Alas, in 1978 you were just alive you couldn’t stipulate that you were glad to be alive in 1970 because you were a kid and not really thinking in that way. You were just alive mate that was it nothing special.

Amazing Darts. Saw them in Gt Yarmouth (Tiffany's Ballroom) in 1978. They had had a hit with "Daddy Cool" and were touring to promote their follow-up single "Come Back My Love". Griff wrote "Sometime Lately" which is a fab R+R Ballad. Should be a standard. Had they been around 20 years sooner they would have been worldwide stars I think. Certainly up there with Dion and the Belmonts..

saw these twice, in Great Yarmouth Den Hegarty dived off the stage into the crowd, cause he never hit the floor too many people couldn't get out of the way, bloody good laugh.
Saw darts at manchesters belle view,kings hall in 1974,they were warm up act for the great Jerry lee Lewis,where a night of teddy boy madness ensued,cracking night out😎
I've always like do-wap,and I enjoyed this when it came out, but over almost five decades later, seeing and hearing his again has made me aware that I'd been unaware of how slick and polished a vocal and instrumental act they actually were-especially when compared to the shit acts that made it big in the early to mid 70s. I wonder what happened to them?
Jay I’m exactly the same - they were brilliant - I loved them when I was a kid but forgot about them - I keep listening to them lately with a deeper respect 👌🏽
Utterly brilliant song. Still holds up and sounds fresh in 2023.
Don't forget Rita Ray!! Magnificent contribution
RIP Bob Fish - lead vocal for this great Darts hit - passed away August 21st 2021
😥
Excellent song, beautiful lead vocals from Bob and written by Griff. It’s just perfect!
Saw these twice in concert, fantastic band. Fancied the heck outta Rita.
When the charts mattered. Superb band. Much missed Bob fish ... x
Nothing as classy as this is made today in the music world. It was a joy to be around in 1978.
Alas, in 1978 you were just alive you couldn’t stipulate that you were glad to be alive in 1970 because you were a kid and not really thinking in that way. You were just alive mate that was it nothing special.

Brilliant and their best hit

Dede-dedede
Dede-dedede
It's raining, raining down on me, yeah (uh-uh-uh)
I'm drowning, I'm drowning in misery, yeah (uh-uh-uh)
I'm thinking that now I'm alone (uh-uh-uh)
I just want to be going home (uh-uh-uh)
I wish you were by me to hold me (dede-dum-dede)
And help me pull through
Girl, I'm crying, crying out to you (uh-uh-uh)
And I'm hoping, hoping I'm getting through (uh-uh-uh)
I've never been feeling so low (uh-uh-uh)
But I can't let my pain ever show (uh-uh-uh)
But from your eyes (uh-uh)
I have to hide these feelings inside (uh-uh-uh-oh)
That's why I'm crying
Tadada-tadada-tadada
Tadada-tada-tada-ohah
That's why I'm saying
It's raining, I'm crying, I'm sinking, I'm dying
It's raining, I'm crying, I'm sinking, I'm dying
Oh, I'm sinking, I'm sinking in the crowd (dede-dum-dede)
Sinking in the crowd (dede-dum-dede)
I'm praying (dede-dum-dede)
I'm praying out loud (dede-dum-dede)
I'm praying out loud
Will this ache in my soul ever cease?
Ache in my soul ever cease
Can I sleep and find myself some peace
Find myself some peace
Outside I play cool
But inside I'm hurting for you
(Uh, mamama) Oh, darlin'
Outside I play cool
But inside I'm hurting for you
Oh-oh-oh, oh, little darling (dede-dum-dede)
I'm dying inside (dede-dum-dede)
Oh, I'm thinking about you, yeah (dede-dum-dede)
My my my my my my my my, little girl (dede-dum-dede)
Uhh
I want you by my side

I heard this song when my brother was in the hospital ❤
The memories this song brings back are incredible ,but now I can enjoy it for all the right reasons.
My favourite darts song
Its ages since I've heard this, just heard it on Radio 2,' johnny walkers sounds of the 70s,' must get a vinyl copy.
Loved this band.Harmony was exceptional.
Watched again 17th August 2022!
We saw them at the Civic in Wolverhampton-wonderful night
All there mannerisms are amazing loved this group
Absolutely brilliant
WONDERFUL.I REMEMBER DANCING TO THIS SONG IN 1978 WHEN FIRST IN LOVE.
RIP Bob Fish
One of my All time favourite songs. Thank you.
Mine too! they dont make them like this anymore!
Bob was a great singer R.I.P
A song that could relate to my life now. A great song.
Back in the day when you have at least 8 members in the band with a saxophone...I miss the music of the late 70's/Early 80's :(
Thanks for sharing, shared.
Den Hegerty was box office as we're the band this is a classic 👌
Blimey, is that a young Richard Madeley (sp?) in the background @ 3:04?
The record that completed their hat trick of number two hit singles in the UK chart.
Richard Madeley on guitar,Patrick Kielty on saxophone...🎸🎷🤭
saw this band at the victoria hall in hanley stoke on trent 1978 outstanding
It reminds why I liked their music and why in my teens I had such a crush on Rita.
Yeah, Rita was lovely 😛
That sax is up there with Baker Street 👍
Saw them live once, many yrs ago. They were a great band.
Love this group always have...
Love it
I'll miss Fish's color of voice... just like Tony Williams...or Jon Bowzer...one in a zillion!!!! Gosh...how I'll miss it!!!!
Soul man from darwen Brill song great singer ktf
Listening to this song on top of the garage roofs with mate Darren stenson.. on a cassette player the memories great song..
Fantastic band amazing days 🙏
Stunning! 🥰
Who couldn’t like any Darts single- I think I had at least 6
Amazing Darts. Saw them in Gt Yarmouth (Tiffany's Ballroom) in 1978. They had had a hit with "Daddy Cool" and were touring to promote their follow-up single "Come Back My Love".
Griff wrote "Sometime Lately" which is a fab R+R Ballad. Should be a standard.
Had they been around 20 years sooner they would have been worldwide stars I think. Certainly up there with Dion and the Belmonts..
Thanks, again. Shared.
Great song very good band
Love this xx
Me too ❤️

were you at this gig (above) ?
@@lewstone1934 no, other was theatre royal Norwich
Great harmonies, great sax, and that black chick would SO get it-- what's not to like?
Saw darts at manchesters belle view,kings hall in 1974,they were warm up act for the great Jerry lee Lewis,where a night of teddy boy madness ensued,cracking night out😎
Yeah the bird was a bit of alright 😛 and a good singer to 👏😃

@@Rubyrue03 as a kid i was never a fan of darts at all, but listening to this song in 2022 in my mid 50s, kudos where its due. A fine tune.
It sure is Colin 😉
@@Rubyrue03 thats the great thing about youtube. 1 gets to listen to the golden oldies again dont u think?
Yes most definitely - it’s brilliant isn’t it !
Þhe best
💜😪💔
they just not sing them like that anymore
Got a spare ticket for Leeds in a few weeks any one want it?
richard madely on guitar
hehe! i was thinking Nigel Havers.
When was goofy guy in loud suit replaced by black dude with deep voice
September 1978 goofy guy Den Hegarty left, December 1978, Kenny Andrews joined.
What's wrong with the youth
Darts are arras
Noel Edmonds, i need to throw up now X
Just left primary ready for secondary school
