    Are you kidding me??? This video was put out in 2017 and there are only 1500 'likes' ? One of the very purest voices ever, with this collection of musicians .... A masterpiece.

    Paul is one of the finest singers in the Rock N Roll era, bar none. This song, recorded by Ace in 1975, still rings true. He is a LEGEND.

    • @leefi1

      Paul was the Ace frontman and principal song writer.

    • @Braveheartman123
      @Braveheartman123 Před 2 lety +4

      It’s one of my favorites from the 70’s. I think Ace recorded it in 1974, and it’s the 1st song Paul Carrack wrote. There’s an awesome live version on CZcams from 2017 too.

    @bernlin2000 Před 2 lety +5

    One of the best voices on the planet today, I don't think there's many singers 65+ that could still sing their recordings from 40+ years ago with the some vigor, but Paul does it, wow!

  • @melb5996
    @melb5996 Před 4 lety +35

    I only found out recently that Paul Carrack also sang “In the Living years” in the group “Mike and the Mechanics” which is one of the most incredible songs ever! Of course, this one is timeless as well. “Relationships” are universal and an artist who nails the heartache never fails. Great talent, still. 🥳👏👍

    I just bought this box set. This is (no surprise) the gem for me. How Long was the opening song each night for my band in the late 70s. The Papa Was a Rolling Stone opening and sax addition at the beginning was terrific. We just wish Paul would tour the U.S. on occasion.

    Living in Portugal, my son Andrew and I racked our brains as to who recorded this song one Christmas day. In the end we phoned our friend Paul in the UK who new it was Ace. Still sounds just as good because it is a classic by a superb singer and group.

    How Long is this been going on. When I was young boy I love those songs and the voice who sing these songs. Every performance I have seen in recent years, it has always been a celebration with the many fans whose hearts have been conquered with the great and rich ouvre of beautiful songs. And after so many years these songs are still classical favourites. You gave me more than One good reason for Blue views and a more Beautiful World. Your music, songs and voice Satisfy my soul. You did some Grooving and you are Still Groovin. It ain't over. But The Story So Far is I Know That Name for so many years even when you have A Different Hat. Your album Collected gives me a Good Feeling when it Rain or shine. You are so Dedicated to music. I hope that you also will do a tour in the Netherlands. In the past you gave some awesome concerts in my hometown Zoetermeer. Thank you for your beautiful songs and voice for almost 50 years. You make me feel good. Thank you for this music clip in which it can be seen that the spectator is always being treated to a fantastic performance.
