    Red is a mean, mean colour. Sebastian. Star for a week. Death Trip. All great songs from this master of his craft.

    Of course, it was NOT Rebel's only hit single! Judy Teen, Mr. Soft, Here Comes The Sun were all top 10 hits all over UK/Europe.

      Ballerina wasn't.
      He only performed it for the first time in 2013. Sad he was probably ashamed of such a beautiful song

      @@BACALL1965 Yes I just checked and it only got to number 51 in 1983, I don't think I ever saw him do it live and I've seen him on every tour since 1974, hard to believe I won't see him again.

    Omg you lot lighten up. Harley and co are prolific producers of awesome music. I saw Steve way back in 1976 at the Leeds town hall with Sailor supporting, they were fantastic. The hit Jezza refers to made it to number one. None of their other songs did. So back off, grow some shoulders and enjoy the dig. Clarkson loved Steve Harley and still does.

      No!!! But of course Harley's work is brilliant. I know it well and been to most of his UK gigs from 1977 to 2019. Point is that if Jeremy had ever been a big fan, or opened his ears for a change, he would know the correct name of the band.

    Saw Steve Harley in concert a few years go and, to be honest, only recognised 2 of his songs (the other being the rather more obscure Judy Teen). Still a great concert and his between song patter was far funnier than Clarkson and his 2 buddies ever achieved
