What a voice! And song. I remember going out and buying this song in 1975. One of the first artists that ever got me into reggae music. Thank you John
the guy with the big multicolored kipper tie and blue shirt, looks like he's stumbled in from a darts tournament is probably only about 30, he's outta place but having a good time
This song blazed the trail on UK Chart in the summer of '75. It was on my transistor radio as I watched the Final of the first Cricket World Cup in London, England that was won the West Indies. In those days you could even bring your alcoholic drinks with you to the Oval, very civilised chaps !!
@diejunifrau so very ture i your hit by one of cupids stray arrows..then your love goes to waste. unrequited love is the worst, makes you wish you had no heart.
Notice when the audience is clapping the clap on the downbeat. This is not a racist statement, but this is the typical white clap, they clap on the downbeat, black people and espicially with reggae music, you clap on the offbeat. The offbeat is what the guitar is strumming, while the downbeat is what the kick or bass drum is playing
At 53 yrs old, I was having 'anterior teeth chipping' repairs at the dentist, and while Ms. Campbell (nice, young lady dentist) was doing her stuff, Johnny came on the radio, singing this song. Hey! I haven't heard this in y-e-e-e-e-a-a-a-rs... I knew there was a positive side to anterior teeth chipping..
I play gtr and sing in a duo, in a little bar in Glasgow, Scotland - this great old song will go-down an absolute treat!
This song was No.1 in the UK when I was having emotional problems at school. The combination of Johnny's beautiful voice and the gentle reggae-pop arrangement helped me through that period.
I wonder what band was backing him on this one....... nice chops n bass....drums bad too..
