00:02:46 - Hello from 1973.

00:02:48 - The song was written by Bob Young who collaborated with the band and Francis Rossi.

00:02:54 - Young tells us, in 1971, Francis Rossi guitarist and I were living in East Dullitch, London.

00:03:01 - We were both married with a son, and he had the flat above mine.

00:03:05 - We started writing Caroline, and then we all we went to Parenport than Cornwall for our holidays.

00:03:11 - We stayed in a seedy hotel because it was all we could afford and we continued to write the song there in the dining room on a rainy day when we couldn't take the kids anywhere.

00:03:20 - The hotel manager wasn't impressed that there were two status quo members staying at the hotel.

00:03:25 - He was even less impressed when I leaned against the dining room window and fell.

00:03:30 - But I managed to finish the lyrics on a napkin.

00:03:33 - We demoed the song with Francis on guitar and bass and a drummer named Terry Williams who became part of Dire Straits.

00:03:40 - Caroline started out as a slow, bluesy song, but we decided to try it at double speed, and that's what it sounded like when the whole band recorded it.

00:03:49 - I think it was the first thing that Status Quo recorded on their own, without a producer, and started the Quo sound.

00:03:56 - We used to set up all our gear in the studio, too much gear, really, and play like we were on stage, loud and rockin'.

00:04:04 - Caroline became a quo classic, opening virtually every live show for the last 25 years.
