"Handbags and Gladrags" is a song written in 1967 by Mike d'Abo, who was then the lead singer of Manfred Mann. D'Abo describes the song as "saying to a teenage girl that the way to happiness is not through being trendy. There are deeper values."

Most people think the version from their era is the best, or from their favorite artist. Thing is, is it's not a competition. Rod Stewart had the woodwind counter melody put in which made the song so much more melencholic than previous versions and which all subsequent versions have. Also Kelly closely paraphrases Rod's versions vocal including ad-libs. They both do an excellent job! Thanks for putting it on and you made a very professional job with the video.

I recently found Rod Stewart's "Storyteller" anthology on cassette at Goodwill. I've heard this song before but today is the first time I really listened to it. I think Rod is very underrated, and this song is one of his best.
@EmpressOfWyoming588 жыл бұрын
+freakygeek90 He wasn't underrated at the time he released this. When he did the disco bit, people quit taking him seriously. He did some good stuff later. Look for him live with Ron Wood, doing Mandolin Wind. They are seated and Rod is playing banjo. Amazing. I saw him in concert before his disappointing disco fluff. He filled the Omni arena in Atlanta and had Jeff Beck with him. The Omni has since been torn down, but it was the place of many, many famed concerts.

One great thing about Rod Stewart is the quality of songs he chose that he didn't pen; from Tim Hardin to Cat Stevens, he knew the songs that he loved and could interpret with his own inimitable style. God bless you Rod, you're an elderly statesman of the British rock establishment now but truly loved and respected by so many. Respect.

This is the Road Stewart that I loved and admired. Great songs, concepts and musicianship. Before he went disco and commercially heavier. Now he thinks he's Frank Sinatra or some soul singer. I don't know -- I still respect him as a singer and performer but he needs to do another Gasoline Alley and redeem himself a little. He's one of the survivors of the rock era -- he has the talent still...the maturity too. He and Dylan seem to be grasping for things in the past -- but they are things they didn't create. So they can't possibly resurrect those old jewels. No more than if those old singers tried singing one of their tunes seriously. Enough with the nostalgia...one album suffices, we get the message, you liked those songs and grew up on them. Now, get back to what you do best. (Am I being too harsh? Or logical?). I want my old Rod Stewart back -- there are songs out there that are as good as Gasoline Alley's that could be Gasoline Alley II or Return to Gasoline Alley. I would rather listen to Rod tackle blues the way Tom Jones does than MOR standards. I am listening to his "Cut Across Shorty" right now...damn. Excellent beyond compare.

Written by Mike D'Abo, and originally a hit for Chris Farlowe in 1966. Previously in Band of Angels, D'Abo became the lead singer for Manfred Mann in 1966, and in 1968 had a hit with them with Bob Dylan's "Mighty Quinn the Eskimo" (MM's version was imply called "The Mighty Quinn"). Rod Stewart sang "Handbags and Gladrags" on his debut solo album "An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down," released in late 1969 (Stewart had previously been vocalist in Steampacket and the original lineup of The Jeff Beck Group, and of course would be the lead vocalist in The Small Faces' successor group, The Faces). That is D'Abo playing the plangent piano part on Stewart's version of the song. D'Abo went on to originate the role of King Herod in the original 1970 recording of the Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice rock opera/oratorio "Jesus Christ Superstar," with Ian Gillian (soon to become lead vocalist of Deep Purple) as Jesus, the actor-singer Murray Head as Judas Iscariot, the teenage Yvonne Elliman as Mary Magdalene, and Barry Dennen as Pontius Pilate.
