Delighted to say the talented George is still with us - he turned 79 in it wasn't for you, there would be no me!" What a beautifully humble phrase!

[theloyalone]

Never heard anyone sound so good in their 70’s, he hit them high notes as well as he did when he was in his 20’s

[skiphamilton]

This guy defies reality. I've lost about a third of what I had over the years singing in the clubs. George is as good or better than 50 years ago. A monster.

[deanolaurence]

The voice is still on point over 40 years later

[IanPatrickOfficial]

Wow, his voice is still just as pristine. Love this song…😌

[Table-Top]

Real Music. If there world is still here in 500 years time, they'll still be playing this song.

[ethanoreilly]

His voice is so powerful it hasn't even aged since the track was layed down in 1974!!!

[nicknicholas]

Holy shit. I'm 72 and George gotta be my age. He's from Tampa Florida . Saw him in clubs summer of 1974. Who woulda thunk he'd be doing this 45 years later. This actually gave me goose bumps..wow.

Real music, real instruments, real talent. Awww the good ole days.

[brenthasboro]

A performer who is proud of pleasing his audience. Spectacular!!!!

[mjsc]

All these years he can still sing it in the original key.
I'm impressed all over the place.
And he looks like he's having a great time, too!
Good for him!!!

[Iseeitu]

One of the best live performances! I usually prefer the original recording but this is excellent. Glad to see he still has it!

[adriannewman]

this is old school showing what its all about, rock on George.

[julieannejoolz]

You know if you're on the Jules Holland Show, you're a legend! What a great voice even 50 years on from the original hit. This song is a classic, classics never fade! His voice is still so good! Amazing 👏 🙏 ❤❤❤

I'm 58, my wife rocked my world 41 years ago when I was 17, we sang an impromptu song called Islands in the streams together never met before, and she is still rocking my world today.

[harrybear]

His voice suit and style is like fine wine never ages

[ISVVVc]

It's great how he's interacting with his audience.

[bluesmama]

This brought me to tears when he gave the song to us. Such a talented artist and beautiful soul.

Graduated High School 1973. 1974 this song came out and really blew my mind. “Rock Your Baby”. Been Rocking since. I’m 69 now and still at.
