Always loved this song, together with their hit single "True"... Tony Hadley's voice is very impressive..

Gold is basically a perfectly put together song. Interesting tone and rhythm changes, unreal vocals, power, catchy. Perfect.

"True" was such a massive hit that it overshadowed this gem. I love this song.

Spandau Ballet and ABC are right up there on the same pedestal for me as 2 truly great groups with strong lead vocalists and clean yet dynamic instrumentals.

I have loved Spandau Ballet since their first "To Cut A Long Story Short" in 1980. It was a dance club hit but didn't make the pop charts in the US. It's a great song.

An early song of Spandau Ballet is Chant No°1"I don't need this pressure on",another great song!

I always liked this song. Good backbeat. Tony Hadley had a strong voice. He covered Save a Prayer by Duran Duran, and it was good.

You need to check out Through The Barricades next, it will blow you away. Amazing vocals by Tony Hadley. Great band, great reaction. Loved when the drop came and took you by surprise. This is an 80s classic. It doesn't come much better than this!!!

They are one of the reasons the 80s was the best era for music so far in my lifetime.! I grew up with these guys also...The Human League...Pet Shop Boys...ELO.! Great times for music.

This makes me want to see you react to The Look of Love by ABC. This spandau ballet is classic. What a great surprise you did this one!

I signed a petition years ago to make this song Englands national anthem. I still maintain that position.

Tony Hadley. Best voice of the 80's !!! .. unfortunately he didn't really get on with Gary Kemp the main songwriter so Tony left and they tried to carry on but spandau are no good without Tony Hadleys vocals..try reviewing 'Through the barricades ' and Muscle Bound as well as Chant number 1..all great songs with that fantastic voice..

"I'll fly for you" and "Only when you leave" are other great ones from them. They we're huge in the 80's and if you look for Tony's nowadays performances, he sounds exactly the same as he did back then!

Great band, amazing tuned voice, sophisticated arranges, impeccable production, lots of good songs... I like their songs (and videos) called "To Cut A Long Story Short" and "Only When You Leave". Undoubtedly, they made some gems from the 80s. Cheers!

As great as "True" is, I actually like this song and "Only When You Leave", better than True. I always thought this song should be a title song for a James Bond movie, not sure why but I always got James Bond movie theme song vibes from this song. I wish more modern day songs would ulitize the sax more, it really enhances the quality of the song.

Spandau were so well produced and Tony had such a great voice, they stood out back then along with a few others. Great stuff! and as others have said, Through the Barricades is a MUST.

The New Romantics Genre was cool bringing new smooth lush sounds and fast fashion with glossy magazines to the new MTV generation. Lead by Manchester UK band ABC and many bands from The UK like Duran Duran, Heaven 17, Visage, Ultravox, Flock of Seagulls and of course Spandau Ballet which I believe means fast fashion in England.

One of the 3 main voices of the early to mid 80's for me...Tony Hadley, Boy George and George Michael. All totally different but all fantastic in their own way.

Gold is Golden! A really classy song. Tony had a rich voice. Can’t figure out, if his a Baritone or a Tenor, his darn good. Glad you like it Jovaughn.

Great music never gets old. 42 yrs on and it still sounds fantastic. Not sure if you've done it yet but To Cut A Long Story Short by Spandau is worth a listen , this was one of their first ever hits. Keep up the great work.

One of best voices I’ve ever heard. 👌🏼👌🏼

Impossible not to sing and dance dramatically to this song! 😅 Always liked it more than true, Tony’s voice is perfect here.❤

This song is STILL ON MY PLAYLIST after all these years ♥ it never lost its magic

Iconic 80's band. Another good band is The Style Council - You're the Best Thing. Paul Weller's voice is amazing.

Epic eighties masterpiece! I was 14. Loved it then, love it even more now. This song is perfection. So glad you loved it.

Great song by Spandau Ballet. My favorite from them. His voice is incredible. Regards from Chile!! 🙂

You should listen to I'll Fly for You and Only When You Leave. Good spins. ❤️

I forgot all about this song! It's very good... transported me back to high school. Thanks for reacting.

Another great '80 band. Oh, how I ❤️ this era I grew up in.

Spot on with your brilliant smile!Tony Hadley a great singer in a great pop band,great that you chose this classic 80's pop song!

When all the UK pop stars were first in the studio to record Band Aid, all the singers were feeling a but shy, I guess it's a big thing to stand up in front of all your peers and let rip. Tony Hadley was the one who stood up to the mic first, it's kind of easy to work out why he had the nerve to do that, he has impressive pipes :)

It's always great to listen to this song. Music of this quality will probably never be made again in our lifetimes. Oh top of that it has this cool, James Bond 'Goldfinger' style video.

I met Tony Hadley once, I was working in an off licence when there was an 80s revival at the city hall, and he came in, just like any regular customer, and bought some cigars

This is my favorite song of theirs, in fact the whole "True" album is great. I just love Tony Hadley's voice. I only wish you had done the album version instead of the video since it is slightly longer. I agree you should do "Only When You Leave" next.

Great band, I've always been a big fan. Other songs to check out: Lifeline, Chant No. 1, Communication, Paint Me Down. You won't be disappointed!

Martin and Gary Kemp are the background vocals, FYI.

great reaction jayvee! "I'LL FLY FOR YOU" is another great song by them . for reaction. ; )

One of the most beautiful songs of 80's

You are so right-its a banger. What an amazing song. Amazing.

One of my guilty pleasures is their song "Only when you leave".

I saw Tony Hadley live years ago, he was amazing, what a voice he has.

Love this band! I love the message in this song.

For me this may be one of the best underrated songs of all time because this song is so unique in so many ways, and of course Tony Hadley just explodes into the scene, loved your passion in the video keep it up bro 👍

T.H. one of the most soulful voices of New Wave music in the 80's. Also labelled 'New Romantics' of that era. They came to the U.S. spearheading a whole wave of UK bands... Howard Jones, Adam Ant, Culture Club, ABC, Thompson Twins, Duran Duran... Tons of fun seeing and dancing to those bands. Thanks for the reaction.

Only when you leave is another great one from SB

a young lady professor of ours once came to class in a gold lame dress popular at that time. needless to say, after she left, some of my classmates started singing this song. fun times 😂

" To Cut A Long Story Short " is well worth a listen - a great New Romantics anthem . Speaking of New Romantics the iconic " Fade To Grey " by Visage would perhaps make a good reaction

Through the barricades is a really good song buy the group.It was one of my Grandma's favourite songs.

My favorite Spandau Ballet song is "Through the barricades" - it was a massive hit in the 80's

Oh how good it is to be back! Just moved house and haven't had any Internet for a while. Missed your reactions so now I'm going to catch up on all the ones I've missed! I love Spandau Ballet. Their songs are usually pretty uptempo and fun, but my favourite is 'through the barricades'. A slower tempo song which tells the tale of two young lovers who come from two different backgrounds (it was based around the divide between catholics and protestants, and both characters were from opposing sides of the barricades). It can be applied to many situations which bring together two people from two very different backgrounds and they both defy the divide. Please have a listen....its so poignant and quite heartfelt.

Your fascial expression says more that thousands of words ... It's shame that new generation won't be ever capable to create and understand such a masterpieces and music in general ... This is reminder of the human history that we got and were living in some lovely times & much more innocent and truthful compare to these days ... Enjoy whilst you still can , love to all 💖💖💖

Love, love, love this song...

This song kicks all kinds of ass. Brilliant.

Loved this since it came out and I was a teenager!! Good to hear you point out bits that I hadn't noticed, and I thought I knew this song back to front!!

yes yes yes Jay! Every reaction you do, totally appreciating good music. Love the Spandau! x

1983 i had this 7 inch single. Got it by writing with coupons for a breakfast cereal. Loved the song. I was 11.

Wow his voice is so rich, I never heard of this song. I have heard "True" but that's it. Beautiful vocals. That so tallllll part wow!!! That sax 😍 and those drums!

Haven't watched yet, but thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you for choosing this song / band. I 've been listening to it since the 80's and I just don't get sick of it. Also, thank you for your time and sharing it with us. It's appreciated. In advance. Came back to add, I think you would enjoy their song To Cut A Long Story Short.

Love this song. Great sound. I always thought it belonged in a James Bond movie. Tony Hadley is an incredible singer!

this song always puts me in such a good mood, I almost woke my family up at 2AM here in Britain wanting to sing and dance to this. Thank you Jovaughn. ❤️

I love this song. It’s definitely a niche song probably not for the masses but I always like Spandau Ballet. Reminds me of my high school days.

The two doing the backing singers, lead and base guitar, are the Kemp Brothers. They were in the 90s film The Krays , playing the Krays . Gary Kemp is the brains and song writer of the band .He wrote all their songs

Tonys voice is gold 😊❤ Spandau Ballet "only when you leave " 😊❤

This group is interesting in many ways. Most of its members over the years attended the same high school, rated amongst the best state schools in England. They chose their name after the prison in Berlin where the last of the wartime nazi war criminals were kept - finally just one man (Rudolph Hess) doing a solo "Spandau ballet". Another set of boys I have not seen you review are the globally famous TNT Boys. There are lots of covers of theirs out there, but perhaps you might try: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mZOJqNiEmMrVoYU.html. Have a blessed Easter.

The drums are the Simmons SDSV (SDS5) electronic drums and other guy is playing bongos. Tony Hadley for me has the best voice in the British 80'S scene. I still got my SDSV after all these years, still the best analog electronic drums.

♥️ 🙏 thx for reacting on this one. i grew up with Spandau Ballet and still listen to them. great voice of Tony Hadley 😊

LOVE this song!

so glad i was a teen in the 80s, best music, best fashion and loveddddddddd spandau..

Spa day Ballet were one of my favourite bands back in the day. Loved Tony Hadley-fantastic voice.

Through the Barricades is my favorite. Have a listen. Best singer for me in the 80s.

I agree with others suggesting “Through The Barricades” next…you’ll love! I saw them live in the 80s, Tonys voice live sounds almost identical as on the records, it was amazing!

Yes. This is the song by them I absolutely adored. Tony's voice is incredible.

Their huge hit and favourite "ONLY WHEN YOU LEAVE".

Through the barricades is Tont Hadleys favourite song. That's a belter too

This has been THE song for me when ever I ended up in karaoke for some strange reason! I struggle with the lower notes but the chorus is just such a joy to sing! Love the message, love the energy!

That's a TRUE singer, no Autotune shit in there plus talented musicians, Spandaul Ballet was huge in the 80'S and still today.

Can’t help but belt this song out loud! Love it! Gold, Gold! 🙌

Bout damn time jayy 🤎❤🧡💛Spandau

Other band that I have four albums. You're choosing the right bands to review, man. Congrats!

There can't be many Brits, even today, who don't know this song. If you played it to a crowd, most people would sing along.

Also fantastic 'Chant No 1', 'I Don't Need This Pressure On', 'Only When You Leave'

Love your appreciation of fine pop,40yrs ago,and your genuine thought's and smile makes me want to check out U.K. 80's pop again The Smiths,Duran Duran,Echo and the Bunnymen,Spandau etc etc,a great period in our pop history,classy and fun!

I saw them live a few years ago. They sound exactly the same. Was one of the most fun concerts I’ve been to

I saw them in concert in the mid 90's and it was an amazing time.

That was exactly my reaponse at the beginning. Like he is singing off track and then syncing and reaping me..❤

one of the best bands!

Spandau Ballet - Only When You Leave (HD Remastered), . LOVE LOVE . . HI JAYVEE I RECOMMEND THIS TUNE !

Great response video Jay ❤️🙏 Tony Hadleys voice is unique..this music was hot during my highschool years, 40 years ago 🤪

Your reaction is so true to the music. I react the same to great voices and music. Keeps me subscribed and coming back to your channel. Keep it up my brother 👍

I love "True" but "Gold" is my favorite Spandau Ballet song.

Check out "through the barricades" by Spandau Ballet 👍

Thanks for reacting to this great Spandau gem! "Communication" is another one by them I really like.

Highly strung is my favorite Spandau Ballet song (I'm a big fan)
