Fantastic talent, today’s musicians could learn a lot from this guy. His lyrics are very poetic and his sound is unique he is not afraid to try something different🥰🥰🥰🥰
I've worked in radio my whole life and now am retired. I have had several strokes, seen many, many bands - but before I pass the one thrill in my life would be able to see Roy Wood in concert. The man amazes me!
Saw Wizzard live 3 times. The first time at Blackpool was amazing. I got to meet all the band in the dressing room but shows got shorter and shorter and progressively worse. He was on and off stage in 45 minutes at Southport in 74. Sad really. Wizzo band were awful but his big band reincarnation has been great. However, he has now stopped performing I think. I have stopped being a fan if he cant be bothered to tour.
Not enough credit is given to Roy Wood. He’s the mad scientist up at all hours of the night germinating what would eventually evolve into the Electric Light Orchestra.
Roy is my favourite weirdo, and I mean that in the best possible way. His hair, make up, clothes and lyrics were always so unique and I will forever love him 🥰
Flowers In The Rain was the first record played on Radio One. Tony Blackburn was the DJ. I had to leave the house by 7am to catch two buses to get to school ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
living through the sixties explosion of British rock through to this day, the the British rock scene was inspiringly best and most creative in the whole of the world to many with to many to mention male and female included, most people from the USA are gobsmacked when they learn their favourite rock band is not American but British and probably the top 10 are all British Roy wood was to me an exceptional shy musical artistic talent and co creator with Jeff Lynn and the others of ELO but there hits when they where the move are rarely spoken of which is a shame really, he went solo later and had a great career with wizard in the UK and else where i salute Roy as one of my musical hero's of the 20th century alongside any that's mentioned by any one. your memory will live on in your music for ever Roy
I got an old Alto sax in 1973, and I actually dressed up as Roy Wood that Halloween, Face painted sweet, and for the hair I used my Mum's Fur coat in strips :) I would have killed for a camera that night!!
ELO’s first rendition with Roy played at what was called Jack Murphy Stadium, after a football game. Geesh, that was 1974? 75? I was still in high School. I loved The Move LOOONG before I ever even heard of ELO…
I remember coming out and admitted liking The Electric Light Orchestra in Technical Drawing class to my friend Richard. That was the equivalent to suicide in the eighties when you were just settling in to Senior School, but he then went on to recommend I listen to The Battle of Marston Moor and Here is the News. We didn't notice that our teacher was standing behind us listening in.. Mr Watkinson didn't tell us off for slacking, he let go of our throats (metaphorically) and proceeded to give the class a lecture on the [his words] "Genius Roy Wood" for about 30 minutes. That's how to teach 11 year olds (the other 26 kids in the class were probably bored & drawing cocks on the desks with tipex or writing BROS on their shirt). That is a long way of saying Woody is the best and always has been.
Had a similar experience in History class aged 11 when the teacher we all hated noticing my festival badge asked me in front of the class..'How were the (Jefferson) Airplane?'..wow..now he's great and was from then on.!
When I REALLY noticed Roy, it was an early 70's TOTP appearance from Wizard, and WOW! He jumped right out of the telly with his look and sound. An instant HERO! And remained so behind a lot of things I do with sound. I think, despite limitations of the studios being used, he was better at getting a Phil Spectre wall of sound than Spectre did? And that facepaint lok with Wizard? Still inspires many an event performace art night yet in me. He both encompassed classy recreations of classic rock n roll sound, yet injects it all with his own stamp. Now that is not an easy thing to do. Most folk come out like cheap copies (most modern college trained bands?) rather than the clever collages of influences that Roy employed, from Spctre to Jerry Lee Lewis, to the Beatles.
Amazing how in the 60s and 70s people used to finish one band and grow another successful band. Nowadays you would be lucky if you got one successful group to be in
Roy has stated that it was his crooked manager (Sharon Osbourne's dad) that convinced him to leave ELO...Roy and Jeff never had a falling out and are still friends according to both men.
Loved everything about The Move ! Much more than that ( overrated) Liverpool mob from yeah same city ! 😢 14:34 🎉yeah grew up to know the difference! Move were magic : the Beatles were just. On Another level !
This TV program is from 2002 and the Roy Wood's Mega Dance Orchestra project wasn't recorded... :-( Does anyone know where can I find the Spektacular song?
Nice guy. Please no glam rock. I'll be over Tonight if you think you might and this Time tomorrow, looking back. the Move did a fantastic job with Paxton's 'The Last Thing on my Mind'.
I was hoping to find out how he got with Annie Haslam of Renaissance, Northern Lights was apparently about her missing Roy, come on Roy spill the beans.
I believe they met while both working at the same recording studios - I actually interviewed Annie, and she talks about her time with Roy - The interview is here cherryblossomclinic.x10.mx/annie.html
It was a BBC programme called Colour Me Pop - there are several songs from it on TH-cam The whole show was on there sometime ago, but I think it may have been deleted
Thats a ridiculous statement Pam. He is great - but Jeff is a genius - not lyrically but as composer of music. His musical backdrops to those hits from 1972 to 1983 are top drawer as good as The Beatles, Phil Spector or any of the classical greats. Sure he cannot sing that good but neither can Bowie. ELO need to be ranked up firmly with Bowie, Queen and any 70s bands. But Pam, Wood is great, no doubt and could have been Lennon to Jeffs, MaCartney if he had stayed as he was a good songwriter,

You just described me (although it's only one stroke and I'm still in radio)...
@@SkeebWilcox Hang in there! You'll find it'll ultimately be a blessing - at least it was for me.
@@SkeebWilcox you all need to take juice plus
Saw him before COVID. He was great.

A parody on Penny Lane too.
Mr Wood!! One of the most inventive, innovative and remarkable singer/songwriters - EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unbelievable!!!!! Rocklegends like Noddy introduce Roy!!!!!! What a great story!!!!!!! Thank's so much!!!! :-)
Not to forget STR & CT
Roy Wood is a hero.
So multi-talented with such a beautiful voice.

Thank you for this fabulous Documentary of a favourite of mine! Brilliant!
What a genius of a man.
My favourite group, Wizzard, when I was a kid. Absolutely loved em!

Да. Такие голоса - большая редкость!
Roy is my favourite weirdo, and I mean that in the best possible way. His hair, make up, clothes and lyrics were always so unique and I will forever love him 🥰
Loved the Move even more. He was so talented. Stick to rock roy forget salsa
Many hapy memories of songs, gigs, conventions and travel to see Roy back in the 90s. Happy days.

What a great talent and was lucky enough to meet him backstage in the mid 90s. The Move are my favourite band from 60s
It is totally beyond me why this man has not been knighted for his services to music..
A fabulous talented nan
All Roy woods singles were great. Lovely them all. Loved wizard !!!
Roy Wood is awesome!
Roy Wood seems like a really nice guy.
I got an old Alto sax in 1973, and I actually dressed up as Roy Wood that Halloween, Face painted sweet, and for the hair I used my Mum's Fur coat in strips :) I would have killed for a camera that night!!
I love Roy Wood and 20 or so years ago i saw him live fantastic performance
My era, my birthplace, my hero.
Brilliant! There is a vid of California Man floating amuck, I never knew he was swapping Vox with Jeff!
ELO’s first rendition with Roy played at what was called Jack Murphy Stadium, after a football game. Geesh, that was 1974? 75? I was still in high School. I loved The Move LOOONG before I ever even heard of ELO…
One of my rock heroes along with Jeff lynne ray davies reg Presley and Paul McCartney
My favourite Roy Wood (appearance on) track was 10538 Overture ELO. Its sad Roy didn't stay with ELO.
I play and do Karaoke with those songs…. The move 4 EVER… I love you guys
Great show and thanks
The kings of Christmas music!

Roy Wood looks great!!!
I remember the Cedar club, been too the Belfry. Great days. Roy Wood fucking brilliant.
My first ever record Brontosaurus Roy Wood Is a legend .
Good looking Roy Wood brillisnt
Roy was only on one ELO album the first one, Jeff wrote "10538 overture" and Roy got the credit, I met Roy a few times and what a lovely guy he is
He played on a few tracks on the 2nd ELO album
Amazing how in the 60s and 70s people used to finish one band and grow another successful band. Nowadays you would be lucky if you got one successful group to be in

I love that he named his daughter Holly! 😂
Forgot about blackberry way great song
Loved everything about The Move ! Much more than that ( overrated) Liverpool mob from yeah same city !

Move were magic : the Beatles were just. On Another level !
Thank you for sharing!
CT knaws the score no1 best crimbo song ever ;)
Love Roy Wood
I think there have only been two "musical geniuses" and one of them is Roy Wood...
the other is Jeff Lynne
Brilliant!
I have Roy's autograph!
This TV program is from 2002 and the Roy Wood's Mega Dance Orchestra project wasn't recorded... :-( Does anyone know where can I find the Spektacular song?

2 very talented musical Midlanders

Do you have the Tony iommi / Black Sabbath episode?
No. Sorry, Wish I had recorded them all now
Fantastic. Thanks. Shame about the tilted camerawork. must have been by the same guy that does the toothpast ads.
Does anyone know what program the live versions of Flowers In The Rain, Blackberry Way, and Fire Brigade come from?
It was a BBC programme called Colour Me Pop - there are several songs from it on TH-cam The whole show was on there sometime ago, but I think it may have been deleted

Thanks for uploading! Apparently they also did an episode on Tony Iommi and Black Sabbath, is it also available online?
I don't have it but I just found this that someone has uploaded th-cam.com/video/tOfslFsFyY8/w-d-xo.html
omg i wanna hear the whole salsa album!!!!!!! is that out there anywhere?
Amazing! Do you at all have any more rock legends episodes?
No, Sorry, wish I did
@@manintheclinic That’s alright. Thanks for letting me know. Have a good day :)
Brummies all about lol
Bit disappointed with that seeing i am a major ELO fan......
Always liked wizard E L O were like a Beatles tribute band
me two
More important than the Beatles ( blasphemy)
So many of Roy's early songs were about mental illness.
Sorry but, Roy far superior to Jeff Lynne by loads...

Roy writing hits before Jeff and Noddy.
@@andshits He sure was :-)
@@lavertera Only for Roy Wood inviting Jeff to join the move what would of happened to Jeff lynne no don arden management ?.
@@andshits Roy Would have got the recognition he deserves that's for sure. Jeff Lynne got all his off the back of Roy :-(
