Russ, I have to agree with your friend above this thread..you have a virtually endless treasure trove of great covers in your catalog but finding this one totally and completely took my breath away-BRAVO!! 🎼🎤🎸🎹🎸🥁🎸
That is SUCH an advantage. Every snare strick is a power hit and you have faster access to your whole kit. Plus you can play all the Ringo fills just like he does. 👌 Nice.
Now this is really, really good! My wife & I both were teenagers in this era....We've been listening to several of your songs, and both of us can't help but smile with your rendition of songs from our youth....much appreciated!!!
Make that 4 people Glenn Campbell also covered it very well but to be fair he also played on Gary’s version with the Recking Crew, he also played on Young Girl and Lady Willpower so he definitely knew the songs well
Sun-ov-a-B dude!!! So sweet! You hit all the notes PERFECT!! I don't know if which is better: Your version or the original! For sure, the fact that You are performing everything, gets the nod here! I'm not kidding man!
I just realized that its the same guy singing and playing all the instruments. I've met Gary Picket over ovee times and of Course it's not Gary but it's a nice cover. Great job dude.
I'm 35 yrs old and at the age of 9 I was a huge fan of Gary Pucket ... I remember the first concert I ever went to was his here in Arizona where I live at this thing called the Ostrich festival and I was the only kid in the whole audience there as a fan 😊
Russ, yours is hands down my favourite site on the internet. Your covers never cease to amaze and entertain me. Thank you so much so sharing your talent this way. I wish that there was a Russ Willoughby channel on my car radio!
I don;t know how I missed these fantastic cover, I was listening to Gary Puckett and here you were. Russ this is the best cover I've ever heard of this song! Fantastic!
At 2:11... OMG... a Key Change! As if the song isn't high enough already! But you handle it so well! I just today started discovered Russ Willoughby and am totally impressed! It took me about 1 minute to figure out ALL those guys were the same guy! Russ can do everything. Play guitar, play bass, drums, keyboard, sing, and even record, mix, synch, copy videos to computer, edit, and put it in a package here on You Tube. Amazing. How does so much talent get crammed into one (old?) guy? How old are you? Where do you live? Lets get you out here to Las Vegas and in a show -- you'll need a band!
Wow, Dan, thanks so very much for the kind words; I really appreciate it! As for me, I'm 57 and live in southeast Indiana, near Cincinnati...where I grew up.
Wow this is incredible! I've always liked this song; and you've done a fantastic jobs with vocals and all of the music too; just wow! Thanks for sharing your talents!
From one musician to another I am in awe of your talent. Guitars, keyboards, drums and vocals are all in sync as always. Spot on start to finish. You sir are outstanding. Pretty sure Gary Puckett would give his approval. Continued great success.
😲 I happen to know a thing about a thing or two! This musician is a PRO! and he's bin in the Business and if he isn't, he is a music major or a GENIUS! GENIUS! GENIUS! 😲I know! Thanks for Sharing Your Music! 🇺🇲
Been enjoying your covers for several months now. I come back to listen/watch again and again. You always give credit to the talent of original artists of the music you perform. I'm old enough to remember when these songs were being played on the countdown and many were my favorites at the time. I had an enormous and varied collection of 45's and LP's. But you've ruined it for me now. You have so thoroughly captivated me through your own superlative talents that I barely enjoy the originals anymore. I love your covers, please don't ever stop adding more!
I see Gary Pucket and his current Union Gap (very small band, only one guitar, bass, drums, keyboard) here in Las Vegas, usually at the Southpoint hotel or downtown at the Golden Nugget. Perhaps he lives here now? Always a great show, still sings like he did in 1967, and sings all the hit songs he made famous. And they still wear the Union Gap costumes like they did in the 1960's!
Have seen Gary Pucket a great number of times and you kept the song straight to form and sound. Gary himself would be happy the Way this sounds. Thanks
Russ I JUST stumbled upon you! This version of Woman, Woman is phenomenal! Gary Puckett is not for the faint of heart and you absolutely nailed it. To be an entire band, with multi-tracked vocals is mind boggling!! Very well done sir!!!
My goodness Russ....I just love your work. What amazing musicianship. I'll bet it takes quite a bit to mix all this, video and blend but I for one appreciate every single number you do.....can't get enough...all fantastic selections. Thank you!
@@russwilloughby501 I have been a big fan of yours for about a year, since serendipitously discovering you! I was somewhat surprised, yet not, that you would tackle this uber-challenging vocal part. I think the biggest compliment you may ever have is the comment "on par with Gary Puckett." As a fellow/former musician, I concur--and I've always thought Gary had one of THE greatest voices in the biz---on par w/ Elvis! All the best to you/yours!
As others have said the vocals are amazing Russ! After reading the liner notes . . you are definitely a one man "wrecking crew"! Thanks again for all these wonderful covers!!
So much respect for your playing skills, but newfound and more respect for your vocals after this song! Nice vocals on a song with some serious high notes! You even sang quite a few of those notes better than ole Gary himself! Congrats!!
Awesome cover. I’ve spent the last few days listening to your covers. I’m in awe of your versatility. We’re about the same age and I record covers as well. I just haven’t gotten to the video arrangements yet. If you don’t mind me asking, what sequencing software do you use? And how the heck do you produce the awesome videos? Thanks for sharing your talents.
Wow, thank you! As for software, the only software I use is Movavi to put the video together. The audio is recorded track by track, live, into a Yamaha aw1600 16 track digital stand alone recorder. It's recorded and mixed down in the Yamaha, and then dumped to a cd, which I rip into my computer. I shoot each video as I record the audio, live, on my phone, and then dump the videos into the computer and then load them into Movavi, where I synch everything up.
An excellent job of tackling a very difficult song (vocal). I'm going to see Gary Puckett next week (March 11, 2022) at the Southpoint Hotel/casino here in Vegas. Has he ever heard of you? Does he know of your super great covers of all the songs that (you and I apparently) love so much? I'll ask him if he has seen this, and give him a link to it, or maybe a quick mp3 thumb drive of it to take home and then he can search and find all your great recordings!
It's unbelievable that you are not famous around the world in the true sense. But I will hell as well try to share your good self whenever I find the opportunity.
There is a classic Aussie song from the early 70s called wings of an eagle by Russell Morris, check it out here on RUclips, you may like to do a version
Sir is there nothing you cant do! As a fellow older musician I salute you spot on in all you do .
Nuclear fusion has always stumped me. Thanks so much, Dan; I always appreciate kind words from a fellow musician!
Every one of your covers I'm blown away ! How can you be so talented ! You can do everything !!!!!
Thanks, Timothy...I really appreciate it!
I would never have expected to hear a cover of this song. Ever. Amazing job all around, especially the vocals. Wow!
As always, many thanks, Sy; I appreciate it!
Every cover of his that I’ve heard tonight is simply amazing 😻 just found him thirty minutes ago
Russ, I have to agree with your friend above this thread..you have a virtually endless treasure trove of great covers in your catalog but finding this one totally and completely took my breath away-BRAVO!! 🎼🎤🎸🎹🎸🥁🎸
Yep I’m speechless🌹
Amazing cover of one of my favorite songs! Amazing production. Bravo!
Many thanks!
Great job. You have that vocal down perfectly! Plus like that you ride with your left and snare with your right. 👌👌
Thanks, pal....most appreciated! I'm a lefty, but learned on a right-handed set up...at the time I didn't know there was a difference.
That is SUCH an advantage. Every snare strick is a power hit and you have faster access to your whole kit. Plus you can play all the Ringo fills just like he does. 👌 Nice.
Nice cover ! Gary Puckett had such a powerful voice.
Yes indeed! Thanks so much!
Now this is really, really good! My wife & I both were teenagers in this era....We've been listening to several of your songs, and both of us can't help but smile with your rendition of songs from our youth....much appreciated!!!
I have heard several people do this song over the years .3 people have owned it .Jim glacier, Gary Puckett, and now you. Incredible. Keep it up
Much appreciated! Thanks so much!
Make that 4 people Glenn Campbell also covered it very well but to be fair he also played on Gary’s version with the Recking Crew, he also played on Young Girl and Lady Willpower so he definitely knew the songs well
Very strong performance! Vocals were spot on! This was definitely one of your best covers..
Thanks a ton!
You are indeed a great music player and creator. Thanks for your great EFFORTS !!!!!

This has to be the best cover I have ever heard. Amazing range and powerful voice! Wow
Great when you belt it out, and great harmony!
Thanks! Belting it out is only way I get to those high notes!
What an amazing cover!! A truly incredible job Russ!!
I really appreciate it...thanks a million!
Sun-ov-a-B dude!!! So sweet! You hit all the notes PERFECT!! I don't know if which is better: Your version or the original! For sure, the fact that You are performing everything, gets the nod here! I'm not kidding man!

Dam. Singing gary puckett. Thats a voice wow

I had grown way-too-tired of this song...until now! Your cover of this great song has revived my faith in Gary Puckett. Enjoyed!
Agreed. Dead on vocals on this one Russ. Always top shelf. Instrumentation to be envied. That woman ain’t foolin no one.
...especially with that electronic ankle bracelet. Thanks much, Joe!
I’m sure Gary Puckett would be very pleased with your rendition of this song. Love your music Russ I’m a big fan, keep up the great work. Stay safe!
Will do...thanks so very much; I really do appreciate it!

Many thanks!
@@russwilloughby501 May I add that it's pretty cool that you play all your own instruments. That's not easy to do. You got some real talent.
Fantastic cover, Russ! That really required a lot of range and a lot of air. Superb cover, I think Gary Puckett would be pleased.
What a nice thought...thank you so much!
Sung with great feeing love it 🥰
Thank you so much 🤗
Another awesome cover of a great tune from the 60's!! You killed it Russ!!
Great vocals.............and........you were having so much fun!
Yes, it was a lot of fun....great tune. Many thanks!
That was g r e a t ! Thanks for creating this video. It looks like a labor of love.
It was! Thanks a million!

Wow, that's pretty cool; thanks for listening!
Your covers are a blast to watch! Great songs and musicianship! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you like them! Thanks so much!
Unreal, You are insane!!!!!
I've been called worse! LOL. Thanks so much!
