This is for all the people born after 1983 and seek out great music of the past...I discovered Terry Reid when "The devil's reject's" soundtrack came out and was blown away...I don't know why he didn't stand out with the rest I grew up on...Where have you been all my life Terry?..
As the sixteen year old singer of local band Peter Jay and the Jay Walkers, Terry Reid supported the Rolling Stones. When The Yardbirds disbanded in 1968, close friend Jimmy Page asked Terry to become the singer of a new group he was putting together. ... Later to be known as Led Zeppelin, Terry declined but put forward a young chap he knew from Band of Joy, called Robert Plant.
@EdHazel79 A song is...get ready now...LYRICS, melody and music. I love the sound of Terry's voice. Have since Jan 1969 at the Filmore. However, I would love to be able to understand what he is saying, as a person who DOES focus on LYRICS when listening to a SONG.
@imnokid I love the Stones and barely understood a word Mick Jagger was singing until I looked up the lyrics (which are great). I guess we all look for different things in music but great lyrics mean nothing without great music.
The more I hear this song actually, and much as I love Terry's performance here, his expression, his phrasing etc... I can't help feeling that the first two lines at least have Graham Nash written (no pun intended) all over them. That doesn't mean that Graham Nash would have made such a great performance out of it tho' - Terry is still king of this song (just sayin'...)
(But yes also, @gurunell, leaving all the pre-pubescent nonsense aside: you are SO right, there is NO substitute for great phrasing. Even if they haven't written their own stuff (e.g. Matt Monro, Art Garfunkel and a whole heap of others) the way they inflect, phrase & perform can elevate a good song into a GREAT one. Again, think Simon & Garfunkel: one was barely anything w/out the other...)
P.S. tho' Terry mate, don't worry re. the comment below: you sure as hell have matured a whole HEAP better than Plant. I mean, having been a Plant fan since almost the primary school I can still see it all there but really: did someone run a plough across his face or WHAT??? (A man should always exfoliate, cleanse, tone and moisturise, it will make all the difference - and w/ all the dosh he has, there is simply no excuse...)
@karaokejax Doesn't he tho'?! & yes, you're right & you summed it up perfectly: comfortable in his own skin, & that's a lot of what makes him sexy esp in this particular clip. But it's funny: having followed Robert Plant (sorry Terry!) all these years, we have watched him age decade by decade; but having kinda lost track of Terry since then till fairly recently, it's quite hard to equate this young man with the clips from the last few years, with so little really apparently having come between
@ZeldaGlitterKitty I didn't know he existed until I saw him on The TV the other night. But I am going to do some research. He just looks so comfortable in his own skin. He's sexy, and boy does he know it! ;o)
@karaokejax: that is hilarious! I'm not sure I'd necessarily articulated it as you have (altho' I love the way you did!) I just thought it was incredibly, mischievously, gorgeously, incredibly sensual. But you didn't half make me laugh and yes, I'm fully prepared to admit: you could very well be right!!
I'd never heard this tune or Terry before I'd seen this performance on the telly t'other night and it just blew me away. This is the best version of this I've seen so far, for sure.
Extreme nostalgia - Terry was wearing the same hat when I saw him & the other two at the Marquee in Wardour street many many years ago. Four of us travelled from our home town to see him, only to have the car we were in towed away by the met.
Terry Reid is up there with the great British singers....alongside Steve Marriott

I wish Terry would hook up with Lee Miles again - he was the perfect anchor for Terry's style.

In the 80's Trry concentrated on his session work, appearing on Albums by, Don Henley, Jackson Brown and Bonnie Raitt.

'Terry Reid' is a synonym for 'underrated'.

@imnokid People focus too much on lyrics. You can feel what he's saying without necessarily understanding every line in the song.
