  • This is great performance. Also, it was damn hypocritical the way King was treated. He was not an abuser in the sense that he forced his desires on boys. He claims they consented, they probably did. In the context of the liberal seventies it was acceptable. Gay people are accepted & no one has the right to say they are abnormal without threat. So why is it not normal to desire young men? Double standards. It is time for the restoration of Jonathan King.

  • Awesome version of this song. Kudos to you Jonathan for still rockin' on after all these years! It's great to see!

  • thats a nice song!!! nice for road trip :)

  • jon do you play all the instruments to your newer songs? (i know this isn't an original)

  • Hmm curiosity got the better of me I dont care for this vesion or the man himself ,sorry

  • Frank - you can get the track from iTunes or physically on CD via Amazon and others.

  • Thank you!

  • I would gladly drive around listening to this version full volume, if I only had it to listen to.

  • People say this about me

  • The clue is in the video title - Jonathan King.

  • honestly im inlove with you, the way you sing the song, goshhhhhhhhhhhh tell me your name

  • I love the ultra-literal videos. Retarded genius!

  • This is a very good version, but it's not quite on the level of the original. There's something too croony, too light about it. The original song, the arrangment, tempo, and Jeff Lynne's singing was dreamier.

  • Sorry, I think this is an awful version of a great song

  • this is realy incredible version, great!!!

  • It is Great Song... Very Cool !!!!!

  • AWESOME A-1 !!!!

  • Very Different !!!! Very Cool !!!!!

  • Wow! Johnathan awesome! I had to have it on my Favorites list. Keep 'em coming & don't ever fade away!

  • Google/wiki 'Jonathon King' then tell me that you still think Jonathon is awesome!

  • Actualy JK doesnt sing this song too badly. I am quite suprised. This song always reminded of John Lennon composition.

  • great song...

  • I keep coming back. o yeah ,yeah ,yeah

  • What a lovely performance of a truly beautiful song. I think Jonathan King is one of the most neglected of pop masterminds.

  • I think its fantastic. I been watching it somewhere else. now I know who really sings it. Romantic picture of you and your loved one ?very nice

  • What a lovely performance of a truly beautiful song. Love the original and love this. I think Jonathan King is one of the most neglected of pop masterminds. Like Roy Wood he deserves more recognition.

  • This is an apalling cover. Join the rest of your mates who have "Gone to the moon"

  • No, it's on my behalf to thank you for making it possible to listen to your track from time to time. I surely will come back now and again. It's a pleasure to listen to your version of this timeless classic. You didn't try and make a pale copy of the original but choose a very different arrangement which - as the original - is lovely in its own right. Like it very much! Thanks again!

  • Thank you Sir Oliver; it's one of the few tracks I've recorded that I'm happy with.

  • I really like your version. It's tasteful and executed with enthusiasm. I once possessed a cassette with ELO covers and your take of CGIOOMH was one of them. I always wondered who sang it. Now I know. The arrangement and voice always reminded me of Italian singer Angelo Branduardi. Way better than 99 per cent of the crap in the current single charts!

  • Definitely Not awful! Not as good as ELO, but few people are.

  • Sorry, this version is awful

  • Thank you Alain; you've noticed how different real instruments are from computer generated buzz! Yes; all my tracks feature musicians not programmers.

  • Jonathan--that's very good! Nice vocals! Where did you get the orchestra sound? Nice montage!
