Bay City Rollers - Once upon a star

[nylonTS]

I had this LP where has time gone

[ladytibbs]

Gorgeous guys.  Wow, those were the years, loving the BCR's!!!! I wish for my youth again....great days

[1964nickel]

I was about 10 or 11 when this album came out, and this was my favorite song on it. As I recall it, Eric and Woody wrote the song. Must google I suppose.

[californiagirl1966]

Thanks for the video. I just loved this song. We didn't get to see many shows they were on here in Southern California, except for Mike Douglas or Dinah Shore a few times. Are there any DVD's out there?? Nice memories. I just love the Bay City Rollers.... I LOVE YOU ERIC!!!

[SUEBRDSHW]

[Teesdale007]

why do I not remember this song???? Was it only big in the UK I wonder?

[JanH1961]

It was off one of the UK albums yes. Good album too!

[yupdee]

i love this song and i love this band thank so much for this posting

[kcufdam]

Ye can take the boy oot o broomhoose but ye cannae take broomhoose oot the boy!!! Les fae the medway. Terry Magoo.

[callywack90]

whoever disagreed with my comment I have proof look at the song Bye Bye Baby when Ians in it and they're old thats PROOF

[JanH1961]

You do know there are penalties for slandering someone? A song is not proof. I've seen enough proof to know your comments here are a lie. In person.

[Teesdale007]

any time women like someone and they become heart throbs or major studs...the MEN always make them out to be gay.

I think it is a jealous thing.

[JanH1961]

lol that could be...but women can be vicious too. Especially about him it seems. But you're right it's a jealous thing!

[callywack90]

Only one of them were gay and his name was IAN, IAN IS GAYYY!!

[jenkira63]

Ian is not gay. He's been married for quite a long time now. He is a motivational speaker and lives in Las Vegas with his wife.

[louisemayb]

that's actually quite funn. Ian is just soooooo not gay. I met his wife Wendy when she was here in England. She's a hunny.

[sweetpea74403]

Gina97xls, I agree about alan being sooo good looking!!!! when I watch these videos, he is the one who has my attention!!!1

[Gina97xls]

now that I'm older I can also appreciate how good looking Alan was too even though when I was 12 he seemed so much older even though he was younger than Derek and only 3 years older than Woody

[Gina97xls]

Woody is as gorgeous as always but Eric looks mighty fetching in the blue which accentuates his nice derriere as well as his sexy eyes...

[ZolenaB]

Yes, Eric looks mighty hot here. I love that blue on him. And speaking of his nice derriere...oh yeah...my favorite part of the video!

[Gina97xls]

I LOVE YOU FOREVER, WOODY!!!!!!

[BAYCITYROLLERBOY]

My Mum was scared i might be gay in the 1970's,as i had these guys on every inch of my bedrom walls and ceiling!Not to worry,i just LOVED their music and image,and unlike other teenage boys,i wasn't afraid to show it!Drove my girlfriend mad,tho.She was a Showaddyaddy fan!

[rmworthem]

Good to hear of a male fan. They do have great music don't they?

[salome63]

a "bay city roller boy"? do you still have some pictures of you? put it on youtube!!

[happidaze2]

glad to see a guy not ashamed to say Hey I like the Rollers Music!!! it just shows you have GREAT Taste in music!!!

[1970sGirl]

Love Les's little facial comments and gestures during this song. "Turn but no one's there" (he turns around). "Your name in lights up in the stars" (he looks up). "your friends all drinking champagne from your hands" (makes like he's drinking, then holds his hand out) Tooooo adorable. LOVE these guys

[bcrscba1927]

If not for these vids I would've forgotten about this one! Thank goodness for youtube! Thanx danielle

[julie7360]

hands up whos still gotthe singles and l.p.s,i have.still luv them.met eric few yrs ago,luverly.shang-a-lang on a tue afternoon.those were the days.

[happidaze2]

raising my hand here! I have the albums! but no record player but that is ok I have CD's now..The Bay City Rollers forever!!!

[ambrsmm7]

I still have some of my records.

[rmworthem]

I still have my albums and a turntable to play them on. Trying to collect cd's as well.

[Gina97xls]

Sadly, I lost ALL of my LPs and 45s when I went away to college and my MOTHER (I'll never forgive her for this) placed ALL of my records in the attic and they all melted!!! It broke my heart to lose ALL of my BCR albums :( Thank Goodness for Amazon, Barnes & Noble and eBay where at least I can buy CDs! and keep my mother away from these too!

[rolrfan4evr]

Love it!! Okay who knows what they are up to now? Are any of them still doing any kind of appearances?

[pingasgirl]

He is married now and has a son. But he had a boyfriend ind the 70's called John

[popeyedawg]

this seems to be a real big deal for you as you have posted this same comment in numerous threads. get over it.

[pingasgirl]

I am a 43 year old Danish woman who was a big BCR fan when I was a teen. I got to meet Les and was the happiest girl until I saw him with his boyfriend John. It broke my poor teenage heart. Saw the BCR in concert about 15 years ago, where Les and Ian looked like a couple of old junkies. That was such a sad sight to see.

But I still love the music and can still get the same feelings I got when I listend to once upon a star, you're a woman and all of the other great songs they did.

Long live BCR

[happidaze2]

that is funny i thought Leslie was married with a son!??

[anne3362]

Les is happily married with a son! For the last 25 years!! Dont know where that story came from???

[happidaze2]

thanks anne3362, I guess someone had a bug up their butt to start trouble... Bay City Rollers # 1

[Ianandsyd]

Les actually swings both ways.He admitted in a newspaper article a couple of months ago.Sorry if I have shattered anyones illusions !!

[anne3362]

Ianandsyd, had to hear the story from the horses mouth as it were!, Not many illusions were shattered - he still has his fans and he was very brave to say what he did. : )

[flyingfrenchfifer]

Who said you shattered anyone's illusions :) lol

Oh come on, ALL the big stars of the time were the same... Bowie (Ziggy Stardust the androgyne), T-Rex, Elton John, Gary Glitter, the whole music scene in those days was full of guys like Les McKeown. Why make a big fuss about them?

[thetragicyouth]

@flyingfrenchfifer er, that shows a very shaky grasp of sexuality! Les admiited to being bisexual. I don't think Bolan did, Bowie only did as a publicity stunt, Elton has always been 100% gay (apart from the brief marriage when he had a thwarted ambition to be a father) and Gary Glitter is into underage girls. So I hardly think that constitutes them "all being the same".

[Ianandsyd]

Hi Anne thanks for your reply.I know what you mean.We saw Les and his band at "Big in Falkirk" a couple of years ago.Still the same old magic !!.Love this track,been looking for it for ages.Those were the days eh? and I'm a guy lol.Loved seeing all the lassies in their tartan gear ! Is there a Rollers tribute band I wonder.All the best,Ian.

[TradaBoy]

i see u mastered the art of copy paste on a computer ... now do us all a favour and learn the delete key ... and delete yourself !!!!!!!!!

[anne3362]

Hey Ian, thanks for your reply, I've seen Les and the band a few times in wembley stadium and a couple of other places yes those were the days alright, there is a glamrock tribute band called Fab 208 who play 70s music including Rollers - dont know if there any others! best wishes Anne

[happidaze2]

I remember my friend and I screaming every time they came on the TV.. and when they Came to The State Fair In Michigan.. Omg we were in Heaven.. front spot just gazing at Woody.. oh those wonderful Memories!!! love this song!!

[ABAYCITYROLLERMANIAC]

Thanks for posting! And be sure to check out the posting under the YouTube search THE ROLLERS SHOW. I highly recommend it!!  Rollers Forever!!! thanks.

[pumpingdaily]

Always one of my favourite Roller tunes! Thanks for posting!

[hibernains]

brill love it nooooooo

[delaylia]

AH those were the days of carefree living and stalking the Rollers LOL - lots of bunking off school and a severe world shortage of tartan LOL

[roxxymagenta]

this was beautiful. brought back so many memories!

[pinksophfloyd]

wots with alans mouth at 2:02???

[lilaogw]

This song reminds of an early Paul and Linda McCartney song "C Moon". Les is cute!

[pinksophfloyd]

choosesarah - you are sooo rite :0)

[choosesarah]

Pink: my mom's the one who got me into them. She went to see them when she was my age. She won't tell me what she DID at the shows, but watching these videos, I have a pretty good idea!

[pinksophfloyd]

my mum 2 she got me into them. my grandma and grandad were about to let her go to a show but a girl got crushed i think. aw! keep on rollin choosesarah :0)

[choosesarah]

So they said she couldn't go because a girl got crushed? This is what I've been saying for a long time: girls' hormones are just as crushing as guys'. And the BCR can get any normal girls' hormones doing really weird things. Keep on rollin, too, Pink!

[pinksophfloyd]

its not fair is it. if she would have gone she could have told me all about it too. :( oh well never mind

[choosesarah]

Yeah, and you could have told ME all about it!

[pinksophfloyd]

i no i would have spread the love ov the rollers far and wide tehe :0)

[1966Nicole1966]

DANIELLE THANKS for all these videos, thanks for bringing me back till when I was 9 living in Australia...........Im in Spain now

[1970sGirl]

Danielle: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this and the other videos you have posted. How did you GET them??? I am 46 and was sooooo in love with the Rollers when I was 14, 15. I loved all of them, but Ian was my favorite.Seeing these videos is just wonderful - it brings tears to my eyes! The guys are all just so adorable (hey - check out Eric's butt at 1:07-1:10 - wooooooo !!) All their music is wonderful and happy - better than most of the crap that's put out today.

[rthereanyleft]

u remember that everyone was skinny like that as well...don't forget. why we all so fat now??

[pinksophfloyd]

iv met eric faulkner. last saturday at selby. hes ace. i didnt really know who he was because im only twelve but i did know that my mum really liked him when she was my age. what an amazing guitar player

[choosesarah]

Pink: Yeah, and now you see WHY your mum liked him! Oh, he's a slayer!

[tritown8563]

[peardrop37]

[xxvampiresxx]

Great video...brings back so many memories....ahhhhh those were the good old days, its a shame this kind of music isen't still around.

[lynnevon]

I am falling in love with Woody all over again, just like when I was 11!

[MissWitchiepoo]

Gosh how I loved Leslie. So many memories especially the one where I smacked my lips on to his and wouldn't let go of him. Imagine going to the disco and suddenly you turn around and there he is, the love of your life your idol and you can just grab him and kiss him. I tell you all, it was so wierd... a dream come true. Thanks for reminding me*S* with this video...

[xxvampiresxx]

When did you meet them MissWitchiepoo???Luckyyyyyyyyy­y

[MissWitchiepoo]

Hej xxvampiresxx... I think in 1978. The day after I met Leslie again, I was chosen by a newpaper to go to the press conferrence. So I have this great foto og Leslie and me( gosh how often did I not dream) I took a lot of photos too. One of Leslie picking peanuts out of his teeth with a finger *lol* Shows that if you wish hard enough for something...wishes might come true... Did however also wait for Barnabas Collins the vampire to come bite me... but he never did*S*

[LaBelleJeane]

This video perfectly showcases Leslie's abilities as a front man...he really knows how to work that camera! Once Upon A Star was always one of my favorite albums.

[StarBright67]

Dunno what it is about this song but it makes me feel happy everytime I hear it ... I now have it stuck in my head and find myself breaking out in song all over the place ...lol ... still, happy is a good thing ... thanks for posting :0)

[TorpeLang]

This is an Awesome video,,but then i was/am much into Les LOL, all Roller videos are priceless.

Woody is a sweetheart as too Eric, love em all.

Thanks for sharing.

[bevpen]

I always loved Woody's "W" sweater.

[bcrs4me2]

this video is great also.  I also would of liked to see more of Eric and Woody, but it's nice to look back and remember.

[JustaSideOrderOfLove]
