These have got to be two of the greatest falsettos in the industry. Barry Gibb is the only one I can think of that rivals them. I'm obsessed with this version of this song.
You clearly never heard Morten Harket of A-ha nor Marian Gold of Alphaville. And it's amazing what Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran, Andy McCluskey of OMD, and Neil Finn of Crowded House when they want in certain songs. Thing with Jimmy Somerville, he sound like that all the time and he doesn't have the many layers that Russ has, where he can drop his voice real low whenever he wants.
Phénoménal !!! All is super great : the music, the voices, (particularly Jimmy, of course ❤️🤩), the grandiose atmosphère, really a dazzling exceptional moment ! 👍❤️🤩🤗🤗
Proper OMG moment, I was at that event at the front of the stage waited for ages for acts to start remember seeing the man from Boney M, Pete Burns and a few others buthere's the sad bit, I cannot for the life of me remember seeing this, proper gutted.
Hey lightsOutIbiza!! You had a Sparks video named "Sparks - Rock of the 80's" the video was recently taken down by "SME" who claims to own it. Where did that video come from? I want to find it. Thanks!!

Yeah. It's my favourite too. I listen to this several times in a row with my earphones on. Makes me feel any thing is possible!

I love Sparks, and I love Jimmy!❤
This was definitely written by the masters hand.....Ron !!
Moroder wrote the music for Number One Song In Heaven, Ron and Russel wrote the lyrics for that one.
This collaboration with Sparks and Jimmy fills me with such emotion and is just brilliant
Jimmy Somerville singing "The Number One Song in Heaven" with Sparks(!) is the greatest musical event that happened at any Pride ever.
...I only wish I was there!
I agree :-)
Hoy los vi en el cable, en el canal “film & art” y me encanto su estilo de música 🫶🏼. Saludos desde Santiago, Chile 🇨🇱 Sudamérica ✌🏼💕
The pleasure was all Jimmy’s . He looks thrilled to sing with Sparks . So great!
Wtf have I just watched
😮😮😮😮😮.
Absolutely bloody amazing 😊😊😊😊
Something about late 90s Russ does something to me.
i get what you mean
You are NOT alone.
These versions of the songs can be found on Sparks' album Plagiarism. One of my favourite albums ever!
Wow. This gave me goose bumps when Jimmy starts singing Number One Song In Heaven

Never saw this ever! Day made. Thank you.
Aww, Jimmy's entrance was ace!!
Just how awesome was this collaboration?
One of my favorite live videos with Sparks, this collaboration is heaven!
Brilliant version of This Town with a orchestral backing plus Jimmy Somerville as well
That moment when you love TH-cam because you’d have never heard it
Holy shit this is awesome lol love sparks and wee jimmy - saw communards in 86 always wanted to see sparks since 79
This is a REALLY GOOD version of 'The Number One Song In Heaven'-I can almost hear Enigma like-chanting in the background.
Russel in "Ostfriesennerz" .. very nice! Thanks!
THE FINEST!
Wow! Great version with extra verses.
Incredible 😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
GREAT, SOOO GREAT ❤
Extraordinaire vraiment émotionnelle
well superb, truly beautiful well done fellas
just fantastic and thank you for a great upload.
Love this
Superb.
Wow! This is amazing!!
How am I the first person to notice the drum channel is completely missing?
Because it’s a mimed performance.
Wow, that was fantastic! ❤️ ❤️
The hand offs to Jimmy were slightly awkward. Russell is soooo used to doing it all by himself.
When, Jimmy took the mic, it was angelic.
If this is mimed how come the extra verse to this town "choosing, the girl is choosing" is on here?
yellow parka
super
Hey lightsOutIbiza!! You had a Sparks video named "Sparks - Rock of the 80's" the video was recently taken down by "SME" who claims to own it. Where did that video come from? I want to find it. Thanks!!
How perfect is this?
Has someone predicted rain?????
Sparks. Music's answer to, post modernism.
GREAT songs NO NEED to sing with voice track
I hated Sommerville all the time....but now....
Shame they had to mime
Good
Jimmy chante bien mieux que Ron, alors que je suis fan de Sparks, depuis 1974
Why did Russell do most of the singing and push JImmy aside?
Because he is the better singer, certainly on this track anyway.
Where did Russell push Jimmy aside?? I only see 2 singers who both seem to be delighted to be singing together.
Wow
they should really just give Jimmy that song because he owns it
