    I remember when I was 11 years old and my parents brought this record home from England. It was really exciting as my cousin was the drummer in the Marmalade's, Allen Whitehead. Proud moment for our family!

    Dean Ford one of the most underrated singers of his time, I'm a great fan of Roy Orbison and not many singers can sing his songs they don't have the range but Dean gives a great rendition of a classic Orbison song. 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎

      Absolutely Robert... Dean certainly does justice to this rendition of one of Roy's greatist...
      I would not trust it to anyone else.❤❤

    I'm not into and turned off by folks comparing one legend to another. I'm grateful for the flavors and the revisiting. But much as I love Roy I have to admit coming back to this cover first. I wish for Dean's sake he'd had more recognition and some deserved rewards it brings. Curious what year this was.

    Why am I only discovering Dean Ford now???
    We produce so few great male vocalists in these islands but what do we do when one comes along? We give them a few years of fame then let them drift into obscurity! It's time for a Dean Ford revival, to show the people of Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland what we had... and what we squandered and lost.

    I'm just one of the 15,000+ who have stumbled upon this rendition. I thought only Orbison had the vocal range to attempt this song but Dean's voice just elongates & rises to each higher note effortlessly.

    • @cosmoknotmusic
      @cosmoknotmusic 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      +Wa1kerBros4Ever totally agree with you. I have a few I put in that "please don't try to cover them" list, number 1 being Orbison (also Kd Lang & the untouchable, Adele and overlooked, Brandi Carlile-Adele covers her). This guy is amazing. That natural melasma technique in his vox, heard in Marmalade & strengthened since, was at the time of 69-70 when he recorded "Reflections of My Life," only heard in Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and very few others, motown black soul singers. Original "Blue-eyed" Rock n Roll singer.

      Music is a _business_ . It’s not always-or even often-that the best talents get the best promotion. Many other factors that have nothing to do with music get in the way, and often the very best are underrated or even put to one side.

    You won't find any other covers of this song because it is very difficult to sing and do a good job. Dean Ford is the only one that can pull this off and he is easily compareable to Roy Orbison. This was in an informal setting looks like in someone's living room amd it's awesome. Too bad there isn't a recording studio version because I believe Dean's version could be just as powerful as Roy Orbison's.
