"The RCA-Years"
Wow, a real band. Real talent. Real song writing. Real instruments. Real people. Not a laptop in sight! No let's pretend. Real artwork. ReaL memories. You dont see that nowadays? I'm old now. I saw these guys live in the 1970s and they were knockout. What a voice! They were massive, no wonder? They will be remembered for ever.
Many thanks for the wonderful compliment. you're right, nowadays this kind of music doesn't exist anymore. everything has become fast-moving and interchangeable. but memories of another time with real music remain. Greetings and best wishes.
Wonderful Sally and Ken.Dollybird and....her dear drummer.Such wonderful people,they are.
A felicidade de um velho está em reviver o passado e sentir saudades do que se foi. E dói,ouviram bem?
Obrigado por seu comentário agradável
bellissima meravigliosa !!!! Sally love !!!!
What a wonderful and unforgettable group! I can't get enough of listening to your songs with great affection and longing! Thank you very much, Middle Of The Road, for the beautiful songs that fill us with joy and happiness, and that will live forever in our hearts!
One of the most beautiful songs from Middle of the road. I love this song so much great job.
Thanks a lot, Francois.
MOTR FOREVER. I always choke up on "Union SIlver".
Also covered by New Zealand duo, Bill and Boyd in 1975!
Never herad it till now. sounds lovely too.
Absolutely compelling.
Sally Carr
Thank you so much for this Song.Its a nice Memory of my Childhood.
Greetings from Germany an Thanks again.
You´re welcome, Lutz
At long last!
In August, I searched for this song but couldn't find it on UA-cam - and now it's here! This is the version I remember from 1974(?) and it's sooo good! And it's the only song by Middle of the Road that I like... Agnetha Fältskog's version is good as well.
This is the original version - and this is the best version of the song. Unfortunately this song has always been underrated.
Absolut. Ich bin Deiner Meinung. Das Original von MIDDLE OF THE ROAD und mit der Stimme von Sally Carr ist die beste Version. Einzig von Nana Mouskouri in französisch wird das Niveau dieses tollen Songs gerecht.
Wenn die "Smörebred-Version" von Agnetha so toll sein soll, wieso hört man davon nichts, bei dem Hype, der um ABBA gemacht wird???
sou apaixonado por essa voz passei minha juventude ouvindo ela nos rádios e cassetes, só agora com tempo para pesquisar nos you tubs da vida descobri e me apaixonei pela dona da voz
do sinto não ter nascido antes de 67 para pelo menos acompanhar mas de perto .
não sei explicar ,tem pessoas que vêem cores nas músicas outros sentem gosto ,literalmente .eu sinto algo que não sei explicar quando ouço suas musicas
Muito obrigado por este belo elogio, Cleomar Basso.
O ano era 1972. Eu trabalhava em uma multinacional em São Paulo.E conheci minha mulher. a mulher que eu mais amei e amo em minha ida. Ela com 20 e eu com 27. Ouvíamos esse conjunto, principalmente a música "soley, soley." Amo esta voz da Selly Carr. Hoje estamos velhos e juntos há 45 anos.
Ah! Meu caro Cleomar Basso. Eu tenho o privilégio de ter 76 anos. ouço essa gente boa com a Sally Car ,desde 1972. E gosto cada vez mais.
Eu ouvia middle of the road nos anos 70. Éramos jovens,cheios de amor. Bom ouvir novamente na velhice longeva.
I would always say, that the sound and recording quality of this band is superb, fantastic,perfect,....best band sound recorded ever....
Como é bonito ver dois amantes envelhecerem juntos! Vejo aqui, ambos, Sally Carr e seu marido, velhos, com cara de felicidade. Eu e minha querida mulher, estamos juntos há 46 anos! Casei-me com ela anos 30 anos e ela aos 22. Brigamos? Sim, brigamos,mas maiores foram os tempos de amor e paz. O segredo para uma convivência longa entre dois seres humanos, é a capacidade de renunciar a si mesmo em favor do parceiro, e a maturidade ensinou-me a fazer isto. Se fosse possível, eu hoje, casar - me - ia novamente com ela e viveria tudo o que vivemos novamente. VIVA O AMOR!!!
Um comentário muito bom, obrigado.
Toda a felicidade do mundo para você.
thank you for your nice feedback... this song was still underrated.
The best from Middle of the Road
dieser Song weckt wunderschöne Erinnerungen und Sehnsüchte...(kleine Träne in den Augen)....eine Zeit die nie wieder kommt wie die Jugend.....diese Musik lebt Ewig....wir nicht.
a beautiful song and wonderful video .... all the stars sent from Oslo ;)
Wonderful song my dear carina!!! I love it very so much!!!
thanks for sharing with me...kisses and congratulations!!!...bea
I still have the original MOTR vinyl record on which this great song was published: Drive On, 1973. It's one of my favorite MOTR song too. Too bad these original recordings are not available in the iTunes shop, one can only find a couple 'best of' collections there.
I sang them all live....!!!
Nice song,nice Sally.
Hörte ich immer 1973 oder 74 heimlich abends im Bett mit dem Koffer-Radio meines Vaters: Als ich noch zur Schule ging und zu dieser Zeit: 22 Uhr? längst schlafen sollte..."Schlager der Woche" hieß das glaub ich - moderiert von einem Mitglied der Rock-Gruppe: "The Lords" - Lord Knut. Einmal klopfte meine Klassenkameradin vom Haus gegenüber am Fenster. ... Wie die das hören konnte, ist mir heute noch schleierhaft... Ich hatte doch so leise gestellt, dass es meine Eltern nicht hören konnten. Und die schliefen nebenan. Ich hatte das Fenster dann geöffnet, damit meine Klassenkameradin das wunderschöne Lied nicht draußen im Kalten allein (mit) hören musste. Wir haben dann gemeinsam genossen... Nicht nur das Lied...Es war sehr schön. An das Lied erinnere ich mich seitdem (auch) gern...
Nicht nur das Lied... Hi hi... Schön ist (war...) die Jugendzeit, nö? :-) Bin der Meinung, dass man seit den Siebzigern nie mehr bessere Musik gemacht hat...
...you dirty ol' man... :-)
Nice one Rudi. I can't believe I have known Sally 40 years. That is scary !
Abba actually covered this , or at least Agnetha from Abba long before they made it as Abba. It is about mining and I guess "Union Silver" was what you were given for so many years service working in the mines. Must try to find out though !
The lyrics were written by Michael Shepstone who is the drummer of the very popular band The Rokes. The Rokes is a Bristish band who made their success in Italy in the 60's and after whom a famous guitar company named one of its models Eko Rokes.
Thanks nirgam - I'm still writing songs
probably one of their best song .
Nana Mouskouri sang the French version ( Ni vivre ni Mourir)
Simply beautiful
ich liebe diesen Song ,,,,,, wunderschön !!!!!!!!!!!
Danke Konny, ist auch mein Lieblingssong von Middle Of The Road
Écouter juste Écouter. ❤❤❤❤❤
UNION SILVER - MIDDLE OF THE ROAD
Look at her, my Friend said
pointing down the Road
You can tell by how she looks
she wears a heavy load.
So we stood and watched her
didn't say a Word.
But she must have read our troughts
for this is what we heard.
Union Silver has taken my whole Life
Irom my teens to the sixty years I'm living now.
Lord have mercy on me
come and look upon me
make a smile Show once more on my Face
Union Silver is gone before it's made
and I can feel my Shoes won't wear the Winter cold.
Can you tell me my Friend
where it's goin to End,
cause Union Silver doesn't want to know know why
Then we walked on by her
Ileaving her alone
not a word was spoken as we made our may back home.
Till this Day I see her.
See her standing there
A mining Town, a miners Wife
with coal Dust in her Hair.
Mário César - HYMNS OF PRAISE AND GLORY oh I just love this sweet song,it has become my darling😪💓💓💓💓
Thank you for the wonderful lyrics.
i love you sally

it sounds real good and persuasive.

@ssebtze
it´s a very different song to their hits like "chirpy chirpy cheep cheep" and others...
nice, you enjoyed it.
Great Vocals & Backing Vocals
Oh yeah...a lovely song !!
soul-reaching lyrics. union silver means a lot to me.

Sally's voice is so totally unique, what a sound, a so pleasant sound by far . . .
One of my favourite MOTR songs, "Thanks for uploading this great video". :)

@tjvanpopta thank you for your feedback!
"UNION SILVER" is one of those underrated songs...
not so catchy and typically for MIDDLE OF THE ROAD,
but very nice.
greetings rudi
Beautiful Sally

Sou fã do middle of the road desde 1972.
Felicidades, que cumplan mil años juntos
Gracias!
Lovely Sally you bring to .....
I've heard the Agnetha Fältskog version of this song ("A Song of Sadness and Happiness"), which I really liked, so I wanted to hear the original version -- and I like it even better! The refrain (chorus) is so beautifully done, it gives me chills every time I hear it :-) The album that this song is on is nearly impossible to find in the US; thank you for posting it!
if you like this song you should like "on this land" as well
Hi Luc, i know... this Song was the B-Side from "Honey No".
Sally still singing "Union Silver" on Concerts today...
Thank you for your kind Comment!
Rudi
Never heard of them before but they're incredible the girl is beautiful and a great singer
Hallo Rudi,
Du hast zwar die besseren Fotos vom Middle of the Road zur Verfügung, aber die Qualität der Songs ist bei mir besser...:-)
Letztlich zählt aber nur, dass wir beide dafür sorgen, dass diese herrlichen Songs auf diesem Weg bekannter werden und Gefallen bei den Usern finden.
Gruß, Jürgen
Oww... Union Silver, I see... :-). Interesting lyrics.
Send my regards to her and Ken, he's a lovely drummer.
Dear Rudi this was amazing, I love it.
What a great job you have done.
This goes to my fave.
You know I love them very much too.
Kisses Carina XXX

Muito obrigado, Luiz Soares
Thank you Dear Carina for Sharing
It´s a lovely version of a great single for our Dear Agnetha the swedish title is: En sång om sorg och glädje and it is Song Of Sorrow and Joy in english language
thank you Rudy for made this wonderful video
Pepe
The original is by Sally Carr and MIDDLE OF THE ROAD - this is the best version
The very fact that Miss Brilliant herself (Agnetha) thought enough of this song to cover it proves what a great song it is. Agnetha is the High Priestess of music.
Hey - just don't overdo it. No doubt - that Agnetha from ABBA covers this song from MIDDLE OF THE ROAD is an honor for Sally Carr.
But what remains of ABBA? Only the illusion, rumors that the band would perform again. Even new songs announced for years have not appeared until today. ABBA lives on the myth.
I am convinced that if this band would appear live again 30 years after their great successes, it would be a total disappointment for the fans.
Not only years, but decades passed that the members of ABBA did not deliver new songs.
Therefore, for me, absolutely exaggerated, if Agnetha is portrayed as a "heroine", her cover version of "Union Silver" should be better than the original. Only the original of MIDDEL OF THE ROAD is the best version of Union Silver.
@@Joe-YamahaR6 Everything Agnetha has done or ever will do is iconic. As the song says, Joe, she is the wind beneath my wings. So much so that 40 years ago I changed my name to Agnetha. But you have a right to your opinion.
@xDani3lex You are welcome darling, Rudi make so beautiful videoes and I love Middle of the Road too. Thanks for comment on his new video, that makes me very happy.
One of my fave groups.
Love Carina*
Simply a wonderful song, I think :o)
It exists in Danish as well (entitled "En sang om sorg og glæde" and performed by Grethe and Jørgen Ingmann) - wonder if it can be found in Italian too :o)
@tjvanpopta Dank je wel! Ik bijna altijd de voorkeur aan de originele versie van een lied, ook, maar ik zou dit hebben op een cd, zoals het geval er iets ergs gebeurt op UA-cam :-)
Ik zal proberen een van uw suggesties. Nogmaals bedankt!
Thanks for up-loading. Beautiful song. What's it's title?
@2007danman thank you for your comment!
you are right... this is simply one of the best songs from middle of the road.
there are many versions from agnetha, nana mouskouri, toni willé and the danish duo g. & j. ingmann.
@joegilles
you´re welcome ;-)
glad you enjoyed it!
definitely a class act
super gemacht Rudi echt super video xxx
Having never heard of this group ... sounds like something ABBA would do
Middle of the road was before ABBA. Agnetha even made a cover of this song.

@puchoinger
this song is from 1972 and i think, agnetha makes a copy from union silver.
köszönöm!
Middle of the Road war nur Middle of the Road mit Sally Carr
Ja! Aber das sehen die heutigen Leute, die als "Middle of the Road" auftreten, und deren Management leider anders.
Falls allerdings Sally Carr doch noch mal mit dabei ist, dann wird es noch peinlicher, denn die Musik kommt vom Band von 1971/72 und sie bewegt nur die Lippen dazu, so wie damals bei den TV-Aufnahmen.
@@mk0800 Nein - stimmt nicht ganz, was Du sagst. Sally Carr war zumindest im Stande, Playback singen zu können. Dass das so war, wurde und wird von den Plattenfirmen bestimmt. Das ist heute nicht anders als vor 40 Jahren. Und heute sind die technischen Möglichkeiten ganz andere als 1970. Heute gibt es Musikshows ohne Ende, Schlager ist angesagt, auch OK so. Aber da singen und vor allem spielen die nicht live. "Früher" gab es z.B. die "ZDF-Starparade", da traten MIDDLE OF THE ROAD auf und spielten live. Schau mal hier: ua-cam.com/video/a64QVp_dKbU/v-deo.html
Oder dieser Link: Live in Ravensburg 1992 - ua-cam.com/video/Xl49cCkBI3E/v-deo.html
Letztlich setzten sich die Plattenfirmen durch, dass die Songs auch bei "Live-Auftritten" in den Shows genauso klingen müssen wie auf der Platte. Dass das nach 30 oder 40 Jahren nicht mehr sein kann, finde ich ebenso peinlich. Kann man bei sämtlichen Oldie-Shows und Interpreten sehen. Von MIDDLE OF THE ROAD gibt es bei UA-cam viele Konzertmitschnitte, wo echt in live gespielt wird. Auch wenn es nicht mehr das "Original" erreicht, erfreut es doch zumindest die Herzen der Fans.
Agnetha's Version ist nur eine Kopie und kommt an das Original von Sally Carr nicht heran. Sorry - auch wenn ABBA sonst gute Song hatte. Zumindest ist es doch eine Ehre für MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, wenn ihre Songs gecovert werden.
Richtig schön ist die Version von Nana Mouskouri...
Schau mal auf meinen Kanal, da kannst UNION SILVER in sehr guter digitaler Qualität hören...
an Agnetha´s version kommt keiner heran. Sie singt es mit gefühl
@@tolgamert6324 Es geht nichts über das Original und das ist von MIDDLE OF THE ROAD und Sally Carr. Was denkst Du denn, mit was Sally singt? Mehr Gefühl und Harmonie wie im Original geht nicht. Smöre Bröd-Sound erreicht eben nicht die Wirkung wie Englich oder Französisch. Und da wären wir bei Nana Mouskouri. Allein ihre Version in französisch ist auf einer Ebene mit Union Silver von MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. BASTA
thank you for your comment... you are right in both ways ;-)
The version of Sally had the innocence quote that hasn't the Agnetta's one...Though both are good...
@missbeauty58
you are so kind my dear...
thank you very much!
love XXX rudi
@pifpoufpaf9 thank you very much for your feedback ;-)
1/10/24 - Nova audição.

@starlightnight21 thank you for your kind comment ;-)
zallig prachtig
i dont think so... but it is a point of view ;-)
@dunbunter
Well, I found the French version by Nana Mouskouri, but who sings the Italian version?
@dunbunter
could you tell us the title of the french, and italian versions, please?
@toransocalderon
you´re welcom, pepe ;-)
@mktmic7 you´re welcome ;-)
Nice song. But what exactly is "union silver"?
Union silver was tokens that could only be redeemed in the company store - so they basically worked for their keep
