❤🤍💙 God Bless all of our troops and Vets. Special blessings and a thank you to all the Vietnam Vets since this was one song that had a very special meaning to our Troops and those of us growing up back then.
Marmalade are a Scottish pop rock band from the 60's. "Reflections Of My Life" was their biggest hit. They also did a version of the Beatles' song "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" which was very popular. Other songs were "Baby Make It Soon", "Rainbow", "My Little One", "Cousin Norman", "Radancer" etc.
You have great taste sir. I loved this song when it first landed and has remained one one of my top 10 singles ever since. So that’s well over 50 years. Glad you liked it.
If you have a chance do a youtube search for "Reflections of My Life, Dean Ford with Joe Tansin". Dean Ford is the singer of Marmalade and co-wrote this song. He re-recorded it with Joe Tansin (singer and guitarist with a band called Badfinger) 46 years after the original release. Very nice redo. Thanks for your reaction to this video.
Stan, this is such a timeless song that has aged like a fine wine. Please check out this link for the same song sung by an older Dean Ford decades after the original release. This version is simply gorgeous and Dean still sounds amazing but sadly, he passed away sometime after he made this. Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/Dn9bAvWS4RU/v-deo.htmlsi=UrPQnM8VqxmYqygC
Lead singer Dean Ford died in 2018 at age 73. Shortly before his death, he re-recorded this song. Very poignant and gives a whole new meaning when sung by a man of his age. ua-cam.com/video/rGUI9JLO6kk/v-deo.htmlsi=82RBA8ubkBUvN149
Dean Ford, the singer recently passed after re-recording the song. It was like he came full circle recording it as a young man and then as an older man. It was sad to see him record it because the listener knows he is near the end of life. Dean was able to go back to his old home. Rest in peace Dean and thank you for the great music that you and Marmalade provided. 🙏❤️
Yes , I love this song Stan. Another one of theirs that I like a lot is "Loving Things". It is more up tempo, and is a lot of fun to listen to. They also did a great version of "Hey Joe"
Back in the day... no one actually played live on TV... it was rare. This video is probably the same, a lot of shit was piped in. That said, an amazing studio song! You want to hear studio like live, listen to Elvis.
Mi añoranza por estar lejos de mi tierra del lugar donde nací, de muchos seres queridos, y no poder regresar a mi casa es un gran peso que cargamos para toda la vida
I remember riding to the lake when I was about 4 years old and this song playing on the radio in my mom’s car. I am 60 years old and can remember it like it was yesterday.
Memories like that can be really precious can't they? I'm 65 and I remember when my oldest sister bought a new 1968 Chevy Malibu We all piled in and rode around enjoying her new car. Hey Jude came on the radio and even though I was only 9 years old I really loved listening to it. I treasure that memory because of good times with my family and because of that beautiful song Thanks.

This was one of the biggest anthems to the Vietnam Veterans.

Love the vocals ❤ the music was amazing 🔥
I was 16 when this was released in 1969. Loved it then, love it now.
Love this song! Perfect in every way ❤️
The 70s sold more records than any other decade!
Was a much listened to song in Vietnam during the war
Gives me goosebumps.
You are cracking what a man thank you ❤

Dean Ford has it going on.
I think it was a build up from the 60s , peaked in the 70s and 80s and fell apart with todays noise.

Yep, 60’s and 70’s. You can enjoy every type of music and not have a favorite genre.
I would listen to pop, country, rock, folk……. I like what I like.
Electric eclectic. Good choice. Mine too.
This song so powerful.
They have this song as a backdrop of the vietnam war on youtube. Its sad😢. Take me back to my own home; i dont wanna die
Perfection.

#1: 70s; #2: 60s & 80s tied. There is no number 3. Sorry!
Try listening to Eve of Destruction by Barry McGuire. Great anti war song during Vietnam era. Lot of passion in his voice.
