- One-hit wonders come no greater than Elvin Bishop's mighty 1976 hit Fooled Around And Fell in Love, featuring the stupendous vocals of Mickey Thomas. A worldwide smash, this magnificent single catapulted Elvin Bishop and group to international success, and this unseen live performance of a timeless classic is nothing short of magnificent
Mickey Thomas is one of the most underrated vocalists in rock. He is truly great.
Yup
No she's not!
Agreed!
I don't think he's Ever been 'underrated'🤷♀️.
agreed
Elvin Bishop was born to write and perform this song and Micky Thomas was born to sing this song. My life has been blessed by that confluence of incredible talents
You are so right!
That's so true.
It's "Mickey" (not "Micky")
No One could have done it better other than God so God sent Elvis Bishop & Micky Thomas.
Mine too I agree whole heartedly.
Ahhhh......the incredible voice and vocal range of Mickey Thomas! Still one of my favorite voices of the 70's!
He's great isn't he?
Next to Steve Perry one of the best voices of the 70s
Elvin Bishop sitting on a bail of hay he aint good looking but he sure can play
Frankly, I was disappointed in his performance here. E.B. shows why he headlines the band.
@@tbartels9821 I read the story about this song, Elvin Bishop of course wrote it but didn't feel as though he had the chops singing wise to do the song justice, so he asked one of his backup singers to do it and that's how we have a very young Mickey Thomas singing this song and I think Mickey hit it out of the ball park, but Elvin's guitar licks and his overall playing I think he's awesome but this song Mickey killed it, there are a bunch of much better live ones than this one I found a few their definitely on here
Elvin was to sing this and said,NO this song deserves a better voice than mine and they got THEE best voice...Mickey Thomas
Agree. Mickey's THEE best but Rod Stewart does a great rendition of it & the lyrics are just spot-on for his image. th-cam.com/video/Z4RmgDa5_dI/w-d-xo.html
One of the greatest voices of the rock era!!!!
That's Micky Thomas from Starship, it's an Elvin Bishop song but he knew vocally he couldn't pull off this song, but he sure knew Micky Thomas could and damn he hits a Home run with this TIMELESS CLASSIC
Nice share by the way, thank you
Very reminiscent of an early Graham Bonnet while with The Marbles
@@andrewlonghurst5110 I'm so sorry Andrew I never heard of him before, my Godson's name is Andrew I call him Drew for short, thank you very much for sharing that as I like to learn something new like that, thank you very much and have a great summer
Yes, Mickey Thomas had an iconic Rock voice!
This is an amazing song. The more you listen to it the better it gets.
Amen brother, been listening since 1976
Taylor Swift-eat your heart out.
F t s
Mickey Thomas has more talent in his little toe nail than Taylor Swift will ever have 😂
Mickey Thomas……..Awesome singer.
The person singing is actually Elvin Bishop, Mickey Thomas left for starship before ‘77
@@PizzaGuy93 Not so…. That’s Mickey Thomas.
@@markgonzales8302 either way, both are phenomenal singers
Elvin Bishop is the guy on guitar Mickey Thomas is the singer.Mickey joined Starship in 1979
Mickey Thomas is one of the greatest singers of his age!
The vocals and range of Mickey Thomas are so incredible. I was an instant fan of his when I first heard this song. He also has incredible songs he sang with Starship including the mega hit from the movie Mannequin. He always seems happy and fun every time I see a performance of him. Keep it up Mickey you are truly awesome!!
NO AUTOTUNE! PURE TALENT!
One of the greatest songs in the history of rock!! Just step up to the microphone and blast out a song... with pure talent and style!
I believe that's us on Don Kirschner's Rock Concert...been looking for this video for quite a long time.. my horn arrangement..
Godbless
Grew up listening to Elvin, always a pleasure 2 hear again.
Don Kirshner Saturday night loved it great memories Thank you 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉 back in the 70s Wow awesome 👌 👍 💖 😍
Nice 👍
Thank you William you guys rocked it in the 70s and still today love this song awesome 👌 👏 👍 😊😊😊😊😊
Micky Thomas has best voice period!!
One of the best voices. And so does Brad Delp.
@@cmissshelleymichelle So many great voices of that era. Steve Perry, Freddie Mercury, now what do they have? Auto tune. These kids don't know what good music is if they don't listen to these old songs.
The smooth sound of Mickey’s voice and that dirty sounding guitar-pure Heaven!!
The year I changed boyfriends…the old was a player that discovered he loved me, but the new one and I fell in love fast! Engaged, then married…45+ years of making my heart flutter still💕💕💕
What did he play? Guitar? Bass? Drums? Keyboards?
Fantastic
He looked good theen
This tune gave me goosebumps at 15. Your hubby must be a pretty lucky dude!
Omgosh that's such a great story
Can you imagine Mickey Thomas and Steve Perry singing to getter, WOW
I'll settle for Reni Slais...
I gotta go back to the 70s and mail myself in a box to this guy
ARE WE LISTENING TO THIS IN 2023 ?
SHOULD BE.
And 2024! 😊
2024
2024!!!
Who’s here summer July 2024 🌺🪷🍀☀️🌟🪐💫
Don't know how many people would put Mickey Thomas as one of the all time best rock singers but after this performance I surely would. And EB just killing it on the lead is icing on the cake.
Michigan Alvin on this song are just truly amazing I wish we could go back to that time and place
Just one of my many favorites of the 70's😊
We definitely had the best music and bands ...
Still listening 🎧🎶 in 2023 😊
An instant and enduring classic! Mickey Thomas is amazing!
What a voice!!! Takes you right back to the AWESOME 70's
Love ❤️ 1970s music greatest music era ever
Yep…best times ever!
Well this song brings me to when I was 17 in1977 wow what fun I had
What was it about 1977 Martha? Was so fun then. Different times...
Mickey Thomas waiting on a Starship
The song cut across America and hit every heart's sweetspot. How this impeccable song and vocal and band did not hit number 1 is simply tragic. Every kid knew this song if they were music lovers. It was certainly in contention for the song of the decade. I loved it than and I love it even more today. This performance was live folks and it sounds like a studio recording. You can't touch this song with anything today in my opinion because it's iconic!
Your so right! I actually thought it hit No. 1. One of the best songs ever to me!
Yes, Mickey Thomas is killing this. Honestly, why is he not lauded as one of the greats? And this guitar solo is next level. What an outstanding performance by this band. Playing it live and being better then the recorded version is an actual thing that only exception bands can do.
Elvin Bishop was a underrated guitar player. I saw him in the 76 outdoor concert warm summer night. Excellent concert brought back good memories. Thank you for sharing
Thank you Sunny
Few people had the FEEL that deep. Many feelings in very few notes. Saw him every time he came near me in the 70s.
Back when music was great.
This is real music, great musicians, a beautiful era where only talent was worth it and not technology.
Downer snark. grow up.
My GOD! Mickey Thomas' voice is UNBELIEVABLE!
That guitar solo was so raw. It made this song. Soul music here.
I now understand the meaning behind “while My Guitar Gently Weeps”…..
Elvin Bishop is da bomb 🎸!! 😅
Elvin Bishop was no one hit wonder.
Agreed! One of THE GREATEST blues guitarists!
@@wayneu1233 I'm goin' fish fish, fish fish, fish fish fishin'. I'm goin fishin'; hook sinker and line! Now some folks say that fishin' on a Sunday's a sin. If a fish bites my line on Sunday, I'm gonna reel him on in...... Classic
Look there is just so much going on musically in this live version. Holy cow! You really can't single out anyone. They're all performing at extremely high levels they're on pitch. They're in time unbelievably playing well all in concert unbelievable.
Absolutely 💯 💯 💯 💯 ❤❤😊😊😊
Only Mickey Thomas can pull these vocals off the way the song was suppose to sound!!❤❤🎸🪘🎼🎤
The young lady backing him helps . She passed from cancer way too early
Mickey is a bad ass. Can still sing
He is totally 💯 awesome in doing this beautiful song! This was one of mine and my husbands songs when we dated and got married back in 1977! He recently passed away and left me but these songs like this bring his presence even closer to me! Thank you elvin Bishop group this song put you on the map where I came from! ❤❤just totally beautiful ! This will forever be one of greatest songs ever! Just absolutely love it 🥰 ❤️❤❤
Sorry for your loss ,My wife and I Married in 77 also ❤
😢😢 At the end of the day all we have is our memories and damn it hurts.
Sorry for your loss….😢
Great song from a great lead vocalist & Elvin Bishop's sitting on a bale of hay,ain't good looking but he sure can play!!! Thanks & RIP CHARLIE DANIELS!!!
I completely understand.. Got married in 81. I lost mine too. For many years I couldn't listen to a lot of music. It just hurt way, way too much😪
2023 and Mikey Thomas still does it, you got to love him, amazing!!!
Hell yeah My Brother!!!!!🥰♥️♥️
Great show in Tulsa last year
@@phineasyoungs6643Really?? Wow I missed out, darn it, very happy for you though…
Elvin, another oklahoma talent, cant beat mickey thomas.
What an awesome video, this is beyond Cool!!!! Thanks Micky Thomas and definitely thank you Elvin Bishop!!!!
indeed. one of the best vocal recordings in rock history.
This is, and will always remain as my most favourite song of all time. The song, the band, Elvin Bishop on guitar, Reni Slais Simon super backup vocals and the most talented rock vocalist IMHO is Mickey Thomas. God bless you for this amazing song that takes me back to when life for me, was so much more honest and simple. ❤
I am 77 years old and I love this song. A CLASSIC. Still today and forever.
Mickey Thomas, one of the greatest voices. This song is very awesome along with the other songs he has sang.
Killer in every way. What a band!!
That red Gibson 355 is a legend! Guitarist is awesome!
That’s Elvin. 👍🏻
So great to see an old classic like this with the real vocal and not something dubbed to the studio version...what a great performance, this takes me back .....
What a voice. I grew up on this song but, astoundingly, this is the first time I've seen him live. I thought, maybe, how good he was in the studio recording was a fluke and he couldn't possibly be that good live; was I wrong! Chills went through me. I wasn't prepared for just how good he was, he was even better live. His stage presence amped it up exponentially. Again, I say, what a voice!
Mickey Thomas, the most underrated vocalist in Rock music !! The guy still has a great voice in 2023
Was he part of the 80's band Starship? He looks like him a lot and his voice as well.
@@isabelbarragan2799
Yes, he replaced Grace Slick in 1979 for the Freedom At Point Zero album, and then Grace Slick rejoined shortly after and they made some iconic songs together, there’s voices blend amazingly well. Listen to Mickey’s voice on “Jane”
@@martron1962 Thank you Martron for the info and for pointing out to this "Jane" song, I've never heard it before and it's awesome. I love Mickey's voice. Cheers.
YESSS he was!!😊@@isabelbarragan2799
@@isabelbarragan2799
Yes he was
I loved Mickey in Starship!
Love this song meet my husband in 1977 this how I felt about him we have been 40 years still love this song
My absolute favorite song of ALL time! Ahhh Mickey! That voice! (Swoooon) 😂
Great Song! Damm I love the 70's music one of the greatest decades of hits!
Mickey's voice is still as strong as ever !!! From Cairo , GA !!
what an amazing voice Mickey Thomas has!
Mr Thomas had an amazing voice.
Still does.
A GEM …. I ♥️ this 😘 Mickey Thomas, Elvin Bishop.. Memories 🎉
This is my favorite song ever.. Mickey Thomas is amazing..
Elvin definitely wrote this and plays the heck out of his guitar but this song is just Mickey being Mickey, very Cool video
They use to play at the Bodega night club in the 70’s. They were great live!
I had the pleasure of seeing them at Knott’s Berry Farm, right after this came out. They rocked the house!
I am so thankful to have grown up as a teenager and then into my early 20's back in the day in the late 60's and early 70's to the best music, best bands, hottest looking and cool chicks ever to be seen in the whole wide world. Times I will always cherish and miss. Man, there was nothing like those times-babes-music and there never, ever will be again.
Mickey needs to keep the moustache!!
Please take me back to this time...I will behave , I promise .
Well, then it won't be much fun, will it?
@@kathyshimata1202 umm , ah , well um , yeah , you gotta point there...
I was 16 back then and loved this show, it was rare to see bands unless you could see them in concert, so it was a real treat. Thanks for ride back in time.
This kid can sing he rates with the best of all time and lays it down, right he knows how to sing a song. Unbelievable.
The extra you put in all the lyrics in the extra humming little vocals, it’s brilliant a lot of soul nobody ever will ever be able to sing, fooled around and fell in love like Mickey Thomas just like nobody will ever be able to say he ain’t heavy. He’s my Brother, like the guy in the hollies like nobody will ever be able to do behind blue eyes like Roger Daltrey and one of my favourite songs is Jane Mickey’s just a natural talent with a great vocal depth, and makes it look so easy
One of my favorite songs in 1976,10 us us forestry worker's went down Island to see Elvin Bishop in Naniamo, B.C. The show was cancelled as the plane was late,we went to drown our sorrows before heading home at a nightclub,half an hour later in walks the the Elvin Bishop group to play a few sets,what a night to remember. ❤ 🇨🇦 🍁
I've seen a few performances of this song, live, from the 70's to the 2000's and every time Mickey Thomas is solid and consistent in every performance. His voice doesn't seem to age. A lot of today's singers need to take notes on how he does it. That's how you sing live.
Confidence and presence along with talent… incredible!
Awesome live performance. This is music.
a lot of people Lost their virginity to this tune back in that Bicentennial Year 1976 😎
That range @ 3:30…. Mickey Thomas had a range that other singers dream of having! An all time fave!
He’s on the Mt. Rushmore of vocalists!
3:32 hitting a F5 like nothing
Nice.
I was 13 riding in the back of our station wagon, no seat belts, the windows down, the smell of summer, this song on the radio. The absolute best memories of being alive.
Warm and tender song for 💏 Lovers. Great rift.
My band Second Nature played for micky Thomas wedding at Cairo country club mick sat in and we played a lot of elven bishops band songs with micky what a great voice we got to harmonize with him it was a night to remember
I definitely fell in love with many women. Love this song. Wish I was many years younger.
I was 19 living in Germany. So many good memories. People knew instruments, no autotune.
Dear lord I love this song 😍
Me too hunnie... I'm gonna play it a few more times.
❤️ this1970s song
because we did.
I remember back in the 70's hearing that synchro guitar work just walking around and not really knowing what I was hearing but it was good.
I really liked it back then .... I knew it was special.... The guitar work is still amazing .
OMG....just love this song and Mickies talented voice!! I was just out of H.S., and man, what memories this brings back from that era for me!!!!
Like Charlie Daniels said..."He ain't good lookin' but he sure can play."
Absolutely love this video, Micky's just too Cool
Mickey or Brad Delp. Can't pick. Back in 79 I thought there were probably many of them.
I was wrong
Technique -> Mickey
Timbre - > Brad
Loved Elvin Bishop early on … in ‘76 this album came out. Just made me love him more. Strut your stuff, man!
Remember it's Mickey not Elvin.
I hear this song and I'm 16 in my old Ford again. I absolutely love it!!
Amen Brother 45 years ago ahh memories Love it 😊😊❤❤❤🎉
Lawd have mercy Mickey Thomas vocals the ad libs riffs & runs 🙌🏾🙌🏾 mixed with 🎸🥁🎷 they killed it!🔥🔥
Saw them in Lincoln Montana 1979. Full horn section! One of THE BEST concerts ever. Saw Mickey with Starship in 1983
Mickey Thomas before the Starship found him! Awesome!
It's amazing that most people who like this song think that Elvin is the singer.. He's the lead guitarist.. Mickey Thomas is the vocalist.. Just like Jeff Beck, Elvin understands his limitations..
Who's fooling around in 2024?
That one note he hit, oh my lord...
It seems impossible, doesn't it? 😮
incredible What a note from one of the greatest and super underrated singers. Love all his songs. Thanks Elvin you picked out the best......
Elvin Bishop actually started out with the Paul Butterield Blues Band.
Awesome song.🎶🌹Thanks for sharing.♥️🥰
Elvinbishop sittin on a bale of hay aint good lookin but sure can play
Umm that’s not Tulsa’s Elvin Bishop (labeled), who wrote this sensational song and is playing a fantastic lead guitar here. The handsome lead singer with the gorgeous voice is Mickey Thomas who later joined Jefferson Starship & Starship. Absolutely love this song and the memories it brings with!! Elvin who played with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band (age 20-21) was inducted into the R&RHOF in 2015. He’s a great slide player, I love his collaboration with George Thorogood on One Bourbon One Scotch & One Beer song.
I saw elvin bishop many years ago, 2 hours late and so drunk he could hardly walk but still played great and was an excellent show
Is that Reni Slais on vocals too?
Yes
What great looking guy...love the song..
This song brings back memories. First time I heard the Elvin Bishop group was at a concert with Uriah Heep. 😊
but i fell in love with the WRONG woman
Haha, I’m sorry, your comment made me chuckle! Feel the same way too but different gender, think we’ve all been “there”
We all do that at 1 time.Or another brother hang in there!
