Colin Blunstone and Dave Stewart - What Becomes of the Broken Hearted (on TOTP2 1981)

There's already a version of this video on YouTube, but this one doesn't have the annoying box that pops up in the middle and covers half the screen. ;P

Limp and souless. Colin Blunstone was Great in the Zombies, but this is pale.

The weak arrangement doesn't help. Sorry

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. :)

This is the one an only guy to sing this song - fab voice and a great interpretation.The original (first) version Colin made way back when is even better - it's simply the best (Sorry Jimmy Ruffin, Westlife, Joe C, Paul Young, Boy George, Joan Osborne and all the others who made a go at this song!) Great to learn that Colin still is singing!!

[MoodyFennec]

This is the first version that Colin made (the second was in the early 1990s).

I should have not said that about Moody. I jumped to that conclusion because it seems that most ppl won't give out the details of their uploads.

[MoodyFennec]

No worries! :)

Personally....and thats what music is all about.....I am 50 yeaqrs old. I feel Colin Blunstone helped rescue this version of a song that was already alive and kicking. Dave Stewart put a 1981 slaNT ON IT WITHOUT REAlising how dated it nwould sound just a few years later. Colin, however, could sing this at any time in any era....love the guy

@psychodamned I have to agree

[sunshine53andsong]

To me there is no version to touch this even though it has been covered beautifully by many and of course Jimmy Ruffin. His stage performance of it though, was truly the best.

@christof669 Thank you so much for clearing this up. It has always bugged me for years. Cheers

@EddieAlda This of course is NOT the same Dave Stewart as the Eurythmics. This Dave Stewart is the great keyboard player and composer featured in the above video! Dave Eurythmics Stewart is of course a guitarist. If you want to check out this Dave Stewart's work, try his and barbara's albums on Burning Shed, and the works of Egg, Hatfield and the North, National Health, Bill Bruford etc etc...

[EddieAlda]

@christof669 Dave Stewart - the same Dave Stewart who was part of the Eurythmics? If so, he was married to Sibonne from Shakespeare's Sister for awhile so your theory about him still living with Barbara Gaskin aren't fully accurate.

[christof669]

@PaulMacD58 No probs....on and off have followed Dave Stewart's stuff..and Colin Blunstone's voice still sounds as gorgeous as ever....btw, Dave still lives with his musical partner and missus Barbara Gaskin...

[PaulMacD58]

@christof669 I stand corrected. Thank you. I bet she's still lovely now. Good to know that a lovely track like that is still attracting attention...

@PaulMacD58 'Fraid not matey...that lady is Amanda Parsons backing vocalist of "The Northettes" who used to sing with Hatfield and The North, and who sang BVs on the single
