Graham Gouldman - one of the greatest songwriters

[daindo91]

The Beatles were great...

But, quite simply, Graham was, and is, the best.

[SuperNevile]

Didn't Graham write some of his classics while still working in a gent's outfitters ? Those were the days!

[123rcac]

o thx so much for the Graham uploads. fantastic!

[PeterMayer]

I had no idea that Graham wrote all those song, before 10cc.

[Mellieha23]

Graham Gouldman is a wonderful songwriter, and a really nice guy, most of his songs are timeless classics. Thank you for the music Graham.

[christien68]

Thanks BALO 11!!!!

I added the clip to my favorites.

I'm a fan of 10cc and they all: Graham,Kevin, Lol and Eric are fantastic songwriters and producers.

I'm glad you showed us something about Graham . THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!

[steffiedrees]

really like his songs, especially busstop and no milk today. But my absolute favorites are the songs he wrote for the animated movie "animalympics".

[Puchi1959]

¡¡¡Great info, thank you, BALO 11!!!

I've been looking for nearly an hour, info about a song called "Systematic" from '85, and Gouldman resulted to be the composer!!!

Another unknown talent...what a pity!!!

Life is not fair...

Great songwriter 10cc recorded at Strawberry Studio's in Stockport just down the road from where i live....cool.

[07504201963]

is'nt that where,and with who rameses recorded his epic 'space hymns' album?

[FlyingJunk]

My favourite Gouldman song is, strangely enough, The World Is for the Young, a little ditty at the end of the Mrs Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter movie. It is sung by the actors, not Herman's Hermits. It is included on the soundtrack LP. Pure joy. Every Graham fan must hear it. Also Iceberg from How Dare You is a beautiful Graham-sung gem. And, of course, From Rochdale to Ocho Rios.

[ronfinefleur]

For me the best songwriter ever. Graham toured Holland very succesfully in march. Thousands of people saw him playing all these old hits. Most of the crowd didn't realise it were all Gouldman songs

[rocksinger45]

The soundtrack of our lives. Thanks GG

[bdf2718]

Wow! Bus Stop was a Gouldman hit? That is so fucking amazing. Thanks.

[Babyhowdy233]

Rock/Pop owes this man a debt that is SOOO IMMENSE that it's impossible to even begin to describe it!!! Graham deserves to be in The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame a helluva more than about 70% of the folks who are already there!!

[evets530]

Wow, I grew up listening to his songs and then him with 10cc, but I never heard this stuff. Very cool! That first tune is very Left Banke! Thanks for posting this. I love hearing him do his tunes

[jferkfjkj]

what's the first song called

[balo11]

The Impossible Years

It was released as a single in 1968

[bongobuster]

wow, so impressed,no idea he was a talented songwriter,thanks for info

[45spindle]

Dreadlock Holiday!

[Mikemaniax]

Seriously though, can anybody tell me what songs he sang lead on while in 10cc? Because I cannot tell if it's him, Eric Stewart, or Kevin Godley most of the time.

[PEC2528]

Very nicely done. A fitting tribute for a deserving but underappreciated artist. Go GG!

[citybeat60]

I just learned that Graham wrote all those famous "British Invasion" hits. I had no idea who he was or how prolific his talent was until now. Thanks for the clip, very informative!

[BUNGLEJYME]

Graham is an underated genius.  a great bassist too!

[jamierourketen]

how rich must he be with all the royalties from these songs, i just thought he was in 10cc!!!! god i feel dumb.

[bufb]

Great job

[mcphert1]

Always loved GG's songs before and with 10cc. Loved the fact that 10cc had four lead singers and songwriters. Very well put together video as well. Was it Windows Movie Maker?

[balo11]

Thanks I totally agree, he's one of the best songwriters.

The video was made in Windows Movie Maker .

[TofuHeaven]

Thanks for posting this gem. Truly Graham is one of the most under-rated pop music songwriters of all time I would put him in the same class with Lenon/Mcartney.
