"S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT"
Their biggest hit!!
A fun tune.
I still sing this one from time to time ❤
Did you see their tv show?
such a fun song ❤
Who else still sings this when writing Saturday? Just me?
All the time!
I can not explain how HUGE this band was in the late 70's. They were on the cover of every teen magazine, every girl and teenage girl had posters of the Bay City Rollers on their bedroom wall, they even had their own tv show. The Bay City Rollers sold 120 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling artists of all time.
Amd some of us teen guys, too 😋
Yep my bedroom wall was covered in their poster's.
It really was 1974 to 76
I was one of those girls. Posters everywhere.
“Rollermania….” It was a real thing….
WOW! Thank you so much! The pretty Irish boy in the stars and stripes jacket, on rhythm guitar, is my beloved Husband, Ian Mitchell...he passed away on Sept. 1, 2020. At 14, he was my favorite BCR and ended up being the love of my life. He also became a proud American in 2005.
My best friend from Middle school in TX, sent me this and your review made me smile! This song was produced by Jimmy Ienner, a top man in the industry...that is why it is so wonderful. It was recorded in Toronto, Canada, June '76 (from what I recall as the month) for their album...Dedication.
And the backing vocals...."Ahhh be with you." Well, my Husband's vocals can clearly be heard. Jimmy knew Ian had a sweet voice at almost 18 years old. In fact if this song came on while we were driving and listening to an oldies station, Ian would sing the backing vocals along with the song. Of course, by the time this happened, Ian was in his 30's plus, and his voice, a bit deeper...but still...spot on! Thank you again for reviewing this!
I am so sorry for your loss, Wendy. Ian is missed by many.
@@booksnbeaches7075 ---- Thank you! And yes, he was such a great guy and the fans loved him. Down to Earth and humble. And to me...my everything. I still cry everyday. He was my love and my life...
My deepest condolences on the loss of your dear husband, Ian. He was such an awesome addition to the group. When he passed away I watched the Dedication video many times~ and cried. May he rest in peace and watch over you. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
@@ClaudiaGilmanMais ----Thank you so much!
Hi from Ireland. So sorry to hear of Ian's passing. I didn't even know he was Irish. This is my favourite Bay City Rollers song. The whole sound was amazing and yes you can clearly hear his amazing vocals.
OMG The Bay City Rollers!!!!! I ADORED them! Les, Eric, Derek, Woody and Alan. I had their posters on my bedroom walls and on my locker at school. I knew every word of every song and truth be told to this day I have a CD in my car of their greatest hits, yes they had greatest hits, and I still play their songs while traveling down the road. People laughed at me then and they laugh at me now for loving them but I am a proud Bay City Rollers fan! It's S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night!
They were fantastic when I was a young tween.....I actually saw them in concert in 1976! I'm sad that Les, Alan and Ian have passed away. 😔
You go girl!! Sandy you could be best friends with my older sister, lol!
ME TOO!! I'll never forget buying their album, getting it home and it being scratched. I was devastated. Had to return it. Oh the wait was painful. Played it over and over. Fell in love with Woody very quickly. S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT!!!!
@@kemarieblack3730 I joined their fan club. I still remember the S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y (coincidence?, I think not) morning when that big envelope arrived in the mail. It was filled with treasures from the boys chosen just for me. I remember the stacks of Teen Beats and 16 Magazines on my nightstand. Les was my favorite but to this day Eric's eyes make me melt.
Don’t even get me started on Starsky and Hutch! I’ve wanted a red Torino since I was 13. I was sure I’d marry Starsky. Loved them!
This was a fun band from Scotland in the mid 70s they were all over the teen magazines. Saturday Night was was their biggest hit. Dusty Springfield did the original I Only Want to be with You
They made it cool to be Scottish at my American high school. Still had to "talk American" to be understood, but it was a start 🤣
Tioraidh an-drasta 🏴
The Tourists fronted by Annie Lennox also did a good cover of this song.
Growing up in Michigan I thought they were from Bay City Michigan at first.😂
@@mwsjohn I bought their single out of curiousity and loved Annie's vocals. It did ok here in America, but their other singles were superb as well.
@@williamratcliffe7794 Always loved Annie's version, I have the Eurythmics greatest hits album, I highly recommend it if you don't already have it. ua-cam.com/video/UL89KQJQ3Zk/v-deo.html
My inner 13 year old fan girl is screaming and singing at the top of lungs! I was totally in love with them.
I am with ya girl!! Goosebumps!
Me too! Who was your favorite? Mine was Woody
@@pennyrollings4897 Les McKeown
Me too!
Right!! 😆
It's so nice to see The Bay City Rollers getting some love and appreciation. Thank you for sharing this video with us. Here in the UK they really started to gather momentum in 1974, with songs like Remember, Summer Love Sensation and Shang a Lang, then in 1975 they went stellar when Bye Bye Baby reached No. 1 in the charts. I think every single girl (me included) at school was in love with them and it became known as Roller Mania. Sadly, by 1976, the band was ridiculed by our pathetic media and BCR fans were made to feel embarrassed for liking them, which is unbelievable when you think about it and it ruined their popularity here.
I'm 62 now and around twenty seven years ago had the pleasure to meet Les Mckeown, who was the love of my life when I was 15, and he became a good friend. A lovely man, but troubled by addiction, and it was so sad that both he and Alan Longmuir, who, along with his brother Derek, founded the band (which to begin with was called The Saxons), are no longer with us.
This was a big hit for Dusty Springfield back in the 60’s! You guys really need to check this out! I think you might have done “Son of a Preacher Man” by her already! It would be good to do a reaction to her version next! 🥰
The covers by Nicolette Larson and by The Tourists (with Annie Lennox) are just as entertaining in their own way. Love all four versions.
Son of a Preacher Man is the best song ever
YES, and DUSTY SPRINGFIELD'S was the ORIGINAL version, ua-cam.com/video/CL7t22rypew/v-deo.html that the Rollers covered.
All Dusty's songs are great!!
The best band then & still are now for me.
If we're talking Bubblegum Pop, then may I suggest "Sugar Sugar" by The Archies (group is based on Archie comics). That, in my opinion is the *epitome* of Bubblegum music.
Number One song of 1969. I suggested it a few months ago thinking their daughters would enjoy it. It's catchy beyond belief.
Then we must mention Yummy, Yummy, Yummy by the Ohio Express. It was my favorite song as a 4 year old; thanks to my oldest sister who was 14 😊.
Also "Sugar Shack" (1963), by Jimmy Gilmore and the Fireballs.
"There Coming to Take Me Away (haha)" "Purple People Eater"
YES!! I AGREE!! 👍🏻😃👍🏻
My favorite band of all time. Sold over 120 million records and never got paid. Worth checking into more. Yesterdays hero, Saturday night may be some more to check iut
Jay/Amber, their "Saturday Night" is a banger and was a huge hit in the US. My sister has the album. They were bigger in Europe than the US.
Although not a hit in the US, I personally like Shang a Lang.
S-A-TUR-DAY Night! Loved that song!
@@WhatAboutThemApples a Satur

Oh my God... I can't believe you guys are reacting to the Bay City Rollers. I had a huge crush on the drummer. I had several scrapbooks put together because I was an obsessed fan. I live in Tampa Florida. Took a trip down to Miami Florida to see them in concert. They're from Edinburgh Scotland. I even dressed like them when I went to their concert. I'm so glad you're all the reacting to them. Their first hit in the USA was Saturday Night. I had all their albums, including their imported ones. I'm completely tickled by the fact that you are reacting to them.
And Ian Mitchell was from N. Ireland. :)
You have to listen to their hits, first "S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y Night" and second "The Way I Feel Tonight". They were one of the top "boy bands" of the mid 70s and sold over 120 million records world wide making them one of the best selling artists of all time.
I haven't even watched yet and I can't breath because I'm so excited for this one! I loved loved loved Bay City Rollers....Saturday Night was also a big fave, but this one. Oh my 💜
In the 70s they were so popular. I can remember the girls in the school playground chanting
"B-A-Y
B-A-Y
B-A-Y-C-I-T-Y
with an R-O double L - E - R - S, Bay City Rollers are the best"
Some of the boys would change best for pest. But they were so popular with pre and young teens.
Most under rated band ,happy memories from the 70s,there music still makes me smile,still love them many years on 🥰🥰
I had to jump on here first thing when I saw Bay City Rollers. The first album I ever bought. Scotland grows them well I must say. 😎
You've got to see So I married an Axe Murderer!
The Scottish dad has a Wall of Scottish Fame with pictures of Scottish people who are famous and the Bay City Rollers are in the wall.
Och, the cover of Saturday Night by Ned's Atomic Dustbin video is very Scottish @
@@chrisakarazor9612 one of my favorite movies!!!
Original BCR fan here. Rollers 4ever & always! 💕
I grew up listening to The Bay City Rollers ,I was 7 now I'm 54 and still listening to them.Even my daughter loved there songs.😺😺😺
The BCR was a HUGE part of my life. R.I.P. Leslie Richard MCKeown. I had the chance to meet him several times and he was ever gracious and so kind. I pray his soul is at peace. Thanks Les…for everything
S A T U R D A Y Night..! HUGE HIT..ROLLERMANIA was gigantic..!
OMG! I used to roller skate to that song. Such great memories🙂
OMG!!!!....your listening to them....they were my favorites....the lead singer Les Mckeown passed away last year, hes very sadly missed, 2 others that left earlier on are also passed away ...they were a great band....I'm in my 60's now and i still listen to them.....u have to listen to more of their songs....❤
"Bye,bye baby", "Give a little love", "Shang a lang" and "Keep on dancin" were all huge hits for the Rollers in the Uk in the early to mid 70's...check out "The Rubettes", " The Glitterband" "Showaddywaddy", and " Mud" similar bands from that genre,all very popular with loads of huge hits between them 👍👍👍
i;m going to suggest the Wombles (and Mike Batt- Summertime City)
Sugar Baby Love by The Rubettes would be awesome, they'd love it as they love a falsetto!
They had a number one hit with their cover of 'Bye Bye Baby.' Another good one is 'You Made Me Believe In Magic.' For a nice ballad, try 'The Way I Feel Tonight.'
Great options
The Pie! 💜💜
Bye bye baby. was originally by - the Four Seasons in the 60s
@@raye402 Yep. interesting that BCR felt confident to cover it and release as a single.
I never cared for the Bay City Rollers but my best friend in school was OBSESSED with them. What wonderful memories this brings to mind. S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y Night comes to mind when I hear them.
First record I ever bought was the 45 of Saturday Night!
I wasn’t either but that song makes me think of the movie So I Married An Axe Murderer which I love
I was one of the OBSESSED...lol.
Lol man I remember when the Bay City Rollers broke famous in Canada, I was in grade 6. And all the girls in my class were infatuated with them.
They also had a Saturday morning variety show on tv that i watched religiously. It didn't last long sadly. S...A...T...U...R...D...A...Y.....night!
My friend and I were obsessed with this band! We had all their albums! We went to one of their concerts at a theme park. It was during the day in the middle of summer! It was so hot and we waited in line for hours but it was worth it! My favorite band member was Ian. We made our own BCR shirts. My friends mom sewed plaid material on white shirts with our names on the back. Memories!😊
As a Scot who was a teenager in the 70s, the “Rollers” were Huge! Lots of TV appearances, magazine coverage, you name it, they were on it! 😊🏴
I can hardly beleive you both have done this reaction - but love you for it - I was involved with them as their 'support band' during 1974 early '75 Les McKeown's (Vocalist) brother Hari (McKeown) was our Vocalist and we were also managed by Tam Paton who managed to take a fortune from us. At the time we lived/rehearsed in a house in Kilbarchan, Scotland while BCR were based in Edinburgh. (Yes I am now 68 yrs of age) but just so you know they were all great musicians and did all their own work LOL And a great time was had! Would love you to go down the rabbit hole LOL
My favorite song by The Bay City Rollers was and has always been "You Made Me Believe In Magic"
Eric's song,you made me believe in magic.
They were huge in the 70s. I was around 12yrs old when they came on the scene. I had a huge crush on a few of the members. This brings back a lot of cool memories.
I was in love with the Bay City Rollers!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰🥰🥰
When you say it has a 60's feel, you're not wrong. This is a cover of a Dusty Springfield song from 1964.
Wow. Memories. The first concert I ever went to, when I was 13, was the WRKO Christmas Concert in Boston, Massachusetts. The Bay City Rollers, Andy Gibb, and Shaun Cassidy were the performers.
With Blitzkrieg Bop The Ramones were going for the same type of catchy sing-along vibe as the Bay City Rollers' Saturday Night.
Need to listen to DUSTY SPRINGFIELD from the 60's. She did this song in a really energetic way!
I was a "roller" fan and saw them in concert in Portland OR at the Paramount in 1976. My walls were covered with posters and I bought magazines weekly. Bassist Stuart "Woody" Woods, lead singer (RIP) Leslie McKeown, lead guitar Eric Faulkner, drummer Derek Longmire and rhythm guitar on this video was Ian. Ian was only in the band a short time taking over for Derek's brother (RIP) Alan Longmuire. Thanks for giving these guys a listen, you brought tears to my 59 year old eyes as I sang along. With 17 total albums (ones released in US and in UK) there are several songs. I even cut my hair like them and my Mom sewed tartan down the legs of our jeans and on the bottom. Woody was my fav, so my nickname was Woody; to lingering delight of my classmates at our school reunions. Summer Love Sensation was always one of my fav's - but you cant go wrong with any of them.
I had such a crush on Ian!
I was a huge fan; also had the posters on the walls/teen magazines/tartan on the clothes/every album (including UK ones)/watched the Sat. show...had tickets to see them but it got cancelled--was so unhappy!
My favorite was Eric; had a poster of Eric in a white satin kimono hanging right next to my bed--OMG, those eyes!
SATURDAY NIGHT~~Yesterday's Hero~~ Rock N' Roll Love Letter~~Money Honey~~The Way I Feel Tonight~~You Made Me Believe In Magic~~Dedication~~Give A Little Love, are some great BCR songs to check out
I really loved "Rebel, Rebel" (cover song/David Bowie); it was great to hear Eric singing...
I love that too.. Eric did a great job, ( not to mention he is my favorite Roller).. I still have their albums.
I was in LOVE with the Bay City Rollers!!! Love Love Love!!
Some other hits from the Bay City Rollers are "The way I feel tonight", "Bye bye baby" and maybe their biggest one was "Saturday Night"
I remember our family staying in a swanky hotel in Toronto back in the ‘70’s. We couldn’t figure out why there was a huge crowd of screaming teenage girls hanging out around the garage entrance. That was until we learned that the Bay City Rollers were in town for a series of concerts and were staying at the same hotel.
Every car that came and went, including ours, got a huge reaction from the crowd, because they thought the Rollers were inside. That’s the only time I’ve ever had a bunch of teenage girls screaming at me. 😆
Long story short - they were teen idols. As big if not bigger than the likes of David Cassidy or the Osmonds.
Only 2 bands has had the word MANIA to describe their fans. Beatlemania (The Beatles) & Rollermania (The Bay City Rollers)
The young cutie in the white & red on the end is 17 yr old, Irishman, Ian Mitchell R.I.P. His short time with the band made a huge impact. He was my teen crush & still fills my heart ❤️ Dedication the version where Ian sings lead Is my all time fave of theirs!!
Oh no! I knew that Leslie died last year but I had no idea that Ian has died as well. Dang it. I'll listen to Dedication in his memory.
@@sandyhafenbrack141 Alan passed in 2018...Ian in 2020 & Les in 2021. 💔
@@rozequinn1519 Oh my goodness. Alan, too? This makes me so sad.
This reminds me of the 8th grade; we would all sit around at lunch and talk about the Bay City Rollers. I had at least 6 posters of them on my walls. I confess- I was “in love” with Les McKeown.
Their music always takes me back and makes me smile.
Rest in Peace Bay City Rollers lead singer Les McKeown.
I can't even begin to explain just how refreshing it is to see young people (you, Ms. AMBER and Mr. Jay) truly enjoy the old music from days gone by. This is what keeps the awesome music alive! I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction (Jay) to Meatloaf's Paradise by the Dashboard Lights. 😄 You were so into it and that's one of my favorite songs! Ms. Amber, I love your reactions. You're so real and genuine about your feelings. I love how both of you appreciate the oldies! Absolutely love you both!! Godspeed my friends!
The BCRs and Rod Stewart were all over my wall growing up! Love them .. - they have tons of tunes to choose from!
Sounds of my middle school years!!! Loved them!! Early boy band days! 😂😂 Had their posters…..Tiger Beat magazine had all the good ones! Other favorites were Leif Garrett and Shaun Cassidy! 😍
Here, Here on Shaun Cassidy. I also loved the voice of his half-brother, David Cassidy.
Takes me back🙂
I remember those days!👍🏻😃❣️
Shaun Cassisy was my first teen crush
I still own his albums
Saturday Night is another good one from the Bay City Rollers.
I was so obsessed with the Bay City Rollers between the ages of 7 and 11. I've still got all of their albums. I think you will love the songs "You Made Me Believe In Magic", "The Way I Feel Tonight", "La Belle Jeane", and "Shanghai'd In Love" (those last two being my personal favorites. RIP Alan, Les, and Ian.
I still have all of their albums! Even the imports. 😳
Le bell Janne,shanhaied in love, Eric's songs.,girl saying 60s sound,1970s,they all had distinguished music,they wernt trying to be the Beatles.
Always loved this group. The way I feel tonight is a beautiful love song by them. April will love it!! Dedication is another really good one as well. This is the sound of my teen years.
I forgot about that song! The Way I Feel Tonight. I remember liking that song but my mama said it was too grown up for me to listen to. Lol
You're right, The Way I Feel Tonight is beautiful. That one and You're A Woman.
that was my fav BCR song 🙂
The Bay City Rollers !!!!!
The BEST boy band in the world EVER !!!!!
Amber, you were right about the 60's sound. The song was originally sung by a lady called Dusty Springfield in the 60's. I was just a young thing when they were big in the 70's, but I really enjoyed them from what I remember of them. Their favourite song of mine is called Saturday Night was a huge hit.
OMG. I LOVED the Rollers! Les McKeown, lead singer, passed away suddenly in April 2021. I was a little too young to get in on full Rollermania, but I loved the group, and still do. They were much better than they ever got credit for being. Try Rock n' Roll Love Letter, too. Loved the reaction!
I know!! So sad. Alan and Ian have also passed away. 😔
@@Robbie_37 ---- Thank you for remembering to mention my Husband, Ian Mitchell.
@@ianslass I am so sorry for your loss. I was just listening to Dedication and I was reminded of how much I love his voice.
@@sandyhafenbrack141 ---
Oh yes, Rock n roll love letter (ok, now I'm singing)
It is a 60s cover by Dusty Springfield. Great version! Always loved it!!
Bay City Rollers were played by the DJ at every roller skate rink in the US, hourly on most radio stations, and almost non-stop on both my sister's record players.
They took Soda Shop Rock and made it Bubblegum Rock!
Saturday Night was their biggest hit. It's a great song.
Dang, this is a deep cut! Back from when I was a little cheese, and I'm OLD. Thanks for this trip down memory lane, Rob Squad!! Love you guys, keep up the great videos!
The Rollers were one of the first boy bands! Cheers for the Bay City Rollers!
Saturday Night was their biggest hit, also The Way I Feel Tonight, Yesterday's Hero, Dedication, and Rockin Roll Love Letter, are all great.
My teenage heart throbs! Had their posters all over my bedroom walls! Still have all my vinyl albums of theirs to this day. Check out “Rock ‘n Roll Love Letter”, “Don’t Let The Music Die”, “La Belle Jeane”, and my personal favorite sweet song “Marlina”. They still have a big fan base with lots of fan pages on FB as well as fan get togethers. One of the most underrated music groups ever! LOVE the Bay City Rollers!
I was just a little girl in the mid 70s, but I had my room plastered in plaid and posters of BCR! I just loved them and even watched their Saturday morning kids show, "The Kroft Superstar Hour." I still have their albums Dedication and It's a Game on my playlist as well as a few of their other songs. So glad that you did this reaction. Thank you!!!!
This was a big hit for Dusty Springfield -- you've already listened to "Son of a Preacher Man," but she had a ton of other hits you can check out.
I also remember Samantha Fox covering this.
This was also a hit for ‘The Tourists’ in the late 70s / very early 80s. Two members of The Tourists (Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox) went on to form Eurythmics.
Dusty could SING. Loved her, RIP.
Annie Lennox's first band The Tourists also covered this 1963 Dusty Springfield song in 1979 and it's good.
Wishing and Hopin, The Look of Love, You Don't Have To Say You Love Me...
Dusty was a beautiful singer out of England. Along with many others.
Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦 ❤❤
the bay city rollers are known for taking cover songs (which this is) and taking them to the next level - check out their version of Rock N Roll Love Letter if you want 70s power pop
Dedication by bay city rollers is my favorite
Their first hit in the US, “Saturday Night “ is a fun song. My favorite is “ The Way I Feel Tonight” . It’s so romantic. I think you would like it.
These guys were responsible for a string of great hits throughout the 70’s and their Rollermania that they caused was fever pitch similar to the Beatles had in the 60’s. From my hometown of Glasgow … only a couple of the original members are still living which is sad but the music is there forever !!! Awesome that you’re now getting into them !!!
Thought they were from Edinburgh
From Edinburgh
Edinburgh!
Scots wha hae 🏴 I'm frae Prestwick. Living in the beautiful Pacific North Wet 😎 USA these days.
My sister was a big fan--started a fan club, the Roller Loonies. I think she was already a young adult at the time. I never quite understood but it was life changing for her. She still has some of those friends and, in fact, participated in a NYC parade this weekend, for Tartan Day.
They had a nice sound, for sure. "Saturday Night" and "Money Honey" were really catchy, and rocked a little harder too.
Money Honey 💰🍯
My parents are from Scotland so we loved that this Scottish band became big for awhile and two of the members had the same first names of my two older brothers.
Mine too 🏴 I actually grew up in Ayrshire, moved across the pond to Seattle USA in 1970 - I was just barely 13.
If you are interested in the people, places &/or events in Scottish history, check out "Scotland History Tours" by Bruce Fummey.
This was strictly for a female audience, all the young girls loved the Bay City Rollers! Saturday Night was their most popular song in the US.
'J' and Amber, thank you for this reaction! This band was my most Favorite Band of the 1970's. They were OUR Beatles! They were Flying high on the charts. Between my two younger sisters and I, we had almost every album they made that was released in the United States. My favorite was the lead guitar player and co-composer of some of their songs Eric Faulkner. My mother and two younger sisters had their favorites, too. Yes, my mother liked music that spanned from the 1920's when she was born all the way until 1985 when she died. Those were very happy times and many fond memories for us. We would sing along with them every chance we got. I am so glad that you like them, too. The two song writers in the band were Eric Faulkner and 'Woody' Stuart Wood, the bass player.
My favorite Bay City Rollers songs are Saturday Night, You Made Me Believe in Magic, and The Way I Feel Tonight.
I remember talking to a girlfriend on the phone in high school. She loved this band. We are talking, song ends, she puts the phone down, starts the song over, and comes back tot he phone. It wasn't this song, but "S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y Night"
They had a song called "Are You Cuckoo". It was kind of a strange song, but I really liked it. Also "You Made Me Believe in Magic" was a really good one.
Thank you so much for this reaction it brought back a lot of memories of my childhood my sister was a very big Bay City rollers fan and she’s no longer with me and it just brought me some great memories thank you
oh lol.... Scottish pop group that made everyone smile. This song is a cover btw. Another Scottish group, The Proclaimers, did I would walk 500 miles. It is true that a lot of bands tended to copy The Beatles in the sixties but the Rolling Stones also had a huge following. There were many front men who wanted to be Mick Jagger. But by the late sixties early seventies bands were taking on their own personas.... eg. Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath,. The music of that era was extraordinary.
Yes this was very well done by Dusty Springfield . I like this version I don’t think I’ve ever heard it by these guys.
@Cynthia Thank you, I agree. The *1963 Dusty Springfield version* is much better i.m.o. even though Bay City Rollers had 13 years to learn from it, because DUsty's version keeps the "zeitgeist" or the time-era style of the song with her performance & dance. Note that this time-era style is also audible in Bay City Rollers 1976 version.
There was also a version done around 1979 by a band called The Tourists, featuring Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox who, of course, went on to become the Eurythmics.
@@technomikelyons Yes, forgot Annie and Dave's version, basically shows great lyrics and a rhythm hook appeal each decade to a new audience.
@@highpath4776 and I nearly forgot Samantha Fox's version in the 80's.
"Saturday Night" was a huge hit, and also loved "Money Honey"!!
" The Way I Feel Tonight" is some belly rubbing music Jay!! 😉
My father would not allow us to have "modern" rock in the house growing up. This was the first record I bought with my own money and I hid it at my friends home and would go there and dance to it. I LOVED the Bay City Rollers!!! LOVE THE SHIRT JAY, PROUD AMERICAN!!!!
This song has been covered by so many artist including The Bay City Rollers , The tourist ( the band where Annie lennox and Dave stewart started in music before Eurythmics) , Nicolette Larson , Samantha Fox and even in spanish by latin american superstar Luis Miguel. The original belongs to Dustin Springfield from 1963.
Les McKeown on lead vocals, Alan Longmuir on Bass, Stuart Woody Wood and Eric Faulkner on guitar and Derek Longmuir on drums. Ian Mitchell also played bass
Ian was my absolute favorite even though he was only with them for a few months. He did tour with them again off and on in the very early 80's. RIP Ian.
Ian did played bass, but not while in the band in 76...he played rhythm guitar.
@@Robbie_37 ---- Hi! Yes, he was there for 7 months, when he decided to leave,..but he did make an impact. I am his wife and when I announced that he passed away, I had messages for weeks on end from people all over the world. It was so kind of them to take the time to tell me how they felt.
Woody played bass after Alan left the band. He's the bass player on this song.
@@ianslass Ian's version of Dedication was the best!!! I hope you've found a kind of peace and happiness without him. Godspeed.
I still have the their LPs, even bought imported rare LPs of theirs. This is recorded after they got one Irish member of the band (3:16). It started with the drummer and his brother, who left and was replaced by the Irish fellow. They wore tartans and created a lot of Scottish pride in US.
I bought every album they ever recorded with my babysitting. money. Poster’s on the wall and my 45 collection….It was the best. I’m now 62
The Bay City Rollers were a British band who got their name by throwing a dart at a map. The dart landed on Bay City, Michigan. This is a 1972 cover of a 1963 top-10 hit by fellow British artist Dusty Springfield.
I love this band as a 14 yesr old
"The Way I Feel Tonight", "You Made Me Believe In Magic" & "Saturday Night" are great Rollers songs.
I was a big Bay City Rollers fan in the 70's. I had all the clothes and scarfs. I had the feather cut hair too. I had entirely too much tartan for a kid from Birmingham, but I loved it.
they had great harmonies!! Leslie just passed last April/2021. They were my first concert at 14. Eagles Fly is one of my fav song they did. Their fans have been listening to their music for over 45 years!
One of my first albums, they got their name from Bay City, MI. Saturday Night and Rock n' Roll Love Letter were the other big hits. Such good memories with these songs!
Me and my cousin were obsessed with the Bay City rollers. I got to see him in concert and the girls were going crazy passing out all over the place.
Oh my gosh…this is my childhood at the skating rink. They were on the cover of Tiger Beat (teen idol magazine) all the time.
The WAY BACK machine is on. I, as a boy, bought ALL their albums!!! I also had Beach Boys, AC/DC, BTO, Elvis, and many others. Pretty eclectic, I guess. I would suggest "Saturday Night", "Rock and Roll Love Letter", "Money Honey" and "The Way You Look Tonight" if you want to hear more from them. My best, as always, to you ALL...
I am reminded of the scene in “Love Actually” in which the memorial includes The Bay City Rollers. Not my favorite previously but new appreciation after.
Oh this takes me back. This band was one of the coolest bands of the 70s. You have to check out "Saturday Night", "Money Honey", "The Way I Feel Tonight", and "You Make Me Believe in Magic". Thanks for reacting!
Did BCR do Money Honey ?!, didnt know that.
They pumped out hit after hit during the 70's and the young girls went crazy for them. I had a shirt made by my sister with red tartan on it and all the girls wanted it. Bye Bye Baby was one of their biggest hits.
My favorite group ever!! The lead singed, Les, toured up until he died last year and the bass guitarist, Woody 😍, is still touring. I still love them!!!
I also really like Samantha Fox's 1988 version of this song! It's much more of dance-pop 80's sound! The video used to come on MTV back then!
Must have been working , missed that one.
Now you guys need to hear Dusty Springfield's original. You reacted to her song "Son Of A Preacher Man".
Fun fact: Annie Lennox did a cover of "Be With You" in the late 70's with the band - _not_ Eurythmics - The Tourists. That was where she found moderate success before she and Tourists bandmate Dave Stewart moved on to form Eurythmics.
Agreed. I personally think any song Dusty did was the best version. She was incredible. FEMALE FRIDAY.
Oi vey, just as I was leaving school this band was a mega teen sensation, never thought I'd see them here. Girls all over the country (and a few lads) had tartan sewn into their flares, on everything, and would just go insane over them. You're lucky to be able to hear the music, mostly they were drowned out by hysterical screaming, possibly being the last band that experienced that Beatlemania thing. I was never into them but their sound hits the nostalgia nerve and they were regulars on Top of the Pops. Their 'own' songs more accurately represent their sound. This is a cover of the Dusty Springfield hit.
I was so in love with them! Posters and records of them everywhere...🤣
