Sherbet - Summer Love (1975)

[SeaBassVamp]

Sherbert Sparkle & Sizzle Seventies Songs.

Summer Love.

[MrGoblin60]

Since everyone else is getting nostalgic......my first school dance and actually getting girl's phone numbers, Laurie Zammit's old FC Holden, Moana Beach, my first clumsy but secret date, finding a pack of Old Port Colts that I didn't share with the other fellas, the Air Cadets, the chick next door who wore that immodest bikini (now that wasn't fair!), my first transistor radio, Lillie and Marsh, fish 'n chips on Friday nights....and so on and so forth...

[143iloveeyouu]

I was 11 but was unable to hear this sound and song what can one say did see the band at Festival Hall in Bris ( no longer there and met a lovely young man ,who I never saw again ) life was so lovely and beautiful then in 1977

[888jsn]

bondi beach, zinc cream, hot chips, midge farrelly surfboards, best mates, hawaiian shirts, eastern suburbs roosters, dennis lillee, jeff thomson, megatron trucks, powell perralta wheels, casey kasem's americaaaaaaaan top 40, hoyts george st, apricot spurt bubble gum, getting the cuts.....oh man what else?

[mkdv8]

I was also 12 when this was a hit.Countdown with Molly Meldrum...hey hey its Saturday.....cricket,Mr whippy icecream..........jumping into the pool that was like a hot bath...Sherbet ,dragon or skyhooks on my record player....meat pies, scallops and chips.........my ....Those really were the DAYS !! Australia.....There is no better place FULLSTOP!

[firstbornjordan]

This is my era. Although the clothes and dancing were very different to today's standards, the artists were what they were - embedded in the culture. What a fabulous arrangement of various instruments and brilliant harmony from Darryl, excellent, and yes, a hit cover - why not??

[TheSakana123]

It wasn't Cavalry it was Calvary..no video I know of and yes I was a screamer back then..not a grandparent yet so my kids don't give a crap or understand the 70's aussie music lol..bring it back!!

[bondsee]

lol all those kids screaming are proberly grandparents now like me !!!

bring back the 70's "GO SHERBERT"

[kellylee66]

omg I remember seeing these guys in concert in orange nsw when i was 13

[LiteracyLabyrinth2]

Yeah saw this on Countdown and was excited that they had such a cool song...

[Countrygent100]

You're hearing it first here, folks. Soon... very soon... some up and coming band or artist is going to cover this song and get a MEGA hit!!! Friday 6th May, 2011.

[SuperJess007]

they played this on abc's paper giants! 

[DottyG29]

I was 12 years old when this was a hit. The world was a beautiful place to be back then. Countdown on the telly Saturday and Sunday arvo, then Doctor Who. Playing cricket in the street, with the neighbours kids. Riding our bikes wherever we wanted to go.

[laurel614]

@DottyG29 Home when the street lights came on,saving our pocket money to buy these albums.We had it good.:)

[MrPerchjay]

I remember watching these guys on stage at StKilda's home ground in Moorabbin singing this song, FANTASTIC......Then Mark bloody Holden flew overhead in a chopper and dropped flowers on us...It was all downhill from there!!!

[zatopecara]

My favourite Sherbet song...along with Cassandra... and Can You Feel It Baby... and Only One You, Life, Howzat, You've Got The Gun, Slipstream, Child's Play, Free The People.... well ONE of their best anyway! Love the film clip. Really captures 1975 - the satin outfits, the screaming girls, the hair... and I love Alan's mini-drum solo. Fabulous. 5 STARS!!!!

[terrie0911]

They were sexy young men, when I was a sexy young gal. Now we are old and still sexy - I hope!

[immortalpop]

Love that scarf someone in the crowd is holding up: "Daryl u spunk"

For those who don't know, calling someone a spunk was like saying they were hot.

[rmuszynski]

I'm a yank that taught school in queensland in from 75 to 77. had this on vinly and gave it to a local aussie musician for his birthday...david carter (and the trailer park rangers)....he remembered the band with fondness....wish I neve had left australia

[trampismat]

This has to be the best footage of Sherbet on YouTube!! I am having a second teenager rush and am watching all the Sherbet vidz on YT. I always had a spot for Sherbet, like I thought they had some good songs and the musicianship was high but I was enticed by the other side (Shirl & the boys) and therefore never bought any Sherbet LP/Singles ... It's so sad about Harvey James and it's like the '70's all over again ... it's bittersweet, that's what it is ... on to the next vid ....

[NMRoos75]

RIP Harvey James

[450hp202turbo]

oh yeah these were good old days. fast cars easy wemon. great music and plenty of drugs

[kl3691]

I had a HUGE crush on Garth Porter in those days...Id love to see the song 'Matter of Time' up here coz he sang it so you get to see more of him

[johnpap1970]

has anyone got the song WILD LOVE ???

[Aqene1000]

Aaah the early-mid 70s....Whitlam era & great Aussie rock.

[gupsnot]

NZOZ, I think Sherbet used to do a song called 'Motor of Love'. Do you remember it, or have a video of it? I'd love to hear it again.

[nzoz1975]

@gupsnot i don't think i have heard it... will check!

[gupsnot]

@nzoz1975

Spent the last day asking old mates, and one of them said that it was the 'b' side to'Howzat'. Seeing as neither of us has it anymore, I can't say that's gospel though. If you find anymore info let me know, thanks.

[poltome]

@gupsnot It was on the B side of Howzat.

[gupsnot]

@poltome ok, now I'm upset because I don't have that single anymore.  I can't remember it being on an album.

[2001chip]

@gupsnot It is on You Tube as part of a concert clip combined with "Gimme Love". It was uploaded yesterday, just do a search for it.

[gupsnot]

@2001chip Thanks man! Just went and had a listen. Still as good as the first time I heard it. Plus the live version has a bit more oomph to it. Thanks again.

[dostieworld]

@gupsnot you're not thinking of Dire Straits "Water of Love" are you? lol ....Seriously, Motor Of Love was apparently the b-side to Howzat - it's on YouTube

[gupsnot]

@dostieworld Since my last posting here 3 months ago, I had the problem solved for me. My wife had the single tucked away in our junk room. So, it's all good!

[Aussie2327]

@gupsnot They did have that song. It was the "B" side of Howzat.

[chameleonfrog1]

My sister was born in 1960 & they were her favourite band. Years later when my mum & I visited her in a shared house full of uni students, my sister would not let my mum breathe the word Sherbet. OMG, how some people are ruled by others & can't stay true to their soul. I don't want anything to do with people who only want to know you if you are a sheep.

[melissatafe]

never thought I'd say this.......Daryl is sexy !!! OMG !!! I had no idea!

[lianjie1963]

My older sisters both loved Sherbet. One sister was 'in love' with Clive Shakespeare, the other with Tony Mitchell. They had posters on the wall etc, so funny to look back on. I never noticed it at the time - but this is actually a lovely song! Lots of happy memories of sunshine and freedom.

[GoTheGreens20]

Love This Song,

Sherbet All The Way

[cqsteve1]

Alan the drummer was really pounding the skins there. The funny thing about Sherbert was that they were perceived as a "Chick" group, but really could knock out some good numbers. As an Aussie bloke it wasn't cool to admit you like their music.

[grantkase]

@cqsteve1 how true i saw them at festival theatre they were great but i pretended i didnt like them

[himaddriH]

Daryl is the cutest I've ever seen!!!

[SuperAroaro]

'..All my troubles good-bye/ Walkin' with my heart in the sky' - the musical phrase under these lyrics is a direct quote from the Beatles' "Mean Mr Mustard": '..takes him out to look at the Queen/ Only place that he's ever been..'

Otherwise it was - as is - a great summery Oz pop classic GO SHERBET!!

[The1Antonio1]

Life is cruel and humans infected with the disease of aging and deterioration. Now in 2010 they all look like old wrinkled prunes.

[jimlykas]

Hated them then, and can't stand em now.

[jimmythehand1]

Brilliant stuff. I am looking for "Old Sid" by Sherbert.

Have you got it anywhere and could you post it if you do?

Cheers

[OneHectare]

@jimmythehand1 has anybody seen Old Sid around?

[Morganfrench01]

The guy with the sax kinda looks like Peter Frampton...

[stinkalloy]

I wunda why Sherbet wuz wun-hit wundaz? Mebbe cuz them wuz shitt? (But Howzat wuz grait!)

[erosromantic]

They were great in concert too - even as a guy this music was gold - takes me straight back

[woodylove85]

i love this song too my fave was garth

[rightwally]

I saw Daryl singing a couple of weeks ago.

He still sings these Sherbet songs, and sounds just the same.

These are classics!!

[Krazzy12U]

In 1975 Summer Love WAS like no other love...and hasn't been since!

[glebe3047]

I woud love to hear a modern day remix of summer love

[glebe3047]

I dont have the time. But could someone start a petition on face book to get Sherbert to reform. I am over waiting for it to happen. Do it now FFS

[glebe3047]

I am a 46 yo Aust male. To this day everytime I hear this song I get goose bumps. I love this song so much I could swear. Oh to see Dazza sing this in concert.

[davidg5969]

When I was 14 i went to visit my Aunt in Melbourne and she gave me $20 to go down town and spend it. I went into Allens and bought 3 albums...the first albums i ever bought... Elton John's Captain Fantastic... Skyhooks Ego is not a dirty word ... and... Sherbet's greatest hits. and i had change to go to the footy after ... Carlton v Richmond (Carlton won by a point)... what does $20 get you now... I can understand why so many people blog Ryan's youtube site and wish they had a time machine.

[elle4tanka]

awesome dazza

[96marzie]

hehe, nice waistcoat...........

[anitashelby]

Ahhhh Nothing Like A Summer Love ! Fantastic Aussie Band ! 5*s....:))

[sunsets1977]

[mozart2727]

mm daryl's bare chest!!! i didn't really notice that when i was 12... do now yumm yumm hot stuff

[hoppa1979]

I saw Sherbet at the Countdown concert a couple of years ago.

They were one of the stand-out acts - they still have what it takes.

[SargenSmee]

Thanks for posting this video. Brought back many happy memories. I loved Sherbet when i was younger & still enjoy the music now.

[meepala]

isn't it time for a remake? a smart boy band should do it.

[mvictory4ever04]

@meepala agreed :D

[sixtiesboy1]

the same concert footage was used for an acdc clip. i think you'll find that it was an organised audience for the clips

[grumpy1069]

Why do people of today have to make comments relating to a persons so called sexuality...when thay were not even around at that time..how sad!!!! Sherbert were a great band for their time so apprecaite what they they did, and not make disparaging remarks..great band and very much appreciated......

[ieatpeas24]

Garth looks so much like a homo

[mrsgritoli1]

its called glam rock.......you flog

[SommieReturns]

I wish I was in this concert

[mjw191]

Looooove this song...!!!

[jrt2009]

70's were awesome

[tjfaust]

Linked it to Twitter as EVERY One was complaining about the cold Melbourne day today! Thanks Daz!

[carpetcle]

There were more girls at their concerts than blokes.... We followed them everwhere they played in Melbourne...the beautiful Australian girls were all ours.... Jordy Boys Rock

[aliciastef]

[AussieSong]

[Willhayd]

Oh Darryl...HOWZAT! Love that satin suit..not much to the imagination! Like the banner said "Darryl U Spunk"!

[AUSSSIEMOZZIE]

Thanks vm Matey !!!! loved the music of 1975 takkkkkkkkkkkkkkeee me back please<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< LOL

you made an old age woman feel terrific again :) rockin Friday nights hugssxxxx

[AussieSong]

THEY DON'T SINGEM LIKE THEY USE TO

[zatopecara]

Sherbet at their peak. Fantastic. I prefer Summer Love to Howzat.

[wozza2341]

Great song, but atrocious hair.

[marlomagic]

I used to love Tony Mitchell best.Still looks good now (Countdown tour footage).Does anyone know who is married, divorced and what kids they all have including Clive of course. Australian music is the best by far!

[rufus102]

Love this song - I was only 7 when it came out, but somehow, I remember it very well.

NZOZ - do you have a film clip of Cavalry by Sherbet? Not sure if there even was one, although I remember something about a ship? Maybe...

I thanked you before, but big props for posting these old classics! I don't live down under any more, so even less chance to see/hear them than normal.

[nzoz1975]

Hi Rufus, thank you for the kind words. I'll have a look for Cavarlry for you!

[miavita1]

@rufus102 surely someone has it please please

[alwayscrins]

i love this song

[chemistrywascrazy]

What a classic Aussie killer song!!!  No one could do it like Sherbet...Still love em after all these years...and always will...Daryl is still killing them live all over the country. Seeing him perform is an incredible experience....still.

[meepala]

I was really into Summer Rolls that year too.

[222ferrett222]

nothing like howzat

[nzoz1975]

you have to understand the youth of australia in 1975... there was a revolution and Sherbet were leading it. it was the "summer love" movement and many kids believed it... then winter came around and it was all over...

Next was the 'howzat' movement.

[Dennis4caity]

this song aint bad

[bethsheeba3]

Go Daryl...almost forgotten this.

[straddie1963]

takes me back to a time when aus rock realy was number one without the yank or pom bullshit, be proud of what we have here it realy is good ,there is a lot shit that came out of the us and england

[frankandgang]

would you want to shack up with them how they look at this present time or go back in a time machine to how they looked then. Jimmy barnes sure looks different to now in choir girl real baby face

[ohsogorjus1]

They just don't make music like this anymore huh? These guys were rock gods of Aussie music ... ahh the memories! Hubba hubba ...

[69malsurfer]

ahh yes take me back to those days when aussie rock ruled the airwaves instead of this untalented manufactured crap that gets played now.remember when you could see a pretty popular band at your local and it didnt cost you an arm and a leg.

[timcarr62]

@69malsurfer .. yeah i lived thru the 70's and it was back when bands were real bands .. everyone had to cut there teeth on the pub scene .. Great Band and Great Lyrics .. go Sherbert .. gone but never forgotten

[69malsurfer]

@timcarr62 Cheers to that mate!

[francisanosissi]

id like to see "matter of time".anyone got it

[tis1me]

I look at them in a completely different way now i'm in my 40's.....they all look incredibly hot to this old hornbag!

[babybear62]

I know what you mean girlfriend !!!

This old hornbag here wouldnt mind shacking up with them either. lol.

[pearlypops1968]

i saw daz last year @ wollongong ent cent... he's changed a bit but we all have... still a great voice... looks hot with a gray buzz cut!!

[DIONYSES000AD]

*sigh* wasnt Australia a wonderful place when the USA or anyone else for that matter, had no idea it even existed? .... *sigh*

[chookfeather]

Alan Sandow God that man was my teenage fantasy

[sherbs77]

Great song and band

[sherbetgirl]

Nzoz,

Have you anymore Sherbet for the new fans just tuning in to Australia's finest?? :)

[nzoz1975]

I got heaps of Sherbet videos... I'm still waiting on videos that band did when they were the Sherbs.

[sherbetgirl]

Have you? Great stuff!~ Do you have Freedom that you can upload?

BTW, thanks for everything so far you have posted. I love it all.

[boobootown]

did they make a video for time?

[bootzen33]

I used to have an old Slipstream T-shirt from the original tour. Darryl gave it to me. So good to be able to hear what got my heart started back in Australia.

[anne3362]

these are great - hope you can get some more videos. Heard of the band while living in Ireland. Great stuff thanks

[gupsnot]

Did they do any clips when they were known as 'Highway' ?

[gtrgyro]

Why Don't Bands Play Like This Anymore??

[sherbetgirl]

gtrgyro,

Sherbet was one of the biggest bands in Oz in the seventies. They toured briefly in the US under the name Highway. My fav band of all time!!

[johann99]

There are heaps of generic pop rock bands around.

[boobootown]

coz new bands are all gay...lol

[cutejello]

Love this song my favorite

[Satori1800]

My favorite song of all time is 'No Turning Back' Can't find it here in China :(

Thanks for great video:)

[gtrgyro]

Where's China Been On You Tube??

[Satori1800]

GTRGYRO: Hi. I don't know. I'm a peasant and not privy to that information. If I find out, I will let you know.

God Bless You & Yours:)

[zatopecara]

Easily one of the best songs from the 70's, and the best Sherbet clip - right at their peak! Love the drumming!

[leneghp]

thanks for the song!

[fcukinhoe]

there was nothing better than sherbet

[koryu3]

who he is?

quien es este greñudo

bueno quien lo puso en youtube

quitenlo.............

[nwjh1957]

Assuming that 'he' is the lead singer, it's Darryl Braithwaite.

[jaynie888]

watching this video seam like yesterday

[pseudorealist]

Daryl is awesome!!

[sherbetgirl]

Except for Howzat that was penned by Tony Mitchell and Garth Porter.

[kryckeestrooff]

Markflem I rember that! Molly even refused to play it once, saying he was sick of playing it. Still this is a good example of why Clive Shakespear shouldn't have left the group, all the best songs were penned by him and Porter, their music lost something afterwards, when just reaching their peak too, very sad.

[markflem]

This song was No 1 on Countdown forever! Alright maybe about 12 weeks.

[meepala]

Longer than that I think. Fernando broke the record at nearly 6 months and this one was close.

[paulined222]

Thanks for posting - that brings back great memories.

[stagman21]

wondeful. gr8 2 c again.
