- Brief interview by Hef with Doug Sahm, followed by live performance of "Mendocino". Show #25 taped 25 January 1969, also featuring Mort Sahl and Michael Caine. Originally aired 19 July 1969 on WOR-9, New York City, and 15 August 1969 on KTLA-5, Los Angeles.
All these years later, he's greater than ever! Nobody could sing like Doug Sahm.
It is his voice that make this song "Madocino" so good!
@@wimnoe9486 Mendocino
The consummate frontman.
A very Happy 84th Birthday to Flaco Jimenez. Leonardo Jiménez March 11, 1939 San Antonio, Texas. Founding member of Sir Douglas Quintet and the Texas Tornados. Winner of multiple Grammy's and other awards.
A legend in Tejano music. Many, many more Flaco...
WHY SKINNY ??
Flaco was not a part of the Sir Douglas Quintet.
Class. Real Class. This song has really stood the test of time. They were just superb. RIP Doug. Beautiful soul
Did Hugh Hefner steal your favorite Porno Mag or something. RIP Mr. Sahm AND Hugh Hefner.
Great to see and hear this video. What a great time that was back then
Augie Meyers on keyboards. A legend.
Love the organ
I had a beer with Augie Meyers in Laughlin, Nevada many years ago. A wonderful gentleman
@@markthompson7727 Very cool.
I bought one of his albums
All legends here
Was so great to see beautiful Sharon Tate there laughing smiling dancing and having a wonderful time. This is the way I prefer to remember her.
Oh my God, yeah. Just spotted her. Her fate was so tragic and the spooky thing is she died around my birth date and I'm spookily attracted to this video. RIP Sharon. 🤲🙏🙏
@@annakelman6627 I understand what you mean about the attraction to the video.
I thought I saw her but I wasn’t sure. Nice to have confirmation. Too bad this song wasn’t in the Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood soundtrack; it would have fit right in.
@@mretrain I remember when this show was on television many years ago, in my hometown it was late night weekends. There is an episode but I don't remember which one, where Sharon is there with Roman and they're sitting on a sofa with Hugh Hefner and he's interviewing them. I remember well when Mendocino was very popular on the radio. I still love the song.
Can you imagine dancing with Sharon Tate! Man!
Never forget, Doug Sahm..💜⚘☀️
Never seen Augie look so cool and Barbie is cute as a button.The best compilation of the group is the CD collection called "The Complete Mercury Recordings", if you can find a copy. The odd fact is "She's About a Mover" was recorded on London Records. "The Best Of Sir Douglas Quintet" is easily affordable on eBay.
What beautiful people dancing and enjoying themselves. No tattoos or torn jeans to be seen, just classy clothes. For the young ones, these could be your grandparents dancing. It was a fabulous time to be young.
"No tattoos or torn jeans"? Aren't you just a bundle of good vibrations.
Maybe you didn't know very many hippies 😂
WELLLL,,THAT WAS THE LATE SIXTIES YOU MIGHT ALSO SEE ON INSPETION THE HAUGHTY,CONDESCENDING NATURE OF SOME OF THESE"ELEGANT" DANCERS. I'M SURE THEY CONSIDERED IT AN OFFSHOOT OF COUNTRY MUSIC.. THEIR LACK OF RESPECT WAS INFURIATING. I MIGHT ALSO REMIND....DO YOU REALLY THINK THE MANSION AND HUGH WOULD LET THEM DRESS IN ANY MATTER BUT ELEGANT ,NO MATTER THE YEAR/CIRCUMSTANCE ??
This was a staged production for television. Every one was in something wardrobe chose.
what a stupid thing to say
Great song! And Barbi Benton in the background!
I AGREE, AND SHE HAD THE PREREQUISITE MOVES
41 likes and 0 dislikes..........it's a great song by a great band, how can anyone dislike this? Cheers!!!!!
41 dislikes are Democrats.
Needs more Mendocinoudity.
@@eddiesaninocencio6635 No, it's the Trumpublicans that don't like Doug and the Hippies !
A song so great if he named it Newark, New Jersey, it would still have been a hit !
Amazing how easy Doug and the band made it look to be this good! And how groovy an atmosphere that Hef created its no wonder everyone had a great time. The vibes of the 60's thankfully live on with the music which I make sure to listen to often to keep that feeling alive in my life. The plastic programmed music most producted today is mind numbing rather than uplifting and enlightening like the music of the 60's!!!
Well stated
"how groovy an atmosphere that Hef created its no wonder everyone had a great time". Jeezus, you're naive.
These songs always take me to places I like going to, thank you Doug.
When I finally got to Mendocino this song played in my head constantly. Good memories.
Sir Douglas Quintet... avec "Mendocino" en 1969, que de très bons souvenirs... Cette mélodie a quelque chose de spécial... Merci encore au dépositaire.
Qui la musique aujourd,hui est tres mauvais!
I saw Doug perform many times at various venues in Austin. There was a magical night when Doug wasn't performing we shared some beers and smoke at Soap Creek Beer Garden @Academy Drive. and plenty of "after-party". He was a true Texas Legend and kind soul in every way.
That is awesome
I was following Doug around Austin at that time also. His shows were always a kickass party! Dance floor was jam-packed, beer was flowing, and if you weren't having a good time that was your own damn fault!
Not funk. Not country. Just a new style that was heavy on a constant backbeat. Never drops. Excellent clip.
Cajun Rock!
No one today could write a song like that if their life depended on it!
True that
God is that the truth!
Sure they can. Happens all the time. It just doesn't get promoted like the schlock that gets so heavily promoted today.
What a great time to be alive and experience that scene .
Thanks for all those beautiful vibrations Sir Doug. We miss you.
This clip is a treasure.
You YOUNG GUYS y’all will never ever hear that kind of sound and Texas music anymore. God bless the Texas Toronto’s.
TexasTornados not Torontos
Texas Tornadoes
What a great song by The Sir Douglas Quintet. Shows how Doug Sahm could write a great song with just two chords.
this song never fails to make me happy. and this is a great clip. they rocked with a Texas Mex groove.love it thank you.
Just a couple of years after this I moved to Mendocino, it is still like the song 50 years later.
So much talent in that room....What a great time to live through. I miss them 💗
The talent was on the stage.
I just retired from Southwest Airlines (pilot) - not once leaving or coming into the Bay Area from the North (over Mendocino) did I not sing this song to myself. Somethin' 'bout it..
My teenie bopper, My teenage lover.
Oh what a time when people were not so uptight like today.
TODAY,S PEOPLE ARE LOOKING LIKE ZOMBIES!
@@jgmdewilde8078 They might not know good music, but today's young people can surely tell you if something is racist or not! 😆
Woewee awesome time capsule.Doug Sahm was such an underrated talent, what a legend!
Doug Sham had that x factor of true warmth and talent. this is really great.
Teeny bopper, my teenage lover. My how time has changed.
Love the smoothness, the grooviness and the love, and such a great voice.
Well back in 1969 I was in grade 6 , I can't say I ever heard of The Sir Douglas Quintet back then but I did know who Barbi Benton was which was and still is more important . Great song .
Benton was arm candy. Really?
Everyone, in the World, knows who "Barbi Benton" is, because you.
She was a hottie to be sure. But "more important"? I don't think so. 😎✌
These guys belong in the rock hall of fame.
And Knighted by the Queen.
with all due respect... piss on rhof
Like we say out here in California or sorry we used to say before before the state became a fucking socialist Utopia supposedly, fuckin a ray you are correct!
The spirit never dies.................................................
Uh, no they don't...
This clip had me chuckling so much: Doug's outsized side-whiskers, a YOUNG Michael Caine, Hugh Hefner dancing to the rock with BARBI BENTON!!!
G
+ecavuto I didn't notice Caine until the third time I saw this. Caine seemed to enjoy Sahm's presence.
got to love it
Good Times
Michael Caine. Alfie and Harry Palmer himself and so cool that Madness the band named a song after him!
Oh gosh look at the people so happy ..
Sir Douglas quite 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Very small production room.
To think I was TWO months old when this aired. I love these ancient clips because they take me back to the things that surrounded me when I was a little boy. I can still remember people dancing like that, those hair-dos, Sahm's huge side-whiskers, Michael Caine actually being trim. LOL My father, who was "too old" to rock back then, bought this single--and several others from the day. Awesome time-travel video. LOL
This sounds so much like the record I picked up in a bargain bin long ago that it is hard to believe it isn't a lip-sync. The distorted lead vocal, the muddy mix, the "spontaneous" remarks, all match what I remember from the record.
My God, Barbie Benton was so effing cute!
Just discovered Doug Sahm in the process of cataloging my 5000+ albums. Was curious so I played the Mendicino album, it blew my away. Ironically I am a huge Freddy Fender fan too. Awesome video, thanks for posting it up.
How many other albums do you have that you have no idea about? Did you inherit a collection? I have between 4 and 5,000 albums, but I bought them For the music that's on them. They're alphabetized so I can find anything I own in less than a minute, but I'll admit I don't play very many of them anymore. Usually, I'll look up something I want to hear on youtube. That way, I still run across little gems like Sir Doug at the Playboy Mansion from back in the day. The Mendocino album is still great as ever, but the video tells a whole other story. Keep on rockin.'
@@rubnsracn I am up to about 8600 now, totally cataloged on a data base with all info. Yeah, you tube and wikipedia is great for finding more gems. I do not listen to much of my music cuz I have so much
@@Oceansiders You just can't beat the "warm" sound of well cared for vinyl.
Far out!! I remember seeing this on playboy after dark! And I was only 10 years old!! My sister had the album.
That band was just incredibly cool.
My uncle Jim Stallings on bass Dec 1969 had a hit all over Europe with a song named heya
What a terrific clip. This brings back many memories about that era. I love seeing the Afros, the huge sideburns, the hilarious dance steps. Reminds me I'm a man out of my time! When I saw Hef wiggling with Barbi Benton I laughed OUT LOUD! Worth its weight in gold! Hard to believe that's the same Doug Sahm who was in the Texas Tornados, though. Looks like two completely different people!
One of the greatest popsong ever.
I'm from Minnesota and I love Mendocino🦄😎🦄❤it💛it💚it✌👍👍
On this day in 1969 {March 22nd} the Sir Douglas Quintet performed "Mendocino" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'...
At the time the song was at #30 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, the following week it would peak at #27 {for 2 weeks} and it spent fifteen weeks on the Top 100...
Besides "Mendocino", the Texas quintet had three other Top 100 records; "She's About A Mover" {#13 in 1965}, "The Rains Came" {#31 in 1966}, and "Dynamite Woman" {#83 in 1969}...
Group leader Douglas Wayne Sahm passed away at the young age of 58 on November 18th, 1999...
May he R.I.P.
...one of the the greatest hits of former times in Germany but only in in the german version by Michael Holm, still hearing it today in parties and clubs... everybody is singing....
i love sir douglas.but barbi benton dancing with hugh is priceless!!!
i still have her centerfold!!
Wunderschöner Song,das Original übertrifft alles.Danke,❤❤❤❤❤
Playboy After Dark, lots of groovy, beautiful people, digging the sounds of the Sir Douglas Quintet, what is better? I love this video, lots of love and cosmic vibrations to all you mystical wizards and unicorns out there 🎉🌶️💕🎊🎉
V well boys. Good work. Thank you.
Love this song, and the lead singer is a dreamboat!
ydoyou wannano He certainly is handsome in this clip; my sister went to high school with Doug....love those mutton chops!
Indeed and he was a very charmant guy!
Das beste was es gibt 😂❤
History and its best!!! Doug Sahm is a musical genius!!!
There she is a sweet Sharon Tate rest in peace
Yeah indeed the way in which she was murdered was very horrible, she was such a beautyfull woman, R.I.P Sharon!
Texas girl!
I love this song!
Great song, I used to listen to that on Sydney's 2UW Top 40 countdown every Sunday night back in 1969 (I was in 2nd year of high school then). You can tell that was LIVE, and they did a really good job. Doug Sahm is really cool, and looked a lot like Dutch Prog-Rocker Thijs van Leer (from Focus) back then. That was Frank Morin on maracas, and he played all the brass for them, and sang harmony in that one (shame the camera wasn't on him during the harmonies). Good on Hugh Hefner for putting on these bands on his high-profile TV show. (Nice babes too; ) Oh yeah, Augie Myers on organ, Harvey Kagan bass, and John Perez drums.
Women knew how to groove to rock music back in those days!
The band, and each one of them were awesome! I do keyboards and this was up on my list!,,nailed it.
I spent 5 years in San Francisco, early eighties, and a lot of time in the
Redwoods, Humboldt County. 🤪
Mendicino is no longer as the song
Romanticizes. If your in the wrong place, you disappear. The place is
So bad that it's population moved out. The pot cartels has a regime of
migrant terrified workers and soldiers at ready to protect that region
That is so sad. It’s a beautiful place place.
Disco Stu's dancing is way over the top man!
Eine der ersten Single die ich als Discjockey auflegte !Was für eine Zeit!
you can see Michael Caine and Barbi Benton in the background
Well spotted!
If you need a good chuckle, find videos of all the Michael Caine impersonations. Amusing. Barbie Benton is still fine!
real scary fucking shit, playboy after dark was way ahead of it's time
What a great band wonderfull time and good live music
war damals die Welt noch in Ordnung...ich glaube nicht...aber wenigstens gab es tolle Musik...Danke Doc Sam ❤❤❤
Great video!! Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, Cheryl! Any relation to Doug?
Daughter In Law :)
Nice!
Cheryl Sahm I've been looking for the documentary about Doug. Do you know anything about that? Merry Christmas
His pork chops should be in a museum. Awesome
Love dough sahms voice!!
This is so damn Groovy. I was 10 and watch Playboy after Dark. Friday nights!! Thanks for posting
Hef was just so cool . He liked the music of my generation and knew it didn't all sound the same. AND obviously he knew how to throw a party !
He definitely didn't like the music. He was a businessman and he knew how to sell things.
Hef really knew how to throw a party.
The best song of all time!
Master!!!!! he's the big Master there's no one like him...
Man, those “chicks” are feelin’ it. And Hugh is a great dancer.
This guy was so cool! great band!
Shit!It's been a long time since i heard this tune. Still chimes through hi doug.❤❤
As a newbie fan of Doug Sahm/Sir Douglas Quintet, I just have to say that this clip is, like, really groovy and out of sight. Can you dig it?
OMG .. Jan 1969 I was waiting for word that I was excepted into the Military ... I was 17 years old and I remember this song well
I went into the USAF 2 months later. Liked the song too!
Me gusta su vestimenta sencilla y original tipo cawboy y vaquero único del sesenta y nueve Doug sahm 👏👍❤️🎤❤️ Mendocino
I heard that Barbi Benton, at age 20, told Hef she had never dated [had sex? ] with anybody over the age of 25. H.H. says, "Me too." My hero. R.I.P.
Beautiful voice!!!
Awesome THE GOOD TIMES !
Mendesino è una canzone del mio tempo. Ci tengo di risentirla con gli ospiti che ballano filmato vecchio, che mi ricorda i miei tempi. Mendesino, è stata una conzone di successo, e sono entusiasta di rcordarlo a tutti.
el mejor tema.saludos desde argentina
Brings back very pleasant memories of an era I doubt we'll ever "feel" again. P.S. I was 11 years old in 1969. Thanks for letting me reminisce(for a little while). NEATO! :) Vielen Dank'!
wow the 60s now that looked fun
very pretty cool!!! i love it!!!
That was a real STAR.
Love this song since it came out in 1969.
I was 8 years old when I first heard this song, I was dancing to it then as I am now, my olderst brother was sooo cool and he turned me on to great music, Is that Disco Stu from The Simpsons dancing with Jesse Asshole Jackson? Any hoo great video, thank you for sharing
this is why i love youtube. it doesn't get much better. doug sahm was a genius and its such a goof to see him on this show!! play it augie! watch hef and barbie benton getting down!
Wow immer wieder toll.
I love this song.
You rock - I thank you for both the video & the block
Great song!
DOUG SAHM, TALENT THAT SHOULD HAVE IMMORTALIZED HIM WENT SO LONG UN RECOGNISED. LOCIENTO,DOUG,LOCIENTO MUCHO. R.I.P. PAL
Andres de Urdaneta and Miguel Legaspi left from Barra de Navidad Jalisco for the Philippines, but they didn't know how to return to Mexico.
The return voyage was made by Andres de Urdaneta and Felipe de Salcedo going to the north first and turn around of what is now kwon as the town of Mendocino California(named after Antonio de Mendoza) and then coming to south straight to Acapulco.
That's the story of Mendocino foundation.
This is when Amerika was sane!
And free!
Never quite sane, but kinda easy riding or tripping. Do you dig it? Lol
Yeah I dig it. Yes, your summation is more accurate, but I also dig "John Lennon"s sentiment too (ya think he's any relation ?)
@@forestsoceansmusic i met an English fellow named John Lennon during a study course in Ipswich Qld in 1990. Might be a common name in the UK.
Yeah, probably is a common name. Are you still in Qld?
This was lit af
American women (White and Black) of 1969 = prettier, thinner, and richer than now. For folks who like to get it on, it has been all downhill since '69........
Immer wieder gern gehört. Einfach nur toll
to bboucharde: Yeah, you're probably right, although in Australia, the 'downhill' didn't start til 1974 (but there were still lovely exceptions right up til 2010).
Richer???????????
Outstanding!
