[rurbert]

Nice hearing the organ at the end...just like old days. What a great song. Thanks !

[Irmarambaran]

thanks from Jimmy McNichols in Trinidad.

Long time no hear - was trying to remember on my keyboard - but their fingers !!!

[Irmarambaran]

My friend Jim, remembers trying to play this in the 1960s.

He was a bass man with Skylighters in the Penthouse, Independence Square Port of Spain Trinidad.

Any one know Jim?

A veritable goldmine!

You'll never cease to be amazed at what you'll find, although a little depleted now...(see below in my comments). Early Billy J Kramer, Freddy & the Dreamers, Stones, Who, a lot of Procol Harum - real historical/archival stuff. Also a lot of "unofficial" clips of those bands among others.

Since Google is now the major shareholder, if not owner of YT, they've cut a lot of stuff out of it for copyright infringement.

I've got something like 500 vids from there

is that realy ronnie charles ..was he in the band the group..im getting so old..

[HURLEYP]

Yep.... given that their full name is Ronnie Charles and the retro bandits.

And yes...which I think from memory was spelt "Groop". Also did some backing vocals in V. late sixties for 1 hit wonder band, Pastoral Symphony. The song was Love Machine!

[zzzzzzzzzzzzzz4]

Thank u 4 imformation i was such a big fan of the groop..ive just found you tube im hooked ..i found so much old stuff yesterday ..

[zoutezee]

Thanks, I recognised Chris Copping on other old PH-tubes. But what is "Magnetic Island"? Do you mean he died? (I'm no native speaker of english).

[HURLEYP]

Phwaaaaaahhhhh!!! That's seriously funny. Not sure I make the quantum leap required to match death & Magnetic Island. No, Magnetic Island is an island & tourist resort off the Queensland coast (Australia).

BTW, if you're not a native speaker of English, you do pretty well!!!!

[sk8tergurl1010]

zoutezee, are you Dutch or south african? Sounds like one. Ik ben half nederlander. Je engels is goed hoor. Doei.

[zoutezee]

ik ben dutch. Klink ik zuid-afrikaans? Nice!

[zoutezee]

i agree, nice (who is this Chris?), not bad at all..

[HURLEYP]

Chris Copping was organist (among other things) with Procol Harum after Matthew Fisher left the band @1970. Chris left the band in the late 70's, immigrating to Australia, playing with bands and running variety of indusstry-related businesses.

Plenty of histories of the band on the net.

[AbstractNotions]

Nice.

[njbrucetx]

Although a bit older, what gives Chris away is the same intensity as he had in his youth. Compare videos.

[smelly111]

is this really Chris Copping???? Oh man.... the time it so running sooo fast...

Cool version of Homburg.

[Jazzman1985]

Great song!
