GUYS IM SO SORRY I WAS HALF SLEEP WHEN I PUT IT AND I MIXED IT ALL UP I JUST FIXED IT MY BAD EVERYONE AND THE SAMPLE IM THINKING OF IS NOT DAWN ( NOT SURE WHO THAT IS ) THE ONE IM TALKING ABOUT WAS SANG BY LLOYD
@gigi v yes Gary was the song writer him and his younger brother (considered the good looking one in the group) went on to star as Ronnie and Reggie kray (real London gangsters) in the krays.gary was Whitney Houston's manager in the bodyguard and Martin was on soap opera EastEnders.
You made a mistake you're human and no one is perfect. Keep doing your awesome reactions. Jayy best of the best hands down. 🤘🤘🤘👍👍
I'm not sure what happened. Or what you think you need to apologize for. No worries! You have nothing to feel bad about! You are just fine. Things happen, and nobody's ever going to blame you for a tiny mistake. Hell, I think truly most of us that absolutely adore you, and watch your post understand that things happen, and we will always have your back! Love you sweetheart! You just keep doing this wonderful thing that you do, and we will always love you for it!
Really Good Reaction Jayy.
This is yet another London Band, of which there used to be an endless supply and the 2 other prominent members are identical twins who starred as the Gangster Kray Brothers in the 1990 Film : " The Krays" :)
@@Isleofskye Gary Kemp the song writer was born in 1959 his bro Martin Kemp who plays bass was born in 1961 both October.
London gangsters the krays were twins born October 1933.did you mean the krays?
This is the original. An iconic song that will last the test of time. Fantastic, timeless song.
1983. Original version. Massive No1 in the UK. Written by the band, Sampled by PM Dawn in 1990s.
Written by Gary Kemp from the band, as bar a couple of songs he wrote all of their stuff.
Awesome song! All of us born in the late 60's, or early 70's, and grew up in the 80's can relate to this song! It's a wonderful marker in time for us!
I was born in 97 and I've known this song since I was a kid. I know a lot of the 60s, 70s,, 80s and 90s and certain older songs I'll never get sick of no matter how many times I hear them. Like take Slade for example my grandad loves them so I've known their music since I was little and I never get sick of them even though I've heard them hundreds of times but I always turn the music loud and sing along and they always cheer me up because it reminds me of growing up so they always make me happy
I apologise about the bad grammar and spelling as well sorry
last dance school disco !
He has such a great voice. So many talented artists in the 80s. A great time to experience music
"Listening to Marvin all night long ...." I guess that tells us who was an influence on these guys, huh? Hey, and I LOVED your reaction and comments.
Yes, I would imagine that whoever used the "ah ha ha ha ha" part would have had to pay in order to use that well-known part. These guys were SO talented with their ability to play those instruments and sing. Just one of the best songs of the decade (the 80's).
They also did a song called, When Smokey sings. Another one of their influences.
@Jonathan Gordon. The British group ABC did the sing When Smokey Sings, not Spandau Ballet.
Gary and Martin Kemp we’re sued by the other 3 members of Spandau after a disagreement in song royalties, Tony, John and Steve lost the case and Gary Kemp pretty much earns most of the royalties as he was the song writer for many of their greatest songs including being the songwriter for TRUE.
Yes Jayy, this is the original, and it's easily one of the best songs of the eighties era.
It's a cover, but it's the best version.
@@incredibleadventures1027 PM Dawn did a cover of this song. SB did the original.
Spandau ballet are a British group from the 80s one of many bands from the UK that were massive hits around the world. The song here TRUE was written by Gary Kemp in his teenage years as a leading band member a tribute to Motown artist Melvin Gaye the whole tempo and style was there signature sound Melvin is mentioned in the song the guitar player his twin brother is on the Drums they have never done a cover song they were in there day far too talented check out one of there other big hits ""beyond the barricades ""😁👍
I know this much is true
@@incredibleadventures1027 its an original written by Gary Kemp
Still a brilliant song even after 40 years
The album Gold is full of amazing songs. My favourite is Through the Barricades.
P.M Dawn did a huge sample of the intro called " set adrift on memory bliss " big hit too, this is the original song and artist
Ah PM Dawn!! What great music they put out…
Yeah, I think other stuff maybe sampled it too, not to mention use in commercials. Original source here!
PM Dawn! Omg yes :) Totally forgot about them. I can't remember what album it was but the one of theirs that was super popular has a duet on it with Boy George called More Than Likely, sooooo good!
@@MamaNaeNae that one is such a great song!!!
I love song too ❤️❤️
If you went to a junior high dance in the 80's this song was guaranteed to close out the night.
Tony has an incredible voice and so glad you gave this a listen because a lot of today's samples come from the greats like this.
Vocals : Tony Hadley, Backing vocals : Gary & Martin Kemp
Drums : John Keeble, Guitars : Gary Kemp, Bass : Martin Kemp, Saxophone : Steve Norman
#4 USA #1 UK
One of the best songs of the 80's
They're from North London, England. Big in the early to mid 80s. 'Gold' is my favourite track of theirs
Gotta be one of the sweetest and most heartfelt songs of the 80's, and there were a LOT of sweet, sappy 80's songs. 😊
Probably one of the greatest songs of the early 80s. Tonys voice is sublime and when Martin comes in with the rhythm guitar at the end the song is notched up to truly wonderful. Spandau at its very best.
I loved this song from the first time I heard it in the 80's. Tony Hadly's voice is just so clear and clean.
One of best 80s tracks ever
Yes I agree with you on that one also I can play this song over & over that's how much I love it classic
Yes Jayy, this is the original. Great songs get sampled a lot. My favorite is "Ventura Highway", by America. Janet Jackson sampled it for, "Someone to Call My Lover".
I grew up in the 60s and 70s but there a few songs from the eighties I loved. This is one of them. This is the original from the eighties.
I never clicked a reaction so fast. This has always been a favorite of mine and Tony Hadley is absolute 🔥. So glad you enjoyed this classic!!!
Besides Gold charting in the top 40 This was Spandau Ballet’s highest chart entry on the US billboard hot 100 reaching number 4 in early 1983 and are very much considered a ‘one hit wonder’ in the states compared to their much greater success in Europe and their native UK where TRUE reached the Top of the charts. As a fan of Tony Hadley and Spandau it’s great to see so many of these reaction videos and this timeless song being given the recognition it deserves.
fun fact, Sade was their clothes designer before she was famous
That explains the swag. Beautiful outfits. Somehow saxophone player solo reminds me of her single Smooth Operator...
I absolutely love your reaction to this 80s classic! Liked and subscribed 😍😍😍 Thanks so much!!!!
So glad to see your smiling face. Just watching you brightens my day.
(Former) Lead Singer Tony Hadley still has the pipes in 2021!
Yeah, it's definitely heart-melting. That's exactly how I felt when I first heard it as a 13 year-old back in the day. ☺️
Jayy. You got hit with that 80's nostalgia! ABC - Look of Love is a good reaction to follow this one! My mom says I would do the baby dance to this when I was 2 lol
True is one of the most player putting his foot DOWN sexy jams of the CENTURY!!! Those musicians are simply powerful and succinctly golden.
You are correct Jayy; the R&B song was sampled from this song. Spandau ballet was the heat. They only had a few songs go mainstream, but they had a good following from their fans. These cats also dressed up like GQ a lot too. They were too smooth. Review their song Gold and Communication.
Another group/duo called P.M. Dawn sampled this song "True" in their No. 1 U.S. pop hit from 1991 called "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss." It's psychedelic soft hip-hop and a very colorful, trippy music video. :-)
One of my favorites!
This is from an era of when music was really music when the song writers literally wrote songs with feelings and rhythms and beats that would surpassed time and be timeless. I feel super proud to be part of the last generation of real music.
Facts upon facts 💯
Yes. This is DEFINITELY the original. I really enjoyed your reaction!!
Great pick! And the guy who wrote the song and played the piano in the video is Gary Kemp who you might know him in the movie The Bodyguard as Whitney Houston's publicist.
i would think every generation believes that the music of their youth was the best, but im an 80's teen and i truly believe it was a golden era for music
This is one of those songs that I heard so much over the years I just tune it out when it comes on now. But experiencing it with you and other reactors gives me a new appreciation for it because I notice things I never did, like how amazing his voice really is. Now I actually enjoy the song again! If you ever want to do more Spandau Ballet, I really love Gold and Only When You Leave. Oh and yes, this is the original. They created this song. 🙂
Wrong title and probably thinking PM Dawns sampled this for Set adrift on memory bliss
Jayy - maybe you've heard it already but give Avalon a listen - by Roxy Music..... very similar smooth voice...
This song was also in the movie The Wedding Singer with Adam Sandler & Drew Barrymore. They changed the words a little in that version.❤️
I yearn for the early '80s when I hear this, it was TRUE-LY a great time to be a teenager.
Jayy spandau ballet received a lot of airplay in the eighties that’s for sure!! And you are so looking outstanding in this video!!😘😘😘😘😘 yep sweetheart that is definitely the sax.
When the Spandau's first appeared, their lead singer was sporting tartan and the group was riding the frayed coat-tails of synthesizer-pop. But when you sound like Tony Hadley, blue-eyed soul is obviously the direction you should go in! Part of the movement dubbed 'The New Romantics', their lifespan was actually pretty short but lives on in nostalgia.
This was a Group that many epitomized Blue Eyed Soul and helped epitomize The British Invasion. You are probably thinking of Set Adrift On Memory Bliss by De La Soul. The Lead Singer was also in the Video. Another Member Martin Kemp would later act on The UK Soap Opera Eastenders where he played Steve Owen. His Wife is Shirley Holiman who was The Blond Haired Lady in Wham. Also they pay homage to Marvin Gaye that other Singers of done like Elton John, Maze (Featuring Frankie Beverly), The Commodores (Sans Lionel Richie) and Diana Ross and Bobby Brown.
Yep, this is the original. True is an underrated great song.
LMAO at video title. Also Spandau Ballet's song 'GOLD" is much more upbeat.
What a smooth song...I naturally gravitate to heavier music but c'mon you just can't deny how good this song is
Jayy You've got the wrong title on this video!
This was THE SLOW JAM of the Mid-Eighties! It's used in just about every '80's Rom Com movie.
And school/youth club disco ;-)
Their name is pronounced Spandow Ballay. This song has been sampled by P.M. Dawn for their song Set Adrift On Memory Bliss from 92. This song is part of the Sixteen Candles movie soundtrack from 86. React to their song Gold please.
Yeah, that part of this 1983 song has been sampled a number of times, maybe most famously in PM Dawn's 1991 hit "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss."
Really Good Reaction Jayy.
This is yet another London Band, of which there used to be an endless supply and the 2 other prominent members are identical twins who starred as the Gangster Kray Brothers in the 1990 Film : " The Krays" :)
In one of my old jobs, we'd be working on overtime and we would take our time doing it. We called it Ballet time.. Because every job we got we would Span it out. "Spanned Out Ballet". We'd span out the work so we got more cash... lol
It's great to see someone open their mind.
one of the greatest 80's songs ever, even one of the greatest of all time. Classic
Don't know much about this group or any other of their songs, but I could put this on loop.
Spandau Ballet are AMAZING!!! I suggest Through The Barricades 🙌🙌
This Song..one of the BEST ever.💯
I count myself as blessed to have grown up listening to this music.. One of the biggest hits of 83
This song is so iconic. I love 80s movies and this was in Sixteen Candles. That’s what I always think of when I hear it.
Span-Dow Ballet. This was a strange and good emo Crossover from Latter New Wave and Motown groove.
More 80s New Wave! Great song, brings back memories. Yes, this is the original. It's been sampled quite a few times.
Spandau Ballet's, Through The Barricades is also a great song.
Yess been requesting jayy to react to that for months now 😂
If you like this, Jayy, then you also gotta check out "Every Time You Go Away" by Paul Young.
I watched so many reaction videos to this song. One thing is common, everyone knew the the opening quite well even though they never heard the song in it's entirety.
A song from my teenage years. Golden 80's.
You had to be excellent with your vocals. Everything had to be perfect.
Such a beautiful song 🙏 listen to Through The Barricades which was about a love between two people from Ireland separated by religion ... blessing from the UK🙏
'Spot the Sample' used to be a favourite game in what you would term high school, but the first time I heard this sampled was on PM Dawn's 'Set Adrift on Memory Bliss' (which, depressingly, is about 30 years ago now). If you've got a good hook, then why not use it. Songwriter Gary Kemp (who you can see on piano, providing the 'Ooo's) certainly won't mind...
This is the original. A #1 record here in Canada. Beautiful song! ♥️♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
And 25 other countries, truly.
Classic 80's hit!!!! I think the band's name is pronounced "Span Dow" Ballet
I gave up, and just called them SPONGEBOB BANDIT
"I would have never, ever known that (the sample) wasn't the original." That's the intent. To pass off someone else's work and talent as their own.
The original, is the best☺ Tony Hadley has a great voice! Unfortunately most people under 40, have grown up with too much sampling- and have never heard most of the original songs- which is sad!
Jayy, Next you must react to these songs from Spandau . B : "Gold", "Through the Barricades", "I Fly for you", "Only when you leave" " Highly Strung", "Round and Round", & "To Cut a long story short", trust me you will go crazy and love them all. Ronny
As to the name of the band the lead singer was in a club in Berlin and saw "Welcome to the Spandau Ballet" written on the wall and liked it and the band changed their name to it. After WWII Nazi prisoners were held in Spandau prison in Berlin and British soldiers called hanging Nazis going to the Spandau Ballet because of the way their feet would kick while hanging. The band didn't know what it meant but liked the way it sounded so they used it for their name.
This was sampled in “Set Adrift On Memory Bliss” by P.M. Dawn
This is the original. You should do "Only When You Leave" and "Gold" by this band as well
This True by Spandau Ballet
Those who can't... STEAL!
No question it's an extremely elegant song. Brings back memories from the 1980's slow dancing to this song with my crush during my early college days.
watching your reaction to this is like watching you meet an old, dear friend of mine ❤️
Welcome to real music the last great era was the 80 s after that the music died it’s not as good anymore
Interesting fact...the suits the guys wore in the video were designed by none other than Ms. Helen Folasade Adu better known as Sade and one of the Kemp brothers (keyboard and saxophone ) appeared in the Whitney Houston Kevin Costner movie The Bodyguard
I loved your reaction! It's definitely the original.
Gary Kemp on guitar, synthesizer and backing vocals and his brother Martin Kemp on bass and background vocals are brothers, and they have also acted. They played the notorious British gangster twins The Krays (that's the title of the movie - Gary and Martin are *not* twins irl, though) who terrorized England in the late '50s to '67. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kray_twins
Now this is why I read comments. I never knew any of this!
So 80s, So 🎷y...😎. Super reaction!
Hola Jayy, yep this song has now become iconic in stature as one of the slow, sensual romance song of the 80s. Beautiful and wonderful.
It is the original,loads of bands have used it ,love you 😘😘
This is one of the most beautiful pop songs ever. 💕
There isn’t much new under the sun … today’s R and B isn’t really R and B it’s nothing like it. You can’t beat the songs of the past
This is the Blue-Eyed Soul of the 1980's
THE ICICLE WORKS "BIRDS FLY" (WHISPER TO A SCREAM)
This song was huge in the 80s... played at every school dance/prom/etc. Lots of nostalgia.
If you played GTA Vice City, you'll recognise Spandau Ballet's other song 'Gold'.
This is the original...The 80's ROCKED!!
This is the original.
I used to work for a skip company many years ago and I took an order from one Anthony Hadley ie: the lead singer here. Love Spandau Ballet. The 80's had so many great songs.
I have now gone down a PM Dawn, Soul 2 Soul rabbit hole...me likey.
Most recognisable sample of this was PM Dawn - Set Adrift on Memory Bliss
PM Dawn sampled it on "Set adrift on memory bliss".....which was also a great song.
I need to order a double-breasted pinstripe suit. Bringing it back!
I sure do WISH, WISH, WISH that you had a bigger video screen so we could watch along with you. It's so small I have to put on my glasses and then I still have to squint to see it 😔. Is there anyway possible to enlarge the video screen?? Maybe if you were to buy a computer, or laptop this would definitely increase not only the quality of the picture but the sound as well. Maybe set up an account through PayPal, and we your loyal subscribers could send a small donation so you could bring us all your amazing video reactions!!! Just a thought my friend ☺️🙂☺️🙂🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
