I’m 72 years old and I was a teenager and this was played on my radio in the the 70s. I retired from the Marine Corps in 2000 after a 30 year career. This makes me feel like a teenager all over again.👍🇺🇸 Great song!!!!
My teenage times! The music was real, the singers were artists, the musicians were real skilled performers. I loved your songs, Jeff Christie. This is unforgettable time.
That was the early 70's when I was a grade 10 in the oeient and move to Texas in 73. You guess it I am an old man. Music stays the same, gone was the time. Thank you for the videos . Back then there were music videos. Grandfather of MTV. Thank you for sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍
1970, along with 20 classmates travelling on a train bound for Frankfurt, this song improved our English overnight, as we sang this over and over about 100 times. I'll never forget that.
I am 66 now. Living in Cebu city.Phillipines. This song reminds me back to 1979...when I was working in Hskl.Dpt...Dhaka Sheraton ..and "Miles"....group were playing in "Chameli" restaurant....Oh..those ..golden..happy ..days...
Piękne słowa muzyka którą pokochałem dzięki wujkowi na płytach lagowych też czerwone gitary i smokie the Beatles ale Christie i piosenka San bernardino to całkowity szal🎸
Love this song each time I hear it and it never gets old! Transports me back 45 years in a blink of a teary eye. Definitely in my all time top 10! THANK YOU CHRISTIE!
I spent the ''summer of '70 all over....best song a I heard whilst traveling ...then back to the states for last year of high school form...turned 18 ... fell in love...best year of my whole life...thanx... Auburn,NY 🌏☮AND💜✝.
I was 13 years old when this came out and it is STILL one of my favourites. A song about a civil war (some say Vietnam) American soldier who has served his military time and now can go home. A timeless subject. Great lyrics , musical presentation. Home - family, friends, peace & quiet. What a song!
@@АлександрИльин-д8ч The inspiration for the song came from the American civil war and a soldier going home after it had ended. But I see your point, it could be applied to any war or nationality.
Amazing sound from just 3 musicians.Shows you that if it is good an authentic you don't need special effects and electronics to be able to make good music.Just pure raw talent.
It was actually recorded by The Tremeloes, with Jeff Christie's lead vocal added afterwards. None of the people in the video played an instrument on the recording.
You poor innocent dope! Read up on the story before making idiot posts like this. The musicians on the backing track are the Tremeloes, and only Jeff Christie singing after the tremeloes decided not to release it with their singer on it. There is also piano which must have been an overdub if not an extra session musician. They gave it to the drummer's brother to release and a band was created around him and Jeff the songwriter and singer to mime on the TV and in the video. That's why they took Jeff's surname for the band! Only their less successful followups were recorded by the band you see in the pictures
I just added this song to a post on my Substack. It still sounds great today: ) " I spent a lot of my early years in my bedroom listening to music or grabbing a hairbrush and singing to one of the latest chart songs in front of my mirror. On that note, I will always remember my grandmother walking in on me bouncing up and down on my bed, hairbrush in hand, belting out Yellow River by the band Christie. Now that was a sight to behold!"
Hi Marco, Thanks for your message and good wishes. I loved playing in Brasil at the dawn of the '70's and especially loved the music,people, culture, black beans, Mangera, Rosemary,Caetano Veloso, Sergio Mendes, Roberto Carlos, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Astrud Gilberto, Gilberto Gil to name a few. I shall return! Saudade do Brasil! Jeff
Jeff, you wrote this for The Tremeloes who recorded but later rejected it. You took it and recorded over The Tremeloes version and made it a smash it. What a classic tune you wrote.
Yellow River - песня из моего далекого детства!!!Обожаю этих ребят и их творчество!!! Очень жаль,что те времена и такая музыка уже заняли свои места на полках архива... Порой этого "коктейля" не хватает ,как глотка воздуха....Спасибо Вам.
Genau so siehts aus.Ich fand den Song auch Spitze,und mußte dabei immer an ein bestimmtes Mädchen denken.Später habe ich sie gefragt,ob sie mich heiratet.L.G.

I was born in 70 but thanks to my dad this song was a huge part of my childhood. I've bought the Jeff Christie/outer limits solo album and it's fantastic. Thanks for the music Jeff Christie ✌
I'm glad you like it. This was a time when people still believed that peace and love could triumph over fear and hatred. It's up to your generation to bring those days back.
Makes me miss all my loved ones that are gone now so much, I was six when they were all dancing to this. The juke box had six records on it and this was one of them ❤ XXX best days of our lives xxxx
Takes me back to the 70's when everything was so different from now London ain't the same place that i grew up in its changed beyond belief well sad when i think about it what has happened to the place don't hear any parties or music coming out of windows anymore and thats called progression take me back
I remember when this song got alot of airplay back in the summer of 1970. When I watch you Jeff Christie, singing in the woodsy area, I get a feeling all over again of what it felt like at the time. I miss that era terribly.
Play...play...replay...never tire of this...I was six when this came out in 1970 and my brother walked home with the Epic yellow label 45 of THIS...played on our tube powered RCA console stereo it had such a presence...
Acho que hoje vou morrer de emoção!!!! Que saudades destes tempos!!!! Só hoje pude conferir um video de Yellow River . Voltei ao passado as roupas, os cabelos.... nooooooooossa como passou rápido o tempo.... que saudades.... Obrigado pelo video.
The last few days, late December 2023, I've had this song in my head. Yellow River was on 630 CHED, the rock station here in Edmonton Alberta Canada when I was young. Great, great song !! 👌👍
This song moves me inside. I don't know what's the reason, but you definetively feel something each time listening to it. This makes me remember simplier and happier times. God, why life has got to take us here?
I'm 16 years old, I listen to a huge number of songs of those years, thanks to my dad for showing me the world of good music, it's a pity that now they don't try so hard when creating music ...
The band you see in this video was Jeff Christie's touring band. The band you hear is actually The Tremeloes. The Tremeloes recorded this song with a view to releasing it as a single. However they reconsidered as they were changing direction. Jeff Christie had written the song so he took the backing track from the Tremeloes and recorded his own vocals over the top. He very deservedly had a hit with it. The Tremeloes still play this song in concert.
Been there,done that--'Nam '69. This was one of those songs that helped me forget THOSE times. Great foot tappin' song! Thanks for the memories,man,God bless you.
Man does this bring me back...I haven't heard this in years!! Yellow River is anywhere you want it to be. The only place you wanted to be when you were in country..Awesome!!!
It takes me back in Algiers when I was kid, a fellow student went on stage to play and sing the song perfectly. And we are some over 50 years now I live near Manchester. My favourite city is Leeds where Christie is from
reminds me of the saturday night parties my late parents had martini and cheese and pineapple on sticks plus lots of cheesey dance tunes god i miss my parents songs like this make me wish i could turn the clock back just for one day maybe xx
Jeff, howdy! Gee, what a cool song this is. Just for you, Jeff, to know, it took Brazil over back then. It was an anthem, mandatory in parties, a lullaby song for so many teen romance all over the country. Thank you, buddy. It brought me some good memories. Cheers! Marco
Dear Jeff, I discovered "Yellow River" earlier this year on a Swedish retro station at the age 37. It is one of the best pop songs I have ever heard. I conveyed my adoration of the song to my Dad, and he told me that it was a big favourite of his when he was a student in Leeds in 1970. Thank you for the music! Steve
Wow just rediscovered this again! Happy memories. And with the original drummer Mick Blakley. I reheard this the other day, and just like before I cant stop singing it to myself like before!
I was only 2 and half years old in the summer of 1970. Maybe they played this song very often in the following summers as well. But I remember very well, and still love so much, this song.
I was very very young when this song was played on the radio, nonetheless, clicking around today on UA-cam has brought it back to me as a most unexpected and sweet treat ! What a great video you have posted here, too. Thank you for the music & the memories ! As I said, I was only 3 when this was "current," but my radio was my best friend & this happy tune was always a favorite when it would play. I hope you are doing well these days, Sir Jeff ! I have only listened to this about 7 times now !
This is the correct speed I remember when it first came on the radio. I do remember my band The Sunshine Band playing it a bit slower now in Corpus Christi,Texas.Thanks Jeff for the memories!
What I loved that song! And now I am older, and I love that song much more. These times were great! I miss them so! And especially Christie. I miss the 70... and the great music, for example "Yellow River" Boys, I love you and your great music! I really miss you!
I am a goi. 53 years old... from circuncised heart.. When i was a teenager i heart this nice song many times and i did not know the name of the group nor the name of the song.. ..but i only heart this one....after a lot of many years i remmered this song.. and so.... really i have never thought to find :( remmember) this short but awesome song in all my life..and.. I am a teenger again with this shy song.. That is incredible ..Toda raba youtube!! Made my day. Shalom YittzjadJehudi. My english is not fluently. but i learn fast.. and indeed/real I do not understand the letter yet.
Still awesome and evocative after all these decades. Great stuff tends to stay great, and I'd love to play this song sometime at a live gig. Five stars all the way.
This may be the biggest hit yet the LP/CD Christie is well written and worthy of any music fans collection.I ended up buying this on vinyl 2 years ago and still enjoy it.
Boas lembranças tenho dessa época ,meu falecido irmão tinha uma banda de rock ele tocava muito essa música ,era um grande sucesso da época,bons tempos.
This was part of the soundtrack for my honeymoon in late 1970. Due to a dispute between recorded companies and radio stations, only a few imported recorded were being played, and played they were. This was one. It has memories for me...
Grew up listening as a little girl reminds me of summertime float trips with friends along the Illinois River, lots of tippy canoes 🛶 water moccasin snakes, sunburns & fun times. The band along the hwy at the end looks like they’re hitchhiking & running towards their ride, sweet memories of days long past!! ☀️☀️☀️
I’m 72 years old and I was a teenager and this was played on my radio in the the 70s. I retired from the Marine Corps in 2000 after a 30 year career. This makes me feel like a teenager all over again.👍🇺🇸 Great song!!!!

My teenage times! The music was real, the singers were artists, the musicians were real skilled performers. I loved your songs, Jeff Christie. This is unforgettable time.
Memories like these make our life worth living
And musicians could be stars despite being mediocre-looking.
Ага. Только я путаю с йеллоу сабмарин
72 years old and still sounds like it did in the 70s.
What a great melodic song, liking it more in 2023 than 1970!!
Well lm listening in 2024, it was come to my mind ❤
I am 77 and still love the song

Some say the old school joke about imaginary author "I.P. Daily" or "I.P. Freely" was based on this.
The sound of my life, who else is listening to Christie in 2022 ?
I still have the ALBUM. No record player,

Eu aqui no Brazil.

В России слушают .
Большой привет.
1970, along with 20 classmates travelling on a train bound for Frankfurt, this song improved our English overnight, as we sang this over and over about 100 times. I'll never forget that.

Amazing how music, and catchy music at that, transends any language. This is why we all speak the same language! :)

When people talk about a "catchy" song, they refer to a song like this.
Brilliant simplicity.
1970, high school, girls and music that will never be seen again. This song moves me. I think it’s just how well the melody is written.
1970 was a great year for music.
I am 68 years old, this song is one of my favourites and it will ever be, so actual in our difficult time!

Magnificent Masterpiece from Master Musicians, a favorite for over 50 years
Audio quality is top notch! This is one of the first 45s I ever bought with my own allowance money, and it was worth every penny I saved.
I was 13 years old when this came out and it is STILL one of my favourites. A song about a civil war (some say Vietnam) American soldier who has served his military time and now can go home. A timeless subject. Great lyrics , musical presentation. Home - family, friends, peace & quiet. What a song!
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Why "american" soldier?
@@АлександрИльин-д8ч The inspiration for the song came from the American civil war and a soldier going home after it had ended. But I see your point, it could be applied to any war or nationality.
Written by an American...
Sung by an American group..... I guess it's about a Japanese soldier
@@homeelectricco they were a British group, but they did quite a few US-themed songs

Hi Marco,
Thanks for your message and good wishes.
I loved playing in Brasil at the dawn of the '70's and especially loved the music,people, culture, black beans, Mangera, Rosemary,Caetano Veloso, Sergio Mendes, Roberto Carlos, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Astrud Gilberto, Gilberto Gil to name a few.
I shall return!
Saudade do Brasil!

Jeff Christie you the best!
Did you ever play at Eel Pie Island when they used to have gigs there in the late sixties?
Yellow River - so unforgettable - Thanks Jeff - Can never forget it
Eu estava no Círculo Militar quando você se apresentou em 70 em São Paulo Brasil.
Jeff, you wrote this for The Tremeloes who recorded but later rejected it. You took it and recorded over The Tremeloes version and made it a smash it.
What a classic tune you wrote.
Thanks for posting on here. This is one of those songs you will never hear on a classic rock station and I don’t know why.
Gerade heute am SWR4 habe uch die lied gehört, und ich habe gedacht an meine Jugend Zeit

So long boy, you can take my place
Got my papers, I got my pay
So pack my bags and I'll be on my way
To Yellow River
Put my gun down, the war is won
Fill my glass high, the time has come
I'm goin' back to the place that I love
Yellow River
Yellow River, Yellow River
Is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow River, Yellow River
Is in my blood, it's the place I love
Got no time for explanations
Got no time to lose
Tomorrow night you'll find me sleepin'
Underneath the moon
At Yellow River
Cannon fire lingers in my mind
I'm so glad I'm still alive
And I've been gone for such a long time
From Yellow River
I remember the nights were cool
I can still see the water pool
And I remember the girl that I knew
From Yellow River
Yellow River, Yellow River
Is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow River, Yellow River
Is in my blood, it's the place I love
Got no time for explanations
Got no time to lose
Tomorrow night you'll find me sleepin'
Underneath the moon
At Yellow River
Yellow River, Yellow River
Is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow River, Yellow River
Is in my blood, it's the place I love

Wow just rediscovered this again! Happy memories. And with the original drummer Mick Blakley. I reheard this the other day, and just like before I cant stop singing it to myself like before!
Brings back such great memories of a bye gone era....... Where did the time go???
Much love from New Zealand!!!!

Time goes to the same place it has always gone, and no one knows where that is : )
1972-ben hallottam először, azóta is imádom: sárga folyó crysty
I was only 2 and half years old in the summer of 1970. Maybe they played this song very often in the following summers as well. But I remember very well, and still love so much, this song.
I still love it 54 years later....
I was very very young when this song was played on the radio, nonetheless, clicking around today on UA-cam has brought it back to me as a most unexpected and sweet treat ! What a great video you have posted here, too. Thank you for the music & the memories ! As I said, I was only 3 when this was "current," but my radio was my best friend & this happy tune was always a favorite when it would play. I hope you are doing well these days, Sir Jeff ! I have only listened to this about 7 times now !
Every time I hear this song it makes me feel light hearted and want to get down to dance 💃 thank you for the music ❤
Сегодня почему то захотелось послушать эту песню....... Приятная и запоминающаяся мелодия.
А для нас -из 70-х, эта песня была про толстого карлсона))))
Есть и русский текст, близкий к оригиналу:

Да уж, это Вам не Карлсон тупой
haven't heard this since.....
and i missed it a lot!
This is the correct speed I remember when it first came on the radio. I do remember my band The Sunshine Band playing it a bit slower now in Corpus Christi,Texas.Thanks Jeff for the memories!
What I loved that song! And now I am older, and I love that song much more. These times were great! I miss them so! And especially Christie. I miss the 70... and the great music, for example "Yellow River" Boys, I love you and your great music! I really miss you!

My english is not fluently. but i learn fast.. and indeed/real I do not understand the letter yet.
you did not know the name of the song? the mention it 300 times in the song....😛
懐かしい〜青春時代の最高に好きな曲です‼️今でも、オールディズ曲に入っていて聞きますよー
Still awesome and evocative after all these decades. Great stuff tends to stay great, and I'd love to play this song sometime at a live gig. Five stars all the way.
I want to visit that famous yellow river, it seems to be a nice place.
Nice music...greetings from Costa Rica!.
This may be the biggest hit yet the LP/CD Christie is well written and worthy of any
music fans collection.I ended up buying this on vinyl 2 years ago and still enjoy it.
Rio Amarelo is a song that makes up for the sad hours of life. I never got tired of listening to it. It was part of my youth. Thanks a lot Jeff.
One of my favourite songs from the 70s played in every shows or weddings 👌
My mum listened to 70's music so when we were driving home from a trip we used to listen this in the car. One of my favourites with sweet funny funny.
A Great Song from a Great Man. Thank you Jeff.
Whst a happy tune. This was a huge part of my early childhood good memories 😊thank's for uploading this famous 70's pearl ❤
Mine too
Boas lembranças tenho dessa época ,meu falecido irmão tinha uma banda de rock ele tocava muito essa música ,era um grande sucesso da época,bons tempos.
Love this song and the voices of this great band.
Man I haven't heard this in what --30+ years!? And I still remember some of the lyrics! It was a favorite of mine on the AM radio as a kid.
Great song. Great video.💙💚💖
Vuelvo a mi adolescencia allá por los 70' y es una nostalgia increíble y de saber que no habrá vuelta atrás !
❤ a mí me pasó lo mismo!
Recuerdo la época de kermes en el colegio! 😊y el deseo de bailar con el chico que me gustaba 😂😂 mis 14- años
This was part of the soundtrack for my honeymoon in late 1970. Due to a dispute between recorded companies and radio stations, only a few imported recorded were being played, and played they were. This was one.
It has memories for me...
wonderful band,beautiful clip, long live rock,long live Christie.
Obrigado,Jeff Christie,for uploading the video with clean sound(maybe taken from a CD).
Спасибо большое за ваши прекрасные песни.
Grew up listening as a little girl reminds me of summertime float trips with friends along the Illinois River, lots of tippy canoes 🛶 water moccasin snakes, sunburns & fun times. The band along the hwy at the end looks like they’re hitchhiking & running towards their ride, sweet memories of days long past!! ☀️☀️☀️
