I love this song....it is one of my favorite songs of the 70's.

Does anyone else like it?

Does anyone know if "Ace" had any other hits?

It was their only hit here stateside. Reached #3 back in April of 1975.

Their lead vocalist was Paul Carrack who eventually was the lead singer in Squeeze for a short time and also in Mike + The Mechanics.

I love this song! Gotta be in my Top 10 70s Song Faves list!

For years I thought this song was done by HALL AND OATS, hahaha

The funny thing about this song is a lot of people would assume its a guy asking his girlfriend "How Long Has This Been Going On?", meaning how long has she been cheating on him, when actually the song is about one of the guys in the band "cheating" on ACE by playing with another band that he eventually "left them" for!

Nice piece of trivia mama. I never knew that.

I never knew that either...I definately thought it was a cheating song about a woman.

Wow, they only had one hit here? You learn something new every day... Also, I thought they were from the USA. They're from Great Britain.
