1974 was the year of the rock & roll revival bands, like Showaddywaddy and Mud.

1972 was the start of it all - a Wembley show with many of the 50s-60s stars. 1974 was when charts became aware of it (even earlier, because of Alvin Stardust).

@@YeOldeFootballChannel There seems to have been a lot of 50s nostalgia on both sides of the Atlantic in the 1970s - American Graffiti, Grease, Happy Days. Being only at primary school at the time I was fascinated by what seemed ancient history to me. Radio 1 had a nostalgia programme on Sundays (presented by someone who will be nameless) featuring the records of 10 and 20 years earlier, and I remember being thrilled by ITV reshowing an old Granada programme "Don't Knock the Rock" with Gene Vincent, Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard.

@@YeOldeFootballChannel It started earlier in North America. The kick starter was the Toronto Rock 'n Roll Festival in September 1969, with performances by Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Gene Vincent. Capitol Records capitalized on the concert by releasing the Gene Vincent's Greatest! compilation that year. The following summer the Everly Brothers got a summer replacement series on a major television network accompanied by two double LPs of their 1950s recordings for Cadence records. In 1971, United Artists created its Legendary Masters Series which gave us double LP compilations from Fats Domino, Ricky Nelson, Eddie Cochran and The Coasters. MCA honoured us with a double album of seminal Buddy Holly tunes in 1972. However, there was more to the revival than just re-issues. Dave Edmunds had a world-wide hit in 1970 with his re-working of I Hear You Knocking and Chuck Berry finally had his first USA #1 in 1972 with My Ding-A-Ling.

It wasn't only here that it was happening in 1974. There's some footage on KZread of Czechoslovakia's Karel Gott, accompanied by Jana Kocianová and Jitka Zelenková, doing a 'Rock Around The Clock' number on the show 'Zpívá Karel Gott' ('Karel Gott Sings'). As a somewhat after-the-fact Northern Soul fan, being around that time a bit of a Heavy Rock fan, if anything, I was a bit knocked to one side by that 'Tamla Toytown' jibe. I don't mind a good bit of Rock 'n' Roll myself and, for that matter, Jitka Zelenková's sometime Divadlo Rokoko (Rococo Theatre) colleague, Valérie Čižmárová was clearly a fan of both Rock 'n' Roll and Soul. At any rate, thanks for this uploading from the classic years of 'Nationwide', which was a huge part of my childhood and teenage years.

My Dad was there when it came back but he said it never went away. He is still a teddy boy to this day. He's 63 😊. Oh what has Billy Fury done? Was he meant to be that colour? 😂

The presenter Martin Young is best known for being one of two journalists who started the remarkable Rough Justice series. Unfortunately they came a cropper when their 'journalistic methods' became public. Still a well-known face from the 70s and 80s though.

@@mickeydodds1 - That's a good question. I don't think he did, but I recall the Beeb disciplined him, and that effectively killed his career. I also believe that was the reason David Jessel then took over the reins of Rough Justice.

I was part of the Teddy Boy revival back in the 70s. My dad was an original 50s Ted, so I was already into the music and was wearing a drape jacket to school at the age of 12...fun days.

loved being a Ted in the 70s, i knew what real rock`n`roll was never listened to those plastic glam rock groups, there were some great groups out there as well, Crazy Cavan and his rythem Rockers, Sandy Ford, Freddie Fingers Lee, the Riot Rockers, al were doing theor own unique Rockabilly, been a Ted nearly 50 years now, started in 1975, and there are still a lot of Teds out there today, yes we are a lot older now, and have grown kids and Grandkids, but you will never stop us Rockin..

They discuss it like it was some far gone era in 1974, when it was only around 15 years before. Imagine us in 2024 talking about the 2000s like this.

I remember the teddies. And their picnics. Down in the woods. You were sure for a big surprise!

You can like any music you want but glam rock was all over the airwaves and charts in the eary1970s - not English rock n roll. You've been a rock n roller for only 50 years?

Strange to think at the time of this recording British rock n roll was only 15 + years old.

So are drainpipe trousers just tight ones, or does the term have another meaning? Also why are teddy boys called that?

They came about more by accident than anything else, after the war, saville row tailors decided to make a new demob suit for returning soldiers, they chose the look of the edwardian era, but the soldiers didnt like these new suits, the saville row tailors had all these suits and didnt know what to do with them, so they sold them to other tailors who then sold them to the teens at the time, who couldnt get enough of them, they took the name of the era the suits came from Edwardians, soin the begining they were Edwardians, by 1953 these Edwardians caused so much trouble one of the papers decided to try and insult them and called them Teddy Boys, Teddy being short for Edward, and it stuck, after that we were know as Ted or Teddy Boys, Im in my 60s today and stil am a Ted, got 4 suits and love being a Ted, I will go out in one of my Drape suits, sis a lot of Teds out there, but each year we get fewer in numbers...

@@OldAgeTeddyboy Thanks for the clarification. I had no idea the name Teddy boy had anything to do with the Edwardian era. I think maybe the "drainpipe" trousers would have been what we would have called tapered here in the US when I was little, since they get very narrow at the ankles. Not positive though.
