Manfred Mann - The Mighty Quinn

[alalov1]

My favorite song

[NAgraphic]

Th guy at 1:06 is Klaus Voormann. He did have the hair cut first and the Beatles imitated his look. Klaus' girlfriend was Astrid Kerrchner who took the Beatles first pictures. Klaus also designed the Revolver Albumn cover and played in the Plastic Ono Band with John Lennon after the Beatles broke up.

[Bigpheet]

Didn't the men dance funny in those days? I can't imagine boy-george dancing like we used to do in the 60s?. Then again, I can!

[Bigpheet]

I remember it well, catching the number 8 bus from manchester to bolton with my mate howard down to the nevada in my checked hipsters!

[szalayrichardnak]

Idiot techno intro!!!

But the song forever!

[boypogi9]

look at 2:20 , doesn't that look EMO to you? well it is to me since I am one....

[boypogi9]

i believe that the guy in 1:06 is the grandfather of all that is EMO.... he is the one who started the hairstyle, the beliefs and other things EMO.... and yes, it's true....

[Suprahampton]

@boypogi9 Dont see him cutting himself......

[chisacat]

@boypogi9 - he's called Klaus Voorman , his sister gave the beatles their mop top haircuts in Hamburg in 1960 - he's a legendary artists and cult figure - and yes was probably the 60's german equivalent of emo
