@@omarlopez-ortega You can check this relatively recent interview: Q: Was Gillan a big influence vocally? A: Ian was a big vocal hero of mine. There was Ian Gillan, Arthur Brown, Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull, surprisingly enough, and a chap called Peter Hammill from Van Der Graaf Generator. They’re all in the same area of voices - they all had a ballsy sort of tenor, extended baritone thing to their voices. Q: What other singers inspired you? A: Paul Rodgers. I just thought that Rodgers was just stunning, and I didn’t even really try and copy his phrasing because I thought you just can’t it’s just he’s just so good. www.loudersound.com/features/bruce-dickinson-deep-purple-changed-my-life or checkout this older interview: ua-cam.com/video/Zn-ClB6vNis/v-deo.html Actually, there are so many sources out there which proves my claim.
Arthur Brown was and is one of the greatest singers in rock. His masterful vibrato & range was unmatched in the 1960’s. I don’t know for sure but I suspect Ian Gillan was influenced by him and King Diamond likely borrowed from Arthur as well.
It looks weird to me that someone dedicated to music analisys don’t knew before Ian Gillan. He’s one of the biggest and most influential rock voices all time, no doubt. A opera lover, even music lover, must know Pavarotti?
I think 90% of those first reaction videos have to be bullshit. I just cannot believe someone remotely interested in something more than the latest summer hits (if you even can call that interest) or from a totally different cultural background, doesn't know Deep Purple. OK, this song is maybe not one of the most popular (like Smoke on the water or Child in time)... but it's close. This band among a few other basically defined rock and metal for the next few decades. They still fill large concert halls today, so it's not like it's ancient history.
Hey Rafa, I admit I sometimes have the same feeling as I adore the era 65-75 but on the other hand : if someone would ask me to name some current superstars in music I would be finished quite quickly. From the entire hip-hop I would not be able to mention one name. So I might be a stranger to current reality as well.
This man was the spiritual granddaddy of all of the great multi-octave rock and metal vocalists. Dare I say, more so than Robert Plant - and I love Robert Plant.
Your reaction to his banshee wail is so perfect you should see him in concert he can make the hairs on your neck stand up and send a cold chill down your spine. He is so amazing. He is in my top five singers him being number one.
You have to remember.. that when this came out some of us were teens, no internet, no mobiles. A couple of music papers and magazines. We would pre order this and wait outside the record shop for it to open on release day. An album was relatively expensive back then. Would rush it back home and play it loud with a couple of mates on whoever had acccess to a parents 'hi-fi'. You maybe a little stunned by listening to this for the first time, but we were fuckin' blown away. We had the best of it !!!!!
Well said my friend, I remember braking my piggy bank to buy a record, and to find a guitar tab you had to go buy it at the music store, and wasn't cheap for a teenager, not like today that we have everything and anything on youtube, including lessons how to play the song and and tabs.
Now, we all Who worships her must go to the barricades and keep on shouting....... Gillan is, well a good singer.... 🤪.......... Maybe she Will get it....we shall see....... 😪
Ian Gillan is a true vocal legend for his work in deep purple alone but he is also the first Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar (the original rock opera album).
This brings me back. My dad showed me some Deep Purple when I was a little kid. Ian's voice is amazing. What an underrated vocalist. Thanks for the throwback. 🙏🙃❤
Ian Gillan is now 75... his vocal prowess is not what it was 30 years ago... he has adapted his singing style in accordance with the physical changes that occur with age... he still sounds very good in studio... his career has been story book... not to mention he is the only singer to ever front Deep Purple & Black Sabbath...
I fear you might lose control of all bodily functions when you hear him sing Child In Time. I recommend a medicinal G&T afterwards, followed by standing under a cold shower in whatever you're wearing (your clothes will probably be on fire at that point). 🤣 😂
Thanks Rebecca for the like 🤣 must is sweet child in time" Ian at is best" will blow you away" would love to hear your thoughts on this incredible vocal... stay pretty gorgeous. Barry ❤️
Sorry but your doing a cross over here with Gun's & Roses It's just Child in time by Deep Purple, the 1970 live version shows how good the band was and how they compliment each others talentsJon Lord on the key boards is worth it all alone
Rebecca - Love you and your videos! Ian Gillan is one of the best, especially when he was younger. I am including links to two clips that you must watch of Ian from 1970. They are both excellent and I will be surprised if you do not shed tears during "Child In Time." Deep Purple was my favorite band during the 70s and I used to sit and listen to him singing this song and I would sometimes just weep, prompted by the lyrics and Ian's incomparable vocal delivery. Yes, Ian is still singing and with Deep Purple. He sang with them from 1969-1973, 1984-1989, and from 1992 to the present. In between he fronted his own band (s), Blackmore's Rainbow, Black Sabbath, etc. He is one of Rock's all-time great vocalists, for sure. I hope you enjoy these tracks: "Gethsemane" ("I Only Want To Say") from Jesus Christ Superstar (1970): ua-cam.com/video/gOjyGy1NR4Y/v-deo.html Emotionally prepare yourself for this one: "Child In Time" (1970): ua-cam.com/video/OorZcOzNcgE/v-deo.html P.S. Don't be distracted by the comatose audience during "Child In Time" ... it was a cultural and time-era phenomenon. :-)
Ritchie was a pain in their ass. Great guitarist but a conceited, jealous, jerk in personality. Just my take though. He was the destruction of the band. 😢
Firstly, you look stunning today. Do yourself a favour and listen to the original studio version a few times. Have you reacted to Child in Time by Deep Purple? You will see what his voice can really do. There's a great live version, I'll find it and paste the link. ua-cam.com/video/OorZcOzNcgE/v-deo.html
A real treat for a vocal coach reaction would be If You Believe Me. He uses so many different techniques in that song and the soul he puts into his singing...the sould, bro! :D
Ian is still singing:) but I think you need to check him singing Child in time, with his main band Deep Purple. I think there you can taste his full range:) jaw dropping experience 150%:) check album version, because live recordings from early-mid 70 are mostly bad quality, and that was his peak:(
Ian never sang and scream better than in his forgotten First solo era , with Mark nausseef ( Ex Elf , Thin Lizzy ) on drums , gustafon on bass .. Kind of Hard Jazz fusion .
I find it funny that this lady is only now discovering how brilliant a lot of rock singers are … something which I have known about for the last 45 years of my life lol
Deep Purple. Mother of God, it's my favorite group of musicians and has been for over 40 years. But I'm still getting chills and goosebumps when I hear most of their songs.....
Him singing Sweet child in time from Deep Purples 4 album released in 1970 is breathtaking and a lot of rock singing was influenced by him and deep purple
John DeVillires You are referring to the MTV unplugged session they played in Los Angeles, right? Oh yes... she will ‚collapse‘ ! ( in a good way of course )
ubergypsy89 He’s not underrated - he’s one of the best rock singers ever , everyone who listens to rock knows this. He’s been around for nearly 50 years and he still makes music and still tours!
You people obviously don't get what I mean. I know he's amazing and he's one of my favourites. I have loads of deep purple records. I just find that when people talk about the best front men they are more likely to mention someone like fredie mercury or Dio than him but to me he's right up there. Therefore he is underrated (not overrated as you may have thought I meant).
Just wanted to say how lovely you are and so up beat. I truly appreciate people who are capable of understanding the depth and true complicity of rock\heavy metal.the artist are true master's at there craft and it's very refreshing to have someone like yourself.Thank you
The original version of "When a Blind Man Cries" was omitted from the Machine Head" album due to Ritchie Blackmore claiming it was too slow, but imo, it is by far the besr version i have heard.
Love this! Deep Purple were along with Led Zeppelin, Sabbath and Priest, the foundation for Metal, and even in many ways the future of Hard Rock. And Gillan was Purple's best singer IMO. (He had a stint with Sabbath, but I prefer Dio and even Ozzy with them) Regardless, as others have pointed out, many of the true great singers of Hard Rock and Metal's various sub genre owe a lot to Ian Gillan
Deep purple was my first concert at 18 I've seen Ian Gillan perform blind man live I have been a huge fan of Deep purple for 20 years and to the stay I've seen so many concerts and they are still in my top five I stood up on my seat I was just the experience was incredible I tell you what in real life his vocals are so much richer and powerful and intense and I stood on my seat and I've I think you blew a kiss at me because I waved At him and even just the crowd the ambiance so many old school rockers waiting in the q or in the van smoking pot listening to psychedelic music light pink Floyd and led it was amazing it was like being in a different time
I'm glad I re discovered your channel. This is one of my favourite purple songs. Ian gillan is still an amazing singer. I love your scientific yet soulful explanations. (Also you have a great voice to listen to "wink"). I've been watching your videos and have enjoyed all I've seen so far. Thank you.
If you liked this one you should definitely check out Ian Gillan singing Child In Time and David Coverdale singing Mistreated. Mistreated might be one of my favourite songs ever and the one song that inspired me to get into singing in the first place. Love the channel! Keep up the good work! EDIT: Oh btw he's doing Deep Purple, Ian, if you care to know ^^
I absolutely LOVE your reaction at 10.00......(just seen this vid yesterday). Bought me here as Gillan is my favourite rock singer and this song is one of my favourite Purple songs. Many thanks!
Ian Gillan is one of my favorites, cause my roots are HeavyMetalyzed! Metal is a top challenge for a singer and you know about this because your voice has all ranges at top quality, wich is awesome. Excellent work with your reactions, comments and explanations. Greetings!
A lot of people in this world have deep connections to music, but I must say yours runs far deeper than most. What I love about your reactions is that mix of your emotional response with your vocal coach analysis. In this particular video you obviously reacted deeply to that guitar solo. so much so that you then broke down the difference between songs with and without long instrumental sections. It was fun to watch!
Hello - I want to start by pointing out that sometimes my honesty in my comments is read as negative. Criticism has two sides, it's not all about complimenting. That said, I have been an Ian Gillan fan since 1969, and have followed his very varied and impressive catelogue of music ever since. I want to point out, you make some comments about lengthy instrumentals in this version of this song. Well, it is a live performance and Gillan comes from a line up of jamming instrumental bands - most namely Deep Purple. Hence long solos. The original studio version of this by DP only runs like 3:20. Have heard and seen many live versions by him of this song, and this is one of my favorites. You tried to categorize him, and he's all that you mentioned. Great bluesy singer - hard rocker - soulful - emotional - great control in his prime - and when he wants, an absolutely beautiful voice. Perhaps you are unaware he portrayed Jesus in the original Jesus Christ Superstar. Give it a listen. And for a further adventure into his voice, I highly recommend this little piece DP did with orchestra in 1969 - ua-cam.com/video/dt-CX3k0PYw/v-deo.html. To make it more impressive, this is an unrehearsed piece that Gillan had just put words to less than an hour before performance - true story. Finally, the scream. Yes, it is a scream. it is not nasely(sp?) or heady. It comes from the back of the throat - piercing, powerful. You can sing a bit operatic, but no offense, you don't scream so well. It is his trademark, and he did it for many years until age and wear and tear took its toll. No one else had "that" scream. Someone else suggested Child in Time to you by Deep Purple. Yeah go for it. But remember, they are a jam band. Even the studio version of that one has long key and guitar solos. But do listen to it from the Made in Japan live concert and be ready to be outrageously impressed. There's lots of music out there, but I do suggest that if you're the least bit impressed by Ian, that you dig further into his catelogue. Respect and happy music hunting
...and just to let you know: he has invented the belting vocal technique...he was the original (and best according to both the authors and Neely) singer on JCS...he was called genius by Pavarotti...and his highest vocal note is D6.
Well, you are young, but appreciative of great vocals in music and I thank you. I grew up listening to Ian and others like him. He's definitely on my top five list. Others below have mentioned "Child In Time" from the Made In Japan album. It will blow your mind, but one of my favorites is the guitar vs. vocals battle on "Strange Kind Of Woman" or the cacophony/chaos into melody of "Lazy". FYI - You mentioned the long intros - this was early 70s music. Weed was much weaker back then. It took awhile before the buzz hit.
He's still out there with Deep Purple on the never ending tour. I believe they're winding down to call it quits. Sadly his voice is nothing like it was in his younger days, but it's the rare rock and roll singer that can perform at top level their entire career. Look into his early days with Deep Purple, from 1970-1973, for some truly epic vox performances, particularly on 'Made in Japan'. He will blow your mind.
I'd love to see you react to Focus - Hocus Pocus (live 73). It' should be quite unlike any band / artist you've reacted to so far. Vocalist's name is Thijs van Leer
Well they are definitely different. Although it's a shame, its not a big surprise mainstream media didn't go crazy for focus. I didn't live at the time or in the UK for that matter, so I wouldn't have known. Thanks for the info :)
If you are curious to see what Ian Gillan could do.... Deep Purple - Child In Time - 1970
Yes!!
From Made in Japan album!
Or Deep Purple in Hell. His voice is so different here - after it got damaged. She’s too young to know.
ua-cam.com/video/YGao3TTXE5k/v-deo.html I think that u are talking about this particular one,right Alessio?

@Ray, yeah she would have fell out of her chair
even glow her away
Please do this songg!!!!
please do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I totally agree
Ian Gillan. Child in time 🤯
Gillan at his very best.
Deep Purple - Ian Gillan - Child in Time - live.
Yep. I'm surprised this one didn't come first.
Heck yeah!
Exact. BBC session of Child in time.
This man was the spiritual granddaddy of all of the great multi-octave rock and metal vocalists. Dare I say, more so than Robert Plant - and I love Robert Plant.
Dare to say. Truth is truth. Incomparable without peer.
Jesus Christ Superstar - Gethsemane
Music: Andrew Lloyd Webber
Lyrics: Tim Rice
Vocals: Ian Gillan
That vocal performance is probably my favorite of Ian's
And Murray Head is fantastic in it (as well as Yvonne Elliman)
@green fox ua-cam.com/video/gOjyGy1NR4Y/v-deo.html
All the yes. That is maybe the best recorded rock vocal of all time, and it’s on a musical theatre concept album!
Exactly...Ian at his peak...
Child in Time
Deep Purple's magnum opus. Anyone who loves music owes it to themselves to listen to it once in their life.
Anyone who loves music should listen to child in time once a week :)
Great react, you should react on Child in time. 😊
Banbo totally agree!!!!! Child in Time is an absolute must for you Rebecca!!!!!
She should react to the live version. Way better than the studio version
The hairy scream ;) Child in Time please
+1 for Child in Time. It will blow her mind!
child in time from 24 carat purple!!!
Your reaction to his banshee wail is so perfect you should see him in concert he can make the hairs on your neck stand up and send a cold chill down your spine. He is so amazing. He is in my top five singers him being number one.
One of the best songs ever written, along with "Child in Time".
Deep purple child in time, surprised you haven't seen that yet. Their best song. Amazing voice.
"Made in Japan" 1972 live - "Strange kind of woman" - epic voice/guitar battle. A masterpiece.
Exactly what I thought when I clicked. Would have been a better choice to show his skill
No way dude. 1969-1970 was far better.
When he puts his vocals up against Blackmore's guitar... Brilliant.
If you want to hear one of his greatest live performances check out Child In Time - 1970 live. Was a life changer for me.
Child in time live 1969.
You have to remember.. that when this came out some of us were teens, no internet, no mobiles. A couple of music papers and magazines.

Nick Handberg Either the BBC one 1970 in front of the remarkably subdued crowd. Or the made in Japan version.

Man, the fact that this reaction is NOT to 'Child in time' live TV performance 1970, is a travesty. =/ You're still lovely tho, Rebecca. Ofc. :)
He was even better in 1969 singing with the London Symphony Orchestra.
I've always enjoyed Ian Gillan's voice and his voice is a gift,all the vocal lessons in the world won't make you an Ian Gillan.
Can we have a "Ritchie Blackmore reacts to Ian Gillan" video? ;)
Nah, we had that a lot you know
BEST WAY TO EVALUATE THESE TWO GIANTS IS TO LISTEN TO THEIR DUO IN "STRANGE KIND OF WOMAN - MADE IN JAPAN "

@Erik Lidström Heard all versions (i think), but still prefer the original album version of "Child in Time", from the "In Rock" album.
Erik Lidström mij version wasn’t tinkered in anyway it’s purely live and that is a testament to the whole band and his singing was incredible
Ian never sang and scream better than in his forgotten First solo era , with Mark nausseef ( Ex Elf , Thin Lizzy ) on drums , gustafon on bass ..

Him singing Sweet child in time from Deep Purples 4 album released in 1970 is breathtaking and a lot of rock singing was influenced by him and deep purple

Just wanted to say how lovely you are and so up beat. I truly appreciate people who are capable of understanding the depth and true complicity of rock\heavy metal.the artist are true master's at there craft and it's very refreshing to have someone like yourself.Thank you
Thanks so much
Very subdued performance from Ian Gilliam but his early years in Deep Purple....child in time especially! Need to be heard
The original version of "When a Blind Man Cries" was omitted from the Machine Head" album due to Ritchie Blackmore claiming it was too slow, but imo, it is by far the besr version i have heard.
Love this! Deep Purple were along with Led Zeppelin, Sabbath and Priest, the foundation for Metal, and even in many ways the future of Hard Rock. And Gillan was Purple's best singer IMO. (He had a stint with Sabbath, but I prefer Dio and even Ozzy with them) Regardless, as others have pointed out, many of the true great singers of Hard Rock and Metal's various sub genre owe a lot to Ian Gillan
Sabbath with Gillan were great.
@@NightShooter87 Never said they weren't. I said I prefer Ozzy and Dio with them.
@@jasonstinebaugh8447 I didn't say you did I was just making a comment that's all.
You have just done one of my favorite deep purple songs so much emotion in this
Deep purple was my first concert at 18 I've seen Ian Gillan perform blind man live I have been a huge fan of Deep purple for 20 years and to the stay I've seen so many concerts and they are still in my top five I stood up on my seat I was just the experience was incredible I tell you what in real life his vocals are so much richer and powerful and intense and I stood on my seat and I've I think you blew a kiss at me because I waved
At him and even just the crowd the ambiance so many old school rockers waiting in the q or in the van smoking pot listening to psychedelic music light pink Floyd and led it was amazing it was like being in a different time
Can’t stop watching you 🤩🤩🤩
I love that you highlighted his sheer expressiveness. All the range in the world won't do much good if you can't emote, yeah?
I'm glad I re discovered your channel.
This is one of my favourite purple songs.
Ian gillan is still an amazing singer.
I love your scientific yet soulful explanations.
(Also you have a great voice to listen to "wink").
I've been watching your videos and have enjoyed all I've seen so far.
Thank you.
Written by Gillan, Glover and Blackmore. Steve Morris on guitar btw.
If you liked this one you should definitely check out Ian Gillan singing Child In Time and David Coverdale singing Mistreated. Mistreated might be one of my favourite songs ever and the one song that inspired me to get into singing in the first place.
Love the channel! Keep up the good work!
EDIT: Oh btw he's doing Deep Purple, Ian, if you care to know ^^
To this day, I say Coverdale's performance of Mistreated at the '74 Cal Jam was the singular highlight of the festival!
Zeergruush has to be cal jam version
@@ponytrekker9315 I just grew up admiring the MiE version. I wouldn't mind the Californis Jam version though. Coverdale rocks either way! \m/
Zeergruush that’s an excellent version as well but the Cal jam you get to see it visually which is even better..Plus they’re very similar
Yes Ian is still making great music with Deep Purple and touring frequently. He’s 70 now.
More like 76 I think.
Ian has been a big part of my life & he his songs (voice) has picked me up many,many times. I feel lucky to have lived in his time.
Is that the first time you heard the great Ian Gillan? A happy person... So much is yet to hear.
React to "Child in time" by deep purple, it's the same singer
Yes, Ian is still singing, still in pretty good voice for a 74-year old.
I absolutely LOVE your reaction at 10.00......(just seen this vid yesterday). Bought me here as Gillan is my favourite rock singer and this song is one of my favourite Purple songs. Many thanks!
Thank you Rebecca, for helping me understand why this song moves me to tears.
Any Deep Purple is very good. Even David Coverdale era after Ian (and before Whitesnake!)
Joe Lynn Turner era was NOT good!
Ian Gillan one of the best rock vocalists ever
Omg. Of course! He's a legend! It goes without saying
As you say.....we have also loved him since 1960s..he's been our rock singer, the best rock vocalist till these days
Ian Gillan an extraordinary voice
Yes, Rebecca , Child in time is a must. Please, react to it ! 😍
Hahaha "I felt like a firework just flew out of his mouth!" I must use that at some point. Perfectly summed up Rebecca!
Ian Gillan is one of my favorites, cause my roots are HeavyMetalyzed! Metal is a top challenge for a singer and you know about this because your voice has all ranges at top quality, wich is awesome. Excellent work with your reactions, comments and explanations. Greetings!
The best vocal coach in the world reacts to the best singer in the world
Heyyy, believe me, watch this one: Nightwish - The Islander (Live At Tampere), absolutely amazing, trust me. Love the videos btw
Gillan for ever!!! 💜
I love Rebecca's videos! Its like she just landed on earth and has never heard of any of the singers that she features.
kept expecting the guitarist to go into the comfortably numb solo!
Ian, one of the greats. Somehow I think you would even like my voice, then I listen to my playback (haha) 😂
A lot of people in this world have deep connections to music, but I must say yours runs far deeper than most. What I love about your reactions is that mix of your emotional response with your vocal coach analysis. In this particular video you obviously reacted deeply to that guitar solo. so much so that you then broke down the difference between songs with and without long instrumental sections. It was fun to watch!
Thanks so much appreciate it 💖
Your my favorite vocal coach on UA-cam because you always react to straight gold
Hello - I want to start by pointing out that sometimes my honesty in my comments is read as negative. Criticism has two sides, it's not all about complimenting. That said, I have been an Ian Gillan fan since 1969, and have followed his very varied and impressive catelogue of music ever since.
I want to point out, you make some comments about lengthy instrumentals in this version of this song. Well, it is a live performance and Gillan comes from a line up of jamming instrumental bands - most namely Deep Purple. Hence long solos. The original studio version of this by DP only runs like 3:20. Have heard and seen many live versions by him of this song, and this is one of my favorites.
You tried to categorize him, and he's all that you mentioned. Great bluesy singer - hard rocker - soulful - emotional - great control in his prime - and when he wants, an absolutely beautiful voice.
Perhaps you are unaware he portrayed Jesus in the original Jesus Christ Superstar. Give it a listen.
And for a further adventure into his voice, I highly recommend this little piece DP did with orchestra in 1969 - ua-cam.com/video/dt-CX3k0PYw/v-deo.html. To make it more impressive, this is an unrehearsed piece that Gillan had just put words to less than an hour before performance - true story.
Finally, the scream. Yes, it is a scream. it is not nasely(sp?) or heady. It comes from the back of the throat - piercing, powerful. You can sing a bit operatic, but no offense, you don't scream so well. It is his trademark, and he did it for many years until age and wear and tear took its toll. No one else had "that" scream.
Someone else suggested Child in Time to you by Deep Purple. Yeah go for it. But remember, they are a jam band. Even the studio version of that one has long key and guitar solos. But do listen to it from the Made in Japan live concert and be ready to be outrageously impressed.
There's lots of music out there, but I do suggest that if you're the least bit impressed by Ian, that you dig further into his catelogue.
Respect and happy music hunting
Fighting Man by Gillan is an amazing song with incredible high notes that should be listened, together with child in time live 1970
Child in time live 1969.
Fighting man, a classic!
...and just to let you know: he has invented the belting vocal technique...he was the original (and best according to both the authors and Neely) singer on JCS...he was called genius by Pavarotti...and his highest vocal note is D6.
Well, you are young, but appreciative of great vocals in music and I thank you. I grew up listening to Ian and others like him. He's definitely on my top five list. Others below have mentioned "Child In Time" from the Made In Japan album. It will blow your mind, but one of my favorites is the guitar vs. vocals battle on "Strange Kind Of Woman" or the cacophony/chaos into melody of "Lazy".
FYI - You mentioned the long intros - this was early 70s music. Weed was much weaker back then. It took awhile before the buzz hit.
Mais um grande vocal pra galeria dos melhores.
URIAH HEEP JULY MORNING 1972 would be great to react to. It's truly a shame that no one has reacted to David Byron yet
One of the best progressive rock bands..Salisbury is still a jem..
Or Circle of Hands
He's still out there with Deep Purple on the never ending tour. I believe they're winding down to call it quits. Sadly his voice is nothing like it was in his younger days, but it's the rare rock and roll singer that can perform at top level their entire career. Look into his early days with Deep Purple, from 1970-1973, for some truly epic vox performances, particularly on 'Made in Japan'. He will blow your mind.
Love how you explain things, and your expressions too....you make me smile...xx
I'd love to see you react to Focus - Hocus Pocus (live 73). It' should be quite unlike any band / artist you've reacted to so far. Vocalist's name is Thijs van Leer
Focus was mostly ignored by the msm, I think Tommy Vance was about the only one to give them airtime here in the UK.
Well they are definitely different. Although it's a shame, its not a big surprise mainstream media didn't go crazy for focus. I didn't live at the time or in the UK for that matter, so I wouldn't have known. Thanks for the info :)
That song sucks! Hated it when it first came out. Hate it every bit as much, if not more, now.
@@leetroy3129 Ease up on the hate there champ
Love you. Rebecca. Hello from ARIZONA. ; )~
One of the best voices in the world!!!
But in first '70 was absolutely the BEST!
If you want to hear Ian at his best child in time from 1972 will blow you away
