Who Do You Think You Are? (Candlewick Green)

Great song by the British group Candlewick Green from 1973.

[@samuelglass6805]

This sounds SO MUCH like a Todd Rundgren tune!

[@Viv1398]

[@aladdinsane4345]

I still have this single

[@vector8310]

Fantastic collection of glamour shots

[@kevinwhite616]

Wonderful vocal.

[@johnlewis9158]

a very underrated song

[@markjackson3992]

One of my Brothers all time favourite songs of the wonderful 70s, he talks about this Band / this song all the time and the memories it holds and not too mention those fantastic nights out they all had in the 1970s "Wow" driving about in their 3Ltr Capri,s and RS2000 Escorts etc, and all the other finest cars of the day ! I was lucky I tagged along for many a year!Some one said below somewhere you cant turn the clock back - but can we try !!!!

[@bungeditin5650]

Great stuff, Thanks for posting pam!

[@QueenAmethyst55]

This is my favourite version of the song.

[@zenileon]

Saint Etienne did a cracking version.

[@tweetypie25]

I agree they did, both versions top class music!!!

[@zenileon]

@Joe you know what I mean.......

[@shiroibasketshoes]

@Joe Well, at least sung well by Sarah Cracknell.

[@rabsmiff]

TOTAL BABES in this video---excellent choices of classy dames.

[@ROH1897]

Judy is still alive, and lives a quiet life in Somerset, South West England.

[@keithbrain48]

still got the 7" single on vinyl. still sounds great.

[@caitieimray1226]

Haha>>> mine's signed! xxxx

[@Edman910]

Love this catchy pop song --still think its better than the version by Jigsaw. Candlewick Green were a very good pop comedy band --very polished I seem to remember , happy days...

[@longboarder771]

I certainly will! I am just about to look at these clips from Les Bicyclettes, I do not think I have ever seen this film although I do rememember the song of the same name by Engelbert Humperdinck, Judy Huxtable was certainly a stunner as are all the other ladies in this clip, I sometimes wonder why women of today do not look as beautiful as these? Thanks for the info.

[@jimmchale7348]

Loved the kids tv programme of the same name.

[@markjolley3768]

That was camberwick green !!! Not candlewick!!

[@stevecampbell6294]

Great song from 1973.

[@leadchick]

Had no idea there were so many versions of this song. Candlewick Green does a great job with it, as does Jigsaw. I grew up watching Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods live because they played weekly at Busch Gardens years ago. I got to meet and hang out with them for months, back in the day. aaaah memories . I loved Mike Gibbons voice and would like to find out about them now? any suggestions?

[@countdown2xstacy]

leadchick I believe Mike Gibbons and Rick Jostwick have both passed away

[@aragorn1959]

Wonderful montage of these Hollywood babes . Didn't this group win opportunity knocks in the early 70s? Underrated group ! This was in the year of my GCSEs . Feel old !! Thanks for the memory ma'am

[@caitieimray1226]

They broke Hughie Green's clapometer week after week after week (maybe 10?) Got to No 21 in the charts. The drummer / lead is my Uncle xxx

[@Number9s]

GCEs? 1973 O'levels?

[@johnflorentino9126]

forgot how good some of the music was, too bad we can't turn back the clock

[@Viv1398]

Indeed.

[@Topper954]

Terry Remember Pontins South Devon 1969? TOPPER

[@Sarasdad91]

3 bands from the 70s did this song. It was written by Des Dyer from Jigsaw, and Jigsaw did a version that this one was copied from, and although I love Jigsaw's version, I like this version a little better than Jigsaw's. However Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods did a version that I think is the best of the 3.

[@countdown2xstacy]

Sarasdad91 Tim I agree Bo Donaldson’s version was the best of the 3

[@NotTesting123]

@@countdown2xstacy Me too. :)

Their roadie was my neighbor but we lost contact when he joined the Bhagwan movement in the late 1970's.

Hi Topper, es I remember it well and stuillgot the "photo's" Kind regards Terry

[@drstevie]

Fab.

[@stevenkegg5064]

perfect pop

[@peterturley2960]

Tony Scott and Phil Dyer composition- original Jigsaw, with more than a hint of Tony Burrows!!

[@theterrywebb]

Peter Turley it was Clive Scott and Des Dwyer who wrote and played on the origin version which was released on a jigsaw album but allowed Candlewick Green to release it as a single first because both groups were with the same management. I am flattered you compared my vocals to Tony Burrows who was/ is an unbelievable singer. Terry Webb the vocalist on the Candlewick Green version.

[@caitieimray1226]

Spot on!

[@roellassche1403]

One of the big one's in the UK: and so accurate...hahah

[@edsonmagalhaes5063]

Está é uma das preferidas

[@elainewilson1960]

Loved this song and version, but also loved Jigsaws version, well they did write it

[@GregAParker]

Can anyone tell me if Judy Huxtable is still alive and how she is doing? I just saw clips of her for the first time on KZbin's "Les Bicyctettes De Belsize." She has eyes that make you lose your breath. Where can I learn more about her? Thanks for your help, if you can.

[@longboarder771]

mei1nda12ax7 I cannot be absolutely sure but I think that the woman at 1:51 is the actress Britt Eckland.

[@john111257]

original by jigsaw..written by them..

[@shanebain5178]

Thanks John for answering my question, I had first heard it by Candlewick Green, and asked the question on another page😊😊

[@caitieimray1226]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candlewick_Green... you are correct. Written by 2 members of Jigsaw and covered at a later date. They turned down "January', which was late released by Pilot. Broke Hughie Green's Clapometer, week after week! I'd love to reconnect with Alan, as he is my Uncle xxx

[@rcpinsa]

74 actually

[@Pamfino2]

I presume you're referring to the date of release of this version of the song. To the best of my knowledge it was released on 28 December 1973. It states only 1973 on my original vinyl copy of the single.

[@rcpinsa]

You are correct, it charted in 74 my error

[@lukehallinan9966]

Were these on Opportunity Knocks?

[@chrissegura3983]

this song has been lifted by so many bands. the first is almost a direct lift. "Fool If You Think It's Over" by Chris Rea: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ7cemN_f9KHorM

[@thegrumpyoldman6195]

Are they still playing

[@MrThelad55]

only now and again

[@countdown2xstacy]

Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods version was the best of the 3

[@WinstonTexas829]

Could be from Runt!

[@Zehbron]

Did Candlewick Green rip off the instrumental and backing vocal tracks from the original version by Jigsaw? They sure sound the same!

[@0605denise]

Zehbron I saw this on Jigsaw's version before I decided to check this one out...I prefer Jigsaw's and Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods...: Uploaded on Apr 24, 2009 Who do You Think You Are is a song written by Des Dyer of Jigsaw . The band released their version as a single in a few European countries but not in their native UK where they allowed band Candlewick Green to record a version ( they shared the same management ) and it was a 1974 top 30 hit single for them. In the USA the song was recorded and was a hit single for Bo Donaldson and The Heywoods . The Candlewick Green arrangement is virtually identical to the original Jigsaw version although I think the hook line of the Jigsaw version is more powerful. It has in recent years been recorded by Saint Etienne Music"Who Do You Think You Are" by Jigsaw (Google Play • eMusic • iTunes • AmazonMP3)CategoryMusicLicenseStandard KZbin License

[@0605denise]

Thanks! I do believe I read that somewhere...

[@elainewilson1960]

Jigsaw wrote the song but allowed Candlewick Green to release it in 1973, Jigsaw released here in the UK 1974

[@paulharmon557]

Great slides. Not the best transfer on audio. The solo voice has a troubling flutter that wasn't there in the original.

[@Edwin99ization]

Not British, they are ENGLISH !

[@gusmorrison4100]

Yeah keep them. We have Paolo Nutini, Emeli Sandé and Calvin Harris in Scotland
