The first interracial band from the UK and they were simply fabulous. Musicians have a lesson to teach the world... Music is color blind and people better catch up.
Such wonderful live footage - the lead singer's pitchiness, oddly enough, is what makes it so special (lovely tone to his voice though). This is real and raw, with actual instruments - just how music should be - unlike today's fake autotune ...
Live vocals over a pre-recorded backing track. Very hard to sing to (or for the musicians to mime to!) with very low volume "fold-back" in the studio. Not surprising he's a little pitchy!
Standard on this & many other TV shows of the time was a prerecorded isolated musical track over which the vocalists would sing live before the cameras. Awkward at best, may explain what you're describing you hear.
This song & "Build Me Up Buttercup and others I heard and fell in love with on My 1st job being Married in 1972 as I worked at a Bowling Alley. It was a Good time and place for me.
William, alot of these great bands were a big part of my life growing up in the 60's Including Motown, Yes I loved the classic rock and stll do, but I also loved all of the other bands also, Foundations, Four Tops, and so on...Great Music and Talent from the 60's no one today can come close to them!!!
'Looking for somebody, to give me love like you' I was 12 yrs. Old & singing this to the girls in JHS. They thought i wascrazy & i still am - about this song.
This was the music I recall listening to on pub juke -boxes when I was in my first year, legally to be served by the bar. The Foundations were a wonderful example of the vast amount of hits at the time that still get plenty of airtime today. The 1965 to 1980 was a lucky time to live in the UK; In 1967 when this was in the charts life seemed safer and the future we were told brighter. Who have thought 55 years hence we would have todays complex and unhappy society. While most in this clip now would be well in their 70s, and may look back with pride.
I love this music, it's my parents generation. This was so simple and great. I was born in 1972 and was lucky to grow upon this stuff plus all the music I loved in the 80s/90s also
Classic. Timeless. This group, these musicians had no idea at the time, how popular this song would be for eons to come. Just wonderful. You cannot listen and not sing along. Anyone who knows this song knows the words and the melody and the horns. :)
Buenas y santas, esta musica nunca nunca dejará de escucharse de cualquier manera. Tengo varios discos de ellos pero mi giradisco no funciona y me conformo con escucharlo por este medio. A pesar que no estan todos sus temas difundidos. Exelente travajo del canal. Hoy con mis 73 pirulos me sigo emocionando con los recuerdos junto a mi novia. Hoy mi esposa gace 53 años.
Yes! It was so wonderfully unique when it came out. The descending bass line, the horns and backup vocals “da-da-da daaah”-ing, and Clem Curtis’ wonderful, slightly breaking up tone. It *really* stuck to me when it came out over half a century ago!
Great song! I remember those days like yesterday. There was a time when a sax-player was no option for a band, but a Must, which made many songs so special, to have a brass section.
Most Americans never heard of him, but I remember hearing about him after he died. I just read his wikipedia page. He was a psychopath of the worst kind. Sickening.
Wow I remember that sound coming through my am transistor radio. That blonde dude at the beginning looked like what I believed a person in the future would have looked like back in 1967. I was only seven.
Baby, now that I've found you I can't let you go I'll build my world around you I need you so Baby, even though you don't need me Baby, baby, since first we met (doot-doot) I knew in this heart of mine (I wanna tell you, doot-doot) The love we had could not be bad (doot-doot) Play it right and bide my time Spent a lifetime looking for somebody To give me love like you Now you've told me that you wanna leave me Darling, I just can't let you.
🥀Amazing song I love it! My sister's use to play this song all the time they were older than me but I love these song's. One of the best I've heard in year's🥀☝️🥀
Strange how some tunes instantly evoke a memory........I was in the back seat of a hire car with three pals coming back from Earls Court Motor Show to Bristol. We had agreed to take it in turns to drive, being as how it was a new car and we were all about 20, so looking forward to it. But............I had the shits and didn't dare get up from the back seat 'cos that was all that was holding it in, so I didn't get my turn to drive, Story of my life.
Spent a lifetime looking for somebody To give me love like you Now you've told me that you want to leave me Darling, I CAN'T FIND MY SHOE. 2nd time around. Spent a lifetime looking for somebody To give me love like you Now you've told me that you want to leave me Darling, I JUST FOUND MY SHOE.
Lead singer appears influenced by either Levi or Joe Stubbs (or both), phenomenal lead vocals way over and beyond the backgrounds. Imagine how much bigger this group would have benefitted with Motown's Originals back there?
This song, as well as "Build Me Up, Buttercup", brings me back to a time when my life was so simple and wonderful. Of course, I was only 10 at the time! LOL! When I look at the footage of this band now, I'm struck by the fact that it was an inter-racial group of musicians. I say that because there's virtually absolutely no soul in this music whatsoever!! I mean, the songs are good and have catchy hooks, but if I didn't see these videos, I would have thought they were performed by the Cowsills. Even the Osmond Brothers had more soul than this! I'm not judging - please don't send me hate mail. I'm merely observing and am fascinated to discover that the color of your skin does not define your soulful approach to music! Even more important than this, I'm reminded that I had absolutely no knowledge of the race of the members of this band and the most wonderful thing of all is - it never entered my mind to care!!! In the 60s and 70s, Jimi Hendrix was the most renowned rock guitarist and Janis Joplin was singing the blues. During the most intense civil rights movement on a political level, on a human level, we were more integrated and accepting of each other then, than we are now.

Pervert saville
They were the second interracial band from the UK The EQAULS we’re the first

I agree. Good taste.
Absolutely. Dreamy genius song. Like from God.

Wow! When your'e in love, all these great songs just fit right in..
As a kid from the NYC suburbs. I can recall Cousin Bruce-y announcing this tune on WABC.
The foundations created some amazing music.

I grew up in the 90's, but mostly on 60's music. Courtesy of the old KRTH 101.
Bad ass
Same. I was born in 1979, and I feel lucky to be raised on wonderful music like this
Thank you to the Parents
Great song I remember from those says. I often find myself singing this song to myself after all these decades.
This was So popular at our High School dances.
Classic. Timeless. This group, these musicians had no idea at the time, how popular this song would be for eons to come. Just wonderful. You cannot listen and not sing along. Anyone who knows this song knows the words and the melody and the horns. :)
True. The surprise slammin horn spots, really special.
Buenas y santas, esta musica nunca nunca dejará de escucharse de cualquier manera. Tengo varios discos de ellos pero mi giradisco no funciona y me conformo con escucharlo por este medio. A pesar que no estan todos sus temas difundidos. Exelente travajo del canal. Hoy con mis 73 pirulos me sigo emocionando con los recuerdos junto a mi novia. Hoy mi esposa gace 53 años.
The transcendent dulcet tones of Clem Curtis.
I love this song so much..

More,..great songs..
From the 60's....
great music & memories, very special song
Love these guys. Great bass player, looks like Jeff Beck!
This is music history, i was in my pampers when this was on air.................GREAT
I hope you were an infant.
Love 60s music the best although I love all music except for rap but 60s music is my very favorite of all time music !
remarkable to get an actual live vocal track from 1967.
Yes.
Great memories, I was only 11 yrs old
Nice to see an actual live performance, not a lip-sync event!
Great song! I remember those days like yesterday. There was a time when a sax-player was no option for a band, but a Must, which made many songs so special, to have a brass section.
I felt sick to my stomach seeing evil Jimmy introducing. Of course in those days we had no idea just how bad it was with Saville.
Most Americans never heard of him, but I remember hearing about him after he died. I just read his wikipedia page. He was a psychopath of the worst kind. Sickening.
Wonder where Jimmy is at right now. 🔥🔥
Me too matey..take that pervert..off this video..he should have edited it
@@ClintonOrtiz in effing ell I ope

Wow I remember that sound coming through my am transistor radio. That blonde dude at the beginning looked like what I believed a person in the future would have looked like back in 1967. I was only seven.
Baby, now that I've found you
I can't let you go

I need you so
Baby, even though you don't need me
Baby, baby, since first we met (doot-doot)

The love we had could not be bad (doot-doot)
Play it right and bide my time
Spent a lifetime looking for somebody
To give me love like you
Now you've told me that you wanna leave me
Darling, I just can't let you.
Que onderos los jóvenes de 1967..que buenos look...feliz habría vivido en esa época !...la canción es buenísima...

Brought to you the royal families best friend Jimmy Saville
That ridiculous hairstyle was his Royal Crown. If anyone breathes a word of complaint about him they lose their job.
Jimmy Saville closely resembles an Albino Oompah Loompah from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
You are right, Meschell. Hey do you live close to the pacific ocean? Edit: "c"

Great.
Jimmy pervert should not of been seen or heard in the interduction of this song by the great foundations great song.
But imagine the other millionaire/billionaire perverts out there. They get away with it because of money. We still have sex slavery too.
Tooo rite wy was hee I forward it
Hey i'm American and I just wanna say that host seems like a trustworthy, wholesome guy.
John Williams, thanks for proving that Americans do understand sarcasm.
It was the intermission at clubs back then...but still great.
fantastic year to vera heart xxx
MISS SO MUCH...
Unmistakably Britain's version of "Tower Of Power" and "Blood, Sweat & Tears".
Good one!
A lot of epic going on here.
Lead singer appears influenced by either Levi or Joe Stubbs (or both), phenomenal lead vocals way over and beyond the backgrounds. Imagine how much bigger this group would have benefitted with Motown's Originals back there?
So astute.
I ❤ Top of the POPS
Great song, but couldn't you have cut the first 25 seconds?
Excellent! Happy days eh?
Great in 2020!!!
