I'm revisiting this in '24, my sister has just passed away and one of my earliest memories is of us singing this to our Mum!!! Very emotional and a great song from a much more innocent and simpler time in many ways!!!
@Jay, I loved the 1970s, but I was kid too. I thought for a long time about how the world seemed so much nicer and more stable then, but I realized later that history shows the world was pretty messed up then in a lot of ways. There were horrors like famine in Africa, war in Vietnam, the Cold War, gasoline crisis, racial tension and injustice, slavery, totalitarian government oppression, the threat of nuclear war, gang violence, crime, etc. The world has never been a rose garden. My childhood was a rose garden in the 70s, but the world in general was not.
Thanks to You Tube we still can enjoy these songs otherwise they would have been living in our memories and the new generations wouldn't enjoy the good music
This song is the one I have chosen for my Mothers Funeral on Friday 5th January 2024. I remember sitting in the front of her car when I was a little girl and her driving round The Bullring when we lived near Birmingham, - Kerry RIP Mum 1944 - 2023
Sorry you gave lost your mother. I wa thinking when I started listening to this track how it creates such a strong memory of the 70s and the good times for those of us who were lucky enough to have our childhood during that time. So yes it's a good choice of song.
I was 9 years old in the hospital where they had to remove my tonsils and I heard it on the radio and loved it. The summer of 1971. I sang it all my life but never heard it again until I came here in 2022.
I was 6 when this was a UK number 1 in summer 1971. I always thought it was literally about a baby bird whose parents had abandoned it and flown off somewhere.
so, cool! I was five and my sister was eight. I thought she was so hip and in touch with everything. I heard her listening to this and went crazy whenever I heard it. I love you Cheryl!!!!
Bloody hell mate, that is one of the most moving things I've ever read. I'm not religious at all, but let's hope there is truth in it and one day you are reunited with your ma. We must be about the same age if you were 9 when this came out because I remember it too. Have a look for a video on CZcams called we never owned an Ipad, that'll bring back some good memories for you.
I was 6 years old, me and my mum would sing to this, I loved that world, flowers were bright and tall, we as kids played out, doors stayed unlocked or open, food tasted better, toys were simple, I really miss them days, and at 6 what wasn’t there not to love.
1971 y la música y las modas bailes todabia con mucho de finales de los 60s y la belleza de la chica natural femenina fresca y radiante en que momento nos empezamos a equivocar el camino
HELMY ABDULLAH that was a tough time for me back in the high school going through puberty and all...... the cause..... the onset of the mini skirt,hot pants, and really snug fitting bellbottoms! it was a very painful. confusing, but a really really delightful period of my life! all together now! one more time now! p.s. man man all this put the hurts to my g.p.a.
fashion is so bad now days that the guys are wearing those skinny jeans that my sister use to wear lol.....the blokes are turning into ladies with all them face creams and girly stuff and girly hair cuts.....the days of the real men are fading....
Yet another song that was part of the soundtrack to my youth! 70s had some of the greatest songs ever written and incredible eclectic mix of bands and artists! This is classic 70s pop, so very catchy we all sang along to it!
Cat Stevens was singing then, one of my VERY favourites, and The Spinners Folk band was around, they were amazing as well!!!!! There was LOADS of AMAZING FOLK MUSIC AROUND. The Spinners, "The World Is Black, the world is white, it turns by day and it turns by night, it turns by night." Does anybody remember that one?????????
Molto gettonato questo brano mi vengono i n mente quando cera l'auto scontro ché Era gettonatissima canzoni indimenticabile una più bella del l'altra si ritorna giovani col.perido di allora bellissima
I was 10 years old when this song came out. Darn, didn't we have some great music. As grumpy old grandad, darn, Sally Carr was/is gorgeous. Especially in tiny hot pants and long boots.
Pay close attention to the credits. "Care-free" for child molesters who get to the grave before the justice system gets to them... I wonder if the fiddled-kids reminisce wistfully.
For years I thought this song is lost for me...i was a kiddo when i found some compilation cassette with yellow label. This song was last one on side A. I was sold immediately with rewinding it until it lost every tone above 10kHz. The tape was gone with time but melody and few words remained in my head. Back then I didn't knew english. Thanks to Google who's algorithm recognized chirps from my head and brought me to this masterpiece. Seventies and eighties in heart forever.
If you read the lyrics to this song it's the parents cutting free and leaving the kids to fend for themselves and one of the children is a baby,leaving "mama & papa to go far far away" it's a pretty depressing song if u read the lyrics 🤔
Hello from Scotland🏴 I lived in Germany as a kid & saw this group live & singing this song....those were the days & I have loved this song ever since. Happy memories.❤️❤️❤️😄😭💐 Stay safe everybody.😷
Absolutely brilliant song , I was 8yrs old when this was a hit, my mum played this song a lot when I was a kid, forgot all about it till I recently visited Glasgow and heard this song being played in the background and brought back great memories, sally sang so beautifully 👍
thats great but how sadist is it that a poor baby called Don has been abandoned by both his parents....please keep enjoying songs that have let up to modern day grammy awards

Als ich diesen Song nach über 50 Jahren wieder hörte, lief es mir eiskalt den Rücken runter und die Situation, in der ich diesen Song zum ersten Mal als 8-jähriger hörte: Ich ging mit einer Glasschale "bewaffnet" in ein Cafe (Cafe Zorn) in unserem Ort um 20 Kugeln Vanilleeis zu kaufen für Eiskaffee und da wurde genau zu der Zeit dieser Song gespielt! Ich kann mich an die Stimmung, die Atmosphäre, den Geruch und den Geschmack in diesem Cafe nach über 50 Jahren noch ganz genau erinnern als wenn es gestern gewesen wäre!!! Absoluter Wahnsinn!!!!!!

Sally Care U ARE a legend in my time. This song will always remind of me of my young life in a play pen in 1969/1970 and also downtown by Petula Clarke,.Memories of my wonderful parents and different times.
Funny how some songs just take you right back. I can remember the sun was shining and I was at nana's house and the world was new and beautiful in the summer of 1971. I still love singing this song.
Love this ..takes me back to being 17 ..i was seeing this guy nick nsmed ..Mash ...he drove a zephyr ..it was mohair suits and crombie coats mary quant dresses minis etc ...my friend was a teainees hairdresser and cut my hair with blonde streaks at the front Jennifer aniston style bob ..went to work next day and every body copied my hairstyle ...it still takes me back ..happy days ...
As a small child I was inconsolable, with the lyrics singing of my greatest, most horrific fear. Now that fear has become reality. My pretty mother died last week, after an aggressive blood cancer took her life two months after diagnosis. I miss her more than words can say.. more than ever when listening to her old music.
Sally superb singer loved you when I 13 so cute sweet good looking love you to day at 61 god bless you sally thanks for making me happy with your music Ron 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
My parents loved that song and had put it on repeat over and over again. I was a child back then and didn't like it all. Now, centuries later, I enjoy listening to the happy songs now and then.
Sally, today you celebrate your 75th Birthday, congratulations for the very best of all times, you where my first Dream Woman, your poster was over my bed and i still hear your fantastic voice everyday
My mother loved this song. Used to sing it all the time. Never saw the video or even heard of Middle of the Road until more than 20 years after she passed away, all too young. Boy did it bring her back to life for me for just a while. Still does every time I watch this.
I remember this from the age of 5.... and not until I was over 25 did I finally connect that tune to this song... awsome... have never forgot this since and play it every now and then.
Summer of 1975, on the beach in the Crimea. The dawn. We have finished drinking party and are staring at the sea and the rising sun. And first we heard this song, sung on two voices, then saw two girls going along the shore in the surf and singing this song. I often see/recollect that marvellous picture from my Soviet youth and listen to Sally Carr, performing this masterpiece.
whos loving this in 24 .... brings it all back .
Always singing this and get strange looks
Certainly does ...................
❤ always to cheer up
Me. I was born in 73 and love 60s and 70s music 🎶 🎵 ❤ ♥ 😊

They say you should not live in the past. But late 60s to early 70s were the best magical times. I'd go back and stay there.
Don't forget 80s too 😂
forever 70s
And then Came Thatcher and with it the demise of the UK an its music
Верно! 👍👍👍
As a 5-year-old in1972, I loved this song.

Mid 60's to the end of the 80's was the best 25 years for music.
72 ACTUALLY
I think 54-89 35years.Rock n Roll setup the diet that started it, many genres from that part trace the roots to that what i
Gotta include the late 50s and early 60s.

There was LOADS of good music around then. (In the 70's, and 60's as well). I can't go back before that, I wasn't around!!!!!
That was a very happy time 🙃
@Jay, I loved the 1970s, but I was kid too. I thought for a long time about how the world seemed so much nicer and more stable then, but I realized later that history shows the world was pretty messed up then in a lot of ways. There were horrors like famine in Africa, war in Vietnam, the Cold War, gasoline crisis, racial tension and injustice, slavery, totalitarian government oppression, the threat of nuclear war, gang violence, crime, etc. The world has never been a rose garden. My childhood was a rose garden in the 70s, but the world in general was not.

I thought for sure your story was going to end with "had to remove my tonsils and when I woke up my parents had abandoned me."
I wish they removed my eardrums. This is pure drivel.
Recall hearing this everywhere when it was number one in the UK. Happy times.
My dad used to always sing this I didn’t realise it was an actual song 😂
My dad used to do the same thing I always thought he made it up
Don't worry ma mam sang it too lol in the 80s am 41 lol cany beat th old tunes 👌🏴
I heard it on Norfolk island, for the first time last year, I'm 47 and never heard of this before
My dad sung it like a few minutes ago lol

Yes, my father would ALWAYS play this in the car, and I am glad I found this song, ah it beings memories back.
Sally Care U ARE a legend in my time. This song will always remind of me of my young life in a play pen in 1969/1970 and also downtown by Petula Clarke,.Memories of my wonderful parents and different times.
Funny how some songs just take you right back. I can remember the sun was shining and I was at nana's house and the world was new and beautiful in the summer of 1971. I still love singing this song.
Love this song. Wish i could turn the clocks back. Whose watching this because of the lockdown. Stay safe.
48 years later and I'm still enjoying it, great!
Came to youtube after this song invaded my head and made me sing in the shower and is my brainworm today. Fifty years omg.
Love this ..takes me back to being 17 ..i was seeing this guy nick nsmed ..Mash ...he drove a zephyr ..it was mohair suits and crombie coats mary quant dresses minis etc ...my friend was a teainees hairdresser and cut my hair with blonde streaks at the front Jennifer aniston style bob ..went to work next day and every body copied my hairstyle ...it still takes me back ..happy days ...
As a small child I was inconsolable, with the lyrics singing of my greatest, most horrific fear. Now that fear has become reality. My pretty mother died last week, after an aggressive blood cancer took her life two months after diagnosis. I miss her more than words can say.. more than ever when listening to her old music.
So sorry for your loss. ❤️
Sally superb singer loved you when I 13 so cute sweet good looking love you to day at 61 god bless you sally thanks for making me happy with your music Ron 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Remember this so well
My parents loved that song and had put it on repeat over and over again. I was a child back then and didn't like it all. Now, centuries later, I enjoy listening to the happy songs now and then.
@R S Everyone is singing along to it and enoying the melody.
@R S We don't know. Maybe mother had to go to work, I don't want to discuss nor argue. It is just a song.
Sally, today you celebrate your 75th Birthday, congratulations for the very best of all times, you where my first Dream Woman, your poster was over my bed and i still hear your fantastic voice everyday
The 70's were deffo the best years to me, growing up as a young lad, I would be 8 when this came out and I remember it like it was yesterday.
I really enjoy this song when it came out. l am now 70 and teaching it to my granchildren.

My youth ! In 1971 I was 14 years old , and today I have 58 F......! years of age , soon the light will turn off ! What a Pity !
at 58 you are not old, and the lights should not turn off ...its up to you to keep the lights going

kahetel13 😘😘😘
fourkero1 thank god they do! in our next lives we'll do the same shit again and again...i hope i die before i get old (really old:-)
MrSchmolko This is it . We only get on go . Reincarnation is false.
My mother loved this song. Used to sing it all the time. Never saw the video or even heard of Middle of the Road until more than 20 years after she passed away, all too young. Boy did it bring her back to life for me for just a while. Still does every time I watch this.
I grew up with this, that's when music was music, not like the crap of today. Give me the 70s anyday. 14 wa
Thanks a Million Sally and the Guys !!!!!!!!!!!
Great Times !! Far far away now
Gorgeous Legs Hun !! lol
I had forgotten about this song !
I'm here because
I was 9 years old in 1971 and remember this record very well. I don't need some crap X factor show from 2020 to bring me here.
Damn right!!
I totally agree with you.
@@18thebat Cheers
I remember this from the age of 5.... and not until I was over 25 did I finally connect that tune to this song... awsome... have never forgot this since and play it every now and then.
I was 9 also and this was the first record I ever bought back in 1971 , well it was my late dear father who bought it for me!
In 1971 i was 17yrs old and sally was a must see on top of the pops! great voice, great looks and cracking legs, oh and the song is great too.
One of my favourite songs first holiday abroad in Loret de mar Spain bought it there in Spanish played so much I can sing it in Spanish 1971
This song got stuck in my 10yo head back in 71 - and I never even knew who it was until at least 10 years later
I'm SO THRILLED that I remembered this song!!!!
why? do you have a bad memory
Summer of 1975, on the beach in the Crimea. The dawn. We have finished drinking party and are staring at the sea and the rising sun. And first we heard this song, sung on two voices, then saw two girls going along the shore in the surf and singing this song. I often see/recollect that marvellous picture from my Soviet youth and listen to Sally Carr, performing this masterpiece.
I cried to this when I was 4 🥲
Another great Brit group (amongst many) from the 60s & 70s we just kept churning them out!!
