Born in the 60's so I have to say that growing from then till now is a better experience. Groups like Earth Wind & Fire and Ace ( Paul Carrack) these cats really put their hearts in their music. How Long is a song you'll never forget. I have these songs, I love these songs and they will always be remembered. Forever Ace (Paul Carrack)

[@lamh5265]

Autotune is in their head and if it comes out not as planned, it still works because these musicians are so versed in chord voicing. They "were not" or "they weren't," "they didn't"; a good musician can use notes the same way.

Paul Carrack possesses a voice that transcends the boundaries of time, a captivating instrument that has remained a well-kept secret among those fortunate enough to discover his musical prowess. In the annals of musical history, his contributions stand as a testament to both his immense talent and his undeniable impact on the industry. Despite his unparalleled artistry, Carrack has often resided in the shadows, overlooked by a world that seems to have underestimated his brilliance. It is a disheartening reality that so many fail to recognize the sheer magnitude of his musical gifts.

From his early contributions to the bands such as Ace, Squeeze, and Mike + The Mechanics, to his remarkable solo career, Carrack's voice has remained an enchanting force that continues to captivate audiences worldwide. One cannot help but wonder why the world has failed to acknowledge the greatness of Paul Carrack on a broader scale.

Nevertheless, it is abundantly clear to those who have truly listened that Carrack is an unparalleled talent deserving of far greater recognition. So, who else shares this sentiment? Who else has experienced the ethereal beauty of Carrack's voice and found solace in the transcendent melodies he weaves?

Yeah...pretty amazing for a song with only one verse. Its repeated 2× but its still the same verse!

Mr. Bandy Shanks™ WELL SAID!!!

[@scottkirkham1230]

Oh no. Bad Dad joke.... LOL. Fantastic music tho.

His music is filled with soul. You can feel it in your heart and makes you move and makes you feel good.

[@Oldguynotbald]

This guy is a legend, so many great songs he has given us!!

[@vincemanueleshow]

Ace is definitely the most underrated 70’s band. Only three albums, nothing crazy, just epic and pure music!

[@donniewilliams9860]

one of the most underrated vocalists ever....

[@m42tyn]

not in my house ;-) pure genius. loved him from the 1970's Ace and all that!

[@RhiannaBarr]

Mr nope. This song was released in1974. But it's opening chords are similar to the 10cc 1975 track "I'm not in love"

[@flossisleofwight4263]

ace his first band

[@jimmyjam4371]

Totally agree and he is so unassuming as well. The only downside is he supports Sheffield Wednesday!

Wow! After all this time, this song is still hot hot hot. Paul Carrack is just as smooth singing this in 2010 as he did then. Thank you!

I'm 78 now and How Long has always been my #1 favorite song of the 70's. You sound amazing and thanks for your incredible music.

[@SamB-fv6su]

This fellow is such a freaking talent ! Very tight band / drummer is stellar !

[@akimmbo]

Oh man. that song. that voice, it's like the years vanish when you hear Paul Carrack still singing. ;) 🥰 some real music in the fabulous 70s. Loved the group ACE

[@fantasyguru26]

This is one of the very best songs of the 70's, the best decade of music. I was born in 1971 so grew up on 80's mostly but as I've aged I've come to this realization. Nothing hits like the 70's.

[@a1harrogate]

So refreshing to see real musicians performing

[@johnc.8298]

Nothing breath taking but so solid and musical. There was definitely a synergy with them all playing their parts so cleanly and not trying to compete with each other. So much "space" in this song and arrangement. You could hear every instrument so clearly.

[@bernlin2000]

This song is so timeless, still sounds great, especially in Paul's hands!

[@pamelapickett4004]

Oh dear why do we have to put up with such rubbish in 2021/2 when we have this wonderful track to make today;s music sound really crap. Are the so called stars of today bloody deaf? Do they not listen to this kind of real music? I reckon I am getting bloody old yes 78 but my musical listening is just the same, I wish time travel was a reality I know where I would go.

[@miltvolosyn3446]

I love the backstory on this song itself. Listening to it you'd think it about a love affair that falling apart, when in actuality it was written about their Bass Player leaving the group, or at least thinking about it. Hence why the bass is so strong in the beginning of the song. Love it!!

[@youextra789]

My favorite song. The bass is as "simple" and excellent as can be !!!

[@berniepedersoli3205]

When you hear this song, and you don't keep time with something.....check your Pulse!!!)

[@lauristonplaceeh3]

I'm afraid you're spectacularly off the mark on that backstory! "How Long (Has This Been Going On)?" is a song composed by George Gershwin, with lyrics by Ira Gershwin, for the musical Funny Face in 1927.

[@miltvolosyn3446]

@@lauristonplaceeh3 Well thanks for bringing up this information, but first I think your use of the adverb “Spectacularly” was a bit over the top but we’ll let that slide. Yes Gershwin’s did write a song entitled “How Long has this been going on”, but then again so did Carly Simon - using the same FULL title,, and guess what….neither of the words are any where near each other…including the Ace version “How Long (has this been going on)”. Notice the difference in the titles. Now I have no idea if the musical arrangements are anywhere near the same on all three songs (and I doubt they are), and I really don’t care! All I know is that the backstory I cited above I heard from 2 different DJ’s (one a nationally recognized expert) and if you look up the Wikipedia on “How Long; (Ace song)” you will find the same backstory as above, perhaps written a tab better than I. I think you and I have educated the public enough but thanks for the comment and getting me to research this, it was enjoyable.

[@lauristonplaceeh3]

@@miltvolosyn3446 Dear Milt, Thank you for so civilly correcting me. You are absolutely right: the songs are completely different. I don't know how or why the misconception lodged in my brain. I have always liked Ace's song very much, so it wasn't that I was trying to put it down. I first heard it back in the Jurassic Age (before KZbin) when I was working for the "Melody Maker" in London in the early-1970s. Somehow I heard that "the song was by the Gershwins", and that "info" somehow stuck with me. But I suppose, in the absence of instant easy access to recorded performances at the time, I just assumed it was the same song. But, of course, as you pointed out, it aint. Kind regards, LP.
