Roger Daltrey - Say It Ain't So, Joe

I do not own the music (of course I bought the record and recommend you to the same) and there is no copyright infringement intended. For entertainment/promotional purposes only. Enjoy the music. From the third solo release by The Who's Roger Daltrey, back in 1977 and titled "One Of The Boys".

This song reminds me of when I was young and happy..Sadly, those days are long gone.

Things will TURN soon for the Better... We will find stronger ways to Encourage Our KIDS for a Brighter Future. TECH is failing and they're AWARE that supporting culture, practice and confidence is Better than escapism. Have Faith... Be Positive... And do not be afraid to express your ideas and thoughts, particularly if you have Strategic Plans that have clear methodology for engaging performance results. Sometimes it takes Time to surround yourself with the Right Team or Personnel. Patience truly is a Virtue! 😊

Just one of those nights where this song popped into my head and after not hearing it for decades I had to tune in because it wouldn't leave me alone. Cool tune.

As a huge who fan since 1971 I must say one of the boys was Daltrey at his finest.

[@cindyburrell8426]

Beyond great,this is talent,a work of art.

[@rjnuzzi1648]

Daltrey at the height of his vocal powers... This solo LP is quite good, the third in his career.

[@brookebethel8915]

He really is (was) a great singer. Pete recognized that -- thank God for The Who!!!

[@robertkess9907]

The Who just released a brand new album (Dec 2019) and it's safe to say after hearing it that he IS a great singer. Check it out, the album is called simply "WHO" you won't believe how great his voice sounds, to hear it you'd never know that he's 75 years old. Check it out, see what you think.

@@robertbartholomew7183 I love moon drums. I think Kenny Jones was good on this , but iRoger didn't live Kenny Jones pushing up vs Moonies push down drumming. Did I mention Moon is better than Bonhum.(My opinion).

[@gregstuartsmith]

Such range and power! A once in a generation singer. Ox rocks this as well! The fact that all these guys played in junior high bands together and knew each other their whole lives is beyond a one in a billion chance. It was meant to be. Not just The Who but the whole bloody British Invasion! In my opinion the most musical culture in the world. I’m American, which makes me British underneath, and what we did musically was part of the same gene. Anyway, my life is better because of Roger’s voice, so thanks, Rog!!!

[@michaelslack8273]

I just wrote a comment on the Kinks song living on a thin line another great song. These both were wrote and composed in the mid 80s . And speak volumes of today. I can understand folks in Ukrain listening to these songs . Beautiful pieces of work.

[@amerocker]

"Say It Ain't So, Joe", was written and performed by Murray Head, in 1975. Roger Daltrey covered it in 1977. "Living On A Thin Line", written by Dave Davies, of The Kinks, came out in 1984, on the Kinks LP, 'Word of Mouth'.

[@JaLa248]

Great Song! ❤️🤍💙⬆️

[@johnthrower3596]

What a great voice and truth in the song.

[@phylliselizahb1041]

Wow! Never connected song w/Daltrey! Thanks!

[@dredpiraterobts]

So I went to hear Murray Head's version. Very nice! Absolutely worth your listen if you never have heard it.What this version, however, has that Murray's doesn't is OxPower! Listening to the baseline on this is just a whole other experience. That's what Ox brings to the table! He's playing a complete song underneath the song you think you're listening to. That allows you to pop back and forth from song to song and wend your way through the piece a hundred different ways.I know this is a Daltrey deal, but I can't leave without commenting on Entwistle!Thanks for putting it up!

[@thejoelshep]

dredpiraterobts absolutely! The Ox brought an unmistakable, everlasting influence on every song he played. This one is no exception. He truly elevated the song from pretty, delicate ballad to Thunderous parading anthem. Roger’s vocals echo the force and melodic quality of the bass.

[@jokkergar]

Well put, i absolutely loved the baseline, it's a shame John didn't collaborated with more contemporary artists.

[@steve4u2]

Jimmy McCulloch is a one of a kind that did so much in so little time. Such a shame he left us way to soon.

[@wendykaplan8571]

I wish someone would upload "Single Man's Dilemma" from this album. It's one of my fave tracks. I have the album on vinyl, but it's a bit scratched. So if you can do so, dymondav I'd be forever grateful :)

[@robertkess9907]

I just discovered this song, better late than never I guess. Does that sound like Keith Moon on drums? It just doesn't sound like his playing to my ears, but according to Wiki he's credited with drums on this track, I'm just not so sure. I've been a Keith devotee for decades and I'm not hearing Moon, WHO knows!

[@julesphillis6596]

Its definitely Moon, theres a vid on KZbin showing him playing. Just search the song title and daltery and you'll find it.

No chance it's Keith. Keith could play 'simple' but this isn't his 'simple' style.
