Rob Townsend -- drums and percussion.
I remember buying this single from the round record shop in Chrisp Street Market, Poplar, East London in 1972, i was 12 years old, no Donny Osmond or David Cassidy for me thank you very much.
Family at their peak. Magnificent.
Absolutely NOBODY has a voice like Chappo !
I remember dancing across the floor on ICU on night duty to this brilliant track back in 1976/7. I’m now 81 and still love it. Those were the days.
Time to dance again, my lady : 81 is the new 50 💃
One of the great basslines!!
John Wetton....Yes!!!
Cracking 70's rocker ! love it , the only front man who gave Noddy Holder a run for his money.I may be 66, but this song gets me up on my feet,
effing brilliant I glad Iwas alive then.
This band are my favourite band of all time, and this track, absolutely love it, defy anybody to listen to this and not dance, album bought for me when I was 15, 1972
Yer I'm 66 and remember going to see them still has to be one of the best voices ever Chris Hill
While working at Radio Rentals Salford I heard Alan ??? trying to sing it, ha ha!
Vincent Jones of Sweet Sensation,2 work stations down from me (Phil Kelly aka Lionel) repairing VHF/UHF tuner units wasn't impressed.
It's always stuck in my head , happy days !
Great tune 👍🤓.
Roger Chapman in his day could give any lead vocalist a run for their money !!!
That bass line though… I played this tune at my first gig and tried to get all the elements of it together. Needless to say, at 15 I struggled to come close. Still loved it, and do to this day. It was the first song I tried to play that wasn’t just “play the root notes behind the guitar” and opened up my eyes and ears to something better.
I was blown away the first time I ever heard this and it isd just as great today, how lucky we were to be born early enough to have bands like this as part of our story.
Saw them London they sounded as good live as in the studio
@@grahamturner97 I believe he lives full time in Germany now. I used to have this as a ringtone on my phone once.
Electric flag
Nothing like this today Ron, brilliant
The most under appreciated band of their era. Roger Chapman's Vocal....instantly recogniseable, the arrangements, the musicianship, the space, the playing.....should have been Giants, 😜✌️
Roger Chapman's voice sounds as if he gargles with razor blades and whisky. I saw him with the Shortlist at Victoria. Great night.
i know it is quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to watch newly released series online?
All of the forgoing. Im 75 and listening to this, as I oftendo, brings back terific memories.
A blast so good to hear I'm 65 now.....It still does it
I'm 59. Loved this and "In My Own Time" when I was around 15/16. Where've the years gone?
me too also
Still love family, but have been hooked on Steely Dan for ever and a day, fabulous to hear this again
Ah so another 65 year old ha ha, I wore juke boxes out playing this
Snap at ya...
This used to bang out on the jukebox in my favourite watering hole in the 70s. Back room full of my long haired peers, we would turn the volume up ourselves, that jukebox was full of epic music like this, what a time to live!!
This is a classic - I listen to it on a regular basis - has to be one of the best tunes ever!!!
One of my all-time favourite records, funky in a unique way... I never tire of it. Thanks for posting!
my mate had band stand couldn,t stop playin it such great memories from that bygone era boy do i miss those days great friends great gigs don,t think it will ever be repeated ever again
This has got power , balls , and Chapman. Should have been No 1 for 15 years.
A unique rock sound
Deserves more airplay
I went to school with his sister Brenda 😀😀😀😀
Brilliant track. I still have the original vinyl lp
:) Hope your doing well !
One of the most underrated British bands of the 60s/70s and this was the most unexpected hit single. Very hard to categorise them, but go after their discography and find gems.
I remember this track from 72 I was 18 still a great song.
This is a rockin track so far ahead of it`s time. Still stands tall today.
Blessed to have seen them live a few times. They were on a par with the best live acts of the time and wonderfully unique.
what a voice! my era, fantastic
Family were truly purely rock n fucking roll........ Burlesque.......... AWESOME!!!!!
Rock meets Funk, unique music ......very funky !!
saw them live so many times... what a band... epic... and yes im an old fart (best time in music tbh) haha
neil banks well I bless you and I wish I too was there even though I'm nearly 60.. I do know this band even though it was I was in my late teens.. but just like the rest of the hippy best...
Hers from another old fart you are so right,happy days
I'm the same age & we had the best time of it. So many great British bands & singers. Chapman was up there with Marriott, Rodgers & Cocker. A great singer!
I am 53 and my older sister brother played this to death when i was a youngster. I was 8 years old and this song was all over my house as a kid and i loved it. I was more 80s generation but this is one of the first "adult" songs that i genuinely liked. As akid i always thought the lead singer sounded like a villian lol. Later got into Jazz, Jazzfunk, Soul, hip hop and all the stuff that was "trendy" Only as years went by did i start listening to Family again in my late 30s and realized i had become a bit of a Jazzfunk bore. Now i enjoy all sounds and styles from yesteryear which had actually influenced the stuff i consumed in the 80s, i just didnt know it at the time.
Maybe an old fart ( me too ) but we have perfume music taste !!
Triggers exactly the same emotions in me as 40 years back. Amazing.Such great music.
Saw Roger and Family lived in Hyde Park in 1968 I think. Raw power and a great set list.
This is one great song- I woke up with just the descending guitar riff in my head today- spent all day tracking it down- and here I am, I last heard this in the 70s- when I was in my teens, bloody good song then!! great song now!!
My grown-up kids are asking me why I keep asking this new-fangled 'Alexa' to play this track in our kitchen every morning this week - so I give a quick back story: 1973, loved it then, love it now, think only two other vocalists back then could have matched Roger Chapman's vocal, perhaps Joe Cocker, or Rod Stewart - "I got all my cards in one SHOE!!!"
Hi. I’d just like to put in a word for Terry Reid as well. If you haven’t already done so, you might lend an ear to his version of “Stay with me baby” of the album “Terry Reid” (1969, I think). Also off that album, in a more larynx-friendly style and more wistful tone, I think you might like the tracks July and Mayfly. One of them, can’t remember which, puts me in mind of Jose Feliciano. Enjoy. Btw this is in no way to detract from Chappo and Family, I was and still am a huge fan, it was impossible not to be once you’d seen them. I would have very much liked to attend one their recent “reunion” concerts as much to play a small part in bringing it home to the remaining members, and Chappo in particular, in what deep affection they have always been held by their fans, but unfortunately circumstances didn’t permit. One of my all -time greatest concert memories is of witnessing them, from the front row, play an extended version of Old Songs, New Songs. Now I’m a fan of high-tempo, no holds-barred rock a la The Who, so when ( and I still find this hard to believe) they actually OPENED their set with a supercharged 10 or 12 minute version of what, to my mind, is a first-choice finale song... well, I couldn’t believe my luck! My right calf muscles were sore for a couple of days afterwards because I’d been tapping my foot so hard. No, Family were something else. Btw why don’t you treat your kids to My Friend The Sun, for Family in a different mood? Just a thought. Bye.
1972 I wasthoughas 16 😮I COULD BE WRONG though 😁Bloody 66 now 😣GREAT BAND & Thire BEST track 👍g
What a voice - I remember them when I was at my last year in school - a unique sound and never equalled
What a voice, what a band...fantastic memories.
Just overlooked by all as Led Zep & then queen blew the music scene away at that time, they are as good as any and Chappo's voice is unique. LEGENDS.
Absolutely , went to Uni in Leicester , classic local band !
Queen don't deserve to be considered in the same category - they were shit!
@@trockfield77 I think your being very harsh, no Queen are not at all the same thing at all as as classic bands of this era like Family, Free, Curved Air and all of the brilliant others, I was never a Queen fan but they were incredibly good and some of thier stuff was wonderful like Seven Seas of Rhye

@@trockfield77 true x
Our local Leicester lads ‘brill , Chappo one of the great rock voices 🇬🇧🎼
Brilliant sound and totally evocative. This music stands the test of time - I wonder how much of today's dross will still sound as good in 47 years.
No wonder we rocked and gave it what fettle back in the days where there was no let up ! Just think about it we were spoilt rotten with fantastically long lasting bands that's never been 4gotten and shouldn't ever be !
Thought i was so cool leaving woolies with this album tucked under my arm so many years ago ..seems like yesterday.
saw them many times, i never tire of their music, i'm 72 now, great memories.
I still love this album (BANDSTAND). It remains fresh, and I think, for me, it's a real testimonial to the power of originality in music: Don't sound like anyone else, or anything else. Make a point of being unlike anything else in existence at the time of making. Do everything so wrong that it sounds right (after several repeated frustrating attempts to grasp it). I suppose every true fan of music has some touchstone like this, something tattooed on the brain, no matter the era, but personally, I'm truly thankful for material like this, that it came along between the bloated blues rock of the late 60s and the preposterous excesses of a lot of the art rock that was concurrent with the original output of this very band. Sandwiched between noxious tarry layers of dross on offer from the above-mentioned offenders, rare elements, not yet on the periodic table, were being mined by pioneering visionaries like FAMILY. It heals me. It saved me.
Wow yungun yuv got it just like me and millions more ? Being lucky and not realising wad dee but it's great we can relive owa 50 years ago anytime and the lift it gives is magical!!!!!
I love this track. I am afraid I don't know the album
@@robinwilson1433it's called Bandstand..
Leicester's finest without a doubt, awesome Me'duck's
The Best Single EVER released!Fantastic,Magical,wonderful!!
Different vocals , Rn'b at its best, musically excellent, something different, 50 years on this still makes me enjoy music
The bit that Cowell wouldn't get is the raw and unpolished production that gives it a distinct sound. What a voice!
Don't mention that name in conjunction with genuine music from real creative talented people please.
The only person who knows LESS about music is Louis F!ck !n Walsh.
Brilliant, so many memories
great song from an underrated band!
Love this tune!
I was in a damp tent at a damp festival when this floated over the sound system and i floated over to the source and found...... i got all my cards in one shoe, but it sure aint done me no harm
wow love this brought back memories the intro fabulous
Great memories of this song and others of theirs , The Weavers Answer was sublime .
Unique, rock at its best, Roger Chapman, what a voice.
That riff !
So funky, I'm amazed it hasn't been sampled.
Indeed. Sexy, funky, sublime.
Me too ! What a riff , begging to bé sampled, some people got no taste....😢
Ah the memories this evokes, a college disco, each week when this started to play the same girl came to dance to this one song with me *sigh*
The only person who knows LESS about music is Louis FUCKIN Walsh.
Chapman 1980 Hitchin Hertfordshire I grew up listening to Family, Fleetwood mac, Traffic etc (had an older brother) Chappo was amazing didn't need a mic what a voice.
so far ahead of their time and so forgotten. tragedy.
The Goat at his most electric !
I can remember hear the song playing on the radio in the seventies. Takes me back to being four.
My cousin Colin was well into them and my first memories of the band was him playing Family Entertainment for me. I was blown away if a 13 year old can be. Saved up to buy Bandstand. In my mind they never made a bad album. Saw them on the farewell tour, brilliant band.
Fantastic group, amazing vocals, remember when they released "In My Own Time", it was awesome.
Loved this band used to hitch all over to see them - very original. I remember standing in a hallway really hot, and Roger walked by and said a few words, to my eternal shame I was tongue tied grrrr.
Bandstand was their magnum opus. Every song is different, and brilliant.
This was in the top ten at one stage, It was my tonic to pop music because it was not main stream, loved it, still do.
Such a new brand of music (at that time)..my friends couldn't understand back in the late 60's...early 70's..."his voice is strange"! No no that's his expression! love 'em...a great band...
Unique style, not bogged down by commercialism. As said underrated
Loved This Then Loved It Still Now
Awesome. Still love it. Music with feeling.
..what a band and what a time... :-)
Still amazing 40 years on!
what a tune,,everytime l listen to this , my wife always complains about my constant humming of this great sound long after ive listened to it,it stays in the mind long after it hits you,,
I remember this as a 14 year old.better than any shit these days.music for geezers not wimps
Not by any stretch of the imagination the handsomest bunch I ever saw live but without doubt one of the best live acts I witnessed
.
Unbelivable music.
Justfantastic. Family really did it their own way. Never copied or set aside. Brilliant.
One of best, if not the best live band around at the time.
Fabulous.....brings back great memories
Escuche a Family alla por 1968, lo que mas me impresiono fue la fantastica voz de Chapman, excelente grupo
God it's good! So much better than I even remember!
Worra voice, worra song. Miles in front of anything. Kind of wow!! Makes the beer go down better!
Something made me think of this song today. I don't think I've listened to it since 73? They use to play this on the KNAC in Long Beach CA.
Even at 15 when I first heard it ,I knew this was class
This takes me back,saw them in Lincoln in 72-73,brilliant!!!
This was played a lot on the radio just when I was first getting into music, when I was thirteen. I liked it then and I liked it now, especially for its guitar interplay.
I am proud to say I seen them in Lincoln ,Brilliant band, undrerated
fantastic group love song burlesque one of my first singles I brought
Coolest cafe music when I was 15. Still an amazing voice
Now thats what I call a lead vocal.

Well, I haven't heard this for a long time! Thank you!😁
Could never understand why they didn't get the recognition they so richly deserved. Followed them from 1972 (Eeek!) as a callow 14 year old then as they developed into Streetwalkers (after the eponymous Chapman-Whitney album) and I followed them all over the south of England after displacing myself from Scotland. What a great time, you truly don't know what you've got till it's gone.
a cross between Noddy Holder Joe cocker,,just a sublime rock number,
ROBERT - GOOD CONNECTION WITH NODDY HOLDER, YEP, DEFFO.
Saw them at the Night Owl in Leicester, 1967 - long gone all of it, but what an era. The night i saw them Rick Grech was on bass
+Anthony Mead Yep Night Owl Humberstone Rd. DJ Robin Holick I knew Ric Grech he lived near me on Rowlatts Hill estate-------They sure were good days
+David Allison Hi There, just to make things proper, The Night Owl was on Newarke Street, downstairs in an old factory; Burlesque was on Humberstone Road, in an old House/shop. Saw many legends, especially old soul and blues singers/bands. The Farinas (who later became Family) were the Burlesque 'house band. Such days.
saw their final tour in Swansea top rank. roger split his trousers. his voice second to none. love burlesque. happy days xx
could you imagine being able to see groups like thus today, what a day, what a day
epic, yes old fart, magic music and still here. the music and me.
Caught these guys near Detroit in the late 60's and they tore it up. Great band live and in the studio!
Coming back to the past and listening to this wonderful song.
Amazing. So Nice!
From brasil.
SUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPERB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am 67 ,now just got a new system ( vinyi of course,) still playing this.
