Highly underrated when it was released, it has only been in recent years been given the credit it deserved and is arguably one of the greatest songs Slade ever produced. Noddy's vocal delivery is stunning with a deeply moving soulful melancholy interspersed with the great rasping power he was so famous for. It was such a different and unique song from anything the band had done before. It is a timeless masterpiece and certainly one of the best songs of the seventies.

Привіт з України! Вперше почув цю пісню в далекому 1975 році, на дні народження близького друга, вона була хітом того вечора! До сих пір це один з шедеврів виконаних неповторимим Нодді

Loved Slade in the 1970s then many years later discovered that one of my best friends grew up in Wolverhampton and went out with Noddy ... she always said he was lovely and when she died, far too young a few months ago, her family played a Slade track at the celebration...makes me think of her every time I listen to it. What an underrated group...these are all classics

I have lived in Wolverhampton all my life and was a big Slade fan in my teens. I went to most of their gigs and i have to say that this song is one of my favourites, it was taken from the film that they made called Flame. I went to see the film a few times when it was at the cinema. Not the greatest film in the world but when i was a teen and crazy about Slade it was brilliant. So sorry to hear of your loss.

Slade are far from underrated. They are unarguably the greatest group that came out of the Glam Rock era next to T-Rex, and several of their hits entered the charts at No.1, the first band to do so since The Beatles. Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend who went out with Noddy, but I'm glad you played a Slade song at her wake. Long live Noddy & Co.

To me this performance rather highlights his limitations as a singer. What would have been much more interesting was him replacing Bon Scott in AC/DC. That may well have happened if it wasn't for Slade's glam image. I'm saying that not because I think he would have been better than Brian Johnston. I'm just saying he was better suited to that sort of music than he was to ballads.

I wish more young people were listening. If only the current crop of aspiring artists understood where music comes from. Not from computers, that's for sure. It was never meant to be that way. Find your inspiration from the feeling you get from playing a genuine instrument. Get good at it and find other people who have done the same. Create something magical. Like Slade did. Real music needs to circle back around. ☮️
