not inconsiderable margin. It would seem that nowadays, "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" is more popular with the general record-buying public than "Merry Xmas Everybody".
Woody - split from his evil brother Billy Connolly as a mere infant!, destined at a later date to rule the earth when they eventually discover the truth of their lineage - using their superhuman powers of comedy and multi instrumentalism!
well this is just Brilliant,im back to the 70s every time i play it and as im going through a divorce and its great to take me back to happier times, thanks for putting it on.......
@bohsgerry To the best of my knowledge, Wizzard were never considered a semi-teds' band - they were a GLAM ROCK group. (As indeed were Mud - for the most part.) I suppose Showaddywaddy could have been described as a semi-teds band, although labels like that are arbitrary - and not particularly precise.
Wizzard's chart-topping single from September of 1973 - "Angel Fingers" - was a classic of the genre (glam rock), and was WAY superior to 95% of punk rock hits (IMHO, at any rate).
Back to the halcyon days of glam rock ...... when teenage hard-nuts and wideboys wore flared trousers, kipper ties and grew mutton-chop sideburns.
"Angel Fingers" was - and remains - a great track. It is right up there with singles like "Metal Guru" (Bolan), "Mama Weer All Crazee Now (Slade) and "Tiger Feet (Mud) in the pantheon of classic glam rock hits from the 1972 - '75 era.
@angliaknightident I have never been a supporter of the Conservative Party - and I hope that I never will be (!) - but I have the greatest respect for Sir Edward Heath (G.R.H.S.). He was - imho - the only Tory politician of his generation who cared about ordinary working-class people and the unemployed.
Another thing that I liked about Sir Edward was the fact that he had very real "issues" (as they say in modern parlance) with that arrogant b*****d, Margaret Hilda Thatcher.
Excellent. Roy Wood was a very talented singer/songwriter, and made a big impact on the music scene between 1967 and '75. During that period of time, he had MANY Top 10 hits; firstly as a member of The Move, and later as the 'mainman' of Wizzard. He also had a couple of big solo hits, as I recall.
"Angel Fingers" - which topped the charts in September of 1973 - was one of the classic singles of the 'glam rock' era. When Mr Wood recorded this inspired single, he out-Spectored Spector.
By the way, did you know that Mr Wood's vintage [1973] album "Wizzard Brew" is currently available on digitally remastered CD? It contains several 'bonus' tracks not contained on the original album, including the superlative "See My Baby Jive" and the immaculate, Spectoresque "Angel Fingers".
roy wood accomplished so many great things then he just went pop rock......i have a hard time eeing the appeal of this on anything but a very shallow level.....fellow move bandmate lynne not only made it bigger than wood with with elo, but (in my estimation) created far moe artistically redeeming music.....i really wish wood and lynne could have made it work out.
Clearly wearing his Phil Spector jones on his sleeve here; sounds like something Phil would've cooked up for the Shangri-las. Roy was a good singer. Glitter rock looked unique on a bearded face.
Being from the u.s.I have to say this is the wierdest band I have ever seen! The music is up there with early Sweet, T-Eex-Slade, Glitter etc.I loved that whole British glam era But Wizzad ??
I feel sorry for the modern generation as I went to the disco's in the 70's and this was my time, so glad all the younger generation can see what real talent is instaed of the "Generated Talent" of the X factor age.
What a man, brings me back to London and all the good music in the 70ts. Am a great fan and just love, Move, Elo, Wizzard, Eddie and the Falcons, Wizzo, hang in there Roy.
@Unterscharfuhrer Bill Hunt (ex ELO) was on keyboards and the guy who looks like Hughie is Rick Price (ex Move), atually Hugh Mcdowell was a member of Wizzard too, but i think he left the line up before this video was made
My God is that wonderful.... First live gig I ever went to was 'Wizzard'.. Feb 1974 at the Glasgow Apollo. Looking back after all those decades and countless stunning gigs later, it makes me more than a little proud that Roy Wood broke my duck. Genius!!!!
i was 12 years old when this came out still sounds good now i am 48 now takes me back to my school days wizzard slade david bowie mud and so on great bands still been played now
I never noticed it bedfore, but Roy was far and away the ugliest pop star of the 70s. A great artiste, but pug ugly (like half of the Glitter Band, who were another fantastic band).
Lynsey de Paul didn't seem to mind, although for such an attractive girl she chose Wood, Ringo Starr and James Coburn for her partners. Maybe something about opposites attracting.
@Glenn1967ful You seem to be implying that Mr Wood, Mr Starr and Mr Coburn are ugly gentlemen ...... and that, even when they were young and in their prime, they were never good-looking guys.
That is somewhat harsh, I feel - and, what is more, there are a great many women (literally millions, I should think) who would disagree with your view that these 3 celebrities are physically unprepossessing people.
Omg!! I was about 9 when this was out. And absolutely "LOVED" Wizzard! Seeing this again has taken me right back there! This guy is soooo underated its criminal!
Roy Wood was brilliant in The Move and instrumental in setting up ELO,but it didnt work so Wizzard was created and ELO went there way with Jeff Lynne......all three groups leave a musical legacy.
As we see here Wizzard was not only a group by Roy Wood. Bill Hunt was a real showman ! And Hunt was also very important part in recording. For example arrangements of the brass were made together by Wood and Hunt.
An.gel Fingers was another classic Wizzard song and got to No 1, for one week though. The guy with the Angel wings is Mr Bill Hunt and has gone back to teaching music in schools
The wonderful Woodie is doing concerts with Status Quo as a Special Guest in their UK tour but only in December 2009 - check it out - seats are selling fast!
angel fingers didnt even made the charts in australia but interesting though see my baby jive entered the charts the same month as angel fingers was released in the uk see my baby jive only made it to number eight on the australian charts that year
Hmm. Not bad, point taken. But if drummers with great hair are your thing, check out the Grand Funk Railroad. "Inside Looking Out" or "We're An American Band" should do the trick (they're great songs, if nothing else). Tell me that gravity-defying afro isn't the best hairstyle on a drummer (or anyone) in history.
Oh dear, this reminds me of the late 1970s when John Conrad and Scott Reppert were among Fairmont's top deejays...who could forget the legendary Bill Coogle?

Queen failed in Somebody to love to
create a fine song after Bohemian Rhapsody.
But Roy Wood and Wizzard did a fine job
in this after See My Baby Jive.

Phil Spector is the sound of this song. But Wizzard was a very special group.
