Back in the early 70s. I drove a truck for a corn and seed merchants in halesowen West midlands england. I had a delivery to a Mr.Roy wood. In kinver staffs. I never gave it another thought. When I got to the address on my delivery note. Nobody was home. So I walked round the back of the house. It's was called stourton hall.big massive house. And I looked through the French Windows. One big recording studio .Then the penny dropped. Mr .Roy wood. I went back a few weeks later and someone was home then. It was Roy himself. He said can you put the hay n feed over by the pen. He was sutch a nice chap and he gave me £5 . not much less than I was on a week. Well Roy I've spent my five pounds a long time ago. But I love your music and always have been a fan.

No miming no lipsink pure talent Mr Roy Wood what a voice,give him a knighthood

I can't believe that even though I was a teenager in Australia in the 70s I only discovered Roy Wood about two weeks ago and I'm freakin' hooked. What an amazing talent and totally underrated.

What a performance. The guy is in his mid 70s. Has the lungs of a 20 year old. Amazing voice. Just utterly brilliant. RESPECT!!!!

Roy Wood: fucking genius. Seriously underrated.

Takes a special talent to give me goosebumps! Roy I'm 63, I've loved your music so much since I was a spotty teen. Love you and thanks for the music and the memories. Xx

I was so happy when this was No1 all those years ago I cried with joy😢😂... I was a snotty kid then. Now half a century later I'm an old man and I'm bubbling again! Fantastic.

Roy was 70 here. The man just doesn't age.

I’m a yank from Chicago born in ‘79. My music education came from my Dad’s ELO, Wizzard, Cat Stevens, Tull & Genesis records, & thank god for that. I love you, Dad. Rest In Peace, and thank you.

As already stated.......Roy Wood - absolute musical genius and seriously underrated - never given the credit for being so unique and SO talented. Lov u RW. DC. x

Great to see Roy still has it brilliant stole the show.

My name is William Smith and I was the boy playing the drum in the video it's really good to see this on KZfaq the memories serve me well I think I'm still trying to get glitter out of my hair

Brilliant, one of the best writers and performers Britain has ever had. I owned a music company back in the 60's and 70's and worked alongside Roy many times, when he was with Don Arden and Jet Records. In 1973 I bought a new Rolls and with one of my pals drove it to Mallorca, and this was one of the songs I had my engineer record for me and I must have played it a couple of hundred times between Fulham and Barcelona. Great song, great fun, no bullshit just good old "down home" rock n roll. And I still love it!!!

This is my favourite song of all time. I was pregnant in 73, this song came on the jukebox and my baby kicked me for the first day. As it was my first child I didn't know what to expect. Needless to say my son loves this also. What an underrated artist Roy Wood is. He livened up the 70's fantastic music fantastic group

Still sings as well as when he was 20. Fantastic guy.

What a friggin voice class

The great man still has it over 40 years later! Not like today's "here today, gone tomorrow" lot!

Love love love this man I’m 64 in may and I’ve followed him all these years he is just amazing 😍😍😍😍😍

Never paid him much attention despite being my music period. I was Led Zeppelin, Stones and old blues stuff. Joined a guitar group recently and we,ve been learning some of his songs. Hooked! There he was, this gem hiding right in front of me.

The unassuming musical genius

Wow his voice is still great.I grew up in the 70's and now this is my son's favourite artist,he's 20 this year.That speaks volumes.

I will give Roy his due, after all these years he is still going, a true music artist and a great guy. He used to go out with Annie Haslam from Renaissance, so he had great taste too!

Roy Wood. Brilliant!! like many others, i grew up on this music

Saw Roy Wood in Torquay a few months ago and as expected the Legend was brilliant. See my baby Jive has to be one of the greatest tunes ever. Keep on rocking Roy

Class is permanent

Same key as back in the 70's 💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is much better then the wall of sound I use to get in the 70th. Now the wizzard realy comes to his right.... after 50 years 😃👍

One of the most remarkable voices in Rock`n Roll. Great song,great band !

GREAT STUFF AND CAN STILL HIT IT , BETTER THAN TODAYS CRAP

Always loved Roy Woods voice - During the Move and Wizzard !! Excellent- Roy Wood LEGEND!!!

This song was HUGE in New Zealand when I was 13 and everyones favourite song, good on ya Roy for still rockin !.

I often tell my friends this is a favourite when I was 12 in 1973, I still listen to this for nostalgia.

Roy Wood forever the best legend with a brilliant song. He produced so much music that I truly enjoyed. When is he going to get a knighthood?

The Great Man over 40 Years later Amazing Voice

Roy wood was class and always will be

Still rockin' after all these years ! Make it SIR Roy Wood please - the man is a legend !

A pop song writing genius. Sooooo underrated. As good as anyone. A life time of pop gems.

He's 70? Aged very well. My new favorite singer! Just found him on youtube. Play every day!

Best musician ever, no arguments. Still my number 1.

I once put Roy’s Army on at Pacific Road Arts on the Wirral. At the time the firemen were on strike and he told me they wouldn’t be playing Fire Brigade unless they got 8% more. 😂 Great humour, fabulous musician, nice guy.

I remember the very first time I heard this on the radio in Perth Western Australia. Everyone laughed when I said THAT IS A HIT !!!!! I guess it was. YES!

Just shook his hand in Waitrose… what a legend….. happy days

amazing great song great artist. Roy wood what a legend .

What a legend. Always been a huge fan.

Still has his great voice...what a guy roy wood is....a true legend of music 🍻✌

Woody is a rock god, him on the sax' is doing a great job

My nephew is a musician ( sax) and has met Roy several times, evidentially he's always happy to help and advice up and coming people.....what an enduring star....a true gent.

great roy wood better 40 + years later

I so remember this song, my favourite way to dance with ladies. Beautiful! Go Son! Sing it.

We Absolutely Love You Roy. You are on our turntables, CD players, Tape Decks Etc. etc. ALWAYS!!!!

Roy wood absolutely amazing, so talented, and he looks incredible, 47 years after this song was released, he doesn't look like he's aged at all. I saw him at the corn exchange a few years back, fantastic show.

Saw Roy in Bristol in January. One of the best nights of my life!

Knockout. Props to Roy, Jools and the whole band for that great piece of entertainment

What a Massive Trooper of Pop he is..Just did it for the love of just doing it. He could play every instrument on that stage ill bet.

Roy Wood .... Legend

Very few musicians/composers are at this level. It’s a shame he isn’t more well known, one of the most underrated of all time! What an outstanding catalog .

An absolute genius !!!

I simply adore Roy Wood to pieces! Doesn't everyone?

the brilliant roy wood

one of the all time great 45s

sounds like a Las Vegas stylized version of a timeless classic - that being said , it's nice to see that even now , Roy rocks !!

Still has an amazing voice . Love ya Roy

Just because I'm old now doesn't mean that I can't tell great music

Still a class act, and I don't say that often. Class never goes. it may fade slightly but it is always there. Roy Wood is as good here as he has ever been. Thanks mate. If only Karl Wayne had been there with you. That truly would have been the best TV we would have seen. Thanks Rockinjac!

He was my hero I would love to meet him he’s gorgeous

Loved it when I was 9 years old - I still do

Fantastic Fantastic musician who played all his own instruments. I was 17 when this came out

Roy Wood is such a fantastic performer, talent like Roy doesn't come along very often!

Went to see him this week. He had terrible flu, but still managed to Rock. A pro through and through. I agree with bonzo dog, he was the only one worth watching New years eve, what a way to start 2017.

Classic song love it ! Growing up in Dublin in the 70,s this song was huge . ☘️

legend what a great guy

Magnificent live version - just been tardissed back to 1973

I worked one time at Cropredy folk festival as a stage hand in 1998. Roy wood headlined and afterwards there was a small back stage party. I was using backstage toilet when Roy walked in. Only two of us in makeshift urinal. I realised who it was and just said. "I suppose its good now to have a break after that lot". This amazing talent just said. It would be, but they have to get up early next day and get everything ready again for next gig at Peterborough (or somewhere far from Cropredy). It was like talking to one of the stage hands. No airs or graces. What a nice guy. never forget meeting him. Zero ego.

Still in great voice. A true pop genius.

A national treasure.

I see he had a haircut since 1973. An underrated musical genius.

Absolutely fantastic. Just discovered this recording. It's now in my favourites!

If anyone still gets me up and brings me alive to music... it's the likes of Roy Wood. Would love to create a song with this legend. I've been writing music since I was 9. Not that I can sing, but am good with words. Great to see you Roy

Man, he still sounds great today!

I frickin love this geezer and his music x

King Roy! Amazing performance, he's lost nothing apart fro the warpaint :)

Just seen him live with his band...fantastic. Still has his awesome voice.

The first pop song I fell in love with as teenager. Loved Roy’s music ever since.

Fantastic sounds as good as ever

Still the man!

Looks younger than he did in 1973 and sounds just as good. Brilliant showman.

rock and roll at its best

What a great voice!

Still love your voice after all those years . Wish to see you!

You are so friendly ...singing, acting, performing... Bravo..!!! from Madrid (Spain)

jools looked in a panic at the start by the end he knew it was a great idea

That is passion ...ticket to heaven.

This man is a musical genius

Great voice and great performance👏 used to see him occasionally in Flints Wine bar mere green when he used to pop in for a drink.👌
