My brother was Steve Priest, and I remember Brian and have happy memories of him.
Very interesting. If you ever want to do a little interview contact me. Take care of yourself. Alan
Lovely guy, he must have been a great brother?
My condolences on your brother’s death. The group gave me great enjoyment during my late teens 🙏
Rip Steve, Love from a massive Sweet fan ❤️
Steve is much missed
Anybody who was fortunate enough to grow up during the 70's will remember the glam era and no band showcased those times more than The Sweet. Brian as a frontman and vocalist will remain for us lucky ones as the charesmatic front man with the awesome voice and personality who propelled the band to massive sucess worldwide. HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
My favorite band in 1975 ❤ Sweet forever 21-06-23 : every day I listen to Sweet forever ❤❤❤❤
Was 14 when the guys hit the charts, Brian was every girls' fantasy back then.
Yes, Brian was charismatic. :)
Damn right 😢
Amen to that my friend 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hello from Florida, USA
This was "SWEET"
He was talented he was and adored by fans, but the fact of feeling unloved by his closest and not being grounded was enough to destroy him. Indeed a repetitive scene in a lot of big stars and successful people
May he finally be happy!
May he RIP 🙏🌷
you are right, Connie. Greetings from Germany to Florida :)
THE SWEET!
A band that came from another planet just to get me into music! You did it! An incredible band. I still enjoy hearing them today! Thanks for the video! Of course it's very sad.
But for me you will always be this band in gold and silver from the planet "MUSIC".
Greetings from Germany! On all The Sweet Fans!
The most criminally underrated group in the history of rock music.
The Sweet were a phenomenal band, not least because of Brian (and Steve's) vocals.
Believe it or not the high falsetto in the band was Andy Scott but Steve could certainly do the camp stuff.😂
I wish I could have seen them live . Born too late
Absolutely fully agree !!
@@fus149hammer5Actually, as Andy Scott once stated: "They (SOMEHOW!!) all had UNIQUE /Natural "Pitch Range" of Octaves, which made those "(4) Part Harmonies" SO Darn WONDERFUL!! Fus149🎙🎙🎙🎙🕶
@@fus149hammer5 yep, great 👍 point, the 'camp' stuff was on display 😁 I sure recall the 70s as a teen. I'm a 'straight' girl, and find it so attractive in these guys 😍
He’s still alive in my house… I listen to Sweet everyday…..brilliant front man and very underrated
I'm still listening in June 2024 - 50 years after I discovered them as an 11 year old♥
I rehearsed with Brian in 1987 for about 6 months in Ram Rehearsal Studios in Rickmansworth, he wasn’t a happy chap but still gave it his all at the sessions, he then picked the Farmer Brothers to back him & I was ousted! It was still a blast to play with him though, some great stories told & I played with a legend when I was only 20yrs old! RIP Brian.
The Sweet were a great band. Your music lives on. RIP Brian, Mick and Steve.
John Lydon very recently acclaimed The Sweet as forerunners/influencers of British punk. R.I.P. beautiful Brian 💜 Lovely, emotional tribute, well done. 🙂🙏
I met Brian a few times. Contrary to what some people said about him I found him to be an extremely nice man. Sadly years of substance and alcohol abuse took its toll on him not to mention he was subject to a very vicious beating at the height of his career. The Sweets talent for hard Rock vocal harmonies were every bit as good as Queen and their music style actually predates Mercury's mob.
Some of their album tracks verge on metal. Brian was a class act as a singer and a front man. For those of us who know their rock music Brian is a legend.
Hi Fus about your knowledge and it was wonderful that you met Brian. I've had comparisons between Queen and Sweet for me, they're the 70s at its best and Brian himself. He had the looks, the style and the voice. He was the package. I don't know why it couldn't. Just embrace it I'm I'm going to see if I can buy a biography to fill in the gaps. Thank you, Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep My ex is one of the biggest Sweet fans in the world and knew them all. I'm mad on Slade so we made a good pair. I met Brian through her and Mick and Andy too although not in the same company as Brian. Steve I never met as he had long ago moved to the States. I remember Brian had just finished playing the old Marquee Club in Soho and we were chatting backstage. He was genial and friendly after a good gig when someone mentioned Andy Scott....
Suddenly his old scottish accent came out
"Dinae ye tak te me about that f***ing £%_^%£%%££^%£%*&£# Scott!
Their music was brilliant. Really good hard rock songs that more modern bands cover regularly.
You can hear the influence Brian and the boys had on other bands, you can hear Sweet in Queen, Def Leppard, even Iron Maiden and Priest! All my treasured LP's are signed. When Brian asked me who's my favourite band and I sheepishly said Slade, the next time I saw him he gave me a stack of his own newspaper cuttings about them!
One other point. I'm of the same generation as you and our musical heroes if they are still here are getting on. Brian was obviously frail and his handsome looks had long left him and so had his voice. I remember someone asked him "Isn't it about time you packed it in?" He said "And do what? I've done this since I was a kid what could I do work in an office?"
It's the same for Dave Hill and Don Powell, Les Gray, Alvin Stardust, Suzy Q, its in the blood. They are and were one offs not something off a Stock Aitkin Waterman or Cowell production line they had genuine talent and Brian was one of the best.
Cheers mate. 👍
When I was a teenager I thought Brian had it all going on ❤️ Bless him, I think jealousy reared it's evil head when he was attacked at the prime of his career 😔
@@elainebines6803 There is some suspicion that his attack was planned. The band was desperate to get away from their contract with Chinn and Chapman. They were frustrated that the songs written for them didn't reflect the true hard rock the band wanted to play. Of course they enjoyed the trappings of success but they wanted total control of their musical output. Chinn and Chapman wrote the hits but allowed the band to write the B sides which is why they were of a much heavier style of rock and to a lot of people much better songs.
Songs like Tiger Feet were originally offered to Sweet but they put their foot down and refused to record it therefore it was offered to Mud. Of course it became a massive hit for them. It's such a shame only Andy Scott is still around. Mick a marvellous drummer died of leukaemia and Steve died in 2020. His last years were particularly sad. Still living and playing in the US until his death he had became so overweight at his last shows he played sitting down backed by a band made up of kids who were barely old enough to be his grandchildren but the band was still called The Sweet.
As I said in a previous comment what else could he do? He like the rest of the band were musicians from their teens. How could they do a nine to five job that late in life?
@@fus149hammer5Andy has mellowed a lot now and in a lot of ways regrets the way he treated Brian but in saying that Brian brought a lot of this on himself sadly
What a wonderful ride. Thank you! Brian are STILL my hero - and Sweet as well, off course! Listen to their records quite often, here in Denmark. They have always been here, and always will. The greatest rockmusic in the 70's. Really!
Brian Connolly, will live on through his music. I will always remember him, when listening to, Sweet.
Sweet forever.
🎤🎸🎵🎹🥁
Thank you for your great warm tribute to a man who gave so much light, but sank away in darkness. His memory and light will prevail over that darkness forever.
Hearing Ball room Blitz for the first time as an 11 year old musician?
Are you kidding me?! I was instantly in the same ballroom with them ( every time ) I heard that song. And Steves magical, under rated and diverse sounding voice, was from deep space.
The guitar tones? The voice? The phrasing? The atmosphere?
It was/ is still out of this world.
That song still rocks me to my bones,
at very high volume, 50 years later !! Not many songs have that effect on me. The Sweet were not properly credited for their creativity and song quality, although some of their songs are hard to absorb, because The Sweet were in a different time dimension, than we mear mortals were, and it was 1974 here on Earth. Lol They were sent here with a prominent purpose, and fulfilled it beyond our imagination.
Its unfortunate for me to remember Steves last days as being challengining ones, ( because I'm sure they were ), but having never net him, I was able to remember him, perhaps like he wished for his fans.
As one of the very first and real rock stars on the planet.
And look how much light and energy still shines through, long after his departure.
It was heartbreaking to see him on that daytime show not long before he died.
Desolation Boulevard is one of my favorite albums of all time. "Life goes on, you know it ain't easy"
RIP Brian Connolly!
Rest in peace Brian.. your music brought me so much pleasure and still does
Top of the pops is where I remember him from. Mmmm. Lovely face with no sense of arrogance. I can see that he needed to sing to get away from his pain and the rest of the band were not always kind to him. He had to fight to carry on as lead singer even though he formed the band. 😎
Thank you very much!!!
Brian was the hero of my youth!
What a great voice!!!!!!
The Sweet were ahead of their time, great band.
"Time is on my side, I got it all, I heard that pride always comes before a fall"..Love is Like Oxygen 1978. Sleep in peace Brian, you have earned it.
@Anne Woodward Brian died in 1997. 1978 refers to when mentioned song was released. So try again dear.
@Anne WoodwardI think you will find it was 1997 he was only 51.
@Anne Woodward look it up on Wikipedia plus I saw him interviewed in 92 on TV and he looked ill then
@Anne Woodward Go on TH-cam type in Brian' Connorlly of the Sweet last interview it was in 1995 he is talking about he's drink problem.
@Anne Woodward And you get it into your head he didn't others on here agree.
Nice tribute to Brian Connolly. Sad to hear that he had passed. always will remember "Block Buster" RIP Brian
RIP Brian you sang and performed some brilliant songs,you are part of my youth
Thankyou so much for sharing this, I was a teenager in the 70s and remember dancing to The Sweet tunes at the school discos! I have all the vinyl singles. RIP Brian Connolly.
I met Brian Connolly and Steve priest in the 70's, I grew up listening to sweet and bands like Hush, these bands are once in a lifetime and I'm glad I grew up with this music. I'm now 63 and I still listen to Sweet and all the great songs from the 70'
Thank you for this tribute to Brian. From a small town in Iowa their music had us rocking on Saturday nights.
It was sad but at the same time great to see the plaque for Brian, being a Sweet fan since the 70’s and still playing their music! A great era!
The 70s was famous for supergroups and Sweet was up there. Loved being a teenager throughout the 70s. Awesome 🎶
R.I.P. Brian Connolly 🌹 Sorry you always felt so lost and alone 💔
thanks for the fast ride through Brians tragic life. Brian was searching for real love for his whole life. May he now rest in peace and rock on in heaven together with Mick and Steve 🙂
With hits like Ballroom Blitz and Teenage Rampage my opinion is that the Sweet half opened the door for the punk explosion that was about to happen. This bands contribution to British music and culture should never ever be underestimated, a fantastic outfit.
Awesome video and plaque. Brian Connolly and Sweet will not be forgotten. They were out when I was young and I still like them alot today. RIP Brian and Steve and Mick. Thanks for the music. TR👍
That was very emotional for me. I have been a huge fan since 1974. Sweet was my first idols and Brian was my favorite. His tone and timing was amazing and there will not be anyone like him ever! I have a hope I will meet him in Heaven.
Same!
They were my favorite
@@janetterobinson7778
I'm Sweet-Fan since the seventies till today! There's no other band like Sweet 🥰. Life is better with Sweet-Music 🎶
@@rosannag.8172 Hi so I'm I. I now live in Germany for over 40years, driving to work very early in the morning and sometimes sweet is playing on the radio it's still hard not to dance to coaco
Very similar story to me. The bubble gum era of Sweet's funny song had become as my first step towards modern music. R.i.P. Mr Connelly †

Greetings from Belaruś 🏳️🚩🏳️ to the all fan's society of Sweet💐🤲👏
The Sweet were my Favourite 70s band as I was growing up. I have all their singles on Vinyl. When I watch Sweet Videos and songs now , they always take me back . They had some brilliant tunes. RIP Brian. You will always be remembered ❤
I'm 66 years old and spent much of my teens with the likes of The Sweet, T Rex, Roxy Music Suzy Quatro and let's not forget the super group ABBA and others and consider myself very fortunate to have done so. I have CDs of all of them but mainly listen via Amazon Unlimited with many tracks being available in Ultra HD. It's the kind of stuff one doesn't tire of. Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman, who wrote many hit tunes for these guys were the masters of British pop in the 70s . Better by far than Stock Aitkin and Waterman who followed in the 80s and who had a much more generic sound. Today there are some talented artists around but few, I'd say, that equal the skills of our old favorites who simply did not have the technology to cover their flaws either on disc or on stage. What you saw (and heard) was what you got. Bless them all. My life is so much richer for them.
Brian I Kno the pain n depression of a family tht just don't seem to care about you..I'm still dealing w the depression from years of lies..Thankyou for leaving us with a legend of vocal gold I never tire of watching you...Much Love from a eternal "Brian" fan!!🤘🎤🧡🌅😊🙏
Great video Alan. I love the Sweet. Great riffs and Brian's vocals are awesome.
Hello Nigel, he did look the great glam rocker didn't they with a lovely voice? Thank you for the nice comment mate
I loved their music. Epic band. Thats the thing when you feel deep emptiness because of abandonment. Which more often dependency for an escape. Rest easy Brian. 💙💙💙💙
Nice story. From 1985 I was often at Brian's concerts, which weren't always good, and I was also able to visit him backstage. He was always friendly and interested in the SWEET fans. He will never be forgotten, our Brian Connolly.
I play The Sweet very loud in my bar cheers to Brian 🥂 their music will never die.
I remember the song "Pappa Joe",,from back in 1970s,,,maybe 72 or 73,,,I loved it.. but never heard it after the 70s were gone .
Fast forward to the 2000s,,,and in 2021 or 22,,,I found it on TH-cam...it brought back memories,,and nostalgia...
It was not until tonight,,15th August 2023 that I stumbled upon a video on TH-cam that the guy who sung that song had died !!
And so long ago..1997 thereabouts...
I take this opportunity to offer condolences to Brian Connally family....however late it might be !!
Very underrated band… love is like oxygen, what a classic..
Great documentary.. much appreciated. Brian was a true original. Bit before my time, but highly admired for his amazing vocal talent and incredible songs / albums the band created. RIP Brian. You Will Always Rock!!! 🤘🏿🙏👍❤️
A sad story 😞 I hope he has now found peace and love. I loved sweet when I was a teenager in the 70s. RIP Brian 🙏
Sweet we’re a fantastic band with great musicians.
“were”
In heaven
Brilliant group, great music. Thanks for the memories ❤️
God Bless You Brian 🙏😇💝 You Are A Wonderful Man 💖 Thank You For The Songs You Sang and Showing Up Cheerful and Gorgeous 🥰💝🎉 We Love You 🌹💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹💞🌹
Thank you so much for your time to do this for us 💕 ... Brian had a very strange Horoscop ... you can see all in there ... the Stardom, the Fall, the Addiction ... the Voice ... the Beauty ... the Lonelyness ... i loved him deeply ... i still do 😍 ... in the 70er years i did take my Sweetsongs within to School ... the boys laughed about me ... the early Songs are very soft ... but : He really sounded like an Angel 😇 ... afterwards they told me, that they have not been real Rockstars 😳 ... because of that ... nowadays i am so happy to see and hear and read ... that they have been very very good ... i am from Germany ... i hope you can understand ... what i wanted to tell you 📚 ... best wishes from near Düsseldorf 🍻🍺🍻 ... 🎵🎼🎶
Brian Connolly! С уважением! Помним
Very respectful and humble Thankyou . Sweet was part of my youth too. Enjoyed this
Ballroom Blitz and Blockbuster are still absolute belters! Such a sad loss. Great video again! 😊😊
Leanne very kind. Take care.
Lovely tribute thankyou for this. Always and forever The Sweet will always be my favourite band. The Sixteens being my favourite song all time. RIP Brian.
Wow,he had such a unique voice I always love sweet!! I'm almost 60 years old,,thanks for taking the time to show where he was buried plaque❤
Brian was the first real rock n roll star 🌟 I ever seen. Coolest man ever 😎 🙌 ❤️
Thank You Alan for the nice Tribute to Brian Connolly 🕯️🕊️🙏

Another smashing cover ..I love the sweet..God rest Brian R.I.P 🙏..keep up your good work with these videos..sterling job👍👌
thank you mr for this tour.Brian was a superstar .
Yes! Definitely 🥰
Very nice tribute! My first favorite band was The Sweet. Heard them in 1973/74 and I still listen to them with amazement. Incredible band and singer. RIP Brian, and thank you...
Thanks for the video. Loved Sweet. Desolation Boulevard was one of the first albums I ever bought. Great tribute to Brian. Thanks
Thank you Anthony. I'll check that I'll be out. I start to get into the music more after doing the film :-)
Such a sad story He had the voice and the looks of an angel
So true ,ive never seen a man who hair like his ,plus better than loads of women hair
right
Thank you for posting 👍
R.I.P. Brian, best frontman ever 🎤
Unforgotten and forever in my heart ❤
Keep on rocking and having fun with Mick 🥁 and Stevie 🎸 where ever you guys are.
Such a great talent. Sad that the fans had to donate for the plack. The members of the band should've did that in my opinion
Brian was a incredible singer and sweet fanny adams is the best album I've ever heard. Every song is light years ahead of it's time
Well Lawrence, you've encouraged me now. I've made a note. I'm going to listen to the LP. I was watching all their hits last night but with your comment, I'm going to listen to the LP soon on Spotify. Thank you for that. Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep make sure you listen to the British version, Alan as the American release had tracks from desolation boulevard on it as well and left out some of the best ones on sweet fanny Adams
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep Dlaczego z Spotify???W TH-cam zly dźwięk???Dżękue.
I thoroughly enjoyed your tribute to Bran it was time for me I love I loved there music very talented band.😊I was only a young girl then but ii am now 61 great memories thank you so much.
astep back
A lot of front men have given him credit for their own success including John Lydon, Billy Idol, Axl Rose, & a host of punk & metal musicians over the years. Even Freddie Mercury took notes from Brian.
I’ve discovered this band on TH-cam last year.Brian was a great singer and the band is killer
Such a handsome fella, fabulous singer r.i.p
Great day's sadly never to return, you thought anything was possible in the 70' s and you couldn't wait for Thursday's to see Top of the Pops.... fantastic times, if you weren't there it's impossible to understand....RIP Brian !
Stumbled across your video today, loved it, absolutely brilliant. It brought back a lot of memories of my love of the Sweet when i first started out listening to music. I come from Burbank in Hamilton, just a mile from Blantyre where Brian Connelly was brought up. Our next door neighbour at the time had connections with Brian, I'm sure he was our next door neighbours cousin's foster son, he was related in some way i know that. Anyway when our neighbour realised i was into the Sweet, she had a drawing that I'd done of him signed... it was signed, BEST OF LUCK JAMES, LOVE BRIAN. He used to visit his foster parents every now and again in Blantyre, but i was never lucky enough to meet him. Sad that he was one of giants of glam rock but is only remembered by a little plaque. But he achieved his goal, sad it ended the way it did.
James
❤thanks for posting. The Sweet is one of my favorite band. RIP Brian Connelly
Thank you for your comment
Such a sad story. I grew up listening to the Sweet. Watching them on top of the pops. Great sound. Hopefully found peace in heaven. Thank you for sharing.
Ericka Hug
A sad ending for a lovely man, thank you for sharing.
I was about 6 years old and with my parents when I saw Sweet. 1972 ish. He came into the audience and knocked over my Cresta pop all over my crisps. He took me on stage and performed the next song with me on his shoulders. It’s on cinefilm somewhere. A very early memory of mine 😊
Brian tě vzal na pódium??...hledala jsem video ale nikde nejseš 🤔... zdravím z České republiky 🤗🤗
Thank you Sir for being respectful and thanks for taking us along. Now I have "my" closure. Rock On.
Thankyou nice video sweet were my band in my early teenage years and the excitement i felt when i heard thier latest single was fantastic miss those days so brian steve mick and andy thankyou for you wonderful music still sounds great today
Thanks Alan, loved this blog. I was a big fan of the Sweet, such a sad ending for such a big star. Xx
Hello Megan, they had some great hits and he was a good looking guy with a great voice. It's a shame he couldn't handle it. I had a natural destructive disposition to alcohol. What a shame. Thank you though. Nice to see you Alan
Great lead singer of an Iconic Band LONG LIVE THE SWEET
Bought my first Sweet album 1976 which was "Give Us a Wink" & after that they were my favourite band of that time & their music lives on. Brian was a fantastic singer... R.I.P.
I was lucky enough to attend a concert by Sweet in the early 1980s at a local holiday park. The 18+ organisation had booked him and his band. He was at the bar drinking 'Snakebite'. When the Band went on, he was still at the bar, as the drummer played the introduction to Ballroom Blitz, which went on and on as he was still at the bar. He finally appeared and did a faultless set. Took me a week to get my hearing back, but it was worth it. RIP Brian, you were a total star. To the channel, thanks. Excellent video.
Hello whole world travel. What a fantastic little story, but it highlighted the fact he was deeply engrossed in alcohol but no idea what snake bite is but it sounds powerful. But as you pointed out when he stood up the show went on and it was fantastic. He was just an alcoholic with some psychological problems but a great performer. Thank you for the fantastic story. Loved it. Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep Snake Bite is a lethal mix of cider and lager. It blows your head off lol! I haven't had any since the '80s, It nearly finished me off. Brian was such a pro he could have sang brilliantly half unconscious!
Snakebite eh? A drink to make you drunk quick and forget.😢
Did he not slur some of the songs
Thx for the upload. Gr8 singer, gr8 band. R.I.P. Brian Connolly
Very great, that was my time. Im´62 years old and a musican too. I was a great time with bands like Sweet, Slade and so on. Best Regards from Germany
Hi Norbert me and you together. I remember all those times. Thank you my friend
We sure heard The Sweet here in Denmark back then, Brian had a fantastic voice, great harmonies with the others. Can't help feeling sorry for the guys. RIP.
I bought all of their records.There were brilliant.
There wouldn‘t have been Bon Jovi, Def Leppard and many other bands without these guys.
Thanks for this respectful video!
I grew up watching The Sweet on TV, along with all the Glam Rock at the time, as kids we thought he was the one of the ultimate Glam Stars..whenever I hear The Sweet I’m taken back to a more innocent time- thanks for this👍
Hello Ray, it was a wonderful time. It was so bright and exciting. I love the glamour on television. It made you think of a world that really didn't exist I guess. But it still made it exciting. Wonderful memories we share I'm sure. Thank you, Alan
WHAT ! a voice he had, it still sounds fresh 🇩🇰
Although this is a pretty sad video, it's brought back so many good memories of the 1970's. When I was a kid I remember me and my brothers watching Top of the Pops, and loving it when they had Sweet on, alongside others such as, Slade, T. Rex, David Bowie, Suzie Quatro, etc. Those were the days! Great music from real talented musicians and singers. I remember after watching them on the TV me and my brothers would go upstairs to the bedroom. Stick on Ballroom Blitz, or Blockbuster, and all the other hits from the time, and think we were them! 😁 We'd vision ourselves as whoever we were copying. Sweet, T. Rex, etc. Dreams of the young and innocent. Great days....Great video! Thank you! 👍
My husband loved the sweet. Very sad but so lovely to know he's story. Thank you.
WHAT A GROUP. STILL LISTEN AT 74yrs. WHEN I NEED TO DO CHORES. ( NOT IN THE MOOD, WHACK THEM ON !! DONE IN NO TIME)😂😂❤
Nice tribute Alan. Brian and Sweet were my heroes as a kid in the 70's and cultivated my taste for rock music. I was lucky to meet Brian once in the late 80's when his Sweet band played Wolverhampton. It was a shame to see his health so affected but he was still getting out there and performing I'd had a few beers when he came into the bar and I got a hug and a signed beer mat from the great man. Glad I got to tell him he made a big impact on me.
Hello Andy, I love your comment and memory. I'll superb when you're a big fan to meet one of your idols and it sounds like he was really sweet with you. No pun intended ☺️ I've read a few stories about how Brian was nice with fans. They were a superb group. A lot of people put them alongside Queen they were great. Musicians in brown was a great front man. Thank you for the lovely comment. Take care, Alan
Danke Allen.👋👍 Ich habe The Sweet mit Brian Conolly in den späten 90ern/ 2000ern live im "FlicFlac" in Gerlingen/ Stuttgart/ Baden-Württemberg mit meinem Kumpel Tom gesehen. Obwohl leider sehr wenige Fans dort waren, die Band und Brian waren genial.👋👋 Er hat mir sogar meine Blockbuster Single signiert. War echt super 👍und er war überhaupt nicht arrogant. Ein tolles Erlebnis.👋
Es ist sehr schlimm, daß er dann später so abgestürzt ist. ☹️😪 Danke Brian für dieses geniale Konzert. 🎤🎸🎙️😎 und Ruhe in Frieden Brian!!! 😪
Hi Petra 👋
😮Brian was a legend, and so was his hair , so underated , such a cracking singer.
Nicely compiled tribute to a true great of the 1970's music scene. Saw him at the Rainbow in 1973. Sadly Steve Priest passed away in 2020 aged 72.
Thanks Alan what a very sad story Brian Connolly and Sweet was just a little before my time but I remember then as a child and appreciate how good the band was in the 70's
Ballroom blitz is one of my all time favourite songs Brian was a good-looking lad but a lost soul R.I.P
Just discovered your site lately Alan and I love watching it
you tell a great story on all of the deceased and keep it dignified for each and everyone of them
Thank you, Lou just like to make a nice representation for them and I do feel because I've just spent the day watching documentaries so you start to feel very close to them. This makes it a little bit because at the end. Thank you, Alan
Such a very sad story. RIP Brian ❤️
Thanks Alan for a wonderful tribute video to Brian Connolly,and who for most of us will fetch good memories of our youth of years gone by.
Let's relive them. I've done it today after the video. There's nothing wrong with it. Thank you, Graham
I was a kid in the 70’s and I remember sweet so clearly, he was amazing singer RIP Brian, thank you for the music ❤️
RIP Brian, lead singer of one of the top bands of the 70’s.
I loved listening to The Sweet on TOTP’s, Brian was a great vocalist & thanks to TH-cam their back catalogue will be appreciated by a new generation of fans.
I recently listened to ‘Fever Of Love’ which for me is how I will always remember The Sweet.
RIP Brian - your music lives on.
I got introduced to Brian, back in 1994, when he came down to meet a work friend of mine, for lunch at tower records in Kensington, where we worked . It was quite sad really, when he was introduced to me, he could hardly walk, and had the shakes, but he still made the effort to say hello to me, and shake my hand, even though he didn't know me,and we had not met before, I was just a friend of his friend.
But I treasure the memory of meeting the lead singer of the sweet.
That was a great presentation to Brian, and I’m so sorry to only now learn of all his misfortune and health issues..,my God, 7 heart attacks and to survive them….that was amazing, but I’m really sad he felt so unloved! If only his fans could have met and shown him how much THEY/We Loved him! But it’s the love of a family he must have meant from his very early days that’s the worst of it bless him.
I and my husband loved Sweet, and hadn’t been married long when they released “ Blockbuster “. My husband was a herdsman, having to get up so early to milk the cows on a cold dark morning wasn’t easy as we both slept deeply, so we attached a peice of string to the clocks alarm key, the other end to our record player with blockbuster ready to drop. If we didn’t wake, the alarm key would start winding in the string, the record arm would drop, and anyone who remembers Blockbuster knows it starts with like police sirens going off!….we had it turned up a bit but also having elderly neighbours used to make us BOTH leap out of bed to turn it off! Lol….but it was a cracking record, abd helped us enormously in those early days!! Thankyou Brian and the Sweet"…Rest in Peace, but know you ARE LOVED! Godbless 🙏🙋♀️💕😘😘😘🥰. Thankyou motor home….you did well finding and sharing with us. Happy memories of a great band! 👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Helen, that is such a funny story with your own constructed waiting device to blockbuster does it not make you feel like jumping out of bed when you hear the sirens go off if you were here the track on the radio 😉 lovely story. Thank you for that. Take care of yourself. Alan
I loved Sweet they were a great band. R.I.P to one amazing singer🙏
A lovely tribute to Brian Connolly, I was a teen in the 70s, so musically he played a big part in that glam rock era. Taken from us far too young. Thankyou for the video, I do enjoy them, yes, some have a sad story but you have such a sunny and happy vibe. 🌞👍
Hello Sally, I know it has been quite enlightening doing this channel. So many people that are in entertainment seem to struggle with coping. Anyway, they all make an interesting story and we can pass our thoughts and memories on which is lovely. Hope to see you again on the next one. Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep yes absolutely, it really brings it home doesn't it, that they are just human beings, the same as us with the same problems that life can throw at us! Thankyou for your reply, look forward to the next one. 😃
Rest in peace Brian, you are loved and will be remembered. In the end of things that is all the matters!
Thanks for this! I discovered Sweet in about 1998 when I was in my early teens and loved their music! I went to see them in December just gone and they were great with Andy Scott still keeping it going. It's such a shame what happened.
