Looking for Linda Hue and Cry

[@michaeldownes1780]

Can't not love a video shot in Glasgow central, great song, great times, great days

[@rogerdaltry9531]

Had no idea that was the central lol is the other station where she gets off paisley gilmour station

[@stationofdreams8242]

A girl called Linda was my first crush when I was sixteen. She was an usherette at the cinema I worked in, and she was beautiful.

[@NewRootsHairUK]

This takes me back to 1989 when I was on the dole. I was 51 at the time and I had to go to a place where they taught me how to type and do short hand. The problem was, I was a qualified hairdresser!

[@titchmoynihan4722]

Thats funny. How are you mate, you still alive?

[@NewRootsHairUK]

Titch Moynihan Just. I'm 78.

[@NewRootsHairUK]

Kevin Carter Thanks, Kevin!

[@myaphextwin807]

I know it's no consolation to say you were not the only one on the dole in 1989 but did you get yourself back in to work ok?

[@NewRootsHairUK]

Warp Lover Yes, I ended up writing history books.

[@mariemccafferty9731]

love this song while going out back the 90S Now listing to 2014 and now feel old x

[@danielfrancis1302]

ya not old, ya better!

[@TitanFind]

These days he'd just find Linda on Facebook. Short song.

[@alstare01]

I love watching any youthful 80s group in their early days. they seem to have an energy and all the singers dance and smile. I guess 30yrs of singing the same tunes gets a bit boring even if classics. we just don't see bands coming through like this anymore. manufactured pop for the weekend... oh to be 19 again

[@guido342]

Great song, brilliant singer in Pat Kane, always a Hue and Cry fan. Thanks for sharing.

[@ToupeesAndWigs]

Great record.Interesting lyrics. Old style music. Love it. Thanks for posting.

[@chuckbraud7148]

This is one of the best songs ever!!! LOVE IT!

[@robdeniro6639]

This guy can REALLY sing , on a different planet to a 'pop singer'.Superb range ..I was in my late teens when they produced this tune ...very good then and still is now IMHO!

[@lynseycarlin9015]

Saw hue and cry in the eighties, they were so good, love this song

[@stephenry]

Linda lived in Paisley and worked as a secretary in the IBM plant on Dalrymple St. in Greenock during the 80s. Big news in the plant around that time when my dad worked there. Apparently she was blonde.

[@clacka68]

good old 80`s bring them back

[@theorgandude]

great chord pregression, melody, bass-line, vocals and harmonies. even the DX7 piano sounds good in this context. top tune.

[@djryanking]

Brings shivers to my spine, thanx for posting. I'm taking a nostalgic trip to my childhood !!!

[@patriciawillis3555]

Pat Crane had a superb voice. I really like Hue & Cry during their 80's reign

[@patriciawillis3555]

+independenceshop Pat Kane. lead singer hue and cry. 👆

[@Scot-Tube]

+Patricia Willis Ohhh Pat 'Kane' yeah I know him. He's my uncle!

[@RobBob555]

+Patricia Willis he still has

[@patriciawillis3555]

I agree Rob b

[@h0mer38]

[@mistofoles]

Love the great key change in the chorus :)

[@darrenwoodcock5206]

fantastic song brings all the good thoughts back

[@halogenie1]

[@shepshepherd]

Great song, great band. One of my favourites from the late 1980s :)

[@pctong5387]

Always love this song.

[@GhoulioLopez]

Terrific song. Pat Kane is an amazing vocalist. Brilliant!

[@GRAHAM5020]

This is a lovely song, reminds me of starting a new job at that time.

[@eskimodebs]

Saturday job in a hairdressers, weeks at Uni. Doc martins and old baggy jeans. Loved this band.

[@neilramjee]

Great song. Reminds me of falling in love with a girl on a train on the way to university. Still looking out for her....

[@nickcooper2735]

Great 80's song

[@bmckeeb1]

SUCH AN UNDERATED GROUP. I THNK THEY WERE FABULOUS .

[@edcampion3998]

love this classic.i miss the 80s.

[@weibowil]

wow... totally forgot about this song... In fact, the last time I heard it was when it came out in 1987 !!

[@Potionette81]

I first heard a little snatch of this song in an old episode of 'Only Fools and Horses' when it was playing in the Nag's Head. I liked what I heard and looked up the lyrics and then discovered what the song was. Its a great track and timeless too.

[@jonnyf1970]

Paisley Gilmour Street Station ! What memories. In 1982 we were driving from Oban to Bristol and my Dad crashed the car right outside that station.

[@leonjed]

Reminds me of my time in London brilliant x

[@loooolmum]

memories of my old restaurant job 2 hue & cry cassettes wer always bein played then "bros" wz played 2 clear people off home lol but i loved bros too back in them days!

[@stephenry]

0:31 that's the Gourock train. That's Port Glasgow!

[@jayo71]

love this song..

[@INNY1888]

My big pals cousins lol from Coatbridge! Oh school disco flash backs!!!

[@criochnaithe]

My favourite Hue and Cry song!

[@crucialpdenislea1963]

For me their best song , these two made intelligent catchy songs ! But due to mysterious reasons, they were totally unknown in my country.....Belgium

[@shammon1]

I was on the train when they filmed this clip. Filmed from Gourock tyo Glasgow in 1989. They took over 2 carrages and we had to fill just one.

[@Synthematix]

yep 88 and 89 were the best 2 years of music EVER!

[@rbl6761]

I am 'LINDA', and lucky enough to have a husband who loves this song and used to sing it to me when we met .... 30 yrs ago..... xXx

[@magicbus144]

Ah hell, im feeling all sentimental tonight. Great ol record right there.

[@ledivo59]

Indeed, Hue & Cry are sadly underrated, for Pat Kane is a very fine and gifted singer, which shows best on "Bitter Suite" and their later records! Met him 1991 at Harrod's/London with his little daughter. Had a short chat, nice lad! Thanx!

[@headwired]

I LIVE IN THE 2000s AND DIS IS THA BEST SONG I EVA HEARD!

[@dean2d]

Wotta voice !! superb !!!!!!!!!

[@chenlung1]

Another one to add on the list of childhood memories ;),

[@L77kim77l]

One of the best pop intros ever... (besides the whole brilliant song)

[@AliR369]

What a cracking song!

[@ScunneredMan]

Just a great song.

[@jasonrichards6533]

Ten years ago I met a girl called Linda who was a best friend of my so called best friend wife memories she was very lovely

[@polluxtroy1972uk]

I found my Linda the year this song came out.

[@deltaak1513]

best decade the 80's.....

[@whitedust696]

its been a year and im still looking for LINDA

[@mistofoles]

£35.00 for a pack of ciggies?? Linda must like Havanas!

[@stephenry]

In 1985? 50p a pint, or something?

[@rust2000]

It was a drugs deal I think!

[@markbucknall1744]

I ll never stop looking. .,....found her Yeéeeeeeessssss

[@ScottishLoyalists]

Downloading the song to get it back in the charts and coatbridge on the map!! TOWIC!!

[@rbl6761]

Makes me glad that my Mum and Dad called me .. Linda......

[@kingofchongers]

i used to go out with a girl called linda,when this song came out,she worked at the lottery desk in woolworths so i used to call her linda lottery

[@punchbowl1000]

Great tune made for my Mrs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[@AceintheePack]

Still looking 😩

[@Drinkman7]

That woman playing Linda played Carol in Coronation Street between 2005-2006

[@MrBiggoolie]

The fact that Pat disappeared up his own backside does not alter the fact he has the most amazing voice!!!

[@rbl6761]

Hi there, really hoping that you found your Linda? Just keep looking, you'll find your own Linda one day, just keep looking! Never stop looking----Linda ......

[@steeveep2006]

Re Paul Lowcock, know exectly what you mean. I started a site search for her, and others such as the girl from the Bobby Goldsboro, Summer The First Time video, and loads of others but without success. Got to be a niche search there, surely?

[@whitedust696]

oh what memories ..there was a girl who looked like linda OH PLEASE WHERE ARE YOU........you went to MOSELEY PARK COMP in bilston west mids you know who u are............ i use to sing this song to you...xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

[@isobella501]

Cracking voice

[@lindyblu99]

This song reminds me fo not so good memories when i was going through a bad time in my life,and my great mum came and found me in some dead beats house

[@Mishima505]

OMG!!! It's 1989 and I'm 15 all over again!!

[@sarahhegarty5301]

Pat has such a good voice! Back in the good old eighties, more substance over style!

[@jacksbaps]

Tooo right !

[@damian-795]

they are great :-)

[@steeveep2006]

Ps , think my reply should have been directed to Ben Richards? The layout these days is a little confusing? . . . .anyway, one of you has a genuine point, the other is a perv

[@MrDinny1234]

what a clever video,,,,never see it today

[@whitedust696]

im still looking for linda

[@pacificanorthwest1015]

Really? I thought you were looking for tax money.

[@tirnaog09]

They guys do a great unplugged version of this on their brilliant 'Bitter Suite' album.

[@ashleypp1986]

cracking song.

[@nwmrt]

Keep lookin. It will be worth it.

[@edoardozampetti4601]

i grandi fratelli KANE..

[@jamesholley]

Quality band.

[@LIsForLuana]

I was listening to this song while I was portraying the actress Linda Blair as the possessed child of "The Exorcist"!!

[@OldSkoolGrandad]

love this song.. luckily my wife is Linda...

[@watchit0202]

Jl you found your Linda xx

[@1StevenJackson]

An awesome track, should have been on Nations No 1's 2012.

[@lindakirkwood6972]

Merrick Gardens..watching trains in the distance..x

[@KOKINGWAYNE]

CLASSIC!

[@dannyokeeffe]

Never found her again since 1989!

[@terryknight3489]

Well said

[@Hickey66]

If I may explain. The girl in the video looks a bit like my ex-wife Linda. The raincoat is exactly the same as Linda used to wear and her hair is about the same length. She also carried a half bottle of spirit, in her case - vodka. She would also sometimes spend, when short of gigs, a ridiculous amount. Her temperment swiftly changed if she felt slighted. She oringinally came from Doncaster. She was Miss Doncaster once and made it as a Page 3 girl. She became a glamour model. It is her.

[@squeak2008]

I always like this song I guess because my name is Linda and people are always looking for me

[@Discoretrox]

Cracking song, Dean Holdsworth on Keyboards ;-)

[@swimlifeuk1]

Used to think this song was about me ......when i was a lot younger.......lol

[@ARMINIUS44]

I agree. Barking mad.

[@BeeshaGadaBeesh]

LOL, very funny comment, cheered me up no end.

[@victoriaforbes4418]

i love paisley.

[@StewartNicolasBILLYCONNOLLY]

I found LINDA......she had 3 boys, no relationship, no self-respect, a "husband" who couldn't see beyond his next pint! I still love her.............I just wish I could've saved her.

[@williamhalton1783]

Remeber this playing in pound world bury

[@BENTLEYQUAMP]

LOL

[@footballgeorgiebest]

' Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be Hue from Hue & Cry '.

[@referee844]

Quality.

[@chrissmith1360]

I heard this song in only fools and horses :)

[@burdlow]

It was released in 1989 mate.

[@kevinthomas8073]

What is Lindas real name, and who is she?
