@@alfie8472 “England in the 1970’s…pretty good to live in??” You’re having a laugh, aren’t you? I was born in early 1950’s, so remember the 70’s well. 3 day weeks, “winter of discontent,” strikes, rubbish piled high on the streets, bodies unburied for months…if you call all that “pretty good,” you have a strange definition of the term. Btw, I emigrated in the mid-1970’s because things were so dire. Never looked back.
@@trollmeistergeneral3467 Okay, i was only guessing. I was thinking the music was good & it was before the country was swamped by third world immigrants, so that's where I was coming from.
Rest In Peace Steve. What a beautiful song that always reminds me of the 70's.....why have the years gone by so fast?...feels like it was only yesterday.
Yes ,you are so true! 70s were wonderfull. The song reminds me of my first trip to London. It was the place to go if you was a Mod. Greetings from Germany
Spent a fortune on juke boxes playing this every night. Loved it then and love it now. The guy was so cool I just wanted to be him. Gone but will never be forgotten. RIP Steve
So very sad to hear that Steve Harley is no longer with us. I love this song so much because it takes me right back to some of the happiest times of my life. I love everything about this video, the song, the platform boots, the bags and Steve's stunning outfit which I still say is one of my favourites of all time. RIP Steve, hearing this song always makes me smile and I hope you're smiling now too. 🙏❤
His clothes are so elegant. I was 25 years old when this was released. Teaching in Basingstoke. What a god awful place. Can't believe I lived there for four years!
What a stunning track. I return to it each and every time I am searching for help. Steve was a good friend of my older brother so I met him a few times back in the day. As we say "this fella is, and always been propa". Love to you Steve x
May have been the thing that took me out of depression in exam week and helped me row in the math test. Pretty crucial actually, would have dropped out of studies if I had not made it. Indeed, thanks for the song Steve!
His brother was emile ford who with his band the checkmates got to number one in the uk with WHAT DO WANT TO MAKE THISE EYES AT ME FOR ,, r.i.p George and Steve .
Great great song, I was very young when it came out but I knew it was really good , and it was. Well done Steve, people like you made GBs reputation in music in those days.
One of my first live concerts - Birmingham '75 or '76 - fantastic then and fantastic now... so blessed to have grown up with bands and exceptional music in my formative music life!
Cockney Rebel ❤ Rest in Peace, since i heard he died age 73, think not i do what they want. Hardly, newspaper business and files enough to continue, a bit Cockney yeahhh. These genius folks here in South East North Brabant, les Pays Bah, well now should be clear by now. Great song, thanks so Far Non Fiction with a Smile, of course Flowers 🎉
From a time period when artist seeked to be originals, develop their own unique style. Steve Harley did all that with charm. intelligence and slightly black comedy and surrealism. One of my fav artists of the 70s! His music is still strong for me, still a very personal expression. Big respect Steve. Big respect. R.I.P.
Gutted to hear of Steve’s passing. This is one of my favorite songs of all time since I first heard it as a teen in 1975. He was a genuinely good guy who really cared about his fans and toured almost to the end, loving his profession as he did. Plus, he was one of the few people who could sing and chew gum at the same time… RIP Steve and heartfelt sympathy to his family.
This was the first record i bought with my first pay from my first summer job. Did not know a thing about music, just picked this one on a store. This song became the best song i ever heard and look at the guy, he looks so cool, stil! Ever since then, I always pick the best choice first. Magic!
Brilliant writer , I remember him putting this out there , and how simple but genius ! Some of us do what he did and the rest of us gig the venues . Great song Steve !
RIP Steve Harley. One of my favorite songs from 1975. It’s hard to process that his generation of artists is slowly dying out. RIP Eric Carmen and RIP Karl Wallinger too.
Can't get away from the impression Harley deliberately donned the bowler hat to make him look like the Clockwork Orange dude. He said of the Wedding Present cover, his favorite, "those guys understood the venom in the song". Have to check them lyrics again ! Do the droogs chew gum in the Kubrick movie ?

Great Song. Will always be a great song! RIP. Steve Harley. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Gone to the great band, in the sky! 💯🏆
I agree, great song. England in the 1970's must have been pretty good to live in. I just found out he had polio as a child, so he did well.

Then don’t guess. If you are not 100% certain, do not comment. Do not guess and thereby show your ignorance.
Just like Michael INXS
One of the best songs of the 70's in my humble opinion.
And mine.
yes
Agreed!
Agreed
1975, so long ago.....
Steve your place in music history is secure. Rest in Peace.

The best decade!!!! ❤
🥲
Does it seem like each year goes by faster than the year before? I’m not sure if it’s just me experiencing this.
@@alicedee8106 Nope, you're not alone....even the decades are now starting to feel like they're going faster!
Quite simply, one of the greatest songs of ANY decade. Thank you for giving us this gem Steve. RIP mate.
Spent a fortune on juke boxes playing this every night. Loved it then and love it now. The guy was so cool I just wanted to be him. Gone but will never be forgotten. RIP Steve
This is one of the greatest songs ever written. For my taste, the greatest song ever. Sorry for my english. R.I.P. Steve.
RIP Part of my life growing up,loved all his music,very talented.

I am indeed. He was such a a cool dudey. ❤
His clothes are so elegant. I was 25 years old when this was released. Teaching in Basingstoke. What a god awful place. Can't believe I lived there for four years!
😂😂😂😂 Last year, I met a young man from Basingstoke on a train journey from London to Winchester and he said the same thing about Basingstoke.
Same age at the time in Reading ❤
This was the first record I ever bought, I was 14, it kicked of a lifelong obsession with vinyl. RIP Sir. Thank you 🙏🏼💜
Thanks for making us smile Steve x
And cry
Thank you for the song, Steve Harley. Rest in peace.
13 Tage nach der Sendung bin ich geboren. Heute ist wieder ein Tag zum Flennen. R.I.P.
Die musiker die uns in unserer Jugendzeit begleitet haben,werden immer weniger.
"Forever Young" RIP Steve, the Angels asked " come up and see me Make Me Smile. Thank you for a lifetime of Joy.
That is beautiful ❤❤❤
RIP Steve, and thank you for this fabulous, timeless song. Loved watching this video - how to be cool without even trying 😊👌

Steve, we love you! Keep on playing forever!!! 🙏🙏🙏

May have been the thing that took me out of depression in exam week and helped me row in the math test.
Pretty crucial actually, would have dropped out of studies if I had not made it.
Indeed, thanks for the song Steve!
So original. Great band. Was fortunate to see him and C/R in Birmingham.
RIP Steve. Thanks for the music. You were one of the best my friend.
Steve your music will live on and on. Very sad news he was amazing. RIP Mr Harley
Such a brilliant song, RIP Mr Harley
One of the cornerstones of the 70's music, and deservedly so - an eternal classic that never ages - thanks for sharing
Such a vibe. Rest in peace sir ❤️
Höre es schon seit fast 50 Jahren und verbinde es mit einer wunderbaren Jugend. Zeitlos schön❤
Gone but never forgotten!
RIP Steve !
What a great bass player George Ford was. Always looked like he was enjoying himself. Even played with The Shadows.
His brother was emile ford who with his band the checkmates got to number one in the uk with WHAT DO WANT TO MAKE THISE EYES AT ME FOR ,, r.i.p George and Steve .
Also did a long stint w/ Al Stewart concurrent w/ his Harley gig: Year of the Cat, Modern Times, Past Present & Future. Great bassist indeed!
Underrated folk, those guys handling the bottom of the register. Without Entwistle, there wouldn't have been a Who
Always loved this happy song, you followed in the footsteps of the creative, making the beauty of music for us all all to enjoy and share. RIP Steve
RIP great man. You've left your mark with this superb record.....miles ahead of it's time !
Great great song, I was very young when it came out but I knew it was really good , and it was. Well done Steve, people like you made GBs reputation in music in those days.

The best pop ‘song of 1975 by a mile !
I was just 17 at the time. A decade of great music and songs.
Thanx Steve, for everything!
My favourite song from his album I bought in 1975, and karaoke choice, of all time. Rest In Peace Steve....
One of the greatest pop songs ever written.
RIP Steve ...God speed into the long night bud and thanks for the great music!!
I remember that i have watched this version of this great song on the Dutch television in the 70's!
Gutted to hear of Steve’s passing. This is one of my favorite songs of all time since I first heard it as a teen in 1975.

What a absolute idol.
RIP you Cockney rebel you... thank you for such great music.
This was the first record i bought with my first pay from my first summer job. Did not know a thing about music, just picked this one on a store. This song became the best song i ever heard and look at the guy, he looks so cool, stil!
Ever since then, I always pick the best choice first. Magic!
A Spanish guitar solo... What a genius Steve Harley was!
From the best decade for music, an important part of my teenage years and so cool. RIP
RIP Steve Harley, one of the greats . Robert Bridgend Wales

Thank you Steve, for the music! 😢
Man, I need that look. LOL! Great song, great chords. A classic.

@Cristiano Brayden try FlixZone. Just google for it :)
you cant have it bruvv - there was only one SH
That hat & coat, excellent.
RIP Steve condolences 💐 to his family and friends.
First single I ever had. Great!
Saw Steve a couple of years ago, great gig, really had a great night. Cheers people.
Steve Harley is a beautiful man and soul, R.I.P. ❤ 🖤
Brilliant writer , I remember him putting this out there , and how simple but genius ! Some of us do what he did and the rest of us gig the venues . Great song Steve !
First produced in 1974,and released here in Australia in 1975,this song is a classic masterpiece. One of the gems of modern rocknroll. 👍😁🤣🍺
RIP Steve Harley. One of my favorite songs from 1975.
It’s hard to process that his generation of artists is slowly dying out. RIP Eric Carmen and RIP Karl Wallinger too.
Classic song from the 70’s. Sounds even better on cd!!!
A memory of my childhood days in the UK from Rome Italy.
RIP Steve you were the best ❤ x
Steve Harley - he was cooler than a Siberian cucumber - not many could get away with chewing gum and singing but he had style !
Can't get away from the impression Harley deliberately donned the bowler hat to make him look like the Clockwork Orange dude. He said of the Wedding Present cover, his favorite, "those guys understood the venom in the song". Have to check them lyrics again !
Do the droogs chew gum in the Kubrick movie ?
Dim did..
