Yep Bob Mortimer!!!

[@geekpie100]

A lot of these songs, because British music was so strong in the early and mid 80s, you didn't realise how good they were at the time. Now, in this era of mediocrity, they sound fantastic. I like these songs at least as much as the best Dire Straits songs, which they sound a bit like.

[@davecoalwood9487]

❤❤❤ I wish Chris knew just how irreplaceable He is and how much He is loved- not just over here but right across Europe. Leg- End ❤

[@jennyryan897]

I am listening on the 4th March 2021.Happy 70th birthday Chris Rea.You and i are both 1951 models.

[@ronpledger7668]

Dave Lee Travis said he had a voice like chocolate. You can hear that here, an underated genius

[@garyrichards4584]

[@ashleetimms303]

Three years ago filled with hope and promise I listened to this song a lot. I been put through a really rough and tough three years, just had a bubble burst, again. This song comes steamrolling back into my life and the hope and promise God has given me has been renewed. I live in hope😊

Chris has the most relaxing vioce and his music is so original.

[@geoffreyjonathanwilson9932]

The brilliant Chris Rea! He's a proud smoggie from Middlesbrough and a music legend for sure 😊

Aye, mate

[@SGW4K]

Life is what you make it. Stop living in the past ffs

[@Nicholas_Chris]

@@SGW4K Yes, life is what you make it. If you have a great life good for you. But we live in times where life is hard for most people, economic instability, riots in some parts, unemployment, must work two jobs to pay the rent, bills, food and have some savings, work hard for a crap wage. And the NGOs and politicians (both left and right) ruined our society, I see people arguing which one is better, in reality both left and right don't give a damn about people so move on. I hope soon it will be over and we get back to normality. Sometimes past seems heaven on earth, other times past is hell on earth.

[@TheBanjomandolin]

Great guy. I was in a lift with him and his manager and his manager farted as they were getting out so Chris held the door open for me while laughing so the fart could escape

[@jasonlee7816]

[@ruzz001]

Darren James from 3AW 693 Melbourne Australia plays this tune on his radio intro. Such a banger!

[@thesausage351]

I swear, 80% of my childhood memories are about cars, and music. I was about 8 and went to my first big car show in Sydney and as we walked in, this song was playing. I remember I got a photo with The Munsters Koach. I never tire of hearing this song. Chris Rea was massive back in the 80’s and I loved all his songs.

[@MKA63]

from the "Tennis" album if I remember correctly

[@hogey74]

Ha me too! I taped this off the radio in Townsville !

[@TheNinetySecond]

Chris Rea just has one of those voices you only get from cracking an egg in your bath.

came here for this

Holy crap i remember this one when it came out, too. Banger of a song.

I can remember seeing this video and Chris rea for the first time! I was in love 🥰 he was gorgeous young with blond hair. Saw him in concert a few years ago he can still sing well but he hasn’t aged well I know he has health problems. When I think of Chris it’s him in above video! Hunky & Sexy ❤️

[@fritula6200]

That girl in the v ideo is annoying and distracting. Kills the song.

[@markneville7539]

You've got feel good listening to this song. The video is pretty simple but Chris is right.... Let's Dance!

Such a uplifting song, my mood is pretty low and this helps.

[@robertanthonyfairweather3416]

There's also a cover of this song by Olly Murs: Dance With Me Tonight (2011). It samples Let's Dance as background music.

[@awm8221]

The original hit version here , released as a single in 1987, off the album "Dancing with Strangers" Chris re-recorded this song a year later and sped it up and removed the wonderful horns - opting for synthesized horns instead. The sped up version is OK but nothing beats the wonderful original right here.

[@jon6346]

Thanks. I was wondering why I sometimes think this song is a classic and sometimes only good.

[@michealkelliher8428]

[@stevedoubleu99B]

I love this version, for me, the faster version seems a bit well........fast.

[@austinpundit6321]

Yeah, I like this version better too.

[@JJMMWGDuPree]

The other version also has synthesized brass. Don't like it.

[@awm8221]

Totally agree. The sped up version is the one they keep putting on his greatest hits compilations. The sped up version was done at the same time he re-recorded several other hits. God knows why, there was nothing wrong with the originals

[@JJMMWGDuPree]

@@awm8221 I think I can, at least, answer that. He was asked the same question in an interview and said that his record label were about to release a greatest hits and in order to head them off he decided to rerecord all his greatest hits with his current group, playing them the way they played them now, which does, of course, lead to another obvious question which the interviewer apparently didn't think of. Why not just record a live show then? At least there would be a point to that.

[@fwnfaa]

i like better the faster version

[@Igloo3471]

This song reminds me of my grandfather and his partner that used to go dancing all the time back in the late 80s and early 90s in our rather dreary city. This song used to often play on their tinny car radio on the AM station they had it tuned on to. He died at 88 she died at 70 some years ago now.

[@jasonlee7816]

Do you remember day, month, year? did he die at 88 first then did she died at 70?

[@Igloo3471]

@@jasonlee7816 Nah It'd be in the late 80s sometime. She died first aged 70, he died about five years later at 88. Good people, much missed.

[@jasonlee7816]

she died late 1980's either in 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989 then he died in the early 1990's either in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994
