    The intro from Graham and Simon is superb! And love it at 6:56 when Graham steps back and tells the boys to cut so the crowd can come in. Sadly, Simon has left us now as well on 16/08/21 and will be greatly missed but I bet he and Morty are having a ball up there, RIP Morty and Simon the Ant

      Hi mate totally agree with you.. My Uncle got me into them and watched them in Neath leigion in the early 2000s.. Love mortys voice and couldnt believe Graham skill on the guitar. So what happened they obviously had the talent, the songs are class yet they are barely played on the radio.. Why arent they celebrated more well at least on the welsh media?? I dont understand it..

      @@danielera5864 only now seeing this sorry but totally agree with you, they should have gone right to the top, sadly, the music business is a fickle one and its all about getting the breaks and being in the right place at the right time. I probably know your uncle as I'm from Neath and was always watching bands and knew quite a few of them cos I was a roadie for the Karrots in the 90s

    I had the great honour of supporting Racing Cars at a Merthyr Festival, and also compering one of their shows, as well as seeing them perform at several local venues.
    Morty was a true artiste, supported by a great band.
    R.I.P. Morty, now you will be singing with that great band in the sky.

  • @darrenwilson8042
    @darrenwilson8042 6 років тому +11

    Awesome song. The 70's has a lot of so called one hit wonders - probably because of the number of singles sales at the time?
    What Morty's fans have to accept is we all go at some time, none of us are immortal. Its what you leave behind, children, family, work etc that will define us and in Morty's case this alone stands up as a fantastic memory that will last for so many people and for which he should have passed but felt so proud.
