Dating my Wife in 1975. Listened to Sir Rod for hours in her new car, kissing an necking... She passed away in 2010. This song brings me back to those beautiful, Nights.......Miss my Wife................Thanks Rod.................................
thats so touching... to have felt such love in your lifetime you truly had...you trul....*remembers ricky gervais having a dance off*...you had a good life..*duh DuH DuH Duh DUH DUH!* and your wife in heaven is waiting on you.
Most people think the version from their era is the best, or from their favorite artist. Thing is, is it's not a competition. Rod Stewart had the woodwind counter melody put in which made the song so much more melencholic than previous versions and which all subsequent versions have. Also Kelly closely paraphrases Rod's versions vocal including ad-libs. They both do an excellent job! Thanks for putting it on and you made a very professional job with the video.
The videos I stumble upon The song is a classic The daughter is gifted with the film making the camera angles are great The back shot with the boy walking is excellent The boy is the key to family. He makes his sister stronger-she protects him. anyone who finds any negativity in this film is only jealous of the love between this whole group. This man has more then the any rich man-he has love
One great thing about Rod Stewart is the quality of songs he chose that he didn't pen; from Tim Hardin to Cat Stevens, he knew the songs that he loved and could interpret with his own inimitable style. God bless you Rod, you're an elderly statesman of the British rock establishment now but truly loved and respected by so many. Respect.
just in case you're not aware, Rod's version is also a cover, albeit the most iconic recording of the song. the first person to record the song was Chris Farlowe in 1967 and it was written by Mike d'Abo (from Mannfred Mann).
Greatness! The history of this beautiful song is interesting. Everyone who heard it knew it was a hit and maybe a career maker. Rod Stewart was lucky enough to be able to record it first and he did a great job.
"Handbags and Gladrags" is a song written in 1967 by Mike d'Abo, who was then the lead singer of Manfred Mann. D'Abo describes the song as "saying to a teenage girl that the way to happiness is not through being trendy. There are deeper values."
My father loved rod stewert an i truly think that this video says it all....very well filmed the little dude in it is sure to be a star one day, top notch and thank you for showing me :)
@@brendahawkins3965 He's a talented young man. It's a tough business to get into. As Tom Petty said, "if you are thinking that I could be a musician or a lawyer, then become a lawyer, because if you choose music, it has to take your full commitment." Take care & stay well!
Thank your daughter for making this video. She adds a layer of meaning to the song, how we can feel like a 7 year-old when we first understand something monumental.
One of the masterpieces created in the 60's (('69). Rod Stewart is a great singer and always works with top notch musicians. Love the film too. Song could mean so many things to so many people. Remember seeing the the title in a list on a loss leader compilation even before I heard the song as a child. Thanks Sammie for the glimpse of the countryside. England?
Oh, my god, what are you trying to do to me? That is totally priceless. Great way to wake up, seeing this in the morning. Thanks. That yourng man is grown now, wowz.
The piano in this is really great. The singing flows more and sounds less stressed than in this version it's a great song all in all though wether it's Rod Stewart or Stereophonics
Its beautiful its beautiful never tell anyone about the details its yours who cares about the ones around you you have the ability to love you have everything
Next to this video was an advert failing to sell me $40-60 handbags. Ha!! Thanks for the post: Great song & video. Great acting & filming. Especially like the last shot!
I love the black and white....well done....to think that the person that took the time to create this lovely piece will be able come back to this same page in 10 years from now and 10 million views and this video will still be here......now that's cool...
Kelly jones 's voice is really richer than Rod Stewart's one in my opinion, but this "older" version is not bad. And I really appreciated the video!! I love the spirit this footage emanates! Really cool!!
This video is BADASS! The grasses, the bracken and the Queen Anne's Lace blowing in the wind..The stone walls, and of course this beautiful and innocent young boy. It is haunting and unforgettable. One of my favorite songs by Sir Rod. Well done!
♥️ My Mother always said this song reminded her of me. Funny, because Mandolin Wind reminds me of my relationship to her. ( Though I don’t have a steel guitar... I’ve got my dog 🐶) 😉 ♥️
This is the Road Stewart that I loved and admired. Great songs, concepts and musicianship. Before he went disco and commercially heavier. Now he thinks he's Frank Sinatra or some soul singer. I don't know -- I still respect him as a singer and performer but he needs to do another Gasoline Alley and redeem himself a little. He's one of the survivors of the rock era -- he has the talent still...the maturity too. He and Dylan seem to be grasping for things in the past -- but they are things they didn't create. So they can't possibly resurrect those old jewels. No more than if those old singers tried singing one of their tunes seriously. Enough with the nostalgia...one album suffices, we get the message, you liked those songs and grew up on them. Now, get back to what you do best. (Am I being too harsh? Or logical?). I want my old Rod Stewart back -- there are songs out there that are as good as Gasoline Alley's that could be Gasoline Alley II or Return to Gasoline Alley. I would rather listen to Rod tackle blues the way Tom Jones does than MOR standards. I am listening to his "Cut Across Shorty" right now...damn. Excellent beyond compare.
I had the 8 track to this song & it's album I would play every night while dozing off to sleep. Fabulous just fabulous, it hits just right... Great post ✌️2 ya
The song was written by Mike D'Abo and ithe original recording was done by Chris Farlowe Rod Stewart did a cover of it on his first (and I think, best) album "An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down). Mike D'Abo was the lead singer of Manfred Mann's Band from 1966-69. He also sang (I guess Herod) on the original recording of "Jesus Christ Superstar". Thank you for püosting this wonderful version of a wonderfu song. Cheers to your brother.
I am going to the UK for the first time in March 09. I expect to travel from London to Manchester and Liverpool at some point. I will see if I can make the stop along the way. thanks!!
I have watched your video a few times, and I think it's very visually pleasing. The black and white is a nice touch. Your brother did a nice job. You really have a gift keep up the good work
Many yesrs have passed sibce you made this video, I wish you and your brother could do a redo of this video with your younger brother now older..it would be a forever classic..hope this text finds you both well..thankyou for this wonderful video
Benny and I were going to add this to our setlist and since it's just US 2 lol we're gonna convert it to an acoustic version..... I like the vid too well done!
Like it. The black and white is especially nice. The song is like a nursery rhyme, full of metaphors - I like the way you've juxtaposed the images of your brother and this song together, he looks like he could have been transported from the past into the present. The soul and the integrity of the song seems to transfer itself into him somehow.
All listen to "Reason to believe" This is another Rod classic and someone else when poor Rod passes will release it! He is a master of music plus voice , his music and songs will live foreever
+Nick Manning I agree, Nick. This song and Reason to Believe are the two best songs by Rod Stewart. Although they were written by other songwriters, nobody delivers them better. They both have great lyrics and terrific instrumentation that lends to the mournful, reflective tone. They still hold up over 40 years later.
There is youtube video of Mike d'Abo explaining the history of this song (worth watching!). He says that Ricky Gervais said he chose the song for The Office because it was the saddest song he ever heard. A beautiful song and the piano riff stays in my head for days every time I hear it. These days when I hear the song and think about what it's talking about, I think of the Kardashins.
We are having a hard time with our teen grand daughter and this song says it all about what is happening in her life today, I tear up just hearing the song being sung, was the song written by Mike D,abo from Manfred Mann, I am sure I watched him perform this song on youtube
my mum used to fly, she loved rod and she loved handbags and gladrags, played for her at her funeral. amazing loving caring woman, miss you mum.
One of the saddest songs ever written. A masterpiece...
the glorious 60's and 70's will NEVER be beaten for every genre of music.those of us who lived it knew it was a special era.
Dating my Wife in 1975. Listened to Sir Rod for hours in her new car, kissing an necking... She passed away in 2010. This song brings me back to those beautiful, Nights.......Miss my Wife................Thanks Rod.................................
thats so touching... to have felt such love in your lifetime you truly had...you trul....*remembers ricky gervais having a dance off*...you had a good life..*duh DuH DuH Duh DUH DUH!* and your wife in heaven is waiting on you.
How is life now ?
bless you man never is easy losing your loved ones i hope it gets easier for you
Music can bring us right back to a beautiful time. Bless you brother and sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss Brian. Peace man!!

God in heaven I hope we never lose Rod Stewart.....the voice of SO many generations!!!!
The videos I stumble upon
The song is a classic
The daughter is gifted with the film making
the camera angles are great
The back shot with the boy walking is excellent
The boy is the key to family. He makes his sister stronger-she protects him.
anyone who finds any negativity in this film is only jealous of the love between this whole group.
This man has more then the any rich man-he has love
One great thing about Rod Stewart is the quality of songs he chose that he didn't pen; from Tim Hardin to Cat Stevens, he knew the songs that he loved and could interpret with his own inimitable style. God bless you Rod, you're an elderly statesman of the British rock establishment now but truly loved and respected by so many. Respect.
Am I the only 60 year old guy choking back tears? Well done!
You're not alone! I still have this album from '69. I've shed tears to this song since then.
No. Utter disbelief in the difference between then and now.
Maybe, we had it
too good
Because today is not
Even in the same dimension.
Im 22 choking back tears as well. Listened to tgis song a lot as a teenager
@@brotherbear1162 Many women chocking them back too. Well this one is and I can imagine all my teenage friends would be too.
Nope
Fantastic !what more is there to say!
just in case you're not aware, Rod's version is also a cover, albeit the most iconic recording of the song. the first person to record the song was Chris Farlowe in 1967 and it was written by Mike d'Abo (from Mannfred Mann).
His voice makes me shiver,even now ❤️
It's 16th November 2020. I'm quarantined because my uncle has got the virus. Listening to this song after watching The Office. ❤
Being a woodwind player, I've always loved this song. Beautiful oboe and french horn..........
Just a beautiful track by Rod. I think perhaps a lot of folks can relate to the words.
A fabulous song. I used to listen to this on my sisters transistor radio late at night. Classic stuff
This masterpiece talk about the time of innocence... the time that we have all lived the time of our childhood ...Thank you Sir Rod!!!
Hi would love to know what you think of my 17 year old grandsons cover of this ruclips.net/video/T7Emz268Dio/видео.html
@@brendahawkins3965 Wonderful cover...guitar
solo very well played and a strong and wonderful voice
Valentino Valentini hi thank you so much. Hope you might subscribe ♥️
Valentino Valentini thank you so much. I hope you might subscribe and check out other videos of Josh ♥️ ruclips.net/user/JoshBroughster
Greatness! The history of this beautiful song is interesting. Everyone who heard it knew it was a hit and maybe a career maker.
Rod Stewart was lucky enough to be able to record it first and he did a great job.
Actually he was the third to record, this , behind Chris Falowe in 1967 and then Love Affair in 68.
Could bring tears from a stone...
One of his best!❤❤❤❤
Very well done, creative and original. Thanks for posting an old favorite.

Leander Hamilton The Stereophonics did a cover of it in 2001 too
Well, I didn't know this and am glad you told me mate. Why are people always dick heads on comment section? 🤣
Excellent lyrics
@gnilttbs
Youre such a smart ass. I didnt know that bit of information & why do you have to criticize someone for posting it?
@gnilttbs
Do the rest of you "knows" how to speak proper English? It's "the rest of us "know" not "knows"
Look it up
Beautiful and sad. One of my favorite songs ever. You can teach some performers to wail but they cannot make you feel.
My father loved rod stewert an i truly think that this video says it all....very well filmed the little dude in it is sure to be a star one day, top notch and thank you for showing me :)
Brings back memories, some fond, some regrets, a true folk ballad.
This is one of them hidden jewels on YT. I hope it stays up forever.
This is one of his best. Love!!!!!! the video!!!!
When Rod was in top form there was not another front man who could touch him. A beautiful and brilliant work by Mike d'Abo who's playing piano.

Michael Ulbricht thank you Michael 😘
Masterpiece...Thank's.
Rod Stewart..... is One class act
I Got Goosebumps listening to this wow!! x
one of my favorite songs, ans I've been coming back to this video for years now...thought I'd finally say that I appreciate it!
Thank your daughter for making this video. She adds a layer of meaning to the song, how we can feel like a 7 year-old when we first understand something monumental.
It's got to be 'your 'poor' old Grandad'. To me, that's whats the songs all about - one of the best songs I have ever heard
What a lovely video xxx

Beautiful song..Very meaningful lyrics...Powerful
Lol, this kid is SO British that you can literally see his accent on his lips as he lipsyncs. Very cute, and great job all around.
Next to this video was an advert failing to sell me $40-60 handbags. Ha!!
Thanks for the post: Great song & video. Great acting & filming. Especially like the last shot!
I always liked this song. Kind of a lonesome one. The video captures that. Nice work.
I love the black and white....well done....to think that the person that took the time to create this lovely piece will be able come back to this same page in 10 years from now and 10 million views and this video will still be here......now that's cool...
That was a great touch starring your little brother in black and white.Great job.
great song, love Rod Stewart, your little brother is amazing bless him, hugs x
This is a wonderfully strange song. It is moving in ways that are difficult to describe, but it moves you with meaning.
Kelly jones 's voice is really richer than Rod Stewart's one in my opinion, but this "older" version is not bad. And I really appreciated the video!! I love the spirit this footage emanates! Really cool!!
The best song Rod ever performed.
Perfect voice as always...best cover of this song
Really charming video to accompany this. Excellent work
I am learning the piano part. So beautiful.❤
That wee guy has a great voice.
Sounds just like Rod Stewart
Thank you Sammie' this was the song that made me realise how great rod was.
This was the 1st song I favorited . This video charms my sox off. You have a true creative gift. Thank you.

Nice job! Probably my all time fave from Rod STEWART!
Wow, this brings me back. Great song.
Great !. Your brother did a fantastic job too. One of my favorite songs, so bittersweet for me. Thanks for sharing.
amazing song....and in listening, and reading the comments, I have learned even more......such a message that will never leave me.....TIMELESS.....
Can’t beat this....love Rods voice 🥰😍🥰😘
Good HQ audio and support video, wonderful song, thanx
Reminds me of the young people , who forget about their elders and
what they gave up to give them the right to have they're opinion..
So sorry Sammie , i thought you were a young man , i see you are a very nice young lady with bags of talent, much RESPECT !!!!!.

+John LaStrada You, Sir, have a real taste in music.
oh I remember the good old days with Elton John before he turned gay and long John Baldry. Rod had the best blues voice of all time and blew it
One doesn't turn gay. One comes out. I pray that your closemindedness develops into fruition. Peace, DMB
I'm with you. It makes me cringe when these old rockers start sounding like lounge singers. On the flip side, Rod would be too old for Maggie May now!
Rockin Bluzcats very funny Son. You know he was married to Renata. Stop being an idiot
I had the 8 track to this song & it's album I would play every night while dozing off to sleep. Fabulous just fabulous, it hits just right...
Great post
✌️2 ya
The best version of a great song.
Most definitely although Stereophonics version is brilliant as well
Thanks Samm. Always loved this song. Nice job by your little brother. Long may you all run.

One of my favorite old Rod Stewart songs.
