[CelticKisses]

I love the song and his voice. But he really really cannot dance. LOL

[mercuryrulz]

@CelticKisses White people cant dance

[Blinkster1983]

@mercuryrulz Lol, that's why you never see a coloured person on a house-party?

[shaihulud4815]

@mercuryrulz they're too evolved for such primeval practices.

[anthony342]

He's cute and has a good voice! I'm smiling from ear to ear watching this video! :)

[jakelic]

[1998gina]

Tony has a great voice.He kinda reminds me of Tom Jones.

I love the way he smiles at the camera :) And he also is good looking

[TheOatsandmilk]

[lilundgren]

And don't forget willow!

[MrEvilTurkey]

love this song

[MrEvilTurkey]

@MrEvilTurkey .

[eddyb71956]

Great song when I first heard it back in the 70's its a shame the music workd can be so cruel back then. But it came all right in the end some hundred years later when Peter Kay featured it it

[copialina48]

hola!...que gusto me produce volver a oír estas melodías de Tony Christie...vienen a mi memoria los gratos recuerdos de mi juventud...gracias y un abrazo de amistad,desde Bogotá Colombia.

[oliviagiles]

I LOVE TONY CHRISTIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!! 

[Vikingstormcrow]

Reminds me of being a kid - mum had this record and we played it and played it! Never realised that Tony Christie has such a cheeky smilethough! - every time I watch this I can't help but grin when he smiles at the camera! Fantastic voice and great song : )

[maryfbex]

I just love his "puppy-dog" eyes in this video!

[maryfbex]

It's me again, Mary, and yes I just have to have my "fix" of Tony Christie. It's going to be a long and busy weekend with the kids, shuttling them around and cleaning the house. At least I can dream, can't I? Tony, if you read this, be happy you make this FL housewife happy for a few minutes each day. God bless you!

[kkenet6207]

Tohle je divnej buzik, sorry.

[bagzie]

I've never been able to figure out why he was'nt a bigger star than he was - his voice is way better than Tom Jones's.

[maryfbex]

Ok, I have been watching this video several times a week, so shoot me! I just love his voice and he was and still is so cute!

[maryfbex]

Also, I think that the actor, Alex O' Loughlin, "Moonlight, "Three Rivers, and now the new "Hawaii 5-0", looks a lot like this Tony. Does anyone else see it! Mary in Palm Bay FL

[maryfbex]

Wheneven I'm feeling down, like this week, I play this video and dream of Tony Christie! I listen to it a lot and I just can't take my eyes off him! Even though he's as senior citizen now, he'll remain "forever young" in my heart! Hats off to Mr. Fitzgerald!

[davidleigh65]

the texas town made famous by sedaka and tony christie because it rhymed with the words pillow and willow.......

[GrazingGoat66]

Tony Christie was one of those early 70's type singers who could actually sing. Listen to his control right throughout his vocal range. Bloody superb. And this song is an absolute pearl.

[DabAndrew]

@GrazingGoat66 Well said ..he had a damn fine powerful mans voice ..not like those weedy boy band shits of today

[fiorivera22]

i lived in Amarillo TX XD

[marjolein431]

this is the best song !!

i remember by this song very funny moments

very happy

[maerthfell]

I've three of his LP-albums ... and I love his voice

In this video he also charms with his beautiful eyes ... I love them, - him -

and I love the 1970s

Another thing:

I just wonder about - why he has "run" from his "Walk like a panther Ruby". I have searched the internet but can't find the original version?

[bsta100012]

yes very good song

[JORGEPSOUSA911]

Oh what a great song to go for a Sunday drive in the old station wagon, just like in the 70's! I love these songs!

[maria85norway]

I love this melody, even though its kinda not the song I play in front of others. hehe ;)

[heston99]

sing it.with me....sha la la la la la!....sha la la la la!!!

[KingTorrtera]

@heston99 clap clap sha la lala la la sha la la la la

[heston99]

@KingTorrtera you got it baby!!!

[KingTorrtera]

@heston99 lol

[monaxikoalani]

his is sexy!

[quig66]

That tux is the shit!

[Xil24ms3]

Leuk om weer eens te horen, ikheb op dit nummer veel gedanst in de jaren 70.

[VerdantMoon]

What a great classic! Ah memories of driving with my Dad...........

[timmhg]

I used to dance this when I was 4. With all children of the neighbourhood. LOL.

[lincsposter]

And let us not forget the version "Performed by Tony Chistie - Mimed by Peter Kay" in aid of charity! If you have not seen it do a search for it - well funny!

[clang2clang2]

rule britania

[newall7]

@clang2clang2 was he english??

[barneyboscoe]

@newall7 Tony Christie born Anthony Fitzgerald 4 thirlwall avenue Conisbrough Near Doncaster( NOT )Sheffield FIRST public appearance Conisbrough, Ivanhoe W.M club with partner Dave Bramley (paid off)Worked in offices of British oxygen Sheffield on leaving school.A fine singer,but a very dull person off stage no personality whatsoever,as any one who knows him will admit.

[newall7]

@barneyboscoe i always thought he was a yank

what a great singer a brit too wow, shows up the rubbish in uk charts of today

thanx for the info.

[ioanalittle]

I love Tony Christie's voice and his beautiful songs .....!!!

[motorkorv]

SO GOOD!

[youneek45]

love it

[Mayortwilleger]

It was a tight budget the record company gave the video clip guys.

[kaakelii]

Just heard this from radio today and I have to admit, it's damn catchy!

[el3ctricMan]

good song!

[FakerBreaker]

This i a perfekt example to tell English people what kind of music "Deutscher Schlager" is.

[IPAWNMYQUEENS]

totaller quatsch das lied ist doch viel geiler als deutscher schlager

[hifi44sdad]

i used 2 likethis song

[shatchett0]

He ain't no Tom Jones but he ain't bad! Do it Tony!

[heston99]

@shatchett0 IMAGINE THE MOVES TOM JONES WOULD HAVE CUT WITH THIS SONG!!!

[shatchett0]

@heston99 No doubt man, no doubt.

[Che870]

@heston99 : ) TOM JONES REALLY : ): ): )

[fatmirsbruder]

Peter onedart Manley

[Him1949]

Nice song, good singer also this Tony!!!

[MrGerrit09]

Daumen hoch^^

[thinkpizza]

Daumen hoch......damit bin groß geworden;)

[asd36f]

Rhyming "Amarillo" and "pillow" is one of the better rhymes in Top 40 history!

[MillyVanillification]

@asd36f yeah, as long as you pronounce amarillo wrong - as tony christie does in this song :)

[tango15]

@MillyVanillification

So how is he supposed to pronounce it? I've been to Amarillo and they pronounce it exactly as Tony Christie does...

[Jguthro]

@MillyVanillification Amarillo is pronouced NASCAR

[shaihulud4815]

@asd36f saying that makes you the greatest idiot of all times.

[stephanedu28]

Repris en francais par Ringo "cinderella"

[makaronaldo]

gia to papagiannaki kala pas!

[bumbumjack]

no, its the wrong way, dude

[missingelvis]

Jay Ashton sings a great version of "Amarillo" in his cabaret (after his amazing Elvis tributes) in the video response above. This is one we all know and love ........

[lovestadunge]

This is the first time I`ve heard the original, only heard it about a 1000 times with hermes house band before - wich is so great. But this song is suprisingly good too. = ) Too bad it`s not the hole song. = l

[nmcarpenter]

@lovestadunge lol, do you perhaps mean the 'whole' song?

[lovestadunge]

@nmcarpenter yes, hehe : )

[MuppetZonk73]

Whydo I have the idea he was drunk when the video was shot? :-)

[megan972]

yeah so do I !

[khorrumg]

What a classey crooner....they sure don't make em like Tony no more....a class act!!!....and what a voice!!!

[bathsheba1uk]

why dont men wear bow ties any more...they are so sexy lol

[LeeroyFan101]

Because they are hard to tie and kinda look old fashioned.

[ricky5538]

If I dared to wear the bow tie and sing this song, wouldn't the other guys in the nightclub bash me up ?

[bathsheba1uk]

no, because they would all be wearing bow ties too, ha ha

[bathsheba1uk]

tony christie is a sex god!

[summ22]

[Baskijka]

Uwielbiam ten song...bravo ten Pan :)

[xXVaNeSsChEnXx]

[Saffron49]

He must of got better with age and he ditched the glasses compared to his other videos in the 70's

[hoghead5]

Damn ! I didn't know that Anton Chigurh sang this song.

[shane8808]

not wierd at all. I was much younger when it came out and I still love it!

[hyperminya]

is it weird 2 like this song at the age of 14??? i love oldy songs....

[MST3K86]

Not at all. I'm 23 and love all kinds of music including older songs. Nothing wrong with having diverse tastes be they music, books or whatever.

[MIRPIPPAS]

Boas recordações dos anos setenta. Belas matinés dançantes no Recreativo de Várzea - Lobão da Beira. Belos tempos.

[doulikestuff]

my mom's uncle wrote this song :) his name is Howard Greenfield

[klaus0]

Esta música saiu aqui no Brasil com os Super Quentes e Angelo Máximo

[MadameBovine1988]

Is it weird to be listening to this song while turning 21?

[Kavinel]

...No?

I'm 16 and I like this song.

[TVJUKEBOX]

french version : Ringo - Cinderella

[llapistar]

[Rowan07001484]

This is the only version that I like.

[TheNecromongers]

NICE. :)

[grantzx]

fantastic singer and song

[Filippoj7]

Make me happy....

[mesmeridium]

Oddly, most people who live in Amarillo Texas have never heard of this song!

Usually songs about US towns get some kind of airplay, especially in the town itself - but not this one.

It's a strange case of marketing that runs outside the UK and Europe, but are disregarded for North American release.

It's very common as well for this and other songs to have big hits on one continent and is unheard of on the other.

[2704texan]

I disagree. Most people from Amarillo Texas did hear this song in era it was released. I should know. I am from that era and I remember it well.

[mesmeridium]

I lived in Clovis, NM for about 3 years in the early 1980s and I never heard it once. We used to be able to get Amarillo radio stations. I must admit in all that time I visited Amarillo itself only a few times.

But I guess you are right in that it was only popular in the era it was made and that's something I couldn't know.

[speedbird007]

Do most of them like this song in Texas?

[barneyboscoe]

@speedbird007 they hate it

[speedbird007]

@barneyboscoe Why?, prob becouse it makes Amarillo sound like a lovely Tropical Island, rather than the desert shack town it is.

[SecretPearls]

@speedbird007 most people in america have never heard of him...

[naughtydog73]

so sweet!

[bmtimv]

whenever i think of texas this song plays in the back of my head.

[hunterroutten123]

yeah same here

[sofakingdrunk66]

happy feel good track gets the feet tapping

[khorrumg]

This is from my earliest childhood....but that voice...what a voice

[damagedporcelain]

Lunches at College were never complete until someone played this on the pub jukebox & we all had a sing along... and that was only in 2006!!

[HilaryMG]

I just love his music and this is a great video shows how good looking he is ;)

except for that annoying circle in the middele..grrr

[loxyloo]

you mean is mouth?

[kormoran78]

What a melodious and fantastic song. One of the best hits of the early 70's.

[iatunmah]

this song brings back nostalgia in the 70's.What an era it was.Its as if time stood still..........

[SPOOKSTR]

This song reminds me of when i was about 5 years old...early 1970's? i think i was playing with my GI Joe....with Kung fu grip.

[Shadzan]

I'd be sweet Marie anyday

[beaulahHadassah]

this is the one that those guys are miming at. isn't he handsome?

[setenteromusic]

this song is so good, i remember that one man was singing this song in a pub, and i had to go to this pub just for ask him the tittle of the song

[MrSteveUtah]

Lucky old me.39 years old,from New Zealand and I would go to the Flying J truck stop in Amarillo often,I feel good about this

[Slashgibber]

Man, that guy has got some badass hairdo.

[obinrobin31]

I fell in love with this song...but my friend keeps sayign that it's killing her brain! >__>

[Tabata69a]

I must have been about 10 when this song came out. I thought he looked really handsome and cool back then.
