      Autotune is in their head and if it comes out not as planned, it still works because these musicians are so versed in chord voicing. They "were not" or "they weren't," "they didn't"; a good musician can use notes the same way.

    "Some adults and kids" today are trying to kill the messengers of the past. Then after the messenger is silenced, they try to be more than the past, but they don't realise that they have become the new past soon to be forgotten. Why? Music is not a noise with misplaced random sounds. Have you ever heard a spanish person speak so beautifully as they roll one word in to another, or a frenchman, englishman, or asian music put to a classical dance. Well if you have then you know that they didn't kill the messenger, they became a past and present, messenger for the future. They listened, studied, and evolved to say more with the same language. Music is such a beautiful language when communicated well. THANK YOU PAUL CARRACK & ENSEMBLE...that was handsome, stunning, so beautiful!

    Paul Carrack possesses a voice that transcends the boundaries of time, a captivating instrument that has remained a well-kept secret among those fortunate enough to discover his musical prowess. In the annals of musical history, his contributions stand as a testament to both his immense talent and his undeniable impact on the industry.
    Despite his unparalleled artistry, Carrack has often resided in the shadows, overlooked by a world that seems to have underestimated his brilliance. It is a disheartening reality that so many fail to recognize the sheer magnitude of his musical gifts. Yet, for those who have had the privilege of experiencing his soul-stirring melodies, there is an unspoken understanding of the true depth of his genius.
    Carrack's vocal range effortlessly navigates the realms of passion and vulnerability, seamlessly infusing each note with raw emotion. His delivery possesses an innate ability to touch the hearts of listeners, evoking a wide spectrum of feelings that can only be ignited by a truly exceptional artist. From his early contributions to the bands such as Ace, Squeeze, and Mike + The Mechanics, to his remarkable solo career, Carrack's voice has remained an enchanting force that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
    One cannot help but wonder why the world has failed to acknowledge the greatness of Paul Carrack on a broader scale. Perhaps it is the elusive nature of his persona, the absence of flamboyance that often accompanies mainstream success. Or maybe it is the fact that his artistry does not conform to the fleeting trends that dominate the airwaves. Nevertheless, it is abundantly clear to those who have truly listened that Carrack is an unparalleled talent deserving of far greater recognition.
    So, who else shares this sentiment? Who else has experienced the ethereal beauty of Carrack's voice and found solace in the transcendent melodies he weaves? To them, his music serves as a refuge, a sanctuary in a world often plagued by mediocrity. It is a bond that unites souls and transcends the limitations imposed by popular opinion.
    In conclusion, Paul Carrack's voice is a gift to the world of music-an instrument that resonates with an authenticity and depth that is nothing short of extraordinary. While the masses may overlook his contributions, those who truly understand the power of his artistry stand united in their admiration. May his melodies continue to grace our ears and hearts, reminding us of the timeless beauty that can be found in the voice of one of the most underrated musicians of our era.

      @@lauristonplaceeh3 Well thanks for bringing up this information, but first I think your use of the adverb “Spectacularly” was a bit over the top but we’ll let that slide. Yes Gershwin’s did write a song entitled “How Long has this been going on”, but then again so did Carly Simon - using the same FULL title,, and guess what….neither of the words are any where near each other…including the Ace version “How Long (has this been going on)”. Notice the difference in the titles. Now I have no idea if the musical arrangements are anywhere near the same on all three songs (and I doubt they are), and I really don’t care! All I know is that the backstory I cited above I heard from 2 different DJ’s (one a nationally recognized expert) and if you look up the Wikipedia on “How Long; (Ace song)” you will find the same backstory as above, perhaps written a tab better than I. I think you and I have educated the public enough but thanks for the comment and getting me to research this, it was enjoyable.

      I first heard it back in the Jurassic Age (before CZcams) when I was working for the "Melody Maker" in London in the early-1970s. Somehow I heard that "the song was by the Gershwins", and that "info" somehow stuck with me. But I suppose, in the absence of instant easy access to recorded performances at the time, I just assumed it was the same song.

    Great drummer. Played for thirty years and anyone can play that sixteenth time on the hi-hat. It just takes lots of practice and stamina, which comes from doing it. Very clean and tight, very well done!

      really sets the groove for that tune. also the tambourine player is nailing it!

      I believe the drummer is his brother....

    • @campyoldie
      @campyoldie Před 2 lety

      I don't think he is playing semi quavers on the hi hat though' just looks like quavers to me.

    • @lalyyanez3158

      Looks like the tambourine is playing the sixteenths instead of the hi-hat like on the original recording, excellent job !

    Excellent. To be recorded as a group and not isolated in booths tells me how tight they really are. Lots of talent right here.

    Wow! After all this time, this song is still hot hot hot. Paul Carrack is just as smooth singing this in 2010 as he did then. Thank you!

      Oh dear why do we have to put up with such rubbish in 2021/2 when we have this wonderful track to make today;s music sound really crap. Are the so called stars of today bloody deaf? Do they not listen to this kind of real music? I reckon I am getting bloody old yes 78 but my musical listening is just the same, I wish time travel was a reality I know where I would go.

    This is one of the very best songs of the 70's, the best decade of music. I was born in 1971 so grew up on 80's mostly but as I've aged I've come to this realization. Nothing hits like the 70's.

    As far as I'm concerned the girl with the tambourine is the star of the show. That thing cuts right through the mix and there is never a jingle out of place! And she can sing and dance!!
