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 😢
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.

@@claireconnolly3766 Your very welcome Claire, We certainly are May I ask were R U from Claire. Also did u like T. Rex and The Sweet n Slade n Wizard too. Kind regards Glynn
Every time this song comes on, my mother (62) and I (25) dance around like we are at a concert. Amazing memories I will guard for life. Rest In Peace Les McKwown
Les kindly sent my daughter a Christmas card last year, as well as a BCR tee, shes 15, he was delighted he had a new fan, a mutual friend played pool with Les once a week, I am so sad over the passing of this lovely man..fly high buddy, thanks for everything..we won’t let the music die😢💔❤️
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 ❤
GURL USED TO WALK AROUND SOUTH SHIELDS SINGING WE WANT THE ROLLERS A ND SHOUT LES OR WHAT BAND MEMBER YOU LOOKED LIKE I WAS 11 12😮BUT GOOD LOOKING 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
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.
@@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.
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.
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 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.
_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_
RIP Les McKeown, my first heart throb, my first crush, my first love - I loved him to bits and collected everything about the BCRs - such sad news Rest easy Les, thanks for the music and memories x
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
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
I saw Les in concert in 2015 his singing was amazing so Les thankyou for all the music you made and thank you for all the great memories you have left your fans with we love you with all our hearts Rest In Peace Leslie Richard Mckeown sleep tìght my darling xx
RIP Les McKeown 🌹 Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the great, happy songs you sang for us... You live on in your music and in our hearts!!! 🎶💖🎶
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!
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!)
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 ♥️
Im 13 and I know a lot of oldies and I mean more than some people who lived in these times and it disappoints me how many people who don't remember the bay city rollers 10cc the Dave Clark 5 and Herman's hermits and many others
@@mazzymaz1324 thank and its nice to know that you like these groups Mazzy ive listened to them for many years the bay city rollers were from Edinburgh where i live dave clark five and 10cc so thank you so much for replying Mazzy
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.
“Bye Bye Baby “ by Bay City Rollers Listening to this song reminds me of those days. The lyrics, the music, and the melody are wonderful, and listening to this work still gives me energy.
In the 1970s my classically trained piano teacher who was about 65 years old at the time used to say what a fantastic melody this song has got, along with many other songs of the time.
Loved this band growing up in scotland and yes I had tartan everything, as a teenager me and my friend listened to these songs over and over, one of my first crushes gone but won't be forgotten fir me. Rest in peace Les prayers to his family.
My older sister loves them mi 59 now and it nice to look back how the lads from Scotland made. here feel just listening to them now it brings great memories back bands come go but memories dont❤😊😊
Rest in peace Les. Thank you for the wonderful songs. Happy memories. Sincere condolences to his wife , son, and other family members. May his soul rest in peace.

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.
Great memories of these beautiful times of music. Best music years ever. I was born in 1962 and very happy that I was able to experience these years when it was noh beautiful music with content. 60s 70s and 80s best years. R.I.P Les McKeown.😥💔
Rest in Peace, Les - and Alan🙏🏻🎵 I adored The Bay City Rollers, even though I was only five when this record came out in 1975! I had Bay City Roller socks, a Bay City Roller bag, a Bay City Roller badge (which I still have) and loved watching "Shang-A-Lang" on ITV. Thank-you for the memories. "BYE BYE BABY" 😥😥
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..
I was showing my young son this video and a few other Bay City Rollers videos just last week and telling him how good the music was in the 70s, I was shocked to learn tonight Les had passed away.
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
Here in Finland, after many years, so many men also loved them, secretly. It wasn't "cool" to like them. But nowadays many men told, how they actually loved their songs and performances.
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 ❤

Thank-you for the memories. "BYE BYE BABY" 😥😥
Came out the year I was born, 10 years after the original. Great cover though
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!
Thank you Les for my happy memories.
I loved you more than anything. 💜💜💜💜
In all its wistfulness, this brings a smile to my lips and my feet begin to flutter to the beat of the music.

I take it you skipped the subject of what sort of person the drummer turned out to be?! 🤔🤣
My daughter -16-loves them too, she has all their albums on vinyl.
It’s heartbreaking what happened to them😢💔
Best times ever everyone seemed happy
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
My aunt recently passed away and this was her favorite song. It brings me a lot of comfort listening to it❤️
Another part of my formative years gone. RIP Les and thank you. 💗

You were not the only boy who loved the Rollers in Germany !!
I covered this song on my most recent 70's performance drum cover video. I'd appreciate it if you saw it :)
I think a lot of people liked them Ralph, just didn't want to admit it..! 😂🤣😂
Here in Finland, after many years, so many men also loved them, secretly. It wasn't "cool" to like them. But nowadays many men told, how they actually loved their songs and performances.
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 ❤
