    I am always finding something new to me in SOTU, and I love that! Good tune.

    Fine song. It was a new one on me. Nice to see Noddy could write a meaningful song as well as a string of pop classics.

    I wouldn’t have picked that as a Slade song. Great song and fine version.

    Noddy and Jim were great writers. I have the DVD of Slade in Flame somewhere, must dig it out to watch again.

    People tend to forget that Slade had some fine pop/rock ballads in their repertoire. This, My Oh My and How Does It Feel are top drawer in my opinion. Thanks for making this old guy happy with your song choice and excellent execution of it.

      @ Everyday, absolutely, that one had slipped my mind. I’m usually pleased when Christmas and New Year are over, travelling around the country trying to keep family and friends happy gets harder with every passing year.

      Very perceptive - wise enough to buy a lot of T.Rex, Wizzard & Slade records at the time. Sadly, 25 years later I wasn't as wise, and gave them all to a charity shop...😢
