- Maggie May was Rod Stewart's first big hit as a solo performer. The song went to #1 in the UK Singles Chart in October 1971, and at the same time topped the charts in Australia, Canada, and the US.
Seen him three times with my dad. Now I'm sat here playing this to my baby bump. Legacy that never ends.
Nice
Congratulations ❤
Rock rocks on.
Hope your bump is OK best music by far❤
Hope you're enjoying that baby now
50 years later, and people still love this song. Now that’s a hit.
Sorry accidental thumbs down.
Its about Rape
Loved this song since I first heard it in 1972
and we still know all the words ha ha
j'ai tjs adoré cette chanson
la voix unique de Rod !!!
mais pas que!!!
toute une époque!!!
50+ years later, and here I am, a 28 year old dude with a puppy named Maggie May. What a legacy.
Me to bro me too that awesome
Awww, that's awesome!!!!!❤❤
I got a beagle couple years ago she was a rescue. She came with the name Trudy and I'm thinking no way is she going to be Trudy.
In the background on the radio Rod comes on with Maggie May-- And that settled that.
I bet she's adorable too
Where did those years go?
Listening in 2024.
I’m SURE that’s The Fabulous John Peel(RiP) on Stage Also.
Rod has NEVER Lost His Talent Nor Humour as Evidenced By His Performance Doing The Scottish Cup Football Draw LIVE on Television in Scotland(The Motherland) a Few Years Ago!!! :-)
Love his music
From motor City in Detroit sang it good and ❤ it
Jones JOnsi
Yes, that's John Peel on mandolin. Ray Jackson from Lindisfarne recorded the famous solo as a session musician and only got paid £15 for it.
@@big_dave_7178 John Peelwas actually there on stage - but wasn't actually playing - I know - I'm a madolin player! - Actually I think this whole video is mimed. Still my favourite song tho
Has anybody realised yet that this song is over fifty years old?? Don’t care what anybody says but the music of our generation was by far the best and will always be timeless x Mar 24
Ditto!
👍🏼❤❤❤❤❤
I am older than the song but it brings back a good memory of a younger self and a better looking world.
Realized that the song is over Fifty years old Was like 20 yrs One of the best years of my life Being so young 💞
I was a junior in high school when it came out.
After my mom got diagnosed with lung cancer, I brought my gigstar karaoke machine over. She sung this song. I still have the video. She finally passed two and a half years after her diagnosis. She fought so damn hard... This video, and song I will always cherish, because I know just how many times her very ears have heard it and love it. I try to put myself in those exact moments somehow when I listen...
Rip mom august 27th 1957- February 5th 2023 ❤️💜🌎🌈🙏🌙🌍
This is beautiful
Im sorry..... mine too. I was just a teenager
🙏🙏🙏
Dang thats sad😭😭😭😭😭
May she rest in peace, Amen!
Maggie May is one of the greatest song ever made!!! Truly Amazing
I have to agree with that sentiment ! A dear old friend of mine was a Rod Stewart fan. I was a big Slade fan, so we had some good banter.
Amazing song about sexual abuse : Maggie, I wished I never seen your face.
How about "if you think im sexy" thats pretty bad ass too.
I would have to concur with that opinion !
And you wear it so well 👍
It's 2024, I'm 63 now and this is one of the greatest songs in my lifetime.
Rod is truly great. Stairway to Heaven is one of my most loved songs. Nothing greater than a song that lasts decade after decade. It was a fun time, wish I could go back. Today, is a mess compared to then. Our once sweet country is gone.
Eu, em 2024 ouvindo e lembrando de algo que nunca vou ter. Lembranças de uma vida que não aconteceu.
@@inkresponde1021 Dear Ink: if 0ne is alive and healthy the rest d0es n0t matter, trust me
I'm 72 and is one of my favorite song ever.
@@tonymatheson8122 I'm 92 and I still l0ve this song❤❤❤❤
As a barber I have fun watching.
Perhaps a sheep shearer first, then a barber to finish?
I was just wondering if i could get away with a shag cut.... I'm a 60 year wold woman. It would be a change :) I miss when we had actual hair styles.
Sebastian loves Rod Stewart so much as a teenager he liked less rock music and more country music
Back in the day we paid a lot of money for that haircut. And truth be told very few barbers had the skill to do that style. Just one in my town.
Something for the weekend too, sir!
Can't believe this song was released more than 50 years ago.
Old records never die.
Bought his lp when I was in Benidorm Spain. Was on holidays there. Good memories
✌️
Things are still what they were... 😊
Was a junior in high school when it came out.
@@Old-Roper Me too, and now a teacher, teaching this intriguing, slightly salacious age-gap story to a new generation of high school students. And I play mandolin too.
Still listening in January 2021. Still as good as ever. Who's with me?
Me ...great song ❤️
Me too. I like most of his songs, almost all, and it was so nice the 80's ( I know he started in 70's) but the 80's are the top still are...and this singer knew how to go older very well, he really is one rare that looks super, for his age and no plastics, or not exagerated which seems to be a problem, for others. They do so many and start at such younger age, that when they reach 50 the face looks horrible instead of nice.
Man that brings back memories of a girl who stole my heart and never gave back
I'm always getting my heart stolen an broken🥰🥰🥰😂😄😁😁
Yeah, I remember being a child and my mom (late) would be playing this
My wife and I have been married for 47 years. She is 7 years older than I and this song is us. We have adopted this as our song.
47 years married congratulations to you both and what a great song you both adopted to be your song..
That's greedy. What if someone else wants to hear it?
@Sceneyour
You can adopt it too as they do 😂👊🏽
Ummmm.... Odd choice, maybe.
💗
When I was pregnant with my daughter, this song always came up on the drive to work, and she would kick kick kick in the womb. When she was born, knowing then we had an hour, maybe two before she would die, we played this song to her. It’s Sophie’s song. She died of a complex heart condition in September 2020 and the line “you stole my heart and that’s what really hurts” really connects us to the song. I cry whenever this is played.
Ahhh that really hit me. I'm so sorry. God bless her little soul and you and your beloved ❤️
🙏❤️🙏Our deepest condolences to you.
Beautiful and now I something in my eyes
Made me cry. My heart goes out to you. I'm so sorry for such a heartbreaking loss!
God bless your daughter and may her soul rest in never ending peace
I was 15 years old in 71. I remember driving around in my first car. The car filled with all my friends and girls we all knew and partied with all the time. We thought the fun would never end. Such beautiful and fun memories...
Me too….just so glad we are old enough now to have been young enough back then…..stay well my friend
how were you allowed to drive at 15 and how could you party wouldnt be allowed to get in any clubs or pubs
We didn't go to clubs and we drove without licenses. It was a different time my friend. If you gotta ask them you won't understand. Sorry you missed it.
I was an American teenager in the 1970's thank the Lord!...it was a hell of alot easier to ask for forgiveness than it was to ask for permission!👽
Right there with you, my friend. Those were the days.
A wise man once told me, you’ll write your best songs when you’re starving in a bedsit, that man was Rod Stewart.
The soundtrack of my 16th year of life.
Without doubt, the 60’s and 70’s were the best decades for music. It will never be repeated.
Clive Goldhagen I Blame Partridge Family Music turning me into a Rock N Roll freak. My sister was a crazed teenager obsessed with those Long Hair Rock Stars. I did feel bad for her she was born with that IRISH Red Hair. Parents were nuts giving birth to 10 IRISH kids. Us IRISH are Different born with Red Hair & Freckels & sucks most people think all IRISH are DRUNKS. It was cool to see Rolling Stones Led Zeppelin Aerosmith Alice Cooper Doobie Brothers, I even got to see David Cassidy in concert. Not gonna Lie some of 10 kids got crazy with the ALOCHOL. AN IRISH GIRL IS BEST DRINKING BUDDY A GUY COULD ASK FOR. YOU DONT SCARE ME I WAS RAISED BY AN IRISH MOTHER. EVERYBODY LOVES AN IRISH GIRL. KISS ME IM IRISH NO REALLY IM IRISH. IRISH BABYS ARE CUTE WITH FRECKELS. It is True REDHEADS get Bullied at Schools. Sorry with all IRISH Stuff IM JUST VERY PROUD OF MY IRISH HEARTAGE
The 50's and the 80's had some amazing music as well. A 40 year span of timeless music!
You got that absolutely right.
1964 to 1972 some killer songs and more after that just that era was absolutely the finest - Nam helped foster some of those songs like Sky Pilot to name just one.
Lots of great music coming out of North Africa! the u..s. not so much.
I know this is your favorite song. I’m playing it loud for you. R.I.P Dad 2/26/19.
R.i.p. Pop. Sorry for your loss. He's internalized in this song forever now.
Wow. This post gave me chills. Rest in Peace, @KrissyKnits beloved daddy!!
Sorry for your loss I too have lost loved ones but I wanted to share with you first of all in the Bible 2nd Timothy 3:16 all scriptures is inspired of God. That being said at Daniel 2:1 those asleep in the dust of the earth will wake up Romans 4:17 God makes the Dead Alive acts 24:15 there is going to be a resurrection. So our almighty God has given us the scriptures to assure us of better times to come for instance Ecclesiastes 1:4 the Earth remains forever Isaiah 65:25 the lion will eat straw just like the bull. Psalms 3:29 the righteous will possess the Earth and they will live forever on it. for more information go to jw.org
KrissyKnits , sorry for your loss. Cherish the memories
😍😍😍😙😙😆😆
Maggie May got me hooked on to Rod way back in the 70s. This was raw and pure...
It got me hooked also but not in the 70s. It got me hooked when I was about 13. I’m 17 now And still love this song. It’s his best song in my opinion. Do ya think I’m sexy is pretty close tho. If I don’t listen to this song at least 3 time a week i can’t function. It’s like an addiction lol.
@@ltshaw1140 Yep, his best song and i'm 63.
I distinctly remember this song when I was a kid in the mid to late 80s at this house I once lived at just upon moving where I live now. Been a fan ever since. Even more now since he's a model railroader
got me hooked around 2010ish . funny how a song sticks throughout generations
I have loved Rod Stewart since the first time I heard Maggie May in the 70s and I still do! He is the BEST SINGER I have ever heard!
I was senior in HS when this song came out....Im 71 now in 2024 and still loving this vibe.
I was in the 8th grade :)
I'm 81 and still listening to this great guy!!!
Ditto! Loved him thru the years! ❤️🎵🎼🎶
I was 9 and feel the same
Me too!
This song has aged like fine wine.
Heard this song while serving in Vietnam,couldn’t get enough of it.Rod Stewart fan ever since
Thank you for your service Malcom
@@brianfallon1754 appreciate it🙂
Thank you for serving
Thanks for your service from a vet
Thank You for your service, Malcom, Welcome Home Brother.
They don’t/can’t write songs like this anymore, just classic!! 🤗
6-2-23 listenin' and lovin' this guy's gravelly voice and everything about him! The lyrics were sensational!! Where's the writers now that can outdo this? Bring it on! But they won't deliver like Rod's unique voice! (The new singers!) 🌹 rosita
They CAN'T my dear friend.
They can't ! totally different people here on Earth now!
That's why the new generation is mad...we had the best bands/music ❤ let's not forget cars 😊
It's hard to write a song about a simple private life experience in a public world that's crammed into a laptop .
This song makes me a little sad. My parents separated, i was 6 years old, and my Dad moved into this tiny little apartment while they tried to work things out. Me and my siblings and I would go see my Dad there. He was playing this song. I was so sad for my Dad, not for me, for my Dad because I wanted him home & I know he wanted to be home. I remember like it was yesterday.😢 i miss you, Dad & thanks for loving me.
~Shawn
Rest Easy. 🕊☮️✌️
@@Justagirlnamedshawn sorry for your loss
Love You ❤
exact same thing happened to me mate, we where in Germany then they split and mum and kids came back to England leaving it all behind 😢
no wonder i drink every day at 52..never got over it i guess
@jaymatrix5472 sorry to hear that
I was going through three years of hell with the wrong girlfriend in the wrong school studying all the wrong things when this song was popular. Rod Stewart never failed to pick me up out of my misery. I bought a piano and taught myself to play and I would close my eyes and play notes I couldn't name until it sounded the way I was feeling and then I started feeling better. Music can keep you alive.
You nailed it Paul mate 🤘🇦🇺🦘☺️✌️🥃🥃🚬
@@petergiesel3791 😎 Thank you, Peter.
I forgot I wrote that until I got the notification that you read it!
You must have the music in ya too.
Laissez les bon tons rouler!
Thats what i did with guitar....pickin
For real!
Your girlfriend:
I was going through three years of hell with an egotistical/selfish boyfriend.
Don't know why I did not dump him sooner. Probably because it would exacerbate his manic/depressive episodic behavior.
From 1971 to 2022, the first day of school is not the same till I hear this. Thanks Rod for the memories as you have never failed me yet. At 65 I had learned time waits for no one.💕
You said it!!! I’m 61
This song puts me right back to college in 1971❤
Thanks for the love and support you have shown me.
Where are you supporting me from?
@@RodStewartPrivate-lh6lo I reside in North Carolina. You were a blessing again with “Have I told you lately that I love you”. Mom passed away in December of 2020, and my niece got married 3 weeks later. While I sat there, that song began to play. Mom was my soul mate, I do believe it was a message that she loved me and she was very happy in Heaven.
Was a teen when this came out on the radio... Damn, we had the best music!!
Michael VanDyke y’all sure did. I’m 21 I’ll be 22 this year but I’m a old soul at heart
Haven’t heard these songs in decades , 30+ years , but I remember all the lyrics, never aged, never changed, locked away, it’s been three days, enjoying , please stop the loop and leave my head.
We did
so true
Michael VanDyke , yes , we certainly did! Even my mom loved Rod Stewart.... how could you not love that voice!
just so beautiful
It's a song where you understand every word which is rare! Rod was talented
Damn…YES, great point!!
And all a true story about loosing his virginity. Amazing song
He was even a stud then
IS talented and still can rock it.
Yo no entiendo ninguna. No hablo inglés pero me gusta mucho
Say what you like about rod Stewart he's a great performer and he's made some epic tunes
Hello 👋 Sarah
What do people say about Rod Stewart?
@@balajiedlyngdoh8366 that he's mediocre, he sold out back when he did do ya think I'm sexy, he's too old to be performing, but that is people's opinions
@@sarahjaneclarke6614 you’re definitely right. Sarah!
How are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day?
@@sarahjaneclarke6614 but he is sexy. I like him even more now. Thank you 😄
I had just met my husband when this song was released, he’s gone now but this song brings back sweet memories. RIP my love
Fair play to you, keep that same positivity with you!
That's cool 😩but sorry you lost him
💔😔
Bea, I lost my husband a year ago a week ago. Knew him for 40 years. My love & best friend, I miss him so much. I feel your pain Bea. Dusty the 2nd.
Bless ya Bea, remember the Great Times, that's all that matters anyway.
Never get tired of this song. Truly a classic!
The memories.. Oh my God the memories.
What a great moment in time for all of us who were growing up in the 70’s listening to this. ✨
@Dean Galloway Second year of college. Seems like yesteryear! Still sounds great.
@Deborah Merkerson 😉😎
life was so beautiful but we were blind . future is behind us !
I am right there with you
Yes, you are so right! I loved his singing then and I still do.
Ya never get tired of listening to Maggie May!
Great lyrics!
Stay out of my yard though!!!
My first Rod Stewart concert was in 1977. I get to see him this August 2022. I think this will be my last Rod Stewart concert. I wish people didn't get old.

I loved this song. At 18, my family was going through a crises, if I knew then my mom had less than 2 yrs. to live, we would have tried to do things differently. Oh well, now at 67, I hope I know better. Still love this song, & still have the original 45 I got at Woolworths!!
❤
I still have my family's disco stereo juke box sort of deal with flashing coloured lights even also from Woolworth's. Omg and it still works! Kids love it still and said that I can never sell it! :) So awesome! :)
SILLYHEART21 even tho disco sucks it’s a thing of history
Time sure goes by way to fast..😗
I was away from home and had to get back to Fiji

Exactly : he is living legend @

Played today in memory of my childhood neighbor Benny. Every Saturday morning he would blast this song/album! He passed today. RIP my friend. 💔
RIP Benny you had great taste in music. Hope you're still blasting out wherever you are
So sorry for your loss.
@@jimmycricket8170 Benny was a great man! My taste varies, but daily I must have music in my life! My daughter and grandchildren love music as well. In October I took my 16 year old grandson to see Stevie Nicks. His first time, my 14th time! We had a blast! Hello from Western NC.
@@dudewhathappenedtomycountr9099 Thank you. Benny was a good man!
Mtn lady, Benny is “Sailing”on a cloud ears pinned back listening . Bless you both
courted a lovely girl in the 60,s her name was Maggie May,and broke my heart, still think of her today i'm 72 now, sad ,eh
I can relate Terry. good times, bad times. that's the bad part about loving a woman, they do tend to break our hearts. Cheers kid.
That's okay, Terry, you've got a lot of company. I'm 80 and I know what you mean.
Terry Ross Same thing happened to me I told my girlfriend I was born in a big IRISH Family, she then said so you live with a bunch of Drunks. She was partly right most people think all IRISH are DRUNKS. I think IRISH are Special born with Red Hair & Freckels. Its True REDHEADS get made fun of. Grade school the girls said my Freckels were cute on my face. Not gonna lie some of my siblings liked there Alcohol. This is funny 1 Brother thought he be in more trouble in Court cause of his IRISH name. We were 70s kids Brady Bunch, Partridge Family Leave it to Beaver. I still listen to songs from those 70s Concerts. Reguardless Im still Proud of my IRISH HEARTAGE.
Not sad at all my brother, as they say you are a time traveler!
not really buddy. I feel the same about some girls I dated and messed about I may say. regrets
I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this. Clear as a bell. Now, with all the bullshit going on, it seems like I was living on another planet. Times were free and easy back then.
Life was not complicated then
oh for a time machine
It’s called youth
@Jason Thompson Look at you now...so doped you're calling conservatives "Democrats". Better tell your supplier to dial back on the horse tranquilizer.
@Jason Thompson your cooked buddy, how could you bring politics into the comment section of a rod Stewart song? Get your head out of your ass nazi boi
52 years later and I'm still listening and still love it.
I can remember my older sister who is in heaven now in the 70s i was 6 and she was 16 and she would play the vinal 33 of rod Stewart's music maggie may was her favorite song she would sing it to me i know she is singing it it heaven thank you for that memory i keep in my heart.
They don't make music like this anymore. Classic
This is one of my favorite song 🎶 so tell me are you a fan??
60 now, always will be my best memories as a teen hanging out with my friends and listening to Rod 💖
Same here 63, me and my friends got our hair cut like Rod’s and listened to this in my friend’s basement Great Times!!
I'm 62 now and does Maggie May bring back the memories and good times. Haven't listened to it in a long time. I sure miss those days.
BEST DAYS EVER.
My favorite Rod Stewart song.
Forever Young ...
Mine's too
Yeah me too
I like Passion🤣
Super covid19 may cost a lot of his fans but I think his memory and music will live on
My all time favorite! I’m 78 and still listening!
I was 16 and the world was mine working out doors on the Institute Of Technology at the levels which is now Uni SA in Mawson Lakes campus when I first heard this great song.I thought it was never going to stop,and I didn't want it to.Great memories of an era of freedom and happiness of which we probably will never see again unfortunately.Just like Woodstock a once in a lifetime experience.Peace to all.
I can remember being a young girl with my older sister singing this into our hair brushes in our bedroom mirror thank you for the memories
I remember listening to this song as a teenager! It's a CLASSIC. ❤
I’m 83 and I have always loved this tune! It is a mandatory in-car sing along!
Timeless!! Rod was a icon!! Those that grew up with this music are the only ones who can appreciate his talent 😎👍
Lies!! I was born in 90 lol
Don’t be silly.
Miss mayflower your absolutely right
That guitar riff at 2:22. So simple, yet so memorable. Absolute perfection.
Ronnie Wood
Aka Woody 👍
My fave part
This is a Classic and it never grows old !!! Brings back a lot of great memories ❤
Met my girl friend when this was playing..49 years later still married...thanks Rod
Very lucky man tell her u love her
I'm only 20 years old and this song has brought me to tears since I heard my parents sing along to it, looked at each other 🥰 and I see that it's more than love!!! 🌷🌞
It is a beautiful song, A brilliant love song about the ups and downs of a relationship.
@@cray7998 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Hermosa cancion
I met my wife when this song came out still love them both.
That is exceptional guy! Thanks.
Wow that's a long time. Good for you.
Love what you shared!
that's sweet
I was in basic training at Fort Jackson South Carolina. every morning we used to wake up to this song and at that particular time. I hated to hear that song because I knew it was time to get up but hearing it now after all these years I love it.
cwmbryant1952 great memories, stay safe, the sun will shine again.
thanks for your service.
Basic training was not fun!
Love that song! When the right voice, the right music, and the right lyrics come together--it's magic!
É maravilhosa mesmo, não tem como ouvi lá e ficar sem dançar, eu amo essa obra de arte!🇧🇷
I used to dance this song with my first baby inside my belly. Nowadays he is 27 and he is a musician too.
Hello, how are you doing today and the entire family and friends doing today.........
I love this song rod good job 🎉❤❤
What a pretty and fascinating woman ,hello, my darling ?
Who's listening in 2021 with all this BS going down??
We need something too keep our heads above the water!!
This brings back many good memories for the most of us. Thanks UA-cam. And Rod Stewart for the best music of all time!!
One of the best tracks of the early 70's.
I was in Junior High. I waited for my crush to walk out of art class and I sang this to her - badly. It worked!!! We've been together for 53 years.
Is her name also Maggie?
If not ..she did not questioned you if you were kind a confused with another girl?🤪🤪.
18 yrs old when this came out seeing this on top of the pops. Fab times- 70's were great. Glad that I belonged to those times. Forever grateful!
I remember my new husband and I driving to the airport hotel after our wedding reception 1971… this was playing on the radio, it always makes me smile when I hear it, still does 52 years later❤🎼❤
Thanks for the love and support you have shown me.
Where are you supporting me from?
When this record came out I went to a record shop to buy it as a present for a friend. I came home with the album ‘Every Picture Tells A Story’ as well. I still got it.
when you think of me try not too Laugh
Rod Stewart! Happy 80th birthday! This divine song remains as beautiful as ever even after 54 years! And I sincerely hope that you will have a healthy, happy and wonderful year this year!
I'm 70 now and still love This song I still love Rod Stewart his music is fab

I’ve heard it a 1000x and sure hope to hear it 1000 more. The signature song for all signature songs
Never get tired of this song.

"Maggie May" is more than just another song; it holds a sentimental place in my heart. The nostalgic opening guitar riff, coupled with Rod Stewart's soulful vocals, transports me back to the carefree days of my youth. The lyrics perfectly capture the unrequited love and coming-of-age experiences that many of us can relate to.
This song showcases Rod Stewart's undeniable talent. The combination of his raspy yet melodic voice, the energetic guitar solos, and the infectious rhythm creates an unforgettable listening experience. The folk-inspired melodies seamlessly blend with rock elements, making "Maggie May" a true masterpiece of musical craftsmanship.
Many classic rock bands have a signature song. Maggie Mae is Rod Stewart's. The mandolin is what made this song a classic
Now a new year has come in and I wanted to know who is still listening to this classic from a better time on earth
I purchased a puppy named Maggie Mae a while back. She was was the best God damn dog ever! I recently lost her. We all love you Rod!!
I had a dog named Maggie May too. 16 when she passed. Im sorry for you loss..
These were the times, I was young. All sorts of music. Still love Rod. One of the best .
you’re still young steve. as young as you want to be 💘
Just heard this song for the first time yesterday and I've listened to it at least 30 times since. Great song!
Met my future spouse in August of '71. This song was on the radio, top ten all the rest of that year. We dated and fell in love to this song . . . it was great then and it is greater now. This song is timeless.
Ya, it’s so good
Welcome to Earth
have you tried Pizza yet?
Am 80 and still listen and like Maggie may the one and only rod Stewart sings it
Wow I can't believe it the first time I heard this was 51 years ago. And it is still as good to listen to as ever.
Late September 1971 living in Brooklyn NY with my aunt ,walking up with this song.Remembering my aunt,cousins ,now they are all dead.😢
Rod is as good in his 70’s in the ‘20’s as he was in his 20’s in the ‘70’s !
jeez, I was 15 yo & in the 9th grade. Everyone loved that song except my mother. She took exception to the lyrics "mother what a lover, you wore me out" and "all you did was wreck my bed" haha but true
Song of my youth. My wife and i have listened to it for 50 yr
Story of my youth
Graduated high school in 1972. Songs like this were part of my introduction to a world I didn’t know existed outside the 4 walls of home. I longed for more of what the world had to offer. I was so excited to experience excitement. I had a high school boyfriend but he was not that into me however when I heard rock music I realized there were other guys around besides him. I knew nothing because I’d experienced nothing. But I was eager and ready.
Brings back a lot of memories
Rod Stewart sat behind me at the Royal Opera House in 2002. I'm sure everyone knew who he was, but no one bothered him or asked for an autograph. He is a very cool guy
Almost 63 years old here and still love the old Rod Stewart music just like I did when it first came out!
just like fine wine or whiskey
This song came out when I was two and I remember it through my entire childhood and adulthood. It is my absolute favorite song. I have no idea what it is about it, but I dig it
You can look the meaning up.
GOSH my dad passed away 2 year ago to this date. This was one of his favorite songs and hearing this reminds me of him so much. His smell facial expressions. Driving in the van across country with my family as a youngin. Miss u Bubba. You were my whole world. Our family will never be the same.
what a pretty breathtaking goddess ,hello ,my sweetie ?
Thanks for the love and support you have shown me.
Where are you supporting me from?
I was age 7 in September 71 when I first heard this in the U.S. Since then it has always reminded me of the Halloween season. I'm happy my much older sister played her music way too loudly!
Listening 5/13/22, Friday The 13th because I just saw him on Real time with Bill Maher, and it brought back many memories. My absolute favorite Rod Stewart song
Yup me too. Deep moment when Bill gave him the single
I will add, me too, gurrl. Always makes me happy to run upon this tune.
That's what made me come here to listen. My horse is named Maggie Mae. That's how much I love this song.
@@joanpeters9330 brilliant song to name your horse after. Infact 1 of the greatest songs in half a century.

Sweet sixteen I was! The village stretford on big screen is when I seen his face xxxx roll on rod xxx❤👍
@@susanthomas9610 i see. Sound good, im originally from brazil, but i live in miami florida, do you have kids???
Driving with you down North Lamar in Austin, you had this old rambler i think it was, it had push buttons for the gears lol.. I really learned to drive in that old clunker thanks to you, we'd go horseback riding at your uncle's ranch.. then you were drafted to Vietnam.. before leaving you dedicated this song to me, you wrote me letters, sent me this recorded 45 of your voice, sent me a beautiful silk house dress, and very touching Holy Bible that i still have today..some 53 years later, so, wherever you are Sid Smith thanks for the memories, I will never ever forget you..I wish things had turned out differently, but I guess it wasn't meant to be.. maybe, just maybe we shall meet again in the next life..🙏❤️🙏🕊️✌️
The concert was simply amazing - fantastic show. When we returned home we listened to Maggie May again - couldn’t believe that the song is more than fifty years old. I am 69 and Rod Stewart has been around basically all my life ❤️
Rod should have won an award for best microphone stand twirler.
Hello, how are you doing today and the entire family and friends doing today......
Me elizabeth bennett im 85 yrs.young thanks to the super talents of that era.my friends are passing away didnt let this music in the veins..ill meet Rod one day but bet we cant sing Maggie in Heaven
soon to be 78 years on this earth and still enjoy these Beautiful memories … Thank you Rod for this one It’s special … Maggie May
time FLIES AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT IT'S GONE
There are people who were born, lived into their early 60s, and died, all within Rod Stewart's career; that is how long her has been around as an entertainer. Astounding!!
My dad loved this song and I hated it. I was 10 or so and in the car when Maggie came on I always fast-forward the song.. Years later I began to like the song. To bad my dad ain't here anymore. We would listen to it together. He never new that one day I liked the song... I'll play it again, maybe he is listening 🙏
I was the same age when I first heard this song and my mom loved it and I also secretly liked it but would not admit it! Also miss her and wish we could sing it together now and I could tell her she really did have great taste in music!
@@QueenFan-cj4jh it is sad..cant turn the time back. Wish I could
It is called being mature. Comes sooner or later. But you have to accept life as it comes in installments . It does not present itself in full at once. Good thing too!!! We'd give up!
My dad showed me Roddy a few months ago, showed me I was only joking! I’m 18 and have loved Roddy ever Since! Sorry about your dad my man! Sure he’s looking down on ya jamming to Maggie!!
He is listening
Love this song, love this era of music, the unmistakable voice of Rod
