Hazel O'Connor. Will You

[MrBulldogtools]

Remember this classic well,we had TOTP back then,The Tube also,where are the music programmes now that keep us informed like they did?.Not a clue whats in the charts from one week to the next nowadays.

[BritishExtremeMetal]

Or will you just politely take a shite?

[ChristianDeathInJune]

... this was the first time, i remember i was about 10 years old and understand what she sings, when i heared a song and tears leaving me; god damned good memories; i will never forget !!!

[SgtRon1805]

I would like to add Dick Parry playing sax on 'Money' to the list of great sax players of the 70's. One of the greatest tracks by Pink Floyd on Dark Side Of The Moon.

THE BEST OF 80

[renaud2du77]

will you trop top

[marccas10]

Not many people know that the actual session sax player was Ted Rodgers of 3-2-1 fame!

[SheRockeve]

a feckin classic.....long live the 80ties (music-wise not fashion-wise ;-)

[alirobs2]

No .............. its the same guy who played the sax for Gerry Rafferty songs !

[petals120]

is this actually Wesley Magoogan playing his sax during this performance?

[johnnyreggea]

@petals120: It is Wesley for shure !

He was the best ever, better then Charlie.

[didsnuggit]

@petals120 your right it is wesley magoogan, his sax playing ended when he had an accident with a curcular saw and lost part of his hand

[nikicolbert]

Awsome song!! 80s were the best!

[BESTICANDODUDE]

What's this got to do with Electric Bikes?!

[hellllllllll10]

BORING 

[fahrenheit032]

@hellllllllll10 ....oh.... another Justin Beiber fan staying up late with the adults

[hellllllllll10]

[tiasky2477]

[perkinsj28]

wow blast from my youth Great song

[dbless888]

Real shame about the Sax player Wesley but he gave a Sax solo to remember.

[popecafe]

represents teenage angst perfectly.

[robertlonzo]

beautiful



[Draxindustries1]

Great song and even if you dont like it that sax is enough to make anyones spine tingle, brilliant..

[DutchDeadboy]

Hazel is still performing and the young lady that has taken over sax duties is another force to be reckoned with. Vocals Hazel O'Conner, Guitar Neil O'Conner, Keyboards Andy (ROOTS) Kunta ,Drums Ed Case, Sax Wesley McGoogan, Bass Steve ..........,

all in one road crew ME!

[GriefTourist]

anyone know if she wrote this?

[MsFanmail]

@GriefTourist i think hazel wrote it about her relationship with midge ure

[2008Sameoldfitup]

ROY WEST

[mindwarp162]

She looks a helluva lot like that ginger kid in eastenders

[thfcberba]

The sax break on this is the mutts nuts and the little drum break too-quality song ..thanks for posting

[Feisty1967]

Often used as incidental music on Not the Nine 'O' Clock News.

[joolz401]

what a magical voice and song 

[IqbalHamid]

Where is she now? Still performing I wonder?

[craignotts10]

nice song

[peaceman1234567]

Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty also had a well decent sax solo in that

[dfarmbrough]

It's such a shame that Jonathan Price didn't really play the saxophone on this! ;-)

[211Woodie]

@dfarmbrough Wesley MacGoogan was the Saxophonist... often imitated but never bettered.. I've never heard anyone play this Sax Solo this well. I can just close my eyes and drift away. Play it over and over..

[dfarmbrough]

@211Woodie I agree.

[TheMrLusk]

wAS IN THE fILM bREAKING gLASS AS A KID. wAS IN THE CROWD at the Rainbow Theatre. Which was owned by my uncle all through the 70's and 80's. Miss it

[midianholic]

Magnificent.

[hitsh62]

Awesome saxophone solo. 

[caxtonman]

Great voice and the best sax solo ever! Her unique singing style beats the 'warbling' or her contemporaries nowadays and she deserves to have some songs written for her at this present moment in time. I was only 12 when this came out!!!

[JonetaDonsa]

Best place to find Asian women busizz4me.info

[theseatonslicer]

That twat at the front wants to stop blowing smoke at Hazel fgs!!

[vickibarwood]

The Hazel O'Connor Collective feat. various artists are releasing a fund raising Xmas single on 6th December with proceeds to Myton Hospices ... Google ' facebook hazel o connor collective christmas single launch party ' for more info :)

[reebokblokey]

Been playing this track a lot lately, so beautiful x

[apolloton1]

"Will you" by Hazel O'connor and "baker street" by Gerry Rafferty are the greatest sax songs of the late 70's and early 80's,but possibly of all time..Hauntigly brilliant stuff!!

[petad]

I've seen her recently playing this song but without sax and with a harp and percussion drums ...still love her

[MsFanmail]

love this song not like the crap they play these day. 1980s music is better than todays.

[nik1969100]

Never been a great fan of the sax but here it is so hauntingly brilliant.

[MsFanmail]

What a g8 song bring back the eighties

[deansusky]

wonderfulllolllllllll  daysssssssssssss

[MrsCarribell]

OMG OMg - amazing what you can find on YOUtube - I was a v v v v happy 15 yr old standing right in front vof Hazel for the whole TOTP taping - I lurved her - still do -and spent the whole time chatting to her rather than watching the other bands!

[1LindseyLee]

who has cried into their pillow to this song or am I just showing my age?

[Pixiewish44]

@1LindseyLee

more than once .. but maybe thats showing my age too ..

[mitchacus]

@1LindseyLee ..no we av all ad a little tear..

[kayrosx1]

fuckin love it!! best sax solo EVER!

[punkminchen]

this is just soooo wonderful. Brings back memories of snogging my to be husband for the first time.how very apt!!

[BADSIMONEMAD]

Absolutely brilliant song. Have always loved it and the sax solo is fab. top 80's tune.

[toecurler]

She is great as Dot Cotton in "Eastenders". I didn't know she sang as well!

[bubbledick]

@darren221968 hahahahah

[Callanan6969]

Hazel !!! You're as good today as ever were !!! Met you in The Lobby in Cork, Ireland a couple of years ago ... You're an amazing woman !!! John, Glanmire ...

[89musiclover]

meow

[seafox61]

memories of student bedsits circa 1980/81 and later... the angst and wondering of where it was all going.......what a song... and the best sax solo of all time.....brilliant. Thanks Hazel....

[szorial1]

PURE CLASS.......!!!!

[vixie72]

A beautiful love song wrote by Hazel about her complicated relationship with Midge Ure

[RasMajnouni]

They cut the balls out of this recording wesley magoogan sax

[Zmiffygal]

The Sax on this is excellent! Hazel did this song justice.

[antonyash17]

I just love these lyrics, so emotive.

[perryacp]

love this song so much i had this as my first dance at my wedding nearly 17years ago

[syntacky]

goose bumps indeed we all had a moment like this !

[eezy1972]

@syntacky Goosebumps indeed :-)

[madjoolie13]

wesley magoogan brill sax player, also wrote julie collins sons Talk Dirty Sure and re arranged Something by the beatles , google julie collins

[bellscourt]

geordieboy

I think Wesley Mcgoogans Alto playing is one of the best solos recorded, brings on the `goose bumps` even better on the full version. Great singing from Hazel as always

[tinac1962]

1980's, good music, oh happy days, i wanna go back

[ItzmineUbiatch]

@godparticle. what would you do?

[dan567161]

A fantastic song, but you can tell that wasnt live

[TheGodParticle]

christ, i'd give anything to go back to 1981

[Hantoria]

An interesting comment!!!! What was so great about 1981. Just curious, my friend. I was 10 years old at the time.

[AndyinMokum]

That sax should have a XXX rating!

[MrMercury1959]

it sends shivers up my spine that sax

[alanfacer]

This probably one of my favourite track of all time. The lovely Hazel Oconner and that beautiful alto sax solo. It doesn't get better than that.

[666Helen]

I was so lucky to see Hazel perform live at Glasto, it was one of my special moments in life. Thankyou :)

[bigbadscrew]

Time to dust down the LP in the attick and remember the good old 80's

[daddyofjames]

God she has a filthy mouth... !!

[leisali0203]

OMG i love this song !!! awesome

[mcqueeney]

Oh my god I forgot this existed, awesome!! thanks for posting it.

[comeintotheair]

Nothin beats the original song with this sax!!

i love you hazel

[dianeandwilson]
