@@mikecabrera9748 Hi Mike, You are a 💯 correct they don't make music like they used to anymore which is a real shame.The 70s and 80s was the best music and real singers and musicians and voices
1976 was without doubt one of the best years of my life, the hottest summer ever - absolutely insanely good music both soul and reggae and I fell in love for the first time.....awesome.
@@markbourne8546 Hi Mark ,Yes the 70s and 80s were the best music real singers and musicians and voices and now the new era of music is Rubbish I will always listen to the real music and real singers.Music has lost soul that is for sure and its not good
@@markbourne8546 Yes it was a wonderful year 76 through to 1987 it best music 🎵🎶 and real singers with real voice's and now today's music they have lost souls and it is a real shame.One thing we can still listen to the 70s 80s music on UA-cam
The Most Beautiful Music Ever. I hope they play this song at my funeral. This Music always made me so happy. But living in this World now makes me cry. The realization. that this really will never come Back. I was Born too late. 🫂🫂💞💞💞💞
I wish I was there to see it. Seems so much more relaxed and beautiful. It's hard to make life work now but, I do wish whenever I have children to give them this relaxed life. This song reminds me of the great moments Ive had between many mistakes Ive made.
That's what I like about a lot of the 'black' music from the 60s and 70s; soul, R&B and Motown (I'm far from an expert as to which was which in a lot of cases!), they had lyrics that actually meant something and had neat rhymes (I was born in '81 so my favourite decade of music, though full of great sounds, was guilty of gibberish lyrics and a lack of pleasing rhymes - at least people in the 60s writing things like Matchstick Men had the excuse of being on another planet due to the myriad drugs they were taking!). This song has a lot of that quality in it. The words are true and intelligently chosen, flow and rhyme neatly; perfect.
My Maternal nan died 3 years ago in August. And my great uncle is in hospital and he is suffering cancer, and my father said that my paternal great uncle might die in 3-5 months, and my Paternal great uncle is dead now :( and this song is also cheering me up just like you.
One of the best love songs ever with enchanting background score & clean melodious vocals🎧 The lyrics are so real & down to earth that any lover can make this song his/her own at any stage in their life. Too bad this song is not widely popular among people & has not received due adulation which it deserves. My Dad loves this song & so do I. Can lift your mood anytime, anywhere! Timeless classic💟
È stata fatta una cover in Italia, Marina Rei il titolo della canzone Primavera.....una delle canzoni che ascolto per avere il morale su❤..scopro adesso che era una cover....adoro l'originale ❤❤
Except this isn't disco music. It has been lumped in with that scene, in fact I have it on a "disco" compilation. I think soul is a better description of the style.
I began to re-discover a lot of music from when I was growing up in the 70s, a few years ago. I was 10 years old back in 1976 and loved this song, I look back now with a sense of sadness of times gone, but at the same time I so much more appreciate brilliant music like this.
I heard this song today for the first time in many years. I was 17 in 1976. I loved being a teenager in the 70's. I had the same feeling as you - reminiscing the good times and feeling a twinge of sadness. Here's to happy memories!
Please take me back to 1976, please I plead. I remember when this song came out. I was young and wild, but damn I had good taste in music. This song has kept me dancing from 1976 right up to 2019. "YOU TO ME ARE EVERYTHING" changed the discotheques of yesteryear for good. The ambience, the turntables, and the coloured disco floors were changed forever. Even the massive speakers would keep on singing this song right up to 2019 and beyond. I am an old man and I am stuck in a musical time warp. I am not willing to wake up and leave and nor do I have any intentions to. Treasured gems are my memories of yesteryear and especially of The Real Thing and their great musical talent. R.I.P Eddy Amoo & Ray Lake. What I wouldn't do right now to relive and turn back time to those golden, special moments in time. To The Real Thing, thank you for the beautiful music that you shared, your legendary status and legacy will remain for eternity . Even though I am old, you may ask, Any Regrets? Nah!! I've had fun and a good life and a good time. "THE MIND STILL SEES, THE HEART WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER" 🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶 🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶 🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺
@@theresascheepers2407 I have no doubt! Thats nothing! You are not older than you feel. But I feel like a f@king tree in the story of "lord of the rings" Im wise, Im stupid, and can't figure out my next move! 😊And the world makes me tired like nothing else! 😁
I was thirteen when this song was released in 1976. And that year was t h e year of so many world hits. I still love this song and I could hear it all day long. It makes me happy right from the intro. To me this group should have the same recognition as the Commodores, the Temptations, Earth, Wind and Fire, the (Detroit) Spinners, the Manhattans and some more. But they only had this one superhit. So they are totally underrated. But this tune will hopefully played forever...
well done getting you award guys. Im a southern softie who grew up loving your music.. actually met you on a car park when you were going over to Holland IN 1975. They all danced around the car park.AMAZING...... In 1979 met a scouser changed my life forever.LOVE TO ALL OF LIVERPOOLXX
The 70's without a doubt was the best era for soul music , I met the love of my life in 74' and every time I hear 70's soul I am transported back . I am literally in the moment . I for one wish it had never ended......
Wow a big hit at the teen parties back then with everyone on the dance floor. The song's awesome vibe transported us to heaven on earth and remains a classic.
As a child of the 60's and a teenager of the 70's, it makes me feel good to see so very many people comment how those decades were so great. I don't think it is only because we were so young then. It is also because the world was a gentler place (yes, I know, it still had some big problems all the same). The never to be repeated, wonderful music of the times was a big, big factor in this. Music then was good natured, tuneful and inclusive. With very few exceptions, today it is the opposite. Where has all the song-writing talent gone? I'd go back to being 10 years old in 1970 like a shot if it was possible. Sadly, it is not so those of my generation carry on with great memories of the happiest two decades of the past 100 years to sustain us.
I keep telling my kids that nothing good in music happened after the end of the 70s. When else could you find so many great musicians and singers with such diverse music from psychedelic/progressive rock to disco.
Well said. It was a time when great music was created all over the world and fantastic bands were formed who will be remembered long after they are gone. What a special te it was .. love, peace and beautiful music.
You To Me Are Everything - Lyrics I would take the stars out of the sky for you Stop the rain from falling if you asked me to I'd do anything for you, your wish is my command I could move a mountain when your hand is in my hand Words cannot express how much you mean to me There must be some other way to make you see If it takes my heart and soul, you know I'd pay the price Everything that I possess I'd gladly sacrifice Oh, you to me are everything The sweetest song that I could sing Oh, baby, oh, baby To you I guess I'm just a clown Who picks you up each time you're down Oh, baby, oh, baby Give me just a taste of love To build my hopes upon You know you've got the power girl To keep me holding on So now you've got the best of me Come on and take the rest of me Oh, baby Though you're close to me, we seem so far apart Maybe given time you'll have a change of heart If it takes forever, girl, then I'm prepared to wait The day you give your love to me, won't be a day too late Oh, you to me are everything The sweetest song that I could sing Oh, baby, oh, baby To you I guess I'm just a clown Who picks you up each time you're down Oh, baby, oh, baby You give me just a taste of love To build my hopes upon You know you've got the power girl To keep me holding on So now you've got the best of me Come on and take the rest of me Oh, baby Oh, you to me are everything The sweetest song that I could sing Oh, baby (oh, baby) Oh, baby (yes, I need you baby) You to me are everything The sweetest song that I could sing Oh, baby (you are everything to me) Oh, baby (can't you see?)

I youst to stand by the radio when I was a baby an dance to this,so my mum says haha I'm 47 now that was back in 1977 when I was 2 an still love it now..

I sang this song to my husband at our wedding party 😁🥰 Never forgotten when all my bridemaid and myself sang the chorus for him 😄 This Song put always a smile on our face ❤️
Ohh gosh!!! This song brings back to me the good old days of listening to the radio in the 1970's, such wonderful music. Listening to this in February 2022, still sweet until now.
Still touring in the UK - fantastic live vocals (go and see them, support the lads). Such a special song that has stood the test of time - the story of youth. Thank you Chris and Dave (and the late Ray and Eddie) 💜
In hospital a few years ago and stuck in my bed I got talking with this guy in one of the other beds in the ward,really nice chap. He told me about three venues he liked to go to for live music,and he's seen a lot of the old groups and singers still going there - including the Real Thing.
This song holds so much childhood memories for me as I was in my early days at St Marks school Fulham, aged 13 back in 1976 when this tune was flavour of the year, those days no MTV,no internet, no mobile phones or pirate radio, this was one of the few Soul tunes you'd hear on the radio or on Top Of The Pops, but we got by, sweet memories of 1976
It does make me sad that this was one of the few soul tunes you could hear on the radio or tv. So much great stuff in 1976, but I guess the radio was obsessed with the bay city rollers, glam rock and all that nonsense?
@@DavidMichael-w1g. Hey 👋 yes I am a big fan and I listen to music alot as I don't have my Husband Tex with me no more as he passed away on the 03-11-2022 so I really love listening to good music.Are you a big fan as well David
Do tell, why did they have to fight off the black american singer song writers? The biggest detriment to black British songwriters was racism in the industry and the lack of support at home. Despite this, some bands in the 80's/90's succeeded like Soul to Soul, Junior, and Loose Ends(one of my favorites).
I’m 30 years old , my mum who I love very much played this during my childhood . Why don’t they play music like this anymore !! 2021 please someone bring music out like this. Bless you all ❤️💙
Such a brilliant and quintessential 1970s sound. No other decade quite like it. And to think these guys are scousers but you'd think they were from Detroit. Nailed it perfectly.
Takes me back to Sundays when i was a kid, and my dad would play all kinds of great 70/80's music loud as shit in our garden. This song was on every weekend. Ahhh the memories.
A love in my younger days and even got engaged, we were to young and broke apart but I will never forget Carol (Homan) in Brighton X and she bought me this record, it always gets you on the dance floor.
this song is a song of stamina and I wonder what these guys are doing these days. I remember this one as I had a debilitating illness in 1976 which no one to this day can diagnose but i felt very weak and I went o Ireland to visit my cousins and this was playing. I think it helped me a great deal, thankyou The Real Thing! xxxx Noreen
+Noreen Faruga ...Although I don't know you from Adam, I truly hope this song still helps you today, because I know it still helps me some 40 years later...God Bless!
Once, when I was in my teens, I woke up hearing this song from the radio and I realised I just had a dream about me sitting on the head of a dinosaur as he was marching along. And we were best friends. I woke up so happy. "You to me are everything, The sweetest song that I could sing."
Man, those were the days really listening to this music. It actually gives me Goosebumps and the pleasure of living through the 80s 90s. Cause I'm telling you, there's nothing. There's crack music out there right now. And listening to this music. Just bring you back to those happy days. I could play this song over and over
Listening to gem in Sydney Australia on 1st July 2022 and loving it. Such great talent....for some reason the image of Love Boat, Magnum PI and those 80s shows come up in my mind.
This was played at my wedding 24 years ago, and I just wanted to say how much I loved a dear friend Eddie Amoo on his anniversary of 2 years day and honor his memory and beautiful family may he be in paradise forever.❤️😘

Since re-discovering this song 3 days ago, I have been literally playing it, non stop. The '70's were the best years in music.

80s and early 90s too
Yes they were!😊🎉
and the 80s too
Disco had some god awful songs but when it was great, uplifting it was truly great.

You To Me Are Everything - Lyrics
I would take the stars out of the sky for you
Stop the rain from falling if you asked me to
I'd do anything for you, your wish is my command
I could move a mountain when your hand is in my hand
Words cannot express how much you mean to me
There must be some other way to make you see
If it takes my heart and soul, you know I'd pay the price
Everything that I possess I'd gladly sacrifice
Oh, you to me are everything
The sweetest song that I could sing
Oh, baby, oh, baby
To you I guess I'm just a clown
Who picks you up each time you're down
Oh, baby, oh, baby
Give me just a taste of love
To build my hopes upon
You know you've got the power girl
To keep me holding on
So now you've got the best of me
Come on and take the rest of me
Oh, baby
Though you're close to me, we seem so far apart
Maybe given time you'll have a change of heart
If it takes forever, girl, then I'm prepared to wait
The day you give your love to me, won't be a day too late
Oh, you to me are everything
The sweetest song that I could sing
Oh, baby, oh, baby
To you I guess I'm just a clown
Who picks you up each time you're down
Oh, baby, oh, baby
You give me just a taste of love
To build my hopes upon
You know you've got the power girl
To keep me holding on
So now you've got the best of me
Come on and take the rest of me
Oh, baby
Oh, you to me are everything
The sweetest song that I could sing
Oh, baby (oh, baby)
Oh, baby (yes, I need you baby)
You to me are everything
The sweetest song that I could sing
Oh, baby (you are everything to me)
Oh, baby (can't you see?)
You to me are everything
The sweetest song that I could sing
Oh, baby
Oh, baby (you're everything)
You to me are everything
The sweetest song that I could sing
Oh, baby (the sweetest song)
Oh, baby
You to me are everything
The sweetest song that I could sing
Oh, baby, oh, baby

Don't apologise for thy musical maturity, dear Julian !!! EVER !!!
I'm 60 and this tune has memories you can't forget with the girls. The 70s, that was a decade. Bless, REAL THING.
@@cianob3654 well said
Absolutely loved this,had a mad crush on a girl nxt door,was 13 and in love brilliant song can't get me off dance floor when this is on
1976 what a fantastic year ...so many years ago but sometimes just feels like yesterday.
These total legends are still going strong after 50 years together (only two now sadly but still fantastic live) - yet no honours, MBEs? Why??? 😡
I sang this song to my husband at our wedding party 😁🥰 Never forgotten when all my bridemaid and myself sang the chorus for him 😄 This Song put always a smile on our face ❤️
Ohh gosh!!! This song brings back to me the good old days of listening to the radio in the 1970's, such wonderful music. Listening to this in February 2022, still sweet until now.
Just listen it on radio. It makes friday eve))
Still touring in the UK - fantastic live vocals (go and see them, support the lads). Such a special song that has stood the test of time - the story of youth. Thank you Chris and Dave (and the late Ray and Eddie) 💜
In hospital a few years ago and stuck in my bed I got talking with this guy in one of the other beds in the ward,really nice chap. He told me about three venues he liked to go to for live music,and he's seen a lot of the old groups and singers still going there - including the Real Thing.
This song holds so much childhood memories for me as I was in my early days at St Marks school Fulham, aged 13 back in 1976 when this tune was flavour of the year, those days no MTV,no internet, no mobile phones or pirate radio, this was one of the few Soul tunes you'd hear on the radio or on Top Of The Pops, but we got by, sweet memories of 1976
You could get Radio Luxembourg at nights or so I'm told
That was pirate radio
IT MOST SURELY WAS, MORT.
It does make me sad that this was one of the few soul tunes you could hear on the radio or tv. So much great stuff in 1976, but I guess the radio was obsessed with the bay city rollers, glam rock and all that nonsense?
Candi staton sugar candy kisses
Yes the 70s and 80s were the best music of all time and they could sing Absolutely love it.

@@KarenKl-l8d if I may ask, where are you writing from?
@@DavidMichael-w1g I am writing from Darwin Northern Territory Australia and where are you writing from
Everytime when I listen to this song. I always wanna get up and dance. Love this song to the bone.
Such a brilliant song! Beautiful lyrics and sung to perfection!
Loved this song as a teenager, THE REAL THING,1st no1 R,&B black band. Fighting off the usa black singer song writers.
Do tell, why did they have to fight off the black american singer song writers? The biggest detriment to black British songwriters was racism in the industry and the lack of support at home. Despite this, some bands in the 80's/90's succeeded like Soul to Soul, Junior, and Loose Ends(one of my favorites).
Yeah!!! They talented people they have very2 nice voice .. Stevie wonder
IAN Collingwood Fighting off who. They didn't even write this song. Virtually any decent singer could sing it.
Real Thing Very Good British Group..!
Did Some Good Songs in 70's...! 💞🎤
A classic disco hit - you can't help but smile and get your groove on when you hear this one - love it!!!!
how great is this song!
I’m 30 years old , my mum who I love very much played this during my childhood . Why don’t they play music like this anymore !! 2021 please someone bring music out like this. Bless you all ❤️💙
I saw them at the NAAFI club at RAF Halton around 1988,they were great,much better than the surroundings lol
My favorite all time song would have to be this one..Still has the power to bring back the simplicity and freedom of the 70's!!!...Wow!!
Appreciating this classic ✨️ priceless 💎 in 2022. Who is listening along with me?
Love it!
Possibly the best soul band from Britain in the superb 1970's a superb soul classic . . .Fantastic posting!
Chris Montignani My all time favourite. ...
Kings Hall Belfast fantastic warm up for David Essex much better!!!
This is for my papa. I love you. I would so karaoke to this to you 😍 soul train old skool baby hehe
My late brother's classic song...he would have been 58 today...thanks for introducing to great music... Brother's Johnson, Cameo, Isley Brothers, RIP
saw them at 70's weekend 12th sept at Butlins-still sound great-what a live band went down a treat
Me too. Brill.
See you in November at the soul weekend.
thanks to these guys with this lovely song I've been married 40
years we broke up but this song got us back together
Such a brilliant and quintessential 1970s sound. No other decade quite like it.
And to think these guys are scousers but you'd think they were from Detroit. Nailed it perfectly.
Wow I did not know this - great music for the dance in the day - bump, hustle and many dances🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🥂🥂🥂
So true 💯
Takes me back to Sundays when i was a kid, and my dad would play all kinds of great 70/80's music loud as shit in our garden. This song was on every weekend. Ahhh the memories.
A love in my younger days and even got engaged, we were to young and broke apart but I will never forget Carol (Homan) in Brighton X and she bought me this record, it always gets you on the dance floor.
this song is a song of stamina and I wonder what these guys are doing these days. I remember this one as I had a debilitating illness in 1976 which no one to this day can diagnose but i felt very weak and I went o Ireland to visit my cousins and this was playing. I think it helped me a great deal, thankyou The Real Thing! xxxx Noreen
+Noreen Faruga ...Although I don't know you from Adam, I truly hope this song still helps you today, because I know it still helps me some 40 years later...God Bless!
Noreen Faruga they performed at a music festival I went to last week, happy fest in imber court. They played this live and the whole crowd sung along.
Well what a great place to feel better in :)
September 2021
Saturday morning heading out for morning coffee and this song came up on radio .
Ive missed it
Once, when I was in my teens, I woke up hearing this song from the radio and I realised I just had a dream about me sitting on the head of a dinosaur as he was marching along. And we were best friends. I woke up so happy.
"You to me are everything,
The sweetest song that I could sing."
Man, those were the days really listening to this music. It actually gives me Goosebumps and the pleasure of living through the 80s 90s. Cause I'm telling you, there's nothing. There's crack music out there right now. And listening to this music. Just bring you back to those happy days. I could play this song over and over
And because anyhow being an Irish step dancer. Music dancing was always in my jeans and my family
hot summer of 76, just as fresh now, as it was then, classic song, only in the 70,s
Timeless......truly a beautiful song
Do you see how this beautiful tune lights up your life?
Brings back beautiful memories from the late 70ts.let go l should never had let go will never forgive myself love the song.
I’m 44 and this song never gets old!❤
Suddenly I'm a child again. Ah nostalgia can be so bittersweet.
I love this song so much, full of heart and hope, never fails to lift me up :)
Listening to gem in Sydney Australia on 1st July 2022 and loving it. Such great talent....for some reason the image of Love Boat, Magnum PI and those 80s shows come up in my mind.
Kloppo’s song, farewell the best Gaffer who stole my heart and brought me to loving the club, all the best #YNWA ❤
Timeless epic legendary nostalgic music @ it's finest!!!
Old school will never die!!!
Never Never
Absolutely great stuff from Dublin on a cold Dec 2020, this brings out the Sun!!!, many thanks.........
Is it just me or is this the most romantic song ever?
The happy happy sound of Liverpool in the 70s...RIP Eddie.
I was there in Liverpool on the dance floor dancing to this
Scouser 4 life
Eddie's dead?
@@peterobbo7512 Sadly yes :-(
This was played at my wedding 24 years ago, and I just wanted to say how much I loved a dear friend Eddie Amoo on his anniversary of 2 years day and honor his memory and beautiful family may he be in paradise forever.❤️😘
This is my wedding song in November 2020. Times may change,but music lives through and through
Every time I hear this song Brett I will think of you ....I miss you till we meet again....wish you were here now xxx
