Keith Relf had a cool look and a cool sound.  But geez, what a sad and tragic demise.

I think this was the song that convinced Clapton to leave in search of "blues purity."  Years later we got Lay Down Sally.  Oh well{#Biggrin}

Hmmm, coincidentally I just watched a movie last night called "London Boulevard" (Colin Farrell / Keira Knightley) which featured this song prominently. Not a bad film, I'll give it a 7.

Yup, sounds grand and apropos with musical continuity in the set...and always sends me back to tooling around in Mom's '75 Beetle or Dad's Vista Cruiser, newly licensed and happily blasting tunes like this...

Are you talking about "Feelings" by Morris Albert?  That song (widely listed as one of the worst songs ever) has very little in common with this one.  I don't think Graham Gouldman ever regretted writing this tune.

  He looked so BORED!  Who'da thunk, back then, that he'd eclipse the Yardbirds with his solo stuff?  (Guessing it was fermenting in his mind, even then...)

  Wiki indicates she did not write that song. Why she ever performed it is another matter. But hey, we all have our little indiscretions...

Yardbirds drummer Jim McCarty said of the Graham Gouldman songs like this one:
Very interesting songs, very moody, because they were usually in a minor key, the ones we did, anyway.

Great song from a great group that produced 3 great guitarists which led to other great groups.  I also think Paul Samwell Smith became a producer.  An interesting piece of info I read was that Clapton left the Yardbirds because he felt the group was trying to pull away from a blues sound and was trying to get too experimental instead of just basic blues.  The irony is that then Clapton goes to Cream and starts using the same sorts of electronic effects and experimental sounds in a lot of Cream's music.
 
I'd read that Clapton left because he thought the band was becoming too commercial or "pop"-oriented.  Apparently "For Your Love" is what drove him off.

No. In 1965 Jeff Beck was their lead guitarist.  I don't think Page joined until 1966.
 
Yep, that's Beck playing guitar here.

I wasn't born for another 10 years... still...

I think THIS may have been the most important band laying the groundwork for what was to come next.  At every stage in their development... they were YEARS ahead of everybody else.  Plus... Relf is one of my favorite frontmen of all time.
