This was filmed only a year after the band formed. Kelvin was, I think, about 18 years old. He had just been hired to be the Gang of Four's drummer but then Hugo came back from a theater tour and Kelvin, who had turned down a different gig to join the Gang of Four, was out. Then he got the Delta 5 invite and was hired without an audition! A year later they were on their first American tour. The first stop was here. All things considered, they were a dam tight band already.
So I watched this recent commercial (AT&T) and heard “THIS” song, wrote down mind your own business and hit iTunes.. Wa-la, there it was.. So I ended up buying “Singles and Sessions 1979-1981. 16 tracks. It’s fantastic.. Love this video.
If you have a chance, check out streaming this full concert here - artclips.free.fr/PRIVATE-STREAMINGS.html The whole set is incredible and there is wonderful commentary by the recently passed drummer, Kelvin Knight. They really had a unique style, every person adds something, and since their music was not "overexposed" it is like hearing it fresh.
@@DavidRavenMoon I’ll ask my parents if they ever saw you guys; my mom used to go there a lot. A family friend of ours was in the Pentonix and The Catholic Girls.
Saw Delta 5 on the same line up as Pere Ubu and the Gang of Four in Derby in 1981. One of the three on their own would have been enough for me; all three was stunning.
54 thumbs down? WTF is wrong with these people...Delta 5, one of the great punk funk combos, everything they done was super groovy!...The LP 'See the Whirl' is better than it's given credit for, listen to it again.
I'm 54, but my partner (a muscian & dj) put me on to this song several yrs ago. Watching "Man who fell to earth" reminded me - sounded so good! Then, Roe vs Wade fell June 24 2022 in the US. Blasted this, danced, cried, sweated and ready to vote blue & help the young women who will need this kind of empowerment and inspiration to regain their freedom. I hope this song rings from the rooftops & rallies all over America! Thank you so much for sharing this video
As you miay have noticed, I featured footage I shot back in the early 80ies at a pro-choice women's right rally which is featured in the little mini movie on the left. So sad to see the marching was for nothing.
I wouldn't have discovered this song, this band, if it wasn't for the new Showtime series, "The Man Who Fell to Earth", episode 6, 31:38min. When I heard that bassline and the drum kit, when the monotone vocals came in with the stabbingly simplistic, yet borderline grungy lyrics...I immediately stopped the video to find out more about the song. Funky with a Punk flare...Brilliantly Mesmerizing.

I was lucky enough to see them perform in L.A. in '81?? Gary Calamar brought them over from England for the first time! Railroad Productions....at the Cathay De Grand! Mary Emerzian
So funny - the only reason I am watching this is because of the apple commercial about privacy in 2021 - a full 41 years after this was recorded, right before they broke up at the end of 1980.
amazing band. i have always loved strange/cult music bands, but when i listened to their strange/cult funk-punk riffs , i just was amazed. Along with Au Pair, Girls At Our Best and Gang of Four, of course, constitute the amazing and different music I still want to listen to. We will always love you guys....
and now Apple marketing runs away with this tune from my uni student days. Who would have thought that! I can still smell the basement dance floor 😉 --- ohhh, and I still have the single
Miss them so much. They were young when we were young. RIP, Jule. If only their promoter had gotten them onto SNL at the time. They were perfect for late night Saturday TV circa 1979-80. Would have launched them a lot higher.
Just got here from watching Squad Goals (BBC's behind the scenes look at womens football) last series was about West Ham in the WSL. all Professionals.. but this one is Non lge Dorking. All the players have FTJobs and Calum Best is also there 🤷♂️ for some reason.
could this be any more fucking glorious!? these riffs remind me of some dirty shadowy men from a shadowy planet! fire! NO... MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!!!!
Yeah not bad for less than £3 !....bands used to expect to lose money touring but 'pick up fans' who would often buy the records( & othen stick with the bands during lean times to keep things ticking over). Now it's the 'live performances' that make the money...I might just be an old git ,but when I see £200 + for a 'name performer' & for an extra £150 you can 'shake hands & have a photo with your favourites' I kind of feel a lot has been lost in the Artist-Audience relationship/Balance
Yes, all three bands played at Hurrah and I filmed all but Pere Ubu, to my regret! That was kind of what set a fire under me to start filming all the performances, missing Pere Ubu.
@@VJ1tv ... Correct. "Delta 5" was formed from the same Leeds University art school scene in West Yorkshire, England as "Gang of Four" and "The Mekons". # Good Ear !
The full screen performance visuals are on the screen right in full size. The visuals on the left are a mix that includes a lot of the original visuals I used to project when the dj played their singles in the club where I filmed this performance. My job in the club was making live improvised music videoas to project when the dj spinned the music. I was the first video jockey, making up the term for my first paycheck. So I hope this helps you to appreciate the visuals a bit more, and if not, you could hold your hand over the left side of the screen and pretend they're not there. If that still doesn't work, you can MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!
Such a great song!, which is why it was satisfying to put it on a playlist of over 300 songs by female vocalists I recently made for all the fury and frustration we are having right now: : ua-cam.com/play/PLtTpAIqD_OG8n9Tl5ufEMsxC-w1hBKAho.html Let me know if you know of another song that should be included!
If you listen to the opening of this clip, you will hear the lead singer say "This is BUSINESS". It is what they called it. Bands often have nicknames for their own songs. This is from a film of their full concert set if you are interested. There is a link in the description.
My old school mate Kelvin on drums. Sadly passed away a few years ago. There you go pal....on the bloody tv again!!!
Legendary 🙏🏼 RIP Kelvin 🙌🏼❤️
At&t commercial playing all the time. Great drumming
Sorry to hear about your old school mate

Liar
Genius bass riff.
It sounds a lot like the riff in the Slits cover of Marvin Gaye's "I heard it... "
Yes, I been thinking about maybe the lyrics might be a bout? Bullying! X( from parents lol x
My god. With the audience shouting "NO!"
Incredible.
Goosebumps
Extraordinary. Massively underrated band.

Buy the video too, if you want to experience Delta 5 at their very best!
Same thing happened to me. I heard it and was jamming to it only to find out it was Apples privacy commercial!! Lol
Saw them back in 1980 at the Dirt in Bloomfield, NJ. Such a great show.
Small world!!! I was born in Bloomfield. Family relocated to AZ in ‘96 tho. You probably know my family to be honest!!
I’m sure I did too... I just can’t remember
In case anyone reading went to the Dirt, my band was the Jetsonz. 😃

📻🎶🎸🥁🎛🎤🎧WOW! 40 years ago i haven't heard "DELTA 5" when i was a child👦🏼🎶🎸🎸🎸. Very good PUNK MUSIC 💕🎸💖🎸💖.

This is one of the dopest songs /videos I’ve ever seen in my four decades of life .:. !!!
Holy crap I was at that show... and another at the Pep, I think maybe the following year. Hurrah! was a good club.
Kelvin Knight lives on whenever this song is played 💖💖💖💖

Me too ;)
Me toi😆🤗😎💋💯🥳🧁
Great great song though
Lol same here, had no idea this some was this old
Gang of Delta 4
Still badass in 2021 :) Excellent work.
This shit is fuckin amazing
There's always something worth learning. I'm as old as this song and just found out.
Still kicks azz.. timeless
great!
Top turn.
Who doesn't like a band with double female lead singers ? .. . Great band that never got their due ...
have you heard the new car commercial with this song in it? I think they are finally getting their due!
Yea, that's where I came from in the first place.
...and double female BASS players to boot ! ..YES !... # Funky town ♡♡
This songs sucks 😂😂😂😂
Me
Verrrry good advise....
こんな前のバンドって知らなかった！
今聞いても新しい音！
カッコイイ！
Baselines from the post-punk era such as these, should be listed as 'world cultural heritage'
Still got my old 45 rpm record from ‘80. 👍
So good !!
amazing band. i have always loved strange/cult music bands, but when i listened to their strange/cult funk-punk riffs , i just was amazed. Along with Au Pair, Girls At Our Best and Gang of Four, of course, constitute the amazing and different music I still want to listen to. We will always love you guys....
I'm glad someone mentioned GAOB -, whenever I say " you remember them, 'Nowhere Fast, Politics " , I get a "er..no"
Don't forget Pylon!
The day I was born - amazing
Oh Bethan, I used to melt when you walked into The Faversham Pub. One of the best shit bass lines ever !
and now Apple marketing runs away with this tune from my uni student days. Who would have thought that! I can still smell the basement dance floor 😉 --- ohhh, and I still have the single
I still have the single too. Just now finding out it’s become an international hit!
I love this joint
🍦🍦2021!
This is so good!
FUN FACT: Delta 5 opened up for The Thompson Twins and ☆U2☆ in early 1981 at The Lyceum Theatre in central London.
I love this band, and I love this particular song! I know, I know... I should mind my own business
Wow I had totally forgotten about this song and group really. Thanks apple for this recall from the early 80s
Miss them so much. They were young when we were young. RIP, Jule. If only their promoter had gotten them onto SNL at the time. They were perfect for late night Saturday TV circa 1979-80. Would have launched them a lot higher.
Jule She’s my Best Teacher in Thai School, I miss her😞❤️
Thanks for edit/uploading... the Live footage with Protest/technology scenes works well.
thanks!

41 years later I'm discovering them though an Apple commercial. WTH!!!
i discover this cuz the Sex education series on netflix XD
Maravilhoso
One of Basquiat’s fave bands in early ‘80s NYC.
Basquiat liked Joy Division?
Was shocked this was from the 80s still sounds good in 2021
Nothing sounds this good in 2021
And they say the 80s sucked.
@@mtsnhm i rarely see people say this to be honest
RIP Kelvin Knight
Amen to that. Unfortunately his demons got the better of him. I lovely soul
Early 1980's I love it!
RIP julz
Hell yeah 🔥
Baixo 🥰
Thank you Apple and even more so Delta 5 for this piece of art
Rest in Rock J.
I like the commercial that used this song and I'm loving this song.
Me too!
Hidden talents.
Never too late to discover some good music.
Rest in peace Julz Sale.
The girl with the Fender-style bass looks kinda like Phoebe from Friends!
Esse baixo....!!!
This is FUCKING GREAT!!!!! I love the early post punk scene!
That guitar riff is sooooooooooooo catchy😆😆😆😆
Why do i love this ?
Because it's awesome?
Because there are REAL INSTRUMENTS : 🎸🥁🥁🎹🎛🎶🎧🎤
Because its an amazingly underrated masterpiece
@@markdeleon3939 It proves good taste then ?
So @ 1:46 there's a second bass player???
Yup, Delta 5 had 2 bass players - saw them in 1981 supporting Gang of Four - everything in the venue was bouncing
Im just hearing them for First Time 2022. Why
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
This should literally just eternally be the theme for everyone regardless of what
RIP Julz Sale, in our thoughts
Especially. It was sad she went also. The years tick by so fast. Once they are just kids. The next they are going on.
Holy moly !!! iPhone ad😅😅😅
Jennifer Lawrence plays the bass really well
These women were dope as hell. The audience is pretty bad ass too lol, I love hearing them yelling no.
Love this song from the commercial for Iphone. Glad I found it. Yes!
It's been around for over 40 years, chief
It's rather unknown though
Definitely 80's Punk, Awesome song!
could this be any more fucking glorious!? these riffs remind me of some dirty shadowy men from a shadowy planet! fire! NO... MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!!!!
Uprated, shared.
Two people didn't mind their own business...
Get all the way out of my life..
you know how the fuck it is
lol you know busybodies get offended as hell by this song 😂
Thanks apple
Great base line 80s will be the greatest music decade.
I absolutely love the footage of pro-choice rallies next to the live performance.
Thanks so much. That was hard footage to film!
I think I saw Delta 5 once..on a tour with Pere Ubu & Gang of 4, most probably early '81..can anybody confirm if this is correct?
Fuck, what a lineup
Yeah not bad for less than £3 !....bands used to expect to lose money touring but 'pick up fans' who would often buy the records( & othen stick with the bands during lean times to keep things ticking over).
Now it's the 'live performances' that make the money...I might just be an old git ,but when I see £200 + for a 'name performer' & for an extra £150 you can 'shake hands & have a photo with your favourites' I kind of feel a lot has been lost in the Artist-Audience relationship/Balance
Yes, all three bands played at Hurrah and I filmed all but Pere Ubu, to my regret! That was kind of what set a fire under me to start filming all the performances, missing Pere Ubu.
I was for sure minding my own business when this live show took place... I was inside my mother womb and came out a month later :)
The irony is that modern music doesn't have nearly the dynamics of this song...
Oh hey Ruby!
"I understood that reference"
3:07-3:48 is gold
The guitar reminds me of the Space Ghost Coast to Coast theme.
I had to pause during the solo and ask... you do know how to play that right?
Hurts my ears!
I like the way they say business lol
WOW this song is really over 40 years old.. I thought it came out in 2003. Or was that a 2003 remastered release?
It was a huge hit in all the Clubs in 1980 when they made this performance.
This band makes me think of Gang of four.
They were friends and shared music studios.
@@VJ1tv ... Correct. "Delta 5" was formed from the same Leeds University art school scene in West Yorkshire, England as "Gang of Four" and "The Mekons".
# Good Ear !
I like what's going on in the little window.
Thanks. I shot that footage around the same time, some of it earlier, the protest footage is the Women's Action Coalition shot in 1992.
@@VJ1tv Amazing how each generation and decade has its own issues that emerge to the forefront.
apple and netflix did not send me here, but google did
Fucking fantastic !
sure wish this vid didn't have the added visuals

@@VJ1tv lol, you got me
this song came out in the 70's but became viral and immortalized by Iphone/T Mobile commercial this year of 2021. Cant make this stuff up!!
Funny how this song becomes more relevant by the algorithm from what's been going on nowadays with the whole 'no abortion law' ..

Let me know if you know of another song that should be included!
Why just the partial title? The song is entitled Mind Your Own Business!

I never realized it is a pro choice song.
That's just my take on it, and unfortunately, plenty of women are still having to say "mind your own business" about it.
@@VJ1tv Mine too & I dont know the history of the song, just felt it lol
there's an early dum dum girls cover of this song
Brian Kish Thanks for the tip. I just checked it out. GREAT!
Vim pela propaganda aqui no Brasil
Apple introduced me to this song! 🤓
Me too😆😆😆💋
Pound me too!!! Oh wait #METOO! Lol
Man... Fuck Apple, but damn their marketing is good.
I hope Apple pay the remaining members of Delta 5 huge royalties for this.
