Great Song. Will always be a great song! RIP. Steve Harley. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Gone to the great band, in the sky! 💯🏆
I agree, great song. England in the 1970's must have been pretty good to live in. I just found out he had polio as a child, so he did well.
Such an iconic song that has crossed generations.
You left the world a better place
Steve.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS❤

Polio never held Ian Dury back either !

“England in the 1970’s…pretty good to live in??” You’re having a laugh, aren’t you?
I was born in early 1950’s, so remember the 70’s well. 3 day weeks, “winter of discontent,” strikes, rubbish piled high on the streets, bodies unburied for months…if you call all that “pretty good,” you have a strange definition of the term.
Btw, I emigrated in the mid-1970’s because things were so dire. Never looked back.
@@trollmeistergeneral3467 Okay, i was only guessing. I was thinking the music was good & it was before the country was swamped by third world immigrants, so that's where I was coming from.
Steve your place in music history is secure. Rest in Peace.
One of the best songs of the 70's in my humble opinion.
And mine.
yes
Agreed!
Agreed
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.
Yes ,you are so true! 70s were wonderfull. The song reminds me of my first trip to London. It was the place to go if you was a Mod.
Greetings from Germany
The best decade!!!! ❤
🥲
Quite simply, one of the greatest songs of ANY decade. Thank you for giving us this gem Steve. RIP mate.
RIP Part of my life growing up,loved all his music,very talented.

This is one of the greatest songs ever written. For my taste, the greatest song ever. Sorry for my english. R.I.P. Steve.
Spent a fortune on juke boxes playing this every night. Loved it then and love it now. The guy was so cool I just wanted to be him. Gone but will never be forgotten. RIP Steve
So very sad to hear that Steve Harley is no longer with us. I love this song so much because it takes me right back to some of the happiest times of my life. I love everything about this video, the song, the platform boots, the bags and Steve's stunning outfit which I still say is one of my favourites of all time. RIP Steve, hearing this song always makes me smile and I hope you're smiling now too. 🙏❤
Beautifully put - I'll second that...😢

"Forever Young" RIP Steve, the Angels asked " come up and see me Make Me Smile. Thank you for a lifetime of Joy.

His clothes are so elegant. I was 25 years old when this was released. Teaching in Basingstoke. What a god awful place. Can't believe I lived there for four years!
RIP Steve, and thank you for this fabulous, timeless song. Loved watching this video - how to be cool without even trying 😊👌

May have been the thing that took me out of depression in exam week and helped me row in the math test.
Pretty crucial actually, would have dropped out of studies if I had not made it.
Indeed, thanks for the song Steve!
Steve Harley - he was cooler than a Siberian cucumber - not many could get away with chewing gum and singing but he had style !
Can't get away from the impression Harley deliberately donned the bowler hat to make him look like the Clockwork Orange dude. He said of the Wedding Present cover, his favorite, "those guys understood the venom in the song". Have to check them lyrics again !
Do the droogs chew gum in the Kubrick movie ?
Höre es schon seit fast 50 Jahren und verbinde es mit einer wunderbaren Jugend. Zeitlos schön❤
Thank you for being a big part of my music life, time for you to rest in peace....
What a great bass player George Ford was. Always looked like he was enjoying himself. Even played with The Shadows.
His brother was emile ford who with his band the checkmates got to number one in the uk with WHAT DO WANT TO MAKE THISE EYES AT ME FOR ,, r.i.p George and Steve .
Also did a long stint w/ Al Stewart concurrent w/ his Harley gig: Year of the Cat, Modern Times, Past Present & Future. Great bassist indeed!
Underrated folk, those guys handling the bottom of the register. Without Entwistle, there wouldn't have been a Who
Never get tired of this song!
Love it love it love it ❤❤❤
Steve Harley is so Cool 💖
Wearing a full length coat and chewing gum whilst singing- Uber cool
What a stunning track. I return to it each and every time I am searching for help. Steve was a good friend of my older brother so I met him a few times back in the day. As we say "this fella is, and always been propa". Love to you Steve x
RIP Steve, you were such a big part of my best years. Thanks for the great memories.
Still sounds great, 47 years later!!!!!
Such a vibe. Rest in peace sir ❤️

RIP Steve
Amazing…. I didn’t realise they had bluetooth wireless electric guitars, basses, keyboards and microphones and invisible female backing singers in the 1970s….. so ahead of the game.
Who cares? The music speaks for itself.
Cockney Rebel ❤
Rest in Peace, since i heard he died age 73, think not i do what they want. Hardly, newspaper business and files enough to continue, a bit Cockney yeahhh. These genius folks here in South East North Brabant, les Pays Bah, well now should be clear by now. Great song, thanks so Far Non Fiction with a Smile, of course Flowers 🎉

Reminds me of Southampton ice rink and Brian in 1975, and will always love this. Happy times.
Great great song, I was very young when it came out but I knew it was really good , and it was. Well done Steve, people like you made GBs reputation in music in those days.
R.I.P. Steve Harley
Keep making me smile ❤
One of the greatest pop songs ever written.
Jim Cregan was like a guitar legend to me. His playing was always sweet as a nut.
The best use of syncopation in any pop song !
the keyboard?
R. I. P. 😢
fantastic!! song and a mesmerising performer.. took my partner to see him last year in belfast. A CLASS ACT.🎸🎤🎧🎻 THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES.☮
RIP Steve Harley. One of my favorite songs from 1975.
It’s hard to process that his generation of artists is slowly dying out. RIP Eric Carmen and RIP Karl Wallinger too.
Best song ever❤
Legend of a song
Godspeed Steve 🙏 🙏
You Really did Make Us All SMILE 😃 😊
17/3/24 RIP Steve Harley.
I was just 17 at the time. A decade of great music and songs.
Wot A Guy ..... 😋
Wot A Band 👊
Wot Brilliant Muzik 🎼🎵🎶
Thank You 😀
First single I ever had. Great!
A memory of my childhood days in the UK from Rome Italy.
This song is so cool. Just love it.
From a time period when artist seeked to be originals, develop their own unique style. Steve Harley did all that with charm. intelligence and slightly black comedy and surrealism. One of my fav artists of the 70s! His music is still strong for me, still a very personal expression. Big respect Steve. Big respect. R.I.P.
