One of the Greatest writing talents that Britain has ever produced, sod the Gallagher Brothers this is the greatest Manchester talent ever. A Legend !!!
Many people don't look beyond frontmen, or even a band. If they did they would see many hits penned by Graham Gouldman. A foundation stone in British pop.
I watched this when it was broadcast on BBC 2 in , as I remember it , 1999. This was part of a series called ' Song Writers Circle ' I had a rented room in a Georgian house in Ealing , much like Peter Cushing's drawing room in a Hammer House of Horror , ' Curse of Dracula ' film. I loved it, it even had room for a piano. Not that I play , but you jump off it to grab hold of the rope that opens the curtains. Anyway, the girlfriend had gone, the job had gone, my out of work actor drinking partner had gone. It was me , these guys and the cheapest Bulgarian wine available to humanity. What a fantastic evening ! I am very glad to be able to relive it. Best wishes to all for 2021.
I've watched these before as I'm a huge Neil Finn fan and think Roddy Frame is amazing. I didn't listen much to the Graham Gouldman songs, but having listened to the whole thing tonight I really missed out, his songs are fantastic, what a great songwriter. New fan!
Now that Neil's with Fleetwood Mac, I'd love to see him get them to play this. Fleetwood Mac covered this song on their Mystery To Me album back in '73.
What I love about 60s pop songwriting is they were using such interesting chord structures and rhythms. This is a great example of that. The main section is like a chorus on top of a verse with that call and response with the hook. Then completely changing up the rhythm for the B section. It works because not only is every bit of it catchy, but the arrangement and playing is kind of rough. It wouldn’t be as good if they used all studio players and made it perfect.
graham didnot no you wrote that song , badd ass , well looked over a talented artist you are damn good, and so are the other members of 10cc. keep plugging on graham, i am impressed . dont quit rocking you still have for ol guy, your young as you feel. good luck graham. sincerely rod aspen p.s. try to convince eric to play with you guys maybe for a charitable event something special.sincerely rod aspen
Yes...well most people don't read the names in the parenthesis below the song title. That's who wrote it folks. That's why I hate ordering music online. There's nothing physical to read.
gould trust me we liked the other songs------one i liked off a double album was people in love----you fkn know that was a good song-----why godley n creme didnt like that i dont know---cos we liked it----10cc were famous cos they coulod do anything but had to be different-----i as a zepellin fan didnt like the stuff but im mandy i liked

I had no idea this was Graham's song...but now that I hear it, it stands to reason - truly brilliant Pop composer.
This man is a FANTASTIC songwriter!
When creating a band, how could it not be a smash with this chap involved as a member, as that great band 10cc definitely was? classic!

Hello Buick , well its our birthday to day. Very happy to be able to still listen to this.
...A fabulous talent that underpinned the best of 1960s music...
Back in the 60s, as a teen, when I first heard this song (Yardbirds version), it absolutely
blew my mind, bigtime.
One of the best songs ever written, wow!
Still discovering songs Graham wrote! Awesome talent.
I love graham gouldman he was in a band called the whirlwinds , and the mockingbirds with lol creme check out their 60s singles.
Outstanding song writing talent, beyond belief
He's absolut great! 👍🏼😎🎸
He is just a beautiful man great singer

damn, this guy wrote a bunch of hits.... impressive
Been a fan of 10cc for most of my
Life and met Graham twice he is
1 help of a guy
What a talented song writer I've always loved this song and they perform it so well!!
A national treasure
Even though I ‘grew up’ in 10cc in high school, these types of videos really are quite fantastic!
Simple, direct and fantastic
Well put.
Any time😍
I am a big fan of G.G.
He is fantastic.............hands down.
😢 bus stop, for your love,great songwriter/composer
I can't sing, can't play even though I bought two bass guitars as a teenager, I tip my hat to you Graham Gouldman, fucking legend
Now that Neil's with Fleetwood Mac, I'd love to see him get them to play this. Fleetwood Mac covered this song on their Mystery To Me album back in '73.
So very very talented :)
Gorgeous songwriting.
wow... he is responsible for so many bands throughout the 70s 80s and 90s.
Covered by Nils Lofgren. 10cc was 4 insanely talented artists.
brilliant gold

I heard Graham say recently he didn't want to stop, hooray!
