Way Out West - The Gift - on Top of The Pops

[@juanpablomoran6122]

I'm a DJ, and I had to warm up the floor for Nick Warren in 2023 in Ecuador and I gave him the dance floor with this song "The Gift." Nick hugged me and almost started to cry. Emotional moment. ❤

[@BuryTomorrow12]

¡Qué linda historia, Juan Pablo! Debe haber sido muy genial estar ahí.

[@CherylSchumacher-d5k]

I was definitely still on the dance floor as this song was usually played as the last song of the night (actually early morning) in the mid-90’s at the world famous nightclub Firestone in Orlando Florida. Loved being in my 20’s in Orlando, FL. The Clubs, DJ’s & music was amazing!❤

He was so rude - british comedy classic. To Piers Brosnan on his latest movie "I gotta tell ya, I was glued to my seat. Otherwise I'd have left." Ballsy !

[@davidsan01]

LOL - "As know ones likely to buy it" Well i did - thanks W.O.W. !!!!

[@SubZXD]

Only just discovered this track tonight, but would have definitley bought it at the time. Absolutley stunning

[@ret4kind]

I was born in a very small town in Cambodia but I was gifted with being born with synesthesia and I was born with perfect auditory recall. I tried to listen to all Western music and came across Kimball Collins and this song. It's the most beautiful song I ever heard and it inspired me to learn English. Thank you Way out West, I have to thank God and you for giving me the drive to learn English and eventually become successful and living in the USA.

God bless

[@mystevie31]

Whoa!! F that knob for saying that! This song is lovely!

[@Mixedmash13]

It's satire bro relax, it's just a character he used to play who was snarky and sarcastic lol. He's not even American 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Arsad_Ch]

This Song ... much much Memory 90s...

[@rowanirish]

This tune randomly popped into my head at work today. So I had to look it up. Great tune.

[@awhitlatch1985]

Met Nick in 04’, then again with Jody 2017. Nice guys, I was Star struck lol.

[@bionautic1]

Jody Wisternoff and Nick Warren... oh my... this is a real anthem.

[@peteredeson5647]

Top tune!from a brilliant outfit,got a couple of WOW albums,still bangin in 2021!

[@hor9278]

The beautiful vocal sample comes from Joanna Law's 1990 classic single, ''First Time Ever''.

[@happyhardcore5831]

Spreadin good music throuth the years, man! That's why I love the net

[@graffic13]

Lolz I thought it was Celine for years😅😅😅

[@norakat]

Its funny because nothings acoustic - the drums are sampled, the strings are prob played from a synth but hey you gotta do something on stage.

[@xmodrecordshypersyncrecord843]

Actually I thought it came from 1972 Roberta Flack First Time Ever

[@manchesterunitedno7]

@@xmodrecordshypersyncrecord843 Roberta Flack was actually a cover too. The original was from Scottish folk song trio.

[@billtilford3047]

An absolute masterpiece.

Sad thing is, youtube doesn't have the orange-filtered version of the video I originally saw on "MTV AMP" back in the late 90s.

[@davidlees2543]

Totally awesome the sound as good live as in the studio

[@hanisby7784]

Truly amazing...

[@djsoundsorcerer]

Man i loved this song... brings back so many great memories...i wish for those day back so often. I am currently working on a remix of this song, find me on facebook like me and watch for my post when this track drop in late Jan or early Feb. DJ Sound Sorcerer

[@danlewis3185]

Is it done ? Does it suck ass

[@DJMARINKOx]

@@danlewis3185 TOO FUNNY.... true facts!!!!!!! i just listened to Mountain by Damien Lazarus mix (aka the REAL sound sorcerer) and it blows - it made me search for the original.

[@NicolajJensen]

Fun to see, but would have been awesome to hear the live sound

[@GarKinsella]

Wow

[@ERTMedias]

There's any chance to available the official video? Everyone who attemped to upload the video was deleted

[@finlaybiddlesden2426]

Is that Jody on keyboards…?

[@LanceCashion]

LOL! Nice..... kids just having some fun. WOW, I'm feeling old.

[@SteveButchJones]

[@j.4.5.0.n]

Here because of George Clanton :)

[@The3rdRail826]

Back in the day used to play this when the Sweaties, Skunk Pussys And the Gism Monkeys were in the place, just to take the piss out of them.

[@sargongaramusi551]

Cool👏👏👏 b isn't end played!!!😕😕

[@liquidmercury1783]

[@gypster28]

[@xmodrecordshypersyncrecord843]

where was Jody in that video.

[@AnotherKentPaul]

To her left (from the viewer's right) in 1:22!

[@pop_a_holic5739]

George Clanton sent me here

[@vinnie97]

haha, a shame about the audio. Would have liked to hear the live drummer and string action (along with the keyboard work).

[@norakat]

Well I don't know if you noticed but there aren't any audio cables connected to the synths.

[@halloosin8]

@TexasMotions ditto

[@raggedtrousered534]

Any thumbs down. C,Mon where's your soul

[@guestandsons]

Ft Clive Deamer on drums!

[@annamaria8662]

Yes missed his child's first birthday to FAKE playing drums on top of the pops because it might be good for work. Think we were paid £50 for that one or may be less.

[@guestandsons]

@@annamaria8662 Thank you for info. £50 well Top of the Pops gone now so was an experience worth doing.

[@annamaria8662]

@@guestandsons If he had really wanted to do it - it might have been worth doing it. But he didn't, it was just networking which he put over our child's first birthday. No entertainment is worth more than a person as covid has shown. Take care and keep safe.

[@SJ-tk4ri]

His drumming is actually spot on - most drummers on TOTP playing to the backing track are all over the place, but his professionalism and jazz knowhow shines thru to get the fast drum n bass rhythm of this track on the money (well, worth more than £50 for sure).

[@AnnaMaria-su2rz]

@@SJ-tk4ri Can't take away the fact he's a good drummer. As my colleague said about him - he's good at hitting things. Clare's law. All those double shifts and working 7 days a week I did as an NHS nurse paid off for him so he could 'practice'. Just such a shame how he is on stage wasn't reflected off stage - Don't think anyone will be celebrating him on this father's day. I say this as someone who loved and supported him for 25 years and with sadness that despite the fame he has now, there's more to life than talent and celebrity. I won't reply to anything else now. My anger that our children found out about his marriage to the woman he brought into our family home and lived with us/befriended me, was discovered online months after the event, says it all. Another Yoko? How does a father do that to his children? No bitterness, we all move on, but I really don't like our children being hurt. Keep safe, Mrs D.

[@thorpepark1997]

I was on holiday in Ibiza when this song was released the charts are were a week behind in UK when we got back the next week I were at my childminders and I was singing this and all of a sudden came on the radio I remember this Top Of The Pops episode this presenter was not funny.

[@Ozzycastillo]

Like si conociste esta canción en la película One Day

[@DamoMcDermott]

The full version is better

[@joshrogan99]

Must have been difficult for her to learn all of the lyrics.
