The very talented and lovely Jimmy, singing one of my favourites of his songs. Once I was one of those lonely boys, who left my small narrow minded, home town to get away, to start a new life.
Takes you back to the 80’s, a place where most of the best music groups & individuals lived…. You were either there, or you weren’t. If you weren’t, you don’t know what you missed……
@@fox5224 You are right, great music is still made, but what it isn’t is made with the same throughput of quality that it was. Take a look at lots of adverts, they are using 80’s backing music, in the 2020’s. That’s forty years ago. That wasn’t the case in the 80’s. There 2as so much good quality in the 80’s that if you like music, you’d be hard pressed to have one genre you liked.
@@markdaniels2200mate I promise you the 80s was full of shit music, and a lot of popular songs from the 80s to now are still blues reimagined. I understand it’s easy to think 1 generation of music is better but you have to realise the songs are made for what people are facing today
I am 55 years old... started listening to music in 1975 when I was 8... fell in love with The Stylistics I Can't Give You Anything... Smalltown Boy is my favorite of all times...
I was only 14 when this was released. I am not gay, but this song has a special place in my memories growing up. I just can't imagine this song meaning anything to young people as it's 40 years old. They listen to mostly crap now.
He still sounds AND looks great! I'm a 72 year old Gay man! I used to dance my ass off "back in the day". Don't think anyone wants to see ke do that now! 💙
DAMN SAM! He STILL HITS those NOTES! WOW! He is just AWESOME! Hear me Jimmy... YOU are AWESOME! I played this song for my 14 yr old gay/bi Grandson and it's become his FAV SONG! Thanks for telling it like it is/was and for inspiring other LBGTQ+ People and especially kids struggling with it like you did! THIS is what GREAT MUSIC IS!
I am ego ime in greek Antoniou Fani from Greece Elada I sent my love agapi to Jimmy and to all of you ke se olus sas I sent hope elpida for gia Peace Irini to all se olo ton world cosmos
I was lucky to see and hear him sing at subway city in Birmingham over 20 year ago mabye longer uk, he's aged extremely well and the voice is still fantastic
Incredible sound so much time has passed but he sounds the same FANTASTIC They all sat so still just clapping is beyond me!!!I wouldn't have been able to keep still 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Pure magic ! A living music legend ! In 1984 the song and Jimmy picked you up ! Today the same ! Jimmy a very big compliment ! Not only for this song ! You are music ! Thank you
Ich wohne in der Nähe vom Fernsegarten und hatte nicht mitbekommen dass Jimmy dort auftritt. Sehr schade! Klasse Stimme! Der Bart und Glatze steht im ausgezeichnet! Smart!
Mor hermoso lo mismo tu música cariño me encanta todo ese bello sentimiento q transmites con ella gracias x compartir abrazito pa ti aralla mor medellin❤
Beautiful voice & soul. One of the major tunes of the XXth century mixing soul disco new age, brilliant lyrics as well. But 😮😮 is it a retirement home audience, innit?
OMGOSH Jimmy!! You're still so so good! I miss those days, darn, we're getting old. I still remember you visiting the Punk club I always went to in Amsterdam and we shared a dance hahahaha. Good to see you again. :)
Amigo tu voz y.tu música un bálsamo para los oídos y el alma me alegra mucho verte en nuevos videos que estás tan bien y vigente como en nuestros ochentas te felicito y te aprecio mucho
I am German , i am embarrassed by that crowd, i would take my girl and let it rock there !!! .... ooohh and love this live version, Jimmy has his voice under total control !! ALWAYS!!
This was an amazing but chilling hit song from Jimmy Summerville with his reconisible voice, that something deeper meaning about life maybe fear , people run away from situations and problems in their lives , it's impact on people may 😮feel inside, wanting to jump on a train going anywhere not to return or seen again, feel at an end of themselves or looking for a fresh start John 3v16 may you find peace

The very talented and lovely Jimmy, singing one of my favourites of his songs. Once I was one of those lonely boys, who left my small narrow minded, home town to get away, to start a new life.
Hope it turned out great for you . Live and let live .
If they don’t like us they can F off we are only human
As I posted earlier...I needed to get away and not for the reason Jimmy did, but nevertheless it very much resonates
God bless Jimmy 🙌 🙏 ❤️
Hope things are good for you now Allan. I too had to leave home. Life hasn't been bad. Take care
❤
As a young teen I never appreciated just how good his voice is. Now pushing 50 I can't say how many times I've watched this. Sounds perfect
The same happens yo me. I,ve noticed the perfection of his voice many years later
Minäkin olen 50v tervetuloa kerhoon.
ONE of the defining tracks of the 80s
This song saved me! This man is a living LEGEND!!
Big love bro💪🫡🫶🇬🇧
Gets better and better with age
Takes you back to the 80’s, a place where most of the best music groups & individuals lived…. You were either there, or you weren’t. If you weren’t, you don’t know what you missed……
So true!
@@terrysmith2117 And Funny How It Seems….. 😂👍
Great music is still made, you only think the 80s were better because you weren’t old yet

One of the best iconic club jams soooo good ❤🎉
Back to the 80th-always a great song-also 2023 !
I am 55 years old... started listening to music in 1975 when I was 8... fell in love with The Stylistics I Can't Give You Anything... Smalltown Boy is my favorite of all times...

Haunting song , the 80s there was no internet or social media just a house phone and a tv
I was only 14 when this was released. I am not gay, but this song has a special place in my memories growing up. I just can't imagine this song meaning anything to young people as it's 40 years old. They listen to mostly crap now.
Amazing voice and song
Such a great talent, this song never gets old and still as relevant today.
An absolute gift to humanity….TO YOUR SOUL…TO YOUR SOUL..❤❤❤…much love and respect from Ukiah, California, USA….Planet Earth…🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️

Unforgettable, voice unique, a little hoarse for the occasion! Bravo!
Why the clapping? Just enjoy the song, it’s an amzing song
ZDF Fernsehgarten is normally a show for german schlager music. And germans love to clap for this music.
He still got it ❤️ one of my fave tracks this 🥰
that's amazing Jimmy 👏
I remember blasting this in my bedroom, singing my head off.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Same here 😂😂
Me too! Precious memories. 😊
I'm a heavy metal/hard rock thing. But when it's that good I'm just a music lover. And it's that good Jimmy, you're a beast.
When you are that good, the genre doesn't matter.
in an alternate universe rob halford and jimmy is doing a duet on the song diamonds and rust
Amazing vocal
Incredible sound so much time has passed but he sounds the same FANTASTIC
They all sat so still just clapping is beyond me!!!I wouldn't have been able to keep still 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

He must thank his lucky stars every day for this song!
Was that the Reverend Richard Coles on the Keyboard!?...😉🎹😊
Beautiful voice & soul. One of the major tunes of the XXth century mixing soul disco new age, brilliant lyrics as well. But 😮😮 is it a retirement home audience, innit?
🎵 "Jimmy still hits them high ones..."🎤🎶
Wicked vocals, not many that can still sound so good 🙏🙏
