When I was a kid I loved this song, my father got me into wwe, it was well into my adult years that I put together that the mouth of the south was part of this band that rolled over the Beatles when no one thought it could be done. We love you jimmy!
the keyboard player in shirt and tie is classic. i'll bet that his coworkers have no idea how famous he was as a teenager... i hope that they all used their money wisely and are just doing this for fun.
So happy to hear him announce Larry Wall on drums. I have looked for information on him and he has the most limited digital footprint I have ever seen.
It's hard to tell how well they are playing on a performance captured on a wobbly cell phone with blabby broads yapping in the background ruining the song...you weren't there so you really shouldn't comment.
@senoryrey6429 the bpm's are lower here than on the original recording to allow for the aging of their vocals to not diminish the sound too much. They likely lack their former elasticity and cannot sing as quickly or play as quickly now. It is no putdown. We all age, hopefully, and this happens. They still sound terrific here imo. Very nice. They know their limits and don't push it. Very smart.
Worked with Jim Johnson MD in Natchez emergency room 2015-16. We would go through his iPod full of tunes. He kept a list of all songs that mentioned city of Memphis. I added one for him: America's Daisy Jane. Hey Jim, how you doing? From your favorite orthopod.
God bless you both. Emergency medicine is grueling. You are the real heroes. Thank you for your service. As a doctor you have a choice, a very difficult one, to practice emergency medicine. It is not easy, psychiatry is probably the only similar practice where it is just grueling. No other word. Low pay, in comparison to private practice and the hours, lack or time off. Treated like shit by the hospital board and patients. To maintain a good bedside manner when your exhausted and beat down is so hard. I hope you take time for you. Bless you and thank you.
The instruments sounded good. Of course they are not going to sound the same. They are 50 years older, and if any of them have been smoking their voice will definitely change.
When this was originally recorded in the studio, a LOT of special effects were added, especially the reverb and echo on Raspberry's voice, which is rather unique in its sound, along with the fact that the second half of the song is a duplicate of the first half. Without a ton of expensive sound equipment, and a recipe of what effects were added and how much, it is impossible to duplicate the original sound on a live performance. If you watch the various TV performances of this song on You Tube, you will notice they all sound like the original. This is because it IS the original dubbed in, with the Gentrys lip synching.
It's too bad they couldn't keep that wonderful tight, shuffle rhythm during the chorus that really made the song and drove the dancers crazy. This is not comparable to the original in feel, rhythm, or class.
It always makes me smile when old bands reunite and prove to all the youngsters that they still have it!
Love how this is an old man group with the mouth of the south.
The Mouth of the South..
Jimmy Hart…Going back to his roots..👍🏼🎼

Same here except I just found out today he was in this band. Jimmy is a true legend!
Legendary bunch of kids who struck gold, Jimmy Hart became very polished lead vocalist and showman. Anything is possible after rock and roll exposure.
I have new found respect for Jimmy Hart.
Fantastic! I wish I was there! The Gentrys still have it, and I love this song! Woah, the memories!
Love this song after soooo many years!
Living legend the greatest manger and wrestler and good singer my favorite all time Jimmy hart
The best uplifting song of all time
I was eight years old when I bought this 45! Yes, I was a weird kid who preferred vinyl to dolls!
LARRY RASPBERRY, folks. Original lead singer of Keep on Dancing by the Gentrys and awesome on guitar too!
Great to see them back together!
Lead singer still has that unique sound...
Who would have thought that one of them of them would become a famous wrestling manager?
Also with his musical background it’s no surprise that he recorded a lot of wrestlers entrance music.
I always liked thus song . They still have it.
the keyboard player in shirt and tie is classic.
i'll bet that his coworkers have no idea how famous he was as a teenager...
i hope that they all used their money wisely and are just doing this for fun.

My mother's maiden name was Wall, I wonder if we're related.
EDIT: I mean Larry and me, if only distantly. Obviously my mother and I were related.
@jb888888888 why 9 8's?
They wore this out @ skating rink around 1965 skated to it a gazillion times. I Like flip side
Make up your mind,It should been the hit..
Notice how Jimmy Hart didn't try to upstage anyone? He's always dependable. He always shows up.
I usually love when bands play their old stuff. But this song is truly a young persons song. The original is so damn good. This does it no justice.
bless your insight.

Great video..Thanks!
Still going strong.
The mouth of the south!
Jimmy The Mouth of The South Hart. Where’s his 📢?
The mouth of the south
Are all of these guys the original from 1965? On some videos on RUclips it seems to be only 6 guys.
Didn't JJ Mcguire play drums for them?
I wish some one would put up a clip of The Gentry's doing Peanut Butter And Jam.
There is one from the movie "It's a Bikini World" on youtube
It's in the movie, "Its a Bikini World" and theres footage of it.
Where is Ronnie?
1965
Waiting for Sivad and his hit song

I think the vocals were live in the old Hullabaloo videos I saw
Nice GIVE THEM CREDIT
this is what happens when you get old..and don't stay in the music biz. 4 of the original 6.. but still doing it !
What are you talking about? They're all there.
Song would cheer up the most depressed!
The instrume
OK..!..here we go!!!...hahaha...:)O(:...
At about 'one' minute...we get some real early Larry Raspberry!!!... _smile_ ...:)O(:...
With the average garage band the drummer would be behind when it was time to cut in.
......:)
It's too bad they couldn't keep that wonderful tight, shuffle rhythm during the chorus that really made the song and drove the dancers crazy. This is not comparable to the original in feel, rhythm, or class.
I love this song and this is not doing it justice
@@rolandkennedy80 yep your both right . I'm sorry but the back up singers suck
This is as bad as the clip I watched of them back in the early 60s, it's past time to retire guys.
this songs original band was bay city rollers 1971
Radhika Das actually the Gentrys recorded the song first in 1965.
Tim Trozzo hi thanks for letting me know..will pass this on to my eight year old son, he is the one who actually wrote the comment! I had no idea.
The original recording was less then 60 seconds so the producer simply added the break and laid it down again to make it right at 2 minutes long.
Yes, I’m sure your “8 year old son” knew who the bay city rollers were and he was watching this video.
Hahaha just admit you were wrong.
The original recording was by The Avantis in 1963.
Man poor drummer that band has players so out of time with each other!!!!!
For a blast from the past, check out the "Fabulous" Gentrys on Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour in 1964.
