A fantastic song from a very underrated album. Not sure Epic knew how to market this album. The paper bag thing was a joke. But in the end, I don’t think they could ever escape their past. From a pop band to a solid rock band.
Duncan was with South African band “Rabbitt” prior to joining “The Rollers.” He also wrote a song(s?) for Madonna’s film “Who’s That Girl.” Trevor Rabin, who was also in Rabbitt went on to sing and write for British band “Yes,” ( big hit with “Owner of A Lonely Heart,” as well as doing scores for soundtracks). I am glad that Stuart “Woody” Wood is still rock in’ with his current BCR line up. I think he was the most “well adjusted “ member of the band💖💖💖🎶🎶
This was written by Eric. Most of the Ricochet album is written or co written by Eric. Also, most of the Voz and Elevator albums. The highest rated Rollers albums... all with Eric in charge. He is the quiet genius of the group .. always was .
@@larobinson9145 You would never guess it from that video...considering all the goofy costumes he wears in it. But you are right, he always was the genius member of the group.
@@Mellissandria look back at some of their best stuff... Shanghaid in Love.... You're a Woman... Labelle Jeane... Money Honey ... All by Faulkner. Eric actually has a catalog of about 85 songs, as he said in a 90s interview. His look was also ahead of its time . look up "Ballad of the Rollers" on you tube. It's a Dylan esque folk song. Eric can write in any genre.
This is still my favorite BCR song along with being one of the top 5 of all songs I love. Rock on Rollers!! RIP Alan Longmuir-another kind soul that went to the light recently. You will be missed! Being right handed myself I never knew how Alan could play guitar left handed...a very talented man, yes.
I'm not sure if you can technically call it a BCR single..🙂 By this time, they shortened the name to just 'The Rollers' and they had brought in a new singer from S. Africa who also helped co-write all the songs.
For anyone interested...Here's the lyrics from the Ricochet CD liner notes: Life on the radio, Any time at all you call me Live on the radio, If you're falling down just call me Life on the radio Life, Radio Cry with the radio, Find a way to hide your sorrows Dream on the radio, Let it wait until tomorrow Life, Radio I'm FM, I'm AM, I'm AOR tuning in on you On radio, on radio, tuning in on you Burn on the radio, Dedicate alone forever Turn on the radio, We could tune away together Life on the radio Life, Radio I'm FM, I'm AM, I'm AOR tuning in on you On radio, on radio, tuning in on you Love the BCR/The Rollers...esp. Eric🥰 Love the "no pants" look; still hot as ever even today--adore his blue eyes (even though this is B&W!). Still hope I can meet him someday. RIP to Alan, Ian, and Leslie...
These guys always tried to make things fun even when things didn't go as planned. It's tragic the way they were all treated! May Tam Patton enjoy hell!
Just love this video vocal between Eric and Duncan amazing . Best video in whole world from ricochet album . Best album the Rollers ever recorded . I just love it so much.

This is my favorite Rollers period. They are a bit older; Tam Paton (thank god ) is gone. Duncan adds a new element . Eric is writing interesting melodies . Woody Alan and Derek all look sooo much happier. :-)
I love how Derek got into the drum line toward the end. I've never seen him play in marching band style. He looked quite skinny in this video, which was not typical for him. Stress before the break-up?
Every fan who was a fan got the lps. That is all I know of this Duncan period. The fan club was still open and the teen mags were still publishing on them. And those who loved the other four remained steadfastly following on them. Thru the decades ahead. And when Eric came back in the early eighties , those same fans went to see them across the globe. As did the Les fans for him, and those who kept with him. Solo and with his BCR band line ups.
My most favorite song has not been released for a long time. Thank you for coming up. thank you very much. When CG images were not mainstream yet. It is interesting that the chorus trio is a replacement ball. Do you know there are other things?
I didn't like this, especially with Eric running around without any pants on. For me, they'll always be number one when Les was with them, that's for sure
He left after less than a year, then there was Pat McGlynn, who lasted even less time. Then, Les left, Alan came back, and they hired Duncan as a new lead singer.
Ian Mitchell is still around, in California. Duncan is in Las Vegas, NV with me. He and Ian are good friends. Ian did leave BCRs dues to fear of the danger that fans would put them in, hint the limo incident. Pat was actually fired (got that from Eric) and Les was actually fired too but at the time management didn't want that known.
@@fireballproductions4110 Pat never looked happy in any of the videos or interviews I saw. Not sure why. But I read he ended up not being a good fit for the group. I don't know what true or false. There are so many comments on YT good and bad about the rollers and different things with them. I'm not familiar with the albums around the time of Duncan joining but I know Eric wrote most of the songs. Plus he wrote a bunch when Les was there too. Eric was and is very talented.
@@allisonbergeron1929 yeah Pat Never did look happy did he? As for Eric writing most of the songs not really so. He wrote a few but then when they had Duncan who wrote a lot of their songs on the three albums they did with him. Two of the songs on Elevator were songs that Duncan wrote when he was in Rabbitt. The Rabbitt album called Rock Rabbitt has all songs written by Duncan and it's a good album. Eric did write Money Honey which was on the album The Game. However I found out that the song Hello and Welcome Home was written by Duncan when he was in Rabbitt then redone on The Elevator album with Eric changing the arrangement. Unfortunately though Eric got credit for writing the song also on the Elevator album. Also Duncan wrote mist of the On The Radio song as well as some of the other BCR songs with Duncan as the singer

Best music video
Sadly nostalgic
Rollers is a great band
こんなビデオがあるとは初めて知りました。凝っていてコミカルで楽しい。楽曲も素晴らしい。

This should have been a huge hit, Duncan's time in the band is vastly underrated.

Amazing bagpipes

It is genius. Critics rated RICOCHET very highly.
Naw...Les was the best frontman
@@ladylyrichere9373 Duncan was most talentend, songwriter, play guitar. Les has a weak voice and didn't composed songs.
Richochet was Duncans best work
Beautiful faure
Perfect.. .
Love this song, & Eric looking as handsome as ever ❤❤
im 52 and lkoved bay city rollers but only discovered these cds reissues a few years ago.love the three rollers cds .they deserved a dozen more hits .
Pantless Eric at 1:43. Woody looks like Jim Nabors with his hair slicked back.

This was a cute video. Love the rollers.

This record - as I remember - was released under the name 'The Rollers' and not their full, original name..!
This is my favorite Rollers period.
They are a bit older;
Tam Paton (thank god ) is gone. Duncan adds a new element .
Eric is writing interesting melodies .
Woody Alan and Derek all look sooo much happier. :-)
Despite Les been a great singer and front man,he must have been hard to work with, one massive ego and all the booze and drugs too...
I love how Derek got into the drum line toward the end. I've never seen him play in marching band style. He looked quite skinny in this video, which was not typical for him. Stress before the break-up?
Great band! Great song! BCR always!
I wasn't a big BCR fan but I loved this tune. Makes me want to go back to the 80's when life was fun, easy & full of great music.
Loved Elevator but wasn't as crazy about Voxx and Ricochet with this great track being an exception... I think this could have been a hit.
You can't replace Les,period;
Love all their albums, including the ones with Duncan. They should have continued to be successful with their new music. Such a shame...
Every fan who was a fan got the lps. That is all I know of this Duncan period. The fan club was still open and the teen mags were still publishing on them. And those who loved the other four remained steadfastly following on them. Thru the decades ahead. And when Eric came back in the early eighties , those same fans went to see them across the globe.

My most favorite song has not been released for a long time.
Thank you for coming up. thank you very much.

It is interesting that the chorus trio is a replacement ball.
Do you know there are other things?
Great song, great video, definitely should have been a hit. Similarities to Radio Gaga (Queen) with added bagpipes!
💘❣❣💘💖
Eric and Duncan were a great writing team...great period for the band
me too !!
At their creative best during the Ricochet album.
Bought the single in 1981.
Merida!
Wow. I've never seen this. I love the bagpipes at the end. I love Eric but what's with the no pants? Or undies?????
the bagpipes gave me life
I don't know, but I'll take it, lol!
Yes Alison,what's that got to do with the song.he looks a bit out of it.shows he wasn't happy,poor eric.
Ok the girl Eric is dating is featured here,love this song and a lot more the Duncan sang lead in.
Miss Alan so sad and Leslie too heartbreaking
I miss Ian also...RIP to all of them.
They is 70 cuz
I like it even though it's the rollers
go, scottish!
Is Woody smoking in this video??
If you like this check out Culpeper's Orchard. You are welcome 😊
I didn't like this, especially with Eric running around without any pants on. For me, they'll always be number one when Les was with them, that's for sure
where's ian mitchell?
