Posted February 26, 200916 yr I hope this is the right forum for this, i'm desperate to find out who the artist is, i think it is early 70's Its a Top Of The Pops clip of a young man sat at a piano singing these lyrics Everybody else has got a hand to hold at night Everybody else has got someone to hold them tight Everybody else has a got a love to call their own Everybody but me, everybody but me Staying here just waste my time So alone its such a crime I guess i'll drive to town And maybe hang around And maybe spend my last dime Cos everybody else has got a hand to hold at night Everybody else has got someone to hold them tight Everybody else has a got a love to call their own Everybody but me, everybody but me If i had a girl you'd see That i would treat her tenderly I'd take her out to shows I'd buy her brand new clothes She'd be happy with me Cos everybody else has got a hand to hold at night Everybody else has got someone to hold them tight Everybody else has a got a love to call their own Everybody but me, everybody but me Cos everybody else has got a hand to hold at night Everybody else has got someone to hold them tight Everybody else has a got a love to call their own Everybody but me, everybody but me I hope someone can put me out of my misery, i've been trying to find out for ages Edited February 26, 200916 yr by Treble99
February 27, 200916 yr Never heard this song, don't recognise the lyrics at all. Can I ask how you know all the lyrics, but you don't no either the singer or the song, because usually it is the other way round. :)
March 1, 200916 yr Author Can I ask how you know all the lyrics, but you don't no either the singer or the song I have dvd of TOTP performances that the BBC wiped back in the 70's and these clips have survived from German TV (as far as i know) who bought a lot of the shows back in the day, anyway this track is on the disc, i know the lyrics from just watching the clip, the singer does remind me of a very young Billy Joel but i'm 99% sure that it isnt him.
