Neil,,, i bet you never read this Clip,,,, but, please know that you brought great joy and emotion to so many who love their mums, when we could not find the words, you sang them so beautifully for us., ...at 11 back in 76, my mother nursed me through my heart Operation, and we used to listen to you many times ,,, in 2018, when i nursed her for just the 5 weeks they gave her, in so much suffering fighting Cancer, only to take her from us, and so gain i played her your song.. and we cried together... i held her hand as she passed away that day... Thank you Neil for helping bring out the Love from within my heart.....
As a child Neil I watched you on Op Knocks and loved Bills song and your beautiful rendition. I later covered this song and fortunately corresponded with Bill via Martin Kershaw the producer. Your version is the Very Best but I enjoyed every moment recording the beautiful song you and Bill created. 🙏.

@@xdra31 Ha ha ha, stop pulling my leg, ha ha ha! This was a quick cash-in for some cynical record executive’s leaving present. Anybody could write something so universally appalling but it took a special type of person to waste 50p on it. Thankfully it has vanished without trace, as has the scarily dreadful poofter who farted out the vocals. My goodness, whilst I know you are only ribbing me there were actually women so incredibly idiotic that they actually bought it! Where were they when I was selling vacuum cleaners door to door?
@@Tampo-tiger commenting twice at least here when you clearly don't like it, makes zero sense. Most people don't stop to comment on things they don't like because they don't watch it. Seems you needed the attention, you needed someone to talk to you. I hope it made you feel better
Neil - don't believe I found this; just been playing your old vinyl LPs (literally) and wondered what you were doing these days - you are SO handsome! Also, I was not aware you'd carried on singing - would LOVE a CD of you singing now - you still have a fabulous voice! Thanks for this Clip!

@@nintendy *That makes you sound even sadder nintendy. The fact that you sit at home listening to Neil Reid's **_"...old vinyl LPs"_** (literally or otherwise) says it all really. Can anyone play LP's which AREN'T old or made from vinyl by the way? See what I mean nintendy? Bless!*

What an idiotic question! What happens in a person's life to buy a record like that, is that they have a mother who they genuinely appreciate, and who they think (or thought) the world of. Do you have any more questions in order to safely brand you as a moron, or was it just the one?
@@Tampo-tiger No I'm not, and I never bought the record either, but I'm curious... What happens in a person's childhood that makes them grow up into an unemotional twat like you? lol.

this record hits you right in heart, it bloody hurts.
It is fairly painful, yea.
I've only to hear a few bars of it and I am projectile vomiting like a garden sprinkler. It really is one of the most dreadful dirges ever concocted.

Most beautiful version.
Those early 70s sideburns!

O and I am from Glasgow too
He was a year older than me but I remember Neil so well.
I thought Neil always said his voice broke and he can't sing anymore, he sounds ok here as an adult.
I was on the same show
Were you Reid's psychiatrist?
Best version
Pretty cool!
imádom
He has aged well

Great to see Hughie Green. But no sign of the clapometer.
Truly grim days.
No, very colourful in fact. It was the era of glam rock.🙂
@@ianstrange5674 Reid should have been humanely destroyed. This whole enterprise was a low point for mankind.
Yea right ::::;;:
We were told his voice broke.

I rarely make critical comments on UA-cam sections but that was such an ignorant and foolish question.
It was the 70's different time more innocent ,unlike the twats who follow influencers on you tube
My opinion has nothing too do with you - now bog off!
