Love Les's little facial comments and gestures during this song. "Turn but no one's there" (he turns around). "Your name in lights up in the stars" (he looks up). "your friends all drinking champagne from your hands" (makes like he's drinking, then holds his hand out) Tooooo adorable. LOVE these guys
I am a 43 year old Danish woman who was a big BCR fan when I was a teen. I got to meet Les and was the happiest girl until I saw him with his boyfriend John. It broke my poor teenage heart. Saw the BCR in concert about 15 years ago, where Les and Ian looked like a couple of old junkies. That was such a sad sight to see. But I still love the music and can still get the same feelings I got when I listend to once upon a star, you're a woman and all of the other great songs they did. Long live BCR
Ianandsyd, had to hear the story from the horses mouth as it were!, Not many illusions were shattered - he still has his fans and he was very brave to say what he did. : )
Dunno what it is about this song but it makes me feel happy everytime I hear it ... I now have it stuck in my head and find myself breaking out in song all over the place ...lol ... still, happy is a good thing ... thanks for posting :0)
Danielle: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this and the other videos you have posted. How did you GET them??? I am 46 and was sooooo in love with the Rollers when I was 14, 15. I loved all of them, but Ian was my favorite.Seeing these videos is just wonderful - it brings tears to my eyes! The guys are all just so adorable (hey - check out Eric's butt at 1:07-1:10 - wooooooo !!) All their music is wonderful and happy - better than most of the crap that's put out today.
Gosh how I loved Leslie. So many memories especially the one where I smacked my lips on to his and wouldn't let go of him. Imagine going to the disco and suddenly you turn around and there he is, the love of your life your idol and you can just grab him and kiss him. I tell you all, it was so wierd... a dream come true. Thanks for reminding me*S* with this video...
Still have the album, pull outs of all the band, loved woody the goofy one, still love the music, they are coming to Dublin,only Les left I think, dont care will still go for the music and memories
Hi Anne thanks for your reply.I know what you mean.We saw Les and his band at "Big in Falkirk" a couple of years ago.Still the same old magic !!.Love this track,been looking for it for ages.Those were the days eh? and I'm a guy lol.Loved seeing all the lassies in their tartan gear ! Is there a Rollers tribute band I wonder.All the best,Ian.
love it les facial gestures are great but boy is derek a cuttie. He still is even without hair he could take my blood presser any day wish that they would all come to the Unite States Ohio especally
Hey Ian, thanks for your reply, I've seen Les and the band a few times in wembley stadium and a couple of other places yes those were the days alright, there is a glamrock tribute band called Fab 208 who play 70s music including Rollers - dont know if there any others! best wishes Anne
Hej xxvampiresxx... I think in 1978. The day after I met Leslie again, I was chosen by a newpaper to go to the press conferrence. So I have this great foto og Leslie and me( gosh how often did I not dream) I took a lot of photos too. One of Leslie picking peanuts out of his teeth with a finger *lol* Shows that if you wish hard enough for something...wishes might come true... Did however also wait for Barnabas Collins the vampire to come bite me... but he never did*S*
@flyingfrenchfifer er, that shows a very shaky grasp of sexuality! Les admiited to being bisexual. I don't think Bolan did, Bowie only did as a publicity stunt, Elton has always been 100% gay (apart from the brief marriage when he had a thwarted ambition to be a father) and Gary Glitter is into underage girls. So I hardly think that constitutes them "all being the same".
Great music great band
Gorgeous guys. Wow, those were the years, loving the BCR's!!!! I wish for my youth again....great days
What can say we have lost two star's rest in peace Les and Alan thanks for your wonderful music guys this band always be star's in my eyes⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
RIP to Ian also...love them all!
I still have this album I got it for Christmas when I was 10
I'm 50 now but some things I just can't part with ... happy memories 😀😀
Me too Kath! I'm 52 now and feel like a teenager every time I watch a video of them!
I'm 56 and I still have all my roller albums , I will always be a fan !

very underrated song. one of my favorites in the BCR
Still listen to The Bay City Rollers today... Never will out Grow?. Love Derek

Great band 1970 s still have all the vinyl. Still playing them tunes to day
Love the bay City rollers thanks for music . Brought up on this music still listening and loving them 😍😍♥️♥️
I believe Eric wrote this song. It really has a pretty deep meaning to it.
Your right, eric wrote this song. He was and always will be a triple threat!
Though this video didn't show much of Eric he was such a gorgeous guy ever back then.
roughly more than 500 times of watching count could be mine
just love it
cheers mate

in answer to teesdale this was the title track of the rollers second album
Let's go
エリックラブ☆
RIP music
Les is happily married with a son! For the last 25 years!! Dont know where that story came from???
Hej xxvampiresxx... I think in 1978. The day after I met Leslie again, I was chosen by a newpaper to go to the press conferrence.

He is married now and has a son. But he had a boyfriend ind the 70's called John
Gina97xls, I agree about alan being sooo good looking!!!! when I watch these videos, he is the one who has my attention!!!1
Les actually swings both ways.He admitted in a newspaper article a couple of months ago.Sorry if I have shattered anyones illusions !!
that's actually quite funn. Ian is just soooooo not gay. I met his wife Wendy when she was here in England. She's a hunny.
a "bay city roller boy"? do you still have some pictures of you? put it on youtube!!
whoever disagreed with my comment I have proof look at the song Bye Bye Baby when Ians in it and they're old thats PROOF
@flyingfrenchfifer er, that shows a very shaky grasp of sexuality! Les admiited to being bisexual. I don't think Bolan did, Bowie only did as a publicity stunt, Elton has always been 100% gay (apart from the brief marriage when he had a thwarted ambition to be a father) and Gary Glitter is into underage girls. So I hardly think that constitutes them "all being the same".
