@smoothie66 yeah they really do. They got theyre big break and start because of the Beatles. The Beatles helped them start out a lot with their company and this song was actually written by Paul Mcartney but he gave it away to them as long as they performed it exactly as he recorded it. They were pretty much set up to be the next Beatles
i remember this as a 10 year old. And seeing them now, they are all 30 years younger than me. Eeeps! Time is fine, but time can be cruel, and a wake up call, too!
This summer, on French TV (channel 5, ARTE), there was 30 minutes by day showing old Top of the Pops of 1970-1979, that's called "SUMMER OF THE SEVENTIES".
I would say it is extremely rare due to the BBC's policy in the old days of wiping videotape. The BBC currently have very little footage that survives of any TOTP from early 70s (70-74) and next to nothing at all from the 60s programmes.
Joey is soo cute....as is Tommy!!! Is wish Tommy was with us still...RIP

I like this video. They look so fun and happy. Who could imagine that tragedy at this point.
