Family were always vastly underrated and never got the recognition that they deserved, Chapman had a unique voice and a group of accomplished musicians behind him. Revisiting nearly 50 years on.

I don't know the album, but I did see the Streetwalkers back in about 75mat the Roundhouse, and this song was a moment of calm magic in an otherwise rumbustious, energetic set, and is still a great memory. I love the Family version too, there's something about John Wetton's harmony/counterpoint vocal that so suits the song. Will always love My Friend The Sun

I only have listen to this song, i need to listen the others on the album, But man oh man, those guys are some wicked musicians. Nicko mcbrain on the drums, pre maiden (i think).

I've been listening to Family for 30 years but I never even knew about this stuff. Bloody brilliant. Roger's really getting his singing voice together with this band, especially the heavier side of it, as in 'Run for Cover'. Now, having all of Family's albums and thinking there was no more to have, I can start collecting Streetwalkers albums when and where I find them (still got a good turntable ;-).

All of Chapman's projects are awesome. Oddly enough, I became a Family fan after tracing McBrain's roots back from Maiden. It's a shame, but it seems like the British listeners picked up on a lot of gems that hardly anybody noticed here in the US.

Never got to see Family, as US tours were rare and dates always seemed to get canceled. Did see Chapman/Whitney Streetwalkers twice playing small clubs in local Baltimore/DC venues in '76/'77(?). I remember band being more rockus than these videos, and Roger C. walking on tables, alternately consuming or kicking over patrons' drinks-he seemed to prefer shorts to talls. Great band, great shows. Roger's a grand old man of English rock now, but whatever happened to Charlie Whitney?
