Mick Ronson, Ian Hunter - American Music

[@Velvetnos]

listening to this in '89 on the radio in Billings, Montana. It was an Ephiany!

[@lewisbolt8450]

Hunter &Ronson both should in Rock Hall of Fame

[@rogerblevins9062]

When poets ruled and music was fun

[@nancykovack6159]

My first husband loved Mott The Hoople and Ian Hunter. He got me into them. Sadly he passed away 4 years ago at the young age of 56😪. He especially loved this song. Makes me cry every time I listen to it😟.

Bless you, may you know happiness. 🙏

@@johnpatti4391 thank u. U as well🙏

[@rjpence]

Can't believe this: A) wasn't a hit when it was released & B) has never been on a soundtrack or covered by another artist. If this song had come from a mainstream artist, this would have been a top 10 hit.

[@2damnoldforUtube]

Ian Hunter is for discerning listeners. Top 10 hits are for people who don't give a shit about music.

[@エスナイダーZ]

​​@@2damnoldforUtube You're right, perfect speech bro💥 "Ian Hunter" It's prestige not for people who don't understand their music.

[@cymbalic86]

Agreed 💯

[@maxthepupp]

You know what I love most about 'unter ? He has always worn his heart on his sleeve -and he's always lovedR&R. Rock on Ian!❤❤❤🤘😎🤘 Singularly my favorite Artist. Sure,sure, Beatles, Stones, Dylan, Bruce,Petty, yeah, yeah, etc..but Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson never got the recognition they truly deserve.

[@AlexF-fd3vn]

Yui Orta is one of the best Ian/ronno production. The sound is perfect, many tracks had to became hit.

[@rogerblevins9062]

Fukin' timeless! Ian's masterful, just listen

[@papaj12100]

A very underrated artist. Hunter and Ronson both. saw him a few times. best time was on this tour. Mick's last RIP..

[@markvaught672]

I had been a fan since 1973 and his days fronting Mott. At 9 years old (1976) I won a radio contest to see "Mott". The offshoot of Mott the Hoople. It was in the Record Plant in Hollywood. I had to have my mom come because I wasn't 18. Lol. I finally got to see two boyhood heroes when I caught Hunter and Ronson on this tour at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano. I got to see Hunter again at the Roxy in Hollywood in 2016. He rocked as usual. When he did some Golden Age of Rock and Roll for one of the encores I was in tears. Hunter fucking rocks.

[@tod3msn]

I bought and listened to this record when it came out in 1989 and loved it. Still love it.

[@joefaraci8575]

The best music video I have ever seen by the greatest artist I have ever heard. Hunter is magnificent.

[@rogerblevins9062]

Greatest scribe in music 🎉

[@kirkpearson2173]

Proper musicians

[@1georgegraves]

fantastic guitar by ronno , so simple but it sounds brilliant, true genius, sadly missed. fantastic lyrics, most kids can relate to them, we have all sung in the mirror pretending to be rock stars. great song ian

[@ktpinnacle]

Great album. And he still produces fantastic music. Listen up youngins'!

[@gunnar59]

yes and his new album in 2023 i great

[@jettboy5265]

superb

[@mustlovepretzels]

At 3:02: Bill Haley & Little Richard. Bill Haley was from Chester, Pa. and I went to the Macedonia 7th Day Adventist Church(also in Chester) where Little Richard gave the sermon as Richard Penniman. Great song also. Cheers!

Thank you so much for that tittle! on spirit and heart for ever

[@speedformercy]

funny, I remember when this came out. for us "bluddy yanks" it's the opposite: all the good music is British!! so many of us had our lives changed by Floyd, Zep, the 'Ooo, Mick & Keef, etc gotta love Ian & Mick Ronson - keepin the dream alive... rock on boys, turn it up

[@morganfisherart]

@@petercrowley41 You do realise you're replying to an American, who is nicely showing his appreciation. Are you also implying that anyone into the bands he mentioned is also clueless? Why be so unpleasant?

[@petercrowley41]

@@morganfisherart I've deleted my comment because I didn't intend to hurt anyone's feelings. However, at the time of the British Invasion, few young Americans were aware of the fact that the bands from England were playing what was essentially American Music.

[@bettytomaszewski343]

this is one my favorite tunes by Ian Hunter

[@kirkpearson2173]

You don't get any beter than this

[@johnpayne6860]

He'll be in the history of music, and You keep rockin man!

[@dapperd67]

A legend in Rock n Roll

[@sniperelite2288]

I Saw Ian and Mick ian 75 and loved them american music is great

[@1anhunter1]

Amazing to think this was 30 years ago.

[@mikrofonlarkralarnacevapla1838]

*Nice piece in deed!:* This moderate expressive mood and accentuation is so lovely.. like you are on a boat and swiftly cruising halfway the wavy sea and wind and sun are like the foams you leave behind on the surface of the cool water.. a nice afternoon closing chest into the evening.. the yellowish sun light warms neatly *_foaming!_* your deep blue face where the wind tills it like your boat.. what the wonderful sight of the high blue skies like.. the very some and that same the sea you perfectly scar into jollity and soft intimacy physically and mentally and all emotionally! .. I like this wavy cool warm heart mood. ..

[@ronniewilliams2465]

Loved this Album, in 1989.still do. 1st CD I ever bought, American PX Nuremberg-Furth PX. I had a Sony Boombox, and A single CD player Patched in in Aux. you couldn’t tell me shit! I soon bought 135 CD’s in rapid succession. Every hair band, some R and B, some country. I was in the Army. Good times.

[@bvallier100]

Just me and my records and a vivid imagination. Love it.

[@larshansson9442]

It is such a great song with fine lyrics and I heard it many years ago and I still like it.

[@ronnoten]

classic from the dynamic duo.

[@richardtaylor8595]

This is awesome. Ronson and Hunter. Wow.

[@rozenaxsax5133]

Absolutely Awesome Song!!❤️❤️💯💯🙏🙏 But the truth is that British music is just as good.

[@jrnash5329]

I'll tell ya something that is very near & dear to my heart , the first time I walked into the Winterland ballroom in San Francisco in 1973 the vision that greeted me were the Union Jack & Old Glory crossed high above the stage ! This is an impression that is etched in memory some of the best & magical times of my youth were spent in that place & I saw them all even Ian Hunter wish I could of Mick as well ! Truth told American & British bands are the best both together , Cheers !!

[@Jungleroomreptiles]

💚💚💚

[@goffredo]

refreshing to hear such explicit expression of appreciation from you Brits,who usually just copy us!!! ;-)

[@michaelkoszowski3716]

I have a dream ...it's only just one dream .

[@BernardColdwell]

Was the first single taken from the YUI Orta album and was the first CD I bought all without actually having a CD-player! I love the vocals on this, the melody as well ;) I have a vivid imagination :)

[@dannyg.9748]

Listening to your Brother all day today and that just topped it off TY

[@matthewryan1185]

This is a great song! 🎶 😇

[@BaheidTommy]

I thought he was in the hall of fame. Certainly should be.

[@markbauer1149]

His piano is, he's not. Go figure

[@timjones1863]

that track is the best. it's got power. gotta love it

[@garyprice6504]

Sums up Mott the Hoople- And few people got it… Sad, cos its all in there.

[@rogerblevins9062]

He doesn't even know what a scribe he is! Total master of prose

[@MindthegapMonday]

Saw Ian this week in Chicago. Mark Bosch is a wonderful guitar player, but Mick will be forever missed. Its only lonely underground.

[@bigtiny700]

I STARTED A FACEBOOK PAGE CALLED IAN HUNTER SHOULD BE IN THE ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME.PLS GO TO IT AND ADD TO IT IMNOT TO PROFICIANT AT THE COMPUTER.

[@robertamour55]

I hope he will be soon mate

[@charlesdanese5479]

A great find!!

[@morganfisherart]

Interesting that this song is maybe half the tempo of most of the songs sung by the rock legends featured. Personally I'd have loved the tempo to suddenly double and Ronno take off on a killer solo before coming back to the chorus!

[@l1amm00ney]

Absolute tune.

This is tonight's headphone tune, not for the first time

Ian really should have been himself in an episode of minder

[@934johno]

All the British bands we're influence Ed by American bands and singers

[@ckngxcalbr]

Saw him in Cleveland Friday...amazing doesnt come close to describing how good he was...this song was a sooo good live Guy at the concert had the perfect description of Ian..."The English Bob Dylan"

[@1anhunter1]

I've seen him a few times but can't recall him doing it live (Shepherds Bush, Astoria, Southampton). I wish I had.

[@markbauer1149]

Me too. He gave an interview at rnr Hof the day before,. Drinks and a private reception after. That was a fantastic weekend.

[@Nonkinsense]

Ira Aron Nonkin loves IAN !

[@mredgrrr]

Another RRHOF snub !!!

[@richardlugo7009]

yeah i agree with you pal...most people just listen to what the radio plays..and this radio guys just didnt have the ears to what music is and what is crap...

[@thomasbrennan468]

The greatest tribute song to american music ever written

[@middenrat]

...certainly shouldn't be crying at my age. Why do so may good 'uns die young?

[@losbreakdowns4294]

As much as I love Hunter and Ronno, this is pretty dreadful, isn't it? So over-produced

[@voxpox1850]

Ian is NEVER over produced.

[@jazzyj626]

Not as overproduced as the Overnight Angels album!

[@petercrowley41]

Actually, it couldn't be more perfect.
