How Long?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"How Long?" is the title of a 1975 song by the British group Ace from their album Five-A-Side. It reached number three in the U.S. charts. While the song seems to be a story of a love affair gone bad, there have been some accounts that lead singer Paul Carrack composed the song upon discovering that bassist Terry Comer had been secretly working with other bands.[1] Comer returned to Ace in time to play on this song.[1]
In 1977, Barbara Mandrell recorded a Country/Disco version of the song on her Love's Ups & Downs album.
In 1981, Rod Stewart released a remake of this song on the album Tonight I'm Yours.[2] It charted in the top fifty of the Billboard Hot 100.[citation needed]
In 1981, Lipps Inc released a remake of this song which reached #4 on the U.S. dance chart. In 2008 it is still in rotation on satellite radio.
