MODERN ROMANCE Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White

summer 82

[@angelalangford7986]

Loved Modern Romance,the 80s was a great decade.

[@gdsuperstar5657]

this tune came into my head today for no reason , never liked it or wanted to hear . now can't lose it . strange ❤

[@Vennegoor10]

When you consider the charts of the early 80s it was the variety of music that made them. There should be room in the charts and on tv for music like this.

[@angelamartin5003]

Loved modern romance version.

[@san4tam]

Great to hear the trumpeter hold the note on Chery Pink, as in the original. Beautiful tune.

[@TheQ-Continuum]

John du Prez with Eddie Calvert's original golden trumpet ! Not heard this since it was last In the charts, songs like this never get played on the Golden Oldie radio stations !

[@jasonlatham4068]

Magnificent rendition no wonder it's on the golden trumpet itself

[@jeffallinson8089]

This fabulous cover brings back so many memories of Scarborough back in the early 80's. Fantastic music like this and much simpler times; Ahhh.

[@sgmccall]

it is so true music has reached that point now where everyting has been done. Once upon a time you could name everyone in the top 20 because Radio One played them all but not now. We havent even got top of the pops to watch now. Is it any wonder all the old bands are reforming and having sell out tours.

[@fluorosco]

Reminds me of the Blue Oyster Bar.... ah, those were the days..

[@Dom-zr9zu]

👮‍♀️🤣

[@julieluckin6284]

I totally loved that version x

[@julieluckin6284]

was I that really that young once! I knew some one who was in the band through a friend

[@kingwithoutacrown1]

The halcyon days of our youth, i would give up the rest of my life for one day in 1982...

[@noelkerr2]

Bring back that kind of music , thank God for Sounds Easy music like that brings back happy memories

[@gazzab1966]

Spotted the band in august 1982 at an hotel in Portugal.

[@TheQ-Continuum]

Very camp and a bit OTT. John Du Prez on the "Eddie Calvert" gold trumpet- badly mimed throughout, still a song that brings back so many memories. You never hear this on any of those Golden Oldie radio stations !

[@realcooking1833]

1.23 who else applauded and laughed at the cha cha chaa

[@rhodiusscrolls3080]

The Man With The Golden Trumpet.

[@ottoschnauz]

Great video, I think it was the last song that featured Geoff Deane as the lead singer in MR, but I think I saw Michael J Mullins in the background too - nice!

[@Ezdduf4kuZ]

hi from Vancouver Cda, I like this version much better than the original from the mid fifties...the audio alone helps make this a better version. thx4 postin'

[@MsJaycjay]

gotta love the bass player-hes sooooooo handsome!

[@maureensamson4863]

Thanks for sharing

[@FLshadyrock]

gotta love the bass!!

[@garystyles4151]

Brilliant

[@cswtds]

very classis song, it was also popular in places like hong kong and malaysia, too

[@matelot95]

the trumpeter John Du Prez, is a respected filmscore composer.

[@MrAndw]

I like this song, lol..

[@blackbandit31]

Classic!

[@paulcoleman478]

Loved all this nonsense back in the day 😅

[@mnlightshimmer9148]

In the words of my mate, "they should have camped it up a bit"

[@annie482000]

Thanks for posting this one, luvsummer82. Been looking for this one for a while. Annie :)

[@nithiwatchan-ame3162]

So delightful

[@marcelagaldames56]

Excellent

[@ColumRogers]

Claaaaaaaassic!! Love Modern Romance :)

[@HH-qu3xc]

Good playing

[@italianstallion9170]

82 our boys beat the Argies when they invaded, World Cup was great, and summer of nice songs i was only 5 and a half but great days.

[@johnhughes8466]

Cracking band were modern romance!

[@jimmysig8183]

ΥΠΕΡΟΧΟ ΤΡΑΓΟΥΔΙ.ΤΕΛΕΙΟ!!!

[@vickywitton1008]

I do not get the string vest but the singer still looks hot!

[@melunia100]

wiśniowy sad.klasyka!

[@stevepettit2064]

They were always seen as naff in the early 80s and they were but if you were there back then they were infectious their hits fond of this runs through my family from original and i love john Du prez he did a version of oh mein papa that was good it was not a hit though i wish someone would post it sad it is not on you tube.

[@Northerner1966]

Indeed, but Walking In The Rain by MR did give them some credibility later on

[@realcooking1833]

Some might say my taste in music is eclectic

[@Ezdduf4kuZ]

What a great version to a song that meant nothing to me, when Elvis and r&r was on the turntable. But what this band has done to it is incredible..the added vocals alone make this song all the better to listen to. I like the music, it's been re-vitalized and of coarse the video, easy on the eyes. The Band looks grat in those white outfits and black scarves. thx4 postin' &lol from Vancouver Cda.

[@Erwin0929]

WOW... AMAZING...

[@Arshan77634]

This particular song was part of a assorted music album which also contained O island in the sun (Harry belafonte) Cover? Can anybody please give any info of the album 90/2000's Thanx in advance

[@mjclark641]

I forgot Andy Parsons played the trumpet on this.

[@preopdollop]

Just LOOK at that big girls blouse in the hat !!

[@AyebeeMk2]

trying to find a big girl in a blouse....

[@killjoypoprocks]

MY &%75YEAR OLD GRANGMAS FAV

[@Ezdduf4kuZ]

@cswtds This song came out about the time r&r was on the turntable. I never cared for the inst that much, easy to listen to. I'll tell you that what this band did to this song certainly helped re-vitalize it. I really like the vocals added and the band looks kind of sensual, decked out in white. The black scarves and those hats gice the Band their name. Better sound, added vocals...i'll be tuning this one in again. Thx4 postin' & lol from Vancouver Cda.

[@dippingbird]

A surprise XD Keen Cherry Pinkers may like my er... 'modern' Harmonica and Guitar version (played simultaneoso...)

[@barrycaldwell5461]

Like the track but you can see he's not playing the trumpet

[@Marianntus]

A pretty decently played cha cha--although the lyrics here are quite different from the Pat Boone vocal version from about 1960.

[@andypandy4078]

The original authentic Latin tunes and the ones that were big hits (no1's) in England were by Perez Prado and Eddie Calvert back in the mid 50s..

[@MYBIGKINDHEART]

yes R&B SHITE INDEED HAVING SAID THAT I DO LIKE THE VERY OLD R&B ON HOW IT USE TO BE DONE BUT THEN NO ONE CAN'T DO IT PROPERLY ANYMORE

[@cheesyal]

@QofLife69 Surprisingly enough, in the early 80s it was not uncommon for perfectly straight young British men to ponce about looking like Popeye's shirtlifting younger brother. Well, if you lived in the South at least.

[@leenieledejo6849]

Maybe in a few areas of London but nowhere else in the UK. If this singer is straight, it was a pretty exceptional look. Paul Rutherford from Frankie Goes to Hollywood wore a black version a couple of years later and he is gay

[@simonking5010]

Not the best version for sure.

[@conorgillespie8678]

In my opinion after 1992 music was awful 60s70s80s was just magic they must have broken the moulds that produced great songwriters of the 60s 70s and 80s
