My father passed away at 44 years of a heart attack. My greatest memory of him is him sitting down with his headphones (the ones we couldn't touch lol) listening to this song with such joy on his face. It's amazing I can see and smell that same moment when I listen to this song. I'm almost his age now I'm 40 and listen to this with the same joy except my children are always stealing my earphones for the Xbox.
@@BridgetBarkan55 omg that is so sad I thank your father for all the great times my father had listening to it and now the beautiful memories it gives me . Much love back. ❤️
@@BridgetBarkan55 Grew up at that time in London. Know song very well. You must be very proud of your father creating it and sharing it with so many others. Enduring memories of teen years and song stands up very well. Good to know it still brings joy to you too.
@@mark-yj5sg Thanks for the video! Only 75% now. What will the number be in 2030? Oh, my beautiful beau, David Michael Adams-Powell from Dorchester, Dorset !!
Unfortunately youngsters today will never know how wonderful life was back then. Those of us born in the 50’ have seen & heard so much , both good and bad. But we thought life would get better with time & technology but it hasn’t turned out that way. Great song.🇬🇧👍
Nope, technology hasn't made it better and in some cases worse. Ask anyone who's had their bank account hacked or their ID stolen. And now with big tech being so political is being used as a weapon. I'll take those simpler times of long ago any day.
London greatest city on the planet - before "everything". Grew up in Soho, Chelsea, King's Road. Hampstead, Oxford Street, Carnaby Street, George Best, Stamford Bridge, Wembley, Wimbledon. And what really brought it all together was the MUSIC. Manfred Mann, The Stones, Marianne Faithful, The Small Faces, Steve Marriot, The Kinks, Denmark Street and the guitar shops. Could ramble on. But that was the Time Of Our Lives. Hyde Park, Green Park, the Palace, Piccadilly Circus, Lillywhites, the pubs and the pub crawls in Covent Garden, Leicester Sq, Chinatown. Sun seemed to shine everyday. Where is my time machine. Tears in my eyes.
My eyes misty as well my brother. We were blessed to have grown up during those times. The Boomers . We are the best. "Lilly whites" yes,I am a Spurs fan .Here in Chicago.
@christinethornhill Thank you Christine ❤. I am praying for England. We are going through rough times. But yall are welcome here in USA as far as I am concerned if needs be. God bless ❤
This awesome song was on our charts in the US in the summer of 1966 but I felt it didn't get the airplay and recognition it deserved (here it only reached #29) My then-grade school crush loved the song (we were just 12) No decade will ever be like the '60s was. The music will never again be duplicated.
Nope, never. It got even better in the 70s with more heavier stuff, and the eighties and nineties were the best. Early two thousands were good. And then after 2010 music just started sucking really bad. There was a lot of really good music and the 60s, even more so in the 70s, and in the 80s 90s and early 2000s we're killing it with rock music. Evan country music was good once we got from the late 90s onto about 2012.
I share this nostalgia. I was 18 in 1966. Everything shown in the movie was normal then, and we forget how much the quality of life has deteriorated over the decades. And the song itself was so innocent. Everyone then, including me, was innocently looking forward to a better life, a better world. Sadly, it got worse.
Peter Wadhams We are like the people who existed before Big Brother in 1984.Because the young have never lived in anything but a 'toilet' they have no idea how roses smell. Today, people know all the 'processes' but never see the forest from the trees. Thanks to Clinton/Lewinsky and the endless political debates that gave rise to Fox, CNN, MSCBS, we all believe the other 'guy' is our enemy. Be celebrate a 'degenerate' like Bruce/Caitlin Jenner and feel outrage that a 'thieving criminal' was shot after robbing a store owned by an 'immigrant' in Ferguson. Housewife 'franchise', homo's marrrying, rights for homeless, aka hobo's or bums, etc etc etc etc. America has lost 'critical thought' it was destroyed in 'classrooms' being lead by the lower 1/3 intelligent of every college graduating class. We expect the police to wear camera's, something I approve, but don't put camera systems in our class rooms so parents can evaluate the 'people' who are indoctrinated their children.
My mum passed away a couple of months ago .she absolutely loved this band she seen them numerous of times had photos took with the band playing this for you mum miss and love you r.i.p.❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was a really good song by Manfred Mann who realeased this in mid-April 1966. Proper pop song, No.1 in May 1966 and it was brilliant sung by Paul Jones before leaving for a solo career. Pretty Flamingo is a pop classic and it ended up being the 12th best seller of 1966 in the UK. Why can't we have songs like this 2019? Who needs those numpties from the X Factor? What do the X Factor know about music?
Life was so much better in the late 60’s, I was in my early 20’s, lived in London and the energy in the city was buzzing. Fashion was changing so quickly everyone was dressing so differently from the early 60’s. You’ll note NO Muslims, just true Londoners going about their daily life. How things have changed for the worse. Oh yes, I bought Pretty Flamingo and still have it in my vinyl collection.
An absolute classic from the days when I was just a lad and everything around me was just so damned cool. Looking back on those days now fills me with a deep and warm nostalgic feeling of happiness.
@@terencemorrall6967 Yes, I was born in 1964, so I can just vaguley remember the 1960's and well remember the 70's. Maybe I'm just an old bugger, but I don;t think there was so much crap about then in general in the media (ie the BBC) in those days it was a much more balanced organisation.
Just watched Manfred Mann video of Pretty Flamingo..great scenes of London of the '60's..dress, cars, hairstyles...beautiful era..I was between the times. Too early for this & too late for everything else...
My dad died about a week ago. This was one of his favourite songs and it's one of mine. I used to play his copy of it on his record player when I was little. Love it!
Manfred man absolutely brilliant and what fantastic scenes of everyday British life on the streets of London......why has one of the best cities on the planet been allowed to fall.
its sad to think that even though the bricks and mortar mostly remain the same, the vast majority of people, some unknowingly, that appeared in this film are no longer with us but are trapped in time forever with this beautiful music. Blows my mind...
I visited LONDON for the first time in 1963....it was very British....again in 1967 and 1970 at the highest point of marvellous SWINGING LONDON......unforgettable memories.....now people say to me that those glories are gone.....but LONDON is always LONDON
I remember pretty flamingo very well.I was very young.The band we followed would play this when I walked in.Young and pretty with a slim fitting velvet dress and long hair..felt good..those were the days
So glad to have been around in the 1960's.....music, fashion, sport, cars. It all came together - as Joni Mitchell sang 'You Don't Know What You've Got Till It's Gone', so very true. Unfortunately cannot build a time machine, but did the next best thing......bought a Classic Mini Cooper.
"Pretty Flamingo" would be the final authorized release by Manfred Mann featuring Paul Jones on vocals. His Master's Voice would release an archived recording, "You Gave Me Somebody To Love" as a single in July 1966, though by that time Jones had been replaced by Mike d'Abo.
Great seeing these images when life was so easy going and not a mobile phone in sight and people talking to each other rather than engrossed in social media
so glad I hit my teens in the 60's as no other era of my life has come close to the excitement of that time and there were many great times. AND TO THE LADIES OF THE 60'S, I THANK ALL OF YOUR FREE SPIRITED ANGELS.
+Darren blurton So so sorry for your loss. So many of that generation has passed on, but they all truly made their mark. Take heart, you will reunite with her, and that you can take to the bank. I have to believe heaven and the 60s are pretty close as far as comparison may go. Ride on-lol.
Believe this if you will Derek,my uncle told me last week that when he was just a young boy that one night he came down stairs for a drink and my mother was in the kitchen with Brian Jones from the Rolling Stones !! They had just played down the road from the house at trentham gardens in Stoke on Trent where we are all from!!
I love this track. It's one of the real icons of 60's music that so beautifully portrayed the times we lived in, with all the fashions and general feelings of excitement for the amazing future we'd create for ourselves and pour kids. What a shame there are four tone deaf idiots out there who didn't apprciate this wonderful musical portrait of our long gone youth.
There was a nightclub i Fremantle called the Green Cockatoo and a very nice girl who worked there. I first heard this song there and it always reminds me of that girl.
I'm not a Brit patriot nor historian of fashion, but clearly, during the sixties and seventies, there was a revolution in expression. Don't think it's ever repeated itself so significantly after then.. Mary Quant was a genius and we'll not see expressions illustrated by this fine and elegant lady ever again. Her designs were, art. What's this got to do with this music? Look, and think.
When I was younger my dad introduced me to this music,’ and I loved it 😍 I would always dance to this music than any other,’ Thank you dad ⭐️🙏🤩🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The nostalgia and longing for this era actually hurts.
i always thought this song was for me xxx long live the 60s era,,,what a fantastic time we had being part of a great time to be alive lol xx
I was only a child then, but the music has never left me. When London was truly London. Nostalgia literally means a longing for home.
Trixie Katz Certainly does Trixie I was happy listening to the tune, and melancholy watching the video.
So it does, wish I could go back
I know, but you're not the only one. Its not soo bad.
Mark Barkan (writer of the song) has a flamingo on his gravestone as tribute, R.I.P.
Hey buddy, love you. Its awesome to read all the comments here isn't it?
Thank you for sharing that. Made me smile.
Thats possibly the finest accolade iv heard of brilliant jones rips this good luck sebby
Really great song covered by so many great artists. Must make you very proud
Great song, even Paul Weller covered it 👍
England ruled the musical waves in the 60s,70s and 80s. So diverse
True and before the Americans ruled it in the 40s and 50s
And we bought into black music, soul, Motown, disco etc., and made black people famous and wealthy.
We were not and are not racists!
That's just BLM Marxist propaganda lies!
Accountants would be falling over themselves to monetise the 60’s
Fuck em
And Paul Jones still sings it as good as ever!
Amazing performer.
saw him about a year ago at Ronnie Scotts in soho london still very entertaining
Saw the Manfreds a week ago in Leicester - they were brilliant, well worth seeing if you get the chance.

The very first song that Geoff Emerick ever “engineered”was this tune !
It really made the whole guitar lick stand out.
This awesome song was on our charts in the US in the summer of 1966 but I felt it didn't get the airplay and recognition it deserved (here it only reached #29) My then-grade school crush loved the song (we were just 12)
