It’s one of my favorites from the 70’s. I think Ace recorded it in 1974, and it’s the 1st song Paul Carrack wrote. There’s an awesome live version on TH-cam from 2017 too.
Everytime the length of something comes up I remember this song and sing it, not to forget dance!! One of my favs ever!! Thank you, Paul!! You still have it!!!!!
Are you kidding me??? This video was put out in 2017 and there are only 1500 'likes' ? One of the very purest voices ever, with this collection of musicians .... A masterpiece.
One of the best voices on the planet today, I don't think there's many singers 65+ that could still sing their recordings from 40+ years ago with the some vigor, but Paul does it, wow!
Exactly! Just how long has he been going on, with his superb voice, hit after hit, song after song. I last saw him in this very venue, I hope those days can return. A rare and treasured talent!
i'm today year-old after finding out that this brother's voice was lead on so many jams that i still love...like 'Tempted' by Squeeze...Big up, Paul Carrack! 💯
I only found out recently that Paul Carrack also sang “In the Living years” in the group “Mike and the Mechanics” which is one of the most incredible songs ever! Of course, this one is timeless as well. “Relationships” are universal and an artist who nails the heartache never fails. Great talent, still. 🥳👏👍
I just bought this box set. This is (no surprise) the gem for me. How Long was the opening song each night for my band in the late 70s. The Papa Was a Rolling Stone opening and sax addition at the beginning was terrific. We just wish Paul would tour the U.S. on occasion.
Living in Portugal, my son Andrew and I racked our brains as to who recorded this song one Christmas day. In the end we phoned our friend Paul in the UK who new it was Ace. Still sounds just as good because it is a classic by a superb singer and group.
How Long is this been going on. When I was young boy I love those songs and the voice who sing these songs. Every performance I have seen in recent years, it has always been a celebration with the many fans whose hearts have been conquered with the great and rich ouvre of beautiful songs. And after so many years these songs are still classical favourites. You gave me more than One good reason for Blue views and a more Beautiful World. Your music, songs and voice Satisfy my soul. You did some Grooving and you are Still Groovin. It ain't over. But The Story So Far is I Know That Name for so many years even when you have A Different Hat. Your album Collected gives me a Good Feeling when it Rain or shine. You are so Dedicated to music. I hope that you also will do a tour in the Netherlands. In the past you gave some awesome concerts in my hometown Zoetermeer. Thank you for your beautiful songs and voice for almost 50 years. You make me feel good. Thank you for this music clip in which it can be seen that the spectator is always being treated to a fantastic performance.
All the best Paul how we will remember you and ACE here in Ecuador western South AMERICA where does ACE really now , how your song sounded at radios during the 70S here in this part of South America Greetings Paul 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹👋👋👋👋👋👋
1974 Edinburgh Scotland. First time this hit came out. Remember watching it at TOTP and then later on going to discoteque...greatgreat time. How long...time ago??? 48years has passed me by...time vanishes...
I've loved this song from the moment I first heard it! What truly amazes me is that I actually had the cheek to give guitar lessons to Phil Harris, who I think was the original bass player of Ace!
Another great alternative intro arrangement. I’ll have to add this to my performance arsenal now!!! My favourite song to sing EVER! Thanks Paul and team ♥️
I was 20 when this was released when I first started playing guitar. I now perform it myself on my channel. Love this Live version Paul, you get better and better.
Este hombre su calidad vocal como si estuviera tocando con ACE. Que bueno que no se le haya ido su voz. Me agrada mucho su musica. Grande señor Carrack
Aaahh What a Man Who's still listening to this in 2022, Paul Carrack's just Timeless Hope this song earned him some Stripes on the amazon Ad last year Saw him in Dublin in 2019 Oh My God, What a F**k'n performance, the power for the Amps, Mike's everything went out and he carried on, Just him and his guitar, he filled the whole Theatre with just his voice and guitar If Y'er listening Paul When are You coming back Jack Vaughan Tipperary Ireland
Paul Carrack.. I have loved this song and your vocals since this song 🎵💕came onto the airwaves! Loved your contributions to another fantastic band- Squeeze !! God bless you Sir, be well. Your voice in second to none!! 💞💞💞💞
Brilliant. Such an inspiration. I wish the first song I ever wrote was this or anywhere near. Love the motown start on this. Fantastic. My granny lived next door but one to his old keyboard player and went to the same school.
remarkable performance of this tune. BUT I have also enjoyed Carrack's acoustic solo studio performance of the same song. A great song is still a great song when stripped down to the basics.. Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed it to the max!

Loved this song as a Senior in 75, and still love it as a Senior in 22.
Paul is one of the finest singers in the Rock N Roll era, bar none. This song, recorded by Ace in 1975, still rings true. He is a LEGEND.
Paul was the Ace frontman and principal song writer.
It’s one of my favorites from the 70’s. I think Ace recorded it in 1974, and it’s the 1st song Paul Carrack wrote. There’s an awesome live version on TH-cam from 2017 too.
Greatest song ever
Everytime the length of something comes up I remember this song and sing it, not to forget dance!! One of my favs ever!! Thank you, Paul!! You still have it!!!!!

Rather than one hit wonder this a one line wonder .
Couldn't agree more. Fantastic vocalist!!
Paul’s Voice is like a fine wine. It gets better with age.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
So many artist’s voices change over time and not always for the better. His is still magnificent.
and still doing it in the same key...amazing
Soulful!!
One of my fav vocalists
So right !
My Favorite Version of this timeless song
I never get tired of listening to this song! I was six years old when this hit aired and I'm still loving Paul Carrack at 52!
Thank you, Paul, for being part of the soundtrack of my life.
AMAZING BASS!!!!!!
The forgotten Best Voice of the 70's.
I didnt forget ;-)
Me neither, check out Jess Roden though, another fantastic voice from the 70's
Another great voice e from the 70s is David Pack from Ambrosia. Still sounds the same
MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SONG AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTIST THAT I NEVER GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO !!! KEEP IT UP PAUL !!
Yes!!! 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
The Guitar player is FANTASTIC!
Glad you put this in, was searching for what I was thinking, he is amazing 👍
Yesss
Andy Staves. top geezer.
43 years later and you still give me chills. You personify that some things just get better with time.
You damn right!! Paul's got it.
Awesome!!!! ❤️❤️
My favorite song. Love to see boomers sounding, playing & looking so good. You still rock Paul Carrack.
The tone on that Tele kicks ass! Sweet band!
Lovin that bass player. 🙂
He is so good! ❤ The music!
One cool dude. Killer career. Highly respected man.
I had NO idea how amazing Paul Carrack is until TODAY. Only knew him from the Mechanics.... Ace is KILLER!!!! Paul kicks some serious ass. He’s GOLD.
He sings like he’s still in his 20’s. Keeping it fresh Paul!!
Incredible to think, all these years later, to make a great tune sound even greater. Kudos to paul.
Haven’t heard this Song in years….
still Love it Today, as I did back then!! Thanks Guys for the Wonderful Memories!!!!
What a performance ! Part of the soundtrack of my life.
Absolutely the best version ever, especially the 2 minute intro.
I agree with 2 minute intro.
Starts off with the bassline to ‘Papa Was a Rolling Stone’ by the Temptations
Oh yes definitely the best version I've heard. Paul and his band are amazing.
Brutal!!?
Great song - I can’t believe how solid your vocals are after all of these years.
Every time I hear this/your song it takes me back to New Orleans, driving down St. Charles Avenue, and my first Love. THE best SONG! Thank you
One of the best voices on the planet today, I don't think there's many singers 65+ that could still sing their recordings from 40+ years ago with the some vigor, but Paul does it, wow!
If ever there was a song that has stood the test of time this must be THE one. Those old boys sure now how to play, love y'all!
This has been my favorite song since the 70's and still is in 2021!! 👍😎❤
Exactly! Just how long has he been going on, with his superb voice, hit after hit, song after song. I last saw him in this very venue, I hope those days can return. A rare and treasured talent!
Damn these cats are tight!! Amazing stuff
i'm today year-old after finding out that this brother's voice was lead on so many jams that i still love...like 'Tempted' by Squeeze...Big up, Paul Carrack! 💯
Interesting that he keeps reinventing this song over the years. So many people just phone in their hits........but not Paul.
Proper Band.
I bought this ,I could spot,hear, anything that was special and good, different, on the old radio
I only found out recently that Paul Carrack also sang “In the Living years” in the group “Mike and the Mechanics” which is one of the most incredible songs ever! Of course, this one is timeless as well. “Relationships” are universal and an artist who nails the heartache never fails. Great talent, still. 🥳👏👍
Also in a band called Squeeze before that. The guy is the real deal.
I've heard many of his versions of the song, always gets better and his voice is still great.
I just bought this box set. This is (no surprise) the gem for me. How Long was the opening song each night for my band in the late 70s. The Papa Was a Rolling Stone opening and sax addition at the beginning was terrific. We just wish Paul would tour the U.S. on occasion.
Still love this tune....classic !!!

Tony ...you could have nipped down the Algarvian coast and asked me lol. Like you , love this sound from yesteryear. Enjoy the sun.
He still sounds great. Always liked this song. Love the Sax!!
One of the best song ever....👋☝️🎉😎😎😎👏
I Love Your Voice Paul!! You are world heritage. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank You for existing!!

Incombustible Mr. Carrack. One of the favourite singers
Love this song! He is fantastic.
The Universe conspired on me!. I just posted this tune , in the original version of Ace. Thanks Paul, this tune belongs to my life´s soundtrack!
Carrack's voice is peerless even after all these years.
What a great performance of a great song!
I rate this song as my best loved No 1 song for the last 3 years, and as a musician myself, that's a big call. I play it everyday...Luv it.
Brilliant. Such an inspiration. I wish the first song I ever wrote was this or anywhere near. Love the motown start on this. Fantastic. My granny lived next door but one to his old keyboard player and went to the same school.
Real musicians and a legend who can sing. Its all good. Splendid.

Severely underrated. Magical, in fact!
excellent moment ! Carrack for always !
Great song!
remarkable performance of this tune. BUT I have also enjoyed Carrack's acoustic solo studio performance of the same song. A great song is still a great song when stripped down to the basics.. Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed it to the max!

The lead in is GOLD..👍🤔😎
