Ace - How Long

"How Long" is a 1975 song by the British group Ace from their album Five-A-Side. It reached No. 3 in the US and Canadian charts, and No. 20 in the UK Singles Chart. Although widely interpreted as being about adultery, the song was in fact composed by lead singer Paul Carrack upon discovering that bassist Terry Comer had been secretly working with the Sutherland Brothers and Quiver. The ‘friends with their fancy persuasions’ cited in the lyrics are said to be in reference to The Sutherland Brothers and Quiver’s management. The guitar solo is by lead guitarist Phil Harris. Alan 'Bam' King was the band's rhythm guitarist, formerly with the Action. Phil Collins later named the song as one of his top 10 favorites, describing it as a "classic single".

How long has a different meaning for me now than back then. I now have wisdom when someone wants to fuck me over. Love this song! Thank you! ❤️
