So very happy to hear that ! I am 84, and remember loving his music so much around the time I was having my children. Oh Clair and Alone Again were my all time favourites ! Thank you for some wonderful memories, and keep going ! It's not so easy being old.💗❤🙏❤💗
I went to see Gilbert in concert in Manchester on Sunday 9th October 2022 Still as brilliant as I remember him. A real treat with songs and stories about his life. May he continue for many a year👍👍👍👍
I still love his music. I hope he’s still writing music and has a beautiful life, because he deserves it. All his music deserves to be played, forever. Thank you.
So glad he DIDN'T climb that tower and jump off, a lesson to us all to hang in there. I grew up, well I got older ha. Still love listening to all the turns of yesterday.
Gilbert writes wonderful songs, beautiful melodies, witty or poetic lyrics, releases new albums, tours in Ireland, UK, US, Japan, Netherlands, Israel, Belgium, Norway, Denmark and Europe, and lives on Jersey enjoying the countryside and his family and grandchildren. 🎶🌎💖🍀
My school friend we are 65 now. Went to see him a few weeks ago in Manchester uk. Unfortunately I live in USA for 37 years now. I loved all his songs in the 70’s. My friend said the concert was fabulous everyone was singing along. ❤️
I was 13 in 1971, visiting my sister when I first heard "Alone Again Naturally" I'm 66 now and I still listen to the song ❤❤ My all time favorite song to sing around the house and at karaoke!!! I know all of the words by heart!!! I have several of his CDs and listen to them often!!! I love Gilbert O'Sullivan ❤
Thank you for this great update into one of my favourite songsmith's. Gilbert was a breath of fresh air to music at the time and his songs were so well received. Very pleased he is still OK and performing.
I agree with you 100%. His songs were mind blowing, i remember watching him on totp for the 1st time. He was so unique & his style of dressing was so unusual & so Cool❤️
I was a disc jockey back in 1972 and I remember we played the snot out of "Alone Again" and then "Clair." I was not a fan, but we were never allowed to share a negative opinion about a song we were playing. Then in 1973, I was finally promoted from overnights to the night shift 7 - Midnight. My very first shift also happened to be the very first night shift for Wolfman Jack at WNBC in New York. I was working on the CT shoreline and WNBC came into our market like a local. Now here comes the weird part; both Wolfman Jack and myself started our shows at the very same time 7:06 as we both ran network news AND we both started our shows with the exact same song, "Get Down" by Gilbert O'Sullivan.
I’ve seen him play live twice - both were great concerts - I’d thoroughly recommend anyone with even a passing interest in GIlbert’s music to catch one his concerts!
I first heard Gilbert on the radio, in the late sixties singing "Gaily underneath the blanket go" and have been a fan ever since. He wrote some classics including Nothing Rhymed, probably my all time favourite track, but so many great songs. Still listening to him 48 years later.
I was watching 'Moving' the wonderful Korean drama and was delighted to hear his song 'Alone Again' being used, it was such a surprise but it fitted in perfectly. I saw O'Sullivan at Batley Variety Club in the 70s and still have one of his early LPs.
It is not a "difficult" industry. It is simply a situation where one group of people acting as gatekeepers, managers, and promoters, profit off of the artistic labors of another group of people. Edit: But thanks to people like Oliver Anthony that situation is changing.
I'm pleased to say that I attended his concert in Basingstoke (Southern England) on May 11th 2022 (a duet with Gilbert on piano and an excellent guitarist called Bill Shanley). He was as good as I had hoped! He has a new album, "Driven" to be released in July. ♥☺♥☺
I met Gilbert in 1970s in Cinderellas nightclub in Leeds,the Stringfellow nightclub.He was very levell headed on the ground.Very polite and l asked him about songwriting,he was very clever at writing no doubt.As time went on his manager Gordon Mills,which was Tom Jones and Englebert stable didn’t promote him in America.He could l think gone higher.
Oh I loved Alone Again Naturally. It was so sad but heartfelt, I normally don’t like sad songs but there are some exceptions. This was beautiful! Clair, Out of the Question, get down, etc, very talented artist and Irish. I was wondering what happened to him. Glad still around.
Alone Again is one of the most depressing songs ever written and I am amazed the BBC didn't ban it because of the suicide references . Ooh Wakka Doo Wakka Day was plain awful and A Woman's Place Is In The Home probably did his career no good at all (it was the 1970s and feminism was on the rise). But Gilbert made many classics, Nothing Rhymed, Or So They Say, Claire (who must be 50+.y.o) We Will , Get Down etc. However G O'S was a novelty in a way who wore off with the rise of disco and punk His songs are difficult to sing as he packs a lot of words in to them Gilbert didn't approve of karaoke but I suspect few would tackle them!
when i was a kid i bought all his singles saw him in hammersmith in 1972 when i was 15, and my ex got me to see him in a small place at the back of sloane square a few years ago.he has been a big musical influence for me for most of my life, i love the guy.
Oh this reminds me of seeing him live in that hat. His voice was so special and distinctive. I can't believe the song Clare is 50 years old this year!😊😊
Gilbert wow legend, I am 66 this year and have all of he's songs, one word for Gilbert that covers all words...GENIUS I would love to meet him for real to shake he's hand , but we all can dream in life ..Ray in Norwich city.
@@englishenglish4117 Thank you , music helped me when I was in my awful aprentership and living in bedsits in Surrey and London, he's music got me through good and bad times, I know he's songs were more than just songs to Gilbert also, as like me sadness bothered him and being let-down by other humans also...people with good hearts always get taken advantage of, and yes there is such a thing as BAD-LUCK in life for a lot of people, talented or not...Ray In Norwich city.
The Gilbert O’Sullivan Song 🎧: ALONE: Again Naturally (1972) Describes So Much That Has Also Happened In My Life. Involving Death 💀 And Disappearances In 2001 And In 2010. My Mom And My Sister.
Most of my ancestors were Irish. This song Alone Again Naturally, just showed up two week ago, thing have changed for me. No Along anymore. Teaching senior citizens art alternating every week with dancing (we were all born in the early 50's. Lovely song.
I discovered Gilbert O'Sullivan in 2009 when I picked up 'I'm a Writer Not a Fighter' at a tip (refuse center) for about 50p. I remember that first listen. It was March that year and I was sitting at the breakfast table eating a bowl of Cheerios at around 10am. My father and I were working three doors down, laying a block paved drive. I was in a good mood already and when the title track came on, the world suddenly got brighter. I only had time to listen to the first side but it made my day. I later bought 'Back to Front' but the record was scratched. For a few years IAWNAF was the only Gilbert record I listened to, though I bought 'A Stranger in My Own Back Yard' but never listened to it. When I came to China in 2011, I somehow got a digital copy of 'Himself'. I remember one cold November night walking home along a small tree lined street near work called 'Liao Cheng Road' and I listened to 'January Git' as I headed home. That may be my favorite Gilbert song. That memory is still strong and over that month, I consumed 'Himself', 'A Stranger in My Own Back Yard', 'Back to Front', 'Off Centre', 'Life & Rhymes' and 'In The Key of G'. There's no feeling like going through all of or most of an artists catalog. It's like a exploring a cave in Minecraft; you never know what you'll find!
I love Gilbert O'Sullivan; I still listen to his music. Clair was my favorite song; it came out just as I turned 12 and was able to babysit our neighborhood kids. I was in Jr high, 7th grade actually, in cooking class when I first heard Clair. I think that was in 1972.
Hi Theresa how are you. Greetings from Ireland ☘️. It’s a good video about Gilbert. He had some fantastic songs 🎶. He had a unique sound. I am very impressed by your videos on your channel - a fantastic selection. Best wishes for a lovely day 😊🙏 Michael
I’m so glad I got to finally see Gilbert O’Sullivan on his 50 yr tour here in Brisbane at Qpac. I was able to. Lose my eyes and still here the voice I remember singing in my youth- that doesn’t happen I don’t believe. He was very kind afterwards to do photos and autographs afterwards. I play the cd every so often. Thank you Gilbert 🌻
Can remember sitting in my grandma's kitchen listening to the radio when Nothing Rhymed came on. Magical! I was 10 at the time and I knew there and then that I wanted to write songs! So inspiring!
Thanks for this! He is a terrific writer/producer and a wonderful human being. He does many things behind the scenes and never asks for any attention or praise! He is one of my all time favorite artists. Truly, I thank you very much for this update! These are always done tastefully and well scripted! I enjoyed this one immensely!!? 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I loved Gilbert O’Sullivan..and still have most of his L.P.’s from the 70’s….every now and again they are dusted down and given a whirl!..such great memories!!..thanks for this update…💥
Yes, I have seen him live in the last couple of years. He is still a great singer songwriter. I love where would we be without tea. Alone again, Matrimony to name but a few.
I was a young kid when my parents bought the 7” of Clair for me, which I still have, loved the chuckle by the little girl at the end. On my birthdays it was always a song sang with lots of our own giggles! Thanks for the update. 🤩
The little chuckle was in fact made by Clair which was one of Gordon Mills children. She was sitting on her Mothers lap during the recording. Her Mother tickled her right at the end of the song!
what a Great Start to my Day, this popped up on my you tube list, and was about 10/11 when GoS Came on the scene, great to see he is still active and out there
Yes I love that one. Have it on a greatest hits. Not often played with the huge amount of not-that-great Christmas themed music around in December. And November, sometimes October..
I saw him in concert last year in England, it was a fantastic evening,got very emotional listening to Alone again naturally, and Nothing rymed, he did all his old songs and alot of new ones ,all were really lovely to hear❤
Nothing happened to him.... he is still very much here! He is releasing new music and albums and still touring. A quick google search would tell you this. Actually went to see one of his concerts in Dublin 6 years ago - still a great entertainer :-)
Gilberts was on the Wright Stuff channel 5 one morning a while back. ... - he was so very good - honest and grounded it was a brilliant guest appearance from a wonderful talent.
Hi Cheryl how are you. Greetings from Ireland ☘️. It’s a lovely video about Gilbert. What a talented guy he was and still is with a unique sound. Best wishes for a lovely day 😊🙏 Michael
Wow, Gilbert O’Sullivan brings back some happy days for me, with fond childhood memories of this guy’s music in the ‘70s, he is a brilliant singer/songwriter with such a distinctive style and I always loved those clever lyrics of his. So glad to see he is well and active on the music scene!
When I was 14 he was my heart throb. I had posters of him on my bedroom wall. I bought every record he made. I loved him. I have not heard of him in years so I am glad to hear that he is alive and well and continues to do what he loves and is good at.
I loved his hit singles as a young teenager and have vivid memories of them - had no idea he was still working at 76!! Good on you, Gilbert. I wouldn't say you were underrated at all - you probably chose to keep a lower profile whist keeping up the good work!!
Love the hits of course , and I remember a song called Save It … while I love Alone again. Has there ever been a songwriter who put so many words in each line ? Great song !
@@1Jameskelly lol to be sure to be sure, oh and newtonards and Bangor and the north are great places to live and holiwood and Newcastle and ballywalter you know the script paddy haha.
Ooooooooo ooooooooo how I loved his songs ,he is a great singer if you hear it slow ,I love him ,and his songs like I have his skin photos from him malta here I bought lots of his cds
Nothing happened to him he was alive and well when I see him in Bury st Edmunds Suffolk two weeks ago His daughter and gra daughter was with him on tour of the USA and Japan He’s doing very nicely
Gilbert O’Sullivan’s was the first L.P. I ever bought, I was born in 1952, his songs were brilliant plus his look equates to Peaky Blinders nowadays 😂😂👏🇬🇧
@@cynthiam3943 Hi Cynthia how are you. Greetings from Ireland ☘️. It’s a good video of Gilbert. He had some brilliant songs with a unique sound. Best wishes for a lovely day 😊🙏 Michael
The first time heard of O'Sullivan was when Radio North Sea started up in 1970 and they picked on Nothing Rhymed, played it a lot and it seemed to me at the time that it was Radio North Sea who "discovered" him and helped to make him popular?
@@donccarlos9794 true, but the money coming from the rights would not include other amounts awarded him in the lawsuit. I understand he was upset by that part of the settlement because he was not trying to squeeze as much out of his manager as he could - just get the rights going forward.
@@AlDunbar I used to really like Gilbert O'Sullivan, his music was often compared with Elton John and I can see why. Also, right after Gilbert's lawsuit, that inspired Elton John's manager John Reid to file a similar lawsuit against Dick James, which I believe has a similar result.

He is still going strong and producing new inventive albums and giving concerts. Saw him today at Barbican in London ... it was great.
He is doing so well
No you didn’t, and he isn’t. You celeb wannabes make me puke.

My memories of Gilbert O'Sullivan was in the early 70s. I enjoyed his songs "alone again" and "get down"👍♥️🙏✝️✌️😎
One of the most overlooked singer songwriters.
💯
I loved his amazing heartfelt sometimes comical lyrics
❤️ get down sing
Never forgotten by we the Fans
I went to see Gilbert in concert in Manchester on Sunday 9th October 2022 Still as brilliant as I remember him. A real treat with songs and stories about his life. May he continue for many a year👍👍👍👍
What about the court case?
John Lennon’s birthday
I still love his music. I hope he’s still writing music and has a beautiful life, because he deserves it. All his music deserves to be played, forever. Thank you.
He's in the middle of his new album and will be touring next year
He's still touring ,
So glad he DIDN'T climb that tower and jump off, a lesson to us all to hang in there. I grew up, well I got older ha. Still love listening to all the turns of yesterday.
Absolutely.
He's still touring and is married to a Norwegian girl with two daughters !
I remember his music from the 70's with a smile seems like a nice guy
I am 78 and have always loved his music
and always will, a great singer, one of the
best.😊
Gilbert writes wonderful songs, beautiful melodies, witty or poetic lyrics, releases new albums, tours in Ireland, UK, US, Japan, Netherlands, Israel, Belgium, Norway, Denmark and Europe, and lives on Jersey enjoying the countryside and his family and grandchildren. 🎶🌎💖🍀
Back in the 90's Gilbert lived in a nice country estate a couple of miles outside Bunclody, County Wexford, Ireland
AND he beats the Biz after he sued him for sampling his own smash hit Alone Again (Naturally) as a rap song
My school friend we are 65 now. Went to see him a few weeks ago in Manchester uk. Unfortunately I live in USA for 37 years now. I loved all his songs in the 70’s. My friend said the concert was fabulous everyone was singing along. ❤️
Clair is my favorite. Never get tired of his music.
Happy to hear after 50+ years in the businesses that he is still touring. His first big hit “Alone Again” had a remarkable lyric.
I was 13 in 1971, visiting my sister when I first heard "Alone Again Naturally" I'm 66 now and I still listen to the song ❤❤ My all time favorite song to sing around the house and at karaoke!!! I know all of the words by heart!!! I have several of his CDs and listen to them often!!! I love Gilbert O'Sullivan ❤
Brings back memories from 1970. Still love his music today.

Gilbert was a breath of fresh air to music at the time and his songs were so well received.
Very pleased he is still OK and performing.
Thanks for the support!
Gilbert o'sullivan is a guy who has been underrated for far too long, I would advise anyone who doesn't know his music to buy his greatest hits....
Absolutely agree!
I agree with you 100%. His songs were mind blowing, i remember watching him on totp for the 1st time. He was so unique & his style of dressing was so unusual & so Cool❤️

Me too
It is not a "difficult" industry. It is simply a situation where one group of people acting as gatekeepers, managers, and promoters, profit off of the artistic labors of another group of people. Edit: But thanks to people like Oliver Anthony that situation is changing.
@@John_Malloy Doesn't that make it a difficult business?
One well underestimated singer and song writer.
Followed him since a young boy.

I have. You're not missing anything.

Just in case you didn't know - Gilbert was taught how to play piano (and drums) by Rick Davies who went on to form the group Supertramp.
"Alone Again Naturally ", "Clair " 1972 and "Get Down" 1973 are his biggest hits

Alone Again, Naturally. Still a huge favourite of mine. Summer of '72.
I absolutely loved Gilbert when I was young. “Himself” and “Back To Front” were both terrific albums.
I still have the sheet music of his "Himself" (British version). It was one of my favorite albums of the 70's.
I still have the single with ‘Alone again, naturally’
I have loved reading what is said - Gilbert is an amazing writer
He always reminds me of my childhood...great stuff.

Who agrees with me this channel could GREATLY benefit from having A DIFFERENT GUY READING THIS STUFF? His cleverest lyrics : Who was it
or maybe some elocution lessons. Very hard to catch what he's saying, and I'm usually pretty good with foreign accents.
I think he does a good job.

Nothing Rhymed is still one of my favourite songs ever.

Loved Gilbert, still play his songs on CD’s
Gilbert O Sullivan, The Carpenters and Barbra Streisant are still my biggest favorites. you never get tired of it ❤❤
When I was 14 he was my heart throb. I had posters of him on my bedroom wall. I bought every record he made. I loved him. I have not heard of him in years so I am glad to hear that he is alive and well and continues to do what he loves and is good at.
I was fortunate enough to meet Gilbert while gigging with Terry Teakettle and the Toe-tappers (Jack Hobbs on drums) back in 1974.
I loved his hit singles as a young teenager and have vivid memories of them - had no idea he was still working at 76!! Good on you, Gilbert. I wouldn't say you were underrated at all - you probably chose to keep a lower profile whist keeping up the good work!!
Love the hits of course , and I remember a song called Save It … while I love Alone again. Has there ever been a songwriter who put so many words in each line ? Great song !
And of course that other great song 'Nothing Rhymed'. I think that was his first big hit.
Love Gilbert. FANTASTIC. Pleased he is going strong!
I love Gilbert. I still try to catch him when he tours. Great talent, wonderful songs.👍🇬🇧

A legend of the 70s. His music is iconic. A true Irishman. 🎶✌️☘️
Gilbert O’Sullivan’s was the first L.P. I ever bought, I was born in 1952, his songs were brilliant plus his look equates to Peaky Blinders nowadays 😂😂👏🇬🇧
He's irish 🇮🇪🙄

ALONE AGAIN TEARS MY HEART INTO SHREDS GOTTA BE 1 OF THE BEST BUT SADDEST SONGS EVER LOL 🍀😊📺
Awesome song writer.
The new album was released yesterday and the single featuring K T Tunstall, Take Love, is another Gilbert classic.
A proud Irish man 🇮🇪🍀
James Kelly; quite right too.👍✌️👋🇬🇧
The first time heard of O'Sullivan was when Radio North Sea started up in 1970 and they picked on Nothing Rhymed, played it a lot and it seemed to me at the time that it was Radio North Sea who "discovered" him and helped to make him popular?
Thanks Rhoda.
One of my all time favourite singer/songwriters
Saw Gilbert sing in Sydney Australia nearly 20years ago and he was amazing
As Tom Jones once said “If you shake hands with Gordon Mills, count your fingers”. He obviously wrote all that music, it all belongs to him.
Not mentioned is the fact that his suit against his manager was not so much about money as it was about the rights to his songs.
Rights = money
@@donccarlos9794 true, but the money coming from the rights would not include other amounts awarded him in the lawsuit. I understand he was upset by that part of the settlement because he was not trying to squeeze as much out of his manager as he could - just get the rights going forward.
@@AlDunbar I used to really like Gilbert O'Sullivan, his music was often compared with Elton John and I can see why. Also, right after Gilbert's lawsuit, that inspired Elton John's manager John Reid to file a similar lawsuit against Dick James, which I believe has a similar result.
I saw him live in Perth Australia, a place called Mandurah Performing Arts a few years ago. Good performance.
He’s still alive and making music simple as.
Nice to see a bio of a very talented man.
Thank you kindly!
See him at the London Palladium when Clare was in the charts,he was excellent.
Was that when there was scare and we all had to vacate ?
