OK So let's all just admit the Talent that came out of the 1970's will never be surpassed, I am always thankful for being born in the 50's and rocked all through the 3 decades + That provided the soundtrack of my life!
The story of my life , failed marriages , relationships . Have been single for over 20 years , nobody to please but me and mine . I gave it all away and I love this tune so much . An underrated classic from an underrated arttist . God bless Roger Daltrey and The Who.......
Respect bro. I'm in a 1 bedroom flat after leaving my wife of 12years. I'm a recovering heroin addict of 19 years & I couldn't be happier behind my door. Only me to please & see my sons on the weekend...finally at peace with life. Peace out
When I first heard this song I knew it was the unfolding story of my life. I knew also that " knowing better now" would stay away from me for a very long time and that the path would be very painful. Now, when I listen to this song, I find it impossible to hold back my many tears.
One of my all time favourite songs. Brilliant composition by Leo Sayer, but Roger Daltrey's delivery is outstanding, and he's rather gorgeous too. So many happy memories of teenage years listening to this !!
Much love and thanks dear fan for all your love and support towards my career, I'm truly blown away with the love i get from fans like you around the globe for which I will forever be grateful , where are you streaming from??
my mom taught me The Who when I was a little girl, Roger Daltrey always caught my attention because of his way of singing. now I love those songs, the way he sings and is my rock crush. ❤️
Heard it a few minutes ago on Johnny Walkers R2 programme, Sunday afternoon. I switched across from R4 for an hour while the Victorian melodrama finished and this was on, followed by Slade. Might have to start listening in.
Found this without really looking for it. Had such a strong flashback to when I was kid. I probably haven't heard this since it was in the charts. Beautiful.
Hard Life/ Giving it all Away easily Roger's finest solo moments along with McVicar soundtrack. Great live studio cut. One wonders if Who had disbanded early on how Roger would have progressed. The subtleties & conviction in his voice lent themselves well to the singer/ songwriter market of the 70's.
@@davanmani556 Yes, that's the problem. He says in his autobiography he had to keep touring. Townsend wanted to stop and concentrate on various projects, but Daltrey's income came from performing. Is it about confidence or ability? Not everyone can write and score a song, Townsend is a master. Noddy Holder says his income from Slade is still songwriting credits and Dave Hill and Don Powell still tour as Slade because they'd have no other income. Merry Xmas Everybody makes Noddy and Jim £60, 000 a year royalties even today.
I’m 45 today love my rap n hip hop. I think this is my favourite song in the world. Deffo playing at my funeral to make everyone think about my mad life!

Was listening to who and Daltrey songs then I heard this, I had only ever remembered the Leo sayer version that I loved, but Daltrey takes it to another level 🙏
Seeing him with a guitar is like seeing Freddie Mercury or Cliff Richard with a guitar. They know how to play, but they never needed to, having a guitar legend in their band.
My heart is feed with joy and happiness, I'm truly blessed with the most amazing fans around the globe, I really appreciate all the likes and cIomments of wonderful compliments, How long have you been listening to my songs??
Leo Sayer wrote this gorgeous 🎉song, it sounds even better now in 2024. Uk 🇬🇧
Great album Daltrey … every song masterful

That provided the soundtrack of my life!
Yes
I've just come down to the comments to say the very same thing. What a great time to be a kid.
OMG, how fast time has passed. I heard this song on a tube radio in my nursery when I was a boy. That was 50 years ago now...

A song that takes me back to being 17. I was just a boy who didn't want to be.

@@floydfan7511 good luck stay safe + happy :)
@@floydfan7511 be safe dude all the best from glastonbury
been there done that and got the t shirt, and gave a complete stranger £7000, i know, what an idiot but that's me, and im still on my own
I think Rog was at the height of his powers in '73. Quadrophenia really showcased this. No better vocals than on that album.
I agree..IMO the guys were at the TOP of their game. Even Pete’s lyrics. Quadrophenia was just incredible.

The amazing Roger Daltrey, you can tell he means it when he sings, he looks so happy to perform

I prefer Sayer's version.

The man can sing, love this song.
a fantastic song. Roger is such a powerful vocalist.
Mike G listen to 'Proud', fantastic song.
Leo sayer song
@@carlwakefield889 , Leo would cover this song some time later.
@@grahampearson5670 it's a Leo song???
@@carlwakefield889 I just read that in wiki.....the Leo Sayer of "you make me feel like dancin'" .....who knew??
I love this song 70s memories ❤. Beautifully presented 🎁 UK 🇬🇧
my mom taught me The Who when I was a little girl, Roger Daltrey always caught my attention because of his way of singing. now I love those songs, the way he sings and is my rock crush. ❤️
mine, too
Brilliant song written by Leo Sayer. Love it ♥️
Now I didn't know that. But now you mention it I can hear him singing this.
Leo wrote this song with help from Dave Courtney for Roger. Leo would do a version of Giving It All Away a bit later on.
Hello
Dedicating this to a good friend of mine who sadly passed away today, R.I.P. PETE, will miss your happy smiling face kid.
We'll all meet again one day friend..
This song got some pretty good radio play from the late 70's to the early 80's....to bad it isn't heard anymore.....great song.
Heard it a few minutes ago on Johnny Walkers R2 programme, Sunday afternoon. I switched across from R4 for an hour while the Victorian melodrama finished and this was on, followed by Slade. Might have to start listening in.
Johnny Walker Radio 2 on Sunday often plays this ♥️
He's playing it live now and sounding better than ever!
@@bellerophonchallen8861Roger Daltrey and Slade? I’d have that radio station on every morning lol!
Played at my mates funeral, great song 🎵 🎶 👏
sums me up...would like it played at mine.
His voice at 1.39 on just sends shivers down my spine. No lip syncing here folks.
Daz Goodwin Class .
It's just...godlike. Power and sincerity.
Or Autotune
Pure beauty.....I could listen for hours
Probably my fav song ever!
Such a brilliant singer and powerful vocalist. But he also embodies the song so well with his emotion - a very rare talent indeed,
As good today as it ever was
What a voice. 👌
Simply a superb vocal
Greatest voice in Rock!! And one cool grampa!!
Thank God I found this 😭 So in love with Roger's powerful voice and beautiful smile ❤️ And Towntrey is in my heart forever as well 😂
Who is Townrtey? Sounds like Townrtey is a geezer we should know about in more detail x
@@pinkfloyd8361 it’s a pairing from the fanfiction world, Townshend + Daltrey = Towntrey 😁 Your comment made my day 😂😭
A rock n roll voice that can sing a beautiful song
Roget Daltrey...F""'''g brilliant!
Found this without really looking for it. Had such a strong flashback to when I was kid. I probably haven't heard this since it was in the charts. Beautiful.
I like Daltrey's solo songs like this one.
Russel Campbell Leo sayer wrote it for him
They just don't write them like this anymore - magnificent song and performance !!
*Caramba!*
*Ouvi tanto Roger a solo, e com os Who!*
*Viajo para a minha adolescência, ao ouvir isto.*
beautiful, just beautiful, sang by a true legend
Daltry's voice is just about the best of the best unbelievable !!!
Daltrey 🙂
Close your eyes and just listen......breathtaking........

But Roger didn’t have the confidence to write his own songs. He needed Pete.

Respect, Roger.You are a legend

Just fantastic
Bob Henrit on Drums and Russ Ballard on Guitar, both from ARGENT !!!
Brilliant song means a lot to me when I was a 19yr old soldier in 1973.
Wow! Goosebumps watching and listening to this song! Amazing...
power, soul, authenticity, guts. can't wait to read his book...
Loved this back in middle and high school.
