It seriously should be against the law that Paul Carrack has not gotten more attention from people. His voice is absolutely amazing

[@sheepdog457]

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.

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.

[@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]

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.

[@byronlapolanj]

I’m telling you guys, “How Much I Feel” by Ambrosia… I know I’ve said it a lot in these comments, but it’s SUCH a great song, and you guys will love the twist in the lyrics.

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.

[@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.

[@NathanThurberMusic]

Check out "So into You" by Atlanta rhythm section. Another smooth jam like this one.

[@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.

[@mokumboi19]

Now you need to hit up Tempted by Squeeze, which is Paul Carrack's greatest vocal performance song ever, an absolute classic.

[@stephennoble2647]

Mike and the Mechanics "Silent Running" was his swansong in my honest opinion....

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.

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.

[@NmDPlm31]

Paul Carrack, the singer on this track, is a fantastic voice who doesn’t get as much recognition as he deserves. You can find him doing lead on the Squeeze hit Tempted (among other songs), he hit bigger popularity with Mike + the Mechanics doing such songs as Silent Running, The Living Years, and Over My Shoulder. He also had a set of hits as a solo artist, including Don’t Shed A Tear, One Good Reason, I Live By The Groove, and Love Will Keep Us Alive (a song he co-wrote with that ended up getting recorded by The Eagles, but his own version appears on his solo album Blue Views.). He also did works as a session keyboard/piano player for a handful of artists, including John Hyatt, Eric Clapton, Roxy Music, Nick Lowe, and Elton John. Phil Collins once said that Carrack had such an amazing voice that he could sing the phone book and Phil would listen.

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.

[@ericgerber9751]

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.!

Ace/Paul Carrack's "How Long" was 1974. The Bee Gees didn't start their Disco-type sound, until 1975. :)
