"Handbags and Gladrags" is a song written in 1967 by Mike d'Abo, who was then the lead singer of Manfred Mann. D'Abo describes the song as "saying to a teenage girl that the way to happiness is not through being trendy. There are deeper values."

Most people think the version from their era is the best, or from their favorite artist. Thing is, is it's not a competition. Rod Stewart had the woodwind counter melody put in which made the song so much more melencholic than previous versions and which all subsequent versions have. Also Kelly closely paraphrases Rod's versions vocal including ad-libs. They both do an excellent job! Thanks for putting it on and you made a very professional job with the video.

I recently found Rod Stewart's "Storyteller" anthology on cassette at Goodwill. I've heard this song before but today is the first time I really listened to it. I think Rod is very underrated, and this song is one of his best.

+freakygeek90 He wasn't underrated at the time he released this. When he did the disco bit, people quit taking him seriously. He did some good stuff later. Look for him live with Ron Wood, doing Mandolin Wind. They are seated and Rod is playing banjo. Amazing. I saw him in concert before his disappointing disco fluff. He filled the Omni arena in Atlanta and had Jeff Beck with him. The Omni has since been torn down, but it was the place of many, many famed concerts.

One of the masterpieces created in the 60's (('69). Rod Stewart is a great singer and always works with top notch musicians. Love the film too. Song could mean so many things to so many people. Remember seeing the the title in a list on a loss leader compilation even before I heard the song as a child. Thanks Sammie for the glimpse of the countryside. England?

Greatness! The history of this beautiful song is interesting. Everyone who heard it knew it was a hit and maybe a career maker. Rod Stewart was lucky enough to be able to record it first and he did a great job.

His voice makes me shiver,even now ❤️

Beautiful and sad. One of my favorite songs ever. You can teach some performers to wail but they cannot make you feel.

The videos I stumble upon The song is a classic The daughter is gifted with the film making the camera angles are great The back shot with the boy walking is excellent The boy is the key to family. He makes his sister stronger-she protects him. anyone who finds any negativity in this film is only jealous of the love between this whole group. This man has more then the any rich man-he has love

Can’t help but cry when I hear this. Incredibly emotional lyric/melody. Love it😢

I had the 8 track to this song & it's album I would play every night while dozing off to sleep. Fabulous just fabulous, it hits just right... Great post ✌️2 ya

amazing song....and in listening, and reading the comments, I have learned even more......such a message that will never leave me.....TIMELESS.....

one of my favorite songs, ans I've been coming back to this video for years now...thought I'd finally say that I appreciate it!

This is one of them hidden jewels on YT. I hope it stays up forever.

One great thing about Rod Stewart is the quality of songs he chose that he didn't pen; from Tim Hardin to Cat Stevens, he knew the songs that he loved and could interpret with his own inimitable style. God bless you Rod, you're an elderly statesman of the British rock establishment now but truly loved and respected by so many. Respect.

Being a woodwind player, I've always loved this song. Beautiful oboe and french horn..........

This video is BADASS! The grasses, the bracken and the Queen Anne's Lace blowing in the wind..The stone walls, and of course this beautiful and innocent young boy. It is haunting and unforgettable. One of my favorite songs by Sir Rod. Well done!

Thanks Samm. Always loved this song. Nice job by your little brother. Long may you all run.

great song, love Rod Stewart, your little brother is amazing bless him, hugs x

A fabulous song. I used to listen to this on my sisters transistor radio late at night. Classic stuff

This is the Road Stewart that I loved and admired. Great songs, concepts and musicianship. Before he went disco and commercially heavier. Now he thinks he's Frank Sinatra or some soul singer. I don't know -- I still respect him as a singer and performer but he needs to do another Gasoline Alley and redeem himself a little. He's one of the survivors of the rock era -- he has the talent still...the maturity too. He and Dylan seem to be grasping for things in the past -- but they are things they didn't create. So they can't possibly resurrect those old jewels. No more than if those old singers tried singing one of their tunes seriously. Enough with the nostalgia...one album suffices, we get the message, you liked those songs and grew up on them. Now, get back to what you do best. (Am I being too harsh? Or logical?). I want my old Rod Stewart back -- there are songs out there that are as good as Gasoline Alley's that could be Gasoline Alley II or Return to Gasoline Alley. I would rather listen to Rod tackle blues the way Tom Jones does than MOR standards. I am listening to his "Cut Across Shorty" right now...damn. Excellent beyond compare.

Love this voice, And the Lyrics are Fantastic.

I like the shit out of Rod Stewart's music. And this early cut of his is among the very best. The music, all of it; that plaintive piano, the forlorn horn, the everything. And the lyrics? What can anyone say? Poetry in the highest sense of the word. And then there is, of course, his vocal. There is nothing like his vocals. Nothing at all.

What a wonderful song and equally wonderful video! I remember this song from the early seventies: it brings back such memories.

This is a wonderfully strange song. It is moving in ways that are difficult to describe, but it moves you with meaning.

In the days before I became a dj and focused dance music, I listened and bought many different types of music. My record store guy had me try Sing It Again Rod and I still really dig it.

The piano in this is really great. The singing flows more and sounds less stressed than in this version it's a great song all in all though wether it's Rod Stewart or Stereophonics

Like it. The black and white is especially nice. The song is like a nursery rhyme, full of metaphors - I like the way you've juxtaposed the images of your brother and this song together, he looks like he could have been transported from the past into the present. The soul and the integrity of the song seems to transfer itself into him somehow.
