Paul Carrack is the Lead Singer, he is been around in a few groups. Great voice!! He is lead singer on Tempted by Squeeze and The Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics.
Actually, the song isn’t about a woman cheating. Paul Carrack wrote it when he found out the bass player, Terry “Tex” Comer, had secretly been playing with another band.
Check out David Pack's (Ambrosia's lead singer) "Just Can't Let Go" backed up by James Ingram and the great Michael McDonald!! Fantastic!!! Love y'all!! We live about 20 miles from the Red River in Bowie Texas!
Paul Carrack was in the touring band headlined by Eric Clapton in 2014 (This song came out in 1975). Eric introduces him and they breakout into "How Long". Serious respect from Slowhand. Carrack is often dubbed as the "Man with the Golden Voice" as he has contributed to bands such as Ace, Roxy Music, Mike + the Mechanics, Nick Lowe, Carlene Carter, Roger Waters, Squeeze, Paul Young and a lot more. This guy is gold.
The singer’s name is Paul Carrack. I once read in an interview he stated he’d written “How Long” and it was about his bass player playing in another band while still playing with Ace. He was also a member of the band Mike and the mechanics.
IIRC the other band was Quiver. Who I heard originally as The Sutherland Brothers and Quiver on their album. BTW, the guitarist on at least some of their albums (Quiver) is Tim Renwick, the guy in the Pink Floyd Pulse videos in front of the singers.
One of the most underrated British vocalists, Paul Carrack. As stated below, Paul has contributed to many different projects that have had some charting singles where he did lead vocals. Nice groove on Ace's one hit wonder How Long (idk!).
I’m telling you guys, “How Much I Feel” by Ambrosia… I know I’ve said it a lot in these comments, but it’s SUCH a great song, and you guys will love the twist in the lyrics.
Ace - How Long Squeeze - Tempted Mike & The Mechanics - The Living Years Mike & The Mechanics - Silent Running Mike & The Mechanics - Over my Shoulder Paul Carrack - When You Walk in the Room Paul Carrack - Eyes of Blue Paul Carrack - Dedicated “How Long” is often the closing song in Paul Carrack’s concerts. Last 10 years he often played in the Netherlands with his band.
And anything from his Suburban Voodoo album. I wore out the album in college and had to replace it. "I Need You" might be a good song to check out because it's classic smooooooth Paul Carrack. So Right, So Wrong is great, too.
If you guys haven't checked out "Hello It's Me" by Todd Rundgren, you're doing yourselves a disservice. It's in the same vein as this song. Also, that sound on the guitar was most likely due to the use of an effect pedal, probably some kind of flanger or chorus effect.
As everyone has said, Paul Carrack is one of the finest vocalists in rock music. He can sing it all. He's had so many hits with so many other artists over the year. Just a great musician.
"How Long" by Ace reached #3 in April of 1975. The Bee Gees began their run of "disco" hits two months later with "Jive Talkin'" which hit #1 in late June which started their comeback after not charting a hit since 1972.
You Should check out these classics as well: "Please Come To Boston" - Dave Loggins "Reminiscing" - Little River Band "Cool Night" - Paul Davis "Steppin' Out" - Joe Jackson
This song came out in 1974, The Bee Gees had a Different sound in 1974, The Bee Gees Didn't have the Disco sound until around 1976 or 1977 That's when Disco Skyrocketed.
Paul is still around doing his thing, but sadly never seems to come or the US. Met him in KC in 82 when he was touring with Nick Lowe. Besides Tempted and the M and the M stuff, he has put out some awesome solo stuff.
Since that was Ace's only hit, here are three other one-hit wonders from the 70's to consider: "Rock the Boat" by The Hues Corporation "Magic" by Pilot "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by Edison Lighthouse
Oh man, I hate that song Rock the Boat for the simple reason that on the rare occasions we could listen to the radio in boot camp, this song was always playing!
Paul Carrack is a treasure - he co-sings lead on Tempted by Squeeze, sang co-lead in Mike & the Mechanics (that's him on In the Living Years which I think you reviewed already), had a major solo hit with Don't Shed a Tear, and also was in Roxy Music for a time - super talented vocalist who doesn't get enough credit - so glad you appreciate him!
My guess is, the guitar is through a Leslie cabinet, normally used with a Hammond organ. The speakers inside the cab rotate and the rate of rotation can be increased or decreased with a switch. Eventually guitarists moved to Chorus pedals as Leslie cabs were bulky and heavy. Jan Akkerman of Focus used them extensively.
I don't know enough about super old school amps, to me you could also achieve the same sound with a flanger effect pedal, maybe some phaser chucked in as well, but as you mention, rotating speakers would create a similar effect.
There lots of pedals these days that emulate a Leslie pretty well. Chorus never really quite did the job. Cheaper and handier than dragging a Leslie around though.
@ Peter. Old school is right Peter. The first time I heard a guitar through a Leslie cab was (ironically) Leslie West, Nantucket Sleighride. 1971. The Boss company were still Roland then.
I'm so glad younger generations are learning how much incredible music their "goofy old parents" had in THEIR day! 🎵 "Nana, nana boo boo, we had more than you do"! 🎶 🤣
I have always loved this song, but I couldn’t have told you the band if my life depended on it. From reading the comments I see this is a one hit wonder. Makes sense to me. But, still love it. There are so many groups that could have influenced this sound, possibly Chicago, Bread, Three Dog Night, etc., but also Motown. This type of sound was very popular pre- disco.
The Bee Gees were not a disco band for the 100th time! They were R&B & Blue Eyed Soul, Folk, Country, Gospel, and Rock! They had tune's in a movie about disco.
It was such a surprise to see that you listened to "How Long" and "Smoke from a Distant Fire" on the same day. It's like you read my mind. I've known both songs since they first came out and always paired them together. I suppose it's because they're both about cheating and have a more sophisticated jazz-pop feel.
They need to listen to "Me and Mrs. Jones". I suggested it recently and hope they'll see any other requests for it, too. I like hearing Daryl Hall sing it, too. Daryl's "Philly Mood" is a favorite.
I am a singer and I am studying Carrack, his approach, his songs. A Brit with a soulful voice, self taught, and I am in awe. He closes his eyes and he has an inner tension in his phrases like a jazz trumpet, very complicated vocal riffs, a lot of variation in his tone and texture (this is why he is so interesting to listen to), especially in, IN THE LIVING YEARS, I bow at his altar.
Many others have said who the singer is, now you need to review Tempted by Squeeze, where Carrack sings lead. The song was a staple of our fraternity parties in the mid 1980's.
This one made me think of another group you might enjoy - Atlanta Rhythm Section. They have a ton of great songs: So Into You, Spooky, Imaginary Lover, Champagne Jam.
This song was written because their bass guitarist was stepping out with another band, and was thinking about leaving this one for the other band. Word got around and this song was written about his actions. The bassist didn't know the song was about him at this time they're making the video or singing the song.
Been listening to this song since it was released. Still listen on my phone all the time. Great then Great now. Glad to see you guys enjoyed this one. 70s 80s yes.
Another brilliant choice from my youth. One of my all time favourite tracks. This the first song on so many of my playlists. Hearing this is always like meeting up with an old friend who you hold very dear in your heart. The lead singer is Paul Carrack who is massively loved and respected especially here in the UK. Be the other way round about the Bee Gees influencing them, they would have influenced the Bee Gees. It's not about a cheating woman but about their bass player playing in secret with another band.
When ACE made this record the Bee Gees had a different sound with Robin , not Barry as lead singer at that time. Should here some early Bee Gees , Message to You, and Massachusetts. Robin had a great voice
Yeah Jordan no dance beat nothing like Staying Alive, sooooo much better. Be careful not to pigeonhole a band. You haven't heard alot of rock music in total. Plus you said you hadn't even listened to the 'Remedy' song since you first heard it. When you can sing lyrics by heart then you know some music.
The Bee Gees did an acoustic version if Massachusetts on the Mike Douglas show that was outstanding. Robin has a very unique voice. I prefer their pre disco stuff.
I would frequently have this song in my head--I heard it on the radio when I was a kid--and could never remember the band. I was surprised to discover that Paul Carrack was the singer, who (as previously mentioned) did an album with the band Squeeze, particularly the hit song "Tempted", and he also shared vocals with Glenn Tilbrook on "Black Coffee in Bed". It's very clearly his voice. I feel like this was a one-hit wonder for Ace, but I'm not entirely sure.
Love Amber’s shirt. If you get Disney plus , On November 24,25,26 is a Beatles documentary on Get Back /mini roof top concert with never before seen footage
This was a great song I remember this during high school I always thought he was talking about a woman that was cheating on him but what the real story is he found out that 1 of his band mates was moonlighting with another band and the guy didn't tell him anything and so hes letting them know how long has this been going on And the band eventually broke up the singer is Paul Carrick of Mike and the mechanics great reaction guys keep spreading the music around ❤
Great Choice guys and so you know this song is not about a girl but its about a band mate That went to try out with another band and they found out about it and wrote this song.
Paul Carrack is the lead singer and the 'real deal'... great voice, musician, songwriter (for many people in the business) and has worked with great names in music. He has a big catalogue of beautiful songs: "Don't Shed A Tear", "I Need You", "Satisfy My Soul", "Dedicated" and many more... But please take a listen to "Let Me Love Again", a personal favourite, such a beautiful song!
I’ve see lots of mentions in the comments but I’m gonna add mine as well. If you like this you have to listen to the band Squeeze, and the song Tempted. The vocalist is Paul Carrack and he can flat out sing. Great soul to his voice.
Paul is one of those guys that just never got over. He sang with Ace, Squeeze, Mike and the Mechanics, and a lot of solo stuff, but could just never really break through. One of the smoothest voices of the time though.
If you guys like this lead singer's voice, you should check out the song "Tempted" by the band Squeeze. He sings lead and it is a real ear worm of a song---in a good way!
Time to introduce you to some Alan Parsons Project. "Time" is probably my favorite, but "Sirius/Eye in the Sky" is probably a good first choice. Sirius is the musical intro to Eye in the Sky. Bonus points to Jay if he recognizes Sirius, if not he is not a real sports fan. Also really like "Don't answer me" and "Wouldn't want to be like you".
Love some APP. Sirius/Eye in the Sky is one of my favourites. Also love Games People Play - great tune, great vocals and GREAT guitar solo. Silence & I would be a great tune for Jay and Amber too with it’s crazy orchestral arrangements!
Yes! Love Alan Parsons Project, and "Sirius/Eye in the Sky" is a good choice for a first listen. I discovered them through "I, Robot" but I don't know if they're ready for that.
When I think back through the decades where I grew up, it’s amazing the amount of absolutely tremendous music we had… I mean we loved her music but after living all these years and seeing what’s going forward it is the best of the best
Paul Carrack is the Lead Singer, he is been around in a few groups. Great voice!! He is lead singer on Tempted by Squeeze and The Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics.
Love mike and the mechanics
“Living Years”.... 💯😢
I had no idea this was the same singer as Mike & the Mechanics. Cool!
The Living Years by Mike and The Mechanics and Temped by Squeeze. Check them out. You won’t regret it.
Also, Silent Running Mike & the Mechanics
It seriously should be against the law that Paul Carrack has not gotten more attention from people. His voice is absolutely amazing
BBC on Carrack-“The man with the golden voice”. I totally concur.
Actually, the song isn’t about a woman cheating. Paul Carrack wrote it when he found out the bass player, Terry “Tex” Comer, had secretly been playing with another band.
I heard it was that the band found out that their manager had been embezzling from them.
Facts!
@genorp You are CORRECT.
genorp, you are correct. I actually just learned that fact myself only a year ago, or so, and was surprised by the actual meaning of the song.
doesn't matter what it's about, it's music, it's whatever it is to the listener.
Paul Carrack is a legend. Every band he sings in is phenomenal.
70's easy listening music. I heard this so much on the radio as a kid.
I know right?
Me too.
Could not remember it until it started playing and I immediately started singing along !😎
My parents listened to 70s music in the 90s and I heard this all the time as well lol
Yep
Anything by the band AMBROSIA! Talk about killer harmonies....you will LOVE David Pack's voice...BET!
Yeah... I especially like "Holding on to Yesterday"
Check out David Pack's (Ambrosia's lead singer) "Just Can't Let Go" backed up by James Ingram and the great Michael McDonald!! Fantastic!!! Love y'all!! We live about 20 miles from the Red River in Bowie Texas!
I concur. Great suggestion.
Definitely. I can’t believe you haven’t done Ambrosia yet. Biggest Part Of Me is the most popular.
Word
1974 was a great year for music and this proves it this feels good.
Paul Carrack was in the touring band headlined by Eric Clapton in 2014 (This song came out in 1975). Eric introduces him and they breakout into "How Long". Serious respect from Slowhand.

I saw Paul Carrack play in Roger Waters band, 1988 or 89, in Atlanta, GA.
Never knew that. Thx
Some of the best bands clearly valued that voice
Did not know any of this. Great info. Thanks. Also, wow, some talent, Peter Carrack.
The singer’s name is Paul Carrack. I once read in an interview he stated he’d written “How Long” and it was about his bass player playing in another band while still playing with Ace. He was also a member of the band Mike and the mechanics.

I ABSOLUTELY ENTIRELY AGREE.
anybody's top 20 will have a Paul Carrack track in it.
My personal favourite
IN THE LIVING YEARS.
@@tompickles9798 yeah, that's a great song Tom. I'd hafta say it would be a toss up between that one and Tempted
Beautiful great voice 😅
I’m telling you guys, “How Much I Feel” by Ambrosia… I know I’ve said it a lot in these comments, but it’s SUCH a great song, and you guys will love the twist in the lyrics.
Seconded, that song is amazing. My mom used to listen to that band on repeat when I was a little kid.
Great choice!
Totally agree! Knowing how much Jordan and Amber appreciate good harmonies, they will absolutely DIG "How Much I Feel."
Only if you want to cry😭
Yeeasssssssssss
Ace - How Long
Squeeze - Tempted
Mike & The Mechanics - The Living Years
Mike & The Mechanics - Silent Running
Mike & The Mechanics - Over my Shoulder
Paul Carrack - When You Walk in the Room
Paul Carrack - Eyes of Blue
Paul Carrack - Dedicated
“How Long” is often the closing song in Paul Carrack’s concerts. Last 10 years he often played in the Netherlands with his band.
Quite an impressive resume.
Yes!!!!!💚💚💚
Great Paul carrack list
Yes! Hit some more of these. You'll thank yourselves 😀
And anything from his Suburban Voodoo album. I wore out the album in college and had to replace it. "I Need You" might be a good song to check out because it's classic smooooooth Paul Carrack. So Right, So Wrong is great, too.

Please! Do Cool Night! One of my all time favorite songs
Those are some great selections!
1974 release date
Wish u guys would give the group “Bread” a try. Beautiful harmonies and vocals. Thank you peace ✌️
Has to be If - fantastic song

David Gates had the most beautiful voice

America “Ventrura Highway” please give this 70’s folk rock band a try 🙏🏼
or Horse with No name?
or Sister Golden Hair
America is a fabulous band and a favorite.
One of my all time favorites luv this we had the great music ❤
Definitely one of my favourite songs from the seventies!
I'm 61 so I know the song well. An awesome song way back in '74 and still just as good in 2022!
Since that was Ace's only hit, here are three other one-hit wonders from the 70's to consider:
"Rock the Boat" by The Hues Corporation
"Magic" by Pilot
"Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by Edison Lighthouse
Pilot weren’t a one hit wonder in the Uk. In fact their hit January reached No1 whereas Magic reached No 5 in our hit parade.
Oh man, I hate that song Rock the Boat for the simple reason that on the rare occasions we could listen to the radio in boot camp, this song was always playing!
Where'd you get the notion to request Rock the Boat???
I would trade "Rock the Boat" for Dancing in the Moonlight by King Harvest
@@NobodySpecial512 They've already done that song.
Paul Carrack is a treasure - he co-sings lead on Tempted by Squeeze, sang co-lead in Mike & the Mechanics (that's him on In the Living Years which I think you reviewed already), had a major solo hit with Don't Shed a Tear, and also was in Roxy Music for a time - super talented vocalist who doesn't get enough credit - so glad you appreciate him!
Paul’s had another solo hit with Live By The Groove. With the Mechanics there’s also Silent Running and Taken In.
@@MechaJoezilla Paul Young sang Taken In.
Another solo track and beautiful ballad by Paul Carrack is called “Eyes Of Blue”
My guess is, the guitar is through a Leslie cabinet, normally used with a Hammond organ. The speakers inside the cab rotate and the rate of rotation can be increased or decreased with a switch.

Elvin Bishop - Fooled Around and Fell in Love - live on Midnight Special
I remember hearing this on the radio in the '70s....memories, feelings.
It is one of my favorites due to the beautiful harmonies. Can't get enough of it.
Listen to Carack's voice in "Living years", he gives a master class in soul, restraint, phrasing intonation every time he opens his mouth.
I'm so glad younger generations are learning how much incredible music their "goofy old parents" had in THEIR day! 🎵 "Nana, nana boo boo, we had more than you do"! 🎶 🤣
Yep.... 😂
I think I was 18 or so when this came out, now I just turned 72, time flies when your having fun!

This was technically pre-Disco, therefore not likely to be influenced by the Bee Gees. Good song! Love your reactions!
Bee Gees started in the 60s -pre disco also
Disco started in the early 7os
@@11dsw Around 1971,but popularized in 1974.
I was fortunate to be born in the 60s and listen to FM radio of the 70s and 80s. Pure talent!
Carrack’s voice, the harmonies, and that bass line. Spectacular song.
One of my all-time favorites! I loved it in high school (circle 1974) and I love it now!
It was such a surprise to see that you listened to "How Long" and "Smoke from a Distant Fire" on the same day. It's like you read my mind.

This song is actually about the bass player. He was playing with another band at this time, if you can believe THAT?!?!?!
Perhaps one of the best songs to come out of the 70's. One Hit Wonder that never gets old.
This has a Philly Soul vibe. I pick up Billy Paul's "Me and Mrs. Jones".
They need to listen to "Me and Mrs. Jones". I suggested it recently and hope they'll see any other requests for it, too.
I like hearing Daryl Hall sing it, too. Daryl's "Philly Mood" is a favorite.
I wish they would give "Me and Mrs. Jones" a try.
I put them on the
"Blue - Eyed Soul" list.
Bee Gess got their later 70's sound from Ace!

One of my favorite songs for the past 46 years. As well as “10cc -I’m Not In Love”
Senior year in high school was a great year for music 1975
Now you need to hit up Tempted by Squeeze, which is Paul Carrack's greatest vocal performance song ever, an absolute classic.
Mike and the Mechanics "Silent Running" was his swansong in my honest opinion....
Check out "So into You" by Atlanta rhythm section. Another smooth jam like this one.
You've heard this voice before. Paul Carrack was the lead singer of the Mike and the Mechanics song "the Living Years."
Wasn’t he in Genesis?
@@danielkren3958 Mike Rutherford was in Genesis
Good memories for me! This song was on the radio all the time back in my teenage years in the 70’s. 😉

“Lunatic Fringe” by Red Rider. Great tune from the “Vision Quest” movie soundtrack from the mid-80’s.
I will shamelessly admit, that's a great soundtrack album.
The man with the golden voice, Mr. Paul Carrack.
One of the few artists that sounds better the older he gets. His voice ages like a fun wine.
On this song, it is all about the bass...even the reason why it was written.
Bass player flirting with another band
One of my favorite songs of all time!
Another vote for Tempted by Squeeze.
Great song!
OMG the songs you forgot and bring you right back to a very specific time. I am time travelling right now. Big smile. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.
This song was written because their bass guitarist was stepping out with another band, and was thinking about leaving this one for the other band. Word got around and this song was written about his actions. The bassist didn't know the song was about him at this time they're making the video or singing the song.
This is probably one of my all time favorite songs.Such a great vibe.Thanks for the reaction.Glad I grew up in the 70's.
Ya'll need to check out Ambrosia, they have great harmonies.
Been listening to this song since it was released. Still listen on my phone all the time. Great then Great now. Glad to see you guys enjoyed this one. 70s 80s yes.
This is 1974…before disco. It’s definitely before the Bee Gee’s became popular.
Luv this iconic
Darryl Hall and John Oats would have killed this song.
I could picture them doing it.
A masterpiece ! Great seventies when I was 20 in 1975 !
Yes, please do "How Much I Feel" by Ambrosia.
Awesome 70s tune !! Smooth vibe for sure, great memories 😎

Paul is one of those guys that just never got over. He sang with Ace, Squeeze, Mike and the Mechanics, and a lot of solo stuff, but could just never really break through. One of the smoothest voices of the time though.
The next songs:
How much I Feel by Ambrosia and Miracles by Jefferson Starship
I bet chill everytime I here this ... GREW UP IN 70'S ... LUCKY ME .....
If you guys like this lead singer's voice, you should check out the song "Tempted" by the band Squeeze. He sings lead and it is a real ear worm of a song---in a good way!
This is a great song! Sound of the 70s, one I grew up with! It was released in 1974.
Time to introduce you to some Alan Parsons Project. "Time" is probably my favorite, but "Sirius/Eye in the Sky" is probably a good first choice. Sirius is the musical intro to Eye in the Sky. Bonus points to Jay if he recognizes Sirius, if not he is not a real sports fan. Also really like "Don't answer me" and "Wouldn't want to be like you".
Love some APP. Sirius/Eye in the Sky is one of my favourites. Also love Games People Play - great tune, great vocals and GREAT guitar solo. Silence & I would be a great tune for Jay and Amber too with it’s crazy orchestral arrangements!
Yes! Love Alan Parsons Project, and "Sirius/Eye in the Sky" is a good choice for a first listen. I discovered them through "I, Robot" but I don't know if they're ready for that.
Don't Let It Show from that album was incredible. 1977
Wow… straight outta my childhood… great song!!! 🔥🔥🥰🤘
When I think back through the decades where I grew up, it’s amazing the amount of absolutely tremendous music we had… I mean we loved her music but after living all these years and seeing what’s going forward it is the best of the best
Check out this guy -Paul Carrack-singing with the group Squeeze- the song Tempted. Such soul- and the voice!!
We need some more Journey and Foreigner
This is
ONE
of the greatest songs ever.
This song came out in 1974 when I was 16 tears old. I love these memories.
They are awesome . I think you might like England Dan and John Ford Coley. They had a whole lot of hits. Kind you close your eyes and just enjoy
