Steve Harley - Come up and see me (Make me smile), on Rockwiz S10 Ep132 (Best version ever)

[@philipjarrett3487]

RIP Steve Harley (1951-2024)😢

[@Winterblossom8863]

Superb. Just getting better and better. Truly a great singer

[@anthonylilly6862]

God rest his soul ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@vladimirzizka1765]

I've had his writing on my playlist for a few years now. I haven't heard of him yet. These songs never made it to us. I think it fits in with the music I used to play as a kid in the late '70s...

[@shadow2010shadow2010]

RIP

[@dimogrec]

You made me smile so many times....

[@johngilkeson3109]

Cockney Rebel and Steve Harley, the soundtrack of my generation. A charismatic brilliant songwriter and a great performer. RIP Steve.

[@galwayvintagecollection3401]

And The Great Machine thinks they can quench our thirst for independence. Saaaad day coming for the unsympathetic power crazy asses who never lived. 😊😅😮❤

[@jazzhastings3137]

Well Said

[@JoeNovacks]

[@nigel4425]

The most underrated songwriter of his generation. And, a genuinely nice guy! I miss him.

[@CliffordBonner]

Today I feel a part of me left my soul. I have been a ‘Stevo’ fan since 1973 where, at the Roundhouse, an elderly lady attacked the queue waiting to see Cockney Rebel (for blocking the pavement). I never saw or heard a poor Steve Harley performance. One of the most hard-working and honest performers you would ever wish to see. The music lives on and will for evermore. Performing was his ‘job’ and he took it seriously. Family was his life and inspiration. My tears are for them and in memory of what joy he brought to my life. I came up and saw you many times and you really did ‘Make me Smile’.

[@nettynoodle8336]

Me too

[@morpheusspirit6609]

An absolutely beautiful message. Thank you for sharing your experiences. 🙏🏾❤️

[@rodoza66]

Touching memory and tribute. High light in my life was seeing Cockney Rebel when they played two nights at The Whisky in LA around that same time. RIP...

[@jazzhastings3137]

Its Great To Hear A Real Tribute And Heartfelt Comment

[@alanstrom2221]

It's one of the most uplifting songs ever written. Sounds like Steve enjoyed himself up until the end. Vale Steve Harley RIP mate. Australia loves you.

[@johnysolvang7559]

Im so agree. Lovely.

[@peterbza]

Rest easy Cockney Rebel 😢 thank you for the beautiful music.

[@andypritchard5126]

RIP Steve, thanks for the music

[@elephantgiftstore]

He must have sung this song 1000's of times and could still sing it with such fervour, total respect. RIP Steve Harley

[@venderstrat]

Agree. I've gone to work every day for 42 years.

[@RonLee999]

He'd been performing that song for 38 years and was still entirely present and having fun with the band and the back-up singers. Vale Steve Harley.

[@stevenbrodie404]

Imagine having that much fun and energy performing a song he's probably had to sing every single day for 38 years

[@johngrimshaw3965]

The news of Steve's passing has me reaching for the tissue box. It's only when they leave us that we stop to ponder the imprint they had on our lives. So many memories. The profound words of the brilliant poet. 'Oh you'll think it's tragic when that moment first arrives, oh but it's magic, it's the best years of our lives. I'm lost now for the words to tell you the truth. All I can say is thankyou Steve for bantering with me the banter of youth.

[@nedmaletdecarteret1991]

I feel exactly the same.

[@nickmurray9151]

He must have played this song a million times in his life and he makes it sound so fresh and exciting, like he was playing it for the first time. This is how you treat a classic song, one of the greatest pop songs ever recorded. Amazing job.

[@RickCostello]

Totally agree. What a performance.

[@andrewcrooks373]

Yes and you could tell he was stoked with his and the band’s performance 🤩

[@narvul]

He lost at least one octave.

[@davecarkeet5691]

Totally agreed nick, excelent comment

It's 72' I'm 16 and life is all in front of me.What a song, and the memories are wonderful.

[@edwardcharlesworth5192]

With all due respect to Steve, he hardly ever gets mentioned among the greats. He should! Great singer, great music. Thank you.

[@TyrannosaurusCHEX]

I think probably because he is a one hit wonder rather then a consistent chart topper, but it still doesn't take away that this song is really good and somewhat underrated.

[@MrGroganmeister]

One hit wonder, just like the Knack

[@flamingfrancis]

@@MrGroganmeister Who needs multiples when you can have the success he did with this one. Recorded in 1975 and here he is still performing it. He also owned a racehorse that earned him the equivalent of a decent hit record.

Like many of the live performances I've watched, this is fantastic. Like you I can't stop playing them. I especially like the version in 2011 of Sebastian he did in Norway. The audience couldn't stop clapping and stood up to praise this God of the music industry.

It is the greatest pause in Musical history. Somehow it makes the song. When the Artist turns and looks to the band like in this video it is a huge compliment. Its a Muso thing. The Rockwiz Orchestra and backing singers never had one complaint from anyone.

3 years since I watched and this will not date... ❤️❤️❤️❤️it. Watch it every week. Especially with a glass of red. Timeless.

[@kirathomsen-cheek9834]

I was frankly terrified to watch this. I thought that he might be a shadow of the mega-cool-cat he was in the 1975 video that was my previous obsession. (You know the one - he's got on a maroon bowler and matching long overcoat and he is magnificent.) But how wrong I was! He's aged gorgeously, and his voice is superb. That hint of raspiness gives it a lived-in quality that brings depth and wisdom to this song. He's probably performed it - what? - ten thousand times? More? And it's still so fresh. I am newly in love.

[@sarahbreisch4750]

yes ma'am you gotta love that maroon hat and coat! I wasn't even born when that version was released but he is FINE
