David Essex - Gonna make you a star 1975

[chinnychinchin52]

Saw David Essex at 'The Mayflower in the 70's, he was young handsome and all the girls were going wild, he loved it and we all cuddled him, great. Then I saw him at the same theatre last year, he came out the stage door, he looked at us with distain and his first words to us few who were waiting was to me "I don't do touching" What a miserable old grey haired little man, my teenage dreams shattered, anybody want my David Essex greatest hits?

[jondoe4171]

You wouldn't know David Essex today. Not such a pretty face anymore . Shame we get older and uglier. He gave us great music and I bet he got the girls to with his looks back then.

[skwijeebob1]

@jondoe4171 he looks like Dweezil Zappa!

[SuperBoogley]

@jondoe4171 im not a queer or out but despite the fact hes older hes not bad looking

he has a more mature look u not think

[AucklandNZ1]

Just adore this man - thanks for posting this gorgeous man, who's currently on Eastenders in New Zealand - looking older naturally but he's still got that same dazzle in his eyes!

[erudite1100]

I am 64 in two weeks but watching this I am in my prime, feling great!!

[kipp0man]

Always liked this song, and wow, he really really can sing, hits the highs with ease, is note perfect and has a real rocky edge too. Thumbs up Mr Essex, you are a star. Thanks for posting Fritz.

[ruffian1868]

Sign of a REAL singer ! Singing live. Excellent work Mr Essex !

[kevphillips02]

He was a very good looking guy back then.

[carly4stevenarnold]

@kevphillips02 I think he looks good looking now in eastenders aswell. In fact, i think he looks better now than he did then lol

[kevphillips02]

@carly4stevenarnold You must prefer maturity?

[carly4stevenarnold]

@kevphillips02 i have actually always preferred older guys lol Not usually too old but mainly people in around their 30s-40s. I dont know, its just that twinkle in his eyes i like but i cant really notice it as well in these old videos compared to eastenders. Dont get me wrong, i do think he is cute here aswell but i do just think he looks cuter in eastenders. lol

[debiedog1]

Should have been a much, much bigger star !!

[dinarathirty]

Just an amazing tune again. He performed it with such panache. It was such a great time for music the glam rock days.

[sharonann3344]

he can come to me any day wtg david still good looking now as u was in the 70s xxxxxx

[nowetfingal]

@HughStirling whats a pikey?

[antonscouse158]

@nowetfingal a pikey is a gypsie

[NCW250]

@antonscouse158 …no a gypsy is a noble person who respects others and his surroundings (i.e. doesn't leave bits of junk all over the place, or whines that they are treated like second class citizens) and does not rip you off. A pikey is a different breed all together, they are the ones to watch, causes havoc for others and is disruptive and gives gypsys a bad name.

[NCW250]

@nowetfingal …Ian Lavender's character in Dad's Army.

[VCM4EVA]

Wow hes got long fingers!

[Newy100]

@VCM4EVA, least we know what E.T did in his time here, lol

[ithica0101]

[EllePB]

One of my Father's earliest memories of me was when I stuck bubble bath foam on my head... and sang this song into a spinge. I was about 3 or 4 years' old. I think david Essex was my first crush - bless!

[BuzArmstrong]

Fabulous singer, I really love this song, you don't get any singers like that now, the 70s were for sure the time for good music thats for sure.

[Darron1967]

Why not have this song as the rival to X Factor in the race for Xmas No. 1?

[TomandBoo]

David Essex might have aged a bit but he still has those twinkling eyes! Yes, he was a dish in the 70s.

[sadsack1944]

What an ARTIST...... David Essex is simply the best at what he dose there in NO ONE that comes near him, is the definitive voice of Evita BUT and a big BUT dose anyone remember him singing this live on Top of the Pops with the Goodies as his back up group ??????

I remember it well but has anyone got the footage to put on YTUBE ??????????

[written12]

@sadsack1944 Sad to say, that we in America only really heard "Rock On". I can't remember this song or his other hits making it to the US charts. "Rock On" was great but we definitely some great tunes.
