Gang Of Four - Is It Love (Official Video)

[@zekaryah1612]

I am 70 years old in 2o23 & I love GangOfFour !!!!

[@teenac718]

congrats! What a wonderful time to be young and alive!! I miss it.

[@hedonisticmisanthrope]

This will always be my favorite Gang of Four record of all time. Sara Lee’s bass playing on this record is incredible.

[@bent2]

She didn't play on this one though. It was session bassist. He played on three other tracks on the album too.

[@hedonisticmisanthrope]

@@bent2 she is credited as bassist on this record and on the cover of the record.

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

it's totally appropriate they got Chic's Alfa Anderson for this song because you can tell the whole song is a tribute to Chic music.

[@leevuong8843]

Please explain your tribute to Chic... There's not a single element that refers to Chic in that track.

[@gedrooney9305]

Great bit of German Expressionism

[@elmerfudd516]

That young Bill O'reilly has some rithym despite the constipated look on his face😊

[@danielmarquis5258]

Rest in peace to Andy Gill. I discovered Gang of Four late, but better late than never. They have a phenomenal sound! “Is it love” is my favorite song by Gang of Four and EASILY makes my 80’s top 5 (especially for New Wave).

[@Frenchiic]

Featuring Alfa Anderson of legendary band CHIC on female vocals.

[@felixhernandez5664]

This track is 🔥.

[@Stonecutter334]

All good things must come to an end. This one was wildly premature.

[@1967sfoman]

This song always felt very Human League to me. Loved it.

[@malcolmrobertlowrey1]

Jon's vocals sound very Phil Oakey'ish....

[@mathewfoster2058]

My friend a 16 yr old punk rock girl turned me onto this song when it first came out. I was 19 at the time. She was so cool and loved to dance. What a funky jam. That's funk with a twist. But still funk. The guitars are amazing.

[@ajs41]

Other songs on the album are just as funky, especially Arabic, I Fled and It Don't Matter.

[@the1stDJLowkey]

I LOVE this song. Surprised at how few have been here. Is it possible that so few are familiar with this choon?

[@Pleasure_Victim]

It might be that the GO4 purists turned on them, upon the release of this album and the new sound. I still think Hard is fantastic from start to finish! 🖤

[@johnstjohn6658]

Nah, someone else had uploaded it before GoF. Their upload had LOTS of views

[@marcdj3973]

its a top song

[@gogoyubari366]

Choon?

[@MrPjalex]

totally under rated ..

[@maurobochicchio4352]

R.I.P. Andy Gill.

[@jujubees5855]

😭

[@louiemoon1337]

Amazing singer towards the ending how is she hitting those notes!? It's like an Angel coming down to kick some A**

[@ajs41]

It would have been one of these singers: Alfa Anderson, Brenda White King. I'm not sure which one.

[@TopwaterTony]

I smell something FUNKY 😊

[@JohnAdams-gc2ug]

Classic❤

[@gogoyubari366]

One of my favorite GOF albums!

[@ElisaSilva-s3y]

Anos80 que saudades.

[@KarinaModie]

Rest In Peace Andy Gill.

[@soulproduct6209]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Gang of Four had the FUNK! #RIP Andy Gill

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

Yes. Hillel Slovak said that Andy Gill was his favourite guitarist in the world. You can hear how the early rhcp took inspiration from go4

[@gingermoon88]

Soo Good !!..I feel so fortunate to have danced to this so many times in San Diego alternative clubs in the 80's..now dancing to it on my Lanai by the Sea in Hawaii in 2020. xoxo to you All.

[@virtualmatter]

Were you at Club Zu too?

[@Tuatara587]

To me one of the best bands to come out of the post punk era. I’m pretty sure the video is heavily edited to minimize Jon Kings dance moves though.

[@flatrockufo]

RIP Mr.Andy Gill (64)

[@Valcali2024]

Put me in a time machine and send me back to the 80's please thank you!

[@danielmarquis5258]

Absolutely Yes!! The Music Industry back then was a goldmine.

[@teenac718]

Yes!!!

[@drunvert]

Forgot about the MTV years. I was a fan earlier. Still cool

[@joseschmoe2800]

I remember first seeing this video in Chicago's pioneer video bar, Berlin, on Belmont N side of Chicago. Circa '84? Berlin then was a tiny slit of a bar but had the best videos. For those of us who didn't have cable (meaning no MTV). Thanks Andy for the music you gave us.

[@ggeemmiinnii]

I realize your comment is several years old...did you know that Berlin JUST closed its doors--permanently--about a week ago? The reason they closed is pretty gross, too: apparently they don't like paying their employees anything near a living wage. (Someone should tell them to schlep it 90 mins north and reopen in Milwaukee, lol, they'd be just fine. Minimum wage is still $7.25/hr in Wisconsin.)

[@dmerls8571]

Love it. This may be the only Gang of Four track that works in a dance club type mix.

[@ajs41]

Maybe also I Fled.

[@patrickgassert9853]

Perfekt feeling ❤

[@arlichar11]

F yeah... so funky it hurts

[@vorticedaweb]

HD VERSION PLEASE!

[@JosephDowski]

Had such a crush on the black girl in this video back in the 80's. (sigh)

[@ajs41]

I think it may be Gillian de Terville.

[@johnstjohn6658]

@ 3:18 Already a great song but similar to the soulful part of Heaven 17's "Temptation" she kills it.

[@ajs41]

@@johnstjohn6658 Gillian de Terville of course also appeared in the Temptation video, although the real singer was Carol Kenyon.

[@alexandrea2603]

i veri gang of four sono un'altra cosa

[@eduardorivera4343]

Great sound..Great dance track.

[@dogtown1718]

My all time favorite song

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

Had this on 12”. Thought it was quite an interesting sound. I was 17

[@jamesw9559]

Banger

[@larrycortinas254]

Gang of Four go pop

[@muiderpoort]

''I forgot what I was trying to remember''

[@celiaayneto9232]

Ça fût un vrai détour mais toujours impecables

[@RyDawg084]

Great Song Great Video. ~~

[@applemask]

If White Rabbit can lead to Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now, I can accept Anthrax coming to this.

[@josesegovia2590]

Is really amazing... Music

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

Sounds more like Heaven 17

[@johnstjohn6658]

Who sang the "It's alright, It's alright, It's aaaaaaallright" part on this. It DOES kind-of remind me of the backup singer in H17's "Temptation".

[@daeuri]

​@@johnstjohn6658 I was thinking the same thing.

[@omcf]

@@johnstjohn6658 Some say she is Alfa Anderson (Chic) and not Carol Kenyon (Heaven 17, Paul Hardcastle)

[@shanedangers]

never ending cool 😎.. and then there was Shriekback who shared 1 or 2 members. kitschy early 80s funkternative gold!

[@MrPjalex]

Kitschy??? Nah ...pure class

[@johnstjohn6658]

RIP Andy Gill. But C'mon GoF - Pipitch had the best upload and bio of this song. BTW - Who is the female vocalist on this? "It's alright, it's alright, it's aaaaaaallll right.."!

[@louiemoon1337]

Right!!?? I get visions of a battle in Heaven when she hits those notes, so AWESOME, so beautiful!

[@louiemoon1337]

Towards the ending Gang of Four are looking at her like, ' Dammmm, she's got an amazing voice'. I'd say very angelic.🙌

[@omcf]

Alfa Anderson (Chic)

[@johnstjohn6658]

​@@omcf- Yeah,.. i googled it until i found her and then hit her up on Facebook. When I excitedly asked whether it was her she nonchalantly replied, "Oh.... Yes it is.".

[@marsch8276]

Unbelieveably fast they've sunk down to the money-music back those days. I will always love their first two albums

[@sillyasitsounds]

✨🙏✨

[@totaltime7804]

👍🥰🌟

[@AndrewWells]

Wow, its been awhile since I've seen this... pretty hilarious to see the GOF trying to be the Human League or Heaven 17... but that's where we were in this period... this record made sense at the time in contrast to what had come before... now it makes NO sense at all! That's the beauty of pop...

[@lilianaramos2119]

Buen tema pero el vocalista se fue a otro plAnetA. A cantar.

[@rederickfroders1978]

Capitalism🤮

[@scott12xu]

Awful song and video. R.I.P. Andy Gill but you really lost the plot on this album.

[@mauroneghe2452]

great group!!! ugly album!!!!!!

[@ajs41]

They were experimenting with New Wave music in 1983.
