was 16 or 17 when this heavenly bomb dropped and have loved it ever since... we used to do the "bump" to it at high sch dances. Paul Carrack is a PHENOM in the music world and a stellar human. LOVE HIM
I’m 65, will be 66 in two weeks. I was in the Air Force stationed at Torrejon AB, just outside of Madrid Spain when this song was released by Ace. As most young GI’s, a nice stereo system was as vital as air. When I got this album, I wore it out playing it over and over. This song brought all of that back.
Still one of the best live performers I’ve ever seen. Do yourself a favour and make sure you get tickets next time he’s at venue near by. You will not be disappointed.
The guy has been around a long long time now , to an extent your correct, so widely respected by other artists, always the guy who could fit into band , very versatile. Iv always liked him , seen him several times and will again in a few weeks time , in short he is a musicians musician, Very nice guy too 👍
He is the musician’s musician. So many great musicians wanted to work with him, and he showed up on so many projects that he made better for being involved with them.
He got too much soul ( as if there's such a thing) But us Brothers and sisters LOOOVE THIS GUY. For years I used to brag he was black ... Serious compliment and HEAR THAT HARMONY.. THE BANDS BACK UP WAS BACK IN CHURCH. My dad preached so I was there with them haha. Thank you for posting this God-bless you.....
Thank you Paul. This one of the best songs ever written. It sounds as great today as it did in the 70s. You are still an awesome singer. Always loved this, and still do. Thanks again for bringing so much pleasure to our lives with your music. Love you man.
The guy in the background with the black shirt and white vest, black hair, well his smile is infectious. He makes me happy!!! Love this performance by all those involved!!
You bet it is. Man I'm so glad that guys like these are still around to let the younger folks no just how blessed we were in the seventies and eighties music Era. Enjoy young folks!
Paul you made it in the living room at the very best. Seeing so many people of different age being unite in happiness singing along this great song makes we wish to be there with you. I love this song since I heard the first time more than 45 years ago...simply amazing.
I love his version with Eric Clapton but this is much more intimate...wish I'd been there, I'd have been singing on the top of my really bad voice.. Paul is so talented
I'm a R&B Trumpet player who just happens to be Caucasian. I'd love to back you up my man. You are so good. I listen to this song at least 5 times a day. The beat is awesome! God Bless/Take Care/Stay Safe! Michael!✌👍
Discovered this songs accidentally when listening to rocks and classics. Now it's like a melody in mind when anything suspicious comes up, I sing out loud how long.😅
Paul Carrack has appeared on many other artists recordings over the years...his voice is so adaptable to just about any kind of music...multi talented on so many levels. I've always had the impression Paul never wanted to be pigeon holed musically and prefers intimate settings for his performances...what a gift he remains to all music lovers. I have his CD's programed into my IPod and blast the shit out of them while driving...my favorites "Sleep On It"..."Eyes of Blue"..."Let Me Love Again"...I could go on and on.... absolutely adore the sounds of Paul Carrack.
up to 236,205 views, and I must have contributed at least 50+ of these. I just love this version and Oh what a band. This single video clip got me seriously into Paul Carrack. What a talent. Live music at it's best. Love the little girls smile at 3.28. Watch a true artist at work with her Dad, just loving the moment.
this bloke is tops. seen him a few times and every time he is off the dial. this song take me to a time 50 years ago when i went to football matches with my long departed dad. RIP Harry Alfred Snr xxx
I just listened to a bunch of versions of this song. I LOVE the use of organ in this one. And Paul Carrack sounds better than he did when younger. Real talent! And the sound is pretty good being played in someone's house. :-)
Back in 1987, i was working at WKZL, Winston-Salem....Paul Carrack dropped by as he was promoting his new song "dont shed a tear". I had a chance to spend a while with him....incredibly SUPER NICE guy!! What a stellar singer too.
When you see a band light up, smiles and enjoyment of the music all around and settle in the groove of a classic pop track, maybe one of the best ever.
this is one of the greatest songs ever - and I was so fortunate to have a sing along with Paul and Paul Jones when they were both touring in Manfred Mann many year ago in Australia - I will never forget that night !
In 2022, still one of the best songs ever written.
Agree
Can't argue. It is a timeless, brilliant, melodic gem
Still sounds the same as when first recorded the man's voice just gets better with age
Take note kids this is what real music and musicians sound like 👌🏻
Still my number 1 favorite song and I'm 67👍❤😎
Funny how, while the lyrics are sad, everybody is so happy to join in to the singing. It's the power of music and Paul Carrack just nailed it.
It’s about a former band member moonlighting with another band behind their backs with intent to leave. It’s not about infidelity like most believe.
@@RickStamler Ah, interesting. Didn't know that.

70's......How Long
80's......Tempted
90's......Over My Shoulder
Three timeless classics all sung by one man.
Awesome. I'm 63 and I feel it's been a part of my life forever.
I’m 65, will be 66 in two weeks. I was in the Air Force stationed at Torrejon AB, just outside of Madrid Spain when this song was released by Ace.

Thankyou god for making me born in 1960.
The music has been incredible........up to 1986.😅
Me too 😁 also born in 1960 Soo blessed!
Still one of the coolest songs ever. Forever relevant.
Stephen Carpenteri And now that Amazon Prime thinks so, everyone is hearing it! I hope Paul got a huge pay day!
Excelente
Still one of the best live performers I’ve ever seen. Do yourself a favour and make sure you get tickets next time he’s at venue near by. You will not be disappointed.
His voice is perfect and always has been. Love this song from day one !!
Kenn den Song 30 Jahre und länger, hör ich immer mal wieder gerne,ne tolle Nummer halt!👍😊
Damn good song,no matter how many times you listen to it. It always sounds great!
Paul carrack one of the best kept secrets in music. He has never got the recognition he deserves FACT
ABSOLUTELY!
The guy has been around a long long time now , to an extent your correct, so widely respected by other artists, always the guy who could fit into band , very versatile.

He is the musician’s musician. So many great musicians wanted to work with him, and he showed up on so many projects that he made better for being involved with them.
Agreed,Paul Carrack is great,”don’t shed a tear”was a great song.
He got too much soul ( as if there's such a thing)
But us Brothers and sisters LOOOVE THIS GUY.
For years I used to brag he was black ...
Serious compliment and HEAR THAT HARMONY..
THE BANDS BACK UP WAS BACK IN CHURCH. My dad preached so I was there with them haha. Thank you for posting this God-bless you.....

A gem of a post ! How come I've only just seen this? Thankyou for putting this up. Love and life are what matter most, regardless of colour or creed.
The guy in the background with the black shirt and white vest, black hair, well his smile is infectious. He makes me happy!!! Love this performance by all those involved!!
you are so right.... he was the biggest fan of PC and it wa his greatest joy to sing with him
Too bad that he passed away a few years ago
You bet it is. Man I'm so glad that guys like these are still around to let the younger folks no just how blessed we were in the seventies and eighties music Era. Enjoy young folks!
Paul Carrack could sing lyrics using the phone Book and it would sound fantastic. Pure Talent! His band is terrific too!
I tend to agree with you!
THANK YOU!!!
Farinadog13 So very, very true. He’s the man! I’ve loved his voice for as long as I can remember.
Whats a phone book ?
You be funny as....
Paul you made it in the living room at the very best. Seeing so many people of different age being unite in happiness singing along this great song makes we wish to be there with you. I love this song since I heard the first time more than 45 years ago...simply amazing.
ABSOLUTE TIMELESS CLASSIC ,,,THATS HOW LONG,,,JUST LOVELY

Großartig - Ihr, die Band, das Ambiente, sound, und die Möglichkeit so musik zu machen !!! Danke!!!!!
❤
Hope you're still enjoying and sharing this rare gem of a performance. I wish you well
When I win the lottery I want Paul to sing in my living room. WOW Fantastic.
He is a real Human > perhaps not SO expensiv!!
@@fpso3936 Just buy him a Sheffield Wednesday season ticket and he'll do it!
This has to be one of the coolest songs ever written
I love his version with Eric Clapton but this is much more intimate...wish I'd been there, I'd have been singing on the top of my really bad voice.. Paul is so talented
There are very few that can still do it...he is one
Been following this amazing voice and talent from Ace...to Squeeze...to Mike & the Mechanics. So many years & memories.
I'm a R&B Trumpet player who just happens to be Caucasian. I'd love to back you up my man. You are so good. I listen to this song at least 5 times a day. The beat is awesome! God Bless/Take Care/Stay Safe! Michael!✌👍
WOW- take care! Don't overheat ;-)
All timeeeeeee, favorite, what a song,, along with his other gems, greatest voice,,,
Discovered this songs accidentally when listening to rocks and classics. Now it's like a melody in mind when anything suspicious comes up, I sing out loud how long.😅
WHAT A ROCKING. BAND AND GREAT SINGING ....WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR ???
THANK YOU!!!!!
An extremely talented man

His voice is TIMELESS!
If I could have attended this performance live, that would have "made my life".
Every audience member knows something special is happening.
This is the best version ever, Paul has a great perfomance and this characteristic voice, simply amazing, for me world music heritage.
An overlooked singer & musician!
One of my all time favorites
For mi too
Would loved to have been Martin's neighbor when this jam was happening!
so cool that you've been there!
One of my favourite tracks from Paul carrack 👍
Absolutely fantastic superb what a song
When somethin comes from the heart , it lasts forever ....Long live !
Memories. A true classic. Tank you Paul.
I bought this as a single back in the 70s when he fronted Ace. Brilliant? You bet.
This was the song for ALL of the bands from Exeter to include in their set. What pure talent. We owe you so much Mr. Carrick.
Esta versión de How Long es la que más me gusta, por ser en vivo y en un ambiente muy intimista. TREMENDA BANDA, TREMENDAS LAS CUATRO VOCES DEL CORO
It can go on forever!
You really must see this man & his band in concert, utterly superb
Great song - a Classic ...you performed it like hearing it for the first time...
Lovely song Paul. Very honest, emotional. Love it 🖖😬
Oh my god, those backing vocals are picked directly from heaven...
YOU SO MUCH!!! I will tell my mates!!!!❤️
They are smoking.😀
From the album Ace - Five A Side, awesome song!!!
I just listened to a bunch of versions of this song. I LOVE the use of organ in this one. And Paul Carrack sounds better than he did when younger. Real talent! And the sound is pretty good being played in someone's house. :-)
a b9ig THANK YOU from the organ player 😄😄😄
One of the best singers around 😀👍
Best Song of the World.
I always thought this was done by a "soul" group here in the U.S. One thing is true: they got a lot of soul!
it was..this is a cover.
@@innis52carra didn't you hear him say it was the first song he wrote. It was a hit for Ace.. his band. Anything done in America was a cover
this is real music, soooo beautiful
jaaaaaaaaa
Saw ACE at the Greyhound Hammersmith 1972/3. Loved it then,still do...
One of my favourite songs sung by a brilliant musician. Good job that bass player did the dirty on you otherwise it would never have been written. ❤
Simply Fantastic
See Paul yearly with his band except this one Awesome Talent.
I would love to see Paul at Daryls house .They would so compliment each other.Paul Carrick /Daryl Hall would so rock!
Back in 1987, i was working at WKZL, Winston-Salem....Paul Carrack dropped by as he was promoting his new song "dont shed a tear". I had a chance to spend a while with him....incredibly SUPER NICE guy!! What a stellar singer too.
Great vocals and super band backing up, one of the greatest artists in the world.
The drummers really gets into the song, amazing how talented.
When you see a band light up, smiles and enjoyment of the music all around and settle in the groove of a classic pop track, maybe one of the best ever.
so true!!
this is one of the greatest songs ever - and I was so fortunate to have a sing along with Paul and Paul Jones when they were both touring in Manfred Mann many year ago in Australia - I will never forget that night !
Anyone with aspirations in the music business , Watch and inwardly digest . (*__*) just different class
Thank you!
Paul is the man !
hahaha
Paul for president!
Excellent version and excellent audio quality! Great arrangement and beautiful backup vocals :-) Thx for posting this!
thank you so much! we had a BLAST!!!
Two Pauls-seen them both live. Carrack and Rodgers-best rock voices ever
Brilliant...audience participation....top notch❤
The perfect song! Some songs are just perfection and this is one of them!!
This is a really nice break from all the virus hysteria.
Amem to that

Yes, you are totally right! Here in Brazil we have a doctor who called "fraudemic" this hysterical pandemic....
this was real Paul Carrack! thank you!
Great song 👏👏👏👏👏👏
