This video brought me to tears. My father, Arthur Ashford, one of the Precisions, would have been so proud to know that his music is living on in young people. I know he's looking down smiling, but I just can't stop crying!!! Thank you for this! My heart is full....
I stumbled on this in an old American Bandstand video... took a lot of digging but I finally pieced together the lyrics. AMAZING song.... lordy lordy. God bless your daddy. Hugs.
I was blessed to meet Billy Prince a few months ago and has him sign my single of this dynamite track!! Dancing to this always bring a tear to my eye and a smile to my face! Forever keeping the faith!*
I was born and raised in Detroit and was 11 when this was released. And it’s still a great song! So good to see that kids in the UK appreciate this great music! It does me good! So nice!
Amidst our lock down Soul offers much salvation. Oh how I miss getting out on the floor, this brings it all back. Till then its a kitchen floor groove . !! KTF. Rich
Not many things make the hair on the back of my neck stand up.......but this track certainly does ,absolutely love it,and so many lovely young ladies dancing......fabulous!!! So from Northampton KTF
Where is this is not a film is it,great to see young soulies loving classical tunes. While this lives on there is still hope for us all, sorry emotional
i love my fellow Detroiter's! The young people in the UK are AMAZING DANCERS! They are really gettin down to "If This is Love", one of my favorite Percisions tunes. :) Barbara Mercer
You know the difference when we were young and danced all night it was v dark .don't point your cameras at my big eyes. But this cool love the passion.
There were no mobile phone divas there and any photos had red eye lol everyone wants to be a Star now. You can tell some go to dance lessons the moves dont flow. The kids should move with the times not try and get into something retro. Too many peacocks dancing to played out oldies.
Of course it's Motown, Philadelphia Sound, etc.... ship loads of young Brits would arrive on American shores and literally buy boxes and boxes that those big recording studios either didn't release and rejected or judged it unworthy. The Brits took them back to the UK and sold thousands of these RB/Soul sound recordings that the "suits" were too dumb and stupid to realize there was a huge market for. Nothing has ever changed in the recording business, that is why I always tell everyone to only buy self made or small studio releases. Most of the popular sh?t on the radio is sometimes not half as good as what most independent artists are creating. Remember that the Beatles were rejected by every major label... when they had enough money they bought their own studio and recorded what no one else would have allowed... the rest is history.

I know this is a Northern Soul sound but for me it’s more Motown. Great tune though 💃🕺
