It's really nice to see Jimmy Somerville looking so relaxed and so happy. Utterly brilliant singer and such a great mind for music. Himself and the Reverend Richard Coles were legendary.
I love his voice , amazing . I’m straight and I use to get a lot grief for loving his music. But man , beautiful music has no borders when it comes to your ears. To many people let the world, dictate what is good music is to them. If you really like something as a teen. And ten twenty years later you don’t. Then you probably didn’t really like it in the first place. I can’t really think of a song I liked as a kid that I still don’t love today. I’ll love bronski beat until I die!!! Thank God for that voice!!
Bronski Beat had so much guts in the 80's not hide who they really were. Not like some others of the era who made millions and portrayed and false persona. Go Jimmy!!!
I met jimmy way back in the 90s and he was a top bloke, blown away by how tiny he was lol but great guy n musician created many anthems of the 80's that bring back great memories. RIP Steve Bronski
Good to see jimmy Somerville so relaxed and happy loved him singing dont leave me this way and you were cracking in the 80s and still today aswell love your energy aswell and your voice brilliant
@@jaykaye7025 I'm sure because some people thought she should be really only into black straight males instead. I am glad Seven was not deterred from loving fabulous Jimmy and his music.
This song takes me back ...thanks jimmy for a great song...im str8 but im absolutely against violence against gays and lesbians...i was bullied at school...i hate any kind of bullying
So fascinating and exciting to get to know this precious human being, as humble as he is brillant, authentic and talented, a rare person, such as, one does not often meet 👍❤️👍🤩
@@bwydI have known that for quite some time now, but I wondered for years after buying "hundreds & thousands" Another great example is a live version of "Heavens above" from 1987.
+steevo62 Well he has you can tell from the video clips they showed, really liked all his stuff he has done with: The Communards + Bronski Beat and his solo stuff
Jimmy has aged gracefully or maybe he hasn't aged much ,jimmy if you ever read this your an icon for all genders, love you so much,you lovely brave man,❤❤
fufufoofoo - are you kidding??? He was/is a HUGE gay rights advocate, one of the very first to be out and proud - never hid who he is, never cowed by gay bashing and homophobia
lol he is normal, and yeah everyone I thought knew what smalltown boy was about, good job we had artists like him because it was a pretty grim time to be gay in the 80s.
Jimmy is the ultimate coolest warrior ! I can't express how much admiration I have for him, he's history and History will tell you so in years...people easily forget the battle after victory or so even when the struggle stills on.

I just adore Jimmy’s voice, it’s beautiful ♥️
Can't believe the speaking voice compared to the singing voice
Done in a falsetto. Probably easier for his voice.
That's his own singing voice you can hear lead on "Junk" on Bronski's first album.
Dos not only play it falsetto on that one.
@@bwydI have known that for quite some time now, but I wondered for years after buying "hundreds & thousands"
Another great example is a live version of "Heavens above" from 1987.
Seen him at 80s remind dam he can sing he was brilliant.
awesome interview
What an Amazing Man.
absolute Legend
Yea such a nice guy 🙂
I am 42 years old and would have been 4 when Bronski Beat came about. I just discovered his work and how intrigued with it.
J' adore jimmy😍😘💘💝💖💓💞💕❣💋❤💯👩
Top man
+Micky (Slotski)
he's actually a bottom
exelente explicacion jimmy.
The Countertenor voice is the rarest of all male voices.
Ah Jimmy ,he looks great .,.im the same age but I still drink and will never stop ,.each to their own I guess ,.,..
Jimmy 🙏🏻🙌💜💜💜💜💜
What a difference a day makes
great , keep it singing.
When you head Jimmy singing it's hard to think that he actually hails from Glasgow.
Jimmy is a GODLIKE talent....
Sweet chap
he actually made some catchy beats
See you jimmy 🤗😘
jesus, he hasn't even aged !!
+steevo62 Well he has you can tell from the video clips they showed, really liked all his stuff he has done with: The Communards + Bronski Beat and his solo stuff
+mikey p , he looks really good for a guy in his fifties though, don't you think
not sure what it is, thinking young i recon, i'm 57, my wife is 35 and nobody looks at us weirdly, mind she still looks 20 lol
A True Legendary singer love him till deah in Bronski beat !!!
A great interview with a musical genius! Can you please spell "Homage" correctly?
A decent man
A legend this guy... And sexy !
[ viewing feb 19 2019 ]
counter tenor
full range
Geoff Harrington I always thought he was singing falsetto. Now that makes his voice even more impressive!
The only Jimmy S still welcome at the BBC
Jimmy Sommerville and Rob Halford should make a song together.
She is so smokin man
Jimmy has aged gracefully or maybe he hasn't aged much ,jimmy if you ever read this your an icon for all genders, love you so much,you lovely brave man,❤❤
like that scottish accent
Somerville, with one M!
Thats right! And "Homage" has just one M, too!
@@bobdavis4848 👍
If Phil Mitchell was a camp Hi-NRG singer rather than a gangster.
Jimmy, I always loved you (i'm glad to be a gay man :)
🙏😘👋
Saw them at edinburgh playhouse comunards a matter of opinion
Our surname is only spelt with 1, M, when will people get this right ta much
John Somerville oh...u must be related?
gypsytwigg glitter Yeah, along with all of the other Somervilles on the planet. Jeez, don't be fucking stupid.
Weird hearing his actual speaking voice with his scottishness!!!😮
I would love see Jimmy Somerville and Sam Smith singing together.
Oh god no. Don't contaminate Jimmy with the dreadful Samantha.
Damn he hasn't Aged.
Jim was at the top till, he was photoed kissing his boyfriend in the street never seen him after that.
I did-When Iwould go on holiday to France, Germany, Holland, Sweden, Denmark, etc
As he said he was still working in Europe
Jimmy Sommerville kept his orientation to his privacy, tohimself, he acted pretty normal.
fufufoofoo - are you kidding??? He was/is a HUGE gay rights advocate, one of the very first to be out and proud - never hid who he is, never cowed by gay bashing and homophobia
lol he is normal, and yeah everyone I thought knew what smalltown boy was about, good job we had artists like him because it was a pretty grim time to be gay in the 80s.
Jimmy is the ultimate coolest warrior ! I can't express how much admiration I have for him, he's history and History will tell you so in years...people easily forget the battle after victory or so even when the struggle stills on.
he is like a small child
If i was gay, sitting opposite that bird presenter would turn me straight I'm sure!
aye mate ok
He`s great but I hate those kind of mind-numbing shows.
Thers this group of dominant ppl in each town or city...ther usual str8 conservative and aggressive ..they want to dictate how the rest must live ...
