    Russell's voice is still just as soaring and flexible as his younger years. It's glorious.

    One of my favourite memories of my dad was sitting together watching Top Of The Pops and howling with laughter at Ron Mael's expressions as he played the keyboard. Sparks are one of the most interesting and criminally neglected outfits....... still going strong after half a century

    Pretty song, and so intended for me. Greatest, yet most underrated band ever. If they were British, they would be as big as the stones and the who etc. Their longevity and brilliance should be celebrated.

    Hello from France . All the talents gathered: melody, phrasing of his voice, humanity, originality of the style of the 2 brothers. What a joy to hear that they will be at the Cannes Festival 2021 with a french musical film, and that a documentary about them will be programmed in cinemas at the end of July 2021 ! Nothing is ever too late ! bravo, bravissimo !

      @@johnwalsh128, and his range has just extended by the years, his voice has deepened at the same time as he still can reach almost as high as in the seventies. I'm not really sure he can take on his own 'Pineapple' in original key nowadays, but the man is to be 71 in October (2019), he is outstanding!!!
      (IF anyone hasn't heard 'Pineapple' yet, do that. And try to reach that note on the word "need"!! It's not for an average person, not even a woman.)
