@pelforthpelforth Who might you be? Melvyn Bragg perhaps? Clearly you are full of your own self importance to issue such a remark. Musical taste is an entirely subjective affair, one man's meat is another's poison. The is NO definitive style of music which should be regarded as being above all other genre's. You might not like this, plenty of people do. WHY are you right and others wrong? To put it bluntly, opinions are like assholes- everybody has one!
Great Move performance. @ozzymotorhead, Metal wouldn't be what it is without Jimi Hendrix' riffs and Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy. Also, where would hardcore be without Bad Brains? Even Lemmy often acknowledges Chuck Berry for the creation of Rock and Roll. Punk and Metal were multi-racial collaborations.
@utubeb14 Yes, that's Roy Wood. Although Jeff Lynne went on to more success with ELO (including some Move members), I always liked Roy Wood's songs better, including subsequent projects such as Roy Wood's Wizzard. In the late 60s, my four favorite British bands, all of which had, in my opinion, great rock and roll energy, humor and beautiful harmony, included two who made it over here in the U.S. - the Who and the Kinks - and two who inexplicably didn't - the Move and the Bonzo Dog Band.
Ive always thought this was a fantastic British song! As a footnote The Move was my Mom's supporting act when she was touring around singing in the early 1960's around the Midlands when she was the lead singer of Barbara Linz and the Leaders.
I have a theory about spare parts in a band. Reckon Carl Wayne and Dave Clark et al had loads of cash but no talent thus projecting them as prominent members of pop bands.
The band were going through transitional changes at this point. Carl wanted the band to become more `cabaret' biased & Trevor Burton was getting `tired' of singing the same old hits, becoming more interested in Blues material such as Albert King. (This didn't stop from later forming a band - Next Move) Carl would soon be on his way along with Trevor, to be replaced by Jeff Lynne & Rick Price.
Roy would write 3 final Move singles to fulfill his contractual obligations, then, ELO would be formed
Carl Wayne was the main lead vocalist with the Move up to 1970, he was also lead vocalist with the Hollies 2000-2004, married to Susan Hanson or Miss Diane to us old crossroads fans, he was a fantastic singer and fine actor too! RIP
I often thin Carl Wayne is like Dave Clark. A Wannabe that did sod all but was the leader ofthe band. I often wonder how a genius like roy wood put up with such a tosser...
Brilliant song. Love the opening which is unique in music. And what can you say about the combination of Roy's and Carl's voices! Simply one of the best bands from the 60's.
They piss on most of the rest for playing and songwriting
The Move were 4 or five years younger than 'the Fabs'....in those days, a different generation (musically) and they were a little more racey in public than most. (see Harold Wilson poster and T.V. & Cadillac-smashing at gigs.) According to one 'pundit' on here , Roy Wood's voice was ' just too thin at this stage to carry a live performance.' Hmmm.
I totally agree with the notion of taste - the Brits were considerably farther ahead of their American music listening/purchasing/playing counterparts.
And not a great deal has changed, if the current trend of Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame inductees are of any indication nowadays...:-x
How the Move - and Roy Wood in particular - don't receive plaudits in deference to other bands of the era is truly criminal...
@ozzymotorhead The negro and negress are beind most of modern music. From Jazz to rock and roll, from hip hop to soul. The white man did create folk music and jailbait pop though.
They did record a demo version of the song, with Carl singing lead. You can find it on the boxed set "Movements", released in 1998, and no doubt lots of other CDs as well by now. It's a toss-up as to whose was better (Carl's version lacks many of the finishing touches that were on the final record).
But to my mind Roy is really struggling here. He could get away with it in the studio, but though his voice got stronger later on, it was just too thin at this stage to carry a live performance.
But after all these years, I still think Carl Wayne should have sung the lead vocal. With a more commercial voice, maybe they could have had an American hit with this.
I hear you. I know what you are saying. Are you British? (I'm an Atlanta native.) Either way here's the deal as I see it.
America just didn't have the same "taste" as the Brits. And even so what hits did the Move have here? None that I know of. The point being it didn't matter who would have sung the songs. America had good groups (Spirit for example) that weren't as succesfull as other Ameican groups.I think marketing played a big part over here. It depended on what the record company pushed.
That is Carl Wayne he was the keyboard player in The Move. He normally sings the OOOH bit, But I don't know where his keyboard has disappeared to in this clip.
He does look funny though, as if he don't know what to do with himself without it.
Not exactly. Carl Wayne did play some keyboards but he was the original lead singer/frontman having been the leader of Carl Wayne & the Vikings, a popular pre-Move Birmingham band. As Roy Wood developed his considerable talent he started taking the lead more & more, singing his own songs.
@MrBooojangles i'm a huge move fan. but why do you say carl wayne was the keyboard player with the group? he was mainly the lead singer. in fact i don't know of any clip of the move where carl is on keyboard. and i totally disagree with you on him looking uncomfortable here. to me he looks super cool and absolutely at ease.
@paulhamerton thanks man. i never got the chance to meet the main man, more's the pity as i just know i'd have hung on to every word he said. still, there's still ace kefford and trevor burton and roy wood. to me they were better than the beatles. the move were wild and dangerous. hell i miss them mate.
@paulhamerton now i can totally believe bev is a naturally nice guy. i can read that in his face. these guys are true pros, although i admit to having some niggling doubts about trevor burton's motives. he jacked in the move as he was sick of singing the same old songs (he hated 'blackberry way' if i remember right) but yet he formed a group called 'next move'. and now he's with bev singing all the stuff he left them for? bit hypocritical! still, money talks i suppose mate!
@nuipret Trevor still though does his own Blues gigs too,think as he`s got older he`s mellowed.Met Carl in 2000,was so humble it was rotten when he was taken.Bev overheard me saying i thought he`d be a bit aloof as he`d hit big time twice,move/elo tapped me on shoulder and said im not im a brummie then signed my records happily,top man great drummer
@paulhamerton that's a great lil story paul! i admire you for having met these heros of mine. i've seen some youtube clips of carl signing autos etc and what a star. you mention him being humble and that's what i saw. polite, kind, friendly and approachable. not many of those guys left are there? lovely tale of what bb said to you. yet none of this surprises me mate. they were the wildest of all the bands in the 60's, yet look at how they are today. a complete reversal. amazing!
@nuipret They were the wildest of the lot but great band.I`m lucky that i still get to see loads of great live bands/singers.Will see Bev/Trevor again in January
@paulhamerton now if you can get me their autographs......that would be great! my name's kev. HOW do you get the chance to see these guys? are you somehow in the biz?
@nuipret Kev mate im a fan and dj but just enjoy going to live gigs,send me an address by message or if youre on facebook add me and i`ll sort autographs of Bev and Trevor for you at next gig promise
@paulhamerton back on line mate! hell it's been a long 6 days. it only took 15 minutes to connect me, the fact there was an old virgin tv and phone line here probably helped (not that i use them, i don't. i stick only to the broadband paul). but i feel i'm back from zombie land!. catchya later mate.
@nuipret Carl was supposedly the lead singer with the Move. Unfortunately, Roy Wood was the main songwriter, and if it was a Wood composition, Roy insisted on doing the lead vocal, which was most of the time and demonstrated here. It was for this reason that Carl Wayne eventually left the Move
@MrBooojangles Wayne was used to do a considerable part of The Move's vocals though. So I don't think he had any problems there. Bytheway...besides the "Ooh" bit, he does most of the harmony vocals here. So I don't understand what rlm4677 is on about.
Interesting clip- still amazing, and their harmonies are tight as hell, but you can see they are having to work hard to fill the gap left by Ace Kefford...great band
The harmonies are great - I wonder, if it was a female singer, would people be making similar comments about her looking 'weird' and 'lost...very hard to do those harmonies so well.
@rlm467 He ( Carl Wayne) was Really the lead singer (although Roy Wood, the guitarist had the better voice). He was a really Great Frontman though and The Moves early shows were totally anarchic, involving Carl wrecking cars with an axe and setting fire to hitler dummy's etc I don't know about Carl Wayne being a keyboardist though ??? I never saw him play ??? Poor Bugger died a couple of years ago RIP Carl
@psychodamned If You Look At 'FireBrigade' (fritz51134) On YouTube You'll See It Is A BEAT CLUB Clip And Carl Wayne Is On The Righthand Side Sitting Behind A Keyboard.
If You Look At 'FireBrigade' ((nyrainbow) It Is A TOTP 1968 Clip And As The Camera Pans-Out Near The End @ 2.33, You'll See OnThe Far Left Carl Is Playing Guitar.
@rlm467 you know when you see a girl so gorgeous that it's like being hit in the stomach, hence OOH!
one time a girl i'd never met walked up to me out of the blue and asked a mundane question and i swear it was like being hit in the stomach, it was like OOH! an hour after she was long gone i was still like OOH! run and get the fire brigade!
@rlm467 Also Carl Wayne (guy in black shirt) sang lead on many Move songs. He wasn't just the keyboard player. great vocalist too. Look at other Move clips and you'll hear him singing.

One of the greatest groups to have ever come from Birmingham.
That fact that they use their natural accents to reinforce the BRUMMIE vocal,MADE them very unique in regional bands that we have in this country.
Accents are what are missing today from a lot of British Pop and Rock groups we have in this country.
Accents are not a thing to be ashamed of.
It is what gives British vocal Rock and Pop music is total uniqueness around the world.
