Nicky Thomas giving it absolutely 100%. Seeing this performance on TV impressed me so much as a little child, that this brave man was suffering so greatly to bring that song on what seemed the last of his strength. Now, grown up, I don't care whether substances were involved, the song is beautiful but what he's doing here, his self sacrifice before his audience, I find that magnificent. Totally giving yourself, to make the most of it, for the Other.
I’m still here in 2024 after a lifetime of listening to Nicky Thomas. The old grey whistle test on British TV was the first time I saw him though I had his album and single’s long before this.
"Love of the Common People" is a song written by John Hurley and Ronnie Wilkins, eventually released in 1970 on John Hurley's album John Hurley Sings about People, but first sung in January 1967 by The Four Preps. loads of other singers have covered it, but for me Nicky Thomas version is the tops
good lord poor me , I thought this was a song by Stiff Little Fingers. This is the best version by far ! always go for the original stuff as gran'ma used to say ...
Et oui on sent bien sa ferveur qu'il a en chantant , sincèrement je suis en mode repeat elle est très émouvante et sensationnel a partir de 2minutes 25 secondes même moi je suis en transe ... Un talent qui rejoint le Créateur qu'il rép en paix 🙂✌️💚
I remember my mum had an old 2 tone tape in the car, and this was my jam!, it’s still one of my favourites songs , Waylon version , Paul young, John Denver …I just love this song!
Hi Natasha, My name is Ron. Seems you and I share a commonality in this song as it was my father who wrote it :). This song has reached so many corners of the world in many different styles. I so love the reggae version you father did. The song was actually about growing up in Pittsburgh under poverty conditions. I too grew up there only about 20 blocks from where he and my grandfather, Jack grew up. Visit my page to hear the original version and see a collage of family photos in the video. \m/
Your father was a great songwriter, if he’d written nothing except this and Son of a preacher man, that would be enough to make him legendary. 😀🏴👏👏
yes indeed it is always this kind of version that is loved by so many people who love this music, like talking blue's by Bob Marley there is a version like this in magnificent audio even wonderful to listen to 👌👍✌️🙂
Well recently Justin Bieber lost the movement in half of his face. The first thing people wondered is whether he could STILL sing. Well, hate to break the news but singing was not one of his strengths before he suffered this condition......
Existe mentes duetias que existe e ser retrógrada na questão do racismo e o procenceito !! Maia isso pode mudar mais tem que deixar a arrogância pra traz ( ausência de humildade ) somos todos seres humanos maravilhosos criados por Deus !!
Nicky Thomas is one of the most under-appreciated singers of all time. Such a great talent.

It makes me cry thinking that the music we are 'forced' to listen to now is Justin Bieber - bring back REAL music
Makes me cry just looking at Justin Bieber. When he starts warbling that's when I laugh!
Unbeaten path is a choice
Well recently Justin Bieber lost the movement in half of his face. The first thing people wondered is whether he could STILL sing. Well, hate to break the news but singing was not one of his strengths before he suffered this condition......
Awesome.... love it!
