For me, their best track. RIP Martin Lee 🥲

I preferred Fernando. Oh … I almost forgot … it wasn’t one of theirs (though they clearly wished it was! 😂)

Such a catchy song the very first time I heard it and it shot up the charts and hit number one in early 1978! They can't even write a catchy song today... It's all shite! If you hadn't hear this for nearly fifty years - you'd still be able to sing it and remember the words!

I don't give a damn if they are a rip off of Abba some people take music far too seriously. They look like they had heaps of fun!

[@gilliangrant8764]

How can they be a rip off when they were making music way before Abba?

[@БорисВасильев-с4ш]

Помню у меня был большой диск "Мелодии и ритмы зарубежной эстрады" 1-й или 2-й, точно не помню. Так вот, на этом диске была эта песня. Тогда мне было чуть больше 20 лет. А теперь увидел самих певцов. Спасибо TopPop за то, что выложили этот ролик.

The ABBA comparison is obvious but these songs were equally catchy if not as timeless as their Swedish counterparts.

519 Forestmonk I agree but they sang some good stuff to 😎

[@timheathfield2261]

Think they where before abba.

[@RoadCone411]

Why can’t you compare this to ABBA? It’s truly just a copy of what made ABBA famous, except the song is not quite as catchy, dramatic or harmonious. This group may have been around longer than ABBA, and both won Eurovision, but it’s pretty clear to see what they are doing here. I’m not trying to piss on their parade but surely this was obvious even back in the 1970s. Maybe that’s why even my teenage children are familiar with ABBA but I guarantee you they’ve never heard of Brotherhood of Man.

[@519forestmonk9]

BloomingOnion no. Sorry, Abba was catchy yes, but they also had depth and talent. This is just simple Pop ditties
