Rubettes - Sugar Baby Love - Then and Now

Rubettes - Sugar Baby Love.
Alan Williams, John Richardson, Tony Thorpe, Mick Clarke, Mark Haley, Peter Arnesen, Bill Hurd.
Just a little fun - mainly because it just had to be done. I do wish that the audiences in these videos looked more like they were enjoying themselves as some of them look like they wished they were somewhere else. I know what I would have been doing if I had been there!!!..Hope you enjoy my tribute to Sugar Baby Love then and now.

Absolutely fantastic 👍🏼 50 years on and it sounds as good as it did back in 1974. Anyone else listening 50 years on . 😃

[@lloydzilinski4401]

April, 2024 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. This was such a cool song. I was a child of the 60s (70 years young now) but I kept buying records (tapes and CDs) right through the 90s and into the early 2000s. Stopped for a while but have been buying some old vinyl recently and buying new CDs by old favourites. Mark Knopfler, Shania Twain, Terri Clark, Robert Plant duo with Alison Krauss, and others. I have this Rubettes on a 45 single.

[@user-ir2oz2es5q]

Впервые услышал в 1973 году, накануне ухода в СА, в ночном эфире по приёмнику. Запала сразу, и постоянно крутилась на языке. Только в 10-х годах этого века нашёл, и припомнил первое услышанное восприятие. Ничего не изменилось. Молодцы парни. В те годы расцвет рок-истории. А нас кормили " Самоцветами" да прочими"Машинами..." Грустно как то!

Llega a mi mente esa radio a tubos, mis hermanos muy mayores tocando su guitarra sentados en una banca de la plaza...tiempos sencillos que no volverán. Hoy, con 55 años, escarbando en internet junto a mi IPad.
