    The first interracial band from the UK and they were simply fabulous. Musicians have a lesson to teach the world... Music is color blind and people better catch up.

    Such wonderful live footage - the lead singer's pitchiness, oddly enough, is what makes it so special (lovely tone to his voice though). This is real and raw, with actual instruments - just how music should be - unlike today's fake autotune ...

      Live vocals over a pre-recorded backing track. Very hard to sing to (or for the musicians to mime to!) with very low volume "fold-back" in the studio. Not surprising he's a little pitchy!

    • @sdovas
      @sdovas 2 месяца назад

      Standard on this & many other TV shows of the time was a prerecorded isolated musical track over which the vocalists would sing live before the cameras. Awkward at best, may explain what you're describing you hear.

    This was the music I recall listening to on pub juke -boxes when I was in my first year, legally to be served by the bar.
    The Foundations were a wonderful example of the vast amount of hits at the time that still get plenty of airtime today.
    The 1965 to 1980 was a lucky time to live in the UK;
    In 1967 when this was in the charts life seemed safer and the future we were told brighter. Who have thought 55 years hence we would have todays complex and unhappy society. While most in this clip now would be well in their 70s, and may look back with pride.
