Although it is well known that people often associate a song with memory of an event. The song doesn't always have to correspond with when it was released. An example of that with me was this song made I think 1986 but for me the time was about October of 1994 going to an overnight cross country college running race event at Hartwick, New York ...😊
If I had a time machine, I would travel back to the summer of 1987 and just stay there. I'd live out the rest of my life starting out as a middle aged man
@@yatgrave1120 I'm 70 years old. I've been listening to Smokey since the 1950s, and of all the many awards and honors that were bestowed on him, I think that this is one of the greatest tributes of all!! Right on!
The basic track and movement in the music on this track are phenomenal. Love it and cannot stop watching this. Over and over, and it gets more betterer.
Who's questioning it?! These are talented white guys who love black music, we don't have a problem with them. Our problem is getting squeezed out of our own artform and not getting credit for it.
Memories remember my Dear Mum singing to this I was only about 14 years old brings a tear to my eye as the years have past so fast Mum is now 81 not in good health but she is & always be my Mum who cared for us made sure we had something to eat & clothes to were & all the love she could ever give from her heart ❤️ Mum thank you you will always be the love of my life you’re Number 2 son Xx❤️
The 80s got talent. I like how the close of the song builds up to a climax with all elements of the song comes together harmoniously something I never appreciated when that period.
I love the chord changes in this song. It goes from very up beat to very dark and serious . A great song all round. 1987 was a great year with Cov City winning the FA cup
In modern memory, I only know of four artist who had songs made in tribute to them, James Brown (several times over), Aretha Franklin, smokey Robinson, and Marvin Gaye

Great 80s music still great in 2024.
Such a remarkable time to be alive. 80's music was simply outstanding.
I can only agree, born in the late 60's a kid in the 70's, became an adult in the 80's, this music is part of my life! 😁
I grew up in the 70s 80s. Both decades had the greatest music ever i think. Those were great times. I miss them

Martin Fry is like looking at a piece of heaven,,, so handsome and well dressed,, such a great great song too,,,,,
Thiis !
And that voicee and dance!
My God, he's lovely
Martin Fry is great. Always loved the suits he wore.

summer of 1987 was good but summer of 1984 was even better
Me too as a sexy girl......
I have to agree my friend.
1987 , a fantastic year....
1981
@@Kamandi1971Same here!!!!
1984 is the best times!!!
I love Smokey sings. I think it was a great, great infectious song for Club 18-30 holidays in the early to mid 80's.
Love this track. The Alpabet City album(1987) was a really good comeback for ABC... Perhaps not that succesful, but it had the heart in a good place..
Top drawer performance as always really nostalgia brings me back to the 80s.
I was lucky enough to go through my teen years in the 80s. Fun music and great times.
“Miracles made real.”The coolest line in the song. Very nice how they worked that in there.
They must have been jumping in the studio when they got this one laid down, totally brilliant, infectious clever pop.
We had the best music. Long live genx
They nailed it! Smokey would be proud!
Sensationell, Das ist Btitsch Popp !!!👍😅🔝

I was 30 in 1984 and lived in Manhattan. It was majic !
If this had a Motown label on it, no-one would question it. Perfect !

I love this song 💞 I was 16
So tight, great track!!!
I love the top of the pop version of this video too!
R & B New wave. an innovative sound from the 80's- still sound cool
ABC was one of my favourite in the 80s and the song Smokey sings was the best awesome pop song
Fantastic song!!!!
Quite like Spandau Ballet's 'True' which references Marvin Gaye.
God how good were these guys 👌
this is great & The Look of Love is one of the best albums ever
Andy Lockett It was Lexicon Of Love. Look Of Love was one of its singles which is their biggest hit. 1982 I believe it was released.
Qué lindos eran, gracias.
pop perfection.
THIS BRIT GROUP WAS 30YEARS AHEAD OF ITS TIME
ABC do not suck

This brings back a lot of good memories 🔥🔥🔥
Love this song ❤

What a great song. They lip snyc but the tone is aces. Bass line is so motown.

Elton John and Bernie Taupin created this brilliant song .Billy Paul has made this great version. I love them both equally in different ways ❤
Exellent quality image and sound!!!...Where is this tv show from???...
Slick suits and ahead of the pack in style..
Gaultier, Armani......
Yay, shoulderpads
Drummer looks like Nick Sanderson, later of World of Twist and Earl Brutus. Can anyone confirm? 🤔
"When Smokie siiiiings, I hear violence...." :P
That's what I thought I heard when I first heard this song; but later realised it was violins.
Violin s
White Brits appreciate good Black American music.👍🏾
VIOLINS. NOT VIOLENCE. CLARIFICATION COMPLETE. SMOKEY NOT SINGING, HIM
BRING HEAVEN.
I 4 G everything.
My God..... 1987
Oooohhhh maaaan..... memories, cassette player, summertime in car stereo, ABC blaring.
Gentleman's song.
I love those years but jesus these day's, TATTOOs and PERCING...yark...
When Homelander sings!
Where’s Stephen singleton ? 😮🎶🎷
ABC were all about Trevor Horn - without him they were nothing I'm afraid :-(
Where are the girls?
Totally missed the opening vocal lip sync...lol

Boy George of the Jungle?
@@retrothingz :) The 80's rocked - but I like your comment :)
Lip synched but awesome.
No steve singleton

Two guitars on stage. No guitars in song. 😂
One is a bass guitar, and the bass is what drives this song.
millinial lol
Can hear harmonica and violin but they aren't visible on stage either ;)
