Lyrics -
Hearts gone astray, deep in hurt when they go
I went away, just when you, you need me so
You won't regret, I come back beggin' you
Won't you forget, welcome love we once knew
Open up your eyes then you realize
Here I stand with my everlasting love
Need you by my side, girl to be my bride
You'll never be denied, everlasting love
From the very start, open up your heart
Feel that you're part of everlasting love
Need a love to last forever
Need a love to last forever
Where life really flows, no one really knows
Till someone's there to show the way to lasting love
Like the sun it shines, endlessly it shines
You always will be mine, if eternal love
Whenever love went wrong, ours would still be strong
We'd have our very own everlasting love
Need a love to last forever
Need a love to last forever
Open up your eyes then you realize
Here I stand with my everlasting love
Need you by my side, girl to be my bride
You'll never be denied, everlasting love
From the very start, open up your heart
Be a lasting part of everlasting love
Whenever love went wrong, ours would still be strong
We'll have our very own everlasting love
So he was 17 years old and put in front of a 40 piece orchestra and told to do it.
Then he nails it in two takes!
Absolutely astonishing.
I know it's amazing ! Of anyone has ever recorded before you will know it can sometimes take a few times ..unless your well rehearsed. But he just did it incredible
At seventeen, boys can be pretty fearless.
Everlasting Love is an everlasting song! Timeless Classic! ❤❤❤
This song will last forever. Just perfect.
Everlasting love has been with me all my life (I'm 58) I never get bored of it, probably because it's so damn perfect.
Thankyou Steve Ellis.
I am 66 and also with me my whole life!
Absolutely I'm 63
Perfectly sums up the magic of the 1960's an absolute classic 👌
This is one of those tracks that no matter how many times you hear it, is like a shot of pure magic.
Blue-eyed soul at its finest.
Every time I hear it it's like the first time all over again. The energy is off the scale...💖
That's so very true, never get tired of hearing it, the intro to the song along with the orchestral backing and singers was (and still is) absolutely outstanding.I honestly still get that same wonderful feeling that it gave me in December 1967 as a 15 year old when it was released and then went on to become number one in February 1968 .Yes, as Steve Ellis says here about the production of this record "weve something special here ". Brilliant record !
Um... 'Blue-eyed soul' ... ? What's that exactly?
@@oliviastar3812Old time term for white guys singing their heart out in 60s soul music style, bit like Chris Farlow Out of Time, the Righteous Bros, Joe South, Tony Joe White, or Dusty Springfield as one of few women in that style.
Lots of it on Wikipedia
Is it just me or does everyone wait for, then tap out the drum solo.
I think this one of the best feel good songs ever.
I'm grateful for having lived at the time of this music.
What a great voice and only 16 years old... brilliant..luv this song
What a great voice I loved all your hits takes me back to when I was younger and what a handsome young man Steve Ellis was in them days x.
@@carolheath2348 Yes, a group of young man with so much passion and love, that's why is timeless !
Steve Windwood of the Spencer Davis Group had an effect on me, making me.
It made me believe he was a black American soul singer, not a white English teenager with the most amazing and distinctive voice.
Everlasting Love is a classic from the 60s and is timeless.
Everlasting Love is THE most perfect pop song ever . Simple as that .
Can't argue with that
I'd qualify it with 'one of' but you'd probably beat me up.
nuff said!!!!!!
so they had a 40 peice orchestra for the backing track !
Epitomises pop/soul music at its best
Loved this group for 50 plus years never tire off listening to the boys I am 70 now and still listening to the music ..will never die
You'll be dead by Friday.
Hope they made loads of money and weren’t ripped off . Loved this group so much and his voice was amazing
No: they didn't.
I never get tired of listening to this song ....its absolutely great from the wonderful Steve Ellis.
Whatever you say Steve.
This song is iconic.
Still played at weddings by young people even to this day.
Plus it's a floor filler with them too!
One of the greatest vocal performances, ever.
I never get tired of hearing this song.
Steve looks rightly proud of this eternally great record. The voice, the arrangement, the song, it all just comes together.
Steve, to sing like that at 17 was absolutely amazing!
Superb band, superb songs and you smashed it!
Loved the Love Affair. I was early teens when this came out!! It was the best music of that time.
14 year old drummer?? Their amazing. His voice is beautiful too - 16?? Wow.
*they're
17
This song is haunting and takes me back to being a little girl with mum mum playing it. I only found it again a couple of years ago and hadn’t realised he was so young. He sounds like a grown man. It is simply amazing on all levels.
Steve Ellis did a magnificent job.
more than that
This is one of my favourite songs of all time, and what a voice 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
" We've got something Special ", that had to be the understatement of the year !, 'Everlasting Love' was THE !, sixties anthem , a very special song., perfection !. Whenever you hear it today it's hard to believe it was all those years ago, ie, the sixties, the best time ever to be alive !
Still raises the hair on my neck everytime I hear it.
It's weird isn't it. The sound of it isn't 'timeless' - that amazing huge orchestral pop/soul sound is firmly locked down in the 60s. But the chords, melody, chorus lyrics and brilliant vocal performance are eternal!
Rocka tansky fantastic song and brilliant singer. I was in love with Steve when I was 15 😍
Seriously one of the best songs ever. Great singer.
For all you people out there interested in knowing who the 2 girls in the video were - THE GIRL WITH THE HAT IS AUSTRIAN ACTRESS AND CABARET PERFORMER DOLORES SCHMIDINGER ( THIS WAS ON AUSTRIAN TV ) AND THE LONG BLONDE HAIR GIRL IS SUPPOSEDLY STEVE ELLIS'S MUM WHO ACCOMPANIED THEM AS HE WAS ONLY 16/17 YRS OLD.
Thank you, so much! I often wondered! 😊
Quite frankly I think she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Steve Ellis's mum that is!!
That’s ridiculous
Just a wonderful song, brings back so many memories and I guess a touch of sadness that my life has shot by when it was such a great era for music 😢
What ever happened to Steve's mum who was in this video
One of my favourite songs, ever, the video is outstanding too.
This great song and the easybeats Friday on my Mind are unparalleled imo , they are the sounds of the fantastic 60s
Eternal masterpiece of Pop. Never forget Everlasting Love. 🎼🎬🎤🥁🎷🎸🎺🎻🎧🎯😃🏅
This song reminds me of being 15, to me it was the best thing I'd ever heard. I loved Steve Ellis so much. Happy happy memories.
I really fancied Steve Ellis.
This song brings back the good times In my life
Amazing song for an amazing time.
Knockout vocal. Absolutely nailed it. Passionate, strong, rhythmic and absolutely not soppy.
Best intro to a song ever. And such a 'grown up' song (the words/message) from someone so young.
At the age of 61 I've only recently discovered this song through You Tube reactors! Honestly that video looks much more modern - like an 80's band doing a cover with retro-created visuals! Fantastic song!
I’m 61 too and this has been a favourite my entire life, and you’re right it looks like from now like you said ❤
I'm.67 and I remember this well. Saturday afternoon dance at my local Market Hall in Wales. I was 11/12. Brought back so many memories.
Never ever ever, did I think the guy singing was that young. He sounds like someone well trained and has been singing for years.
Bass line to die for brass, strings what a song plus Ellis vocals brilliant
I've always loved this song. Steve Ellis has a great voice!
One of the greatest pop soul tracks of all time with the perfect soul voice to deliver it -sounds as good now as ever.
Great Great fantastic song , would love to go back to those days , love it
Steve a terrific song and performance!!! I see you just turned 69! I will be 70 in November!!! Thanks for sharing your talent!!!
Thanks Steve and everyone involved for making this song. It never fails to make me smile and want to dance. Thank you so much.
One of the everlasting great songs from the 60’s, and probably of all time.
These kids were so cute. Loved watching them and love the song. How talented! Too bad music has changed so much these days .. and not in a good way 🥰👍
Everlasting love was my turning point. A young totally naive 17yr old that met a DJ who was to transform my life! I danced and danced for ever it seemed! I was totally bewitched! Got pregnant for the DJ and launched into Northern Soul. As one of the few who was living in a flat at the time I had loads of visitors that my parents would have been totally bewildered by! I passed A-level art at the age of 13 and drew a portrait of Steve as I was bewitched! A few years later in my life I met a partner who along with me ran a reggae sound system - my portrait of Steve was pride of place in the record box - alongside Bob Marley and Steel Pulse! I have so many treasured memories! Am watching TH-cam and other channels and I love it! Nearly 70 now and virtually crippled ( not my backside!) so dancing sitting down but still loving it! My kids(4girls) are carrying on the trend hehehe! Love to everyone out there with soul 😊😊😊🤭
🥰🥰🥰
A very rare gem, never to come again…..ever lasting love…..perfectly sung and beautiful to hear
listened to the song for the first time recently, ... loved it ... and great.
The voice is beautiful.
I was 14 yrs old when I first heard this Song ......my heart flipped and still flips now when I hear it at the age of 64 ...... this was the only Song that wud get me up on the Dance Floor at the Locarno in 1969 .......❤
Listening in 2019 and its bloody brilliant.

My view exactly.
2020 still great

One of the best songs from the 70’s 💃🏻 & saw Steve live in Aberdeen a few years ago… made my day 🥰
It's my favourite song of all time . Young steve ellis had a fantastic voice . I remember thinking that it was an American group when I first heard it ? But it brought so much joy to my life , and still does today. !! ❤❤
Steve is still pumping out his great songs,oldies and new ones,try catch him on the 60s shows that pop up around the country,same great voice and a great personality.
Fantastic personality
I remember this great song as if it were just yesterday. I also was 16 when this song hit the charts. Unforgettable, even after all these years!!
My favourite record of all time, loved Steve Ellis - 7th April x
as soon as i heard it . i thought .. thats a number one ..
Love ❤️ is forever, if we don't have love ,we have nothing...
I always remember this song being all over the radio in the 1970s - it was areal surprise to see it was released in the sixties.
2022 and still loving this track, my favourite 60s hit!
Love Steve Ellis ! He was so HOT back in his younger years Woof!! Great song!!! Glad he is still around performing! He seems like a nice guy
One of my favourite 60s songs
Beautiful voice ! My father used to play this that’s how I got on to it I was born in 68 so I got the best of that time into the 70’s and beyond !
Wonderful

At 53yrs of age, this song always gets turned up to max....Timeless, and a seminal point in music....My Son, included this song in a thesis on music for hie degree....Magical....

A brilliant song.. perfect in everywsy
Great song great voice. The Love Affair were fantastic in fact Bringing On Back The Good Times was the first record I ever bought and I've still got it.
Rainbow Valley was pretty good as well. But Everlasting Love will always be the masterpiece.
I was around 10 when this came out,i had no idea the singer was only 7 years older than me!!!,what an amazing voice.
Can't believe such great music came out of such young people but it did glad to have been young in those days
The whole production of this song is simply perfect .
Have it on a single vynyl still, always a favourite of mine , along with Rainbow valley.
Steve Ellis was so gorgeous. Still good looking today.
He was and is….the image of my very first boyfriend in the late 60s. Oh such memories!
Steve's singing voice is amazing but to think he was only 17 when he sang this song is other-worldly. 💜💚
Steve Ellis cantou essa música que ficou na história. Gto. p\ postar.
Amazing to think Steve was only 17 Singing this and the Drummer 14 . Still a great song to this Day ." Bringing on back the good times " Right enough !
Omg cannot stop listening love ❤️ love ❤️ it that voice
I have loved the Carl Carlton version since 1974 when I was in high school. Only recently discovered that the same song was also released by Robert Knight in 1967, the same year that Steve Ellis and Love Affair also recorded it. The Love Affair version hit #1 in the UK in 1968. I absolutely love the Love Affair video and the story behind that group.
Love Affair recorded it already in 1967. It made Nr. 1 in the UK in January 1968.
@@1258-Eckhart Thank you for the correction. The big question is Who is the blonde dancing in the background of the Love Affair video? Is she Steve Ellis' mother who accompanied the band to the recording studio in Austria because they were so young?
That I don't know! @@MarkM-sm6pb
Still gives me chills and sweet memories.
