[@christophermatthias3327]

The lovers rock era was a pivotal moment in British music history sadly ignored this is one of the signature tunes of that time just great.

[@gusgarcia4461]

This is a giant tune of that era. Lloyd Parks bass line. Oh god, and that wicked drumming.

[@gregdee9085]

Well it started in Jamaica...but there r many ppl who think ska started in England.

[@eastlondona.m.w2886]

@@gregdee9085 this isn't ska fella lovers rock is a completely English thing that came out of south London in the late 70s early 80s all regga comes from Jamaica but lover's didn't.

My sister was beaten up and was in a coma for a couple of weeks - this happened a couple of years ago. I kept playing this record - it comforted me somehow. She eventually recovered and although has other health problems - she's a survivor!

So true, so so true.

[@valsdolls]

This is a beautiful song. Unfortunately, I was going through a sad time. It's funny, when you hear certain tunes, it's like looking at a video in my memory bank that's been locked away for years. 😬

[@patrickhepburn50]

My word😲 The last time I heard this tune was nearly 40 years ago! Bwoy did it take me back!! I didn't even recognise the title. The only reason why I played it was because noticed the Hawkeye label and it immediately reminded me of another lovers rock classic I had, Key To The World by Rudy Thomas.Thanks for uploading Len, big respect👍🏾👊🏾👊🏾k

[@clapham93]

Yes it took me back too. Feel quite emotional hearing it after so many, many years. It reminds me of my 1st dances with boys and the nervousness. 😮 However if it was released in 1981 I would have already been in my long term relationship with my daughter's father who I started dating at sweet 16. 💏😁🧡
