Paul Carrack - How Long (Air Studios 2010) 

That was an Era that will never be replaced. We were blessed

WHOLE VIBE ❤❤❤❤!!! I'm a 62 year old black female and let me tell you, I MISS this kinda music! REAL MUSIC BY REAL ARTISTS! Best music back then and I am here and present for it!! ❤!

The incomparable voice of Mr. Paul Carrack. When God was handing out musical talent, Paul asked for seconds.

Paul Carrack is all that and a bag of chips, and a 1970’s quality Coke. I love hearing his voice in all of the groups he’s been part of (and in his solo days). Talent galore. Unlike the tripe that’s considered top 10 hits nowadays. Yep. I’m old and have had the privilege of listening to real music made by real musicians and singers. Those were the days, kids.

I’m 67 and still grooving to this music!! 70’s were the best ever and great memories 💖💕💃

I’m 72, played bass for 50+ years, what great music this is with great musicians. Thanks Paul and incredible band from Western Australia.

Not just a classic song... but how can Paul Carrack's voice get even BETTER with age? Amazing clip and very classy - everyone dressed nicely , playing live, and of course the audio quality is excellent.

AWESOME I’m 65 and still LOVE this❤❤❤

God, I miss the 70’s.. there was no music like it..

Paul Carrack has such a beautiful voice and is one of the most underrated musicians of his era. Who else agrees with me?

Real music voices. Playing instruments ❤

Happy Birthday to me. Great song those were the days. May 7 th 2024. Born 1955. I Have had a good RUN and still kicking.❤❤

The Man With The Golden Voice - the most underrated vocalist in music

his songs have lifted me. 74 cancer, faith does me well.❤

Best times ever … we were blessed to have this in our lives my brothers and sistas ! 😘

So glad I grew up in a generation that got to enjoy so much great music, nothing fake, real meaning, great vocals and backing.

This is what real music sounds like.!!

As a 25 year old stumbling upon this hammered over the weekend. I can proudly say I’ve listen to this groovy tune non stop since Friday. What a song.

Always LOVED "How Long", but this version takes the freakin' cake!! Paul & his band made a really good song GREAT!!!!!! Congrats congrats

Black suits and ties. All live. No autotune. What class. An element rarely seen anymore in modern music.

I am back in the summer of 75 listening to this. What a summer, full of new beginnings and new adventures with old and new friends. I was 16 and full of life, the 70s were the best.

I’m with You people who love this music! We 79 years old people still can be Moved by the Groove! Thank you for sharing the joy!

This Cat is slicker than grease..

No autotune. Just talent across the entire stage. This is music.

On way to Church. Praise Lord for people with Great talent😊

Paul is a legend and his backup band here is absolute 🔥 🔥

Everything about this is exceptional. A clear, simple version that was pitch perfect in every aspect. The gal singing backup had great tone, none of the instruments were overpowering. The drummer was excellent. Couldn't stop watching him.....he looks just like my plumber! The music we had and grew up with is still the best.

See, kids, way back when we were all riding dinosaurs and hunting mastodons for food, music had stuff like notes and lyrics that were sung and it was played by talented people called "musicians". I'm not making this up.

The drummer is exceptional

You can’t beat class musicians and talented singers that perform live without mime.

It’s 1976 and I’m in college and with high school buddies , drinking in a dive bar in downtown Boston …. This song comes on the juke box from Ace … the memory still sticks with me …

I am a 72 year old woman and I play drums. I love your voice and this song, it takes me back to when I was young! Oh, for the old days!!!!

By far one of the best singers England has produced.

“Another iconic song” that drove me wild.

73 and it’s still the best

Brings me back . When music was music and singer could sing. . brilliant ❤

Still listening in 2023. Paul Carrack is amazing. Thanks for this.

One of the greatest songs ever written, and Paul Carrack singing it, bonus!

I like how they all are dressed so classy too. He has an amazing voice.

What a treat to see real musicians playing and singing real music..and looking like real people dressed classy too..takes me back to the days when people had taste and quality…🫶🏻

One of the most underrated singers ever, the hits he's fronted, Ace, Squeeze, Mike and the Mechanics, he should be in the RRHOF..

Terrific music.....the best! And, the greatest dance music, late 60s and 70s. We have some great local bands in the Chicago area that keep this music alive.

66 Years Old and Still Jamming with Paul. If you ever get a chance watch the BBC Specials and Biography on Paul. RU-vid has them at last check.

This is what music should always be, great lyrics, amazing musicians and pure talent.

The drummer 🥁 in the beginning! 😮

This is one of the very best songs of the 70's, the best decade of music. I was born in 1971 so grew up on 80's mostly but as I've aged I've come to this realization. Nothing hits like the 70's.

I was 10 yrs old , I was shoe shine boy hanging out at the pool hall That song always came on

This is a perfect example of how it’s done son! The entire band is outstanding. This is real music.👏👏👏👍🏻🇬🇧

God please bring back music and masters of talent like this.... I'm 58 so you know I've played this song many many times.....❤🔥🎧🎼🎵🎤🎶🎶🎶

This is when music was music.

This is a great song that came out when my head was into heavy metal,Now I have aged enough I can appreciate music with depth ❤️

This song is a masterpiece! Fabulous voice and terrific musicians!

This man is doing God's work by bringing joy, happiness and love to all people.

Younsters, pay attention to an amazing drummer and bass player

Paul singing a song he made a hit 50 years ago, and still sounding great!

I'm from Brazil and have 65 years now , remember me that time long ago , 70's years when I was 17 years old . Good memories !

Everything about this is top notch and over the top. Singing by all is superb and the drumming......but geez, when those horns kicked in....I got shivers.

What a decade of absolutely stunning musicians and vocalists.

I would love to be in the middle of them just to hear the purity of people who can actually sing and play instruments.

The cat on the drums could play buckets and sound amazing! What a pleasure listening to ALL of these artists! Close your eyes and enjoy!

The kids today should listen and “pay attention” to such realistic lyrics that make so much sense is “normalized”. These guys really had it goin on backin the day.

The jacked up studio versions have their place but sometimes the true sounds are just the best. ❤️

I am so fortunate to have lived through that era of incredible music

THERE REALLY IS NO WAY TO ADEQUATELY THANK MUSICIANS LIKE PAUL AND OTHERS OF THE 70'S WHAT THEY HAVE ADDED TO OUR LIVES SO A MILLION THANKS PAUL AND ALL YOU OTHER MUSICIANS OF THE 70'S!

God bless the poor children lost their lives tonight in Gaza .god bless them the poor innocent suffer the most 🙏 ❤

"Some adults and kids" today are trying to kill the messengers of the past. Then after the messenger is silenced, they try to be more than the past, but they don't realise that they have become the new past soon to be forgotten. Why? Music is not a noise with misplaced random sounds. Have you ever heard a spanish person speak so beautifully as they roll one word in to another, or a frenchman, englishman, or asian music put to a classical dance. Well if you have then you know that they didn't kill the messenger, they became a past and present, messenger for the future. They listened, studied, and evolved to say more with the same language. Music is such a beautiful language when communicated well. THANK YOU PAUL CARRACK & ENSEMBLE...that was handsome, stunning, so beautiful!

Best version yet! Still listening in 2022! One of my favorites of all time!! They don't make music like this anymore, that's for sure!!! This song is on every list that I've created. Lindsey Dracus is amazing on background. ♡♡♡

Whoever the 23 people are who gave this video a thumbs down...I feel sorry for you. You wouldn't know good music if it came up and smacked you in the face.

I'm a "boomer" and I never can get enuff !! Great 👍🏽 for the soul and bod !!

Sorry to say, this super oldy ,will never be out of the classics selections.its just the way it's,it will happen over and over forever.

just found this video. Wow how this takes me back. A time when music was really a craft and original and magical. Real people wrote real words, sang it with soul and it had great value. This music stands the test of time !

Now "THATS MUSIC" no flaf, no flashy lights, just a classic sound from genuine talented artists

I, C would Rock With these guy's...TOO LONG..😅

Wow! After all this time, this song is still hot hot hot. Paul Carrack is just as smooth singing this in 2010 as he did then. Thank you!

Paul Carrack is one of the greatest and most underrated singers this country has produced.

I'm 78 now and How Long has always been my #1 favorite song of the 70's. You sound amazing and thanks for your incredible music.

Amazing song still in 2024

When music wa real!

Most underrated dude on the planet! FACT!

Me too my lady I agree totally. I am 63 the mother of four brilliant all musically educated grownups now. Thank you for remembering y The good ones. May god bless you

A classic front the 70's well done

I’ve just finished building my Time Machine and I’m taking off to find the past and go back to the time when music like this was what it was all about …..anyone want to join me ?

So refreshing to see real musicians performing

Drummer even chews gum on the beat. He’s a freakin machine. Paul ages like wine. Even better than in his younger years.

The “old guys” are still killin’ it! Real talent right there! 😉

The band is as tight as Paul is. This song is always never to far from where I are

I close my eyes and I'm back in 1975. I was 13 years old. The good old days WOW! I never thought I'd say that but its true. Thanks for this video.😉😊👌👍😎

I play this vid at least once every 2-3 days its like medicine for my soul so soothing and perfect combination of everything that's right

the ease of how that drummer plays, great!

So many things I miss from "our" better days. Anybody remember smooth?

As far as I'm concerned the girl with the tambourine is the star of the show. That thing cuts right through the mix and there is never a jingle out of place! And she can sing and dance!!

The whole band just styles and Paul is such a cool dude.. my kinda music!!

This is real music, not those in 2024.

I always knew that I hit the lottery by being fortunate enough to grow up during this period of music.

He's sounds like he's a better singer now than he ever was

It’s such a pleasure to listen to real artists perform

THIS IS WHAT WE CALL MUSIC……WHAT WE CALL SOUND ……REAL CLASSY ….THE EVERGREENS OF OUR TIME……LOTS OF LOVE TO YOU PAUL AND THE GROUP FROM MALAYSIA ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Fuckin hell! The mans voice is still smooth as hell!

Ace is definitely the most underrated 70’s band. Only three albums, nothing crazy, just epic and pure music!
