The Ventures: we are famously known for being a totally instrumental guitar band without vocals on our albums. But when we do get singers in the band, we get the best lookin' around of anybody. Count on it ;- ) What a babe. Josie's vocals and performance is absolutely made to order for this song.
Remember making sure I was watching Secret agent Man each week for the opening song. Still have my Johnny River records from the 60s Live at the Whiskey is one of my favorites. Have some old Ventures records too. Originals are non existence any more.
Brings back memories of the early James Bond movies and Patrick McGoohan's show "The Prisoner"! I am a lifelong Ventures fan. My Dad was a drummer, and he introduced me to The Ventures when I was a little kid.
If Josie Cotton were singing in 1966, and had sung this song on the Ventures' original recording, it would have given Johnny Rivers' original version a run for it's money on the Billboard Hot 100!
On this day in 1966 {April 2nd} the Ventures performed "Secret Agent Man" on the late Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand'... Two months earlier on February 26th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #54 and spent 7 weeks on the Top 100... Johnny Rivers' vocal version entered the Top 100 on March 19th and reached #3... The TV series of the same name premiered on March 7th but only ran for 12 episodes... R.I.P. Mr. Clark {1929 - 2012}...
OKAY MAN, YES THIS WAS THE VENTURES AND JOHNNY RIVERS' SONG, BUT I THINK THAT JOSIE C. SINGS IT ALOT BETTER THAN JOHNNY R. DOES...IT'S JUST A COOLER VERSION AND A BETTER SOUND WITH JOSIE AT IT. BUT VERY FEW CAN PLAY THE GUITAR AS GOOD AS JOHNNY COULD.

The Ventures are the Kings of Guitar Slicks and Links. And Josie Cotton is Supercool and Superhot! What a package of a Lady. 😍❤🎵🎶🎙🌷
The skin tight black leather outfit is KILLIN!!! Love this look! It's got a little Elizabeth Taylor and Samantha's twin sister on Bewitched!! lol ' s
RIGHT ON! You read my mind on all counts!
She sounds kinda like Cindy Lauper singing this song.
instablaster.

personally i think at some point the Ventures should have toured like this, with a bunch of guest vocalists. Big time guest vocalists.
I like this version.Very cool
Secret Agent Man was written by P.F. Sloan. The song was originally written for a British TV show called "Danger Man".
josie cotton's vocal style was so unique and powerful, and so unconventional that it was totally punk rock
The Ventures, Josie Scott and the Ramones in one video. Now that is a landmark moment in history...
love her outfit
What a gem I never knew existed! I want the whole concert if there was one.
The Ventures: The 30th Anniversary - Super Session dvd
Remember making sure I was watching Secret agent Man each week for the opening song. Still have my Johnny River records from the 60s Live at the Whiskey is one of my favorites. Have some old Ventures records too. Originals are non existence any more.
Josie Cotton, Joan Jett and Pat Benatar are my 3 favorite female singers
Add Suzy Quatro to round out a great quartet!
GWGowans Would be an awesome show!!
best duo
Josie!
もう最高😃⤴⤴です❤
This is a great rendition of this song. Very well done.

The best
Josie has a great look and voice!
ほんとに、いい曲ですね❤
Josie's voice is a perfect match for this song. I can't tell you how many times I've watched this video since I first discovered it.
Josie is so gorgeous with an incredible voice. The total package
you ain't kiddin'.
I literally got chills when this song changed keys. (Rat Fink Forever!)
Certainly the best vocal Josie Cotton made and stunning performance with The Ventures !!!
Rock for ever !
great !!!
Fantastic!Josie manages to make the song hers while still paying homage to Johnny Rivers.
WOW WHAT A BABE. Venture's are GreaT Legends
If Josie Cotton were singing in 1966, and had sung this song on the Ventures' original recording, it would have given Johnny Rivers' original version a run for it's money on the Billboard Hot 100!
Um...actually, it did anyway 😁
Don't think so
Nah.
@@CassandrashadowcassMorrison Not even close.
@@jerrywoods4066you are correct sir. In fairness I don’t think it was ever meant to be sung as a soprano.
Mel was a smoking all purpose drummer that could play anything .
The ventures um dos melhores discos que eu tive um lp fora de série

R.I.P. Mr. Clark {1929 - 2012}...
Love her!!!!
Fire.
She sounds amazingly like Cindy Lauper
damn righteous performance all the way around...and Josie, you're F'n hot hot hot.
SO HOT!!!!! This Rocks more than any music today....
Here's an idea: Josie Cotton and Los Straitjackets.
Good idea. Exene did a nice song with them.
Looking like that , she would have made a pretty good Rizzo. She would have only been 22 when Grease was filmed.
WOW that black leather outfit
Greatttt !
EPIC!!!
Black leather skirt? Classic heels? Josie looks insanely hot in this video, and it's a worthy cover.
When women puts on leather clothing. Makes women feel comfortable and powerful
i have the urge to watch the man from uncle. boy she looks good here
Also Johnny Ramone played a Mosrite guitar just like the Ventures.
I wonder if that was a real piece Josie pulls out? She's awesome.
How effing cool is THIS? (And doesn’t Josie look like Elvira with short hair?)
So do-able...
Secret Asian man giving you a number and taking your name away Secret Asian man.
The Ventures only did a cover to the original hit by Johnny Rivers
Plot twist: that gun was loaded and she was going to assassinate The Ventures but changed her mind at the last moment.
I'm sorry but I do prefer the Johnny Rivers version.
Difficult being a secret asian man... well, isn't it?
This would be so much better if Josie Cotton was sitting on my face.
Heh, heh. I said 'ass' on the internet.
YOu rock bitch!
secret agent man isn't the Ventures.

Yeeahowww ZZ about:;!() You stop singing frank surnatra impersonator
нейросеть справляется плохо
インストルメンタルな曲ばかりだとおもってましたね。歌詞がついてるのは初めてききました。ジャパンソウル以外はね。
Uh..if only she was a blonde and her name was Debbie Harry. Otherwise.. so cool.
IF JOEY R. likes them. You gotta like em.
Josie is great but not impressed with this arrangement by the Ventures. Sounds like a bad kids band practicing.
Josie cotton is singing out of tune....
Johnny Rivers is so much better, vocals and guitar.
Is that Nokie Edwards?
