Manfred Mann - Fox On The Run

[@kurman4749]

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

[@davidrowbottom9234]

He was my favourite front man in the second line up of manfred manns band and wasn't he ahead of his time on every performance isn't that the first sign language he was showing us

[@sweetcup6694]

Ten year old comment but just who are the Manfred's? LOL

[@robertmcalpine488]

​@sweetcup6694 Back in the early 90s the members of Manfred Mann got back together without Manfred himself who was still touring with his Earth Band. They couldn't legally call themselves Manfred Mann so they became The Manfreds. As of 2024 they are still touring with original members Paul Jones and Tom McGuinness.

[@christhompson2126]

Just-now heard it again. Wonderful times of my late youth...

[@aleast4434]

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 KZbin for possibility. -

[@nobbyarmbruster]

My God, it's been a long time. I was 8 and heard the song for the first time on Radio Luxembourg (The Great 208). The melody caught my ear immediately, that was basically my introduction to pop music. At first I thought the singer Mike d'Abo was Manfred Mann, not the guy on the keyboard.

[@jgmdewilde4112]

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

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

3 UK number 1 hits. Do wah Diddy, Pretty Flamingo and Mighty Quinn.

[@비정한세상]

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

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.

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

[@Krzyszczynski]

This incarnation of Manfred Mann produced a string of catchy hit singles, but to me most of them, while well-executed, were bland and rather forgettable. Tom McGuinness does a convincing job of jollying this one along, but the truth is he, drummer Mike Hugg and Manfred himself were tired of having to peddle this sort of stuff to make a living. (I once saw a short doco* on The Blues Band, narrated by Willy Rushton, in which Tom stated that unequivocally.) Note how you never see Mike H full-face in this clip. He always did look a bit grumpy, even in the early days, at having to do the pop-star thing. By this time he'd have been positively thunderous. * I've looked more than once for this on YT, but not a trace. The BBC made it, so I guess they're guarding their copyrights as ferociously as ever.

[@VirreFriberg]

I think Mike Hugg just had a naturally grumpy face, almost never saw him smile.
