    This song came out in 65 when I was 8 years old! Love it , did then, still do! Taught my grand daughters the song, they love! I'm 64 still dance to it, know the words still! Thank you Gary Lewis and the Playboy's! Another generation loves you! Me too!

      You and I were (are) the same age when this song came out. Something about this band and those songs that fill me with such bittersweet memories. Probably comes from the realization both my parents are gone now, while they were still young and around back then. When I listen to these songs now I feel them still with me.

    His mom was from Saint Charles, Michigan, a one horse coal mine in Saginaw County. I used to listen to him singing " This Diamond Ring" on the juke box on post st Warner Barracks in Bamberg, Germany when I was an army brat in the 7th grade. I ate lunch with the G Is there because our school didn't have a cafeteria. Nine years later, I partied with him at "The SCENE" in Saginaw whete he wss performing. He sat right next to me at our table and we talked and partied for quite awhile and I got gus autograph. Thst place is a strip club now. Thank God for those memories because thete isn't much left worth fighting for (by design) How ironic..I'd love to change the world but I don't know what to do. So I leave it up to you. Keep on ROCKIN, America in NAME ONLY, in what used to be the free world.for what it'$ WORTH! I'd say " Gimmee s ticket for an airplane but there'$ no place else to go.

    I wonder what Jerry thought of Gary, musically, that is. Jerry was not a rock 'n' roll fan. He leaned very heavily toward big band jazz. I'm sure he was proud of his son's success in the entertainment biz. It's not easy to step out of the considerable shadow of a film and comedic legend and shine. Gary did.
