I remember buying this single from the round record shop in Chrisp Street Market, Poplar, East London in 1972, i was 12 years old, no Donny Osmond or David Cassidy for me thank you very much.
One of the great basslines!!
John Wetton....Yes!!!
I remember dancing across the floor on ICU on night duty to this brilliant track back in 1976/7. I’m now 81 and still love it. Those were the days.
Time to dance again, my lady : 81 is the new 50 💃
Different vocals , Rn'b at its best, musically excellent, something different, 50 years on this still makes me enjoy music
Cracking 70's rocker ! love it , the only front man who gave Noddy Holder a run for his money.I may be 66, but this song gets me up on my feet,
effing brilliant I glad Iwas alive then.
Our local Leicester lads ‘brill , Chappo one of the great rock voices 🇬🇧🎼
Absolutely NOBODY has a voice like Chappo !
Yer I'm 66 and remember going to see them still has to be one of the best voices ever Chris Hill
While working at Radio Rentals Salford I heard Alan ??? trying to sing it, ha ha!
Vincent Jones of Sweet Sensation,2 work stations down from me (Phil Kelly aka Lionel) repairing VHF/UHF tuner units wasn't impressed.
It's always stuck in my head , happy days !
Great tune 👍🤓.
I was blown away the first time I ever heard this and it isd just as great today, how lucky we were to be born early enough to have bands like this as part of our story.
Saw them London they sounded as good live as in the studio
@@grahamturner97 I believe he lives full time in Germany now. I used to have this as a ringtone on my phone once.
Electric flag
Nothing like this today Ron, brilliant
This is a classic - I listen to it on a regular basis - has to be one of the best tunes ever!!!
One of my all-time favourite records, funky in a unique way... I never tire of it. Thanks for posting!
A blast so good to hear I'm 65 now.....It still does it
I'm 59. Loved this and "In My Own Time" when I was around 15/16. Where've the years gone?
me too also
Still love family, but have been hooked on Steely Dan for ever and a day, fabulous to hear this again
Ah so another 65 year old ha ha, I wore juke boxes out playing this
Snap at ya...
All of the forgoing. Im 75 and listening to this, as I oftendo, brings back terific memories.
Family were truly purely rock n fucking roll........ Burlesque.......... AWESOME!!!!!
what a voice! my era, fantastic
A unique rock sound
Deserves more airplay
I remember this track from 72 I was 18 still a great song.
This used to bang out on the jukebox in my favourite watering hole in the 70s. Back room full of my long haired peers, we would turn the volume up ourselves, that jukebox was full of epic music like this, what a time to live!!
Rock meets Funk, unique music ......very funky !!
This has got power , balls , and Chapman. Should have been No 1 for 15 years.
The most under appreciated band of their era. Roger Chapman's Vocal....instantly recogniseable, the arrangements, the musicianship, the space, the playing.....should have been Giants, 😜✌️
Roger Chapman's voice sounds as if he gargles with razor blades and whisky. I saw him with the Shortlist at Victoria. Great night.
i know it is quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to watch newly released series online?
Leicester's finest without a doubt, awesome Me'duck's
my mate had band stand couldn,t stop playin it such great memories from that bygone era boy do i miss those days great friends great gigs don,t think it will ever be repeated ever again
What a voice, what a band...fantastic memories.
This is a rockin track so far ahead of it`s time. Still stands tall today.
Triggers exactly the same emotions in me as 40 years back. Amazing.Such great music.
Brilliant, so many memories
Saw Roger and Family lived in Hyde Park in 1968 I think. Raw power and a great set list.
No wonder we rocked and gave it what fettle back in the days where there was no let up ! Just think about it we were spoilt rotten with fantastically long lasting bands that's never been 4gotten and shouldn't ever be !
I went to school with his sister Brenda 😀😀😀😀
Brilliant track. I still have the original vinyl lp
:) Hope your doing well !
Brilliant sound and totally evocative. This music stands the test of time - I wonder how much of today's dross will still sound as good in 47 years.
My grown-up kids are asking me why I keep asking this new-fangled 'Alexa' to play this track in our kitchen every morning this week - so I give a quick back story: 1973, loved it then, love it now, think only two other vocalists back then could have matched Roger Chapman's vocal, perhaps Joe Cocker, or Rod Stewart - "I got all my cards in one SHOE!!!"
Hi. I’d just like to put in a word for Terry Reid as well. If you haven’t already done so, you might lend an ear to his version of “Stay with me baby” of the album “Terry Reid” (1969, I think). Also off that album, in a more larynx-friendly style and more wistful tone, I think you might like the tracks July and Mayfly. One of them, can’t remember which, puts me in mind of Jose Feliciano. Enjoy. Btw this is in no way to detract from Chappo and Family, I was and still am a huge fan, it was impossible not to be once you’d seen them. I would have very much liked to attend one their recent “reunion” concerts as much to play a small part in bringing it home to the remaining members, and Chappo in particular, in what deep affection they have always been held by their fans, but unfortunately circumstances didn’t permit. One of my all -time greatest concert memories is of witnessing them, from the front row, play an extended version of Old Songs, New Songs. Now I’m a fan of high-tempo, no holds-barred rock a la The Who, so when ( and I still find this hard to believe) they actually OPENED their set with a supercharged 10 or 12 minute version of what, to my mind, is a first-choice finale song... well, I couldn’t believe my luck! My right calf muscles were sore for a couple of days afterwards because I’d been tapping my foot so hard. No, Family were something else. Btw why don’t you treat your kids to My Friend The Sun, for Family in a different mood? Just a thought. Bye.
1972 I wasthoughas 16 😮I COULD BE WRONG though 😁Bloody 66 now 😣GREAT BAND & Thire BEST track 👍g
This is one great song- I woke up with just the descending guitar riff in my head today- spent all day tracking it down- and here I am, I last heard this in the 70s- when I was in my teens, bloody good song then!! great song now!!
What a voice - I remember them when I was at my last year in school - a unique sound and never equalled
Love this tune!
I was in a damp tent at a damp festival when this floated over the sound system and i floated over to the source and found...... i got all my cards in one shoe, but it sure aint done me no harm
The Best Single EVER released!Fantastic,Magical,wonderful!!
saw them many times, i never tire of their music, i'm 72 now, great memories.
so far ahead of their time and so forgotten. tragedy.
Loved This Then Loved It Still Now
Thought i was so cool leaving woolies with this album tucked under my arm so many years ago ..seems like yesterday.
Blessed to have seen them live a few times. They were on a par with the best live acts of the time and wonderfully unique.
wow love this brought back memories the intro fabulous
..what a band and what a time... :-)
SUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPERB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bandstand was their magnum opus. Every song is different, and brilliant.
Unique style, not bogged down by commercialism. As said underrated
Great memories of this song and others of theirs , The Weavers Answer was sublime .
great song from an underrated band!
Unique, rock at its best, Roger Chapman, what a voice.
Unbelivable music.
Roger Chapman what a voice.
perfect
Awesome. Still love it. Music with feeling.
The Goat at his most electric !
Fabulous.....brings back great memories
Still amazing 40 years on!
SUPERB!!
This was in the top ten at one stage, It was my tonic to pop music because it was not main stream, loved it, still do.
Something made me think of this song today. I don't think I've listened to it since 73? They use to play this on the KNAC in Long Beach CA.
indeed..no more words needed..
I can remember hear the song playing on the radio in the seventies. Takes me back to being four.
very good...........................
Ah the memories this evokes, a college disco, each week when this started to play the same girl came to dance to this one song with me *sigh*
The only person who knows LESS about music is Louis FUCKIN Walsh.
Loved this band used to hitch all over to see them - very original. I remember standing in a hallway really hot, and Roger walked by and said a few words, to my eternal shame I was tongue tied grrrr.
My cousin Colin was well into them and my first memories of the band was him playing Family Entertainment for me. I was blown away if a 13 year old can be. Saved up to buy Bandstand. In my mind they never made a bad album. Saw them on the farewell tour, brilliant band.
great. sound
Now thats what I call a lead vocal.

Well, I haven't heard this for a long time! Thank you!😁
Chapman 1980 Hitchin Hertfordshire I grew up listening to Family, Fleetwood mac, Traffic etc (had an older brother) Chappo was amazing didn't need a mic what a voice.
great song!
what a voice, incomparable
One of best, if not the best live band around at the time.
epic, yes old fart, magic music and still here. the music and me.
I remember the band when they were called the Farinas from gigs at Leicester University around 1963/4 - if I recall fronted by Jim King and his brother(?) prior to Chapman joining them. They were a class act head and shoulders above most other local bands.
God it's good! So much better than I even remember!
Coolest cafe music when I was 15. Still an amazing voice
Oh yes. Still sounds great. Apologies for how long its been for my next listen mr chapman.
I still love this album (BANDSTAND). It remains fresh, and I think, for me, it's a real testimonial to the power of originality in music: Don't sound like anyone else, or anything else. Make a point of being unlike anything else in existence at the time of making. Do everything so wrong that it sounds right (after several repeated frustrating attempts to grasp it). I suppose every true fan of music has some touchstone like this, something tattooed on the brain, no matter the era, but personally, I'm truly thankful for material like this, that it came along between the bloated blues rock of the late 60s and the preposterous excesses of a lot of the art rock that was concurrent with the original output of this very band. Sandwiched between noxious tarry layers of dross on offer from the above-mentioned offenders, rare elements, not yet on the periodic table, were being mined by pioneering visionaries like FAMILY. It heals me. It saved me.
Wow yungun yuv got it just like me and millions more ? Being lucky and not realising wad dee but it's great we can relive owa 50 years ago anytime and the lift it gives is magical!!!!!
I love this track. I am afraid I don't know the album
@@robinwilson1433it's called Bandstand..
Chappo!!! Pure seventies.
saw them live so many times... what a band... epic... and yes im an old fart (best time in music tbh) haha
neil banks well I bless you and I wish I too was there even though I'm nearly 60.. I do know this band even though it was I was in my late teens.. but just like the rest of the hippy best...
Hers from another old fart you are so right,happy days
I'm the same age & we had the best time of it. So many great British bands & singers. Chapman was up there with Marriott, Rodgers & Cocker. A great singer!
I am 53 and my older sister brother played this to death when i was a youngster. I was 8 years old and this song was all over my house as a kid and i loved it. I was more 80s generation but this is one of the first "adult" songs that i genuinely liked. As akid i always thought the lead singer sounded like a villian lol. Later got into Jazz, Jazzfunk, Soul, hip hop and all the stuff that was "trendy" Only as years went by did i start listening to Family again in my late 30s and realized i had become a bit of a Jazzfunk bore. Now i enjoy all sounds and styles from yesteryear which had actually influenced the stuff i consumed in the 80s, i just didnt know it at the time.
Maybe an old fart ( me too ) but we have perfume music taste !!
This takes me back,saw them in Lincoln in 72-73,brilliant!!!
Such a new brand of music (at that time)..my friends couldn't understand back in the late 60's...early 70's..."his voice is strange"! No no that's his expression! love 'em...a great band...
I am proud to say I seen them in Lincoln ,Brilliant band, undrerated
Worra voice, worra song. Miles in front of anything. Kind of wow!! Makes the beer go down better!
what a tune,,everytime l listen to this , my wife always complains about my constant humming of this great sound long after ive listened to it,it stays in the mind long after it hits you,,
That riff !
So funky, I'm amazed it hasn't been sampled.
Indeed. Sexy, funky, sublime.
Me too ! What a riff , begging to bé sampled, some people got no taste....😢
The bit that Cowell wouldn't get is the raw and unpolished production that gives it a distinct sound. What a voice!
Don't mention that name in conjunction with genuine music from real creative talented people please.
The only person who knows LESS about music is Louis F!ck !n Walsh.
fantastic group love song burlesque one of my first singles I brought
oh such memories, used to dance to this with a beautiful girl called Sharon, the only tune we shared, blissfull miss her and it
Absolutely brilliant!x
Remember seeing them at Bridlington Spa in '72
I was a bit too young for this but I found Chappo in 77 and have seen him at least once every decade since.
Just overlooked by all as Led Zep & then queen blew the music scene away at that time, they are as good as any and Chappo's voice is unique. LEGENDS.
Absolutely , went to Uni in Leicester , classic local band !
Queen don't deserve to be considered in the same category - they were shit!
@@trockfield77 I think your being very harsh, no Queen are not at all the same thing at all as as classic bands of this era like Family, Free, Curved Air and all of the brilliant others, I was never a Queen fan but they were incredibly good and some of thier stuff was wonderful like Seven Seas of Rhye

@@trockfield77 true x
Chappo was great still love this
Not by any stretch of the imagination the handsomest bunch I ever saw live but without doubt one of the best live acts I witnessed
.
Class 70s Music
Always one of my favorites back in the day
RIP John Wetton.
