Beautiful, beautiful voice and a definite match for Art Garfunkel. Always loved Colin's songs. I used to sing along and was able to hit the high notes with him! Can't manage it these days.....🥲
I believe this clip is from a BBC show called The Old Grey Whistle Test, in the Spring of 1972. The show appeared around 11:30 on a weeknight (Thursday?), and if you can ever find the original broadcasts, you'd see some of the great, and upcoming, rock artists of the day... somewhat like Jools Holland's show decades later. Colin also performed "I Don't Believe in Miracles" on this episode. One of the greatest vocalists ever!
Always loved this my dad played it all time he had a K TEL album early 70's blue cover with artists in rings i'm 51 my era was 80's but will never forget music my dad played sadly he passed 2 years ago
hiya jane i had the same album myself i think it was called 20 dynamic hits(by the original artists) late 1971-early 1972 i think. i was still at college when i bought it. sorry for the loss of your dad. i played this album till it wore out.
Thsnk you so much to the artist who put this on yt. He's a beautiful looking man with such an incredible deeply deeply melancholic mesmerising, intensity. Burns my soul yet lifts my spirit somehow. Remarkable
I stiill have the original vinyl record ! Love it, what a voice - was desperately in love with this guy (think i still am!) Loved all his stuff and i still play the lp's. You ROCK Colin !!! xxx
GREATEST FALSETTO EVER !!!!!!!!!!! Makes me crazy every time- we just saw him last night - Ft Lauderdale sold out - CRAZY great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was 15 or 16.. head full of dreams.. what a magical time.. infatuated with any pretty girl .. from a distance of course.. lots of trouble.. drinking .. police.. just pure madness.. would give anything to re-live the whole episode.. just pure emotion..
Listened to this on the Johnny Walker Sounds of the 70s show on the radio whilst driving my car. Hadn’t heard it in years. Such a beautiful song. Originally released by Denny Laine to not much success, Colin revamped it and with his wonder vocal range alongside the strings completely changed the song. Wonderful.
Brings back fond childhood memories for me of long hot summers on a Sunday afternoon at home with the family listening to the radio, this and many other classics like it would play, I remember thinking I couldn't wait to grow up and go out there to see what the world was like, well I did, did and I have seen it and all I can say is.....I must have been out of my tiny little mind, I had it made back then and I was too stupid to realize, such is life Lol, thanks for the upload :)
It is a great song written by Denny Laine of course but Colin Blunstone is such a great interpreter of songs that he makes this version even better than the original if that is possible :)
I guess is needless to say how beautiful are the lyrics and his performance. Also, Colin looks really really good! Can't remember if I ever saw his face before. His eyes resemble Patrick Swayze's and Robert Sean Leonard could be his double - except for his nose, and eye color maybe. The audio quality is amazing and the volume is fine. Thanks for sharing.
