    on a trip with my girlfriend at the time this was playing while we watched her two young girls ice skating I knew then this was who I was going to spend my life with. we have been married 44 years this december and when ever I hear this song my memory goes right back there.

    A fantastic song will always be a fantastic song, I was incredibly lucky to see them in the early 80's on tour. Once at the Scarborough futurist theatre and in Newcastle. When they settled their differences and toured again I was there to watch them at Manchester arena. Such an amazing band that produced iconic hit after hit after hit. Gary Kemps songwriting skills are totally incredible. Such a shame Tony left the band but at least we have superb memories like this video. Such magical music and music that will live on forever.
