ELO: "Rockaria" --a song that combines rock and opera is a natural for you.

[@TheOriginalDavidBrock]

Hi Maggie! Diana Ankudinova is 20 now. I don't think that you will quite believe her voice now. She sang a duet on New Years canlled "The Day You..." Brandon Stone, the composer accompanied her. I think you will find her following interested in your reaction. Be well.

[@deanm375]

In 1991 I took my girlfriend to see Rod Stewart live at the Orange County fair grounds in SoCal for her birthday as she was a huge fan. I enjoyed his music but did not consider myself a fan. That was THE BEST concert I have ever been to. Rod was so full of energy and enthusiasm. constantly interacting with the crowd, kicking autographed soccer balls into the crown. Probably 6 or 7 costume changes. It was FANTASTIC!!

[@markvanderstelt8999]

wow that was you ?

[@ricshaffer4009]

I had several friends who went through the exact same thing ...I went to several of his concerts..taking different friends to each always high energy

[@mikejones-qk2ou]

"Tonight I'm Yours" is my favorite!

[@DavidJacobsvo]

Now hold on a minute, give me a dime so I can call my mother is the funniest line ever

[@Laura_Martin42]

I love this man! He is one of the few I cared enough to see in concert. I had a t-shirt with the Do You Think I'm Sexy album cover on the front and my name on the back! Maggie May was one of my Mom's favorite songs.

[@rodthebodfromcanada]

So many rock artists went through a disco phase in the 70's (KISS, Rolling Stones, Blondie). Turned off a lot of fans at the time, but in retrospect they turned out to be some of their biggest hits.

[@renedavids6154]

Still sounds great today, catchy song

[@elausente21]

I believe someone responded, but it's called Splicing back when all was recorded in tape.. now, punching and other modern techniques can be possible in the digital world, during the editing process

[@rparret]

Great. I listened to a lot of Stewart on the radio in the 70s and 80s. Great reaction, Maggie.

[@theodoreritola7641]

This song came out in 1978 Though..

[@ArlynMeylan-jo7hq]

Boy when it came out I played it over and over 😊

[@gavinholt5428]

the chorus was used by N-trance in the 90s. You can listen to almost anything by Rod but you need to hear Maggie May, and some of my personal favourites - Young Turks, Killing of Georgie, I am Sailing or Tonight's the Night.

[@rebeccamay6420]

"Splicing" comes to mind when copy-pasting a length of vocals/music into another section of a recording.

[@ericzeichert511]

In the era of reel to reel tape, bulk erasers, and cuts to the tape and our fingers...ahhhh good times, Now you can do it all on a pc with no paper cuts involved.

[@rebeccamay6420]

@ericzeichert511 It kind of tickles my brain when we use terminology that used to be literal and tactile -- dial a phone number, hang up the phone, filming a video, taping or rolling footage, "reels," cut and paste, splicing -- for what technology can do without using the physical objects from times past. These words have gone from literal-physical to conceptual-effect.

[@kallsop2]

The model in this video is Lillian Müller from Norway. She started out as a Page 3 model for The Sun, was a Playboy Centerfold and Playmate Of The Year in 1976. She also was in Van Halen's Hot For Teacher video as the Phys Ed teacher. This song was so popular without the video in 1978. The video was actually banned or edited for the US because it was too racy for the late 70's. Still enjoy the song today. It was a good crossover song between dance, disco and contemporary/Billboard Top 100 radio stations.

[@vampfashions]

It was amazing that some music videos were banned for being too racy at the same time the Blacksploitation movies and the explosion of mainstream porn was happening. The 70s were crazy, only killed by disco lol, and then the shallowness and greed and drugs of the 80s.

[@thrusta100]

Always thought it was Britt Eklund???..

[@glennpalmer9167]

Have seen him live not to long ago ... the man is a god ... he is that good even now as an older man

[@coyotej4895]

"Forever young" and "Rhythm of my heart" are amongst my all-time favorites right up there with Angelina Jordan and a couple others for pure and simple music that has good messaging and fun bouncy beets.

[@plantlord3266]

classic 80's rock he was all over radio and MTV during this time-his voice was unique.

[@theodoreritola7641]

This was the late 70s though ...

[@COTOHAXX]

Rod is a legend. Nothing to say.

[@Royal_BLT]

🇨🇦 We BOOMERS never did wimp out, never shy away from a challenge ! We sang what we felt ! 🇨🇦

❤

[@andreaebeling6320]

I remember him from my childhood. I love that raspy voice of his! I 😊

[@cattewest]

This was THE pick up song in bars back in the day. Back when casual sex was an indoor (sometimes) sport.

[@timbong1871]

U could pick a different song every day for two months and still have more to listen to.

[@roykilgour9790]

It's so funny to see young people today reacting to real singers from the 70s and 80s when singers could really sing wondering how they could sound like that. He had that hoarse voice constantly while he was singing and actually also when he was talking. There is nothing fake or contrived about his voice. It is his constant voice. 

[@theodoreritola7641]

This was the late 70s though ..

[@sonjarussell7332]

My generations *BEST* crooner.

[@jesseheiman1806]

Every once in a while, I have to remind myself how much older I am than you. Throughout the entire decade of the 70's and much of the 80's, you could not turn on a Top 40 radio station and not hear a Rod Stewart song. This song came out in the late 70's during the height of the Disco Era. At this point, you could almost put any song to a disco beat and have a dance hit with it. Personally, I really like his "Every Picture Tells a Story" album (that is the one with Maggie Mae on it) as some of his best work. I spent a good part of my first 2 years of college listening to that album. Rod Stewart has a huge catalogue of music out there for you to listen to.

[@leehanson1416]

Cut and Paste. In the old days, they would literally take a razor blade to the tape and splice a recording of the 1st chorus into the space for the 2nd and 3rd.

[@vampfashions]

Song has been viral for 45+ years and everyone is shocked they think they recognize some parts of it...

[@unholyrc7596]

This song was recorded on analog tape, there was no protools.

[@roachpole1]

Sailing is another great song he did

[@stuartfaulds1580]

Rod has an unique smoky singing voice.

[@Azabaxe80]

About this song. This came out in a period after the introduction of over the counter contraception and before the onset of AIDS. It may sound hokey now, but there was a sense at that time that whatever you were into, you could do it without any kind of repercussions. Not quite free, but close enough if you wanted to be noncommittal. This attitude ( _if you really want me, let me know_ ) worked for both men and women. Now, I realize that I may sound like I'm romanticizing this era and, given that I was not around at the time, I may come across as ridiculous as Stewart's pants look, but that's how I make sense of this. Today this is all a meme, of course. The backing band here included percussion legend Carmine Appice, who's been around forever and has played with everybody from Sly Stone to Ted Nugent to Stanley Clark to Pink Floyd. The bassist is Jamaican Phil Chen, who almost as prolific as Appice, having worked with people as disparate as Bob Marley, Pete Townshend and Joan Armatrading. That was a kick-ass band. Stewart was always a remarkable vocalist. One of the three pre-eminent rock singers of the 70s (Robert Plant and Paul Rodgers being the other two), he had more soul than most in that genre, and later on in life turned into a crooner showing more effective stylistic range than most of his contemporaries. I'm not saying that he or either Plant or Rodgers to be clear, were in the league of people like Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway or Luther Vandross, but he sure was a live wire back then. The process you're describing at 12:30 is a something prevailing in digital recording, where you don't do "takes", but rather perform bits of songs, sample them, and place them wherever you choose in the digital file. This song was recorded in 1978, and even with multitrack recording, you still had to record to tape, and if a "take" wasn't satisfactory, other one was recorded either over the same track or on a separate one. Then you choose the take you like. All the takes were singular, and rarely ever did you have composites. Stewart was a remarkable vocalist able to provide take after take of remarkably consistent performances, making composites unnecessary. None of this, as frivolous as the song itself might have been, is cheating.

[@julieanderson6463]

A shout out to Carmine Appice is so welcome!

[@Royal_BLT]

🇨🇦 Rod always sounded this Raspy, even in school, my Wife said ! 🇨🇦

[@matthewhope3664]

researching 'Do you think I'm sexy?, let's google insertion........Oh no!! 😮😂

[@IMEveryTrueAmericanRU]

Raspy yes, and a great song on Saturday night at the roller rink when this was just released. We all knew the words the boys and the girls and of course we all had a place to go ;)

[@davidsweet9163]

It was called drop in. Basically it was cut and paste. But that was the days of tape recorders. So they would use what was called a sync track to trigger the other tape player with the background vocals to turn on It was more precise than you might think. But in t

[@mikenolan8044]

From the Disco era, late 1970s. Everybody was putting out at least one song in this style, Blondie, Rolling Stones, McCartney, Diana Ross and of course the BeeGees went whole hog on it. 🪩 Good song, good reaction!

[@coachjdc]

wow, did not remember that Carmine Appice drummed for Rod. His brother Vinny played for Dio.

[@MRxMADHATTER]

This is classic 70s dico era music. ❤🤍💙

[@kenkonwick6660]

This is definitely the studio recording pasted onto a video

[@stephendouglas75]

another good song from is passion

[@nelerhabarber5602]

Love this song and Rods voice. Try Tonights the night and I don`t want to talk about it and All for one together with Sting and bryan Adams!

[@TerryWeir-d4g]

Hi Maggie, Rod Stewart is still alive and well and going strong at the age of 82,He's also a big soccer fan, He's a big Glasgow Celtic fan, like myself 😄😄

[@leftcoaster67]

He has a lot of great songs, this is the disco era. If you listen to his Faces stage in the early 70's and the and Every Picture Tells A Story album is killer.

[@lnytita6763]

Happy to see this one... haven't heard it in a minute! 😁 pressed play just as I started washing dishes 💃 sure made chore-time fun🤙

[@rickthestiks9240]

we always learn something on the internet, RODERICK,, a another hit from him is🎶 (passion)🎶

[@mitchblackmore5230]

Fun fact: I'm from Toronto. I'm 54 years old. Toronto has every year, a thing called the Canadian National Exhibition (the CNE) that lasts for 2 weeks at the end of August. It had a bunch of fun rides and various other things. Not sure if they still do this, but one of the big things was a big concert on the last day. Anyway, I'm about 10 years old at the time, and I'm walking around the grounds with my mom. I'm noticing all these 'old women' dressed all provocative with lots of makeup etc. I don't know how many years later that it clicked, but at some point I saw that the concert that night was Rod Stewart and that's why these women were there. All these 'cougars' getting tarted up to go to the Rod Stewart concert.

[@VIDSTORAGE]

Rod was a open mouth sleeper and it dried his throaty out and he was the rasppy guy forever

[@jamiemahoney2446]

Cannot watch this without thinking of the Kenny Everett sketches.

[@Lonejustice1]

They used to make videos for promotion in Europe. And, he was probably practicing for the upcoming tour.

[@cherylsmith3291]

Valhala Calling by Voiceplay is amazing.

[@billsager5634]

Rod Stewart, Chris Norman (Smoky), Dan McCafferty (Nazareth) all had a natural rasp, as does Bonnie Tyler for female singers. All of them produced some great music. Well worth the dive.

[@gbsailing9436]

More Rod Stewart: "The Killing Of Georgie Pt 1&2."

[@netazzz6815]

"In A Broken Dream" is my favorite song by him, so beautiful! A few more good ones: I Don't Want to Talk About It, Baby Jane, The First Cut is the Deepest , Maggie May, Sailing, All for Love (with Bryan Adams and Sting)

[@TheOriginalDavidBrock]

Hi Maggie! Diana Ankudinova is 20 now. I don;t think that you will quite believe her voice now. She sang a duet on New Years canlled "The Day You..." Brandon Stone, the composer accompanied her. I think you will find her following interested in your reaction. Be well.

[@robertbeckler5058]

Thanks Roy

[@JIMAbercrombie-wu3pg]

Rod singing "The Motown" song is the best

[@laurelnotley9541]

This is so old, I'm not sure if you'd see the comment. I suggest you listen to "Every Picture Tells a Story," that's Rod Stewart with his band Faces. Also what do you think of Traffic and " Low Spark of High Heeled Boys." But I dont think there's a video to that.

[@mitchellbatchelor1594]

Rod gained fame with Jeff Beck, but his musical career with The Faces & his simultaneous solo career were rocking fun. Early 80’s enjoyed him on the radio, but never purchased any new LPs.

[@justitia257]

Very Nice...Great Rod

[@rickthoma6428]

Tonight"s the Night

[@oscarXFN]

Fun Fact: this song is a plagiarism of Taj Mahal by the Brazilian artist Jorge Ben. Rod Stewart eventually confessed and they came to an agreement. The royalties were donated to Unicef

[@joniroberta1950]

A few of my favorites from his Songbook albums are The Way You Look Tonight, Beyond The Sea, What a Wonderful World (with Stevie Wonder), Manhattan (with Bette Midler), I've Got a Crush On You (with Diana Ross)

[@chrisofnottingham]

Probably the best known and least representative song of his :-)

[@jonstreng7850]

His best song, his last, is Forever Young in 1991.

[@jeanpierrestlaurent5453]

You are cool Maggie Rene

[@glennstach4439]

Using the Album version onto the Video !!! 👍🏿👍🏽👍✌🏼🖖🍁🌻💛💙

[@nicholashylton6857]

A lot of people are getting flashbacks of nights at disco and roller rink right now. 🙂 My mum had a HUGE crush on him! I once heard he was drunk when filming the video. Really sloshed. Apparently, whe looks away from the camera it's because he couldn't remember the line.

[@NigelThompson-hb5jg]

If you want the true Stewart rasp, I would suggest you listen to 'In a Broken Dream' by a group called 'Python Lee Jackson'. There is a very good joke version of this done by a guy called Kenny Everett on youtube. He and Rod were great friends and Kenny did this on his TV show as a tribute.

[@walidfilan2998]

Kisten to this newest song by ALAN WALKER features OUTRI ARIANI the Indonesian lady who participated in American Got Talent and won the prize WOW what a song

[@bgt54rfvcde32wsxzaq1]

YOU BETTER PUT SOME RESPECT ON ROD STEWART'S NAME! His Song Quality Is From Hard Work. You Read His Biography. Started Off Singing On Street Corners For $1 A Day. He Traveled The United States In The 60's For $10 A Day Performing At Teenage Sock Hops. I Was Present For One

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

Cut & Paste ?

[@sheldonlamey7010]

His speaking voice is different from His singing voice....react to that show where the TV host pick up celebrities in an SUV and sing their songs as they drive around sometimes they pick up more celebrities ... Rod's episode was so cool its on KZbin

[@sheldonlamey7010]

P.S I didn't know He was English until I watched the clip I told you about.

[@redoctober00]

+1 for a reaction to 'All for One' - Sting, Rod Stewart & Bryan Adams.. love that song.

[@renedavids6154]

Great artist, still active. Once a member af The Faces. He's got a song with the name Maggie May, almost your name. Bonnie Tyler had also a nice raspy voice.

[@gary17509]

Splicing. It was the manual way of editing music, commercials (or spots) back in the day...

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT should be the next reaction to Rid Stewart. Also, STAY WITH ME, INFATUATION, MAGGIE MAE, and HOT LEGS. Enjoy

[@cdgee6399]

NO PUNCHING IN! That's a modern digital technique. This was TAPE SPLICING.

[@jpcantrell1]

I think you're referring to copy & paste a clip. There was NO such technology back then....audio was recorded on tape. You have only known music in the "digital" age....this was in the analog era. There were no computer programs to move sections of a song.

[@MarkHooton-xh1oq]

Try doing a reaction to his song Passion. It was also an awesome classic.

[@shanemartin8904]

PUNCH Is the term

[@magnuslofgren2441]

Right Said Fred had a hit in the 90's called: I'm Too Sex, right? Salt-N-Pepa had a song called: Lets talk about Sex in the end of 80's, or beginning of the 90's...

[@ericzeichert511]

It goes without saying that you have to hear Maggie May. However be careful that he is on some sort of world tour when you review it so you limit the danger of stalking him. Just kidding...sort of. Forever Young is also great, and the Great American songbook of standard covers is a genuine trip.

[@markvanderstelt8999]

He was at his best in the group Faces the other stuff is ok .

[@jutukka]

Try song called Sailing next time.

[@elausente21]

That's a gorgeous song... the mesmerizing version is the live one from the 1986 Prince's Trust Gala, with Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler in guitars, Elton in piano and other stars...

[@SherMusician]

We just sang it no rehearsal at a jam

[@mikegoodwin2386]

11:11 punch in 12:12 yes, punching in I'm pretty sure that's the term you're looking for, but punching in is usually to fix a botched part, word or a line that you want to re-record in an otherwise great track, you just punch in that one part rather than doing the whole thing over.

[@mikegoodwin2386]

Someone in your live comments apparently said something very similar. Lori?
