GUYS IM SO SORRY I WAS HALF SLEEP WHEN I PUT IT AND I MIXED IT ALL UP I JUST FIXED IT MY BAD EVERYONE AND THE SAMPLE IM THINKING OF IS NOT DAWN ( NOT SURE WHO THAT IS ) THE ONE IM TALKING ABOUT WAS SANG BY LLOYD
@gigi v yes Gary was the song writer him and his younger brother (considered the good looking one in the group) went on to star as Ronnie and Reggie kray (real London gangsters) in the krays.gary was Whitney Houston's manager in the bodyguard and Martin was on soap opera EastEnders.
You made a mistake you're human and no one is perfect. Keep doing your awesome reactions. Jayy best of the best hands down. 🤘🤘🤘👍👍
I'm not sure what happened. Or what you think you need to apologize for. No worries! You have nothing to feel bad about! You are just fine. Things happen, and nobody's ever going to blame you for a tiny mistake. Hell, I think truly most of us that absolutely adore you, and watch your post understand that things happen, and we will always have your back! Love you sweetheart! You just keep doing this wonderful thing that you do, and we will always love you for it!
Really Good Reaction Jayy.
This is yet another London Band, of which there used to be an endless supply and the 2 other prominent members are identical twins who starred as the Gangster Kray Brothers in the 1990 Film : " The Krays" :)
@@Isleofskye Gary Kemp the song writer was born in 1959 his bro Martin Kemp who plays bass was born in 1961 both October.
London gangsters the krays were twins born October 1933.did you mean the krays?
Awesome song! All of us born in the late 60's, or early 70's, and grew up in the 80's can relate to this song! It's a wonderful marker in time for us!
I was born in 97 and I've known this song since I was a kid. I know a lot of the 60s, 70s,, 80s and 90s and certain older songs I'll never get sick of no matter how many times I hear them. Like take Slade for example my grandad loves them so I've known their music since I was little and I never get sick of them even though I've heard them hundreds of times but I always turn the music loud and sing along and they always cheer me up because it reminds me of growing up so they always make me happy
I apologise about the bad grammar and spelling as well sorry
last dance school disco !
P.M Dawn did a huge sample of the intro called " set adrift on memory bliss " big hit too, this is the original song and artist
Ah PM Dawn!! What great music they put out…
Yeah, I think other stuff maybe sampled it too, not to mention use in commercials. Original source here!
PM Dawn! Omg yes :) Totally forgot about them. I can't remember what album it was but the one of theirs that was super popular has a duet on it with Boy George called More Than Likely, sooooo good!
@@MamaNaeNae that one is such a great song!!!
I love song too ❤️❤️
Yes Jayy, this is the original, and it's easily one of the best songs of the eighties era.
It's a cover, but it's the best version.
@@incredibleadventures1027 PM Dawn did a cover of this song. SB did the original.
Spandau ballet are a British group from the 80s one of many bands from the UK that were massive hits around the world. The song here TRUE was written by Gary Kemp in his teenage years as a leading band member a tribute to Motown artist Melvin Gaye the whole tempo and style was there signature sound Melvin is mentioned in the song the guitar player his twin brother is on the Drums they have never done a cover song they were in there day far too talented check out one of there other big hits ""beyond the barricades ""😁👍
I know this much is true
@@incredibleadventures1027 its an original written by Gary Kemp
This is the original. An iconic song that will last the test of time. Fantastic, timeless song.
Besides Gold charting in the top 40 This was Spandau Ballet’s highest chart entry on the US billboard hot 100 reaching number 4 in early 1983 and are very much considered a ‘one hit wonder’ in the states compared to their much greater success in Europe and their native UK where TRUE reached the Top of the charts. As a fan of Tony Hadley and Spandau it’s great to see so many of these reaction videos and this timeless song being given the recognition it deserves.
He has such a great voice. So many talented artists in the 80s. A great time to experience music
Tony has an incredible voice and so glad you gave this a listen because a lot of today's samples come from the greats like this.
1983. Original version. Massive No1 in the UK. Written by the band, Sampled by PM Dawn in 1990s.
Written by Gary Kemp from the band, as bar a couple of songs he wrote all of their stuff.
I yearn for the early '80s when I hear this, it was TRUE-LY a great time to be a teenager.
Gotta be one of the sweetest and most heartfelt songs of the 80's, and there were a LOT of sweet, sappy 80's songs. 😊
I loved this song from the first time I heard it in the 80's. Tony Hadly's voice is just so clear and clean.
One of best 80s tracks ever
Yes I agree with you on that one also I can play this song over & over that's how much I love it classic
True is one of the most player putting his foot DOWN sexy jams of the CENTURY!!! Those musicians are simply powerful and succinctly golden.
This is from an era of when music was really music when the song writers literally wrote songs with feelings and rhythms and beats that would surpassed time and be timeless. I feel super proud to be part of the last generation of real music.
Facts upon facts 💯
Yeah, it's definitely heart-melting. That's exactly how I felt when I first heard it as a 13 year-old back in the day. ☺️
Vocals : Tony Hadley, Backing vocals : Gary & Martin Kemp

#4 USA #1 UK
One of the best songs of the 80's
fun fact, Sade was their clothes designer before she was famous
That explains the swag. Beautiful outfits. Somehow saxophone player solo reminds me of her single Smooth Operator...
When the Spandau's first appeared, their lead singer was sporting tartan and the group was riding the frayed coat-tails of synthesizer-pop. But when you sound like Tony Hadley, blue-eyed soul is obviously the direction you should go in! Part of the movement dubbed 'The New Romantics', their lifespan was actually pretty short but lives on in nostalgia.
"Listening to Marvin all night long ...." I guess that tells us who was an influence on these guys, huh? Hey, and I LOVED your reaction and comments.
Yes, I would imagine that whoever used the "ah ha ha ha ha" part would have had to pay in order to use that well-known part. These guys were SO talented with their ability to play those instruments and sing. Just one of the best songs of the decade (the 80's).
They also did a song called, When Smokey sings. Another one of their influences.
@Jonathan Gordon. The British group ABC did the sing When Smokey Sings, not Spandau Ballet.
Gary and Martin Kemp we’re sued by the other 3 members of Spandau after a disagreement in song royalties, Tony, John and Steve lost the case and Gary Kemp pretty much earns most of the royalties as he was the song writer for many of their greatest songs including being the songwriter for TRUE.
No question it's an extremely elegant song. Brings back memories from the 1980's slow dancing to this song with my crush during my early college days.
This song was huge in the 80s... played at every school dance/prom/etc. Lots of nostalgia.
I count myself as blessed to have grown up listening to this music.. One of the biggest hits of 83
This song is so iconic. I love 80s movies and this was in Sixteen Candles. That’s what I always think of when I hear it.
one of the greatest 80's songs ever, even one of the greatest of all time. Classic
Still a brilliant song even after 40 years
Yes Jayy, this is the original. Great songs get sampled a lot. My favorite is "Ventura Highway", by America. Janet Jackson sampled it for, "Someone to Call My Lover".
Yes. This is DEFINITELY the original. I really enjoyed your reaction!!
I never clicked a reaction so fast. This has always been a favorite of mine and Tony Hadley is absolute 🔥. So glad you enjoyed this classic!!!
More 80s New Wave! Great song, brings back memories. Yes, this is the original. It's been sampled quite a few times.
What a smooth song...I naturally gravitate to heavier music but c'mon you just can't deny how good this song is
I watched so many reaction videos to this song. One thing is common, everyone knew the the opening quite well even though they never heard the song in it's entirety.
A song from my teenage years. Golden 80's.
You had to be excellent with your vocals. Everything had to be perfect.
If you went to a junior high dance in the 80's this song was guaranteed to close out the night.
Jayy. You got hit with that 80's nostalgia! ABC - Look of Love is a good reaction to follow this one! My mom says I would do the baby dance to this when I was 2 lol
The album Gold is full of amazing songs. My favourite is Through the Barricades.
This is the original. A #1 record here in Canada. Beautiful song! ♥️♥️🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
And 25 other countries, truly.
This is one of those songs that I heard so much over the years I just tune it out when it comes on now. But experiencing it with you and other reactors gives me a new appreciation for it because I notice things I never did, like how amazing his voice really is. Now I actually enjoy the song again! If you ever want to do more Spandau Ballet, I really love Gold and Only When You Leave. Oh and yes, this is the original. They created this song. 🙂
I used to work for a skip company many years ago and I took an order from one Anthony Hadley ie: the lead singer here. Love Spandau Ballet. The 80's had so many great songs.
As to the name of the band the lead singer was in a club in Berlin and saw "Welcome to the Spandau Ballet" written on the wall and liked it and the band changed their name to it. After WWII Nazi prisoners were held in Spandau prison in Berlin and British soldiers called hanging Nazis going to the Spandau Ballet because of the way their feet would kick while hanging. The band didn't know what it meant but liked the way it sounded so they used it for their name.
This song is a classic and aged well. Loved it when I was kid, love it today. Silky smooth!
This is the original...The 80's ROCKED!!
This is one of the most beautiful pop songs ever. 💕
LMAO at video title. Also Spandau Ballet's song 'GOLD" is much more upbeat.
I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s. We had some of the best music going. You’re still listening to our soundtrack to GenX’s youth.
They're from North London, England. Big in the early to mid 80s. 'Gold' is my favourite track of theirs
So glad to watch you enjoy "Ture" In the early 80's I was in my twenty, and I still relax into this tune... it's the original. 80's were the best.
Would love to see you react to more Spandau Ballet. They were a fantastic group with many great songs in the 80s.
Probably one of the greatest songs of the early 80s. Tonys voice is sublime and when Martin comes in with the rhythm guitar at the end the song is notched up to truly wonderful. Spandau at its very best.
Hola Jayy, yep this song has now become iconic in stature as one of the slow, sensual romance song of the 80s. Beautiful and wonderful.
Gary Kemp on guitar, synthesizer and backing vocals and his brother Martin Kemp on bass and background vocals are brothers, and they have also acted. They played the notorious British gangster twins The Krays (that's the title of the movie - Gary and Martin are *not* twins irl, though) who terrorized England in the late '50s to '67. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kray_twins
Now this is why I read comments. I never knew any of this!
Iconic song of the 80s . . . One of the great slow Jamz of all time.
I saw the lead singer, Tony, in an interview he gave within the last 5 years. Still handsome, but with a head of gray hair now. As lovely a man as the ballad he sings so well.
Yes, this is the original. But a wonderful reaction video. And yes, I agree - that sax is just so AWESOME...!!!
Their song True is probably most played at prom song ever. It's always in films, even today. The name/term Spandau Ballet is pretty dark. They got it from a bathroom stall in Berlin, someone scribbled it down, but the origin story of the term is crazy. It's a WW1 and WW2 term. Oh and Tony is a great singer and great guy. :)
Classic 80's hit!!!! I think the band's name is pronounced "Span Dow" Ballet
Wrong title and probably thinking PM Dawns sampled this for Set adrift on memory bliss
So glad to see your smiling face. Just watching you brightens my day.
This is the original. You should do "Only When You Leave" and "Gold" by this band as well
I absolutely love your reaction to this 80s classic! Liked and subscribed 😍😍😍 Thanks so much!!!!
Jayy, Next you must react to these songs from Spandau . B : "Gold", "Through the Barricades", "I Fly for you", "Only when you leave" " Highly Strung", "Round and Round", & "To Cut a long story short", trust me you will go crazy and love them all. Ronny
Another group/duo called P.M. Dawn sampled this song "True" in their No. 1 U.S. pop hit from 1991 called "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss." It's psychedelic soft hip-hop and a very colorful, trippy music video. :-)
One of my favorites!
You are listening to the playlist of my youth. My heart feels just how it did on my 16th birthday, hoping that the boy I adored would ask me to dance.
No such luck, but we dated a couple of years later :)
"True" is a song by the English new wave band Spandau Ballet. It was released on 15 April 1983 as the third single from their third studio album of the same name. The song was written by band member Gary Kemp.
PM Dawn definitely sampled it in "Set Adrift On Memory Bliss". This was 1991 as we were transitioning from the 80s music styles.
(Former) Lead Singer Tony Hadley still has the pipes in 2021!
Most recognisable sample of this was PM Dawn - Set Adrift on Memory Bliss
Yes, this is the original. Its been sampled many times. I was a kid when this came out and by the time PM Dawn sampled it, I was a teen. PM Dawn's, "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" is absolutely amazing. You should react to that song as well.
Yesssssss
I grew up in the 60s and 70s but there a few songs from the eighties I loved. This is one of them. This is the original from the eighties.
Did you know that Tony Hadley the lead singer from Spandau Ballet had a cameo role in the Pm Dawn Video of Set a Drift on a Memory Bliss, scroll towards the ending and you see him 😀 😉 😄
Great pick! And the guy who wrote the song and played the piano in the video is Gary Kemp who you might know him in the movie The Bodyguard as Whitney Houston's publicist.
I loved this song since the 1st time I heard it.
This song was also in the movie The Wedding Singer with Adam Sandler & Drew Barrymore. They changed the words a little in that version.❤️
Beautiful 80s song in so many ways
This is the moments when you start to take particular notice of music and where it comes from.
SIXTEEN CANDLES!!! That's the movie it came on. It just hit me.
Yes every time I hear this I think of that movie. Great memories back then 🤔
i would think every generation believes that the music of their youth was the best, but im an 80's teen and i truly believe it was a golden era for music
The 80's are filled with gems like this.
Tony Hadley's voice is even better now!
If you like this, Jayy, then you also gotta check out "Every Time You Go Away" by Paul Young.
People have made fun of this song but then soon realized it's a classic
The last dance at every school disco in the 80s!
Jayy, you can sing! If you like the song, you should sing some or all of of it in all your reaction videos. That would make you unique among the UA-camrs who do reactions.
PM Dawn sampled it on "Set adrift on memory bliss".....which was also a great song.
It's frustrating that lots of younger generations only experienced samples and cover versions of masterpieces that have been butchered years later by less talented people.
80s pop at its finest. Thanks.
MTV days, saw this song on TV, getting ready to head to the clubs 🎥📸🎤👍😎🤘🎷
Yeah, that part of this 1983 song has been sampled a number of times, maybe most famously in PM Dawn's 1991 hit "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss."
First time I heard this song when I was a kid in the 80s, I was hooked.
Love your reaction! I knew this song before the sample and it was one of my all time fav songs.
Hi JAYY i enjoyed your comments about this song Spandau Ballet were such great band from the 80s it was good to hear them and bring bak the memories of such a great time in music
This was a Group that many epitomized Blue Eyed Soul and helped epitomize The British Invasion. You are probably thinking of Set Adrift On Memory Bliss by De La Soul. The Lead Singer was also in the Video. Another Member Martin Kemp would later act on The UK Soap Opera Eastenders where he played Steve Owen. His Wife is Shirley Holiman who was The Blond Haired Lady in Wham. Also they pay homage to Marvin Gaye that other Singers of done like Elton John, Maze (Featuring Frankie Beverly), The Commodores (Sans Lionel Richie) and Diana Ross and Bobby Brown.
Welcome to one of the most popular songs of the mid-80s!
And what an original !!!!! And how Manu rememberings...I'm an old 80's teenager ! :)
the lead singer Tony Hadley STILL has a great voice ...check out a recent single called OBVIOUS
Really Good Reaction Jayy.
This is yet another London Band, of which there used to be an endless supply and the 2 other prominent members are identical twins who starred as the Gangster Kray Brothers in the 1990 Film : " The Krays" :)
Love this song…and was it in the movie 16 Candles. British music was awesome.
This the original song. A big eighties hit. I would listen to this while at work in the aerospace business. Fortunately I had a great boss who enjoyed music as much as I do. We always had great music playing throughout the factory. Then, after work, we would go to a local bar and grill. We would eat , have a few drinks and do a lot of dancing. It was a great time in my life.
In one of my old jobs, we'd be working on overtime and we would take our time doing it. We called it Ballet time.. Because every job we got we would Span it out. "Spanned Out Ballet". We'd span out the work so we got more cash... lol
This True by Spandau Ballet
The original, is the best☺ Tony Hadley has a great voice! Unfortunately most people under 40, have grown up with too much sampling- and have never heard most of the original songs- which is sad!
