Look what I just found on YouTube

I'm only gonna post up a couple of eps. Tell me what ya'll think.

I'm embarrased to admit this, but I used to like the Bay City Rollers back when they were popular (I was in middle school then).

I've read Johnny (I Can Clearly Now) Nash is in one of these eps.

I like their 1977 hit "You Made Me Believe In Magic"

What about their biggest hit?

That was a good song.

Oh yes, that definitely was their biggest hit. It got TONS of airplay.

^ I remember that song. I used to have all of BCR's albums back in the day (before cassettes and CDs were even invented).

I remember their debut on US television, on the show Saturday Night With Howard Cosell. The following week they played a full concert on prime time TV. Now this was very unusual for 1975 - there was hardly any music on TV til after 11pm so it made a big impression. I had two, maybe three of their albums, can't remember.

I was into them for a year or so til I discovered Kiss in mid 1976. Then I traded in my Rollers records for a copy of Dressed To Kill.

Boy did they sink hard. I was in a Kinko's making flyers for my own band one day in 1990 or so when I noticed a guy next to me doing the same thing. It was flyers for the Bay City Rollers, and the guy was Duncan Faure who sang with them after Les. I couldn't help but think "Damn...I'm still gonna be doing this in twenty years even if my band becomes the most famous one in the world."

Their VH1 Behind The Music episode is on Youtube now, I think, I finally saw it a year or so ago & it did not disappoint. They had a pretty lurid history.

I'll watch some of those clips later. I don't still listen to the Rollers but they made me happy once, so I can never totally hate them.
