It was 1,974, when I've listenened for the first time. Now in 2,024 brings me memories. Nothing have change in my mind, still in my memory those great times. I love Albert Hamnond's music for ever
Ich hatte die letzten Tage meine 1.Begegnung mit ihm. Ich kann nur sagen, er ist nicht nur ein Mensch, sein freundliches herzliches Wesen gleicht einem Engel.❤
For those of us who enjoyed these songs from the 70s, we're all a lot older, but he's still got it! His songs made a lot of big artists even more famous. Thanks for posting this video!
I don't remember how old I was when I first hear that song, but I wish I was born 10 years earlier, because the music from my generation didn't really sound like they back in the 60's and 70's
Música deliciosa como a Califórnia, que visitei em 1987/8 com familiares! A música retrata um pouco da alegria que encontramos lá! Saudades! 05/3/2021, Vera Lucia, RJ. BRASIL. ❤💙💚💛🌻🌻🌻🌸🌹🍀🍁🌺🍃🌷
I'm 32 and I became his fan recently, the man is out of league! He can sing mexican songs, adapt his voice to spanish vocals, have spanish/english versions of all the songs he wants and still keeps his voice fresh and his youthful but mature attitude. Albert Hammond is an extraordinary artist, I've been listening to all his songs ("Por un poco de tu amor", "Si me amaras", "No te vayas, "Eres toda una mujer", "Comprenderte", "These are the good old days", "The air that I breathe", obviously this song and "The free electric band" are my very favs) and I'm surprised about his sensibility, his poetry, his genius. Great to see him still performing, I'm in love with his talent.
@@benjaminramirez3953 Es "Échame a mi la culpa" compuesta por el gran Ferrusquilla. Albert la canta con mucho sentimiento y la verdad, le perdono que no tenga la voz de mariachi para hacerlo, él es fantástico.
I really love this song. I love classics. I've always been searching for this song, now I finally found it and Albert Hammond really age well. I'm his fan since I heard this song. 🙋😍
Love this song by Albert Hammond when it first came out almost 50 years ago, and I still love it. Love the lyrics and the story that was told which is "Don't chase a wild dream".

Published on Mar 21, 2013 Albert Hammond has been writing hit songs for over forty years. This is not to just to say that it has been forty years since his first hit. This is to say that there has not been a single decade in which Albert has not written multiple hits songs since he scored his first hit with "Little Arrows" at the age of 24. His songs have been responsible for the sale of over 360 million records worldwide including over 30 chart-topping hits. Many of his most beloved songs, like "The Air That I Breathe" and "When I Need You," have become hits multiple times with various artists, decade after decade. Albert achieved early success as an artist with his song "It Never Rains in Southern California," and he has since built a multi-faceted career as an artist, songwriter and producer in both English-speaking and Latin markets. What sets Albert Hammond apart as a songwriter, earning him induction into the Songwriters' Hall of Fame in 2008, is that Albert doesn't just write hits-he writes classics. He is one of very few songwriters of our time whose songs not only have the mass appeal to make them pop hits, but whose very same songs also have the timelessness and depth that over time turns them into standards. Few writers can successfully walk this line and deliver hits for the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and today. Albert's songs are the kind of songs that turn one-hit wonders into career artists and keep records selling and spinning on radio decades after their first release. Albert's songs have repeatedly topped the international pop, R&B, country, adult contemporary and Latin charts, sometimes simultaneously. Included among these are the #1 hits "When I Need You," "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" (nominated for an Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy), "One Moment in Time," and "To All the Girls I've Loved Before." Anthems like "One Moment in Time," which was written as the theme song for the 1988 Olympic games and won Albert his first Emmy, and "Cantare, Cantaras," the Spanish-market equivalent of "We Are the World," which Albert co-wrote and produced, are just two examples of Albert's ability to create lasting theme songs that live on in our collective consciousness. Albert is a master collaborator, lending his talents on guitar, piano and vocals to some of the business's most successful songwriting teams. He and longtime writing partner Mike Hazlewood co-wrote many of Albert's hits, including the classic "The Air that I Breathe." Albert also co-wrote multiple hits with Diane Warren, among them Chicago's "I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love," Starship's "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," Roy Orbison's "Careless Heart," Joe Cocker's "Don't You Love Me Anymore" and three-time hit "Don't Turn Around," recorded by Ace of Base, Neil Diamond and Aswad. Albert has also written hits with Hal David ("99 Miles from L.A.," "To All the Girls I've Loved Before") and John Bettis ("One Moment in Time," "When You Tell Me That You Love Me," and The Carpenters' hit "I Need To Be In Love"). The artists who have recorded Albert's songs are undoubtedly some of the greatest of our time-including Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Elton John, Joe Cocker, Diana Ross, Johnny Cash, K.D. Lang, Julio Iglesias and Josh Groban, to name just a few. In 2008, Albert was inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame and has also received the OBE (Order of the British Empire) from Queen Elizabeth II. His home country of Gibraltar will be honoring Albert with a commemorative postage stamp series which will feature his image and highlight his biggest international hits.
SGG, bet you didn't know all of the information Michael Caliri shared with us. Albert Hammond was probably far more talented than many of us knew just from his 70s songs. Thanks for sharing Michael Caliri!
WOW!!! And that was done without a SINGLE microphone cord, SINGLE guitar & bass cable or amp unit; NO mics on the drums OR over-head small diaphragm condenser mics on the strings AND no dynamic mics on the horns & single flute...or even the A/C power cord that juices up the keyboards! Amazing! Indeed, probably new live vocals from Hammond singing into an RF/Wireless microphone, but the background track was...as us old fart TV & radio broadcasters used to say in the 70's: "Portions of today's programming, was recorded at an earlier date." But the "NET EFFECT" I fully, fully understand...was to make it look "Beautiful, Effortless, Dreamy, Uncomplicated & Very Pleasing To The Eye"...and with that endeavor in mind...the "Production" was a success.

Before the Millenium, pop music in every decade has its very own characteristics (50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's). It seems that pop music stopped to evolve after that...
That is the best live performance of a record that I’ve heard. The backup musicians, flute and strings were right on and of course the voice of Albert. I listen to this over and over again.
Al u still got it. U sound just like yester year. Great job. Love the guitars. This the best song I've heard and the person singing is still fantastic. !!!!😂😂😂😂😂😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤bravo.
