Loved this song in 1969, still love it in 2022!

My father bought me this when i was about seven years age from a second hand shop. I really got to like it and played it lots, on the first real record player i had.

This was their best song, in my opinion. Michael d'Abo had a phenomenal voice.

The 60s far better than the trash today.

This so feels like a British song...full of story and lyrics backed by simple riffs and back beat.

Who knew back then this song would become a great Bluegrass song!!

Brilliant memories 54 years ago where did it go such incredible talent in the 1960s best decade ever so difficult to get a no1 record in those days with all the acts around ❤

Still love this as much now as back then.

Can’t beat 60s tunes to get you singing along 🎶like a fox, like a fox 🦊

"She took all the love that her poor boy could give her" LOVE IT! ❤️

what a brilliant band they were so so many fantastic songs

All these years later the Manfreds still perform this brilliantly.

Another great song by the "Manfred Mann" Band alongside many others like "Ha Ha said the Clown" , "Mighty Quinn", "Pretty Flamingo" and so on. Melodies that go straight to the ear have been her trademarks. Well known, popular and loved until today. I grew up with this ! - Thanks for loading and thanks to KZfaq for possibility. -

I love everything about this song but it has to be one of the absolute best chorus of all time.

With the brilliant Klaus Voorman on bass (designer of The Beatles Revolver album artwork among many other wonderful pieces)

Oh how I absolutely love this song.

This is still one of my favourite songs

She walked through the corn leading down to the river Her hair shone like gold in the hot morning sun She took all the love that a poor boy could give her And left me to die like a fox on the run Like a fox on the run Everybody knows the reason for the fall When woman tempted man down in paradise's hall This woman tempted me, then took me for a ride But like the lonely fox I need a place to hide We'll pour a glass of wine to fortify our soul We'll talk about the world and friends we used to know I see a strange girl she'll put me on the floor The game is nearly over the hounds are at my door

These reminds me of singing these song while walking to school. That school was Our Lady of Lourdes in New Orleans at the corner of Napoleon Ave. and Freret St.

Bass player Klaus Voormann lives in my region. (Lake Starnberg. Upper Bavaria. Germany)

When music was music.

This will always be one of my favorite songs.

Manfred Mann had two U.K No.1 hits and 13 other top 10 hits during the between 1964-69.

Yeah this good old sixties what a time we had todays singers can not sing very sadly

What A Great Band !

An old favourite of mine! You can tell they were enjoying their performance too!

Fab song

Wonderful pop song

2023 for me. Another classic.

Someone tried to tell me once that the only song with the title 'Fox on the Run' was by Sweet. I wish KZfaq had been around then.

Such great late 60's pop......

Now if ever there was class - here it comes.

Damn, I loved this song and then I saw this video! The appeal of the cute half shyness is only raised by the random head whip to look into the camera! Lol. If only I was born thirty years earlier! 😜

Masterpiece!! I love ❤ it

Lovely time stunning girlfriend way out of my .league. bsa motorcycle /not a care in the world fantastic music! Fantastic time to be a teenager !

Underrated band!

Just WOW!🤩

Fantastic song. The camera men were having a laugh though 😂

Tom McGuinness a vastly underrated guitarist in my view

perfect pop-rock song

After Manfred Mann split in 1969. Manfred mann did chapter three and then Manfred Mann earth band while the other regroup into two offshoot Manfred mann blues band and Paul Jones and mike D'ado in the Manfred.

mike was a great replacement for paul he fitted nicely

anyone else absolutely love klaus or is that just me

Through fields of gold

Forgot to say best Manfred song

The song became a bluegrass standard when Bill Emerson covered it.

This is one hell of a song, beats the shit they hollar now.

That smile at 0.18 💖

Brill tune

Just woke up with this in my head, and was surprised when KZfaq told me it was by Sweet ???????????????????????????????

Great key change 👍 thought this was going to be the Sweet ...but earlier , what a find

Organ killing it

the manns single endings were often interesting as in fox on the run and my name is jack...a frustrated band mad to improvise.

Kind of funny that a song first recorded by an English Band best known for their Bob Dylan & Bruce Springsteen covers has become in turn an American Bluegrass Music Standard.

0:25 Sweet used a similar vocal bridge to their "Fox On The Run".

❤❤

That Klaus......the boy had the looks for certain....

Sophisticated pop, what has happened to the joy and innocence? Mike Hugg grossly under rated as a drummer and composer.

That must be a "Grand Hammond Piano" LOL HAAAA!

interesting seeing klaus voorman; it's known in the u.s. mostly as a bluegrass song.

AT the harmony workshop (most recent camp-pick in), Jimbo kindly provided this history, in part indicating the bridge in the original was quite different from the BG version we know. And here to hear. Thanks Harry; it's very interesting, but I'll still take the "straight" bluegrass version with my added vocal bass part.

mike d 'abo .

Klaus Voormann!!

99 million

Jones has way more presence than D'Abo, as I noted seeing the Manfreds last Autumn. D'Abo fits in perfectly with the group, and he is a distinguished songwriter in his own right.

This is such a magnificent song with incredible chorus vocals. I can't understand why the group itself dismissed this as crap as the time. Anyone know who sings what in the choruses.

I wonder if this influenced or inspired The Sweet? Particularly that bit that has a crescendo vocal cadence.

What bass is Klaus playing? Looks like a Jaguar with a bass neck?

While this is not a really good song by Manford man they were a very very good man

Can someone tell me who the guitarist with the glasses is. Wowwwwwwwwwww

Listen to ragamuffin Man

Vikings inside , rurik

With all that hair...... which one is Doyle?

Never could decide if I preferred Mike or Paul. I think for me Paul’s voice just won out - he seemed a bit more mischievous too!

It's 2024 and I still haven't decided if they've decided if they're a British or a Southern US band...

glen h friedmann it's not the same song ,but just the same title,

******************************

I preferred this version to the Sweet's

The Bluegrass version of this song sounds better

Dylanesque type copy. Again.

Russian fakes by not understanding

Shit

Pretty dismal compared to the bluegrass version.

Das war früher noch Musik anders als der Schrott heute das kommt nie wieder
