I'm a former touring artist and composer. I've written over 110 songs with around 40 recorded by other artists. I've been playing piano, drums, guitar and horns for over 40 years and a couple of my songs made the Top 100. Foxes and Fossills is not just good, they are truly amazing. Arrangements are outstanding. Playing is stunning. Vocals are as tight as any band I've ever seen. These guys are truly special and one of the best bands to ever perform pop tunes.
You are absolutely correct! I have listened to many, many groups over my many, many years, and they are without a doubt, steller in vocals and instrumentation. My wife and I could listen to so many other bands on TH-cam, and do now and again, but always seem to come back to this group much more often.............that say's something.
Stay tuned for more info on the concert pay per view coming up May 7-9.
@@lynwessel2471 That date cannot get here fast enough. I can't put my finger on it, but for some reason this group has something very magical about it. I really hope that they consider another concert at the same venue, possibly this summer. It seems as though it would be a much easier operation since they have already have done the first one and there is hardly any learning curve at that point. I most certainly will be there, and we are 3200 miles away! Anyway, thank you for keeping folks informed on this incredibly band.........They are a very special and incredibly talented group.
@@louc4130No live show in the immediate future, but replays of the pay-per-view concert from last December are going to happen, so stay tuned. Meanwhile, they've been in the studio recording new work.
🎉🎉Love 😍 this review.
As a career musician for more than 50 years, I can honestly say I have NEVER heard ANY band cover 10cc. This was completely outta left field! WOW! F&F can do no wrong! I have run out of superlatives describing this group. Much respect.
Same here - I avidly collected their albums! I think I'll send a note to Graham Gouldman - this is awesome.
Agree. Love 10cc and they cover this perfectly.
was thinking the same...i love this song and F&F was perfect match.
@@russwhaley So I was not the only one that was a 10cc fan in the 70's. I still have those big black cds (that's what my grandkids call them!). Enjoy!
@@russwhaley Absolutely, Graham would get a huge kick from this. Eric too!
I'm a 10cc fan from way back. This track came on by chance, in the background; I wasn't watching the computer screen. I honestly thought it WAS 10cc and was very surprised to see that it was the excellent F&F!
PHENOMENAL cover of 10cc- The Things We Do For Love
My favorite 10CC song thanks for the great cover. Update: This is about my 50th time playing this since I posted here 4 days ago. :)
Tim can still sing anything -- really well! And the arrangement and the harmonies are magnificent.
Still?
@@WmRob Not many can sing high tenor that well at age 65.
@@WmRob Yup, still. See Lyn's explanation.
@@lynwessel2471 Not many, but there are several......Vince Gill, just to name one.
And Timothy B. Shmidt
Wow! Just think...I used to walk to Junior High daily singing this song out loud! What a refreshing song for this awesome band to perform! Thank you F&F for the memories!!!
I DIDNT THINK I COULD BE MORE IMPRESSED WITH F & F , BUT THEY KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK ON THIS ONE !!
At this point is doesn't really matter what song they pick. Whatever song they pick, they will perform it well or even improve it. Hello from Seeley's Bay Ontario.
@M edw. You've hit it out-of the park with your comment. They are beyond mere compliments. Bravo F & F!
I agree! Foxes and Fossils are the BEST cover group on TH-cam and possibly on the planet! Absolute AWESOMENESS from ...
Foxes and Fossils! 👍👍🤠
Seeleys Bay - hey I know where that is. North to Smith Falls then on to Nepean.
Well said! (From your neighbour a little south of you on Dog Lake!)
Yeah Seeley's Bay! Rock on!
Just another cup of perfection. They could tour and do a 6 hour show - we wouldn't get bored!
They could sing the phone book and I wouldn't get bored.
This version is breathtaking. WOW. You people never fail to stun me.
I hope this team plays for us for many years. There's some magic happening when they sing.
This is a great cover musically, but I think my favorite part is the joy and fun in this video.
We used to cover this with my band in the 1980’s and I can tell you it’s really tough. Having the ladies for backing vocals is a big help though. Top job we never got close to perfection and this is there in my opinion.
Love this song from my high school time.
The F&F version of "Love Is The Answer" is one of the best performances I've ever heard by anyone. They are as magical as a certain group I first heard in my home town of Liverpool sixty years ago. Yes, that good.
I agree, it's my favourite too. It's a masterful bit of production, the way Tim builds the song into a climax. Not dynamics, that's just volume. But the mood, the level of excitement ebbs and flows like in a well-written story. Far better than any treatment by 'name' groups. It's world class, IMO.
..and of course, Chase Truran is simply superb on that cut.
True that!!!
I love that version too!
Yes it is! I replay, replay, replay and then replay some more! Incredible talent! It’s the “wow” factor each and every time!
I assume you've heard Tim's version of "Penny Lane"?
I can't think of enough superlatives to do justice to how I feel about every single song these people cover, even ones I didn't care for by the original artist. I love the 10cc song and all of you lots . . .
Some of the negative comments derive from the song not being a favorite back when it came out. I don't think that's a bug, rather a feature. It's a complex song. It has a very unusual chord progression, five key changes, and a couple of full stops. It's hard to whistle, you can't dance to it, and almost impossible to sing either solo or with a group. But that's what makes it so wonderful! F&F takes on the tough songs, and shows everyone how it's done!
This ^^^. Thank you, Stuart.
I am absolutely not, and never was, a 10cc fan. Once again, though, F&F takes a less-than-spectacular song, upcycles it and makes it their own. And the result is just plain awesome.
One of my favorite examples of this is Sammie absolutely crushing "Hip to my Heart" -- a song so silly that only Sammie could get me to pay attention, probably a hundred times by now.
I was and am a fan of 10cc. It was highly produced, highly inventive pop music. In its genre of studio music, I thought it ranks amongst the best.
Covers are difficult to assess. Are you looking at how well the group imitates the original? Are you looking for a different interpretation? It’s very personal. And speaking personally, I thought that the F&F version of “Love is the answer” better than the original. “Telling me lies” better than the original ( i am now condemned to hell for suggesting that anyone could beat Linda Ronstadt at anything). This song however; it is slightly different from 10cc; a bit less smooth (produced?) and I don’t know if it beats the original or not.
My favourite 10cc track is “Mandy fly me”. Not just the song but the associations I have with it from who I was with at the time it was released.
Graeme Gouldman from 10cc is, for me, one of the least known song writing heroes. One of his earliest songs was bought by the Hollies and became the superlative “Bus Stop”. If you listen to the lyrics of each song, the words aren’t there to fill a space or to rhyme with the previous lines. They are crafted to mean something; something funny but mostLy something meaningful. Great work.
@Leon Erin
Actually guys I’ve heard it claimed this was their biggest hit. Can’t see it myself. It always surprises me. At least that what I heard said in a documentary on them by the BBC in 2015. But maybe that was based on records sold rather than wide success and recognition. For that I’m Not In Love wins hands down
Mind you I prefer the tracks like I’m Mandy Fly Me and Wall Street Shuffle. Sheet Music is one of my all time top 3 albums
An absolute gem just love your sound guys. Warmth of the Sun (Beach Boys) would be more than welcome
Anyone who has ANYTHING negative to say about his band is just a hater and jerk! I mean….C’mon!
After all these years, and I remember this piece well, I had entirely forgotten what a superbly structured song this is. A very well managed and delivered cover which does it more than justice.
That brought back a lot of fond memories of better times in the 70’s. “Something funny”
I adore this song for the vocal round outro.
It can only be replicated by serious musicians. F&F definitely took this seriously!
Absolutely incredible. Who can cover 10cc like this?
No need to search for "oldies but goldies", they are right here!
Wow, you guys certainly don’t pick the easy ones. Superb performance as ever.
One of the special treats the studio sessions have given us is the awesome five-part harmony on display here. It really doesn't get any better than this.
Watch the live concert. They do it just as effortlessly live.
I think it's beautiful, the epitome of humans to work together to create something so beautiful. Thank you.
How am I just seeing this one?? As usual...this is Pro Grade. Tim is brilliant guy with the mixing/arranging
Hit the orange logo to check their complete video list.
Absolutely brilliant , I’m a huge fan of 10cc but this is so good .👏
Extra points: You even did the "Yeah-eah" and "Oh-oh" vocal parts near the very end. Perfection!
I noticed that, too! Kudos to all of you, young and old! Haha!
Foxes and Fossils never disappoint. I love their harmonies and arrangements. This song takes me back to my childhood
Which damn it was a LONG time ago.
About 1977 or so, I was 23 yrs old.
I've been a session guitarist since age 19 and in my opinion they're as good as it gets . VERY IMPRESSED
Everyone's a critic :) I grew up with this song in the UK... great job everyone.
WOW. This group is so tight on every song that they record. I could listen to them every waking moment.
I almost do😛
One of the many songs I never cared much for until I heard F&F cover them. Great harmony as usual.
WOW They sound awesome i'm sure the members of 10cc if they've seen this are proud of them
Listening to them let's me feel like a kid again, from all the memories they bring back.
I can't contain my appreciation of this one! - I agree with the person who commented on the lack of 10CC covers: 10CC were sheer perfection at their peak, and no-one could dare an attempt at emulating them. And yet, here we are, enjoying a song with augmented harmonies and great musicianship. Well done everyone!
Yeah, 10cc will get their due posthumous respect someday. I hope I'm still alive to see it.
We saw 10cc on St Davids hall in Cardiff and they were stunning and this cover is pure class.
Second comment from me for this song... I'm amazed that the 3 lovely ladies could sing this song from way before they were born. 1977.
Every song I hear you sing lead ALWAYS makes me think your voice should’ve been on am radio back when I was kid growing up in the 70’s and 80’s.
Great job all the way around…..as always. 🎼🤙🏾
What I love about your group ….is the attention to detail in all your covers. This 10cc tune(big 10cc fan) …what I’ve always loved about(besides the incredible lyric writing and tight harmonies) was the vocal outro when Eric Stewart would do the call and response with “…the things we do for love..”, the back ground guys (if I’m not mistaken, Godley and Creme had left the group already)would respond with “oh-oh” and “yeh-eh”
And, you folks did brilliantly. It’s why I keep coming back😁✌🏾🤙🏾🎼
Much Aloha🎼🫶🏽
That was amazing - the harmonies are fantastic and there is a moment at around 2:37 but listen from 2:32 to hear it build - that sound is just a glorious by the backing singers.
A good test of a musical group’s talent is when you enjoy their performance of a particular song that you were never really that fond of.....Very good job,instrumentally and vocally.
Yes, they keep making me a fan of songs I used to turn my nose up at. Amazing.
I hope F&F does every song ever
I saw 10cc live in London, June 1977 (I was 20), and was mad about their music. This cover is perfect. I must agree with other comments: 10cc is hardly covered, maybe it's because it's not easy... I love F & F, greetings from Portugal.
One of the many things I love about F&F is that they make me listen closely to songs I only listened to casually before. This is an incredibly complex song with lots of "moving parts". Just listen to the fade-out at about 2:40 and notice how the girls and Darwin add bits with each repetition.
Well, it’s still baseball season and THAT….children… was a GRAND SLAM!
As well as Tennis 🎾 season the US open .
I’ve never seen a cover of this song. And what a gorgeous cover you did!!! ☮️💕💕
This can only be described as "mind-bending-spot-on-if-you-couldn't-see-the-screen-it's-a-remaster-of-10cc" awesome. NICE.
I am stunned by the meticulous timing on the marvelous background harmonies. IMO, Tim is the most versatile, talented musician/producer in the music biz today! This F&F version of TTWDFL is superb, in every way! 👏🏻❤️
Surprised and delighted at the choice of this song! Ah, yes... was 25 and newly married in '76. A good time in life and this song was a nice reminder. Thanks F&F Family!!!
The best cover band ever, we are all eager to hear a new song!!
Definitely one of Top YT CB's. Like 'Leonid & Friends ', 'Hindley Street Country Club'
Michael, you’ve got to get out and about more. You ever heard of HSCC?
Yes I have heard of them even Lexington Lab Band are professional, I guess I favor F&F for the way their harmonies mesh.
@@dandydon6049 I agree the HSCC are very good, but after listening to many of their songs, I don't feel the girls vocal are at the same level of the girls here. They are good, very good, but not exceptional as the F&F girls.
As said before and having my own band, I can’t say enough about how good this band and the singers are. Every song they sing , and play, is perfect in every way.
Such crisp, clear vocals. Very nice.
Ah! that beautiful harmonizing. A fun song to sing. Bringing back memories to all fans and new comers.
Bloody brilliant performance!
Any 10CC number is a technical challenge, and this is very much one. You hit the harmonies, strange key changes etc every time. This is not easy at all and you do an astonishingly good job. Thankyou all so much.
I have seen 10cc many times (in all the formats) and can honestly say this is truly a great cover. Please do I’m not in love.
MAN Does this bring back memories I 💙it!!! Well Done 💯✌️✨2023
Excellent rendition! Brings back memories.
This band is very special.
Tim you have nailed it, to cover 10cc is beyond brave. They are the most iconic underated bands from my country and you have just just proved that.
Hello from Texas I’m sending to all my friends each song loving it great way to spend Saturday night smiling 😊😊
We live each day choosing to smile or not...
I agree with you❤
I don't know what to say other than I think 10cc would be delighted if they heard this! Absolutely amazing, the harmonies, the musicianship, bloody everything! I don't usually like cover bands but you've won me over big style!
Scott, thank you for your music and talent: you will be missed.
Praying for Scott's family and for all y'all 💙🛐✝️💞💞
I think I've listened to nearly ever song you guys and gals have done, and
the vocal harmonies and instrumentals are superb in every one.
What a very talented, smooth sounding group you are!
We need a LOVE button! Very well done.
F&F Brilliance! Heartfelt Thanks! Love and Joy! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Chip in Dallas. I'm huge fan. I used to be a back-up, harmony singer. We were good. You are better. I salute you (y'all).
Well I'll be horn swaggled... not only did I not expect 10cc... y'all just took me back to 1977 when I was 20, and we were expecting our first child.... life was hard for us, but much more simple and fun... thank you for stirring up those memories and y'all rock. I honestly think there's nothing that y'all can't do!!!
Haven't heard song this since the 70's. Once again, the great cover you would expect from this group.
Yes, takes me back to my early teens.
F&F goes beyond their extraordinary individual talents. F&F goes beyond their extraordinary collective talents. Each member brings their own positive frequency and vibration energy into every song they do.
F&F members are all honorable, wholesome, and considerate folks. Qualities that are in great need at present.
Part of the reason I enjoy their music so much is due to their positive energy raising my own frequency and vibration.
That energy brings me joy.
For me, that makes the music all the sweeter.
So great to hear a 10cc cover - and done so well!
Being in the Fossils age bracket, I love the 70's tunes....and as always, you absolutely nailed it!! This is outstanding. Thank you once again F&F for sharing your talents for all of us to enjoy!
They should try Workin' on a Groovy Thing, I swear these guys have the pipes to hang with the Fifth Dimension.....
The timing. The tonal range. The harmony. Joy!
grinning from ear to ear from start to finish
Wow! Fantastic And Special Well Done Tim xxx
Beautiful music , beautifully and respectfully done.
As is normally the case with F&F, this new video and song is totally worth the wait!
Once again, they hit a home run with this one. Absolutely worth it to become a patron to get the sneak peek of the releases - and this one made me giddy when I saw what it is.
Been watching them for a few years now, and still the way they Harmonize is right up top with a very select few bands. It amazes me, even there really old live ones are spot on
I've been an avid 10CC for a long time. Graham Gouldman is perhaps one of the greatest songwriters, producers, vocalists, and instrumentalists to have graced rock music. Tim, unbelievably once again you guys have nailed it. Too beautifully done for words. F&F shares the diversity of 10CC. F&F Forever!
F&F hitting their stride! Great cover!
I do believe Tim’s talent is underrated, just amazing.
Who rated his talent?
@@rdekemper The some people who rate replies to someone’s comment.
@@kerryklopfstein3307 Ahh, I see what you did there…I see this same trite comment all the time on different artists, no merit whatsoever F&F are exceptionally talented!
Thanks! 🍻
Damn spot on best cover for this 10CC hit.
WOW !! Amazing vocals. Band is awesome.
What blows me away is that Tim ends up with a tremendous mix despite the fact that the background vocals are all on the same mic! Natural blend because he can’t do much to balance it in post.
Vocal tracks are recorded separately and mixed, then they sing along to make the video.
Knocked it out of the park. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great arrangement. Great performance.
I’m a LP album rocker from the 70-90’s, having 500/600 LP albums. I’ve listened to this song 100’s times throughout the years. You guys nailed it.
Went to hit the like button but all ready hit it.👍👍👍👍👍 so I'll give you 5 thumbs up. Just sounds great, harmonies. Great team work.
Great song, beautiful rendition!! The drummer nailed the vocals and backup singers were fantastic. Loved it very much.
A BIG HELLO from Riverside in Southern California.God Bless You All.
Alan
Wow - I'm lost for words again! Your music is already at the other side of the planet - greetings and congratulations from Whangarei, New Zealand.
I so love it when all of you get together and belt out a song like this! Such a pleasure...each and every time.
Pretty darn good of a 10CC song.
Thanks guys and gals. You've made me appreciate the sophistication of the arrangement even more than the 10cc original!
Terrific harmony! Not an easy song to sing with all the modulations and key changes and such, but they nailed it. Well done, folks! Keep singing together, because your harmony is second to none!
My last comment was just two words,, but for this performance I should sure have a bunch more.. these people are the best!!! Tc from Nevada
This is OUTSTANDING! Vocals, harmonies, arrangement and, unless sampled, there's an old fashioned 'Leslie' speaker somwhere there. Brilliant. Thank you. Kind regards, Kev.
Right ON vary smooth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just heard The Things We Do For Love. With the exception of Scott King, it's so great to see all the members in the same studio! The musical communication between all the singers is quite nice to see and hear. The backing voices are amazing. The singers communicate with voices and eyes and smiles. Tim's lead with the ladies and Darwin holding up the harmonies shows how hard they worked on the arrangement. I especially like the mixing of the videos in and out. Kudos to the videographer and Tim! Whenever I get one of these, I immediately put it on my Facebook page and share what y'all are doing! Thanks!
Another awesome cover by a great group of professional musicians.
The foxes all sound amazing and the fossils make the music sound so good.
What a great combination.
Alright Tim! When this song started I thought " Oh no, Tim needs to Start in a lower key". Fantastic. Love this song. Love you F & F's version.👍
According to Tim,he has always worked out his arrangements by recording himself singing all of the vocal parts. With Chase back in Atlanta she has been helping him some. She can sing everything but the lower half of bass.
