Always liked this song as a kid and never really knew why; now I reckon it's because it's got Motown written all over it!!!!! What do you think?!

It has as retro feel to it. To me it is a combination late 60s Motown and early 70s Al Green Hi Records sound.
Who are these people?
Yes, I hear you there marv.
They are Boyzone, a boyband from Ireland who had success in the UK in the 1990s. :D
Yes! Good song, good performance, and a nice tribute to the Motown Sound!
I agree PNH!!! :)
It sounds to me like a Hitsville/Philly hybrid. I get undertones of Thom Bell/Spinners in addition to Motown licks.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
Boyzone were a very big boy band here in the UK. In 2014, late in their career they released a Motown tribute album called "Dublin to Detroit". Their lead singer Ronan Keating has also been successful as a solo artist during the same time as the band's success
Yeah I can hear that Al. The drumrolls and guitar remind me of Motown but the horns are a bit more Philly. :)Quote:

Reminds me more of Hall & Oates in the 80s. Or even Billy Joel or Huey Lewis also from the early 80s.
It sounds like something the commadores with lionel richie would've done.
I can hear all of those things!! It's interesting that everyone hears something slightly different. :D
Just wonderin' ... have the Gayes sued yet?
