The Fortunes - You've Got Your Troubles

[@davidblake8642]

Rod Allen had such an unique voice when singing this song. Sadly missed but greatly remembered.

[@tangobango9653]

One of the very best songs to come out of the ‘60’s! 🥴

[@thomassligo72]

To those calling the current Fortunes lineup a tribute band, please remember that the original lineup had their hits over 50 years ago. Time marches on and none of us are exempt. The current band are the result of regular replacements added only as needed, and as such a proper continuity of sound from old to new is in place. Please listen to their new music. Rod would be proud of these lads.

well said

[@petegregory517]

No matter how you cut it, once an original member is replaced it becomes a cover band. I’ll never change my opinion on this.

[@davidhart7792]

Absolute CLASSIC. Thanks lads, I never tire of listening to this song.

[@richkelly7166]

Wow, these guys are still among the best ever. Rainy Day Feeling takes me back to first breakup in 70. Great tune, but I survived well

[@mikecaldwell4442]

love old pros....so much soul and talent...the drummer and the guitar player are so good

[@BackToTheBlues]

I played ans sang in a covers band for years before getting back to playing blues, and this was one of my favourite songs from our set - the harmony vocals always made me tingle! Nice to see Bob Jackson still playing, I know him from his great keyboard work with Alan Ross on The Pit and The Pendulum.

[@billlloyd4029]

He also played with Badfinger and briefly with The Sorrows

[@jun24juanhuerta14]

I remember the original song back in 65. Good version even without Rod Allen.

[@tonygroves]

In the sixties when bands like The Who, The Hollies, The Searchers, The fortunes, The Tremeloes, The Marmalade, Fleetwood Mac...(too many to list all)...lost a member, for what ever reason, they had to be replaced so that they could still play live, no session musicians or backing tapes used then, you had to perform your hits live as a band, over a period of time, as people leave the band you are left with maybe just one or just a couple of people that were in the original line up, it’s a shame but it happens. Unless a previous member owns the name or objects to it being used, bands carry on with that original name. Fleetwood Mac are a prime example of a successful band with several line up changes over the years. The Moody Blues carried on after Denny Laine left and again after Mike Pinder left, so have The Hollies, Marrilion, Foreigner, The Rolling Stones, Genesis, Queen and The Who, (the list goes on ) admittedly some more successful than others. Come right up to the present day and we have bands that carry on without replacements because they were vocalist, not instrument playing members. ie, Take That, Spice Girls, Westlife and Boyzone to name a few, Imagine the confusion if football clubs had to change the name of the club because original players aren’t on the pitch. Can you imagine ? It’s not ENGLAND without Bobby Moore or Manchester United without George best, etc, etc etc. The one thing that we can ALL Agree on is, that we love music and like to see it performed LIVE, replacements can change the sound of the band in some cases and it’s not always to our taste, Rest in peace all you artistes that have given us so much pleasure with your ability to write, record, sing and play. The show must go on, as they in the business.

Sounds great and the devious thoughts keep rising throughout my colorful mind.

[@jeanmyers02]

I have loved this song ever since it came out I think since mid 1960's

[@dennywayne8879]

They do a great job here. Great song, always has been. As a drummer, that snare sounds awesome. Continue playing guys.

[@bradentonguy50]

Yeah. Ringo should have taken lessons from this drummer.

[@patrickjohngallagher]

Brilliant job boys!

[@buffplums]

They sound just as good now

[@kerrydangerfield6528]

Fantastic keep up the good work guys fantastic

Wow look at the old fender speakers they are still using.

[@filiperocha4466]

A classic! 🎈🎼💙💛

[@martinreynolds1]

A magnificent tribute to the original band.

[@neiltrevor2162]

Michael smiten on guitar joined in 1983. No original members from 1965 still a classic band and song

[@kelvinmarshall9108]

What !!!!!!

[@richkelly7166]

Still great even without original guys. Rod was superb too.😊

[@eddieconnor8864]

Not the same without the great Rod Allen.

[@thedakotasuk]

Well Eddie, I was asked to join by Rod before he passed away and I've done my best to keep the band's legacy alive. And this year, 2021, we've had two hit singles. That's what Rod would have wanted. And I knew him. Eddie Mooney

[@eddieconnor8864]

Hi eddie, we new Rod as well. My wife Trish has followed Rod from the 60s, we travelled all over the country for years till Rod passed. We went to his funeral. We did come to see the fortunes a couple of times after Rod passed. Trish said it was not the same, my comment was nothing personal. When you speak to Bob, tell him eddie said hello..eddie liverpool.

[@tonygotts1896]

@@eddieconnor8864 Its not the same. Rod had Charisma as well as a superb voice, this potato has zero charisma and the voice doesnt make it either. Oh yes why did you leave The Dakota's and dump them in the shit weeks after you joined them?? To run to The Fortunes? VERY unprofessional. Rod was talking to a lot of vocalists matey not just you.

[@eddieconnor8864]

Hi Tony, you hit the nail on the head there..eddie.

[@stevemanleycbg.5232]

No rod allen no fortunes. Just a tribute band realy none of them played on the original hits!

[@89awcock]

Look you say that there's no original members in the band will Michael Smithson have been a member since the early 80s the guitar player. I know no members of The Fortunes Eddie bass player and Bob Jackson the keyboard player very well and they are great bunch of guys. When was Alan was ill he asked Eddie Mooney if you would like to take over you said yes I'm from one great band The dakotas to The Fortunes he became a member and since then we've been keeping The Fortunes name alive.

[@thedakotasuk]

Well I've done my best. If you don't like it play the old records mate..incidentally, we've had two hit singles this year.

[@jessevillalabos]

so forgive me if I say that I aint got no pity for you, but that aint true, you see I lost my, lost my, lost My little girl too. 😭

[@bradentonguy50]
