I was 12 years old in 1976......England was having a heatwave.....my hometown of London was soooooooo hot and I heard this lovely song blaring from radios everywhere.
I was 17 then and in the Dutch Navy as a 16 year old. I am 65 now and I love this song ever since. Have a good life all. Greetings from the Netherlands.
If you like this style, you should check up on Richie Kotzen or his band The Winery Dogs! he was a guitarist / backup vocals for Poison and Mr. Big; however, going his own way was much better than Poison and Mr, Big :) He does Rock, Blues, and Soul mainly!
Best guitar solo I've ever heard live, and that includes A LOT of the greats...1977. Lexington. He extended his solo by about 2 minutes....the audience was was amazed
After Navy boot camp I got sent to Meridian Mississippi and this song was new. Cassettes were still pretty new then and 8-tracks were going out. Anyway, this was a big hit. In those days, when a good song came on, all the guys would rush to grab a girl to dance with before the"good ones" were snapped up. Even a guy with only a few good moves would get by with this one, although I'm not sure what the girls were thinking.
I am sorry about that Ben. that is not your fault grasshopper. But one good thing is that all that music i was lucky to experience is still out there for you to enjoy. Unfortunately you don't have to many forums that play that music. Not to mention you might not have a music nut like me turning you onto these great songs. I try that with my 12 yr old son and he just doesnt give my music a chance. He does like some of my music. All you have is today pop music stations that play the same 5-10 songs at least 25 times each everyday. we had FM radio which turned us onto albums. Songs that would never ever get airtime on a radio station. There are so so many great songs off albums that never got played on the radio other than so FM station who would play the entire album. Led Zeppelin is the prime example they never released singles. There biggest song Stairway to Heaven which is an epic icon of a song. NEVER was released as a single.You would have never heard that song on any AM Pop radio station. You had to either buy the album or listen to FM rock stations. One good thing about your age you will be here a lot longer than i will be.
Ben it is sad because there always has been great rock music all my life. I was not here in the 50's and was too young in the 60's. But growing up i heard all the 50-60's greats on the radio. The 60's-70's and most of the 80's rock music was at it pinnacle. It started to go down hill in the 90's. There is some good music in the 90's but rock is dying. You are right about today's kids and their attention span or lack of it. Yes it costs a boatload of money to see great artists today. Springsteen, Clapton, Aerosmith all cost top $$$. You can see some other great bands or what is left of them at smaller venues for $30-60 bones. I just took my 12 yr old to his first concert George Thorogood and he enjoyed it. You can see bands like STYX, Cheap Trick, Def Leppard and others for a decent price. I just seen STYX and Def Leppard a couple weeks ago and it was awesome. Now AC/DC, U2, Rolling Stones and the Eagles will be huge money. I seen Roger Waters do the wall and i paid $250 i seen Paul McCartney twice and paid $250 both times. That is way out of your range. It sucks because back in the day all those bands were about $12 bones.
+LesSmith45 Yes Sir,I must say as a life time Musician Myself,I'll agree with you 100% I started out in the early to mid 60's on guitar & as the old saying want to be guitarist comes a dime a dozen.So I switched over to Tenor Sax & it wasn't another Sax Player in my High School or within a 50 sq.radius that I knew of ..I took off forming my Own Group & We Played the Raleigh Coliseum in my Freshman Year for the Governor & all The NC.Agriculture Members..What a Ball the four of us had running around a that big circle of the Coliseum after we played...We didn't care what was going on inside as The Governor was Speaking..The Newspaper head-lined "British Sound takes a Country Rock Beat'..& they took our Pictures sitting on a Corvette Convertible as they ask each one of us a question...Askingh me how I came up with the name "The Dynamic" & me thinking fast replied The Dictionary. LOL..Great Memories of our first Big Show...Take Care & May God Bless!
I heard this as a tween and could never get over that solo. I used to go to the public skating at the local rink and they would dedicate the last 15 -30 mins before they got ready for hockey to a "couples skate" and they'd always play this. Those 3rds and 6ths at the end of the solo stuck in my mind forever,
my life without Elvins music and friendship thank God for Elvin Bishop and thank you Elvin for every song written and every note played.Your # 1,😂 fan Roy your no good friend.
listening to this song keeps making me think of my wife who just passed away July 5th. --- her and i loved this song so much and now all I can do is feel sad and emotional when i hear it --------- death sucks!
Man for all we didn't have in the 70's/80's that we do today I can't help but think it was a better time. Am I that old guy now going on about the past? With less distractions people were more invested in spending time with each other. When it came to romance that focus on interacting with people helped make it an amazing era.
1976, I was a 21 year old United States Marine stationed at Camp LeJeune NC. I bought me a FM converter and installed it in my 1975 Ford Pinto 4 speed, 4 cylinder. Love to be 21 yrs old again and dating the ladies.
I was around 22or so when this came out.i live for music...all kinds...their vocals were clean...soulful etc..they were fine too.thanks for a nice flashback memory!
I must have been through about a million girls I'd love 'em then I'd leave 'em alone I didn't care how much they cried, no sir Their tears left me cold as a stone But then I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love, yes I did I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love It used to be when I'd see a girl that I liked I'd get out my book and write down her name Ah, but when the, the grass got a little greener over on the other side I'd just tear out that page I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love, since I met you baby I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love Free, on my own is the way I used to be Ah, but since I met you baby, love's got a hold on me It's got a hold on me now I can't let go of you baby I fooled around and fell in love I fooled around and fell in love, oh yes I did I fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, Fooled around, fooled around, fell in love Fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, Fooled around, fooled around, fell in love I fooled around, fell in love I fell in love, I fell in love, yes I did
I was a high school freshman when thus song came out. One day when I was at my friend's house, when this song came on the radio, his dog, who was napping, got up and sat by the radio. They told me that the dog would always go and sit by the radio every time that song came on.
If anyone from the band is reading these comments, this song is on a compilation of soft rock songs that I ordered from Time/Warner many years ago, and this is one of the few songs that gets played OVER AND OVER several times before I move on to the next song! Thanks for an excellent and amazing number!!
I've been singing this song softly to myself at work work weeks now. It's so fucking good! Not that I can relate personally or anything, but it is just so beautiful!
This is an amazing song! Being a teenager in the 70's was the best time to grow up. This song reminds me of a really great friend name Pam. I had back in 1976-1978. I don't know where she is now. But I would love to listen to the album with her. Like old times!!
+ Dianne Young I totally agree. We had a musical Renaissance that came from the FREEDOM to say and sing about anything whether it was frivolous, antiwar, or any of the other subjects that were of the day. And except for the Rolling Stones concert at Altamont, we never had brawls, fights, riots, etc that are so common at open air concerts today.
R.E. Lopez - Forgive me, I was young when this song came out. But if Elvin is playing the guitar, then who is the guy who's singing whom I believed was him?
I sort of forgot about this until I heard it on the radio today soooo.... Here I am! Love the tune and the group. I first heard this song back when it first came out when I was away on a job somewhere in the good ole U.S.A. but can't remember where...I traveled a lot. Thanks for putting this up.
Thankyou!This is almost my favorite song of all time. I've been trying for years to find this clip or any of the original version and just stumbled across it now! FUCKEN UNREAL don't know what else to say.
I didn't hear this song for years. It came on the radio the other day & now I've heard it a few more times. I completely had forgotten about it. Glad I found it again.
The year 1976 America's bicentennial year! I was 14 then living in NYC and I remember the city threw the biggest birthday bash with fire boats leading a huge naval parade, and everything in the city painted red white and blue! What a great year!
I was too well least until September - it was the summer of O Levels, so I played tennis and cricket sod exams listening to great music London was the best in 76 - life was so amazing.
This will sound silly, but this to me is one of the best songs ever written, and sang, to me personally, my favorite song, has always been my favorite. Love you Elvin all your music was great, but I always thought that if you have that one hit that people love and will carry on through history, that's the greatest achievement in the music industry, not many can say they've done that but you did. God Bless. Timi B
Me too Brenda. 1976, I was 21 yrs old and a United States Marine stationed at Camp LeJeune North Carolina and Fooled Around and Fell in Love with a local girl, Teri Holsen.......Stay safe during this crazy COVID19 virus my friend.
Bless you Gene. I am 600 miles from your grave, but I still think of you and smile and remember the joking fulfillness of life that you evoked. I am running with you side-by-side, we are smiling, and still giving our all. i will see you again.
I was born in 80. My ex was born in 66. He showed me so much of the 60s and 70s. I am so envious of those that enjoyed those decades. What I'd do to grow up in that era!
we have modern amenities today, medicine, HIV meds., for instance. But, I have to tell you, music today pails in comparison to this time. a time when one's voice was their calling card! I have a stressful job as a psychotherapist, this takes me back! (Elvin Bishop).
Believe it or not, we loved this song back in the day in the boogie down Bronx New York! I used to make believe they were singing "hail gail"" LOL. That's the way we used to sing it around William Howard Taft High School in the boogie down! Loved those guys. They were soooo fine! We loved them!
Elvin Bishop's tasteful blues lead on this song helps power it with a few future Starship guys including Mickey Thomas' powerhouse vocals. Elvin has a dedication to the Chicago blues which is evident on this lead. Sometimes this hit overshadows his great blues guitar albums and work as a sideman.
This was our wedding song and we were married in 1976 on July 4th. Drove across country for our honeymoon. Great times and great memories.
Hoping you're still together and having great times. Peace!
Congratulations to you and may the lord countinue to bless you and your family
Super! Greetings from the Netherlands!
@@StumptownBoy48 years
What a good song choice, this song has always made me feel good, i was born in 1988
Wish I could go back to the 70's. It was the greatest time, greasiest music.....just everything!!

70’s memories come rushing back with this beautiful song.
i was seven in '76 and i LOVED this song!!!
Holy moly I was 4 when this song came out! I still remember it!!! Great song!
One of the best songs from the 70's! Mickey's vocals and the blending on the chorus are perfect. Never get tired of this song, it's a classic.
No gimmicks, no stealing the show from any band members,just straight up awesome singing and playing.
ele deu problema gente
One of my ALL TIME favourite songs....The piano, the guitar riffs and Mickey Thomas's voice....They just don't make music like that anymore!!!
I never really liked Mickey Thomas's songs, he's got a good voice but didn't care for the songs. He nailed this song though.
he's a great singer
If you like this style, you should check up on Richie Kotzen or his band The Winery Dogs! he was a guitarist / backup vocals for Poison and Mr. Big; however, going his own way was much better than Poison and Mr, Big :) He does Rock, Blues, and Soul mainly!

***** I would NOT trade our decade for any other decade. Maybe, just Maybe the 50's would have been real cool. EXCEPT we would almost be dead now.

Terri Foster Right? I miss the glory days of MTV so much!!!
+MechanicalAnimal I would give anything to go back to the 70's and 80's again :(
No you're right on the money. Today's pop stars have murdered rock 'n' roll.
so true and so much better I feel a pinch of pain for young folks today they will never understand what we experienced
1976, summer of that year was a great for AM/FM TOP 40 Rock Radio! MAN!!!!! Love the song and video.
1976, I was a 21 year old United States Marine stationed at Camp LeJeune NC. I bought me a FM converter and installed it in my 1975 Ford Pinto 4 speed, 4 cylinder. Love to be 21 yrs old again and dating the ladies.
My parents passed
this vinyl onto me.
Someone stole it.
Thanks for letting me listen to it again🌈
Sorry for your lost of your family they were great parents.And may the lord countinue to bless you and your family
I was around 22or so when this came out.i live for music...all kinds...their vocals were clean...soulful etc..they were fine too.thanks for a nice flashback memory!
Mickey Really Is a great underrated singer!
Easily as good as Steve Perry but never had a long running gig with the same group. Good gigs but short lived ones.
@@falcon5467 Yeah, his Journey tribute track Don't Stop Believin' from 1980 is incredible!
I must have been through about a million girls
I'd love 'em then I'd leave 'em alone
I didn't care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone
But then I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, yes I did
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
It used to be when I'd see a girl that I liked
I'd get out my book and write down her name
Ah, but when the, the grass got a little greener over on the other side
I'd just tear out that page
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, since I met you baby
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
Free, on my own is the way I used to be
Ah, but since I met you baby, love's got a hold on me
It's got a hold on me now
I can't let go of you baby
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, oh yes I did
I fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around,
Fooled around, fooled around, fell in love
Fooled around, fooled around, fooled around, fooled around,
Fooled around, fooled around, fell in love
I fooled around, fell in love
I fell in love, I fell in love, yes I did

Master piece - A Flawlessly talented combo of legends!
When America Was Better & Greater, but never perfect, but better days back in the days. I was 11 years old in the summer of '76.
Oct.21: Happy birthday Singer Elvin Bishop; 2015 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee. God bless. Thanks for the upload. Blessings
This is an amazing song! Being a teenager in the 70's was the best time to grow up. This song reminds me of a really great friend name Pam. I had back in 1976-1978. I don't know where she is now. But I would love to listen to the album with her. Like old times!!
Great song. How many musicians out there can relate to playing a venue like this: Backyard party, great weather, folks digging on your music!
60's and 70's the best era
70's best era to grow up in by far
Dianne Young had a blast in the 70s
Dianne Young I've always felt like I was supposed to have come of age in the mid 70's.
Before Reagan...
Despite Carter.
+ Dianne Young I totally agree. We had a musical Renaissance that came from the FREEDOM to say and sing about anything whether it was frivolous, antiwar, or any of the other subjects that were of the day. And except for the Rolling Stones concert at Altamont, we never had brawls, fights, riots, etc that are so common at open air concerts today.
Guardians of the Galaxy brought me here, and my 4-year-old son loves this song!
One of the best songs of the 70's.
Those glasses are in style again, And this song never went out of style!
wonderful song with an amazing guitar solo in the middle. they certainly don't make's like this anymore
Oh, the memories are flooding my mind. Great times.
I met Elvin after a concert....there's a Pig smelling a flower painted on the back of his guitar.....Great guy !
Elvin Bishop on that red guitar....what a great song!

It's timeless!
Brother John and his mischief brought me...as always...miss you so much bro...

The year 1976 America's bicentennial year! I was 14 then living in NYC and I remember the city threw the biggest birthday bash with fire boats leading a huge naval parade, and everything in the city painted red white and blue! What a great year!
This may well be the quintessential 70s pop song.
It transcends from the 70's through today...
the long hot summer of 76 ,oh to be 19 again.
16 for me
I was 20! Had my Son Dec 20 1976. I was so young, and didnt realize it, man how time flies when youre having fun!
I was too well least until September - it was the summer of O Levels, so I played tennis and cricket sod exams listening to great music London was the best in 76 - life was so amazing.
14 for me..
15 and working summer as a lifeguard...working on the fooling around part

Lane Broughton The great Mickey Thomas who later went on to Jefferson Starship and then Starship sang this song. He just made this Elvin Bishop song.
silly? -------- not silly at all ---------- WE LOVE IT TOO!
I have never forgotten the lead singers awesome voice. This song rocks! Thanks! :D
Amazing song !! ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing..... and the guitar solo WOW 😊 Rock N Roll baby!

Wow, High Quality it was like I was there, watching it on a VCR...
Paul Anderson LOL!😂😂😂😁
All the best music & quitar players were from the 70’s... wish I could go back & stay in that decade
I'm coming here after hear this song covered by WINERY DOGS!!! Beautiful song.
Uma das melhores músicas de Bishop, na minha opinião.
Mickey Thomas's best performance ! Dang he tore it up !
Who's listening in 2019??
2021
For those who didn’t already know, the guy singing lead is Mickey Thomas who later joined Jefferson Starship
Eu não consigo parar de ouvir essa música. A qualidade está ótima. Parabéns
Fooling around and falling in love brought me here!
I still know the words...love , love this song.
Me too Brenda. 1976, I was 21 yrs old and a United States Marine stationed at Camp LeJeune North Carolina and Fooled Around and Fell in Love with a local girl, Teri Holsen.......Stay safe during this crazy COVID19 virus my friend.

Bring back memories..

Bless you Gene. I am 600 miles from your grave, but I still think of you and smile and remember the joking fulfillness of life that you evoked. I am running with you side-by-side, we are smiling, and still giving our all. i will see you again.
Always loved this song!
I love this song! it takes me back to my childhood days, playing with neighbourhood friends as kids till the street lights came on lol awesome song!

Yes I agree. It is beautiful.
"One of my All-Time Favorite Songs" Mickey Thomas is a Amazing!
Très belle chanson , je m'en lasserai jamais .
+1 pour Boogie Nights
I still am of the opinion that the 70's music was better than any other decade...It offered everything, and most all of it was quality!
So handsome, and he can sing too!
Always loved this song.
Yeah Thanks ..........I was like " I got to hear this" just right out of the blue Cheers
Wow, reminds me of my 21st birthday !! Just as good today too .
Love this song, the voice, voices, beat love it.
Your crazy if you don't like this music better than the crap we have today
I was born in 80. My ex was born in 66. He showed me so much of the 60s and 70s. I am so envious of those that enjoyed those decades. What I'd do to grow up in that era!
Had the good fortune to see Alvin live at the Red Creek in Rochester N. Y back in 1972.
Love this still to this day!
Karen Cline omg yes!!!!!
forever times 70s
we have modern amenities today, medicine, HIV meds., for instance. But, I have to tell you, music today pails in comparison to this time. a time when one's voice was their calling card! I have a stressful job as a psychotherapist, this takes me back! (Elvin Bishop).

I think the drummer in this video, Don Baldwin, also later joined Starship.
This is the story of my husband and I. Together 23 years and married 20 this year. We both just wanted to fool around but then fell in love.
