The era of Madness’s more mature song writing. Starting with the albums- ‘Rise & Fall’, ‘Keep Moving’ & ‘Mad not Mad’ then later ‘The Madness’ featured absolutely outstanding songwriting.
When this one first came out I thought that Suggs had been replaced! but later discovered it was Cathal Smyth, totally loved it! very different from suggs.
Such an amazing song which sadly didn't get played live much (probably not at all since Chas' departure). I'm so glad to have seen them play it at Madstock.
his voice wasnt that bad and he should have sang more songs then he did ....madness just isint the same anymore without chas smith in it but thats how it goes
people saying the black women singing weren’t needed but they are staying true to the record it has women on the released version , same as wings of a dove
The Multi talented David Carrack, always unexpectedly popping up in other bands. I was genuinely surprised seeing him singing lead vocals in the video for Squeeze’s song Tempted By The Fruit Of Another.
Excellent tune! For live, I personally would’ve preferred not having the backing gals contributing, that’s just something more suitable for a studio production.
Okay, when this came out, I wasn't even a pre-schooler, but... I'd like to think that if I had had the chance to be in that audience, I would have been dancing like crazy, no matter what the people around me might have thought. Just sayin'.
Not one of there greatest performances, The band were basically fighting to keep their heads above water around this time and as they've said " when mike left they should of called it a day" .
'This other dude' ?!?! Mate, that's the legendary Mr. Chas Smash / Cathal Smyth you're talking about. Is Suggs a better singer, probably yeah/maybe, but Carl ain't no 'other dude', okay?!
@@Greatest1979 very well put freind and the band just isint the same without chas in it use to love him in all there videos this plank doesnt know what hes going on about............... sadly missed hopefull one day hell return
