@@gerrym.9354 The Rollers' hit songs did not have the complexity of the Beatles early hits IMHO. The excitement was there though. Their album "Elevator" would probably be their "Rubber Soul" except that it is a bit hit and miss. Having said that, I can still listen to their good tracks like Eagles Fly to this day, and at very high volume lol.

Actually, I vaguely remember this band. The next "Beatles" HA! I hardly remember them and it's not a deep memory! They were more like 'bubble gum rock". This bands name is poor and music had nothing for me at that time.. If you had not illuminated aspects about who they are and how they performed I would not have heard it. But with that name, that sound, well I would have never looked. So now that I have I realize I did not miss anything. Go back to the roller ball arena- great team name!

Beautiful, intelligent tribute to a band that gave so much and got very little. I was a huge BCR fan as a girl. Les was my fave and it is shocking he has died at 65 - when I was a fan he seemed so much older to me - it is just a 5 year gap. We were all very young. Great song, thank you for taking the time again to highlight the positive and remind many of the negative - they were exploited and I am sure that issue contributed to a shorter life for Leslie Richard McKeown.

That's it!!! Eric is classically trained in stringed instruments. I have a live concert where he played a classical song and he's very good. I stopped everything I was doing and stood there being wholly impressed and this was taped during the BCR years. I think I mentioned that I met Les twice and Alan once and Woody once. ALL DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES. Les was quite the entertainer and was meant to be on stage as a front man. Extremely charismatic and so much fun. Alan was so shy and Woody was very shy, but liked to joke. Les was so out going and very approachable and loved people. He loved a challenge and loved to talk about music and what was going on with technology. He had a lovely voice too. If you listen to Nobby Clark, the singer previous to Les, he was good, but he just didn't fit. Les fit like a piece of the puzzle. It was magic. Thank you for going over the chords with us that Eric played and the song and Les singing and the Longmuirs and tribute to Les (and Alan silently). Very nice.

I was lucky enough to share a stage with a very young BCR in Edinburgh, not once but twice. On both occasions the other band was the East West Blues Band, with the stunning Ian Bairnson on guitar. It was in a club called Oasis on The Bridges in Edinburgh. Ian went on to be house guitar for the Alan Parsons Project and joined up with Davy Paton to form the excellent Pilot. He also played the Wuthering Heights solo and sessioned for everybody!! The BCR weren’t great players then, but their vocal harmonies were exceptional. Lord Fil of Henley, well done: I can guarantee from personal experience that they could genuinely play - and sing!😊

Loved their music, still play it when I want to put on some happy music. They were better than people give them credit for. I was lucky that I got to see them three times; once when they came to Chicago, then twice at our state fair. I was pleasantly surprised by how tight the shows were. Forty plus years have passed and I vividly remember their set for the "It's a Game" tour. Backlit was a black & white chess board that extended onto the stage, with life size chess pieces. It was visually striking. Simplistic compared to today's concerts, but memorable. I wish people would give their music a chance, they have a solid catalog filled with fun songs.

On one episode he had just finished demonstrating some difficult finger style blues and the lead guitar player from the Rollers ended the talk with a fast , descending and cliche blues lick of about 5 notes - the crowd of adoring fans went into ecstatic applause at his virtuosity and Jim O'Sullivan graciously said, ''Oh that really sings.'' :)

Great analysis Fil. Can't say that I was a BCR fan back in the day, but they were all the rage with the younger chart/pop music fans. I can thank BCR for their recording of Tim Moore's "Rock and Roll Love Letter" which caught my ear. Heard R&RLL on another occasion and it was a different "version". Pleased to find out it was also covered by one of the Thames Estuary's finest - and from then on one of my favourite bands, The Records. Check out their song "Hearts In Her Eyes". It's sad when those from music's history pass away. I always hope that those that gave so much pleasure and happy memories live long and fade off into the sunset. Sadly for Les, it wasn't to be. RIP Les McKeown. Condolences to his family, friends and remaining bandmates. Thanks again Fil. Stay safe and well.
