- Johnny Wakelin (Brighton, 1939) is a British singer.
Wakelin was born in 1939 in Brighton, Sussex. He was discovered on the local singing circuit by Robin Blanchflower, who launched Carl Douglas' career. In 1974, Wakelin got the idea to write a song about a legendary boxing match, The Rumble in the Jungle, between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman that would take place on October 30, 1974 in Zaire. However, the song Black Superman was not a success. However, the follow-up to this song, called In Zaire, became a worldwide success. After this, Wakelin also had a hit with Africa Man.

So eine geile Musik gibt es heutzutage leider nicht mehr! Die Menschen von Heute haben keine Ahnung davon,was gute Musik ist.
Mit Liebe Wissen
La musica di adesso fa pietà e non mi piace per niente. Questa è tutta un'altra cosa.
Eine super Performance. Danke lieber Gott, dass ich die achtziger Jahre miterleben durfte. Eine tolle Zeit.
Super Lied - abgesehen davon, dass es aus den 70ern stammt (1976) ;-)
I first heard the record when I was 15 and now, almost 50 years later, I enjoy listening to the song just as much.👍
Heard it for rhe first time in my sisters car last night !!!!
❤❤❤
Same here! :)
The 70's were much more fun than nowadays
Nonsense!
The 50's were!
The youth nowadays.
❤
the good old times. but sorry, it wasn't completely better. it was different. society was so square
Definitely!
Thanks for my great grandads song to be up he is very proud that people knows his songs in 20th century
Cool!
Hope he mades it through this crazy pandemic! Also the other of this copy of this song has over 6 million views, I hope you didn't tell him only a quarter of a million of people still listen :P

A unique sound back then, almost 50 years ago, still good today
още 50 г ще бъде актуална!
I remember when it first got to No 1 in the UK charts... loved it then... still love it! Fantastic rhythm... fantastic story... fantastic legend! :D
Greetings from Sth Oz... :)
They all manage to look slightly weird, in an undefined sort of way.
I was 10 yrs old wen this came out, I just found this song, forgot all about this use to love this still do
Can't believe I missed this song what a sound
Großartiger Song über den wahrscheinlich legendärsten Boxkampf der Sportgeschichte.
Браво Џони, добра песма и добар ритам никад не остари. Сви извођачи су супер. Поздрав из 2023.године.
Сербия это Россия😁
Serbia is Serbia @@Fktrc70
fantastic song brings on all the good times ❤
Immer wieder ein geiler Song,auch noch nach 40 Jahren!
Kannst so sagen! Und die coolen outfits ,-)
Ich habe "Hinterher" verstanden 😂
Verdade.
Dem kann ich nur zustimmen. Damals war das noch richtige Musik und nicht so ein Einheitsbrei wie heute mit Texten wo man glaubt das die Leute irgendwas genommen haben. Damals konnte man noch mitsingen 70er, 80er und 90er. Das war die geilste Zeit in meinem Leben
Ich würde mir mal eine etwas "härtere" bzw. "dreckigere" VERSION wünschen ! ! ! Einfach noch rockiger . . .
I still love that song, even after all those years
А я до сих пор её слушаю.
I was 4 years old when this song was on the top..... I wery like ... and don't forget :)
great 70,s
One of my most beloved songs in my youth... so much power, so much charisma!
Wat ne geile Mucke et doch früher gab!!! 😎👍
love the beat to this song i was only 2 years old when this song came out
Awesome. Extremely healthy, very good luck, money, prosperity, happiness and success! 🍀🏆💗
A good example how simple a musik video can be. You actualy can see who is singing. No need of showing naked bodys or explosions or whatever to keep the audiance watching at. Just simple good musik.
Yes but the show host Jimmy saville was one of the worst pedophiles and abusers in modern history
Une perle des années 70
Heute im Radio gehört und sofort auf volle Lautstärke gedreht!
Hooooly cow! This song is AMAZING!
My great memories ❤❤❤
Das war noch Musik !!!!
Sempre attuale❤❤❤❤❤bellissima
I heard this song for the first time in about 50 years on Boom Radio a few days ago & now here I am listening/watching again. Great track!
👍🏻
Die 70er Jahre waren schön. Dieses Lied höre ich auch heute noch gerne. Deshalb ein ,,gefällt mir" 😁

Das waren echt nocht gute zeiten.
Diese flippigen outfits , , , aber auch manche teenies kramen in der musikalischen "Mottenkiste" und hören sich das an.
The first 45rpm I ever bought. I still love it. The Rhythm is timeless.
Gotta dance
For me it was a song on my first sampler-LP - memories forever :-)
Still listening to this in 2021 and can remember listening in the 1970's
They could have never imagined this would be played at all weddings.
Never get sick of this type of music

Love the way these boys ALL play like they were Ali! (Serious chuckles!) ;)

@@sharonann3344 im right with u on that. Summer of 76, great days for a 9 year old kid, remember this song like it was yesterday.
Mi ricordo quando partivano certi brani ,entravi in pista a ballare,con gioia e ti perdevi in un mondo tutto tuo.altro tempo,che purtroppo non tornerà più ... Anni 80
Miami 29 jan., 2023, 11:35 am. I do not always watch TH-cam videos but when I do this one is one of them. Very HAPPY video.
Super, Klasse, unser absoluter Lieblingssong. Supersong, gratulations.
Muhammed Ali gegen George Foreman in Zaire.
Love the song and those cordless electric guitars! Bluetooth in 1976
Ich war so um die 4 order 5 Jahre alt wie dieses lied aktuell war und hab es jetzt zum ersten mal wieder gehoert.
+olaniyi570
Mir ging es ungefähr genauso.
Schliess mich dem an 😀
Incredible song, sounds like the voice from that 70s TV song I can't think of now...
ouuauuuuhhh !!!! génial il me semble déjà l'avoir entendu dans les années 72 / 76 , avec le recul elle est geniale
Die gute alte Zeit
als der Song rauskam, war ich noch in der Grundschule ... ich erinnere mich aber, mein älterer Bruder und seine Kumples haben einen Spott-Text zusammengeschrieben- und der Refrain hiess dann "Immer Hinterher"
@@domundtgregor6683Darf man fragen, wie alt sie sind😊
