quel talent surtout, talent difficile à retrouver de nos jours malheureusement !!!! thank you very much !!!!! I love this video and the music is...... ouf !!!! no comment !!!!! :-) :-) :-) I can listen it hours and hours !!!!

[spike59124]

[MrTonymcmahon]

God I love this song.

[SteadyLin]

i luv their music sooooo much

Steady from Taiwan ;)

[999YORK]

Can someone tell me if this singer is capable of hitting the same notes as the original singer Paul Prewer (Da Vinci)?

[altosequannais]

@999YORK

Sure he can as this version was re recorded before the show at Chrismas 1974 at the English TV Channel. The Union Rules were very requiring.

[maz3705]

@999YORK YES AND STILL CAN

[AmickeysTube]

Never gets old, Really one of my favorite songs ever !!! TAKE MY ADVICE !!! What a glorious decade !!!

[Duinroosje]

The drummer is so handsome!

[buddyeagle]

@Duinroosje i love his lightining tie.

[Gaidhealtachd]

Reminds me of School disco, 2nd year at Dalziel High in Motherwell. Platform shoes and skinner jeans, cheesecloth shirts - Oh Dear !

[missfreshstart]

was little but I remember that the singer was gorgeous!

[WFIA08]

Alan was my half brother. We went to the same school together for years & were best mates. Unfortunately after the death of of our Nana (Julie), he turned to smack. We sat outside kwiksave for hours just shooting up. I got off the stuff but he kept on going for it. Lost contact with him these days, if you see this Alan its Bacca. Miss ya lad xxx

[mrsdaipunk]

this song is a classic thanks for putting it on its fab !!!!

[ponnef]

Sugar Baby love:#1:1st June 1974:absolutely gorgeous

[ernestpresley]

great sound for the best people

[SweetSheep]

I remember watching this on Top of the Pops!

[fighTogether4freedom]

I love the Beatles and also the Rubettes,they are both great,but you cannot compare them,it´s totally different how they wrote and sang about and their style also I think...

Great song <3

[SioPopu]

DO THEY REALLY SING ON HIS RECORDS ??????

[elvira2262]

i was young, great time for music

[joannalexus1]

Fantastic memories of growing up ...I just put them on my i pod!

[yingkbc]

The Rubettes were as good, if not better than, The Beatles & this song is truly outstanding. True talent!....

[xXHeisseSchnitteXx]

[mcfrdmn]

Excellent performance

[1cheshirecat]

pop music doesn't get much better than this...

[AlyssaIHailey1988]

Hi @ all,

that's an interesting version of "Sugar Baby Love". This seems a lil' bit slower and different than the published version.

So..maybe their recording this song new and take it for TOTP. Could it be that Alan sings the high voice in this type of song??????????????????????????­???? I wonder why he does 'nt that all over the years... He still very good for his age.

Thanks for answers

Regards

:-*

[altosequannais]

@AlyssaIHailey1988

Alan is still singing SBL at all gigs he performs.

[TheMazocal]

this song is in the opening of a film and i cant remember what one does ANYONE KNOW?

[Mr]

this is stil good fun music to listen too and feel young again, I like
