I just heard the sad news that Steve has passed away. For 49 years now, a smile appears on my face when I hear this beautiful song. It will always make me smile.
What an all time classic. I wonder if he felt proud about creating one of the best songs ever written? No matter how many years I sing along to this song I still can’t come in at the right time.
@@NellyGandhella You're wrong on all counts. I bought this single when I was 16. I'm also a Lennon fan. But not a fan of people who hide behind his name anonymously!
This song marked my childhood, a happy memory of which there were few. Sunday 17th March 2024...I just heard the sad news of Steves passing! RIP Steve Harley.
Me too, this song brings back memories, when my son was born on the 8th of May 1975, this record was played on the radio and it always reminds me of that day. Thank you Steve for this wonderful song, you brought joy into my life and may your soul rest in peace. Amen!!!🙏🙏🙏💕
young people today do not understand how much of an impact the release of these records was in the days before the internet and streaming. we would wait each week for the new chart to be released and then to see the acts on music shows like Top Of The Pops, eagerly looking to see whether our favourite record/s had gone up or down in the chart. Everything today is instantaneous - then, we had to wait for stuff.
You hit the nail mate, I remeber saving for my first LP of Queens Sheer heart attack. The music scene is so fragmented now. Still good music been made ya have to search a bit. Try Fontaines DC a great Irish band , Cheers amigo
We did, I loved TOTP and I wrote the charts in a book , saddo that I was, with Sunday Top 40. trips to Woolworths for my single 45 records with pocket money.... those were the days. Kids today don't know the fun it all was !!!
My dad sang this on the tv show Stars in your eyes in the 90’s! Steve was so impressed, he gave my dad his guitar to play on the show and to keep!!! Generous and humble human being. Myself, I’ve been listening to Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel since the 70’s. My first album of theirs, unfortunately I forget the name of but, (where Steve is sat in the huge wicker chair) one of my favourite songs on the album was Sebastian….where the orchestra kick in…Superb album!! Indeed, the loss of another one of our iconic 70’s singers. Sleep peacefully 🙏🏻🕊️
As a salute and tribute has some pipes the swag and layout of which he Made Us Smile in this Song.This got to be one of the greatest songs in history of nearly 70years.Says it all keeps getting realised over the years u scroll it's epic and it goes back on the UK Charts
Shocking news, and very sad. I have been listening to Steve's music all day. I'm an old man. I've lost many loved ones. Family and friends. It never gets easier. Peace to you all.
I was a great admirer of Steve Harley and had the privilege of seeing him in concert on well over 100 occasions over the last 50 years. I even bunked off school when I was 13 to see him with the original Cockney Rebel. He was an outstanding songwriter and performer and I doubt if we will ever see anyone like him again. RIP Steve
Parents need to teach their kids to listen to the old eternally fresh songs and keep them alive. I was born many years after this song was made and been loving it for many years now.
RIP The great Steve Harley- An icon of great music and a memorable song that will resonate with generations to come!! Fairwell...You will live on in peoples hearts and minds!
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.
Extremely sad news I absolutely loved this song from the first time I heard it. It is on my playlist for every time I drive my car. So terribly sad news Steve Harley passed away. RIP. Condolences to his family, he is a true music legend
In loving memory of Steve Harley, Your music and your spirit will always live on through the iconic song "Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)." You brought joy and happiness to countless fans with your incredible talent and passion for music. Rest in peace, Steve, and thank you for the memories. You will never be forgotten.
Sad to hear of the death of Steve Harley. No one born in the 50s or 60s will forget ‘Come Up and See Me’ a - a seminal single that still sounds fresh today.
My parents had a record shop when this hit no 1 in 1975 not long after my Dad had stopped working for EMI. I was not quite 7 years old and too young to appreciate meeting him. Things were hard at home and I would play it on loop on headphones whilst the arguments raged. Still have the single and it’s a prized possession. It was the first single I ever “bought” myself and more than any other this song shaped my taste in music and marked the beginning of my childhood. May you rest in peace Sir and thank you for the memories. We’ll come up and see you sometime
Dear all, I bought the single Sebastian in January 1974 as it was #1 hit in Belgium. Saw him the first time in Brussels on 10 March 1976 during Timeless Flight tour (with legendary Arno as supporting act). Afterwards more than 20 times, last time last year 25 April in Leuven. I followed him my whole life, nobody’s music came so close to my heart. Enjoyed his music, enjoyed his concerts. He gave us the best feelings one can have. So sad, but so thankful! All the strength needed to his family. Dirk from Belgium.
❤My teenage years I heard Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel and I loved the music from the very start ❤so amazing and the sound from Steve’s voice just fantastic 👌was lucky in 1989 watching him and the band at a small festival in Denmark 🇩🇰 unbelievable having this opportunity to see him live and only a few meters away 💪it was stunning- years later I saw him live 2 times 👍to me still the same - one of my music favourites at all time💙 Thx Steve Harley You done it all You make us all smile 😃 R.I.P. 🙏
this song still blows me away, the lyrics are personal to him and written with spite and venom at something that happened to him directly before writing it. The bass line is incredibly complicated but they make it seem effortless and mellow. Its a beautifully written and performed song. It really highlights whats wrong with all this manufactured crap being produced in recent years that is just there to make money, not to tell a story. Fleetwod Mac did the same thing as this song did, telling stories and their own personal pain and problems through music and verse. Its amazing
RIP Steve This song brings back great memories of my younger days. Such an iconic song from a better time - perhaps I could say simpler time 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🏴🏴🏴🏴👍 👍 👍
Just heard Steve's passed away, devastated, absolutely brilliant guy, sincere sympathies to the family, friends and millions of his fans from all over the world. Steve you definitely made me smile 😊❤💐💐🙏🙏💐💐❤️❤️🏴🏴🏴
I cannot believe what I just heard on the radio news that's Steve Harley just passed only 73 I'm absolutely stunned thank you Steve for all your wonderful wonderful hours of beautiful beautiful music and not forgetting the most beautiful and most elegant Sebastian love and peace to you Steve Harley 💜🙏💐🌹💜
Rest in peace Steve Harley!
Thanks you Steve. No more needs to be said.
Amen
My daughter told me
But with a good beat! 💔
DaHell??? Whot??? He died?? Oh man.. R.I.P. Steve.
I just heard the sad news that Steve has passed away. For 49 years now, a smile appears on my face when I hear this beautiful song. It will always make me smile.
And me too.
Me too 😢
My sons birth song
A sad day Rest in Peace Steve Harley 😢
Steve RIP. Having this played at my funeral! Just a great song from my younger years, and it makes me smile❤
What an all time classic. I wonder if he felt proud about creating one of the best songs ever written? No matter how many years I sing along to this song I still can’t come in at the right time.
Bravo pote .

RIP Steve Harley.One of the best songs of the 70s.
It was THE BEST song of the 70's🤩
Agree whloeheartedly with that sentiment - it was so different !
I used to hit this in Canley, with Rover Group.
I heard (and loved) it in the movie "The full monthy" when I was a kid in the 90's... RIP Mr Harley...
Never stopped dancing to this, loved the 70s music 👠
I'll be 72 on Thursday, hearing of the sad loss of Steve brings home your own mortality. Rest in peace Steve....you'll live on with Make me smile. xx
Amazing just how many famous people pass around 50s, 60s 70s. Maybe not reflected in the normal population?
@@gerrybanyard1440 I hope that you're right Gerry. 🤞🙋♀️
Happy birthday for tomorrow.
@@billybonds4449 that's really nice of you Billy, thank you, it means a lot. x 🙋♀️
Yes very true , growing up in Dublin in the 70s this song was huge at the youth club disco . No more discos anymore 😞
RIP Steve Harley (1951-2024)😢
Time was so fast
Listening again, hoping to keep you alive, in spirit,
JaneR

In the days when it was worth the wait.❤

Fantastic story Tracy. I still have my old vinyl of the Psychomodo album, and was lucky enough to see him on tour in the early 80`s!

Saddened to hear of this geezer's passing. Hard to believe those born in the 1950s have passed 70. RIP ❤
Not all of us ... yet 😮
It's not even old😥Such sad news.
Tell me about it !! 🙂😂🤣
Love that term " geezer"...reminds me of Arthur Daley and Terry...very fitting.
And one of my favourite songs of decades gone by.
I was born in 1957, so only 66 (almost 67) now, I was almost 18 when this song was number one in the charts.
One of the greatest guitar breaks in the history of the World.
RIP Steve Harley one of the best songs of that decade
This track became a UK no.1 on the day my Mum and Dad got married. RIP Steve. Legend.
That’s beautiful!! 👌🏽❤️👰🤵🏻♂️

I’m not musical, but my wife is. Apparently modern music rhythm is based on the same beat as nursery rhymes…
Ive just heard. Wadda man - grew up with his music. I got the feeling of riding the waves. Maybe we all tarried for a while. RIP x
Rest in Heavenly peace Steve Harley !
Thanks for the beautiful memories.
RIP Steve ❤
Rest in peace and thanks for the music.
RIP, Steve. Great artist, finally left for timeless flight.
