Australian band 'The Models' present their last charting single on the ABC TV music show 'Countdown', with James Freud on lead vocals. First broadcast on 12th April 1987
My dad said that about 80s music when we were in the 80s. And I'm sure your kids will be saying it about the 2020s. It's the way the world goes. Enjoy the past, embrace the present. There's so much good new music. It's everywhere.
wow, you dont know the models. try their early stuff maybe. then again if you like this tripe with Freud singing, you'll hate the early angst driven genius of Sean Kelly !
BEST Models song? Seriously? It’s easy listening commercial pap (or crap if you prefer). Do yourself a favour and go listen to their first 2 LPs and especially the Cut Lunch EP if it’s still available.
Today would of been Jame's 59th Birthday. Happy Birthday James hope your have a cold one with Hutch . Thoughts with James's sister, mother and two boys.
Damn really? I only watched this today because I remember him playing at Western Springs NZ about 30 years ago... and I thought he was good, and was talking to someone about it... and went looking on YT etc. He had utterly fucking stellar charisma. The one time I saw him. He was supporting David Bowie - who (to be fair) was also quite good.
Never get tired of this track one of the best songs to ever come out in Australia brilliant I'll go so far as to say it's an Aussie classic agree or disagree rates next to any song to come from australia ❤😂😂😂😂 rest in peace James always reckoned he should have been lead vocalist not to take any thing away from kelly his first name escapes me Sydney aus 21)7)2023
The big sounding keyboard & bass at the beginning sends shivers down your spine. It is a work of art. However, the line up miming here is hardly the Models as such. NO SEAN KELLY for starters, No Wendy Matthews, No James Valentine - just some dude disguising his identity with a cap and sunglasses pretending to be Sean .
yes its Def Andrew Duffield on keys. he left in early 80's for a littlw wihle, then came back, then left again late 80's i think. but no Sean. and its a shit song. all songs by James Freud were imposter Model songs. tragic. EARLY MODELS WAS UNBEATABLE !
@KJezza - yes mason did replace duffield. but at one stage Duffield left mid 80's for 2 yrs and came back and then left again towards the end. and i think mason replaced him both times !
Aahh yes my freindys one of their last releases before they initially split...the friction had started to sink in and this is why the line up was a bit different 🤔🤔 thankfully james n Sean eventually resolved their differences n made up😍😍😍
Live version at "Australian Made - 1987" really tore the roof off (which is what they're miming to on this CountDown clip) How totally gorgeous are the backing vocalists? Stunning and totally Professsional performance. Check it live... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yeZdfuoKTgE.html Without doubt ... an trully memorable performance of a great song, hey?
