Bloody lip synch!!! Cant the man sing any more?

@georgebur No one is saying that this is Live !! Thing is when a TV show wants you, they are the ones that say if you mime or not. If you say no then you don't do the show! We did several mimed TV shows, this is the finished product of one of them for all to see & enjoy. I will get around to putting more up & more of the Live gigs we did. But Please don't put us down for doing a Mimed TV show The Biggest Acts & artists in the world, All have to do Mime on TV every once in a while !!

As I remember,the band was first just "The Love Affair" then Steve Ellis's Love Affair, then Steve went solo and never to be heard of again in the charts.Did someones fame go to his head.Why not just stay as The Love Affair they were awesome for the time,we all new Steve was the singer he didn't have to put his name before the band after a couple of hits to emphisise the fact

@pete7356

If you only knew all the crap that Steve had to endure with several Bogus/Fake bands going out as "The Love Affair" that were really not very good at all! over the years. Then perhaps you would do the same? It was a joint Steve, Band and Management decision for the band to go out as Steve Ellis's Love Affair so that Audience's would know that they would be paying to see The Man, The One & Only Steve Ellis who's voice is on All of The Love Affairs hits Records of the 60's & 70's :O)

@ampsnbits the problems lies in the fact that most songs are known by the band.. and NOT the singer. when a band splits its the band name that takes on the song and NOT the singer. so... for a singer to be able to take the credit for a fabulous song such as everlasting love they HAVE to the avertise themselves as the singer and band!

@shellyann71 Hi Nice thought Butgo back in Music history circa 1969 and That the ONLY member of Love Affair to Sing/Play on the Recordings was Infact Steve Ellis. The Guitarist's were Big Jim Sulivan, Jimi Page, Bass Player was Herbie Flowers and the Drummer was Clem Cattini all session Players of the day. Tried to add some links but You Tube don't allow it. Just Google the names and see for yourself So don'y you think In fairness to Sreve Ellis HE IS The the Voice of Everlasting Love

My everlasting love for an everlasting song, which sounds as good as it did 40 years ago.

[MrKeithybabes]

if I remember rightly they didn't play the instruments on the original song.it was session players

[shellyann71]

@ampsnbits i agree, but what i meant was not everyone would know the name of the singer so would only associate the song with the band name . for steve to fairly get the recognition he deserves for this song he has to have the band name after his or a lot of people wont know its him.
