The 70s music will put you on another planet that no one will understand unless you have a love of the 70s music. You don't need drugs or alcohol to appreciate the best music ever. God....take me back to the 70s and leave me there....I'll be just fine.
Class of 1976 here. My obituary will include how fortunate I was to have grown up in the 1970's listening to the best rock bands in history and driving American made muscle cars. My first car was a 1969 Dodge Charger.
This song and his voice always puts me iin a nostalgic, contemplative mood and brings a deep longing for my late husband who grew up in Southern Calif in the 40s, 50s; Calif and countrys best days IMO.
I was very young when he was on tv in Spain, he was on tv a lot, I think. I remember falling in love with his music, but also his smile and happy twinkle in his eyes… only 10 yo and had such a crush on him! Still have 😂❤❤
Like DB below here said, A LOT of young men followed similar dreams ok n route to California. As for me? I wanted to continue my career in music out West. However despite being able to make a living as an instrumentalist in the East Coast? The music business didn't hold similar opportunities like we had back East. In fact there are few traveling bands making a living as compared to say Boston, New York, Florida and New Orleans. So I largely failed. It's okay to have dreams but one needs to find a way to survive. I did keep going with my music but not on Ann every day job. Eventually became happier making money in construction. As it offered my own hours and better pay.
Wow, admirable live performance. Really nice to see. A personal fave; and let's not forget, he co-wrote "The Air That I Breathe" . Talented bloke. If everyone in the world has already gone on at length about "Air", I apologize.
This brings so memories back ...I had just moved from Southern California to Denver Colorado and longed for the warm southern California life and beaches...Denver began to grown on me later but so missed California.
damn i met this song when i came out of my house, and i was too far from it, cuz i went to the university. And i played this song every day that i was far form my house. sad days, cuz was the first time that i was far from my parents. now, 7 years after that. working online, living with my parents. and play this song makes me remember those days. thx hammond ♥
Misheard these lyrics my whole life... Imagine a little kid hearing, "But girl don't they warn ya, that boys marry boys!" I thought he was having a go at hippies from culture shock
Como amo essa música me lembra tantos acontecimentos da minha vida me da uma saudade de não sei o que ela é o toque do meu celular e consegue contagiar a todos à mínha volta
Happy Birthday Albert Hammond born on May 18, 1944. he is a British-Gibraltarian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He is also a solo singer in his own right. His biggest (and only top 20) U.S. Billboard hit was "It Never Rains in Southern California", No. 5 in 1972. Other songs of his include "Down by the River", "The Free Electric Band", "I'm a Train", and "When I'm Gone". For a time, he was part of the Family Dogg, a vocal group with whom he had the hit "A Way of Life". He has also produced for a number of other artists. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Hammond
Great song, Albert, mate.... It has come as a great massive relief : 3 days of downpours now in LA -- which have mercifully put out half of the savage uncontained wildfire infernos.....

They don't write songs like this anymore. (or produce, fir that matter).

I grew up with this kind of music, the best times.

Made history as a writer, producer and arranger. But he turned out to have a most pleasent voice as well.
WHAT A GREATTTTTT SONG. IT BRING BACK GOOD OLD DAYS
I have performed this song myself on many occasions. Never good enough to quit my day job...
One of the very best songwriters ever! Thanks Mr. Albert Hammond for all 🎶❤️🎶

I understand how you feel. Sorry for your sad loss 🙏🏻❤️
Muy. Buenas. Canciones. Las. De. Los. A nos. 60y. 70. Q. Anos. Maravillosos.

Love this song, makes me feel young again
I couldn't help thinking of this song today (1/9/25).
What a beautiful song, it makes me cry that a boy went on an adventure and apparently did not realize his dreams, no success, no money and no love
Story of my life

I was born in 1965, and this song is such a part of my childhood.
I wish the 70's could remain...What bad music today.
Sie müssten für immer bleiben😊
He has a very brilliantly controlled voice ❤️❤️
Drop dead gorgeous too. LOL.
Great song and performance. He looks so happy singing
He knows he has a hit on his hands
Just amazing song and outstanding live performance!

"Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" and "When I Need You", as well.
Also co-wrote To All the Girls I've Loved Before and When I Need You

Love this song
Omg haven't heard this song in many many years, 70s maybe
Maravilloso y siempre genial Albert Hammond
His live vocal, just kind of hanging out there in space, sounds really great here.
Hermoso!! Muyyyy🥰Loviuuuuuuuforeverr!!
❤
❤❤❤❤❤
A handsome man!!!❤
Absolutely excellent!
I actually prefer this live singing version to the lush studio background vocals.
yeah, great job by Albert, eh? Really wonderful.
Not sure it's live. I hear drums, I see a drum set, but nobody is playing it.
I'd say the vocals are live, singing over a backing track.
i miss that beautiful choir !
Muy gratos recuerdos de este 1974
Cuando anduve en Baja California Norte , San Isidro y San Diego
I JUST LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEE THIS SONG IT BRINGS ME THE BLUE AO DAI.
Mind máig imádom.
1:18 the emotion
El mejor tema de este emblematico cantante y compositor
Ay nooo, me mueroooooooooo!!

I never realized how much his son looks like him
I thought this is him but back in 1975?
Esta musica é à realidade do momento como chove na Califórnia!!!

Mi infancua. Fui genio
Sos divinooo.
Como amo essa música me lembra tantos acontecimentos da minha vida me da uma saudade de não sei o que ela é o toque do meu celular e consegue contagiar a todos à mínha volta
I remember when this song was on the Radio. Talent. Not like most of what the music producers have been pushing for the last 20y.

Verygood handsomman for me
It never rains in Southern California?? It’s pouring today January 16, 2019!!
That's good!!
If you listen to the lyrics..He finally sings that it Pours, Man it Pours.
Clearly if you listen to song its not about rain? It's about broken dreams of many chasing acting life in CA
It’s a metaphor
It's not about the rain. It is about broken dreams.
☺️❤️
👍🏼
Great song, Albert, mate.... It has come as a great massive relief : 3 days of downpours now in LA -- which have mercifully put out half of the savage uncontained wildfire infernos.....
terrific ..
Such a fine Spanish composer and singer from Gibraltar!
British Gibraltarian NOT Spanish! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Hammond
