    If I could meet and chat with any star from the 70's it would be Roy Wood. I've always liked every group he's been in.

    I could listen to Roy Wood all day. He's the most underrated artist of all time, he could play almost every musical instrument. His music doesn't sound any different now to what it did in the 70's ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    Roy's hair style and hair color look really good here! It's a a real natural look for him.

    Great Neil Sedaka Beach Boys homage. From one of the most underrated artist we’ve had. Every time I come across this track I find myself listening to it at least 4 or 5 times.

    I'd forgotten just how good Roy Wood was back in the day.. Very catchy tunes 👌

    Roy's catchy and meticulous tribute to the Beach Boys and a rare sighting of his hipster look, just before he went doolally with the stage make-up! The audience often looked a bit glum in early '70s TOTPs. Not this lot, though! You go, girls!

    First time seeing this performed. Pure class from Roy Wood. My favourite song by him or The Move and Wizzard.

    I've got the 45 (single on the Harvest record label) where Wood thanks Neil Sedaka and Brian Wilson for their influence...a delightful single...and I can't ever remember seeing this before !

    Excellent, but can someone explain why his voice sounds different as he sings the first lines than it sounds in the balance of the song?

    I don't know why some comments mention the Beach Boys if this has nothing to do with Sunflower's Forever (1970)
    (Or at least I think so)

      Here’s a RoyWood song that DEFINITELY sounds like a homage to the BeachBoys.. (called ‘Why Does Such A Pretty Girl Sing Those Sad Songs’ ):

      What's even funnier is that Rick Price is strumming a Fender 6-string bass like a guitar, like Roy Wood in the Fire Brigade performance in TOTP.

      How could this record be recreated perfectly on tv ..in 73 let alone now ? . Not a con if you aren't of an age to know that top of the pops a brittish tv show mainly had acts miming or playing to a backing track .. sometime singing live to a rerecorded backing track ...sometimes they had an orchestra playing the backing & female backing vocalists ( crap) , and they were awful. ( musician's union ) Much rather have a mimed performance than that.. .everyone knew it was mimed the shock was when it was live!!!

    Roy is such a great song writer and singer but he treats fans so terribly. His ego is out of control! Sorry Roy. I love your music but not you! Same as Van Morrison.
