    The lead singer Camelle Hinds was a pal of mine when we attended Bow School in London. The guitarist in the head gear also attended the school, i think his name is Defoe. Other famous people from our school include Ashley Cole ( footballer ) and Wiley ( rapper ). I wasn't as inspired by the school and became a postman! 😂

    What a superb cover version this is from 1983 from Central Line. It reached the Dizzy heights of number 21 In the UK 🇬🇧 singles chart. It deserved too be at least top ten . I think 🤔 most of the best songs 🎵 fail a top 10 chart position. I'm glad I still have my copy of this classic single .

      No room for variety in this capitalist society, you must just like the same old songs as it is all about control and money these days, not music. That is why you probably haven't heard this song since the 80's.

    I like the way the song becomes more funky and danceable at the end when the synths come in. Until then it has a sort of dreamy feel to it which is very nice as well, but the contrast with the ending is what makes it interesting. (In fact it's also like that at the start as well).

    There was a boy 👦

    And then 1 day (& 1 day)
    A magic 🪄 day he passed my way
    And while we spoke of many things (Many things)
    Fools & kings (Fools & kings)

    This he said to me
    “The greatest thing you, you could ever learn
    Is just to love 💕 and be loved 🥰 in return “
    To be loved 🥰

    To be loved 🥰
    In return

    Is the greatest thing I know (such a wonderful thing of love ❤️)

    Always though the British Soul/Funk music of the late 70's and Early 80's stood out better then the American stuff...maybe it's because we had a tribal youth culture scene called The Soul Boys and don't America had anything like that.

      Heard it many years ago (ook op de Nederlandse radio) without any mention of who sang it. (Re)discovered them last year and found out that Camille Hinds was in this band before playing with the likes of Terence Trent D'Arby. The Toppop-performance of Walking Into Sunshine is a regular on nostalgia channel 192TV's Friday Dance Classics.

      I'm just observing how strange the past can seem viewed from a distance even though at the time it seemed quite normal. I was a teenager in the early 80's and loved the look and sound of the era but it seems quite bizarre from a distance.
