What makes Mark King so special is, ,

Not only does he play some incredibly complex bass lines, but to sing at the same time I just out of this World.

This is what puts him on another page from most other bassists out there.

Total respect to the legend he really is.
🙏👏👏👏

[BassGuyRy]

Probaby one of the most underrated bands of all time.

[danielpalmersofficial]

Mark’s slapping and singing is incredible, however I give credit to Mike as well as his singing is great and the keyboard sounds are spot on. ✌️😙

[zombeat]

What I am mostly amazed at is how he can thump out that bassline and still be able to sing so well. That's talent alone.

[MiThreeSunz]

Helluva performance! Mark King is a bass monster! The band was tighter than a stretched rubber band! 😊👊🇨🇦

[pjnugent]

80s bands and music was better than any other decade. There's proof.

NOBODY BUT LEVEL 42 COULD DO THIS LIVE AND EXCEED ANYTHING THAT COULD BE PRODUCED IN THE STUDIO. SONIC PERFECTION AND SUPERIOR STAGE PRESENCE!🏆🎶🎷🎶🏆

[phil-good]

What a King This Mark King !!!
Accurate singing along with priciece bass slapping Give him respect!!

[ABC-yk]

I'll never stop being a fan of Level 42. Brilliant band regardless of the line-up changes over the years. And to the uninitiated, you'll know a lot more Level 42 songs than you think.

Mark King simply nails it each time..One of the greats at the bass..My personal favorite

[euanelliott]

Brilliance, Dignity, Courage and a willingness to help a charitable cause, despite the fact he probably felt dreadful.
Rest In Peace Alan.
1953-1989.

RIP Alan Murphy.
Such a great talent gone too soon 😔

[mtlnascarfan]

One of my favourite bands from the decade...for obvious reasons.
So many amazing groups came of of the UK in the 80's.

[dusanpiscevic]

No tatoos, no fluorescent hair, just rock stars in nice suits...like it seems they have nothing to prove to anybody or themselves like today's "musicians" need!

[awlonghurst]

Moving to see Alan Murphy playing guitar here. Such a fantastically talented guitarist, so sad that his life was cut so short.

[seanlamb]

WOW ! ! Im a bass player and I never knew the front man was slapping the soul out of the bass and singing ..NICE

[sayurimei]

This song will NEVER GET OLD! I was extremely lucky to have parents with amazing music to taste since I'm an 89 born gal who has been jamming to this song since I was born (there is evidence of 3 year old Me surprising my parents by singing this song despite my first language is Spanish 😆) This is one of my All time favorite songs ❤️🥰

[mattstarf]

King is the king of 80s hybrid pop/soul/jazz that bass playing and singing is bonkers good

[MrBlackbass]

Mark King...the THUMPINEST Englishman I’ve ever experienced! Great voice, too.

[boum]

I love Mike's voice. Such a performer
