THE MARMALADE - FALLING APART AT THE SEAMS

[@jamesboyle8939]

The '70s. I wish I could live them again. The '70s are good decade. I'll never forget my friends. I'll never forget the music in the '70s

[@lindajordan6753]

70 years old and wishing I could go back to the 70's!

[@user-xc7se5mv9x]

Life was awesome then,great memories 😎

[@JaquieAllen]

Me too

[@christinescott378]

Me to it was the best decade & I cry when I remember knowing I can never go back

[@lindajordan6753]

That's what I'm doing now! 😢

I too.

[@15loucanova]

Me too, I’d give anything to live those happy years again

Best year of my life 1976

[@briancurrie1155]

Great music great days never see the likes again

[@archiet2205]

“I was a yesterday man until I find you”… just pure, great pop. Lyrics of truth and melodic and sophisticated harmonies. I miss the 70’s…

[@thepropertyinvestorscoachi4396]

That bass player is just so good.....!

[@goonerbeau]

One of the most underrated songs of that mid '70s period. In an era when anything went chart wise in the UK, how this didn't make No.1 - let alone just graze the Top 10 is a mystery to me..

[@seltaeb3302]

Stop using underrated. We rated it back then 50 years ago. This standard was par for the course back then.

[@dannybryan2398]

My mam used to play all her records on a Sunday morning while making the dinner and I was only about 5yr old and this song always stuck with me, so memorable

[@audreymcpike4300]

Love this song so many memories

[@malcolmsandford5335]

Underrated song by a very underrated group,superb harmonizing as always with the marmalade,top top group.

[@briancurrie1155]

Fantastic band great time for music and to be a teenager

[@jeffshark4]

2023 and I still love this song and the marmalades since the song came out'60s and '70s their music gives a shiver down my back

[@jeniferholmes2588]

Rip dean such a amazing singer left us too soon❤❤

[@MPHS1977]

Sounds so good after all these years. All over the radio in the summer of 1976.

[@kimcutts6153]

I loved this song back in the 70s, (still do tbh). Lead singer has a fab voice. ❤🎼🎶🇬🇧

[@yvonnescholey8972]

I always thought this song was by the Dooley’s it was such a surprise to find it was by Marmalade, the range of music they played was great. It’s a shame there is nothing as good as this out there now.

[@AshNoon]

1970s the best decade ever for everything , from the music , cars , and even a good power cut twice a week 😂😂😂😂😂

[@menacelurkingyet8345]

"power cut twice a week" ??

[@DSPS-zu8zs]

@@menacelurkingyet8345 Down to the strikes Takeahike. Energy had to be rationed so power went off. Remember walking home in the dark with a torch as there was no street lighting. Happy days though.

[@gregophilip6858]

this band should have gone much future i seen this band 3 times and every show was brilliant they are a number one band of all time for me

[@jeannelson7139]

Love it 😀 memories 💞

[@derekpeel22]

Wonderful memories of 1976 red hot summer and some great music!

[@uk-neil1234]

A good song from a great band that were vastly underrated.

[@seltaeb3302]

Not by us who bought it. A very rated band indeed.

[@karinahamid1238]

RIP Dean Ford, vocalist Marmalade is the best

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

Marmalade getting a fresh hit in 1976 after 4 years absence from the charts. Sadly it was their last.

[@TheRunner75]

I have this single. It's just a pity that the sound take is not in stereo here which was already the rule in 1976.

[@CrankCase08]

The bass player is the only one from the original line up, so not the real Marmalade.

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

@@CrankCase08 Not Quite. Drummer Alan Whitehead was also an original Marmalade member albeit joining the band in 1966. They traded as Dean Ford and The Gaylords between 1964 and 1965, went to England in 1966 and changed their name to The Marmalade by the time their first CBS single Its All Leading Up To A Saturday Night in mid 1966. Alan Whitehead was the only English man in the band. The other four were Scottish. In this clip you'll see both bass player Graham Knight and drummer Alan Whitehead and they both played on the 1977 album The Only Light On My Horizon Now. I like that particular album and new lead singer sounded very much like Dean Ford.

[@TheAtticradio]

@@TheRunner75 could be worth something now !

[@rickmontgomery3037]

A perfect pop song from start to finish. I particularly like the simple, but very effective synth string usage.

i saw Marmalade last night, Sandy Newman still singing as well as ever

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

Sandy Newman was/is a fine singer and has been the Marmalades Lead singer for over 40 years. Dean Ford was magnificent but Sandy is great also!

[@francismurphy7248]

I love this song , I was 17th , when this song was released , still sounds as good as ever , the sound of an summer gone by .

[@lornamackenzie2525]

One of the best bands to come out of Glasgow !

[@user-cn2lj3ub2n]

One of the best bands ever exist.

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

Surely THE best!

[@bredadalton3290]

What does guy trying to do why is he called marmalade Dean Ford is Marmalade he should be a tribute act I spoke to John who does give great answers so honest he actually said to me that he agreed with me as he feels the same and Browden I think his surname just in case you were wondering who I spoke to I am fed up with people who tries to be another person but there’s only one Marmalade and that is DEAN FORD god bless missing you fly high until we meet again 🎤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

@@bredadalton3290 Sandy Newman is a great singer and actually sounds a lot like Dean Ford but I agree with you: Thomas McAleese(Dean Ford) was a superb front man and things were never the same in the Marmalade camp after he left but one has to give credit to the band for persevering and their 1977 album on Target was actually pretty good.

[@elizabethdevine7634]

The brilliant Marmalade. ..I was lucky enough to see them live a few years ago at local 60's show here in Northern Ireland. .sang all their famous songs...great memories

[@Ardoyne10]

[@christinapike7969]

Just heard this on BOOM radio, they just don't make music like this anymore ❤

[@thomasmarthinussen8978]

Tony Macaulay sure had the midas touch. He wrote countless pop gems and this is one of his finest!

[@pennylean6988]

Didn't realise this was a Tony MacCaulay song. Have always loved it, and lots of his other songs. You are so right, brilliant writer of pop songs. The Fantastics spring immediately to mind.

[@rootangent5607]

How comes a song like this did not make No.1?

[@anakina1]

Because it isn't that great. Very generic. No Dean Ford, you need more?

[@moobag587]

anakina1 rubbish

[@pharaohqueen]

One of my favorite 70's songs

[@alecgraham4328]

A true classic

[@rootangent5607]

No Dean Ford in this lineup I think. Not sure when this was recorded, but the Marmalade LH lead guitarist is also absent .

[@andrewswift8139]

Remember this from the Spring of 1976. Did well to have a Top 10 hit considering original singer Dean Ford had left the previous year

[@lindareadman1451]

Love this song still enjoy listening to it now wat a voice

[@MrDoowop1969]

Favourite song of theirs!

[@LolaCrazy2221]

Great song! I remember first hearing this song when I first learned how to swim during the summer of 1976. It was at a pool at the JCC in Trenton which had just opened up. I remember hearing this song along with "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band and "Get Closer" by Seals and Crofts. Great days in my life and great memroies!

What a beautiful song... You can be down and out and someone from nowhere can appear and and bring you back to life... But then after a few years you feel or believe your losing them... And you do... A terrible feeling... But better to of loved and lost.. Than to feel nothing special for anyone throughout your life.. And to remember that for a certain amount of time in your life you felt alive... Priceless... Great song marmalade..

I found this by randomly clicking at a website listing a lot of bands, singers and songs. One of many great songs I found this way.

[@jazz185]

An old tune & well known Jeff, though can't fault your taste. The original band toured the dance halls of Scotland(& the rest of the country) in the 60s along with Love Affair, Amen Corner, Desmond Decker, Geno Washington plus many more, playing to crowds of only three to four hundred youngsters. Happy memories of the Cragburn dance hall in Gourock Scotland.

[@chopchung]

roared with laughter and RECOGNITION at your comment "didn't think anyone knew this song but me". That was EXACTLY the thinking of my mind when I first started visiting this wonderful site.SO MANY times I had songs in my memory from school days that I was NEVER to see in any record shop and I almost began to think I had imagined them until I came across YT.

[@divinajoana1450]

Amoooooo demais achei que nunca mais a ouviria obrigado

[@yorkderek2484]

I believe this song was a top ten song in England and Germany, but in the United States I don't think it cracked the Top 40 unfortunately. It was my favorite song for 1976.

[@PaulRusling]

It made the easy listening charts in the U.S.A. and made the Top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100, IOt was their last charting single on the U.S charts.
