I agree that this is very much soulful, I knew that from day one! It should have been shipped to US Urban radio. What's even better is that I can hear Junior singing back up during the bridge of the song, another underrated UK Soul singer.
This song is incredibly wonderful, wonderful Fly me to the beautiful days of childhood, this art will not be repeated again, I remember the teachers punished because I hear Kim Wilde during a lesson, good days
I think it's criminal that Kim never did any promotion over here in the U.S. She had a #1 hit in 1987 with "You Keep Me Hangin' On" and did absolutely nothing! No touring (that I'm aware of) or anything. She toured the next year with Michael Jackson but we never hear anything of her over here in the states. This song is one of her more R&B infused songs I think. Nonetheless I love you Kim!
This is my ALL TIME favorite Kim Wilde song, it was **seriously** underrated, it should have been more promoted, and I think it would have been more a lot more successful on the music charts!!!!
Hey, darling...do you know what you're looking for??? I like this song and remember it was a huge hit back in 80's. Kim was perfect in this video and it's one of my favourite pop songs...good job Kim. Thanks a lot.
I really liked Kim's other tracks at 1st as this one is new too me but everytime i hear that "oww darling..." it get me right in my heart - can't stop listning to it!=)
i wish MCA (Universal) will put together Kim Wilde complete "Singles Collection DVD" with Great videos like Who do you think you are, Million Miles Away, If i can't have u, Breakin away, Shame, In My life etc...she was the Queen of the videos without DVD release???
The vocalist you can hear at 02:30 is Junior - remember him? On the album version he sings a few lines at the end of the song, but this was obviously edited out for the single (to make it performable in his absence). He also appeared on another Kim Wilde song, "Another Step", a couple of years earlier.
@scarcastic The reason I said NOT in capitals is because it wasn't from the 80s. The reason I said 'probably' in lowercase is because she released quite a few albums in the 80s. You say Close is overreated but think of all the great hits on there like You Came, Never trust a stranger, Four letter word, Hey M.H., etc. These records will be remembered for years to come. Her earlier stuff like Child come away, The Touch, House of salome, Water on glass etc is also great.
@Jrabc12 If you dig harder, as I did, you'll find a DVD release with the following songs: Kids in America, Chequered Love, Cambodia, View From a Bridge, You Keep Me Hangin' On, Another Step (Closer to You), You Came, Never Trust A Stranger, Four Letter Word, Love is Holy, If I Can't Have You, Say You Really Want Me, Schoolgirl, Million Miles Away, Born To Be Wild.
@scarcastic Listen, I didn't say that you said N&F was from the 80s. I said that N&F wasn't her best album because it WASN'T from the 80s. To put it simply, all the best records she ever did were from the 80s. NOTHING can beat her early new wave type records like Water On Glass, Cambodia, Chequered Love etc followed by her big power pop hits like Rage To Love, You Keep Me hanging On, You Came, Another Step, Never Trust A Stranger. Nothing she did in the 90s compares to these songs.
His name was Jesse Birdsall, and he was in that crap spy series with Craig MacLachlan (Henery Ramsay in Neighbours) and it was called Bugs, absolute shite
@scarcastic To be honest the sound of someone's voice is not the main thing that I look for in a song. I've always been far more interested in the sound and most importantly the melody of the record. For eg. Take a record like Cambodia. Great synthesizers with a catchy melody. It wouldn't matter whether it was Kim Wilde, Debbie Harry or Kate Bush singing it. If the arrangement and sound were EXACTLY the same as KW's version I'd like it just as much. Didn't get songs as good as that in the 90s.
I disagree about unoriginal - in fact, I find songs like this one very distinctive of Kim's style and I can't think of any other song that sounds like this one - having said that, it's not my fave of hers, and one of the weakest on the Closer album, Another Step, for one, was catchier.
I really liked Kim's other tracks at 1st as this one is new too me but everytime i hear that "oww darling..." it gets me right in my heart - can't stop listning to it!=)

Very underrated, unique song - it's still incredibly catchy and cool, all those years later!

Jesse Birdsall - the hunk of the late 80's/early 90's
(for a bit)
i am from 1970,well that`s my music.
The vocalist you can hear at 02:30 is Junior - remember him? On the album version he sings a few lines at the end of the song, but this was obviously edited out for the single (to make it performable in his absence).

Оте унайды...
She's Soo Fine!!!!~!

cool.
Kim Wilde was very incredibly attractive, I often wonder if people just couldnt take that a woman could be so good looking and sing, lol
dose any one know a music video with little angels sitting on a piano from the 90s can't remember its name
@SoundOfZtruth I think you mean Lullaby (Goodnight, My Angel) by Billy Joel.
Isn't that Marcus Tandy from Elorado in the video!!!???
@MrZidan262 прелесть просто
No Hit in Germany - but soooo great! The whole Album was brilliant!
highly underated and not present on the Singles Collection album. Although its from the great Close album (one of my favourites)
you're thinking of Another Step :)
should be a 2013 single !

@thehuffmeister1 thanx for ur reply unfortunately its not the song and the singer is a female not a male .. thanx any way

she spends her time in the garden nowadays
@maalaea yea bad hair in this video some of this 80s hair was oright but some was naff ill agree
His name was Jesse Birdsall, and he was in that crap spy series with Craig MacLachlan (Henery Ramsay in Neighbours) and it was called Bugs, absolute shite
"Close" is definitely her best album! This is nice but probably the least good song on it. Which only goes to show just how fantastic it truly is! :)

@scarcastic Now and Forever is NOT her best album. Her best album is probably 'Close'. If it isn't Close it's definately something she did in the 80s.

Bardzo dziwne (pzrzynajmniej dla mnie) że brak zachwytu po polsku.KIM JEST POPROSTU CUDOWNA!!!!!!!!
80's great music, bad hair. kim is beautiful, but the 80's hair looks like pajamas.
Great song.
Kim's not very good at acting
I really liked Kim's other tracks at 1st as this one is new too me but everytime i hear that "oww darling..." it gets me right in my heart - can't stop listning to it!=)
