Roger Daltrey - One Man Band

-1973 - Daltrey

[@richardporter7814]

Thank You Leo Sayer for this lovely song.

[@SHARKTIC5]

I bought this strong 🎼 Album. Fine purchase of mine. ❤️‍🔥🔥❤️‍🔥

[@pinkfreud62]

I fell in love with the Who after I saw the movie Tommy in the theaters. I was just 12 at the time, but I bought all their LPs and the solo ones, too. Always takes me back to simpler and more happy times.

[@JonasMcnab-ho6ii]

Great tune so many memories😂❤

[@f.frederickskitty2910]

My mom owned this on vinyl. I think I was 7 in 1974? I still remember this album's lyrics forward and backward.

[@ajshendo]

I am 51. When I hear this song it takes me back to being 14. That was the first time, I heard this song. I love youtube.

[@johnramsden8760]

Wow. Exactly my thoughts..

[@walkthenerd6948]

Watch leo sayers version

[@georgemansell]

I have memories of this album as a pre teen and beyond, thanks to my brother's record collection

[@johnpayne6860]

I don't forget either one of of these artists, damned shame, now. They'll nevertheless get the recognition they deserve, and thier prolific talent, will not be forgotten!

[@rjnuzzi1648]

When 'albums' were so well crafted, so conceptual, played & sung so strait

[@rjnuzzi1648]

Great first Roger Daltrey solo LP. Out of print... don't know why!?! The most beautiful cover photo, also used in Ken Russell's 'Tommy' film; Sally Simpson's wallpaper... Daltrey, great singer, long live!

no! How I going to replace my cassette, when it gets chewedm, Now!

[@alanac777]

Well what can I say, this is AC and Roger Daltrey totally rocks out! They dont make music like this anymore, never get sick of it! The tape has been in my car for 3 1/2 years and everytime I get it I just let it play.

[@andrewdean6963]

Thought they stopped putting tape decks in cars 30 years ago. I love cassettes but love my recent purchase of a Akai 4000ds open reel to reel machine.

[@briangoetz9814]

Thank you

[@emariemcc]

Never thought I would like anyone but Leo doing this song, but this is great

[@LIZZARD6000]

It's the music that makes me remember things from years ago!

[@stones911]

[@AnyoneCanSee]

I used to live on Ladbroke Grove when I first moved to London. Amazing how just the mention of it took me back.

[@palmeracallejera]

My family were all from around Ladbroke Grove and this one used to get hammered on the Garrard stereo gram by my dad.

[@palmeracallejera]

Last time I was there, the oo ooh look at the rain bit got stuck in my head.

[@Eric-mj9gf]

I love both versions.

[@357HFC]

Leo Sayer... very under rated songster.

[@MattHarpTV]

Yes he wrote this song, both are such underrated artists. Just found out about them recently and it upsets me that I havent heard of them sooner

[@bigmagic96]

Never heard this version before...... love Leo sayer's performance of it and this is nearly as good. Great song that will live forever.

[@eddyfinkful]

I have daltrey 1973 on cassette. Come back to it, time And again, even now, 40+ years? Must get the cd before its chewed up the tape deck!

[@davidbreeds6712]

Just to clarify some of these comments. Leo Sayer wrote this for Roger Daltry and only recorded his version a year after this one. So technically this is the original

[@hirdy6]

Right on David!

[@loxxovvoxxol2896]

Didn't know that.........kind of a d!ck move, right? I remember listening to Leo Sayer singing this song.....so for all i knew, that was the original (and, still the best.....nostalgia is powerful). Thanks for the info though....i'm now going to have to look into the history of this song a bit more - as surely, one doesn't just write a song for someone else, only to reclaim it, in the process virtually deleting the 'original' from existence. Strangest part....i clicked this link because the name seemed familiar......and i still am unsure of who Roger Daltry is, or why his name is familiar to me...

[@eddyfinkful]

Singer with the who.

[@immortelle3]

nevertheless I prefer Leo's version, Roger's voice does better with more power.

[@christian_traxler]

I see it the way You do.

[@malcolmr.yanceyjr.1165]

Thank you David. It's been so long since I heard that.

[@joesycamore2899]

Hard to say who did this better; Roger's voice is incredible but Leo's voice was passionate. A rare occurrence when two versions are equally good

[@sternej]

For me, Leo's is more emotional, so truer to the service of the song

[@vze4jt7f]

I can't recall ever hearing Leo's version but it must be incredible if it beats this! I will find it and see thanks!

[@jackbourgeois4153]

I agree 👍

[@Helo_rides_for_commies]

Leo Sayer was a clown.

[@johnshiels885]

I am 46, We were bought up on the album. My brother is 8 years older, And it was his 24 hour play list lol, That, and Ghost town, witch gave me nightmares at the age of 7 :-o lol Days i would love to relive.

El hombre orquesta, bien bien. Buenas vibras.

[@chiselset]

Long time since I heard R

[@rickheilman]

Help...I used to have "One of the Boys" by Roger and there was a country-western type song he did on it that I really liked and can not find it anywhere. It was done the way the Stones did "Far Away Eyes", or "Dead Flowers". I think it was a track on the same side as Avenging Annie.

[@GoodVibesAndi]

'Single Man's Dilemma' I think the song was called...

[@madbomberrichard1000]

It truly is a great version of the original...I like Rodger's version more than the original, but I am a die-hard Who fan. But I digress, this version brings back memories of when I was about 10

[@PhilSmithRHR]

Roger’s version is the original recording. Sayer co-wrote it but did not record it until about a year later.

[@carmeladestefano5976]

that's nice

[@theloiteringloiner5327]

Leo sayer wrote this song, and others for Roger Daltrey

[@peterkabrna]

Used to have this on vinyl with Ride a Rock Horse and the first 3 albums of Leo

[@bigmagic96]

[@wheelinthesky300]

Wonder why Roger never covered The Show Must Go On, for which he has the right voice and attitude.

[@Helo_rides_for_commies]

I wonder why Leo Sayer never covered Pinball Wizard.

[@pcno2832]

Wow. I don't know who wrote this or who did it first, but he makes it sound personal. Great job.

[@eddyfinkful]

[@emariemcc]

No Name Leo said he wrote it for Roger, then he performed it later. The two also sang it together. All great performances.

[@maphilli14]

@ajshendo bigger and better than youtube is the power of music!

[@porksword8]

Leo Sayer wrote this song for Daltrey but its Sayers version that everyone remembers. They are both very good versions though.

Everybody knows down Ladbroke Grove You have to leap across the street You can lose your life under a taxi cab You gotta have eyes in your feet You find a nice soft corner and you sit right down Pick up your guitar and play Then the police come and says move along So you move along all day I'm a one man band Nobody cares or understands Is there anybody out there who could lend a hand To my one man band? For three days now I haven't eaten at all My my I must be getting so thin Soon my cap won't be large enough To drop a half a crown in So hey there mister don't you look so sad Don't look so ill at ease I can play you any song you chose To cheer up the life you lead Oh I'm a one man band Nobody sees nor understands Is there anybody out there who could lend a hand To my one man band? And oh, oh, oh look at the rain falling Oh, oh, oh look at the rain Nobody hears the minstrel boy, as he sings his tale of woe Nobody sees him disappear And nobody sees him go So hey there mister don't look so sad Don't feel so ill at ease I can play you any song you chose To cheer up the life you lead Oh I'm a one man band Nobody sees nor understands Is there anybody out there who could lend me a hand To my one man band?

[@wheelinthesky300]

This is a good version, but Leo's is more somber, in line with the tone of the lyrics.

[@Jessievan68]

Cet album est génial et malheureusement introuvable. J'ai perdu mon exemplaire dans les déménagements successifs. Hope they remaster and propose it again one day!

Can anybody upload the song You are yourself from Roger Daltrey. Thanks a lot. Bas.

[@jeremyhawthorn9212]

The lyrics include reference to half a crown, a pre-decimal British coin worth an eighth of a pound sterling. but in 1973 these coins no longer had any value, so is the suggestion that the coin dropped in the hat is worthless?

Alan Partridge is a one man band.

[@Jimdixon1953]

9 years late but here goes....Alan Partridge’s version of this song absolutely nailed it, capturing the loneliness and vulnerability of the one man band. He did some great Kate Bush covers as well.

Wow, your video is impressive... makes me think of this bald multi-instrumentalist guy I often speak about, check him out, I instantly thought you should work do something with him (though it's a kinda new style, but I think it has potential, just as what you do)... he's on my channel

[@ozzy5150376]

the producer should have gotten more out of Roger, pushed him a little more, I am sure that he was intimidated by Roger's presence and didn't want to piss him off and fire him.
