OMG, Wesley McGoogan on sax.. just quality. Regards from UK

listened in the 80s, still listen to it, you cant stop talent

Hazel is currently recovering from a brain bleed she suffered a few months ago, she had just recently done a collaboration with one of my favourite bands 'Ferocious Dog' with Dan Booth and his violin taking the place of the sax ...We all wish her a full and speedy recovery

I still can't hear this song without emotion. I remember hearing this in the winter of 1981 and this song alongside "If Only" from the same album have stayed with me ever since. And that sax solo by Wesley Magoogan must surely be one of the best sax solos of all time?

One of the greatest songs ever recorded, these two are nuts!!

This is why music is so important. It touches your heart. I'm 58 and I saw this film film at a Cinema in 1980 aged 16 you never forget this beautiful song 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤love yer darlings

Breathtakingly beautiful. Stunning sound of the Saxophone is so mesmerising

Saw Hazel many times during the 80's...she's not well at the moment , so wishing her a continued speedy recovery 💕🎶

A fab song, this song was in the movie Breaking Glass in 1980 a joy to watch.

Whenever I hear this song it sends shivers through me and brings tears to my eyes 💕

Ah love this song- takes me back to my teen years...thanks for doing this one guys!

This song always brings a tear to my eyes. It also helps that the saxophone solo is frelling amazing. It’s a song about a sad time, and it shows.

One of my all time favs, beautiful sax playing

A most magnificent song 🧡🇬🇧

This is one of my all time favourite romantic songs. And I just love the sax solo to the end. It's so beautiful but still alternative enough to be uniquely different. If the woman of my dreams isn't impressed by this on my mix tape of romance then she's probably not the woman of my dreams anymore 🤣 Another great and almost companion piece to follow this is Stay With Me Til Dawn by Judie Tzuke from 1979. Another woman who had one big hit even though she continues to this day writing and performing new music. It's very beautiful. I highly recommend you listen to it.

This was our wedding song in May 2004, then when my husband passed away suddenly in January 2023 it was also one of his funeral songs in February 2023 ... This song is an emotional rollercoaster for me, but whichever part of my married life I am thinking about - it always makes me think of my wonderful hubby 💗💔❤

the sax is just wow remember when it came out but cant remember the film

This song is stunning, and captures perfectly the sense of 'should we, shouldn't we' uncertainty. Hazel was an extremely talented songwriter (and you were right about her being 'artsy') though this song isn't exactly typical of her usually more upbeat style - you should listen to 'Eighth Day' or maybe 'D-Days' to get the balance.

I think if you are lucky in your life you have a transcendent moment, and this was Wesley Magoogan's on saxophone. His career was literally cut short in unfortunate circumstances. Hazel O'Connor was an actress more than a singer, similar to Julie Covington, who originated the role of Evita, in that regard, never quite able to sit easily in the mainstream.

This is and always will be a masterpiece. You should watch the film Breaking Glass to understand more. Even so,I love Hazel and the music will go on forever ❤ never age.

I must have heard this amazing song several thousands of times over the years since the early 80s, and each time it is chills and shivers. Another song that does a similar thing is "Read All About It" by Emeli Sande.

Sadly Hazel isn't very well right now but she is an amazing artist. I would recommend 8th day!

Great song from a great album - from a great film-from a great singer.... Love from England ❤

The dreamiest sax solo ever 🎷🎷

Hazel O'Connor is a British New Wave singer. In 1980, she was the star of a British New Wave music film, "Breaking Glass". I remember watching this film on HBO, and I never saw the world the same way again. I was a teenager when the film came out, and it changed my whole view on life, America, and the world. Anyone who wants to have a better understanding of the political and cultural environment in the UK during the "New Wave Era" MUST watch "Breaking Glass". Some notes: "Will You?" was part of the "Breaking Glass" Soundtrack Album. In 1980, Duran Duran was the opening act for Hazel O'Connor's 1980 US Tour.

Played this song over and over and over love the sax sorry to hear about Hazels problems wishing her 💔 and thanks for musically being in my life.

This reached no 1 in uk if I remember correctly. And who said Punks could not sing! Thanks for the video. Love the show.

Thank You, WOW what a song. Wesley M what an artist with that amazing Sax.

She was the partner of the lead singer/guitarist of the Stranglers, Hugh Cornwell and also recorded and had a hit with the Stranglers Song "Hanging Around"

Hazel's brother Neil was in a band called the FLYS. Check out these 77-80 classics: love & a Molotov Cocktail Waikiki beach refugees we don't mind the rave 16 down

You're choosing a lot of very good British music from a great period 👏

Loved this when it was released, went to see the film she was in early 80's

This is one of my favourite songs of all time.

The whole Breaking Glass album is awesome. Probably in my top 10 albums of all time.

This song is is so bitter/sweet, loved the song at primary skool (sweet) and then at high skool the lyrics filtered through (bitter!)❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (I've subbed you as you did this and Ghost Town!)🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇸

A stone cold classic.

Eighth Day is a nice contrast and a great song.

@Hanier Hazel O'connor, Toyah wer all in big in uk bak in the 80's

Best wishes Hazel…. coffee or tea - from Oxford x x

Hazel O'Connor was quite well known singer/actor this side of the Atlantic never recognized as she should have this song was from her film breaking glass 19881

Hazel O'Connor an actress and singer/songwriter who starred in a film called "Breaking Glass" which she also wrote the songs for, I used to play the soundtrack album of the film quite loud annoying my parents! There's so many great tracks on the album including "Eighth Day" - I guess because of her background she does have a bit of a theatrical delivery. Interestingly at the same time there was another actress singer/songwriter who ultimately made an impact in the UK and Europe - Toyah Willcox who fronted a bank called Toyah. Hazel was going to appear with Toyah on a 1980s revival tour, but earlier this year Hazel collapsed at her home in France from what later determined to brain haemorrhage, unfortunately she's still in a very poorly condition, I hope that she's able to make a recovery.

A beautiful track, saxophone is special 🎼🎵🎵🎶🎶❤️

To appreciate this piece one must also see the film "Breaking glass" - a tale of success wrapped in sorrow and pain. I must go back and watch it again. To me it's not a song that is repeated by a sax solo, it's very much part of the track to add "power" and emotion to what was a very emotional film. Nice to see it being reacted to though, many years after it's release.

I remember watching the film it was a bit dark but I fell in love with this song.

One of these songs that always appears on my playlists.

A Coventry girl and I've met her a few times, she is very down to Earth and a genuinely delightful person. One time I saw her do this song with just a harp as accompaniment - still great even without the sax solo. Hoping she gets better soon and back singing.

Cynthia we can always tell when a song touches your soul. Like this song did. I saw Hazel live and the support band was Duran Duran

My feelings on this song is obviously it's about a relationship and the saxophone at the end is the sex at the end.

One of the finest Sax solos of any record. Wes McGoogan was a master. There are a few people on YT that try to do a tutorial for this but it's very very hard to play as the breathing's all over the place.

I'm going to throw a really great British rock band into the mix. Check out Thunder ; Don't wait for me ( live Donnington 1990 ) exquisite!

Great singer and the film Breaking Glass was pretty good too. Phil Daniels was great in the film too and does the narrative on Parklife by Blur.

It's a song from a film called breaking glass a punk vibe

Mrs Hanier realised she was listening to one of the greatest saxophone solo's ever recorded, Mr. Hanier not so much !

It’s a classic with the sax in a song!!!

top ten uk and ireland , quarter of a million in sales , best sax solo ever .

Will You and Baker Street are up there for the Sax

I love Hazel O'Connor. Even if you don't get the true meaning straight away, it becomes clear later. Maybe you would consider Hazel, singing Monsters in disguise, and Black man.

Oh that voice & sax!

Nothing you say ,,but what a great song

Surprisingly Luke warm reaction from the panel, for one of my all time favourite songs. But that's ok, if they gushed about every tune it might get a bit predictable. Personally, i love it(the song). So much so, that when my time comes, it will be on my final song list. Guess i will tell my survivors not to invite " The Hanier Family " !

This is a song not for the head. It’s for the heart. ❤ (…….35 years, 3 amazing children, until death do us part. Amen. Just sharing!)

I love how you glance at each other, wondering how to react. I see little emotion, play something that fires you both.

the sax leaves us to think about it ...truly a great song YNWA

Intriguing you didn't know this before, and interesting comparison to Kate Bush and Cyndi Lauper. While she's closer in age to Lauper, she debuted around the same time as Bush or soon after, a few years before Lauper. What may have kept her a bit hidden from the local American market is that like Bush, she hails from Britain... unlike Lauper who came out of Brooklyn, but while Bush's music was unique and theatrical she was a little more mainstream and conventional, while O'Connor was very much more on the edge of the new wave / alternative genre, almost dipping into British punk rock - listen to another hit of hers off the same album, On The Eighth Day. As for the song "Will You", in circles where British pop was big, this was a super huge romantic makeout song in the early 80s. Just hearing the song takes me back 40 years, with all the great memories that go along with that. Thanks for sharing.

That sure is some baby making saxophone music right there😂😂😂

Nothing without the original Breaking Glass video.

Marvellous

Great reaction guys , I'm going back home to let my friends know about your channel 👍✌️

Wesley Magoogan, playing one of the three best sax solos ever. The other two are both by Raphael Ravenscroft, the sax lick from Gerry Rafferty's, Baker Street and the sax solo on Pink Floyd's, The Gunners Dream, from the Final Cut, album.

Some suggestions from way back when.. Red Letter Day by Fox. Light Flight by Pentangle. Living in the past by Jethro Tull.

The best saxophone solo ever, we don't need the opinions of Dom Deluise and Olive Oil

Wot a women come bk soon hazel watched break-in glass odeon brun fell in love with that women west midlands legend

Play Butterfly Collector by the Jam my favourite song by them

watch the whole film ' Breaking Glass' youll understand, its an iconic movie of itstime

Her biggest hit was a song called Eight day.

You Two sound like your reading instruction of how to use a paint brush instead of listening to one of the greatest songs written its a song about two people whos going to make the first move most of us have been there in that awkward situation as teenagers ...the saxophone is sublime off the charts the best recording ever 😮

The saxophone...... ❤️

I enjoyed watching your reactions to this most beautiful song, but I feel perhaps it might have been better if you'd not been reading the lyrics as it was playing, instead letting the song unfold for you as it most likely did for most of us the first time we heard it. That said, it was interesting to watch your differing reactions to certain lines that appear to have starting you thinking. Thing is, this remains an important, timeless song as although the lyrics are genderless and non-specific regarding sexuality, it nonetheless appears to represent perfectly the late teenage awkwardness of desire from a female perspective - at least it does for me. It certainly sets us thinking. Did we stay? Or did we leave?

Hazel was outstanding back in the day. 'Will you' takes a bit of listening to if you've not heard her before. Try 8th Day....

Surprisingly it never reached the malls of suburbia.

Hazel and Toyah were around at the same time, Hazel was more punk sounding (besides this song) while Toyah was more mainstream pop and had a larger following

Baker Street Gerry rafferty

sad that all can be said (about the fabulous incredible sax playing section) is that is the same as the first half but without the her singing???!!!

There are no uninteresting things, only uninterested people. They need to get a life.

The lady really got into the song the man look bored he doesn’t really look like a music guy..

how sad that you stopped the track half way through just before the sax solo and its mesmerizing notes ,you should listen with your ears not your eyes ....i can see you following the words on the screen!!

have these two been living in a cave for the last 20 yrs

Kate Bush, Cyndy Lauper? Sorry, it is here the sax, not the singer. Can't you hear the voice in the sax?

Worst... Reaction... Video.... EVER....
