Mate, was the Saturday viewing a replay of the previous Sunday? No matter, I remember my sister and I always negotiating with our parents about watching the top ten which clashed with the 6 o’clock news (at least in Brisbane it did). Memories. This song is a great example of those 70s songs with pounding chorus’s, rock guitar and keyboards plus some horns. Isn’t it time and every time I think of you by the baby’s doing to mind. Miss Molly meldrum too. He’s still around but gees he was influential.

Gosh it was GREAT being a young kid in the 70’s. Young, free, zero worries and running a muck on our bikes with the other neighbourhood kids. Summer was the best time of the year. No school, going to the local swimming pool all day long and getting home in the evenings. We took those days for granted and were in such a hurry to grow up. Those were the best times.

Racism was rife. You couldn’t be a black fella out at night with out getting pestered by the police. Poofta bashing was a sport. For the first few years the Vietnam war raged. My uncle got called up for national service… so did thousands of Australians. The price of oil went through the roof after the 73 Arab Israeli war, causing a severe contraction of the global economy. My parents were just holding on to our house by their finger tips for most of the decade. My mother got paid less than her male co workers for doing the same job….

Bloody hell. Both singers have incredible voices.I used to hear it all the time on the radio back in 1979, and it was just background music, until now. Dubious dress sense, but as they say, "Don't judge a book," etc. Now that I'm a certain age, I need to re-evaluate the songs from that era.

Sadly I haven't heard it on the radio since that time, other songs that charted lower during that time, gets radio play but not this one.

Unfortunately this was a one hit wonder, but at that time I really liked this song very much, including the beautiful lady as well and of course I still like it very much nowadays. Great memories of my youth when I was 13 years young, back at that time. I won't forget this song and it's amazing performance; never!

It brought tears to my eyes reading your post, I shit you not. Finally, someone who could sum up the good old fashioned values that allowed blokes like you and me to go along to bands like Redgum and AC/DC at local venues with 400 people packed into a room build for half that number. And there would be 4 or 5 people playing actual instruments hooked up to actual working amps and they'd thrash out their latest tunes. Real bands with real performers. They just don't write 'em like that anymore, if you'll forgive me using someone else's line (Greg Kihn).

I have never heard this song before tonight. THANK YOU, electriclaz for uploading it. I am MOVED! I think it showed up in my feed because I was watching car crash videos and the first video was a girl driving while Naked Eyes "Always Something There to Remind Me" was playing on her radio so I had to look it up and immediately listen to it. That kind of music was my music. Tony Carey, Pop Punk stuff, and the more unusual stuff that floated through college towns before the advent of file sharing and youtube. I immediately have to figure out how to download this and keep it forever. I cannot believe I have never heard it before. Obviously there's a visual titillation with the video (pun intended) but man, those vocals!

I remember this song from 1978. Nice and strong, powerful. It got a lot of airplay in these parts, i.e., Australia. The female lead singer's ample bosom and highly shapely physical person were greatly popularising features of the video at the time. Oh, to be 19/20 again in 1978! The mid-1970s to early 80s were the best years of my life! Before I became disillusioned with the world and consequently bitter and twisted.
