Absolutely class love it 👍🙏👍

[@MAXKADIE]

Absolutely fantastic love this song x

[@morris3245]

One of best from this period. Good to see them turning back the time. Time shows that the creative spirit has not been snuffed out.

Tony Burrows, the man of many hits!!! Master lip sync man as well.....

[@jandaems3347]

Tears coming nice memories

[@Ralf_Lehnert]

The lead vocals on the record are not sung by Tony Burrows, who mimes in this video, but by the composer and producer John Carter himself.

[@lorrainejon4510]

Correct. John Carter already clarified its him singing on it. Tony Burrows didn't sing on the original recording.

[@Mudge07]

Thanks for that gem of information, so often the production and credits are trimmed to meet a commercial need and fail to give those who were involved even the minimum of recognition. John Carter’s voice sounding clear as a bell on the lead lines certainly made it cut through the airwaves.

Amazing just like going back in time.

[@karencrookshank4971]

Tony Burrows still rocking it! ❤️

[@boojaboo7507]

It's playback.

[@bioshock6935]

lol shame we cant actually hear them singing instead of having them being overdubbed

[@lorrainejon4510]

@@bioshock6935 John Carter already clarified its him who sang the studio version. Tony Burrows didn't sing on the original recording. The TV performances were mimed to John Carter's studio vocals.

[@nevillehill5210]

Wow , that takes me back

[@michaelhiggs8657]

Rob's got a fancy new bass!

[@northnsouth6813]

The song was written and produced by John Carter and Ken Lewis, engineered by John Mackswith and released in 1967, John Carter also sang the lead vocal in the recording not any of the group in this vidio who were only miming to the recording.

[@Dangigs2468]

With the exception of member Pete Nelson, who had passed on in 2005, this performance included the then three surviving members of the band: Tony Burrows, Neil Landon, and Robin Shaw. In this clip: Burrows is wearing the red shirt. Landon is stood on Burrows' left with the blue shirt. Shaw is on far right playing bass. Landon died in 2020.

[@keeswagenaar1038]

I love it flower power

[@felixheiss]

Looks like Robin Box , Tony Burrows , Neil Landon and Robin Shaw . Robin Box replaces Pete Nelson who passed away in 2005 . Great song from John Carter and Ken Lewis and John was apparently lead vocal on the record .

[@mkruup]

Masterpiece!

[@kevinmurphy8857]

I love this video from 2008. I remember this song from 1967 especially i was only 5 years old. It's first time i have seen latest video on my computer. They look great. Are they still alive?

[@davidmiller4078]

Very Bach like harmonies classical music for people who pop fans

Its was ,the Times where all peoples was fortunalaty.

[@ingriddenijs8680]

Zingen ze hier nog zelf of is het geplaybackt? Want het klinkt precies als in de jaren 60😮

[@Nuranalra]

they are miming to the recording which was actually sung by the songwriter and producer John Carter

[@TalesOfTheRiverBank]

Like many records of that time, great vocal harmonies. But made all the greater by the fact that more than half a century later those vocals and harmonies are still there undiminished by old father time.

[@strawman80]

You do know they are miming to the original record don't you ??

[@korNouran]

@@strawman80 LOL, it's brutally obvious it's just mime to the recording. And it's John Carter's voice

[@jimmykarlsson2567]

Why didnt they sing it live 🤔

[@Warumfragstdu]

I know this show. I've watched it many times with my parents as a child. I can tell you not one single time did someone perform live there. It was just playbacks

[@Lionboy2930]

Because in 50 years i assume their voices aren't the same!!!

[@gavinthorburn5385]

Check out thier track heavy times blows this away

[@sparky4152003]

Recording ... and Mime .

[@pascalecourtial5103]

Super wonderful 💞😉🕊🦋

[@kevinmurphy8857]

Are they really singing this great song. Hope they are. Can anyone confirm

[@korNouran]

They are just miming to the recording. And it's the songwriter and producer John Carter singing on the actual record. A group with Tony Burrows as lead vocalist was put together later for TV appearance.

[@timfurnier7061]

Why would you have them on at that age only to have them lipsync that song. It's obvious they're not singing it. Embarrassing!

[@lorrainejon4510]

Lipsyncing to John Carter's vocals. John Carter was the actual singer on the record. He recruited a group including Tony Burrows to tour.

[@timfurnier7061]

@@lorrainejon4510 That makes it even worse. LOL

[@ingriddenijs8680]

Dat dacht ik ook al,kan ook haast niet op die leeftijd,en dan hetzelfde zingen met die hoge tonen

[@malgrice1541]

Fake!

[@juanjosue5943]

very very astonish ! years 60 it's better!

[@railmaster.7752]

Dubbed, it ruins it to like a 101%

[@premsign]

Why couldn't they sing it? Ripped off.

[@Khabanelamefanpage]

You think they will sound the same when they were in their 20s?? These are old men ! Think ! Think ! Think!
