Ian Mitchell (Bay City Rollers) - Dedication

[@jenniwhitney5619]

I know he'd just turned 62, but in my mind's eye, I'll always see him just like this-beautifully sweet-faced and looking just like an angel. Sweet Ian-RIP!!

Hello Jenni

[@brigittejaschkowitz508]

jes is so sad dh we all must goin thats is fact

[@christinacrowley3631]

My first true love. You were my heart Ian. RIP 🙏

[@nancysn7152]

@@christinacrowley3631 me too. I used to lay on my bed & cry to this when Ian left the group. I was lucky enough to meet him in 2007, & 2008. He was a sweetheart. I had a stack of things for him to sign including a Rosetta Stone album. He called me love and kissed my cheek! I felt like I was 12 again! RIP Ian. You are greatly missed & always will be. 💘 🌈

[@nancyparker9276]

I know! And I think back to those days and, as a 10/11-year-old, he seemed so grown up! The professionalism and poise of ALL those young men is a testament to the talent and integrity that not many seemed to notice.

私は16歳の時に17歳のイアンに一目見て好きになりました❗ なんて可愛い男の子 こんな子がいるんだってびっくりしました。 忘れもしない日本に来日寸前にイアンがロ-ラ-ズから脱退したんです。 凄いショックで学校に遅刻して行ったら友達の前で泣いてしまいました。 本当にイアン好きだった。 イアンがこの世界にもういないなんて！ 今度生まれ変われたならイアンと同じ国に生まれてイアンの友達でもよいので会いたい❗ 今でも好きです‼️

当時イアンがボーカルのこの曲を何度も何度も繰り返し聞いていた。今イアンの歌う姿が見れるなんて幸せ！

[@メグ姉]

外国の方ばかりのコメントの中で日本語のコメントを見付け、嬉しくなりコメント入れさせて頂きます。私もイアンのボーカルのこの曲をカセットテープがすり減るまで、何百回聴いた事でしょう。若くしてお亡くなりになり、惜しいと思ってた所に、レスリーも亡くなったとの事。本当に悲しく、寂しくなりました。

Where did the years go? I was 12. I never would've imagined that one day I would end up sitting on my porch alone in the middle of the night, crying uncontrollably, because this beautiful man has passed away. Dear God, you took him too soon....why do those who are so special pass away too soon?

I remember the Rollers performing this song live in Atlanta in 1976, and it gave me goosebumps then. Ian had that sweet Irish voice. If I remember correctly, people actually stopped screaming to listen to him sing.

Hello Melissa

[@larobinson9145]

I give Ian so much credit . He walked into that roller coaster of a job, at age 17... Nailed this song perfectly... Acted with a lot of poise and dignity on TV ... No ego trips... Got out when it was too crazy . Very cool guy and talented .

I am grateful he escaped. It was such a wise decision for such a young man.

Hello Jackie

[@joannegreenwood4168]

Although a 'classic' five devotee, this performance shows the excellence of Ian's input into the band and the same can be said for Pat. This is a very 'good looking' video; all the Rollers look extraordinarily handsome and are smilingly relaxed! How did they manage to find such musical talent combined with such stunning looks? But I guess that's what made the Rollers stand out from the crowd ---then and NOW. Thanks Janny. Regards, Jo.

To think that Ian was only 17 when he joined the Rollers. Really - just a baby !! I was so, so, SO in love with him. I was 15 then ... and I just cried and cried to the point of hysteria when he left the band after only a few months. Being a Roller fan is one of my VERY few good memories of my teen years !

My best friend at the time said Les always looked jealous of Ian...then I noticed it. And I loved Ian even more because it takes a lot of inner strength to ignore negativity and not let it affect you. And we saw that in Ian. He always smiled, he laughed, and beamed like a light of happiness for us. He was never on an ego trip. Watch the backstage and behind the scenes videos...

Sweet Woody turns to smile at audience left at 2:00, on the line "you'll never know how much I love you" he always related to the audience. He's just an angel, quite simply, as was Ian. Woody's still out there on the road , at 65. Eric also , is straight from the upper realms , a gift from God. Beautiful guitar lead from Eric here.
