[@allencarlson6128]

Paul Carrack is a legend. Every band he sings in is phenomenal.

[@genorp]

Actually, the song isn’t about a woman cheating. Paul Carrack wrote it when he found out the bass player, Terry “Tex” Comer, had secretly been playing with another band.

[@ediefolta9494]

I heard it was that the band found out that their manager had been embezzling from them.

[@mikeharris3733]

Facts!

[@rodhubbard6320]

@genorp You are CORRECT.

[@irishbears2103]

genorp, you are correct. I actually just learned that fact myself only a year ago, or so, and was surprised by the actual meaning of the song.

[@JAMESMOORE-gq4vv]

doesn't matter what it's about, it's music, it's whatever it is to the listener.

[@no2all]

Paul Carrack was in the touring band headlined by Eric Clapton in 2014 (This song came out in 1975). Eric introduces him and they breakout into "How Long". Serious respect from Slowhand. Carrack is often dubbed as the "Man with the Golden Voice" as he has contributed to bands such as Ace, Roxy Music, Mike + the Mechanics, Nick Lowe, Carlene Carter, Roger Waters, Squeeze, Paul Young and a lot more. This guy is gold.

[@MidwesternCornbilly]

I saw Paul Carrack play in Roger Waters band, 1988 or 89, in Atlanta, GA.

[@J_Gamble]

Never knew that. Thx

[@garyneilson3075]

[@zepmaid]

Did not know any of this. Great info. Thanks. Also, wow, some talent, Peter Carrack.

[@shirleycollins6241]

The singer’s name is Paul Carrack. I once read in an interview he stated he’d written “How Long” and it was about his bass player playing in another band while still playing with Ace. He was also a member of the band Mike and the mechanics.

[@billkant849]

IIRC the other band was Quiver. Who I heard originally as The Sutherland Brothers and Quiver on their album. BTW, the guitarist on at least some of their albums (Quiver) is Tim Renwick, the guy in the Pink Floyd Pulse videos in front of the singers.

[@swyzzlestyx]

Honestly, I thought it was his drummer who had been playing for another band.

[@horacerobinson7149]

1974 was a great year for music and this proves it this feels good.

[@JayyeStone]

One of the most underrated British vocalists, Paul Carrack. As stated below, Paul has contributed to many different projects that have had some charting singles where he did lead vocals. Nice groove on Ace's one hit wonder How Long (idk!).

[@tompickles9798]

And anything from his Suburban Voodoo album. I wore out the album in college and had to replace it. "I Need You" might be a good song to check out because it's classic smooooooth Paul Carrack. So Right, So Wrong is great, too.

[@orion246810]

This song came out in 1974, The Bee Gees had a Different sound in 1974, The Bee Gees Didn't have the Disco sound until around 1976 or 1977 That's when Disco Skyrocketed.

[@gmb858]

exactly

[@farris5918]

This is ONE of the greatest songs ever.

[@hannyland2939]

"How Long" by Ace reached #3 in April of 1975. The Bee Gees began their run of "disco" hits two months later with "Jive Talkin'" which hit #1 in late June which started their comeback after not charting a hit since 1972.

[@mkenific]

As everyone has said, Paul Carrack is one of the finest vocalists in rock music. He can sing it all. He's had so many hits with so many other artists over the year. Just a great musician.

[@bradsullivan2495]

Since that was Ace's only hit, here are three other one-hit wonders from the 70's to consider: "Rock the Boat" by The Hues Corporation "Magic" by Pilot "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by Edison Lighthouse

[@tedsmith4385]

Pilot weren’t a one hit wonder in the Uk. In fact their hit January reached No1 whereas Magic reached No 5 in our hit parade.

[@j.w.matney8390]

Oh man, I hate that song Rock the Boat for the simple reason that on the rare occasions we could listen to the radio in boot camp, this song was always playing!

Paul Carrack is a treasure - he co-sings lead on Tempted by Squeeze, sang co-lead in Mike & the Mechanics (that's him on In the Living Years which I think you reviewed already), had a major solo hit with Don't Shed a Tear, and also was in Roxy Music for a time - super talented vocalist who doesn't get enough credit - so glad you appreciate him!

[@TheOneAndOnlyFloridaMan]

If you guys haven't checked out "Hello It's Me" by Todd Rundgren, you're doing yourselves a disservice. It's in the same vein as this song. Also, that sound on the guitar was most likely due to the use of an effect pedal, probably some kind of flanger or chorus effect.

[@darkrider68]

Great song! Also check out: 1. I Saw the Light 2. Can We Still Be Friends 3. Bang the Drum

The man with the golden voice, Mr. Paul Carrack. One of the few artists that sounds better the older he gets. His voice ages like a fun wine.

[@brianyoungberg9904]

Paul is still around doing his thing, but sadly never seems to come or the US. Met him in KC in 82 when he was touring with Nick Lowe. Besides Tempted and the M and the M stuff, he has put out some awesome solo stuff.

[@agneskurzaj]

OMG the songs you forgot and bring you right back to a very specific time. I am time travelling right now. Big smile. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.

[@russellmorgan5611]

My guess is, the guitar is through a Leslie cabinet, normally used with a Hammond organ. The speakers inside the cab rotate and the rate of rotation can be increased or decreased with a switch. Eventually guitarists moved to Chorus pedals as Leslie cabs were bulky and heavy. Jan Akkerman of Focus used them extensively.

[@peterwalsh2470]

I don't know enough about super old school amps, to me you could also achieve the same sound with a flanger effect pedal, maybe some phaser chucked in as well, but as you mention, rotating speakers would create a similar effect.

[@Dreyno]

There lots of pedals these days that emulate a Leslie pretty well. Chorus never really quite did the job. Cheaper and handier than dragging a Leslie around though.

[@russellmorgan5611]

@ Peter. Old school is right Peter. The first time I heard a guitar through a Leslie cab was (ironically) Leslie West, Nantucket Sleighride. 1971. The Boss company were still Roland then.

[@alastairballantyne7789]

Another brilliant choice from my youth. One of my all time favourite tracks. This the first song on so many of my playlists. Hearing this is always like meeting up with an old friend who you hold very dear in your heart. The lead singer is Paul Carrack who is massively loved and respected especially here in the UK. Be the other way round about the Bee Gees influencing them, they would have influenced the Bee Gees. It's not about a cheating woman but about their bass player playing in secret with another band.

[@havlicekeys]

Listen to Carack's voice in "Living years", he gives a master class in soul, restraint, phrasing intonation every time he opens his mouth.

[@barbaragaspar6948]

One of my all-time favorites! I loved it in high school (circle 1974) and I love it now!

[@barblibrarian]

I have always loved this song, but I couldn’t have told you the band if my life depended on it. From reading the comments I see this is a one hit wonder. Makes sense to me. But, still love it. There are so many groups that could have influenced this sound, possibly Chicago, Bread, Three Dog Night, etc., but also Motown. This type of sound was very popular pre- disco.

[@ParkerAllen2]

It was such a surprise to see that you listened to "How Long" and "Smoke from a Distant Fire" on the same day. It's like you read my mind. I've known both songs since they first came out and always paired them together. I suppose it's because they're both about cheating and have a more sophisticated jazz-pop feel.

[@MickLoud999]

This song is actually about the bass player. He was playing with another band at this time, if you can believe THAT?!?!?!

[@VM-A4]

I am a singer and I am studying Carrack, his approach, his songs. A Brit with a soulful voice, self taught, and I am in awe. He closes his eyes and he has an inner tension in his phrases like a jazz trumpet, very complicated vocal riffs, a lot of variation in his tone and texture (this is why he is so interesting to listen to), especially in, IN THE LIVING YEARS, I bow at his altar.

They need to get rid of their click tracks and auto-tune and their computerized way of recording and get back to more of a natural raw way of recording. Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga to name a very few do that now they refuse to use all that auto-tuning and click tracks and tricks of the computerized recording studio.

There are "effects pedals" and processors that can seriously change the way guitars and other instruments sound. Jimi Hendrix and SRV were masters of the Wah Wah pedal. Jerry Garcia was famous for both his "Auto-Wah" sound as well as MIDI processors in the 90's that made his guitar sound like anything from a flute to a saxophone to a trumpet or anything else. Pink Floyd used a lot of Phasers and Flangers and Chorus pedals. SO. MANY. SOUNDS.!

Love to see how much you seem to enjoy the music I grew up on as a kid. I did what I could to pass on my appreciation for music to my own children. Including the 50's bop music, instrumental bands like the Ventures or Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass, or crooner's like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and orchestras like Percy Faith that my parents enjoyed.Then there was also big swing bands my grandparents liked. Such a huge variety out there that even with the internet so much of the music of the past is forgotten, but thankfully not lost.
