This song will stay with me forever. In early 1972 my girlfriend and I were meeting up for a drink in the centre of Leeds. This song was playing in the background when she told me she was pregnant. Every time I hear it played I remember that moment. Luckily it all worked out, we married in June 1972. Fifty years later still together & our baby daughter is fifty! We saw Rod Argent on a Zombies tour a few years ago & to our delight they did Hold Your Head Up, fantastic.

My best friend, Billy Dillon, loved this song soooo much. He was a troubled kid, and everyone always told me that it was good we were friends, and that I should look out for Billy. I went off to college. I tried to keep in touch, but Billy got lost to the streets and drugs. He died a few years ago, alone and probably wasted. I know I had to live my life, but I feel like I let him down. One time when I came over to his house, was probably 15 or 16, and his mom says he's in his room. I go down the hall and open his door. His light is off and Argent is just thumping. Billy has headphones on, and is in his 'rocker, ' a padded rocking chair. He's rocking it so hard that it moves forward every time. I watch, unnoticed, as he reaches the wall, plants his feet, and walk/slides it back across the room, where he starts rocking again. I had to flip the light on and off before he even noticed me, and when he did, his smile was as genuine as any I've ever seen... When I hear Argent today, I remember that moment, Billy. Love you bro.

I saw these guys live in Pittsburgh, PA, USA in the summer of '72. I was 14. First live rock and roll show I ever attended. Maybe the best. Wow. Argent opened for the Kinks. Man, that was sure enough a great show. As I recall, the guitar player for Argent threw his guitar up over his head about 10 feet in the air. The guitar stayed level with the stage and when it came back down the guitar player caught it right out of the air and played right in time... never missed a beat. And if that wasn't enough, as I recall, he threw his guitar, still plugged in, straight out in front of the stage, just above the outstretched hands of the audience. I don't know what kind of cord he had plugged into his guitar but when the guitar came to the end of the outstretched cord, BAM!, it sprung right back into the guitar player's hands and , again, a played the thing never missing a beat. Amazing Never saw anything like it ever again anywhere. It was incredible. Anyone else ever see this guy do this with the guitar? I'm pretty sure I remember it accurately. Oh, yeah, the Kinks were great! That's another story.

In March of 1982, I spent three weeks at Abbey Road 2 with Russ recording tracks for America's "View From The Ground" LP which contained the hit "You Can Do Magic", also written by Russ...

this song/recording is 50 years old at the time of my writing this. the purpose of writing is to tell you that, on 15th Feb 2022, the guitarist and lead vocalist Russ Ballard played a show at a small music venue near here in Chislehurst, SE London suburbs, that I would rate as one of my top 10 gigs EVER and I have seen over 300 easily and huge names too. He is 76 now, voice INCREDIBLE and his songwriting and guitar work needs no commendation from me. Oh, and he played for two hours, no intermissions other than some very humourous storytelling interludes between a couple of the songs. The drummer is still in his band, Bob was ill so Bob's son filled in! TREMENDOUS evening.

The first time I heard this was returning from a day trip with my Uncle and Auntie. I must have been about seven or eight years old. I remember that we had just been passed on the road by a group of bikers, my Auntie commented that 'They should all have been drowned as pups!' This confused me, as they never seemed to pose any threat to us. This track then came on the radio, and I have loved bikes and rock ever since. Now too old and knackered to ride, I'll never forget where the seed came from!

I "felt" that as I was reading it. I too, have ridden since Moses wore short pants, and I remember being with my parents, on our way to visit my mom's people, 140 miles North in Vermont. It was an every other weekend trip for the first 15 years of my life. Anyway, we were passed by a fella on a Harley Davidson Sportster, with what I thought were ridiculously loud pipes! Mind you, I was only about 7 years old, and having been raised living on a busy street, I was used to hearing loud bikes regularly. (1973). I'll never forget, that after the bike passed our car, my dad asked, "Are you going to have one of those someday?" I was flabbergasted, indignant even! Heavens no! I was "respectable"! I had my Honda Z-50 lying on a blanket, in the trunk of the car, little handlebars all folded down, fuel cap vent sealed shut! It was a nice quiet gentleman's machine, and I wasn't going to grow up to ride one of those ghastly loud bikes that the "hippies" rode! Those were the days! My parents both passed young due to cancer, (mom at 49, when I was 16, dad at 57, when I was 19.) I'm sure my father would have gotten a kick out of the fact that at 21, I bought a Harley Electra-Glide, never making it very loud, and rode the wheels off of it! I've had a bunch since, and rode the piss out of all of my bikes until not too long ago. And, like you mentioned about yourself, I am all beat and worn out, and haven't had a big bike in a couple of years, but I've got my eyes open for something more lightweight, just to get out in the wind with. Thanks for your story, as it somehow triggered a lot of nice memories for me.

His name was Jim Rodford and he was a brilliant bassist who also played with the Kinks. I met him when he was playing with a guy named Bobby Graham who was a session drummer in the 60s .

Funny looking great band... Rod Argent looks like David Coverdale. Russ Ballard is missing the beach with those sunglasses. Shorty Rodford on bass. They sound amazingly great, even today.

Always like this song. Being a child of the 70s, have to laugh at how freakin' skinny the musicians and studio audience were. That has certainly changed.

I bought this LP and saw the band a couple of times live when they were in their prime. Real good solid band who put on a good show. Russ Ballard is the genius behind this group and the balls. Love his music and solo stuff.

People should check out his first two solo albums, the eponymous "Russ Ballard" (1974) - (featuring "I Don't Believe In Miracles" and others) and "Winning" (1976) (featuring "Since You've Been Gone").

They are reminiscent of The Nice on this track. Russ Ballard's vocals are effortlessly brilliant. He needed a better sound balance though. What a talented band.

Back in 1970, or maybe `69 argent were booked to play at St Marys College Twickenham, now University on what must have been a Saturday night. Medicine Head were the support. I was at school , and lived just round the corner. I was 8 and had seen Argent on TOTP. I dont know how much the tickets cost, but I did not have a brass farthing on me. I must have spent an hour trying to blag my way in and that included getting up on the roof and looking for a skylight or an open window, to no avail. Not only that, a girl at my school who I had decided I fancied, she was 2 years older than me, had gone in with some friends leaving me outside with a couple of buddies. Thwarted on both counts I went home for my supper very disconsolate.

What more can you say about Argent! Other than one of the 70's top band's. And somehow they slipped through the cracks.
