- I decided it was time to show Lilly The Rubettes, Sugar Baby Love, and yes of course it was Paul Da Vinci who sang the high notes, not who I said. Not sure what I was thinking.
Remember them well - I was 18 that year and although you don't realise at the time, was having the time of my life. Great days.
My very best wishes Lilly - may you have a long and happy life and keep up the good work.
Rubettes super zespol lat 70-tych czasy glam rocka fajne melodyjne piosenki magia pozdrawiam !
This was my favourite song in 1974.
I only understood the part 'sugar babylove' but I was only four.
Hiya Steve and Lilly 👋🤩 great to see you guys back, and wow this is one of my favourite songs from the 70s. I also remember hearing it being played at quite a few wedding receptions in the late 70s / 80s when i was a kid and it was a total floor filler. The background music is brilliant and i love the bell chime bits. I didn't know that guy didn't actually sing it, that came as a surprise. I absolutely love the footage from German TV, love how they're all dressed and yep there is some dodgy fashions there. I love to watch music reactions from German, Dutch and Italian audiences because you can see they really love the music. Great video guys, i really enjoyed this and i totally love the song 💜
Nice to see you back Ajay, I noticed your absence. 😄
@@Lilly8Listens Aww thanks Steve 👍i honestly didn't realise i had missed so many videos 👀 but i'm really enjoying catching up with them all. I could listen to this song over and over, i really really like it a lot, reminds me of all the good times we had in the 70s as kids🤩long sunny days, great tv shows, great music and awesome carefree days 🌞👍
I was in my failing grade 12. But I already had a growing collection of vinyl.
I supported Paul Da Vinci twice in Cabaret. He is a great guy, and he told me this paid off his mortgage.
I wonder if he ever did Butlins? years ago I was at Butlins and the show one night was some bloke who's name I didn't recognise at the time, but who sang Sugar Baby Love, he was so bloody good that I was absolutely convinced that it was the original singer, although I never took the time to find out for certain. That was back in the days when you could see some well known acts at Butlins, three others I definitely saw were Mud, George M'crea, and Gerry and the Pacemakers. In fact I can still remember Gerry Marsden putting his hand on my young daughters head as we were walking down the stairs on the way out and saying to her "Hello little girl" She grew up to be Lilly's mum.
I listen to this song every once in awhile, the vocal is remarkable. Don't feel cheated Lilly with a lip synchronized song,( so many are,) from the seventies and back. Particularly on television.
You looked like you enjoyed it, Grand dad was sure happy showing this to you. Great reaction. You both enjoy your day.
A Do-Wop throwback, I loved that era. Great tune......happy sound, happy time,.....well done even 40 yrs later.
50 years!!!
@@keithclark6299 lol, yeah 50. My 74 yr old mind starting to go...ouch.
The music then was so much fun Slade Trex Bowie Elton john etc.
Alan Williams did record a vocal track with him singing the high notes but he was miming to his own vocal on the live recording whereas It was Paul Da Vinici on the original record. I got this info from "Wings Of Pegasus " blogger.
Yeh his name was Paul Da Vinci. I think I said De Ville. close though. 😄
I've just watched this, it's so interesting (think I'm a complete geek!) Seems like they are both really nice guys, pleased that they've both had successful careers.
Great band with great tunes back when music was good.
Great reaction. A real blast from the past! I remember this when I was younger than Lilly is now! About 5 or 6, I think. The clothes were very much of their time. They always remind me of Mud, who are best known for their hit, 'Tiger Feet.' Then, there's always Showaddywaddy, who had quite a few hits in the 70's, including, 'Under the Moon of Love', and, 'You Got What It Takes.'
I've shown Lilly Tiger Feet, it's on here somewhere.
Watching this one again, love this song and your reactions to it 🎵🎵💜💜🎵🎵
And you get two songs for the price of one.
Watching this one again, this is one of my favourite reaction videos that you guys have done and this is defo my favourite song from the 70s, I love it! I love the second part to the video where you see everyone clapping to the music, brilliant vibes 🎵🎵💜💜🎵🎵🤩👍
Thank you both, it is amazing to see you mentor her with these great songs of my youth. 1974 was when this one came out, and I was 12 wondering how he hit those high notes, then came the Bee Gees (they were the best and from the Isle of Mann as well). Never the less, I do enjoy your reactions, Lilly and her sister both are becoming very knowledgeable with our music history, GREAT JOB!!!
Thank you Bruce.
Never heard before but I like it.
Dude can reach the rafters.
It's like he is singing directly to Lilly. LOL!
My favourite song of 1974. When i tell people that they kinda laugh. But i think its great and so uplifting.
Well if I didn't like it, I wouldn't have shown it to Lilly, I quite like I can do it, and Jukebox Jive too.
I was 12 when this song was released. I remember going to the junior disco at a local community hall and dancing to it. I'm glad Lilly liked it. It's great that she is being introduced to the music from past decades.
May I suggest a few she may like...
Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush
Happy Together by The Turtles
Pretty Flamingo by Manfred Mann
Love Grows by Edison Lighthouse
Everlasting Love by Love Affair
Those last two are among my favourite songs of all time.
I'm not a great fan of Wuthering Heights, but I like all the 60's songs you've mentioned, I'm sure I could show her some of those.
Hello both. Not 1 of my favourite groups but still very listenable.
Foot has to tap ha ha .
Listening to the 2014 performance, you'd be forgiven for thinking its a recorded playback of the original from 1974!
It's identical to how it sounds often played on our local radio station.
Yeh that's definitely the original recording playing, as I said, Alan Williams can't hit the same high notes.
Juke box jive was good too. Just like we did in 1955.
The original singer has quite a range...a new song to me as well
You need to watch the reactuon by Pegasus he analyzes both recordings by Paul & Allan. He shows both men are very simiplar but Paul was actually on the original recording (I think he means the album) but wasn't supposed to be. However, on the tv recording of Allan singing this song, Allan had pre recorded the song and is miming to his own voice/recording. Go & have a watch
I will.
Takes me back a while.
😊😊😊
this is nice that you show this but look on you tube you can find a lot concerts where alan williams sings sugar baby love life all the other songs are life juke box jive. etc. they still perform life alan williams is a great singer instruments. a capella. only with his guitar. voice look on you tube and you can find a lot theire. even now after 50 years he is still performing. whole concerts. other members. but good. but nice video.😊
I must confess, I’ve never heard of this song before Lilly, must have been a one hit wonder, and my friend please pay tribute to the late singer Melanie who recently passed away, one of her biggest hits were Brand New Key, and Lay Down
They had a few hits Philip, but not many, their other two biggest hits were "I Can Do It" and "Jukebox Drive"
And yes, sad news about Melanie, I remember a couplle of her songs from the early 70's, Brand New Key, and Look What they've done to my song Ma.
@@Lilly8Listens her song Lay Down was about her experiences at the Woodstock Festival in 1969, where she performed
@@Lilly8Listens Jukebox Jive
Paul Da Vinci was the original singer when 'Sugar Baby Love' was recorded and released. Da Vinci decided not to join the The Rubettes. Da Vinci later had a minor hit as a solo artist in the 1970s with a song called 'Your Baby Ain't Your Baby Anymore.' He sang a similar falsetto throughout the song as to that on 'Sugar Baby Love.'
I'll have to find that and give it a listen.
Paul Da Vinci, I think I said Da Ville. I'm old.😀
You're right, it is the same drummer.
The band are dressed like The Great Gatsby.
Germans have always been thirty years behind in fashion.
Well in their defence, it was a 70's nostalgia show. Glad you watched it that far though. 😄
Welcome back!
When this came on Top of The Pops, my mum said "He'll split his pants singing like that!"
I was 10 and remember it every time I hear this.
No one knows why they had 2 pianos!
I posted on X that this was simultaneously the worst and greatest pop song ever made. The bloke who wrote the song, liked it, retweeted it and followed me 😀
The real singer was Paul Da Vinci.
Yes that's right, not sure how I came out with Paul Da, Ville. 😄😄
voice of Paul da Vinci ...and not the voice of Alan williams ^^
Poor Lilly... subjecting her to this once would have been bad enough, but you did it twice! No way Lilly could have been so naughty as to deserve that! So much good music out there but you chose to inflict this drivel on her. The Child Welfare Authorities will probably come after you for this heinous crime. I hope Lilly wasn't too traumatised and she recovers from this ordeal with no recurring nightmares.
Each to their own Ashley, I've probably shown her worse, and knowing what it was, you still clicked on it. 😄😄
@@Lilly8Listens damn... you got me there! 😄
Brilliant song innit 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍
