They definitely do NOT make songs as good as this anymore. I love the soul singing near the end, that's just way out!! I was locked up in a childrens home 1967-68 for broken families, my mother never came to see me, but I remember this song cheered me up.

1968 I was 12 years old. Time goes so fast when we are all growing up. Faster when we get older. But always good memories of the 1960s and 1970s when it comes to a lot of the music from those two decades, and one can hear it and see it on KZbin. Like going back into time on Mr. Peabody's "Way-Back Machine" along with his "Boy" Sherman.

The early 70ies didn't get off to a good start, though did it. What was the music called something like GLAM-OROUS Rock. Yak!

[@notsorandumusername]

When singer Paul Jones left the band, Manfred Mann couldn't have found a better replacement than Mike D'Abo. Also great that they eventually even shared the stage for the Manfreds tour. In the sixties, Manfred Mann was up there with the likes of The Beatles, The Stones, The Who, The Kinks, The Moody Blues and The Bee Gees.

[@VirreFriberg]

Always found it rather hilarious how Paul Jones and Mike d'Abo looked alike

When Manfred Mann covers a song they OWN it. Doo Wah Diddy, Pretty Flamingo, Mighty Quinn and Blinded by the Light to name a few.

[@brianmallen8887]

Yeah it's the arrangements, that guitar, the instrumentation, and those voices. The genius is the person who decides "this is what it's gonna sound like." And notice how no two recordings sound the same. It takes brass balls to take a tune by heavyweights like Dylan and Springsteen, decide they fucked up their own song, and turn it into magic. They say that Bruce Springsteen's career was made by the album "Born to Run." Bullshit I say. To this day I don't think he's ever put out a record better than Manfred's "Blinded By the Light."

[@supra1903]

Don't forget I Came For You...my personal favorite.

[@Hexon66]

@@brianmallen8887 I think the only appropriate response to that take is to ask if that's really a hill you're willing to die on?

[@brianmallen8887]

@@Hexon66 Well to say Manfred's "Blinded" is better than Springsteen's "Born to Run" is confusing in that they're both written by him. Nobody should try to replicate "Born," just like nobody could touch Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" or "Tangled Up in Blue." Bruce's version of "Blinded" is okay, M M's "Blinded" is classic. Just like what Jimi Hendricks does with "All Along the Watchtower."

[@rickmanning6690]

What do you mean a cover-up of Doo Wah ditty he's the original

[@viktoriabentham8664]

The bassist and flute player at 1:02 is Klaus Voormann, a brilliant ink artist and close friend of the Beatles, he designed and drafted the cover for their Revolver album and also produced many other beautiful, unique artworks.

[@soundshaper]

He also played bass on some Lennon and Ringo songs.

[@foldsofblubber]

Voorman was also with Lennon on stage at the Toronto Peace Festival (on film by Pennebaker as Sweet Toronto) in 1969. This was a monumental event in the history of rock. It was described by Rolling Stone as the 2nd most important rock festival ever.

[@anonUK]

​@peterfreeman6677 The problem is, if you take all the evil people out of historical sources, as this now is, how do you educate people about what happened and what to look out for, to stop similar things happening in the future? It would be like doing a history of World War II and taking out all of Hilter's speeches. You may not want to see it but you can't sugar-coat what happened.

Klaus Voorman, the plastic artist that was a close friend of the Beatles in hamburg en 1960 - 1961, turned into a musician (he was bassist of manfred mann from 1966 to 1969)

[@ITILII]

Klaus also designed the album cover for The Beatles - Revolver.

[@AnyoneCanSee]

Yep, he played bass on a ton oh John Lennon's solo work as well. Including Imagine.

[@montifexmaximus459]

And he lives now south of Munich at the Starnberger See. My region.

[@wayneblanchard97]

Voorman played bass (an 8-string) with Paddy, Klaus and Gibson prior to Manfred Mann, where he took over from Jack Bruce, who'd left for Cream. In addition to the Beatles' 'Revolver' and 'Anthology' album covers he also did 'Bee Gees 1st' and the most excellent 'Extraction', Gary Wright's debut solo album which also saw Voorman playing bass. Another fine album on which he appears is Leon Russell's solo debut, which featured an all-star cast including Ringo, Clapton, and others from the Delaney & Bonnie and Friends lineup etc..

[@buddyvilla7393]

Manfred Mann didn’t seem to miss a beat when Paul Jones left and Michael DABO took over as lead singer. Pretty Flamingo hit no1 with Paul on lead vocals and The Mighty Quinn hit No 1 with Michael DABO on lead vocals. Michael’s daughter born one year later is the heartbreakingly beautiful actress Olivia DABO. You can see her on KZbin in several films. Greedy 1994 a screwball comedy with Kirk Douglas yes Kirk Douglas and Michael J Fox. And The Last Good Time1995 a serious drama with German actor Armin Mueller Stahl and Maureen Stapleton. Stahl plays a retired violinist who takes in Olivia when she is homeless. Also Spirit of 76 with David Cassidy they travel back to 1976 from the future. All on KZbin. And no I’m not Olivia’s agent or publicist. Just trying to draw attention to this incredibly talented and terribly underrated actress!!!!!!!!!
