The Commitments - Dark end of the Street

Great Song!

[@joymcclare112]

Hubby said this was our song,lol 46 yrs and still going strong,guess he was right..

[@arthurrobb6148]

I could watch and listen to this over a thousand times and never tire of it. A soulful sound of troubled times and commitment.

[@Gloryboy4]

Even at that early age, Strong possesed the soul voice of an angel. Why he has failed to explode onto the world of soul music since then is beyond my understanding. This guy should be on our TV's and radios all day and every day...

[@ez3817]

If there is one film you need to see before you die it is The commitments..so funny and great music.👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@alanleslie4503]

My favourite movie of all time

[@SpiritAnimalVSOP]

Agreed. I saw this back when it came out. I like to go see movies by myself and when there's not a lot of people, so matinees are perfect. When I went, there were two other people in the theater, sitting down closer to the screen. It looked like a guy and his girl. When the movie was over and I was walking out, the two people came up behind me. I looked back and it was Nils Lofgren and his girlfriend. I was in good company.

[@c.blakerockhart1128]

@@SpiritAnimalVSOP no sir. That was GREAT COMPANY. You have my admiration. Have you ever listened to his "Girl in motion" ? Such Beautiful guitar work in that one.

[@TheMongex]

a well done movie... a great soundrack... outstanding performers...

[@eveninggolf6977]

Now that is a voice. Irish Soul. Natural and raw. No shite.

[@wittesco]

The woman in the crowd at 2:29 absolutely makes my heart ache. That single clip in this movie absolutely captured the essence of what music is truly about. It speaks to people, and has the power to move people. What a powerful film! Every music lover and musician can do themselves a lot of good by sitting down and watching this.

[@waikikivids]

The director wanted all unknowns and found this sixteen year old kid with an incredible voice. Do not miss this movie!

[@cathrionas]

These guys makes me proud to be Irish... A bit like that moment in the Eurovision song contest where the River Dance crew introduced themselves to the world. Small beautiful little country - with a great BIG heart.

[@megcook1829]

I love this film and the soundtrack and to think Andrew Strong was only 16 when he filmed this his voice has the depth and maturity of a performer of 50-60 years old x

[@warnbuffetted]

I saw this movie when it first came out, and I watch it once a year ever since. DAMN! Does it ever get better than this?

[@captainjohn7833]

Hey! Quit copying me! 🚬👓

[@JohanBesterphotos]

It doesn't! And it's about time you watch it again :)

[@MJ.71]

March 21 - And I still get goosebumps listening to this... Just pure class. And Maria's eyes... Just wow

[@carolinecarolina6873]

When living in Ireland, I had the big luck to discover this fantastic movie. Very thankful

[@onedirectionbabesx]

i saw them live in the 02 last nite all reunited.. they havent lost it this song was one of the best :)

[@TheCharlieSmithChannel]

Such a little gem this film. More people need to know about it. And what a voice.

[@arthurrobb6148]

Such a beautiful song and cast,come together to make a memorable movie

[@kevinblackford4567]

the best white soul singers ever

[@ironmandave3000]

Or maybe Van Morrison. They are from the same country. Makes you wonder doesn't it?

[@irishgrl]

Don’t forget the Righteous Brothers.

[@allinwith2sChip]

I still find it incredible to think that he was only 16 at the time!! Fantastic!

[@meinrad1337]

2:15 to 2:24 absolute painful perfection..how a 16 year old was able to convey more in those handful of seconds than 90% of todays music only shows his true talent...or how far the industry has allowed itself to fall.

[@pawelrok]

Wspaniały song,wspaniały band.Piękny film i muzyka

[@jeannetteh1692]

2021 - Working from home, I found this CD again.... I hear it at lease 3 times a day!!!

[@thelosthills]

what a great movie and what great songs!

[@Donegaldan]

Very talented singer and a great movie that has stuck in my head

[@deeknits]

boy...here's one cable doesn't run enough, if ever. i LOVE this movie!!!!

[@Hot81Lobot]

Andrew Strong hat eine Stimme...unbeschreiblich.Ich liebe dieses Lied....und ich muss es einfach immer wiedeer hören.

[@Hot81Lobot]

Ich liebe den Film.Ich liebe die Musik.Und ich liebe die Stimme von Andrew Strong.Ich höre die Lieder wieder und wieder. Ich finde das Lied hier so schön,das ich Gänsehaut bekomme. Danke.

[@UnklePuck]

Amen. From the best of all Motherlands. Irish pride.

[@Steffisews]

No kidding. One of my favorite movies, ever. Have watched it countless times, and worn out countless audio tapes and VHS. Thank God for CD and DVD. Am old enough to have seen live the old school bands they are replicating; like James Brown and some of the others. This is spot on...

[@jonnylawrence3818]

What a powerful song. I think this is the best rendition.

[@charcharxx1]

Andrew Strong 17 years of age and a voice to blow you away thank god i was raised with soul :)

[@jfhburr123]

I've watched this movie a dozen times, it never gets old.

[@sillyputtytastesgood]

It's hard to believe that Andrew Strong was only like 15 when they filmed this movie. Fantastic voice, and really sang with soul, despite his age. One of my favorite movies. Hell, I might just watch it again tonight!

[@rogsarah2010]

Me and the Mrs watch the film again! Bloody brilliant!!!

[@bloomersthebear]

his face says it all. awesome. singing a song with passion and heart

[@blossom___blossom___blossom]

RIP Alan Parker, director of 'The Commitments'. A great film director.

[@flatleythebard]

Awesome version. This film has a place in my soul that I like to revisit. A lot. Geezer has an inceredible voice and I'm surprised there's not more of him around.

[@philbhoy7]

Quality stuff,the music,the humour, top film lov it

[@amandalou34]

awesome film, awesome songs ,awsome singer!

[@milliways562]

love the way he gets everyone else to be better than they thought they could be

[@parsnip39]

love this film .. no matter how many times i watch it !!!

[@obbor4]

One of the best voices I've ever heard. It's amazing with all of the garbage out there that passes for talent that this kid didn't become huge. If he would have been discovered American Idol, we'd be reading about him every day... The fantastic little movie that 'The Commitments' reached comparatively few people. It's a huge pity. My jaw still drops knowing that this incredible, heart-wrenching sound came out of such a young person.

[@paoloanselmi4701]

Rip Alan Parker. Thanks for this masterpiece

[@lergipt16]

i cant get these songs out of my head after watching this film, one of the best film EVER !!!!! :D

[@paddy415]

remeber listeing to this on my walk man back in in 1993 ..aged 14....all me mates takeing the piss...and almost 20 years later i still love the film and the song ...god im old

[@bluesatsunset]

Sweet Percy. May the lord have mercy on his sweet soul. Brilliant movie, brilliant soundtrack.

[@touchandgod]

The industry was never much, but brilliance is still everywhere. You just gotta look.

[@jeromelepulu1]

Still my favorite part of this movie. Saw it again for the first time since it came out in theatres on Sky, and was instantly transported back. This song in particular still gives me goose bumps. It was definitely the turning point in the movie and it still kicks ass.

[@eddieboi14390]

wow! he deserves a lot more fame, I can't even find many videos of him on youtube.

[@sozoal]

Awesome. Andrew - fantastic voice - Natalie - beautiful voice.

[@zanusbluesman]

I've never seen this movie... it's impossible to find!!! I have got the Cd and I think it's is fantastic!! This music goes directly to the soul!! Yeah!!! :)... Also the Commitments's version of ''Mustang Sally'' is amazing!! Great Sound!

[@chicchitammuottocifa]

one of the best movies i've ever watched...

[@pdfahie]

Loved seeing this movie in the theater. Went out and bought the album immediately

[@highlandwolf01]

ive loved this film ever since i first saw it years and years ago, loved the music in it too..brilliant singer this bloke is/was, should have had more fame

[@MatthewLushSide]

I adore this song!

[@autobatik]

They are so sweet and lovely.Thank you.

[@mothersfreakout]

I love this movie! And what a voice that he has!

[@tributevocalist]

@Donegaldan this was one of the greatest movies I've ever seen, every rendition of every song they did was pure magic, and that lead male singer turns out was like 15 or 16 when this film was made, and I can't believe he sounded like that at that age.

[@Lunchb0xbadger]

Saw him sing live in Hobart, Tasmania. Was awesome.

[@irishgrl]

Andrew Strong is amazing. The man deserves more recognition than he's gotten. Ive only seen a very few people belt out Soul the way he does. Ive purchased his solo albums, and he can do other genres but I think I will always associate him with his Soul singing. The Commitments was a masterful film, in every respect.

[@tallilaholzel4677]

Ein großartiger Sänger - und ein phantastischer Film!!

[@terrydarby3897]

This song really touches my heart love it

[@robertlepper5460]

In the spirit of ceasing to be a music snob I decided to watch this clip. Wow.

[@mickthemardy]

Great music, great city, great people, great times, great humor......just great!!!

[@bluesatsunset]

Maria Doyle Kennedy, how I yearned for that girl in 1992. Fantastic film.

[@zajper26]

what a voice he had i love this song:)

[@ajderm]

Maria's eyes are the perfect background for this song..

[@motovun1961]

Andrew Strong's version of this song makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. He sings it with real SOUL. :-)

[@richardmoores]

Great film, excellent music! Deco makes the maddest facial expressions when he sings! He does that live too!

[@aquablushgirl]

Oh my God. Brings back such happy memories. I saw this at the cinema 3 times. Totally fabulous.

[@garryowen852]

good movie,great songs. tears in my eyes watching it with my girlfiend at HK causewaybay.

[@elementz1986]

I can't believe the singer here was only 17 at the time. He looks/sounds so much older. Brilliant never-the-less.

[@marylingo5966]

He was only 16 years when this film was made. What a voice, if you love music you will love it.

[@kevinblackford4567]

looked more like 26 lol

[@Chrille5782]

18!

L-R: Maria Doyle, Angeline Ball, Bronagh Gallagher From the movie The Commitments (1991) All the actors in the band sang/played live during shooting of the film. The lead singer, Andrew Strong, was 16 at the time of filming.
