I know he'd just turned 62, but in my mind's eye, I'll always see him just like this-beautifully sweet-faced and looking just like an angel. Sweet Ian-RIP!!
@@christinacrowley3631 me too. I used to lay on my bed & cry to this when Ian left the group. I was lucky enough to meet him in 2007, & 2008. He was a sweetheart. I had a stack of things for him to sign including a Rosetta Stone album. He called me love and kissed my cheek! I felt like I was 12 again! RIP Ian. You are greatly missed & always will be. 💘 🌈
I know! And I think back to those days and, as a 10/11-year-old, he seemed so grown up! The professionalism and poise of ALL those young men is a testament to the talent and integrity that not many seemed to notice.
Shocked today, 2/9/2020, to learn of the passing of Ian Mitchell. Far too young at 62 years. May he fly high with the Angels. My thoughts are with his family.
Where did the years go? I was 12. I never would've imagined that one day I would end up sitting on my porch alone in the middle of the night, crying uncontrollably, because this beautiful man has passed away. Dear God, you took him too soon....why do those who are so special pass away too soon?
I remember the Rollers performing this song live in Atlanta in 1976, and it gave me goosebumps then. Ian had that sweet Irish voice. If I remember correctly, people actually stopped screaming to listen to him sing.
RIP Ian, Very sad to hear the news today. I adored you when you joined the Bay City Rollers. THANK YOU for the great memories. Very sad you are gone but Alan is waiting for you with open arms. Your in good hands now.
Although a 'classic' five devotee, this performance shows the excellence of Ian's input into the band and the same can be said for Pat. This is a very 'good looking' video; all the Rollers look extraordinarily handsome and are smilingly relaxed! How did they manage to find such musical talent combined with such stunning looks? But I guess that's what made the Rollers stand out from the crowd ---then and NOW. Thanks Janny. Regards, Jo.
I still can't believe this beautiful man is gone. I'll always remember how truly happy he looked when he was performing! I especially oved watching him during the later years, it was so obvious how much he enjoyed playing and singing!
Every so often, I come back to this video and just watch it. They just looked so happy and carefree. Hopefully they were. I just loved them so very much. I love their expressions in this video and everything about it. Wendy, if you ever come back here, give us a shout out.
Amen. As a 10 year old at the time I thought this young man was the most perfect human I’d ever seen. I love music. Thank you Ian and thank you Rollers again. For the absolute best times of my life.
The years have flown by for all of us. It is incredibly sad Ian is not here to enjoy his legacy. This song brings back happy memories of a young girls dream. Ian play on endlessly …
I give Ian so much credit . He walked into that roller coaster of a job, at age 17... Nailed this song perfectly... Acted with a lot of poise and dignity on TV ... No ego trips... Got out when it was too crazy . Very cool guy and talented .
I had forgotten what a great song this is and what a great singer ian mitchell was. So sad that he died so young. RIP ian, alan and les and thankyou for the precious memories💜
I always liked Ian's version better and still do. I remember buying their Greatest Hits and was disappointed they put Les' version on there instead of Ian's. Cheers TyT
I LOVED Ian's voice and he was my favourite! I loved all the BCR ... everyone of them so cute in his own way, but you always have faves! Was devastated when he left the band so soon, but loved them and always will!
My husband always blah blahs about the video quality on this one...but to me, it's perfect. I love the vibe with the rhythmic clapping and swaying, and sweet little Ian singing his heart out. I'm not sure we'll ever see this level of peace at a popular music event in today's world. RIP Ian, Les, and Alan. You will forevermore be missed. 💜
Awesome song Ian rest peace U always have a place in my heart love you and rollers big part in my life. Brought up on this when no one else's cared I would get though Life listening to them so sad lost Alan and Les too I will keep listening till I go thanks rollers fan forever 🥰🥰👍👍😍😍
Gawd - I had the biggest crush on Mitch. What a beautiful voice that baby boy had. An angelic voice to match his sweet angel of a face. I haven't heard this song in DECADES. I played this album to death. I think I still have it somewhere. Thanks for the bittersweet walk down memory lane. Love me my BCR. Got to see them in concert when I was 12! It was my first concert ever! ❤❤❤
I had completely forgotten about this gem of a song. My sister had some albums by these guys. She was 4 years older than me . The music she listened to back them was a big influence on me. I always loved this when I was 10 or 8 and it still sounds good and unique
Dear Ian Thank you for giving me such amazing memories. Your smile is like that of an angel's.I still can't believe you are not here any more....Rest in Peace💙
To think that Ian was only 17 when he joined the Rollers. Really - just a baby !! I was so, so, SO in love with him. I was 15 then ... and I just cried and cried to the point of hysteria when he left the band after only a few months. Being a Roller fan is one of my VERY few good memories of my teen years !
I was so in love with you Ian when I was young. And hearing you left us has broke my heart. I will always remember you as an important piece of my childhood. Love you Ian
@@ladylyrichere9373 I know. Unfortunately, I only learned of his death now, when I read about Les's death. It was a shock not to have known this before.
This will always be my favourite Bay CIty Roller song - with Ian on vocals. I was so disappointed when Ian left as it was just before the Bay City Rollers toured Australia. Poor Pat was so fresh on that tour. I had the opportunity to see Ian and Pat in Australia when the Bay City Rollers did the Breakout Tour in '88
I had the chance to meet Ian about 6 years ago or so in Phoenix AZ. He was performing at a club and sang Dedication. It was my birthday and it was so special. I'll never forget you ❤
I know he'd just turned 62, but in my mind's eye, I'll always see him just like this-beautifully sweet-faced and looking just like an angel. Sweet Ian-RIP!!

SUCH SUCH GREAT MEMORIES!
It’s crazy I read this, I was thinking of saying the exact same thing
私は16歳の時に17歳のイアンに一目見て好きになりました❗
なんて可愛い男の子
こんな子がいるんだってびっくりしました。
忘れもしない日本に来日寸前にイアンがロ-ラ-ズから脱退したんです。
凄いショックで学校に遅刻して行ったら友達の前で泣いてしまいました。
本当にイアン好きだった。
イアンがこの世界にもういないなんて！
今度生まれ変われたならイアンと同じ国に生まれてイアンの友達でもよいので会いたい❗
今でも好きです‼️

Me too. And now Les.
I was 12 also and Ian was my favorite!
I loved this group as a teen, almost 50 years ago. Ian was my favorite especially singing this song.
Loved this song. Miss those good ole days. To all of us 50 and 60 something's, remember the easy days. God bless all of us!
Ian this was your song and we will always remember you. RIP our cutie pie 😢
Ian,Thank you for your beautiful memory.
RIP.
RIP Ian Mitchell September 1st 2020. You won't be forgotten.
So sad, too young😥🙏

Hello Melissa
イアン・ミッチェルが亡くなっていたなんて・・昨日、レスが亡くなったと聞き、初めて知りました💧
イアンが歌う、このDedicationの切なさに引き込まれて、友達たちとBCRにはまっていたあの時。
今は違う意味で、切ないです💧
いくにはまだ早すぎるよ・・イアン、レスリー。
どうか安らかに。。切なく悲しいけど・・素晴らしいMusicを思い出をありがとう❤
Rest In Peace Ian Mitchell ...fabulous memories 🍀💚😭🎶🎸🍀🍀💚💚💚💚💚💐
Hello Bernie
Ian, you will be missed. RIP.
当時イアンがボーカルのこの曲を何度も何度も繰り返し聞いていた。今イアンの歌う姿が見れるなんて幸せ！
外国の方ばかりのコメントの中で日本語のコメントを見付け、嬉しくなりコメント入れさせて頂きます。私もイアンのボーカルのこの曲をカセットテープがすり減るまで、何百回聴いた事でしょう。若くしてお亡くなりになり、惜しいと思ってた所に、レスリーも亡くなったとの事。本当に悲しく、寂しくなりました。
そのイアンの唄声ももう聴けないと思うと悲しくて‥
Rest In Peace, Ian. You’ll live forever in our hearts. 🙏💔
RIP Ian, Allan and Les 😢
Watching with sadness, RIP Ian
my heart is broken. RIP Ian. i love you so much. fly high
Always loved Ian on lead vocals for this song
兄貴が聞いていて大好きになりました。
青春の思い出ずっと忘れません！
ありがとうございます✨
RIP Ian Mitchell. Long live our memories & dedication to you. 😥 ❤

hmmm ians voice and face fitted in well with the rollers, shame he didnt stay long

Ian was just soooooo beautiful !! Was totally obsessed with him.

I give Ian so much credit . He walked into that roller coaster of a job, at age 17... Nailed this song perfectly... Acted with a lot of poise and dignity on TV ... No ego trips... Got out when it was too crazy . Very cool guy and talented .
I am grateful he escaped. It was such a wise decision for such a young man.
Such a young man at the time.i am glad he escaped before it got too crazy.
❤️ Ian
@@pennyduncan6861 但離開了BCR，有點懷才不遇，否則他名氣應該更大，好可惜！

Missed very much
