It was 1,974, when I've listenened for the first time. Now in 2,024 brings me memories. Nothing have change in my mind, still in my memory those great times. I love Albert Hamnond's music for ever
For those of us who enjoyed these songs from the 70s, we're all a lot older, but he's still got it! His songs made a lot of big artists even more famous. Thanks for posting this video!
Ich hatte die letzten Tage meine 1.Begegnung mit ihm. Ich kann nur sagen, er ist nicht nur ein Mensch, sein freundliches herzliches Wesen gleicht einem Engel.❤
That is the best live performance of a record that I’ve heard. The backup musicians, flute and strings were right on and of course the voice of Albert. I listen to this over and over again.
I really love this song. I love classics. I've always been searching for this song, now I finally found it and Albert Hammond really age well. I'm his fan since I heard this song. 🙋😍
Love this song by Albert Hammond when it first came out almost 50 years ago, and I still love it. Love the lyrics and the story that was told which is "Don't chase a wild dream".
I don't remember how old I was when I first hear that song, but I wish I was born 10 years earlier, because the music from my generation didn't really sound like they back in the 60's and 70's
I'm 32 and I became his fan recently, the man is out of league! He can sing mexican songs, adapt his voice to spanish vocals, have spanish/english versions of all the songs he wants and still keeps his voice fresh and his youthful but mature attitude. Albert Hammond is an extraordinary artist, I've been listening to all his songs ("Por un poco de tu amor", "Si me amaras", "No te vayas, "Eres toda una mujer", "Comprenderte", "These are the good old days", "The air that I breathe", obviously this song and "The free electric band" are my very favs) and I'm surprised about his sensibility, his poetry, his genius. Great to see him still performing, I'm in love with his talent.
@@benjaminramirez3953 Es "Échame a mi la culpa" compuesta por el gran Ferrusquilla. Albert la canta con mucho sentimiento y la verdad, le perdono que no tenga la voz de mariachi para hacerlo, él es fantástico.
Música deliciosa como a Califórnia, que visitei em 1987/8 com familiares! A música retrata um pouco da alegria que encontramos lá! Saudades! 05/3/2021, Vera Lucia, RJ. BRASIL. ❤💙💚💛🌻🌻🌻🌸🌹🍀🍁🌺🍃🌷
Published on Mar 21, 2013 Albert Hammond has been writing hit songs for over forty years. This is not to just to say that it has been forty years since his first hit. This is to say that there has not been a single decade in which Albert has not written multiple hits songs since he scored his first hit with "Little Arrows" at the age of 24. His songs have been responsible for the sale of over 360 million records worldwide including over 30 chart-topping hits. Many of his most beloved songs, like "The Air That I Breathe" and "When I Need You," have become hits multiple times with various artists, decade after decade. Albert achieved early success as an artist with his song "It Never Rains in Southern California," and he has since built a multi-faceted career as an artist, songwriter and producer in both English-speaking and Latin markets. What sets Albert Hammond apart as a songwriter, earning him induction into the Songwriters' Hall of Fame in 2008, is that Albert doesn't just write hits-he writes classics. He is one of very few songwriters of our time whose songs not only have the mass appeal to make them pop hits, but whose very same songs also have the timelessness and depth that over time turns them into standards. Few writers can successfully walk this line and deliver hits for the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and today. Albert's songs are the kind of songs that turn one-hit wonders into career artists and keep records selling and spinning on radio decades after their first release. Albert's songs have repeatedly topped the international pop, R&B, country, adult contemporary and Latin charts, sometimes simultaneously. Included among these are the #1 hits "When I Need You," "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" (nominated for an Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy), "One Moment in Time," and "To All the Girls I've Loved Before." Anthems like "One Moment in Time," which was written as the theme song for the 1988 Olympic games and won Albert his first Emmy, and "Cantare, Cantaras," the Spanish-market equivalent of "We Are the World," which Albert co-wrote and produced, are just two examples of Albert's ability to create lasting theme songs that live on in our collective consciousness. Albert is a master collaborator, lending his talents on guitar, piano and vocals to some of the business's most successful songwriting teams. He and longtime writing partner Mike Hazlewood co-wrote many of Albert's hits, including the classic "The Air that I Breathe." Albert also co-wrote multiple hits with Diane Warren, among them Chicago's "I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love," Starship's "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," Roy Orbison's "Careless Heart," Joe Cocker's "Don't You Love Me Anymore" and three-time hit "Don't Turn Around," recorded by Ace of Base, Neil Diamond and Aswad. Albert has also written hits with Hal David ("99 Miles from L.A.," "To All the Girls I've Loved Before") and John Bettis ("One Moment in Time," "When You Tell Me That You Love Me," and The Carpenters' hit "I Need To Be In Love"). The artists who have recorded Albert's songs are undoubtedly some of the greatest of our time-including Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Elton John, Joe Cocker, Diana Ross, Johnny Cash, K.D. Lang, Julio Iglesias and Josh Groban, to name just a few. In 2008, Albert was inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame and has also received the OBE (Order of the British Empire) from Queen Elizabeth II. His home country of Gibraltar will be honoring Albert with a commemorative postage stamp series which will feature his image and highlight his biggest international hits.
SGG, bet you didn't know all of the information Michael Caliri shared with us. Albert Hammond was probably far more talented than many of us knew just from his 70s songs. Thanks for sharing Michael Caliri!

UncleEarly97 I found this song a couple months ago, It is the best one!!!!
I was born in ‘95 and love this song. They don’t make music like they used to, so I just spent a paycheck on Eagles Farewell Tour tickets 😅
This makes me smile. It’s wonderful to see so many happy people.
Albert Hammond may be old now, but he still has it! What a dude, love his guitar and his vocals, my utmost respect and admiration for him! :D
Heck,I’m 66 and I want to dance, what a great song. Great memories when it came out.
And still singing it in the original key.
Ich hatte die letzten Tage meine 1.Begegnung mit ihm. Ich kann nur sagen, er ist nicht nur ein Mensch, sein freundliches herzliches Wesen gleicht einem Engel.❤
He sounds better than ever! His voice has taken on a gravelly warmth that comes from years of experience.
Yes, this version is the same as another video made to remember today which is still in force as an artist / singer....
You must be joking

Right
Tolle Zeit und tolle Lieder in den 70iger.
Ich bin froh die Zeit erleben zu dürfen.
One of the best live versions of this Song. I grew up listening to this and am glad I saw this version.
I was a young kid in the 70s. I used to hear this song on the radio, now I’m listening to it in 2020.
This song totally mellows me out and make me think of the last conversation I had with my Mom .
That brings back the 70's Albert still looks & sound great.
i never thought he still sings,that is a beautiful song,its been a while,,,thank you...
Albert Hammond has still got it. He sounds fantastic and he looks like he's having a good time.
That is the best live performance of a record that I’ve heard. The backup musicians, flute and strings were right on and of course the voice of Albert. I listen to this over and over again.
Yes, sounds amazing! - And all that with not a single microphone (except his)......
And me...
toll, daß so ein großer musiker immer noch live für uns spielt: thank you!!!
I got to see Albert play in Dublin a couple of years ago and it was every bit as brilliant as I expected. To see him play this live is a real treat!,
I really love this song. I love classics. I've always been searching for this song, now I finally found it and Albert Hammond really age well. I'm his fan since I heard this song. 🙋😍
Wow, he’s still around. This song still has a major impact. Love it
This song reminds of all those years from my history, thank you, as a old man...
He look great, his voice amazing ❤️
The most amazing thing is his songwriting. If you heard anything int he 1980s, you probably heard his work.
Still looks and sounds incredible! Such kind eyes and smile. Beautiful video!
Always loved this song, and glad I stumbled upon this.
His voice still sounds great!
Un 10 și ptr instrumentiști!
It's like his voice never changed! Thank you for this wonderful masterpiece, Albert Hammond! ❤️
Love this song by Albert Hammond when it first came out almost 50 years ago, and I still love it. Love the lyrics and the story that was told which is "Don't chase a wild dream".
The regret that follows not chasing your dream is worse than the realization that you did and it didn’t work out.
After all these years, Im so in love with this song because this man delivers jt as a personal story
it's crazy but it sounds better nowadays ...
That Music will last forever!
OMG, so amazing!! His voice is still there!!
Amazing performance! He gave us some of the very best songs ever
I don't remember how old I was when I first hear that song, but I wish I was born 10 years earlier, because the music from my generation didn't really sound like they back in the 60's and 70's
The guys sounds fantastic!
Que hermosa version de un clasico de los 70´s, viva Albert Hammond
Oh, this song brings back such memories. Albert Hammond is still incredible! Love this!
I REMEMBER AS A VERY YOUNG MAN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ALONE HEARING THIS SONG ON THE RADIO. I LOVED IT
Just as wonderful as when I first heard it in the 70 ‘s what a great entertainer
Still good after all these years , timeless!
Good to hear to still Albert. You bring back such a great memory. Thank you from Budapest.
