Great Song. Will always be a great song! RIP. Steve Harley. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Gone to the great band, in the sky! 💯🏆
I agree, great song. England in the 1970's must have been pretty good to live in. I just found out he had polio as a child, so he did well.
Such an iconic song that has crossed generations.
You left the world a better place
Steve.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS❤

Polio never held Ian Dury back either !

“England in the 1970’s…pretty good to live in??” You’re having a laugh, aren’t you?
I was born in early 1950’s, so remember the 70’s well. 3 day weeks, “winter of discontent,” strikes, rubbish piled high on the streets, bodies unburied for months…if you call all that “pretty good,” you have a strange definition of the term.
Btw, I emigrated in the mid-1970’s because things were so dire. Never looked back.
@@trollmeistergeneral3467 Okay, i was only guessing. I was thinking the music was good & it was before the country was swamped by third world immigrants, so that's where I was coming from.
One of the best songs of the 70's in my humble opinion.
And mine.
yes
Agreed!
Agreed
1975, so long ago.....
Steve your place in music history is secure. Rest in Peace.
Rest In Peace Steve. What a beautiful song that always reminds me of the 70's.....why have the years gone by so fast?...feels like it was only yesterday.
Yes ,you are so true! 70s were wonderfull. The song reminds me of my first trip to London. It was the place to go if you was a Mod.
Greetings from Germany
The best decade!!!! ❤
🥲
Does it seem like each year goes by faster than the year before? I’m not sure if it’s just me experiencing this.
@@alicedee8106 Nope, you're not alone....even the decades are now starting to feel like they're going faster!
This is one of the greatest songs ever written. For my taste, the greatest song ever. Sorry for my english. R.I.P. Steve.
Quite simply, one of the greatest songs of ANY decade. Thank you for giving us this gem Steve. RIP mate.
Rest in peace Steve Harley. Thank you for creating this timeless classic
am i imagining things or is steve Harley tone deaf? it certainly sounds like it.
Rest in peace Steve 😢Marianna
His clothes are so elegant. I was 25 years old when this was released. Teaching in Basingstoke. What a god awful place. Can't believe I lived there for four years!
😂😂😂😂 Last year, I met a young man from Basingstoke on a train journey from London to Winchester and he said the same thing about Basingstoke.
RIP Part of my life growing up,loved all his music,very talented.
So very sad to hear that Steve Harley is no longer with us. I love this song so much because it takes me right back to some of the happiest times of my life. I love everything about this video, the song, the platform boots, the bags and Steve's stunning outfit which I still say is one of my favourites of all time. RIP Steve, hearing this song always makes me smile and I hope you're smiling now too. 🙏❤
Beautifully put - I'll second that...😢

RIP Steve, and thank you for this fabulous, timeless song. Loved watching this video - how to be cool without even trying 😊👌
The completely unique, and wonderful Steve Harley. Thank you for leaving us with one of the most joyous songs ever ...🙏❤🩹
Spent a fortune on juke boxes playing this every night. Loved it then and love it now. The guy was so cool I just wanted to be him. Gone but will never be forgotten. RIP Steve
What a stunning track. I return to it each and every time I am searching for help. Steve was a good friend of my older brother so I met him a few times back in the day. As we say "this fella is, and always been propa". Love to you Steve x
Thanks for making us smile Steve x
And cry
This was the first record I ever bought, I was 14, it kicked of a lifelong obsession with vinyl. RIP Sir. Thank you 🙏🏼💜
Thank you for making this teenager smile through the early 70's Steve - RIP!
Amen to that!!!
Yes this song got me through some down times.
13 Tage nach der Sendung bin ich geboren. Heute ist wieder ein Tag zum Flennen. R.I.P.
Die musiker die uns in unserer Jugendzeit begleitet haben,werden immer weniger.
RIP Steve, this song always makes me smile, with memories of happier times, thank you 🌹🌹🌹

May have been the thing that took me out of depression in exam week and helped me row in the math test.
Pretty crucial actually, would have dropped out of studies if I had not made it.
Indeed, thanks for the song Steve!
Never get tired of this song!
Love it love it love it ❤❤❤
Steve Harley is so Cool 💖
Wearing a full length coat and chewing gum whilst singing- Uber cool

I don’t get tired to listen to them! It such a beautiful song..
❤️ by the way it’s a hot day in England..
Timeless
What a great bass player George Ford was. Always looked like he was enjoying himself. Even played with The Shadows.
His brother was emile ford who with his band the checkmates got to number one in the uk with WHAT DO WANT TO MAKE THISE EYES AT ME FOR ,, r.i.p George and Steve .
Also did a long stint w/ Al Stewart concurrent w/ his Harley gig: Year of the Cat, Modern Times, Past Present & Future. Great bassist indeed!
Underrated folk, those guys handling the bottom of the register. Without Entwistle, there wouldn't have been a Who
Great great song, I was very young when it came out but I knew it was really good , and it was. Well done Steve, people like you made GBs reputation in music in those days.
It's the pauses that are killers God bless Steve thanks for the memories when you sang this love xxxxx
Such a vibe. Rest in peace sir ❤️
I never realized back then how goodlooking He was!! Oh these memories...70......
One of my first live concerts - Birmingham '75 or '76 - fantastic then and fantastic now... so blessed to have grown up with bands and exceptional music in my formative music life!
Steve,Stuart,Jim ,Duncan and George , 1975 what a year . My favourite band,just left school who’d have thought all these years later still listening.
Steve, we love you! Keep on playing forever!!! 🙏🙏🙏
He was so cool. Rest in peace Steve
Reminds me of Southampton ice rink and Brian in 1975, and will always love this. Happy times.
Steve Harley - he was cooler than a Siberian cucumber - not many could get away with chewing gum and singing but he had style !
Can't get away from the impression Harley deliberately donned the bowler hat to make him look like the Clockwork Orange dude. He said of the Wedding Present cover, his favorite, "those guys understood the venom in the song". Have to check them lyrics again !
Do the droogs chew gum in the Kubrick movie ?
Dim did..
Great stuff. R.I.P. Steve.
This just jumped onto my screen. Mums favourite, have it on 7" vinyl. She died from c19 April 11th 2020. She loved this.💖
fantastic!! song and a mesmerising performer.. took my partner to see him last year in belfast. A CLASS ACT.🎸🎤🎧🎻 THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES.☮
This was the first record i bought with my first pay from my first summer job. Did not know a thing about music, just picked this one on a store. This song became the best song i ever heard and look at the guy, he looks so cool, stil!
Ever since then, I always pick the best choice first. Magic!

R.I.P. Steve Harley ❤️🎸
Gutted to hear of Steve’s passing. This is one of my favorite songs of all time since I first heard it as a teen in 1975. He was a genuinely good guy who really cared about his fans and toured almost to the end, loving his profession as he did. Plus, he was one of the few people who could sing and chew gum at the same time…
RIP Steve and heartfelt sympathy to his family.
Timeless song ❤❤❤❤ rest in peace stevie
Man, I need that look. LOL! Great song, great chords. A classic.
i know it is kind of randomly asking but do anybody know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Cristiano Brayden try FlixZone. Just google for it :)
you cant have it bruvv - there was only one SH
From a time period when artist seeked to be originals, develop their own unique style. Steve Harley did all that with charm. intelligence and slightly black comedy and surrealism. One of my fav artists of the 70s! His music is still strong for me, still a very personal expression. Big respect Steve. Big respect. R.I.P.
For those of a certain age, a monument amid the soundtrack of our formative years.
I was just 17 at the time. A decade of great music and songs.
My favourite song from his album I bought in 1975, and karaoke choice, of all time. Rest In Peace Steve....
RIP Steve Harley 😢
RIP Steve ...God speed into the long night bud and thanks for the great music!!
R.I.P. a great song. 😢
First single I ever had. Great!
R.I.P.Steve Harley.Gone but not forgotten.
RIP Steve Harley. One of my favorite songs from 1975.
It’s hard to process that his generation of artists is slowly dying out. RIP Eric Carmen and RIP Karl Wallinger too.
RIP Steve Harley, one of the greats . Robert Bridgend Wales
Jim Cregan was like a guitar legend to me. His playing was always sweet as a nut.
I simply love this song, and everything about Steve and the Band all together! yes sooo coool!!
Another fantastic track from the 70's
Rest in Paradise Steve Harley ♥
Rest in peace Steve! You will be missed🙏🏼🕊️📿💔
Amazing…. I didn’t realise they had bluetooth wireless electric guitars, basses, keyboards and microphones and invisible female backing singers in the 1970s….. so ahead of the game.
Who cares? The music speaks for itself.
