I was 6 years old and sad that they didn't let him be part of the swim team. 😅 After my mom explained that he fell in love, I was even more infuriated that it didn't have a happy ending. I loved that song, along with shout, take on me (the other brutal video where someone is beaten up), Karma Camelion, Come on Eileen and many others 🎉

Unbelievable his music changed our life!!!! Small town boy!!! The message was something we'd never seen before you changed our world For the Better🎉🎉🎉🎉

That Bronski Beat LP was such a wake up in 80s Britain. You look and sound spectacular, Jimmy. Congrats and thank you!! 🙏🤗

I'm now 70 and still love his songs. Used to dance like crazy to them but I'm now in a wheelchair so just spin around like mad.

Cracking Voice Jimmy. Loved the 80s Great days.

I’m 57 still a big fan of jimmy still sounds great to me.

I listened to the words one day And they made me think And they made me change my mind And they made me a better person And for that I thank you Jimmy.

I'm 50 straight and always hear this track...awesome. And agree with his philosophy on life a zillion percent..

Brilliant voice Jimmy! It takes me back to the 80's when I was in my early 20's. That song still makes me want to dance, and I do...often! Thankyou 🙏🏻💃🏻☺️

This song still hits I'm 61 now and remember dancing the night away this song, mannn there will never be another music era like the 80's❤

Jimmy. YOU are as awesome and as beautiful singer as when you first hit the music scene. LOVE your voice 🙏🌟

Such an outstanding Vocal Range A voice that makes the hairs stand up on your neck with a shiver WOW ! Thank you JIMMY

Thank you Jimmy! I was 20, out and empowered by leaders like you.

Thank you for helping me come out in 1985

Im straght 54 when i was a teenager i was a long haired heavy metal haed banger . But i loved this song . And still do . 80s where actually the best

I like him so much...and he has a great voice

Love you Jimmy!! Thanks for Smalltown Boy 🌈❤️

Thanks for the wonderful music Jimmy, you've still got a fabulous voice. Have a great week. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.

You’ve still got it. And Beautifully said. I was having a cigar yesterday at my club and this song came on in the background music. Everybody stopped talking … and I later described to everyone its meaning.

Still got the amazing voice. Superb.

I was 12 years old when this masterpiece came out. At the time, I remember, your sexual orientation wasn't a problem for us kids, we weren't interested. There were also Boy George, Elton John, George Michael and others without forgetting, even before you, the great Freddie Mercury. We were interested in your art, your music and what you had to say. In truth today is even worse than the 80's. I still listen to your music today, in the car at full volume, as if I were still in the 80s. You are super!! Thanks for all.

Wonderful voice . I loved this song when I was young and still do.

As a straight Glaswegian l can say with confidence that homophobia is not on the rise amongst the white indigenous population. Still got it wee man.

Amazing still and one of my favourite songs

Hello, I have done a few shows that you were on in France with 80's nostalgia shows. Spent a few lovely moments with you and your 2 fabulous background singers who were amazing. I am thrilled to hear one of your songs resurface and take the world by storm 40 years later. Love it!!! Big hugs 🫂

Such an amazing singing voice

“Smalltown Boy” is part of my personal top 10 of the best songs created on this Earth ...

Brilliant video Jimmy, I've always been a fan....and well said! 👍

Yes the fight never stops could not agree more Jimmy I a m 65 and have been with my partner now for 44 yrs lived through Tatcher Clause 28 and all the other shite to the present day Tory debacle but you know what you just have to LIVE your LIFE and that is what we have done for better or for worse .

You’ve noticed a regression in attitudes towards gay people lately in UK?

Thank you Jimmy, I've been with you since 1986 and grew up on your work. With love from Russia. Be healthy! Good luck to you!

Every one of your songs means something to me, they evoke powerful memories, some good, some not. These days I listen to Reprise quite a lot.

your voice has always been powerful and blessed, i have loved every single verse and song you have wonderfully performed, your vocal talent has been very much appreciated throughout my life thankyou and i am still listening to your uplifting soul tracks in 2024, thankyou for your heart and soul wonderous music, and vocal magical talent,x

Well said and one of the best songs of the 80's 👍

Still an absolute banger of a tune. I like using it in my spin fitness classes. The guys always enjoy it.

I grew up in Glenrothes, never fitted in. Bullied all my days. Most folks don't like me, don't get me. Taken all my life, not to give a sh!t. No support from my family, ashamed of me, and what the neighbours think. I'm lucky now, my Fella Loves me & me him. Small town boy, for me was always a lament, for confidence and affirmation. Older now ya da ya da Life's to short to give a sh!t. M8ty, you've still got it Singing from your soul ❤

Your comment sure resonates for a lot of us! It too suffered a lot of years because of who/what I am. I too came to a point where I just realized that if someone has a problem with who/what I am, THAT'S ON THEM! I stopped allowing the homophobes affect my life. I also clicked in to the fact that a lot of the guys I "played with" when in my teens, were the biggest homophobes in existence. They hid who they really were, using homophobia to deflect, but in "hiding" and under the sheets, they were wild... if you get my drift. In my case, I left my small town and moved far FAR away from the entire family! I made some huge changes that I won't even go into here, except to say, to those sitting and suffering, JUST MOVE AWAY FROM THE TOXICITY! It's YOUR life, NOT theirs!!!! I can't even express the amazing relief to just take control. It clears the mind and one then begins to see just how pathetic and hypocritical those people all were. It's funny, they wanted to control MY life while they couldn't control their own! ROFL The other interesting thing too, is when someone gets away from the toxic people, we take control of our lives and become very VERY successful! Through the years, I noticed, now and then, that those very people who tried to keep me down, were all very unsuccessful and lead miserable lives. I'm not saying that I enjoyed seeing that..... ok... YES I AM! ROFL 👍😁👍

Smalltown Boy absolute banger, and wow your voice Jimmy still as fantastic as ever. Love this song even though the words always bring me to tears!

Amazing voice. Still got it

I cannot stop playing this song. Over and over. You have inspired me to be - just be. It resonates with me in many ways - about just life, without technology, with love, with happy dancing and songs that reverberated into you lungs and ribs. This, was music. Xx

Hello Jimmy.. I remember when I was living in London in early 90s I saw you in a bar in Soho and went up and made a huge dork of myself, exclaiming “OMG Hi! I’m a HUGE fan!” You were kind enough to sort of nod and smile at me, which made my day! I was just wondering the other day what you must make of all those viral “this is my dad showing me how he danced in the ‘80s” clips doing the rounds! The background music is always ‘Smalltown Boy’. Not a day goes by that I don’t still dance around my kitchen to the wonderful PSB or to your hits! Thank you for the lasting legacy you’ve given to the world, and for a kind smile thirty years ago! ❤ love from New Zealand.

Beautiful Jimmy!! Keep going strong xxx

Well said Jimmy and thank you for giving the world such an amazing song.

Epic tune... never gets old . Pure class👏👏

As a DJ this tune still always gets put onto my playlist. Such an iconic tune. Thank you. ❤️

Nice one Jimmy. A big hi and well done from the far away land of Tasmania..

Just Brilliant ❤...always Brilliant❤❤❤

I love you, Jimmy!!! I bought Age Of Consent when I was in high school back in the 80s and I was a frightened boy in a horrible small town in Florida! This album was and still is my anthem for not being afraid of bigotry! It opened the door for me to become involved with ACT UP and Queer Nation! Thanks so much!

Wow, his voice is still amazing ❤

Your exceptional voice still sends chills down my spine. Your courage and determination are exemplary. Stay amazing. ❤❤❤

Love this song one of my favourite tunes of the 80s well done jimmy

Happy 40years anniversary guys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻 Wow,your voice and the tunes - I’m in my fifties now,I remember playing and playing your LP so much,it even looked worn lol. I stand by your message- live and let live xxx

I love you Sir and the rest of Bronski Beat :) I was 19 years living in Sweden when Smalltown Boy came out and I and my sisters and friends LOVED it from moment ONE we heard it. You magical voice and your awsome 80´s dance moves is like no other Jimmy. The 80´s music and musicians are one of a kind that we will never get back again and I am sad for the kids and youths of today that they never get to live in that moment tbh! Keep on singing and living they way you are and wants to Jimmy, I love you and Thanks btw :) Love Suss

Yes Jimmie..love your voice ❤ played that 7 inch of Small Town Boy over and over...ahhh nostalgia ❤❤❤

still got it. Love you jimmy ❤ loved your music then and still do 😊😊😊

Always loved your music and what you stood up for. ❤

Thank you for this amazing and unforgettable song. Love you. Ever! ❤❤❤🎉

Beautiful voice. Pure heart. Brave soul. 🙏

ive always love this tune...im a straight man..remember this when i was a teenager....i never knew their was a struggle, i was just a young teen, but now i understand your plight..times have changed...thanks for the great music over the years, i always loved your music, even though i didnt understand the fight you were going though at the time

I wasn’t alive when this song came out but this is one of the greatest 80s songs everrrr. Careless Whisper being another one. ❤

What a voice! I thought "Why" was superb. I've got a vivid memory of Jimmy's voice and that synth booming out of the first floor windows of a keep fit class at my sports club one dark night in late 84. My brother who is straight liked Bronski Beat. He bought "I feel love" and I got Howard Jones "Look Mama" with our pocket money.

Jimmy, you are Wonderfull. I just love your songs and the Energy they give. You were and are still a master and deserve all our respect and gratitude. Lots of love from Paris ❤

Hi Jimmy. Well said. Wonderful voice. Love you ❤

I loved the song so much! 🥰...till today....

LOVE YOU!!!!!!! LOVE ALL YOUR MUSIC!!!!!!! Still got the voice too

Spot on!!!! How dare anyone think they can interfere in anyone else's life!!! Also, I LOVE your voice!!!!

Your on my treadmill playlist regularly still love all your music 😊

This Song is timeless. I always loved it and always will. 😍🙋🏻‍♂️

I was 17 then, and this song helped me so much to come to terms with who I am. 100% agree with your sentiments, Jimmy Happy 40th Small Town Boy ❤

Love you Jimmy. Still got it . Love all your music.

You are a legend with heart. I have loved your music since the release of Smalltown Boy in the USA. And I listened to your music to give myself hope when things got so very dark. It mattered. Forty-two years HIV+ next month. Keep giving 'em hell, Jimmy!

Yay jimmy I remember I was 17 at the time your brilliant man luv ya !! ❤❤❤❤❤

Still STUNNING! That song is still my anthem . . . ❤❤❤

Looking Well Jimmy

Fabulous as ever ❣️

I never forget the day I heard this song way way back. You have a set of pipes on you Jimmy!. Thanks for everything

A fantastic record and a great message. We came a long way and then regressed. That needs to change.

A truly iconic 80s anthem. Listen to it almost every day, 40 years on! Legend!

Thank you Jimmy, I was 16 when that amazing song ‘came out’ It was the only gay thing I had ever seen or heard and gave me a feeling that there were greater things out there than my stereotypical straight estate. The age of consent album cover ‘words’ were also incredible, I wanted to show everyone around me. You really gave me a kind of warmth that even if I had been ‘found out that I was gay’ it would have been somehow ok. I’m now living in France where they have always been very accepting of gay culture, and yes ‘we’ in some parts of the world are going backwards, so frigging sad. ❤ Andy

A capella, the best Jimmy. ✌✌🇪🇸

Fantastic song. This plus the video that went with it. Thanks

i have always loved your music forever💝... dancing this wonderful song at the disco..

I’ve always loved your voice and songs. The soundtrack of my youth ! The 80s was a great era. I loved it ! My son in law Glenn Rosborough done a great version of Small Town Boy I believe you enjoyed it too Jimmy. You are a wonderful talent and a great human. Keep on doing what you’re passionate about! Love from Derry City.

Thanks for this sing !!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I was 10 years old back than and just about to find out, who I was. And thanks to someone like you, I knew I wasn´t all alone in this world.🌈 Thank you so much!

Great song. Great video. Great message. And Jimmy still knocks that vocal out of the park.

So love this man. Everything he does, is with so much passion. 🥰

Jimmy your still a legend thanks for the music it’s class ❤
