- A couple of weeks ago, on April 20, 2021, singer Les McKeown of the Bay City Rollers died. McKeown was born on 12 November 1955, Edinburgh, Scotland). To commemorate him, we highlight this video of one of the Rollers biggest hits.
The Bay City Rollers are a Scottish pop rock band known for their worldwide teen idol popularity in the 1970s. They have been called the "tartan teen sensations from Edinburgh" and "the first of many acts heralded as the 'biggest group since the Beatles'".
The group's line-up had many changes over the years, but the classic line-up during its heyday included guitarists Eric Faulkner and Stuart Wood, singer Les McKeown, bassist Alan Longmuir, and drummer Derek Longmuir. The current lineup (since 2018) includes original guitarist Stuart "Woody" Wood, singer Ian Thomson, bassist Marcus Cordock, and drummer Jamie McGrory.
The Bay City Rollers have sold 120 million records worldwide.
"Bye, Bye, Baby (Baby Goodbye)" is a popular song written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio, a member of The Four Seasons, whose version of the song made it to No. 1 in Canada and No. 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1965.
The Bay City Rollers version made it to no 1 in the UK, sold a million copies and hit No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart for six weeks from March 1975. It ended the year as the UK's top-selling single.
In Australia and Ireland it also reached to no. 1.
In the Netherlands it reached to #11 in the Dutch Top 40.
In the film 'Love Actually' the song is played by Daniel (Liam Neeson) at his wife's funeral, and by the DJ (Junior Simpson) at Juliet (Keira Knightley) and Peter's (Chiwetel Ejiofor) wedding reception.

I'm here !!
Another great Band that was robbed by their manager...
These songs will live forever. Being young back then - the memories will last forever, what we were doing, people we knew, girlfriends and boyfriends - maybe our first, school discos, tartan flares and platforms, and songs that instantly got you dancing or tweaked your emotions. RIP Les, Alan and Ian.
Agree had the full outfit I did a true Bay City Roller fan back then I wish I could find my photos of way back then dont know what happened to them all 😢
It is a known fact that there are, to mankind , the occurrence of phenomena. In 1975 and around that year it was known globally the the Rollers were not a pop sensation - they were an absolute phenomenon.
Rest in peace Les McKeown
Bye bye Baby. We will miss you Les. Wembley 1973 xx
Rest In Peace, Les 🏴🙏🏻

Kids dont realise how massive this group was in the great 70s truly a giant of all giants of groups R.I.P les mc keown.
Was the love of my life since i was 10..so happy i saw him live 2 years ago. Rip
I was born in the 80s and knew of them. But my mum was too old to be a fan of them so they were never on in our house.
They were mentioned in an episode of Friends. Might sound daft but that's when I realised they must have been known outside the UK.
@@claireconnolly3766 Hi Claire, I was 14 and reminds me of the time n Fab to be young and luvly memories of my parents too. The Rollers were top of their game. At the time I liked Suzie Qutro and Carly Simon .Very sad for the others now Les and Alan have left us. Kind regards Glynn n greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🕊🕊🌼🌼

My brothers hated, because I start to like BCR. But they sure understood it. They saw how BCR affect to the kids and teenagers, same as The Beatles. I love them too, Since I was a baby. I don't understand fightning between music fans.
Remember it well
Bye bye Les. You and whole group were fabulous. From a 70 ' fan xxx
I remember wearing a tartan scarf down one side to impress the girls that lived on my estate in the hope of getting a date lol

Did it work?

_Its mothers day, my mother passed away a few years ago but im going through her photos. Theres a photo of her young, with her sister wearing eye-catching tartan-tipped pants and apparel. Theyre both holding a banner that says BAY CITY ROLLERS, thats why Im here! Haven't heard about them before! Very catchy and understand why they were fans_
Aww that's so sweet !!

This song makes me cry, it makes me remember my dead grandma
Well... Actually... It doesn't really make me smile. Its the song my biological father sang to me at age 4 years old the last ever time I saw him. Not knowing as I waved goodbye it would be the last as he sang "bye bye baby" to me! I suppose I can't call him dishonest, insincere yes!

@@BestieBeastOfficialVideos This is sad news...although I was a little too old to have been a fan of the group during their heyday, I always loved their sound and music..we become more aware of our own mortality with each passing of these wonderful talents from our youth, teen and young adult years...
DRUMER * ERICS BROTHER)
@@purselady2 Not Eric's brother. The drummer was Derek Longmuir, Alan's brother. They were the founding members. Incidentally Derek became a nurse after the Bay City Rollers broke up and was convicted of possession of child pornography a few years ago. Was a big Rollers fan growing up so this sad reality kind of taints the memory.

We use to say:
"When finally some grass is grown over a bad story
You can bet soon will arrive a donkey and chew all that grass away".
Such a part of my growing up. I love THE BAY CITY ROLLERS ❤
I'm 8 years old it's summer in London and life's amazing God what have we done 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The Bay City Rollers were one of my youthful idols. Rest in peace, Les 😔
いい曲！
当時は日本でこんな映像は観れなかったから、今はいい時代だな。
R.I.P Les. This was my favourite song as a kid, absolutely loved the Bay City Rollers. Les was my favourite. Xxxx
retro man because of this group they ran out of tartan in scotland due to roller mania 😛😛😛😛😛
Another 70s icon taken way too soon. R.I.P. Les.
Stumbled upon this video by accident and I don’t regret clicking
Goodnight, Les, from a fellow Edinburgher.
What happened to him
Was 9 back in '75 Cork Ireland all us kids loved BCR we all wore tarten ..... "Bye bye baby" sich great memories seems like a lifetime ago ❤😂.....
I'm 56 and it's getting harder and harder each year. I dread turning on the BBC web page afraid to see another legend has passed away. While I wasn't a "Roller" I am a huge fan of 70's music and BCR are in the mix for their songs, including this masterpiece. RIP Les you and the boys ruled the world at one time.
1st recorded a decade before by Frankie Valle and the Four Seasons
I am one year older ... I hear you !
@@MJAP123 So very true. I, too, was upset when David Cassidy died. I quite liked a few of his songs, and he truly cared about his fans. He'd always play "Could It Be Forever" at his concerts because that's what they wanted to hear. Music is life, and I try and push through each day and enjoy my time.
@@MJAP123 I hear you ... and agree !
Wow this brings back memories.Now 59 end of the year 2021 and all my music influences are slowly passing. Time waits for no one but it’s great to rewind now and then. Definitely getting harder and harder each day. Peace to you all.
Just watched the documentary "Who Got The Bay City Rollers Millions". These guys got *royally* screwed. Shame😒
The piece if my tiny 10 year old heart that I gave to Les all those years ago is broken 💔 RIP.
レスリー安らかに😭
I’m only 16 but I’m obsessed with bay city rollers because of my parents
keep the music alive
poor child..... just kidding..
Good girl keep their music alive
Rest in peace les,, fond memories of my sister playing them on her record player,,

The first boy band
No that was The Beatles
@@sempereadem54eadem64 they weren't really a "boy" band
1975 I am 10
@@sempereadem54eadem64 the Beatles where nothing even close to a boy band don’t ever say that again.
@@sempereadem54eadem64 a boy band is a band that performs music specifically targeted to teenage girls, notice I said “perform”. Boy bands usually don’t make there own music they are just hot men that are placed so that they can get the attention of girls and become super popular. Like Justin Bieber.
This was one of they're best songs. RIP Les McKeown
This song was written by Bob Gaudio and Bob Crewe and performed by the original The Four Seasons.
Ohhh the memories...getting weird looks from my kids as I'm tapping my feet and bopping my head with the song
HAA THEY DONT KNOW GOOD MUSIC
I hear you.
great memories
I’m literally 15 and I love them !!!
@@aiimeeskye IM 58 LOVED THEN SINCE I WAS 14
I'm 15. I love 70s and 80s music. I grow up in the wrong century! I could cry...
You ain't alone I'm 27 and I love old songs,more then modern day songs!😅😆
My daughter once asked me "why do you still listen to 70's music ?" i replied "i love the music now just as much as i did in the 70's, should i stop listening to music that i love ? she just smiled and said "no" i went on to explain that i don't see music as like a fashion thing where you get rid of the old for something new, if a song puts a smile on your face when you hear it, then thats all that matters.
I wouldn't say you were born in the wrong century, in fact i'd say you are lucky because if there is a particular song you want to hear, you just type in it and click, back then we had to wait a full week for the chart show or if you got lucky you might hear it on the radio during the week, i was only a young lad so couldn't afford to buy all the songs i wanted to hear.
I’m 18 and like you, I believe I was born in the wrong century
@@samuelcarver1343 thank you pal
I was there at 15 then and wish I could be there now in a new life. Live your life in the best that you feel as we all make mistakes and regret all errors. Hear this song in your heart forever.
Rest in peace Les, you were one of my first crushes. I loved the Bay City Rollers. I'm so sad he's gone. Bye bye baby xxxxxxxx
Sad news about Les McKeown. I still like to listen to the Bay City Rollers to this day. RIP Les, your voice brought joy to many.
Looking back at this and laughing at their outfits. Too funny but I still love their hits.
Me too! ❤️
They weren't happy about the trousers,but glad to get back to normal seventies clothes.

This song never fails to bring me to tears… so many teen year memories which now feels like a lifetime away. I adored this band, Les being my first crush. Got to see him a few years back and I felt 14 again hearing all the hits. RIP Les ❤
It's like your brain just takes you back automatically when you hear the 1st note xx
I'm cool as a cucumber now

RIP Les wish you could have found your missing millions you were robbed.
Always remember the TV shows back in the 70s RIP Les x
I think us boys hated them as all the girls loved them, later admitted liked a lot of their catchy tunes. RIP Les, far to young.
In 1975 when that song came out, I was 15 years old. I still think the song is great. Greetings from Florida ☀️
Listening to nostalgic images and songs will make you feel like you’ve gone back in time with a Time Machine, reviving those days.
Reminds me of my childhood when you knew your neighbours and kids played out. The world we have now is grotesque and rotten.
I was 10 years old when the Rollers burst into my life!! I instantly loved them, their songs, their clothes, their Scottish accents. Les was my first crush, my idol, I adored him. I begged my Mum to buy me the records, the tshirt and all the posters, I even had the bubble gum cards, and I wore tartan socks to school everyday!! RIP Les, Alan, Derrick, Sadly missed, forever in my heart. Roller Chick xx
15 then
Derek is still alive, it's Ian who passed away as well as Alan and Les.
Band of my early teens in the 70's and at the time the biggest band in the world. Saw them in Glasgow Apollo then and then again at Glasgow Barrowlands when they reunited in the last few years. Les was having a ball that night as were the entire crowd. RIP Les McKeown
Both my elder sisters too.BCRmania I remember all too well and I'm 61.
Youth club disco 1974, 11 years old, Bye Bye Baby being blasted out of speakers and us all singing at top of our voice, happy carefree days...And We Sang Shang A Lang And We Ran With The Gang...bittersweet memories, so very sad to hear about Les, RIP to a top Roller ♥️
His pal, Alan waited him. R.I.P both ones.
so many memories I was only a kid in the 70s still love the song
great days Jane
It was a great cover version, for sure
Les McKeown isn’t dead he just making a solo in heaven
Aww, this brought a tear💔😢
I hope that he is making music with alan and ian in heaven💜
Blessings Les RIP XX
One of the best groups in the 70s.
As a young boy, this was pure poetry. The most uplifting sound. It is still so uplifting today!

How sad. Such a young age to leave us. I recall tying a tartan scarf with my cousin to our wrists and singing into a skipping rope handle. Such great memories of all their songs. 🙏 rip
he was 64
Still young
The anthem to my 10 year old self! What a song! Whatever happened to them all doesn't change how much this song was loved (and the Bay City Rollers were LOVED!)

There's never been such a chirpy song with such heartbreaking lyrics 💔
"You're the one girl in town I'd marry, girl I'd marry you now if I were free, I wish it could be"
"Wish I never had known you better. Wish I knew you before I met her"
I love The Bay City Rollers ❤
Hands up if you are here because of Steve Bray bye bye boris 👋
I have a huge soft spot for the Rollers, such an absolute crazy story, needs to be made into a biopic. Bye Bye Les xxxx
I am in Australia and i was living in a remote area in 1975. They were the first album i ever bought, and for a birthday (as I recall) my mother made me my very own gaucho suit (fake denim) with tartan (good lord .. and really). Their music still puts a smile in the heart RIP Les..
Well, I never got a whole tartan suit, but I did get a BCR cake and some plaid patches for my jeans! :) I loved the BCR!
Ooh for the 70’s😀
