Hi Richard, our first appearance on the show was Nov 21st 1972 and we continued every week until Jan 1st 1973 when that particular series came to an end. We also appeared on the all winners annual show and other special shows after that, and appeared 10 times in all, the last time was 1978. I left the band in 1980 and as far as I know the band are no longer performimg .Terry Webb originl lead singer.
Yours is the version I grew up with and I still love it. It's a timeless piece and IMHO has much more feeling in the vocals that the Jigsaw or Heywoods version. The three intertwining melodies towards the end of them song are just incredible. Thank you for this amazing contribution to 70s music.
Saw Candlewick Green at the Dolce Vita club in Newcastle when this number was a big hit. The writing talents of Clive Scott and Des Dyer plus the stand-out vocals of Terry Webb were a great combination. I also have "The Last Bus Home" as a 45 by Candlewick Green - great memories.
I saw this group at baileys night club in the seventies very entertaining their comedy routines were brilliant musically excellant. Loved them doing eight days a week. ❤️
Salute to you, sir. I like this version much better than the original. I'm used to Claude François' version in French, called On Est Qui On Est Quoi, which is great too
Saw these guys on South pier Blackpool July 1974 on their summer season show following the success of their opportunity knocks appearances. Where's all the live cabaret gone, its like live music is nothing but a dream.... So sad
Classic Musical Group! Classic Recording! Classic Song! I Love Candlewick Green's Version! I Love Bo Donaldson's and The Heywood's' Version and Jigsaw' s Version Equally!
There used to be a clip of you at Bridlington which was hilarious, what happened to that? Did you also do a season at Blackpool tower in the 1980’s/ 1990’s?😊
I was 10yrs old wen I 1st heard this. Loved it ever since & Candlewick Green. Wasn't that the name of 'Watch With Mother' kiddies programme frm the l8 60's? ❤
What a supreme example of just how good Pop music can be...it's got it all, I could talk about this all day, given half the chance, but, best of all, it never, ever dates...it's 1974 forever....it's a truly awesome piece of work...
From Terry Webb the singer on Candlewick Green version. We had the same manager as Jigsaw and both groups were in the same studio mixing and recording songs when we heard Jigsaw mixing this song. I knew it would be a hit and asked them if it was going to be their next single because if not could we have it to which they replied - it was either this one or another one called " too many fish in the sea" we waited nearly a week for them to decide that we could have it and that is when we released it and their version went on their album. Terry
Terry Webb. Saw Candlewick Green at the Dolce Vita in Newcastle when this was a hit. Great song by Scott and Dyer of Jigsaw. Still remember it after all these years, which proves how good it was!
Hi Terry .. is that really you :) gosh I often wondered how you were and what you were up too .. brought a tear of joy when I came across this .. where are you ? please answer xx
Terry Webb, thanks for clearing that one up! I first heard you guys play this on TOTP & then saw you at Blackpool in the early eighties & I always thought it was your own song. I always thought Jigsaw covered it as I saw them many times - local band to me - & they always played it. I never realised that Des Dyer co-wrote it. Great song & great band Candlewick Green by the way!
Hello ! I am thrilled to read all your messages! My Uncle was in the band the drummer...... Fab voices and a great mix ... never got that final break xxxx
After listening to the other version, I have to say Candlewick Green owns this song. (no disrespect meant to Jigsaw) The lead singer, the music, the harmonizing, absolutely sublime! Definitely was and still is one of my favourite songs ever
Candlewick Green were one of the few bands to score 100 on the 'clapometer' on Op Knocks. This song by Jigsaw's Clive Scott (RIP) and Des Dyer is world class - why did it only reach No.21?
What a great pop tune. I have many fond memories of Candlewick Green performing at Warner's holiday centres during the summer of 1984. Nice bunch of fellas & funny too. They did a brilliant rendition of The Beatles - Long & Winding Road.
The tall guy with the glasses...His name is Jimmy Nunnen and used to work with my mum in a printing firm in Wallasey. He used to play 'Subbuteo' on his lunch hour with his colleagues, and when he left to play in the band; guess who he gave ALL his subbuteo game to? Yep...ME! Pitch, players, surrounds, everything! Thanks Jimmy...you made a young boy very happy!
This classic and beautiful song is one of my favorite songs! It was released in 1974 by Candlewick Green! I was born in 1978. Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods recorded this song in 1975. I like both versions the same! Thank you for posting and sharing this.
The first time I seen and heard Candle Wick Green was on a talent show .I have never forgotten the smiling singer with that song " Who Do You Think You Are" I'm glad for You tube to revisit my favourite. CWG, You will never be forgotten.
Despite this being Jigsaw's song, I think this version is the best. It has a more luxurious sound and IMO better vocals. I bought this on its release in 73/74 and played it to death.
This is still the best out of the 3 original versions of this, with Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods coming in a close second! But I grew up in South Africa, and this was the version played there, so perhaps it's just 'cos I'm more famliar with this one!
Oh I fond the right one... Love that song and remind me of a happy time. That song was playing again and again in my head. And I didn't remember who it was that was singing.. Oh happy day for me.
You got that right. For some reason oldies stations won't play any version of this awesome song. Hopefully someday a station manager gives it another chance...
I loved this song and remember the band performing it on Crackerjack! If memory serves it received heavy airplay on Radio Luxemburg too, deservedly so. St. Etienne did a reasonable cover, their Bob Stanley certainly knows how to pan for and find gold!
Oldies stations typically only have a repertoire of about 500 songs that's why you won't hear songs like this one on the radio. Our local radio station (WGRR, Cincinnati) is good and the DJ's try hard but they can't play this type of stuff. That's why I copy them from here on to my iPod. Other great British songs you don't hear all on the radio - Pickettywitch - "It's Like a Sad Old Kinda Movie" and Colin Bluntstone - "Say You Don't Mind". They are both on TH-cam.
Pleased to have found this,my wife was talking about the song of the same title by The spice girls and i told her i could remember an earlier song when i was at primary school,she had never heard it before but quite likes it.Great to hear it again.
I am the drummers neice.... despite breaking Hughie Green's Clapmometer, and writing for other successful bands they never got the big break.... although they got to 26 in the charts
Did anyone know that this was actually written by Clive Scott and Des Dyer of the band 'Jigsaw'.... Who later had the worldwide hit with 'Sky High'. Great songs that bring back good memories......

I totally loved this song.. What a voice xxx

Always believed this version (by far the best) deserved to be much higher on the charts. It's deceptively simple yet hauntingly beautiful.
thanks Charlie.
There used to be a clip of you at Bridlington which was hilarious, what happened to that? Did you also do a season at Blackpool tower in the 1980’s/ 1990’s?😊
I loved thank you 🎉
Reminds me of some very happy times in the 70's, when life seemed a lot less complicated!
Great tune, i remember it well when it was in the UK charts in 1974 and i was 12 years old, there is something rather special about 70's music. 🙂
I was 10yrs old wen I 1st heard this. Loved it ever since & Candlewick Green. Wasn't that the name of 'Watch With Mother' kiddies programme frm the l8 60's? ❤
@@jacquelinefitzwilliam-carr9673 Hi Jacqueline no, you are geting mixed up with Camberwick Green, it's an easy mistake to make though. ;-]
Yea, I checked it was Camberwick Green. Me thinx it mighten av been a take on Camberwick Green. As they couldn't have used that name. 😊
I was 24 in 1974...what a special year for me! The 70's was a spetacular decade...
What a supreme example of just how good Pop music can be...it's got it all, I could talk about this all day, given half the chance, but, best of all, it never, ever dates...it's 1974 forever....it's a truly awesome piece of work...
Great comment - with you all the way there!
Makes you feel really good inside,and happy. Might be 60 now play this and I'm back inside my youth club.
From Terry Webb the singer on Candlewick Green version.

Hi Terry .. is that really you :) gosh I often wondered how you were and what you were up too .. brought a tear of joy when I came across this .. where are you ? please answer xx
What a truly great decision you made...you can be genuinely proud of this track...
Great voice, Terry, wonderful song, glad the Jigsaw lads let you all release it as a single!

Fantastic pop song. Love this version. Great memories.
For me, this is the best version as I love the singer's voice. Emotional. just a great song whoever sings it best.
Fledgling thanks - Terry Webb the singer on this version.
Please, listen the Saint Etienne version. Thanks.
@@theterrywebb listening in July 2019 I love this for me it's fantastic
Yes, 100% agree
thank you so much; I posted a live version of me singing this on the Candlewick green comedy group FB site three months ago.
Hello ! I am thrilled to read all your messages! My Uncle was in the band the drummer...... Fab voices and a great mix ... never got that final break xxxx

I love this song they never make music like this anymore I really miss it 💕
Lovely old song - bitter/sweet - the lyrics are sad and resonate ; but the melody makes you happy. Thanks for sharing
Candlewick Green were one of the few bands to score 100 on the 'clapometer' on Op Knocks. This song by Jigsaw's Clive Scott (RIP) and Des Dyer is world class - why did it only reach No.21?
great to see a comment from the actual vocalist on this great track - i hope you are keeping well terry :)
HI EVERYONE im the grandson of Alan Leyland the drummer :D
You right to be proud...
Hi!
Brilliant.!! 🌹🥂💐
You should be proud, I agree, I remember the group on the club circuit, fabulous record should have set the group onto even bigger things!!
How fantastic!
Oh the memories come flooding back 👍👍👍👍
Could have been written for me to my ex.Very prophetic and very true.A brilliant song.
One of my favourite 70's songs of all time, pure brilliance
Another song that brings my happy times back from the 70s
Candlewick Green the best version IMO...Memories of when I was 14 years old.
I was Candlewick Green's roadie for many great fun years. Great bunch of guys.
Colin Gwynn-Adams Colin just thought I'd say hello- Terry Webb.
@@theterrywebb Only just saw your reply mate (from 2 years ago!). What are you up to?
bring back memories of past youth..............where did those days go to.
takes me back to the short jeans and doc martetns, lol
Get me a time machine now!!!!!
Oh how I love this, 70's pop at its best :)
What a great pop tune. I have many fond memories of Candlewick Green performing at Warner's holiday centres during the summer of 1984. Nice bunch of fellas & funny too.
They did a brilliant rendition of The Beatles - Long & Winding Road.
"Smashingly Super Sound from the Sensational Seventies". Magical Memories. 💜😪💔
Best version ever and another timeless classic?
Great song! This version was THE HIT in Scandinavia in the 70's.
Dance group, Saint Etienne also charted with this in 1993, with the flip-side, Hobart Paving - great song!!
a really catchy tune.
Oh the memories. What a time to be a teenager 😀
Man! This is a great song no matter who sings it. What happened to good pop music?
Sadly, there is no originality in popular music anymore. It's plagiarized by interpolation and sampling.
Takes you back to when I was a kid with a big family sadly a lot of them are gone love the song makes me feel sad stay safe ☃️🌲❄️🎄xx

Is no one listening to this great song great times I only found it by mistake I’m glad stay safe ☃️🌲❄️🎄x
This is an excellent timeless song.....
great song , if ever a song summed up early 1974 sounding songs this is it.
what a great song ... loved almost all the 70's with very fond memories ... X X
Remember seeing them on Opportunity Knocks, great song.
First time hearing this version. It's pretty good
love this record from 1974...can't beat the oldies I am afraid
super great song, great melody, good rythm.. A must .
The first time I seen and heard Candle Wick Green was on a talent show .I have never forgotten the smiling singer with that song " Who Do You Think You Are" I'm glad for You tube to revisit my favourite. CWG, You will never be forgotten.
Despite this being Jigsaw's song, I think this version is the best. It has a more luxurious sound and IMO better vocals. I bought this on its release in 73/74 and played it to death.
I saw them in 1975 in Bournmouth with my family
Best version without a doubt
Definitely agree. The best version by far. Luv. Luv this version & Camblewick Green. Named after Watch with Mother programmes me thinx. 😌
Abosouletly great !! !!! xxx 👍
What a pop song.. reminds me of great summer's . Up there with the Alessi Brothers Oh Lori.
I agree. Have you heard "All Night" by Christopher rainbow? Yet another classic from the 1970s of the bubble-gum pop genre.
Loved the Alessi Brothers. Had their poster on my bedroom wall. 😍🥰
oh my god used to be in fan club!!!! so long ago but we loved them
Great song I was eleven when it came out..
What A Supreme Monumental Classic Memory From These Great Artists.
Remember This Like It Was Only Yesterday
Thank You For This Amazing Track.
I remember listening to this song in my past life. Good ole time.
This is still the best out of the 3 original versions of this, with Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods coming in a close second! But I grew up in South Africa, and this was the version played there, so perhaps it's just 'cos I'm more famliar with this one!
good song and brought to a whole new audience in the 90s when Saint Etienne covered it!!

If they played songs like this on the radio, I would listen to the radio, but they don't.
Saw them sing this at The Willows (Salford rugby club) really good band.
I've played on Allen's kit in May Duncan s.toshy Liverpool
Oh I fond the right one... Love that song and remind me of a happy time. That song was playing again and again in my head. And I didn't remember who it was that was singing.. Oh happy day for me.

Who do think you are, remember Hughie green introduction for candlewick green,teenager then,great track,memories live on
The connection with band Jigsaw is interesting, as Sky High by Jigsaw and Who Do You Think You Are are two of my favourite records!
Such a great song from a top act.
ohh!what memories!:-)
+Jennydevon Weatherley yes great tune great times
Still got 7" single & STILL sounds good 2day.
Great happy song by one hit wonders candlewickgreen. They only had 1 song which made the uk charts.
Impressively good song for just an 'ordinary' band. Shows how much talent there was around on the streets in Britain in those days.
top song from way back
Got autographed LP !!!

Back in the day when Pop Bands played their ow instruments I sure miss those days
Time for a fresh version of this timeless song.
I am the drummers neice.... despite breaking Hughie Green's Clapmometer, and writing for other successful bands they never got the big break.... although they got to 26 in the charts
This alone should have been number1 fabulous vocals, excellent words, and well put together.
this is the best version...the brass/horn construction and the backing choir..just awesome
Fantastic song 😊*
This is a great feel good song this....a very good cover of Jigsaw's Thank you for posting 45rpmSINGLES
saw these at bridlington in 82 great ....
fantastic
Did anyone know that this was actually written by Clive Scott and Des Dyer of the band 'Jigsaw'.... Who later had the worldwide hit with 'Sky High'. Great songs that bring back good memories......
Oh man how I love this song!
Heard it David. Can't beat a good pop song. Cheers.
