He was my favourite front man in the second line up of manfred manns band and wasn't he ahead of his time on every performance isn't that the first sign language he was showing us
This makes me feel loving and free and sweet-sad happy all these years later. Maybe it is the same feel I had all those years ago playing it on a tiny turnable one hot summer.
Brilliant memories 54 years ago where did it go such incredible talent in the 1960s best decade ever so difficult to get a no1 record in those days with all the acts around ❤
Another great song by the "Manfred Mann" Band alongside many others like "Ha Ha said the Clown" , "Mighty Quinn", "Pretty Flamingo" and so on. Melodies that go straight to the ear have been her trademarks. Well known, popular and loved until today. I grew up with this ! - Thanks for loading and thanks to UA-cam for possibility. -
She walked through the corn leading down to the river Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun She took all the love that a poor boy could give her And left me to die like a fox on the run Like a fox on the run Everybody knows the reason for the fall When woman tempted man down in paradise's hall This woman tempted me, then took me for a ride But like the lonely fox I need a place to hide We'll pour a glass of wine to fortify our soul We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know I see a strange girl she'll put me on the floor The game is nearly over the hounds are at my door
My father bought me this when i was about seven years age from a second hand shop. I really got to like it and played it lots, on the first real record player i had.
@sweetcup6694 Back in the early 90s the members of Manfred Mann got back together without Manfred himself who was still touring with his Earth Band. They couldn't legally call themselves Manfred Mann so they became The Manfreds. As of 2024 they are still touring with original members Paul Jones and Tom McGuinness.
After Manfred Mann split in 1969. Manfred mann did chapter three and then Manfred Mann earth band while the other regroup into two offshoot Manfred mann blues band and Paul Jones and mike D'ado in the Manfred.
Damn, I loved this song and then I saw this video! The appeal of the cute half shyness is only raised by the random head whip to look into the camera! Lol. If only I was born thirty years earlier! 😜
This incarnation of Manfred Mann produced a string of catchy hit singles, but to me most of them, while well-executed, were bland and rather forgettable. Tom McGuinness does a convincing job of jollying this one along, but the truth is he, drummer Mike Hugg and Manfred himself were tired of having to peddle this sort of stuff to make a living. (I once saw a short doco* on The Blues Band, narrated by Willy Rushton, in which Tom stated that unequivocally.) Note how you never see Mike H full-face in this clip. He always did look a bit grumpy, even in the early days, at having to do the pop-star thing. By this time he'd have been positively thunderous. * I've looked more than once for this on YT, but not a trace. The BBC made it, so I guess they're guarding their copyrights as ferociously as ever.
These reminds me of singing these song while walking to school. That school was Our Lady of Lourdes in New Orleans at the corner of Napoleon Ave. and Freret St.
Kind of funny that a song first recorded by an English Band best known for their Bob Dylan & Bruce Springsteen covers has become in turn an American Bluegrass Music Standard.
Jones has way more presence than D'Abo, as I noted seeing the Manfreds last Autumn. D'Abo fits in perfectly with the group, and he is a distinguished songwriter in his own right.
This is such a magnificent song with incredible chorus vocals. I can't understand why the group itself dismissed this as crap as the time. Anyone know who sings what in the choruses.
They dismissed this as crap?? I recently discovered this, since it bombed in the USA! It's great -- the lyrics are deeper than they realized, apparently.
AT the harmony workshop (most recent camp-pick in), Jimbo kindly provided this history, in part indicating the bridge in the original was quite different from the BG version we know. And here to hear. Thanks Harry; it's very interesting, but I'll still take the "straight" bluegrass version with my added vocal bass part.
First version of this song I ever heard was Tom T Hall, then maybe 40 years went by before I found this version. TTH's version was good but this is great.
The song by The Sweet is one of my all time favorites but this is an excellent song. I love this video. It looks as though these guys are genuinely having fun with it. The camera switches and the lead singers reactions are so fun to watch.
Loved this song in 1969, still love it in 2022!
This is still one of my favourite songs
Go bluegrass!! You'll never regret
Oh how I absolutely love this song.
This was their best song, in my opinion. Michael d'Abo had a phenomenal voice.
He was my favourite front man in the second line up of manfred manns band and wasn't he ahead of his time on every performance isn't that the first sign language he was showing us
Great song. So simple. I was so young then. Still ❤ it!

The 60s far better than the trash today.
Daring today, aren’t we boomer?
Puss@@Hal9000ize
I agree
@@Hal9000izeBoomer and proud.😂
There’s was plenty of trash from the 1960s too ! Even The Beatles n Rolling Stones dished it out in terms of album fillers
2023 for me. Another classic.
This so feels like a British song...full of story and lyrics backed by simple riffs and back beat.
With the brilliant Klaus Voorman on bass (designer of The Beatles Revolver album artwork among many other wonderful pieces)
And - not to forget - the bass player on You're so vain.
Bass player Klaus Voormann lives in my region. (Lake Starnberg. Upper Bavaria. Germany)

Great song ! I love just like a woman by these guys also
@@lilylind4834 Just like a woman was a great song by this very professional band.
wish I could have these days back again music was ace
Underrated band!
Never underrated dude do your research please.God Bless.
what a brilliant band they were so so many fantastic songs
The song became a bluegrass standard when Bill Emerson covered it.
mike was a great replacement for paul he fitted nicely
and looked like him too.
@@glennhfriedman4571 most likely was another deciding factor
I loved Mike. Great replacement choice for Paul Jones. He was every bit as good and professional.
She walked through the corn leading down to the river
Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun
She took all the love that a poor boy could give her
And left me to die like a fox on the run
Like a fox on the run
Everybody knows the reason for the fall
When woman tempted man down in paradise's hall
This woman tempted me, then took me for a ride
But like the lonely fox I need a place to hide
We'll pour a glass of wine to fortify our soul
We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know
I see a strange girl she'll put me on the floor
The game is nearly over the hounds are at my door

Lovely time stunning girlfriend way out of my .league. bsa motorcycle /not a care in the world fantastic music! Fantastic time to be a teenager !
Still love this as much now as back then.
0:25 Sweet used a similar vocal bridge to their "Fox On The Run".
interesting seeing klaus voorman; it's known in the u.s. mostly as a bluegrass song.
All these years later the Manfreds still perform this brilliantly.
Ten year old comment but just who are the Manfred's? LOL

Das war früher noch Musik anders als der Schrott heute das kommt nie wieder
Agree the 60s decade will still be played in 200 years time the rest will disappear for ever ❤

When music was music.
"She took all the love that her poor boy could give her" LOVE IT! ❤️

Someone tried to tell me once that the only song with the title 'Fox on the Run' was by Sweet. I wish UA-cam had been around then.
Manfred Mann had two U.K No.1 hits and 13 other top 10 hits during the between 1964-69.
3 UK number 1 hits. Do wah Diddy, Pretty Flamingo and Mighty Quinn.
I love everything about this song but it has to be one of the absolute best chorus of all time.
Can’t beat 60s tunes to get you singing along 🎶like a fox, like a fox 🦊
Yeah this good old sixties what a time we had todays singers can not sing very sadly
This will always be one of my favorite songs.

Who knew back then this song would become a great Bluegrass song!!

Tom McGuinness a vastly underrated guitarist in my view
Is that the cute guy with the glasses on?
@@joannefalkinder393 He's the one playing the guitar. Yes, he's wearing glasses.
@@karenl5114 you'made my fucking day love
I can have a good time to night. Thank you
So agree He's the only musician I know that can produce his sound on the acoustic/electrified acoustic guitar
The virgin by the Sweet is so different
anyone else absolutely love klaus or is that just me
For me he's the most gentle and discreet beatle (ehehe), a great designer, a cool and wise artist
I loved Klaus. Thought he was wonderful. His luxuriant dark hair, blue eyes and exquisite bone structure. I though Klaus had charisma too. 💗
Who's Klaus
@@joannefalkinder393 Klaus Voorman, bass player.
Such great late 60's pop......
Wonderful pop song
Fantastic song. The camera men were having a laugh though 😂
Fab song
Now if ever there was class - here it comes.
Indeed
the manns single endings were often interesting as in fox on the run and my name is jack...a frustrated band mad to improvise.
very clever remark
Forgot to say best Manfred song
mike d 'abo .
An old favourite of mine! You can tell they were enjoying their performance too!
Great song. They don't make em like that any more.
@@helencampbell4900 so true!
This is one hell of a song, beats the shit they hollar now.
Des Hood 😂😂😂😂😂👍🇬🇧
That must be a "Grand Hammond Piano" LOL HAAAA!
lol
What A Great Band !
Organ killing it
Just woke up with this in my head, and was surprised when UA-cam told me it was by Sweet ???????????????????????????????
That was a completely different song with the same title.
@@hedgemist691 Yes, I watched a bit of it - but not much ..................
Klaus Voormann!!
🦊
Sophisticated pop, what has happened to the joy and innocence? Mike Hugg grossly under rated as a drummer and composer.
That Klaus......the boy had the looks for certain....
He certainly did.
And still do.
Masterpiece!! I love ❤ it
I wonder if this influenced or inspired The Sweet? Particularly that bit that has a crescendo vocal cadence.
its a shame its lip synced
Listen to ragamuffin
Man
Jones has way more presence than D'Abo, as I noted seeing the Manfreds last Autumn. D'Abo fits in perfectly with the group, and he is a distinguished songwriter in his own right.
Opinions dear dude are like backsides we all have one don't we
@@jamessim1858 Mike had big shoes to fill and in my opinion, he managed to fill Paul's shoes. Great replacement.
What bass is Klaus playing? Looks like a Jaguar with a bass neck?
This is such a magnificent song with incredible chorus vocals. I can't understand why the group itself dismissed this as crap as the time. Anyone know who sings what in the choruses.

Find Country Gentlemen and Tom T Hall for American versions of the song.

And here to hear. Thanks Harry; it's very interesting, but I'll still take the "straight" bluegrass version with my added vocal bass part.
Translate into English please
Never could decide if I preferred Mike or Paul. I think for me Paul’s voice just won out - he seemed a bit more mischievous too!
Yes, I agree! Paul had the pipes and a twinkle in his eye!
It's 2024 and I still haven't decided if they've decided if they're a British or a Southern US band...
glen h friedmann
it's not the same song ,but just the same title,
Great key change 👍 thought this was going to be the Sweet ...but earlier , what a find
Sweet's Fox On The Run is crap compared to this.
With all that hair...... which one is Doyle?
Just WOW!🤩
Dylanesque type copy. Again.
Vikings inside , rurik
perfect pop-rock song
The Bluegrass version of this song sounds better
First version of this song I ever heard was Tom T Hall, then maybe 40 years went by before I found this version. TTH's version was good but this is great.
That smile at 0.18 💖
Through fields of gold
99 million
Brill tune
Can someone tell me who the guitarist with the glasses is. Wowwwwwwwwwww
Tom mcguinness who still plays with the Blues Band and is still cute.
@@lynhugell6563 thank you
Shit
❤❤
While this is not a really good song by Manford man they were a very very good man
No you're just an idiot. It is a great song. You have no soul and can't appreciate perfect Harmonies
@@MrHifihifi I loved this song together with it's perfect harmonies. It deserved to reach the number 1 slot.
******************************
Russian fakes by not understanding
I preferred this version to the Sweet's
Yeah, they're two different songs. Not versions of one another.
two different songs with the same name, but i agree this is so much more better.
The song by The Sweet is one of my all time favorites but this is an excellent song. I love this video. It looks as though these guys are genuinely having fun with it. The camera switches and the lead singers reactions are so fun to watch.
Pretty dismal compared to the bluegrass version.
