I'm in my seventies now, I feel so privileged to have had the music of the 60s & 70s, I listen to the artists now and all the memories come flooding back. This track is one that brings back such good memories. Thanks for the music.
You can almost smell that era from hearing this song. I would go back there in a heartbeat. Lots of things weren't right, but overall the quality of life for most people was much simpler and better than it is now.
I agree. I was only a child in the '60's but with much older siblings I listened to and watched everything!! Nothing now comes close. So much for progress!
I thought that myself when I was watching the videos. I’m slightly too young to remember the group but I thought, the lead singer, what a good looking young fella. xx
There were some bad songs in the 60's and 70's, the difference was that they had the common sense not to release them. Whereas today, they don't know the difference they release them anyway. Nobody today has any talent so they stand as much chance as any other moron in having a hit
@@andrewfinney2791 I agree with you Andrew. It all went so wrong. But I am so grateful we had those memories of a time that will never be repeated. 66 now, ouch, it doesn't hurt much. 😊
Steve absolutely nails the emotion in this song, you can hear that there is smoothness, there is soul, there is sentiment, there is passion and above there is a beautiful rasp sound in his voice.
Vanessa i like your comment ,, this guy as the most fantastic voice , hes the best , then now and always xxx long live the 60s era im so happy i was their lol Jane x🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
As a 60s teenager this song brings a mental picture album of the late 60s that can know be recognised as the beat era to have grown up in. Full employment, limited TV, that meant most went socially to pubs and clubs for friendship. Everything like hospitals, police stations, bus and rail services were available in all our towns and cities. And the range of music still popular today.
Saw Steve Ellis in Leeds last week. He sang this and all the Love Affair hits. He still has the voice. Love to be transported back to the 1960's . We can dream can't we.
Yes, no one can stop us from dreaming. Wish there was a musical time machine, as I would love to go back to the 60s to see bands like Love Affair, that I was too young to truly appreciate (born in 1962). Sigh.....
I wished I could have been there with you in that concert! I was born in 19ze. And unbelievable, I do remember from my toddler time that kind of music, the young men in the streets who looked like that, and I loved it. In my youth I he'd that Disco stuff. Always adored the bands and music from the 1960s. I really long for time travel. I swear I go back, and this time nobody will be able to force me to leave that better time.
Really feel so sorry for those who missed the 60's....what a truly fabulous era it was. There'll never be anything like it again....take me back...please
To hear the young speaker today you would think there was nothing but sexism racism and homophobia but maybe they just prefer to believe they're living in the best time - as far as music goes they're definitely not
Hi so sorry to hear about your mum she's waiting for you at the other side ❤mary finlayson from Glasgow my mums waiting for me what a song that was iwas 15 at the time 😢❤so your mum will be there mary from Glasgow
Hi Bridget ,so would I and never come back , fantastic times when I was a lad in the sixties ,miss those years so much. Love affair one of my favourite groups then .
Andrew - no way would I come back either - the music alone would keep me there and the amount of live music I saw then makes me feel quite sorry for today’s teens.
@@bridgetkirby3246 My eldest sister went to see bands like the Dave Clark Five and others, I was too young to go, I had a small transistor radio which was practically stuck to me, listening to Radio Caroline, Radio London and in the evening I would listen to Luxembourg, such great times unlike now ,hate it.just hang on to great memories.
Hey everyone lets go down to "RAINBOW VALLEY" where love is everywhere, the sun is shining as breeze is blowing gently, as the birds are singing we all sit around an just embrace the beauty of it all; being so simple and free from the world's insanity.Letting love flow upon us all and enjoying each other for being us.Cmon let's go.
You know what's really funny though, when I was a kid in the mid-60's older people were saying that they couldn't understand what the Beatles were saying.
@@paulcousins9895 yes it was fantastic to grow up with all this great music . I had the opportunity to see the love affair up Hanley stoke on Trent at the Top rank I was 15 at the time and Steve Ellis was the same age such happy memories. All best Paul take care x
What you clearly don't understand is that what you like then was just noise to your parents, you cant just completely dismiss music because you dont like it, music is subjective and to be honest you are just writing this to get attention from other music snobs thats cant move on
Lewis O'Neill yes you’re right, the thing is whatever music you grow up listening to is the music that you identify with, so for me and others of the 60s-70s this is our music, and in 50yrs time people will be saying the same about today’s music 🎵😎🤘🏼🥰
I was only 9 years old when this was a hit, I loved it then and still love it now. Steve Ellis and Love affair were one of those bands that fully captivated the whole essence of the 60s and immortalised it in music.
13 years old living 12,000 mile away bought all their single that made it here, my record play as a kid was the one that HMV showed as their logo volume control stuff a sock down the horn magic childhood days.
CORRECT can't beat listening to the class music of yesteryear in these virus challenging times. The only thing keeping us goin cos we can't do much else. 👏👏👏👍😉
Can't stop ever listening to these songs massive memories of all my young days and family holidays just heartbreaking but big smiles tons of love to all xxxxxx
Absolutely brilliant era and the music was out of this world,unfortunately never to be repeated, it’s not music today it’s all rubbish!!! Steve Ellis sings the brilliantly,.
When this came out we had no internet no Mobile no sat nav no sky tv but boy did we have music who would give it all up to go back be honest.
😂❤❤❤❤❤🎉
So true
Bang right❤
Absolutely me😂
Ditto, ❤🎉😢😮
I would give It up
Hands up if you're over 50, we have had the Best Ever half century of astounding music creativity to weave into our memories.
71 and im still dancing around my living room love it ❤❤❤
I am just about to become 70 and I enjoyed the 60s and 70s music. It was 100% better than today’s music.
The best decade ever for music I'm 62 now
I wouldn’t call today’s music, music. I can’t repeat on here what some of it is.

I agree. I was only a child in the '60's but with much older siblings I listened to and watched everything!! Nothing now comes close. So much for progress!
Amen to that sir!!!😊👍
I'd come with you, need to keep the flame alive for world of peace and love unlike the bullshit crap that is on offer these days.
FO, not it wasn't. 3 day week, no working class went to Uni, poor food, very few had cars..I was there.
The happiest, loveliest song from a wonderful era. What a handsome, happy chappy Steve Ellis was.💓
I thought that myself when I was watching the videos. I’m slightly too young to remember the group but I thought, the lead singer, what a good looking young fella. xx
I saw Steve Ellis, a few months ago, in a 60's gold show, he was brilliant.
Love it darling bless you xx
I'm 67 And bouncing about listening to this, loved this band
When music was music 🎶 🎵
The music of today just can't reach this emotional, powerful, magnificence
I'm now 65 been/seen all of the decades but imo nothing beats the 60s n 70s happy days great memories😁🏌🎶🎶🍀🍀
This was played at my mate’s funeral last week. He died suddenly from an heart attack at 56. R.I.P. Sal. I hope your now in Rainbow Valley.
RIP 🙏
Sorry for your loss.The Perfect Song For Him. He is now in Heaven Over a Rainbow!
I’m sure he is mate
You have my prayers and empathy (I ķnòw its tough ).
I am sorry to hare that 😔
You cannot beat the 60s and 70s I feel sorry for todays youths
60's and 70's music was best music ever.
I was so lucky...the best era ever..rainbow valley...we didn't have much...but so much love happiness and the sun always seemed to shine in those days
The sounds of the sixties will last forever. They certainly knew how to write great songs back then.
Brilliant Love Affair.
A tingle down my spine every single time I hear this. Incredible.
I got an Everlasting Love for this Track.
Absolutely one of the most talented singers in British rock history Steve Ellis
Steve ellis on a Whitby 60s festival this summer
sounds a bit like steve mariott
@@mre7550 No way. I like Steve Ellis but hes no where near the vocalist that Marriott was
;love it
Yes you are right Very good
75 years later and I still rock the 60s music..a time when life was so alive
My schooldays and all my friends have come again to memory. 55 years ago
Everlasting Love of these Everlasting Songs
You can't beat the 60sthis song from Love Affair optimises the era , one of love, friendship and happiness ❤
Cannot say it better and yes you can smell early70ts🎉

Stay in 60s and 70s forever
Me too and still love our music
What a song. What a voice. They weren’t half spoilt in the Sixties. Every record was brilliant.
You're not wrong I'm glad I was in the swinging 60s
There were some bad songs in the 60's and 70's, the difference was that they had the common sense not to release them. Whereas today, they don't know the difference they release them anyway.
Nobody today has any talent so they stand as much chance as any other moron in having a hit

Gud Northern sole lol x
Best decade for music was in my opinion 1965 -75 so many classic songs, the sun will always shine in Rainbow Valley
and what happened after 75?? If you don't mind me asking??

Most underrated voice ever Steve Ellis

and all people were friendly!!!
I miss that time, before any thought of video games and social media, when kids read books, went fishing and fell out of trees.
And then too much immigration took hold too fast and changed everything.
Hey be realistic people it wasn't all roses
We also had Cuba crisis racial discrimination Vietnam Iron curtain.
This sadly true
The wonderful Steve Ellis and Love Affair , brilliant from 1968 love it ❤
I am a 44 years female from Africa and I love them❤

And a shed load of shouting or screeching
Yess, that's right. I agree.👍
