I remember when I was 11 years old and my parents brought this record home from England. It was really exciting as my cousin was the drummer in the Marmalade's, Allen Whitehead. Proud moment for our family!
Dean Ford one of the most underrated singers of his time, I'm a great fan of Roy Orbison and not many singers can sing his songs they don't have the range but Dean gives a great rendition of a classic Orbison song. 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
I Can’t Think Of Many Famous And Gifted Musicians Showing Up At A Small Wedding Of Regular People To Play and Sing Songs Just For The Joy Of It. Dean Was Super Cool And A Class Act! R.I.P. Buddy!😉☺️
Why am I only discovering Dean Ford now??? We produce so few great male vocalists in these islands but what do we do when one comes along? We give them a few years of fame then let them drift into obscurity! It's time for a Dean Ford revival, to show the people of Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland what we had... and what we squandered and lost.
Dean ford you were the original guy with the marmalade you all made the band brilliant especially you as the singer and the harmonies couldn’t be better without the original band R. I. P mr Dean Ford.
I used to live in Central America and heard Marmalade's song Reflexions of my Life....it brings me memories of 1971 the first time and heard it.....Thank you Dean, you were GREAT I am sad you are gone but still with us in the memories of our lives
I'm not into and turned off by folks comparing one legend to another. I'm grateful for the flavors and the revisiting. But much as I love Roy I have to admit coming back to this cover first. I wish for Dean's sake he'd had more recognition and some deserved rewards it brings. Curious what year this was.
Always said Marmalade were the best group too come out of Scotland mainly due to Dean seems only like yesterday that Dean Lord & The Gaylords played a lot of gigs in central Scotland.
what sad news this lovely guy as passed away ,,,,,ive loved his voice and the harmonies from marmalade since the beginning ,,,,they will continue to give me great and utter joy until eternity ,,,,, dean rip xx
I'm just one of the 15,000+ who have stumbled upon this rendition. I thought only Orbison had the vocal range to attempt this song but Dean's voice just elongates & rises to each higher note effortlessly.
+Wa1kerBros4Ever totally agree with you. I have a few I put in that "please don't try to cover them" list, number 1 being Orbison (also Kd Lang & the untouchable, Adele and overlooked, Brandi Carlile-Adele covers her). This guy is amazing. That natural melasma technique in his vox, heard in Marmalade & strengthened since, was at the time of 69-70 when he recorded "Reflections of My Life," only heard in Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and very few others, motown black soul singers. Original "Blue-eyed" Rock n Roll singer.
Boy, did he have a gift!!!!!...May goodness...In Dreams is not an easy to song to sing...I always thought it was Junior or Graham singing the high notes harmonizing with him during the Marmalade run....Dean displays here he can hit any note he wants!!!
This is truly awesome. I'm a Big O fan and never thought ANYONE could touch this song, but Dean nails it with just as much operatic splendour as Roy. Everybody's right, Dean Ford is a world class vocalist as anyone who loves Reflections knows.
Music is a _business_ . It’s not always-or even often-that the best talents get the best promotion. Many other factors that have nothing to do with music get in the way, and often the very best are underrated or even put to one side.
You won't find any other covers of this song because it is very difficult to sing and do a good job. Dean Ford is the only one that can pull this off and he is easily compareable to Roy Orbison. This was in an informal setting looks like in someone's living room amd it's awesome. Too bad there isn't a recording studio version because I believe Dean's version could be just as powerful as Roy Orbison's.
Just heard the news Dean Ford has died. Remember reflections of my life as a kid, I thought it some how deep and worrying .alas we all end up going the same way eventually .
This is why I like UA-cam, to watch these wonderful moments of talented people past and present.
me to love it xx
Same here

Ahhhh soooo cool👍👏👏👏👏 absolutely love the band 💯
Dean Ford one of the most underrated singers of his time, I'm a great fan of Roy Orbison and not many singers can sing his songs they don't have the range but Dean gives a great rendition of a classic Orbison song. 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
Absolutely Robert... Dean certainly does justice to this rendition of one of Roy's greatist...
I would not trust it to anyone else.❤❤
Absolutely beautiful voice dean had🎉🎉🎉🎉😎💯👍❤️RIP dean 💙
Wow, not many people can sing as well as Roy Orbison, but this man can. Bravo
UA-cam Barry Steele for a Big O version!
Simply 😇
Wish someone who was there would comment about the experience.
TRUE! Gives me chills!
What a voice he hits the pitch as does the master Roy just stunning rendition
And all sang in a bar just stunning as said before
R. I.P Dean . Such sad news of your passing. Hopefully you are up above singing this as a duet with Roy .
I love this version...what a voice...
Roy himself would surely approve..
RIP Dean..❤
I Can’t Think Of Many Famous And Gifted Musicians Showing Up At A Small Wedding Of Regular People To Play and Sing Songs Just For The Joy Of It. Dean Was Super Cool And A Class Act! R.I.P. Buddy!😉☺️
I can’t stop listening to this by the gifted and astonishing artist Dean Ford. I actually prefer this version. Xxxx
Me too Anne.. there is just something so fresh and beautiful about it... He was certainly very under-rated... ❤
Why am I only discovering Dean Ford now???

Me too!!!
Because he was a genius

Reflections of his life, RIP the late great Dean Ford, simply magical.
Love all the songs by marmalade .but this is outstanding .RIP Dean x
Beautiful singer
Just come across this song. Dean was an unbelievable singer so glad growing up listening to the music himself and marmalade made R. I. P. DEAN🎶
With that voice, one wonders why Dean never became big as a solo artist?
Dean was a big artist
yes.... why
it's a shame..he never became big as the Beatles... he is a king of the rock band
Music is a _business_ . It’s not always-or even often-that the best talents get the best promotion. Many other factors that have nothing to do with music get in the way, and often the very best are underrated or even put to one side.
He had problems with the drink
R.I.P. Dean will be sadly missed
Keep coming bk to this song so beautiful just like all deans songs. ❤❤
