i was 14 year old when this song came out, im 54 years old now SO MANY happy memories, i hope these guys and others as well who made our teenage years so happy know how amazing they are for making us HAPPY and dance nonstop
@@davidburbage3348 awwww you are definitely beautiful, i am 54 years old and i was 14 when this song came out we were so happy always dancing to this and SO MANY other amazing 80's songs keep dancing my friend♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I was one of the guys having the time of my life dancing behind Jimmy, when we got the rhythm right and Richard slid across the floor in front of us we thought we were as famous as him!
You looked like you were having the absolute time of your life. Something we can only really imagine these days! Great to have grown up in the 80s - I really pity people having to suffer the state of Planet Britain now.
Die beiden Mädchen die Rechts und links neben im Tanzen sind auch wirklich sehr gut nicht Perfekt aber genau das macht es Perfekt.Weisst du wie die Heissen? Und ob man die noch woanders zu sehen bekam?
You'll find it hard to find music you want if you stick to mainstream charts and trends. A tip for you is to search up for "genres". Will be one of the best things you'll do for yourself. If you want to find music like this look up "Sophisti-Pop", and you'll find both old and modern indie artists who make this kind of music.
Those of us who lived during this and are still here - Lordy we moved the world! And we lost so many friends. And we never forget. And we never stop fighting. And we NEVER STOP LOVING💋
All I can say is thank you as a bisexual male! My heart and condolences goes out to everyone during this time and I can’t thank you and the generations before for fighting and this generation should be grateful and so thankful and a lot of them are which is good but some of them still need to realise we are so lucky today that we are allowed to love any adult gender we choose to love without the violence of the past! Wish you all the best
This song is the embodiment of why the eighties were so great. When I hear it, I feel on one hand sadness because I'm no longer a carefree kid like I was back then, but on the other hand I also feel a certain joy that I can't describe.
What gets me is how naturally pretty the girls are. No multiple piercings, tattoos, exaggerated eyebrows or puffed up lips shaped like car tyres! I was a teenager in the eighties and loved the fashions as well as the music.
We are the same age. I do the same ol thing......when no one is around!!! Almost every 80s Hit that I remember listening to, I go back to that crazy 16 yo that I once was. I am now someone you wouldnt even think was a wild teenager. If anyone ever knew how I was compared to now, their jaw would hit the floor.
Yes. And they did it in Don´t leave me this way too. Loved their music back then, bought records. Marc Almond is another example from that era who also could cover songs in great style of his own.
Jackson Five did this years before, followed by Gloria Gaynor, huge number one hit - but none of them come near to the quality of this version from the early 80's. An absolute classic tune. What a voice Jimmy
I'm 62 and I have this on my playlist for the gym! I have so much of Jimmy Somerville on my playlist! And boy do I workout hard on the XT and treadmill with it. It makes me feel 23 again! I never tire of it!
Música única que gran reversión de un tema increíble, que no pare de sonar la buena música esa que nos alegra nuestro corazón, nuestra mente y nuestro espíritu....... .
This totally epitomises the 80s and the wonderful era that I and millions of others were fortunate to be raised in. I absolutely adore the 80s and miss them enormously. The songs being released at the time were completely banging!! What a time it was, to be alive!!!!!
I love the bit when Richard Cole’s says ‘I’m done standing behind this keyboard, I’m going out there to bust moves’, great music great era, god bless the 80’s !!
april 2021, I'm 63 years old and dancing, moving what should be waist !!! Golden years back in my soul & heart ! Jimmy I love you !!! thanks for your beautiful Downtown boy !
That lass in the black hat is so cute😊. Jimmy had such (still has) a great voice. This my favourite song of his and love his energy! Just wish I could buy some off him😂😂😂.
Jimmy had an innocence that was genuine and people LOVED him for his raw talent that would not be denied!!! I REALLY hope he has a comeback...there is a generation that should know what REAL talent and music looked and sounded like. He has no equal and never will! Wow!
June Kingston on the drums and Jimmy Somerville's vocals are a real dancefloor filler the 80s music was cracking and like this song you could dance to it brilliant love it
Love Richard Cole dancing at the end He is a famous Anglican priest-now I listen to him on radio 4 and Jimmy is still the best dancer of all time 🙏🏼🦋🏴
First, a shout out to Mr. Clifton Davis for writing this fantastic piece of music. Thank you! I've been around long enough to have been around when the Jackson 5 and Gloria Gaynor released their version of this song (both of which are fantastic) so I am quite familiar with this song. I just recently stumbled across this version by the Communards and I was WOWED!! It may be the best version yet!. Absolutely love it. It got my 75 year old bones up and dancing.
I'm 77 and feel like 17 watching this. Love Jimmy's voice and dance moves. Why am I just now hearing this fantastic music? Did this group's music not make it across the Pond in the eighties? Love it!
a masterpiece that translates the simple desire to have fun in the evening. This clip is great and the sound too. Today we no longer know how to make festive music
Wow, this still sounds so good. Jimmy is such a fantastic singer, and his voice is perfect for this song. I love this. Really brilliant, they don't make artists or songs like this any more, but at least we still have treasures like this. Thank you, Jimmy.
The Piano Man who glides onto the dance floor like a lightning bolt at 3:23 and dances likes a disco pro is Jimmy S.' s longtime collaborator, Richard Coles. He eventually left pop music and became a priest in the Anglican Church! He's now a published author and a vicar with his own parish somewhere in the U.K. Gee, life can be...unexpected. More power to him, & I hope he is happy.

Good taste in music has nothing to do with age. As proven by you.
👏👏👏👍I'm sure you still cannot help dancing to it. Keep doing that! Greetings from Italy. 😊
@@feliceradice5848 You're right! Greetings from UK.

He's from Glasgow, great dancer

This is a timeless song, Jimmy's voice really shines in this song.🎵
Jimmy's bandmate Richard Coles (aka the Reverend Richard Coles) is also in the video.
Its a cover of Gloria Gaynor's same song.
You can't beat a bit of the Communards to dance too 80's best .
As a 17 year old who definitely wasn't born in the 80s it makes me very jealous that we don't have music like this anymore ❤

It was great I was in my 20s then..Loved it
Maybe you should be making new music. :)
🤫👍👍👍🇩🇪
Ooohh wow
Those of us who lived during this and are still here - Lordy we moved the world! And we lost so many friends. And we never forget. And we never stop fighting. And we NEVER STOP LOVING💋
😢yes, we lost so many amazing and beautiful people. I'm sorry for all the losses you had. ❤❤❤
So true my youth was spent in the 80s absolutely amazing era for feel good music !!!😎
Let's all love 1 another
A loving world is better than a fighting planet
All I can say is thank you as a bisexual male! My heart and condolences goes out to everyone during this time and I can’t thank you and the generations before for fighting and this generation should be grateful and so thankful and a lot of them are which is good but some of them still need to realise we are so lucky today that we are allowed to love any adult gender we choose to love without the violence of the past!

Well put...👍

Me and the wife have 80s night twice a month...we get pissed and reminisce....beautiful...😍
I'm the same! Such happy memories. All I listen to is 80's music as it takes me back to being a child. They just don't make music like this anymore.
But remember you still have all those naughty memories 😏 😉
They all look like they’re having a blast. Gorgeous girls and fabulous fashion. Wish I was there.
I absolutely ❤️this song takes me to the 80s ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Rev is having a great time 👍🏼
This Rev has met that Rev 🙏
He’s brilliant
@@davidhinks8384 why doesn't he see homosexuality as a sin?
Wasn’t the Eighties the best decade ever ? Or is it just me 🤔 no it was just sublimely Brilliant ❤
no it's just you!
I'm still living in the 70s (that's an actual song).
The 80's was the best. An amazing life affirming decade.
@@Silfverr codswallop!
absolutely brilliant and artistic. if people don't get that they don't even know what music is imo
C'est tellement entrainement ! Un plaisir à écouter et tellement de souvenirs...
Bravo.
The one and only Reverend Richard Coles on the keyboard. Brilliant
Iconic voice , a small town boy whose songs will live forever 🏴💙
I never get tired of this video. Great vocals, great song, great times, The 80’s , best decade of music thus far!!!!
Brings back happy days I was 17 x wow 52 now x
Met my boyfriend here at tiffany's x
And pretty much the last decade of great music.
There's great music before the 80s but not much since the 80s. So glad I was a teen throughout the 80s
Verdade concordo plenamente
Just love that the Rev. Richard Coles was in this group. Legend. 80's at their best
Fantastic . 59 years old and this always gets me up dancing. My youth. thank you x
Vas y danse. Profite
What gets me is how naturally pretty the girls are. No multiple piercings, tattoos, exaggerated eyebrows or puffed up lips shaped like car tyres! I was a teenager in the eighties and loved the fashions as well as the music.
I'm 57 , when I hear music from the eighties, I dance like Im a teenager. .... Best music....
We are the same age. I do the same ol thing......when no one is around!!! Almost every 80s Hit that I remember listening to, I go back to that crazy 16 yo that I once was. I am now someone you wouldnt even think was a wild teenager. If anyone ever knew how I was compared to now, their jaw would hit the floor.
nothing better. the 80s were brilliant... i miss those years.. but we have memories, and songs like this.

Yo 59, yo tenía 22 años cuando sonaba en mi segundo trabajo en PRYCA

don't be so disappointed, you can call the shots. anything you like eh?
So glad to be on the dance floors with this music in the 80s, Now 71 & still up dancing with it!
Jimmy Summerville's voice and June Kingston's drums. What can possibly go wrong ?? Great cover with lots of energy.
She had the touch.
Best female drummer of her era bar none
The drums in this song are electronic
Superbe Jimmy......................

So full of happiness. So full of innocent charme. Wish I could go back.
Nice song Jimmy 🎼🎵🎧🎸🎸🎸🎧😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
When a song can be covered in a totally different style, and still sound great, it is a quality song.
Yes. And they did it in Don´t leave me this way too. Loved their music back then, bought records. Marc Almond is another example from that era who also could cover songs in great style of his own.
Jackson Five did this years before, followed by Gloria Gaynor, huge number one hit - but none of them come near to the quality of this version from the early 80's. An absolute classic tune. What a voice Jimmy
3 Artists. Jackson 5, Gloria Gaynor, Comunards
💯 agree!
dit straalt de jaren 80 uit. geweldig
Thanks for this wonderful upload. It's 2022, I'm 64 but I feel so much younger. The joy on their faces can be felt. XOXO
Vary nicely done.
So underrated ……gives me goosebumps every time 😀
On my worst days (aged 61)--and they are many--this song, and the Rev. Richard, can always pull me back from The Slough of Despair ;)
remember dancing to this in Omagh in 88 with my then girlfriend Nuala . happy days and nights. bring back the eighties
I absolutely love this song. I can't help but dance ❤
I'm 62 and I have this on my playlist for the gym! I have so much of Jimmy Somerville on my playlist! And boy do I workout hard on the XT and treadmill with it. It makes me feel 23 again! I never tire of it!

I'm 57 next year. I'm sure we will both see it in ❤
I'm 103 so got you beat, but i hate this song.....................total crap
Who knew we were dancing in a vanishing world. How different it all is now. We seemed madly innocent then,looking thru the lens of today .
The Industry was changed by design, with every decade. They want to destroy us.
How can you not wantto get up, move your feet, wave your arms and just smile for 3 mins. The perfect pop dance song. Thank you Jimmy
So glad I was there in the ‘80’s. Such a privilege to have lived it! (And the late ‘70’s)
This totally epitomises the 80s and the wonderful era that I and millions of others were fortunate to be raised in. I absolutely adore the 80s and miss them enormously. The songs being released at the time were completely banging!! What a time it was, to be alive!!!!!
This brings total joy! I don't even know how to explain to my teenaged kids what it is that they've missed... it will never be like the 80s.
Bring back the 80’s. The clothes, the hair, the makeup... the music 💙💚❤️🧡
I love the bit when Richard Cole’s says ‘I’m done standing behind this keyboard, I’m going out there to bust moves’, great music great era, god bless the 80’s !!
Seriously, he's like, "yeah, time for me to take my double breasted suit on to the dance floor and take this to a new level". 😅
The Best Romantic Song and Fantastic Melody I Love Watching This Again and Again Now ...❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😁😁😁🤩😍
They're all having a blast! What a great song, what a great time!!
I don't always listen to this song, but when I do, so do the neighbors.
I use headphones
Lol
Never can stay quiet
Nice I like it
I hope to do the same!

I REALLY hope he has a comeback...there is a generation that should know what REAL talent and music looked and sounded like.
He has no equal and never will!
Wow!
He never stopped- he plays throughout Europe and has many albums sine- All great!
Innocence? Did you know him? He's still out and proud...very popular all over Europe.
he never stops ..we were going to see him and nik kershaw in leeds this summer until the lockdowns
Innocent and true! He is himself!
Lol. He never had an "innocence". Brilliant nevertheless
June Kingston on the drums and Jimmy Somerville's vocals are a real dancefloor filler the 80s music was cracking and like this song you could dance to it brilliant love it
I grew up hearing this. Forever magical. Thanks for uploading!
Love Richard Cole dancing at the end He is a famous Anglican priest-now I listen to him on radio 4 and Jimmy is still the best dancer of all time 🙏🏼🦋🏴

Jimmy es un artista increíblemente talentoso y muy guapo ,además de bailar divinamente ❤ mil bendiciones para él ❤
By far the best version. Love the orchestration.
This song and Jimmy S. Never grow old. Timeless. Thank You Jimmy.👄

One of the ultimate mood lifters and dancefloor fillers. Never fails. Glad I was born in 75 and therefore able to appreciate this first time round.
I'm 77 and feel like 17 watching this. Love Jimmy's voice and dance moves. Why am I just now hearing this fantastic music? Did this group's music not make it across the Pond in the eighties? Love it!
That would would make this song 60 years old 😅😅
This bloke is fantastic singer and dancing the hole package
It was a magical time - & We'll never be able to have it back,ever again‼️😪😢😭

Against all the Sadness... this Clip! Great!
Miss dancing to these 80's tunes! Loved it! Turning 60 this year and have no regrets! Lived in the best years!
Have an birthday! 🥳🎂🥂🍾🎁
The song was composed by Clifton Davis in 1970. I was one month shy of my 18th birthday! This song epitomized the great music of the 70’s.
I absolutely love this track. Such a reminder of my teens. Rev Richard Cole is fantastic in the video.
He is, he's having the time of his life.
Absolutely class wat lucky people we were to have the 80s
Love love love this version
This song deffo takes me back to my clubbing days so much members of the 80s ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤣🤣😍😍

Literally just came up to that point i the video as I read this....looks like the guy from Talking heads once in a lifetime
He presents a program on BBC.
I’ve met him a few times he’s an amazing guy 😊👍🏻
Very funny man
I still can't get used to seeing him wearing a collar : )
He seems like a nice chap.
So glad Richard was in the jungle this year. Another chance to play a timeless classic
