This is one of the best versions of Dead Flowers I've ever come across. It was absolutely tragic what happened to Frankie. I've always been a fan of his singing and bought The Rock album when first released.
These vids, particularly this one, are a testament to his talent. My sincere thanks to Creedona for putting them up. Muchas Gracias - Steve Rawson, Dublin, Ireland
i have the first 4 l.p. and i love this man since mid seventies when i was in jersey c. i. i'm italian and for five years i have been a d.j in a radio station and i always play him on the air and many people call me to know where they can buy l.p. of frankie but at that time wasn't so easy to have frankie l.p.'s in italy
I spent a good portion of my life in the music business. Deejay at KSJO San Jose for a long time. Doesn't matter what my name is. What matters is this...Frankie Miller. Go find his LP The Rock from around 75/76. Listen to this white boy do his thing with r n b. I'm just glad to know he's still alive and looking pretty damn good for a survivor. This man should have been a HUGE STAR, but he just didn't get the breaks. Go check him out doing a tune called HAVE YOU SEEN ME LATELY JOAN?
YES I WAS! I still have their lp, autographed by all the members of the band. They were terrific! A great interview, great humor, great guys and GREAT MUSIC! I still shake my head when I play that British Lions LP. They were hot! And they did a great live show at the Old Waldorf. Thanks for remembering..."The Mixer".
I have the British Lions UNRELEASED album, "Trouble With Women" with all of the on-air ads from your station that they did, and John Fiddler is a good friend of mine whom I had the pleasure of landing a couple of gigs for last year (not a promoter, but knew of some venues in the Phoenix area. He was living in Scottsdale but I haven't heard from him in a couple of months. He did a great solo gig as a support to Ian McLagan (Faces) last April!
P.S. - My Frankie Miller connection is that I got to know him briefly about the same time you did, when I was working with some trade journals in L.A. I did a cool interview with him and I still have a photo we took together at CASHBOX. He survived a terrible stroke but sadly cannot grace a stage. As you might remember Fiddler went on to front Box of Frogs - or the Yardbirds by another name. He left them in sad disgust when they refused to tour the states when their album was hot.
Got the album that "Joan" is from and many more besides. Frankie is THE best singer to come out of Scotland, a born natural with "a swagger ye could hing a washin' on!" to quote one Peter McDougall. God bless you Frankie, you werethe buisness and probably still are!
This brought a rare smile to my face! Frankie you are the man. I have no idea if this is available as an MP3 or an album track, but I've heard the Rolling Stones, Townes Van Zandt and my hero Steve Earles version. Frankie blows them all away. This wee gem should not be hidden away. If Frankie has any media support they should get this and the video out on public display asap.
I was shocked and not a little upset when I came across a photo of Frankie showing how he is today. Hardly recognisable as the rocker from yesteryear. It's a crying shame about what happened to him, one of Britain's finest musicians that ever lived.
I liked what you said on youtube about Frankie miller. I have a dvd of him live and it contains a documentary about frankie as he is now. It's really good and it's not as much of a crying shame as you think. Let me know and I will post you a copy
Hi, from what year is that concert, and can i buy it from you ? Have been fan since 1977 and love all the records from Frankie, i have them all, even the bbc radio one live concert cd..
I take my hat off to that bloke! He's the greatest singer/songwriter, everything! It's a damn shame and the worlds loss that he is in bad shape right now, the hit's and songs that could have been from this man.... Frankie you rock buddy!
I love Frankie's voice....This man is so underrated it's a sin,Hope one day Mr miller you are well enough to be back in the spotlight where you belong,I for one would go and see that gig even if it took place at the end's of the earth,You make me soooooo proud to be Scottish my friend,take care Frankie....Thanks for posting this to mate
Frankie is the man the greatest singer Scotland ever produced and at least in the top 5 Britain ever produced,Oh and he is a real Scot not like Rod the Mod.
saw frankie miller at the royal oak music theatre back in the day WOW DAMN SUCH AVOICE AND ATALENT THAT IWAS FLOORED BY THE SHOW HE PUT ON MISS YA FRANKIE ANGEL
When ws this - is he, how can I p[ut this nicely, up and about, recovered ffrom his health problems. Saw him so many times in the 70's, got drunk with his bass player once. Frankie Miller better than Riodgers or Gillan
Not Kieffer Sutherland on bass or Bonnie Tyler on rythym, but definitely the wee man from Glasgow on vocals! Otis wasn't looking over his shoulders......... he was singing through Frankie's mouth. What a voice. MAGIC
It's a Stones song written by Jagger/Richards but even as a Stones fan I think Frankie's version is better, Steve Earle did a nice live version as well on "Shut Up And Die Like An Aviator"
This guy Frankie Miller is so damned good - something between Mick Jagger and John Cougar. I feel that d late Robert Palmer was also in similar mould but of lesser rockability.
must've been right before the stroke. Who was playing in Frankie's band then? - I was fortunate to see him with Minhinnet, Chris Stewart, Hall and Deakin back in '77.
Such a voice.

You don't grasp that people grow older, and that they can have strokes, as Frankie did? He's doing amazingly well considering what happened to him.

Frankie has a great voice, but there are many other UK rock/blues greats, including Dave Edmunds, Jess Roden, Robert Palmer, AWB....

none of those do even come close to Frankie,no matter how good they are..Edmunds isn't famous for his singin',neither is Robert Palmer..
Listen to his older live stuff and hear why Otis Redding's wife called him the best white blues singer she ever heard...
