Why the fuck did this all have to end? Born in '94 and I can't stand most modern popular music. This is when things were all good! Just positive vibes and enjoyable music. Long live the '80s.
Don't get me wrong, there's still good music out there, it's just due to social media and the internet there's just too much to chose from/trudge through. I'll rephrase my original comment - I wish POP music was still this good!
Doy gracias a dios por haber vivido esa epoca y haber bailado estos grandes temas, esta musica te hacia vibrar y llenarte de felicidad, porfavor 🙏🙏🙏🙏 que no muera nunca esta musica, vivan por siempre los 80
Should I admit this, I am a 47 Year Old straight Guy who still dances like Jimmy!!.........I blame my Father, who back in the mid 80's could bust a move to Bronski Beat like a boss LOL
I love how in this version at 3:05 they swap voices to show it's a playback and they love it. So Jimmy sounds like a man (instead of his high voice) and Sarah Jane sings high (instead of her low voice)
The Communards were one of the few bands that could take a cover and make it better than the original. As a person, Jimmy had seriously big balls and guts. Go Jimmy!
This is one of the most truly joyous performances in the long history of TOTP and for the older watchers one of the best Max Wall impersonations you will ever see by Sarah Jane Morris
Great song. I love the way towards the end at about 3.05 they lip sync to each others parts. That is so cool and funny. The way they dance and interact is brilliant. Love this song,
If my memory serves me right, they'd asked to do this live, TOTP said 'no' so they did each other's part as a kind of mini-protest - apparently the TOTP producers got the hump about them doing that, too...
Apparently the producer wasn't happy they had lip synched each others part. He wanted to maintain the illusion it was live. Anyone can see it wasn't. Great song. Love the 80's
love love love the fun they had with this @3:04 when they swap vocals... I totally remember watching this on Top of the Pops and saying to my friend "they swapped they swapped, obviously miming" lolol
Imagine my surprise in a pizza express in kent,when the very good jazz pianist says' i cant get away with not doing this song' and then plays a slow version of this- i then realise it's sarah Morris!! Still making music - bought her cd😁
Everytime i listen to this song and this particular video just moves me. So fn powerful. The vocals the lights the band is absolutely in sync. Hard keys on the piano to the crisp horns. Perfection
Nice to see the Rev Richard Coles on keyboard I transferred it from an old vhs tape I had : ) Glad you found it un gran tema, expetacular !!sin duda inolvidable.
It's a great song, but I wouldn't call it positive other than the tune. The lyrics actually come off as mildly depressing. But I guess that was pretty standard for 80s pop.
It being TOTP it was lip synced, so they mimed each other's parts for those bars. I believe, and I could be wrong, there was some media discourse; Jimmy being the man should have the deeper voice etc. So they played about with it. They're the talent, why should they conform? It's a good bit.
Puuuuta que lo pase bien bailando la musica de The Communards me encantaban y aun me encantan me da mucha nostalgia es que lo pase tan bien, que tiempos aquellos que no volveran.
Nice to see the Rev Richard Coles on keyboard I feel robbed. Sustained Close-ups of everyone BUT the drummer! I always thought a black woman sang this :) I love the piano part ( 2:21 ). Awesome!
Incredible energy for sure.... the co-vocalist lady's name is Sarah Jane Morris, just love the way she moves, so different yet fun. Nowadays she's a modern jazz singer ( www.sarahjanemorris.co.uk )
Absolutely love this song, really up beat and energizing. Although I've known this song for ages, could anyone tell me who the lady is dancing with Jimmy Somerville?
They compliment each other and singing this song. LOVE THEM. 💃🎶❤️
2024 and I'm still here.
Why the fuck did this all have to end? Born in '94 and I can't stand most modern popular music. This is when things were all good! Just positive vibes and enjoyable music. Long live the '80s.
YOU WERE BORN IN 94 THAT'S WHEN IT WENT DOWN HILL NOT INCLUDING THE 60S---- 70S 80S EARLY 90S WERE THE BEST
No, it went downhill around 2006-2010.
Earlier. 2002. Really, it started with "Who Let the Dogs Out" in 2000.
Don't get me wrong, there's still good music out there, it's just due to social media and the internet there's just too much to chose from/trudge through. I'll rephrase my original comment - I wish POP music was still this good!

Just LOOOOVE their role reversals at 3:03!! Brilliant song.
Haha quality you’ll be amazed how many at the time didn’t get it. God bless UA-cam
I'll admit it was a literal LOL moment for me.
I love this fantastic version, so much fun and energy. Love Sarah Jane's dancing and cheeky smile.
Should I admit this, I am a 47 Year Old straight Guy who still dances like Jimmy!!.........I blame my Father, who back in the mid 80's could bust a move to Bronski Beat like a boss LOL
2020 Anyone still Listening ?? Timeless,
Still listening Feb 2020.still love it.
Of course we are👍
Epitome of 'feelgood'.
Absolutely. I still get goosebumps ...
John Kennedy Me!
Who ever, what ever you are this has got to be one of the best feel good songs ever.
And 22 and I love the 80s proper music and singing unlike today’s crap!! I’d do anything to live 1 night in the 80s!
I love how in this version at 3:05 they swap voices to show it's a playback and they love it. So Jimmy sounds like a man (instead of his high voice) and Sarah Jane sings high (instead of her low voice)
Jimmy hated miming so this was his way of getting own back on the producers…
I still have the 12" single extended vision bloody great to hear it again and I am 62 this year. J uyst love it .
Love the 80s, love this song, love Jimmy, he's a great artist!
The Communards were one of the few bands that could take a cover and make it better than the original. As a person, Jimmy had seriously big balls and guts. Go Jimmy!
I remember when the DJ used to play this at our local night club, everyone used to scream and run for the dancefloor! Great times !
Love this Man , I Would love to dance with him. What a voice amazing ❤🎤
Great remember watching this for the 1st time back in the 80s.classic.
I'm back on the dance floors of the clubs in Nottingham listening to this! What great memories I'll cherish
im in nottingham which club x
Hi karyn.Can you remember bodegas near hockley? Was there every weekend! Don't live there anymore so not sure if it's still there! Oh the memories🤗
Sharon Vardy I miss Nottingham :-(
Brilliant, I'd forgotten all about Sarah Jane Morris walking and dancing like Max Wall, awesome.
And the future Rev Richard Coles at the piano.
Hah. I see it now..
Indeed a great voice... she's a trained opera singer.
Mikem1966, your observation is genius.
This is one of the most truly joyous performances in the long history of TOTP and for the older watchers one of the best Max Wall impersonations you will ever see by Sarah Jane Morris
Fantastic song fantastic singers fantastic video thank god for the 70s
Danced to this in the 80's. And still do! Dance now with me 😄
Coming up 68yrs. Got wonderful musical memories - Jimmie Somerville is one of them.
This was SO good back in my day. I was 21 and really into music. SO good to see this on here.
“Don’t Leave this way” is one of the Communards best song ever
You know this is a remake right
@@KING-OMEGA He definitely made it his own!
Not technically their song because it's a cover. Personally my fave of theirs is 'You Are My World'.
It's one of the best, just like many many other songs 😉
Totally awesome track & Jimmy Somerville's amazing. ❤️💖❤️
That is so amazing missing jimmy and the band so much. Just love them anne xxxx
Loved it then love it now 😎❤️
My fav 80's song ... I was crazy about this in my childhood old days
The Reverend Richard Cole.....great video....he's just retired I think from clergy but is still a brilliant presenter on Radio 4
im a 60s and 70s man but absolutely love this
Great song. I love the way towards the end at about 3.05 they lip sync to each others parts. That is so cool and funny. The way they dance and interact is brilliant. Love this song,
The funny thing is that they're just as good singing live as lip-syncing ;)
@bgfd1 Hahahaha Roflmfao. You're right, I Had never known or noticed that, until i watched this. :)
If my memory serves me right, they'd asked to do this live, TOTP said 'no' so they did each other's part as a kind of mini-protest - apparently the TOTP producers got the hump about them doing that, too...
Apparently the producer wasn't happy they had lip synched each others part. He wanted to maintain the illusion it was live. Anyone can see it wasn't. Great song. Love the 80's
It's clear they both really enjoyed that little bit of mischief :)
love love love the fun they had with this @3:04 when they swap vocals... I totally remember watching this on Top of the Pops and saying to my friend "they swapped they swapped, obviously miming" lolol
Lil Lou the sah s
Squeeze did an instrument swap once
Lil Lou ....that was a great “we friggin hate lip syncing “ moment to the TOTP producers.....
I just love Sarah Jane Morris' dancing, she's such a doll. :)
They got a right telling off from the BBC for doing the voice swap too.
This is fabulous!!!
Jimmy Somerville bloody amazing singer don't get music like this these days
Scotty Sabo agree!!!!!
Oh I dont know, there are a few... but not as numerous as back then...
And dancer.
You can just feel that electricity between Sarah-Jane and Jimmy. Timeless and uplifting. Choose life!
@@asquietas What?........the man was a gayer ffs......preferred cock to pussy.
Yes.still listening March 2021.brilliant.

The best lady drummer in the world!
Who is she?
Was she in fun boy three?
The drummer is June Miles Kingstone
Imagine my surprise in a pizza express in kent,when the very good jazz pianist says' i cant get away with not doing this song' and then plays a slow version of this- i then realise it's sarah Morris!! Still making music - bought her cd😁
The best version of this song!Brilliant.

Nice to see the Rev Richard Coles on keyboard
I transferred it from an old vhs tape I had : ) Glad you found it
un gran tema, expetacular !!sin duda inolvidable.
In love with this. Positivity. We need this now.
It's a great song, but I wouldn't call it positive other than the tune. The lyrics actually come off as mildly depressing. But I guess that was pretty standard for 80s pop.
It was 1985 when in my country Costa Rica 🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷 in the clubs we danced to this song 😊😊😊😊😊
Did anyone notice at 3:05 they changed their voices . jimmy singing in the deep voice and sarah in the falsetto high voice.
It being TOTP it was lip synced, so they mimed each other's parts for those bars. I believe, and I could be wrong, there was some media discourse; Jimmy being the man should have the deeper voice etc. So they played about with it. They're the talent, why should they conform? It's a good bit.
fantastica versio de communards del original de harold melvin &the blue notes.
Nice to see the Rev Richard Coles on keyboard
before he turned into a boring old fart
@@fruitcake4t more intelligence in his little toe than in your entire body! Ever met him, no thought not!
@@Myrddin1955 maybe so, but he's still boring
@@fruitcake4t He's a very funny guy. Not boring at all.
Great sounds

Such a beautiful and unique voice. Love this!
The live version on here is just as amazing as I thought it would be!
Always reminds me of the Camden Palace
un gran tema, expetacular !!sin duda inolvidable.
Just fucking awesome. So much excitement! Having fun!!
Incredible energy for sure.... the co-vocalist lady's name is Sarah Jane Morris, just love the way she moves, so different yet fun. Nowadays she's a modern jazz singer ( www.sarahjanemorris.co.uk )
