Marmalade - Rainbow - introduced by Lulu & Mamma Cass Elliot - 1970.wmv

There are a few versions of this already posted - but nice to see the intro with Lulu & Mama Cass - also the apparent "camaraderie" at the end between "wee Marie Lawrie" and her fellow Glaswegians!
"Bad hair day" for Pat & Junior ( they look like Hinge & Brackett!) -- mind you, wee Marie's doesn't look too clever either -- but hey, it's the 1970's! (only just).
Slightly sad though to see this, as Cass left us just a few years later, when she died in London ... shame .............
Enjoy while you can - I expect the copyright police will pounce soon and take all this stuff off!
regards Nimmie

Marmalade, probably one of the greatest and most underrated bands of the era. What a beautiful voice.

My favorite of Marmalade’s singles. Writing this a couple days after Dean Ford passed away at age 72. Dean co-wrote this with fellow band member Junior Campbell.

[@mattbutler3852]

It is very hard to accept that one of the heroes of your youth is no longer with us. R.I.P.. Dean and thanks for the lovely music you left with us.

[@rainstein3680]

Yes, I adore Marmalade......they had a totally distinctive sound, thanks largely to Dean Ford's angelic lead vocals......RIP DEAN

[@thomasduffmcgready-zb3yt]

For a group that was underrated they came on over the years singing many great brilliant fantastic real true talent songs. Im a 1960s Child and from when i started to take in and love the many songs of Marmalade. Im one of there many idolised loved fans world wide that is. This is a group who didnt waste no time performing. There idolised and loved world wide over from many vast amounts of screaming fans of many ages and nations. The performed to every full house show with not an empty seat in the autatourium theatre. There songs sold into millions all over the world. Crouds of screaming fans waited in lines of long queues to see this fabulous brilliant great fantastic group. They performed well or not at all. And from when they first started all those many yeas back. There songs are still played and idolised loved world wide over. Its now the year 2023. And there is those who thought Marmalade wouldn't accomplish achieve there main goal ambition to success. That shows and proves there poor lack knowledge understanding of what real true talent singers is and about. This song was out when i was just a very bright young Boy Child with Childhood at age 8. Another classic song that was underrated.

[@kirrinisland]

What a lot of talent in that group. My good friend and musical collaborator persists in believing that Marmalade were no good. He should watch this and it will surely change his mind. Dean Ford had one of the best voices of the late sixties/early seventies pop groups, and Rainbow was such a wonderful single (with a wonderful 'B'side too, the "Ballad of Cherry Flavor").

[@aabacchi]

I agree with you but it was not only Dean Ford. Campbell was a very special musician.

The golliwog on the drum relates to Robertson's Marmalade that had golliwogs on their jars that could be exchanged for a metal golliwog badge. I had several. What a great band. They did the best harmonies since the Isley Brothers. I've been trying to buy their LPs online but with no success so far.
