I'm a 1991 baby, and can I just say, this is REAL music. I'm entirely jealous of those of you who lived through the Golden Age of British and American pop-culture. This track is just one of many that easily represents how much better music was than it is right now.
I love the 70s and the 80s, and nothing comes even close today to comparing. Thank you for this quality music. I'm sure this will be an unpopular opinion with my own generation, but I don't mind-- y'all truly did have better music. Cheers!
Defiant_Heart 1984 Born in 91 myself and love the 80s music.
A both of that year is very rare for the music world and is like a magical power that all singer and song is ahead of talent and times.👍🙏
I lived through it. great times
I am 50 baby. great music in the 60 70 80 time
I loved the 80s music ❤
I love the backup singers.
Fabulous wealthy tarts I think thair stage name was
@@garethbowen9894 Correct - Kim Lesley and Maz Roberts.
Are thay still singing
@@garethbowen9894 It appears that Rev Kim Lesley is still singing - czcams.com/video/Qe6KqCzq7Yw/video.html . According to Wikipedia Maz Roberts married Pino Palladino in 1992. His webpage only states that their three children are involved in the music business.
i love they signing too, they sound like chearleaders
massive memory for me .... 19 march 1983 my dad died ...........37 years old.... these songs are huge in my memory ... quality tunes
FOR THE LOVE OF THE COMMON PEOPLE …..FOR THERESA MY SWEETIE PIE . LOVE YOU GIRL ❤️🌻🌻❤️ ALWAYS YOUR LOVING RONNIE ❤️🤗🤗❤️
Everyone knows how great Paul sounds but the backing singers lift his voice perfectly
The Fabulous Wealthy Tarts. Also backing singers for Squeeze before Paul.. Check out Squeeze: Cool for Cats
As a 28 year old, I wish I could use some time turner to go back and experience this performance live. 😭😭😭
I love love this song so much 😍😍😍 and I also love Paul Young, he seems to be such a sweet man. 🤗
Amazing, takes me back to being a little kid in the eighties. Makes me think of my lovely mum. 🤗
Great memories! 80's music, the best!
Smiles from the heart of a family man, mama's goin to love.. as much as she can, & she can...daddy's goin to buy you a dream to cling to...living on a dream ain't easy...faith is the new foundation, but don't forget to pray. 💙
I bought this record when it came out because of the backup singers. They are sensational. Paul does a great job but I would love to hear those girls cut loose. When I play it I listen to them more than him. Great work ladies.
I agree the song certainly wouldn’t be the same without them
Might I recommend that you seek out The Piranhas performance of 'Zambesi' on Top of the Pops. It is available on this website. They provided backing vocals for that record also. I hope this is of interest.
@@Creighton-Jones Thank you very much Mr Creighton-Jones. I have watched that three times already and will keep it in my file. My best regards to you.
Paul was they best of they 80s love it fab
Look to the song. Written as a folk song in 1967. It was performed brilliantly.
The second half of 1983 into 1984 had the best of all top of the pops sets. The lighting is really good and there is so much of it. The whole performance is so memorable. I remember this when it was first broadcast and then I would have been seven.
I completely agree
The post 70s era of TOTP produced by the onomatopoeic Michael Hurll was utterly dreadful, with its fake "party" atmosphere of professional audience members with their party hats, balloons and party horns, like the worst Christmas party ever. He ruined several potentially classic performances.
The 70s, with its natural, often sullen audience, seemed relatively authentic. 80s TOTP, like the era itself, was utterly fake. The only highlight was occasional presenter John Peel relentlessly taking the piss out of it.
Love this video and Paul Young a VeryTalented performer singer all-around good guy From England ❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️
1983 was the year of paul young, undoubtedly
And still!!! Check on his latest tours...2019 ❤😎🎤
yep. And Culture club, duran duran, etc.
and Marilyn
The common people have the strongest foundation absolutely beautiful song
Every performance of Paul's is perfect and...as a woman I love his almond-shaped eyes so much (not only). Great artist!
Couldn't agree more but that's simply because he's not actually singing
@@valeyrossie4497
So what? Playback or alive, nothing changes, he was and is a true singer!👋
AWWWSME TUNE..YAH THE TWO GIRL BACK UP SINGERS ARE AWWWSEME..THIS IS THE ONLY SHOW WHERE EVERYTHING IS LIP SYNCED🎵🎶✌👌👍
With respect, there are quite a few "pop shows" from many countries (esp in Europe), where lip syncing was "performed" - it was mainly for the "promotion" of singles though. However, some bands refused to lip sync and would perform a "live" version. Also, some artists would sing live to a backing track and so did not need band members on stage.
Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk
From a hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do, hmmm?
Tears from your little sister
Crying because she doesn't have
A dress without a patch
For the party to go
But you know she'll get by
'Cause she's living in
The love of the common people
Smiles from the heart
Of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you
A dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you
Just as much as she can
And she can
It's a good thing
You don't have a bus fare
It would fall through the hole
In your pocket and you'd lose it
In the snow on the ground
You got to walk into town
To find a job
Tryin' to keep your hands warm
When the hole in your shoe
Let the snow come through
And chill you to the bone
Somehow you'd better go home
Where it's warm
Where…
Never tired of listening to this ❤
good old 80s now 2015 and im still playing them whooooooooo
Love of the Common People PeoplePaul Young
So nice song,Thank you my dear friend.Happy day to you.
Ok
Time is slower in the south seas..and as a 90's child in the south pacific,this is the music I grew up listening to on the national broadcaster..riding along with mum and dad in our "old bomb" Nissan..
Top quality tune!! Used to love the girls routines takes me right back to the 80s happy days ! Paul young a legend
Listening in August 2024❤
Love this video & song ❤️🥰❤️😘❤️ Theresa & Ronnie ❤️🥰❤️😘❤️ Love to all ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
Bring back Top of the Pops
Chris Hall second that
Well the music today is not in no way shape or form as good or meaning full as the 60s 70s 80s . i do miss watching this on a saturday night
Get where you are coming from but there would be a major ingredient missing.
The pure brilliance of the 60s 70s and 80s.
A working class hero.
Listening to in Febuary 2024❤
Πραγματικά αξέχαστη η δεκαετία του '80 δυστυχώς δεν γράφονται τόσο όμορφα τραγούδια.
Still relevant to this day
Masterpiece
Absolutely amazing! Incredibly warm, charming and beautiful!!!
Einer jener Songs, die kurz vor meiner NVA-Eiszeit bei und in mir ankamen - später dann in meinem Recorder und Walkman liefen - neben meiner Nr. 1 "Come Back and Stay" ist auch dieser Song hier Klasse. Der Klang-Teppich der 1980er Jahre war prägend und schwingt in mir...
Happy days with family at Christmas 🎄 wish they were still here 🥲 making memories without even realising it at the time!
You all enjoy your happy times with your family while you can guys❤️
A great song
oh i loved the fabulous wealthy tarts!
JUST AMAZING BY...AN AMAZING SINGER!!!!
Τί ωραίο!!! Όμορφες αναμνήσεις, από τα μαθητικα μας χρόνια.❤

Paul Young Love of the Common People People
Maravilha sua apresentação e suas músicas são lindas parabéns
About when the 80s REALLY started to be 80s and got its stride
i honestly think this is one of the nicest songs and lyrics i know, and, i'm a metalhead so i normally woud never say that from other styles of music... :) great song, great voice
I totally agree lovely song 🎵 will always mean so much to me 🙂
@@laydijayne8963 wow 7 yrs later 🤣 cool. And im still a metalhead 😉
@@screaminsilence81 never noticed it was 7 yrs ago 🙄😂
@@laydijayne8963 dont worry i still love the song haha
I was a bit of a metalhead when this song first came out, so I didn't dare tell my metalhead friends that I liked it so much!
*Nine* years later!
A very good memory of mine at that time. A treasure to remember.. 👍
Probably the best commercial
for the legendary Simmons electronic drums
I had forgotten this fabulous choreo !
Where we lost those two ladies, beauties??? 💐💐
I had no clue how amazing songs you have. Fabulous
omg top of the pops dam thats making me feel real old
Grande ❤
Wish I grew up in this era 🔥
where the world wasnt complex...and no person was insulted by everything. :(
Beautiful song...thanks..
I don't see a bum cheek anywhere, and is still good.
Jay A M Look closer - there must be one somewhere
+Chris Hall Hahaha I still can't see one.
*"so coooooooold"*
In love with this song so much,,, love to paul young from india❤❤❤❤❤
Greatest ever ....nostalgia
Great name for a band
Paul Young is Brilliant !
Love this version
Tellement chouette .on a dansé sur cette chanson ...🎉❤
GENIALLLLL
Talentueux respect ❤❤❤❤❤💎💎💎💎💎💎
Hammer Dance
The blonde (Paul's sister?) seems to be the boss! She, Maz, was not Paul's sister, but I think that the Fabulous Wealthy Tarts really made Paul Young something special. He is a great singer. But the Tarts added the icing on the cake to make "Paul Young" phenomenal.
Beautiful song 💖💖💖
awesome!!!
Nice job❤️
This great song watched him tonite in gwyn hall he did this song was great acoustic was amazin
Amazing! Marvellous! Though love also the other versions very much but this is the best version I think. Thanks a lot sir for this brilliant performance. Happy birthday sir!
i love
Having great hair is 90 per cent of the battle can I get an amen
Lovexthis song I like the back ground singers too
Love this song.🌸🌼
I was 2/3 months old when this was aired
He's from my homtown, called Luton.
This is a great song but sometimes daddy buys you the wrong dream to cling to... make your own way.
Amazing
Love the whole album
This Fantastic Version by Brit Paul Young failed to Chart when Initially Released in 1982!,The Song was Written by Americans John Hurley & Ronnie Wilkins (The Former no Longer Alive!),The Late Reggae Singer Nicky Thomas got a version to No9 in the UK Charts in 1970!,Quite a Few Artists have Covered it & The Lyrics Portray Poverty & Unemployment,This Version is also Associated with Xmas in the UK as shown in the Video which in My Humble Opinion adds to the Mood because Christmas can be Both Magical & Bleak depending on Circumstances & Outlook!.
Awesome.
grande❤️
80's 🔥🔥🔥
Oaul Yong ++ Love of the common people people
Temazooooo!!!
Mature & Vice
No parlez 2017 🎼
Such a reflection of working class culture
Sixteen Candles (1984) ...
The Smiths came right after him on the show and made history.
goddamn right and basically saved music in the process.
+thevoid99 Definitely. Thank goodness for The Smiths. They provided a much needed (superior) alternative to the overproduced 80's garbage.
lucas07700 right mate, after that thay nade History, good one. Vai Corinthians.
William Correa hahahaha vai corinthians!
"Now remember to mime like your making a martini in the chorus, girls"
!!!WoooW!!!
Quick Paul! Get home, just spotted Gino Dicampo climbing in your window.
what a sweater
Love of common people u lucky if u get it..................kk.
This is the same episode when the smith first appear?
Joyous video.Almost as good as the Nicky Thomas version.
nepochopení, retro its my life
