No no. I hate to be a prick, but I feel I HAVE to correct you, it's not that many people can't sing in falsetto- it's just that not many people have been able to do it so convincingly they confuse the listener into thinking it's an old black woman... Hey they lonely girl Is a good example of a wonderful falsetto (eddie holman) but even then, I feel like the masses could hear he was a man. larry here, whoa, what age and wisdom in those pipes and expressed with his inflections. Blown away because at age 42 I'm just now getting to see this song I grew up with ISN'T sung with a woman on lead vocal
FIRST thing I noticed watching these old AB videos...Dick was WAY ahead of his time! This would have NEVER happened at the same time I was growing up in Atlanta, GA.
You rarely hear "Everything's Alright" today,but it's a criminally undervalued '60's classic as are "Run,Baby,Run" and of course,"Bread And Butter." Larry Henley,the Bill Clinton look-alike falsetto singer,died exactly seven years ago at age 77.(Dec.18,2014.) RIP, Larry,your fans will never forget you !!!!
Everything's Alright got its due. It was a sizeable hit in Detroit. The lyrics were extraordinarily intense, topped perhaps only in 1965 by the Duprees' Around The Corner, in which the victim meets his end. Classic performance.
I've been listening to this song for years. Love It!! Larry Henley was a great talent and had the best falsetto voice I've ever heard. Song lifts the spirits, brings back many happy memories, and keeps me dancing. LOVE LOVE LOVE this.
Totally agree. When I'm down, I will put this on my phone, listen with headphones, do some gardening or watering out in the backyard and just have a great old time. Love love love this music
I'm 52 this is the first time I ever heard this and I like this music big time I'm into Heavy Metal music and Classic rock and Country music also and now I'm in too this music I know this is older than I am
Just lost my Great Grandma back in June and she absolutely loved these songs. Hearing her and my Great Grandpa singing Bread and Butter, driving down the coast, to the aquarium as a kid has always been my favorite memory of her. I played this the night she passed and it helped me be somewhat at peace. I come back to it each time I get sad and just remember the smiles on their faces as she tried to match the vocals. She really was a wonderful person and I’m so glad to of shared a life with her. Truly amazing music how music can bring people together💚
My Brother is 41. When we were around 20 he'd randomly belt this song out. It was absolutely hilarious. I sent him a text about it the other day and he sent me this video in response
I hope your brother is doing well, my friend. I can imagine how much he loves that song, and honestly, I don't blame him! The song is catchy as hell! 🤭🤭🤭💙
I'm surprised howcome Lary never get a movie role to play as Mrs.Doubtfire,becouse he really do have femenine voice.PS:I have theirs song Mother In Law on my PS4 Cities Skylines Radio Station.
Larry Hinley is a good singer but come on to compare him to Frankie VALLI???? VALLI is one of the greatest singers of the rock era. I don’t believe there is anyone other singer that has the same vocal range as VALLI, and I’m not just referring to his fantastic falsetto.
In the early 60s I was in a band in Alabama we went to Columbus ga and opened up for them at the municipal auditorium I think there were ten k people there that night
First heard in 1966, I've never seen any vids of this group until now. Totally blown away by the lead singer. Unlike what I'd thought he would have looked like. What a surprise!!!
Isn't he neat? Certain mean can sing like women. Lou Christie has a very low voice. Frankie Valli has a great falsetto. But there can only be that blonde Newbeat!
I was starting seventh grade when " Everything's Alright" and Bread And Butter" hit,and I've LOVED those songs since.They don't make songs like that in 2018.And their falsetto singer,Larry Henley,looked almost EXACTLY like Bill Clinton.RIP,Larry!!!!
When I was eight I thought they had a black woman singing. I lived in a black neighborhood in the city where everyone else thought that too. "Bread and Butter" was very popular with my neighbors who knew all the lyrics. Then AB came on with the Newbeats and boy were we all surprised!
I'm too lazy to look it up right now, but I'm pretty sure when they we're on the cover of a music magazine, the caption was, Where's the girl? Got to listen to Pink Sally Rue by the Newbeats. Then move on to the young bees, Monday I got Friday on my mind.
I thought it was a munchkin on crack and helium., Fun times, innocent times. I'd like to spring this on an intro at a rap 'concert' just to see the reaction.
LARRY JOEL HENLEY ( 30 June 1937 - 18 December 2014 / 77 ) He was an American singer/songwriter, born in Arp, Texas, and is perhaps best known for co-writing ( with Jeff Silbar ) the 1989 hit record, Wind Beneath My Wings. The single was a U.S. # 1 hit for Bette Midler, and has since totaled more than six million radio airplays. The song earned Henley and Silbar the Grammy Award for Song of the Year for 1989, and Bette Midler the Record of the Year award. The song was originally recorded by Roger Whittaker in 1982 and has since been covered by numerous artists. He was also the lead singer of the pop group The Newbeats in the mid-1960s. The group had two hits which charted in the top 20 on Billboard magazine, with one of them, Bread and Butter, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard charts and selling over a million copies. He was a 2012 inductee into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and died on Thursday 18 December 2014 in Nashville, Tennessee at the age of 77.
But if you get them snipped off, you can sing like Larry and be a rock star. Then, all the girls will like you, but you will be a eunuch. What do you think? Fair trade off?
"Gangin' up on my baby..." Thanks! After all these years, I know what he's saying. Oh, why does DeptofRevenue down there have a picture of that guy who killed all those little school kids as his/her icon? Just wondered...
Good lord! I'm now 59 and remember "Bread and Butter" from back in the day when I was a wee one and first, I always thought it was a black woman singing and the group was black as well! Love YT!
It's easy if you aren't 'packing a pair'. I was a baritone at age 12, and I always kept my guard up around any men who sounded like this. Spooky, isn't it? And it isn't even a good song at that.
@@leelarson107 asinine comment? Yes it is. Larry, on any hit record no matter who sings it...male or female...we, and I mean everyone, all, either sing along or by one's self. You don't need a pair!!
@@ryanheisey7719 how great to see that someone else, actually, remembers Lou Christie! He appeared on American Bandstand back then, too, if I'm not mistaken. He, also, was a favorite of mine.
actually all records are blank and there are tiny singing elves in the speaker boxes. It took years for the elves to get human accents right, that's why the very early records (from the 20's and the 30's or before) have such strange sounding vocals. The elves went on strike in the 90's, which is when humans, who would work cheaper, replaced them with rap music. The industry never recovered, causing a great depression in Elfland.
@@Astyanaz the only rapper I was ever able to understand is Too Short and, although, his lyrics were hilariously obscene...some..very relevant to our times, though... he's still No 1 rapper in my book!
RIP Larry Henley, not many people can do falsetto, one of the best singers ever.
I love you wherever you are, I wish I could have known you,
@@donnadenny245 Do you really, well good for you.
No no. I hate to be a prick, but I feel I HAVE to correct you, it's not that many people can't sing in falsetto- it's just that not many people have been able to do it so convincingly they confuse the listener into thinking it's an old black woman...

People of different races sitting together enjoying music ......what a concept. All part of the human race !!!!
FIRST thing I noticed watching these old AB videos...Dick was WAY ahead of his time! This would have NEVER happened at the same time I was growing up in Atlanta, GA.
I love seeing peoples reaction to Larry Henley's voice especially in Bread and Butter

HOW DID HE LEARN HE COULD SING LIKE THAT? !! Was he brought up in a singing type 50:s neighborhood? There is A STORY THERE!!!

Love the newbeats always have and he did not talk in this voice ! what talent would love to see them again in person .

WOW, this guy's voice is AMAZING!!!
Thank god for Dick Clark. Watched from Philly and LA
Got this one on vinyl, and it
still plays! Hickory Records forever!
This song makes you happy and hungry at the same time.
You are absolutely correct You rarely hear all those great songs
Wonderful und wunderbar!😉. All right and alles richtig! Newbeats are amazing band forever!👌👍🖐
Loved this as a 7 year old listening to WLS. Love that falsetto.
Larry Hinley had one of the best falsetto voices ever. These guys were original.....loved them.
super high notes
I always thought that was a woman singing. A woman blues singer
That falsetto is crazy. Him and donnie elbert are next level. The falsetto from the charades is in that categorie too i think as well
Angelo from the Belmont's, FALSETTO MAN !
Lead singer Larry Hinley's falsetto gave Frankie Valli's falsetto a run for his money!
Franki Valli's not in the same league!
Forsure! but I dont get why people compare singers lol
No doubt, my boy!
@@jeffstetson You're right. Frankie Valli's light years ahead of Larry Hinley.
Larry Hinley is a good singer but come on to compare him to Frankie VALLI???? VALLI is one of the greatest singers of the rock era. I don’t believe there is anyone other singer that has the same vocal range as VALLI, and I’m not just referring to his fantastic falsetto.
this song is every one
favorite ❤❤
Fabulous song
everythings all right - thank you so much for this upload
In the early 60s I was in a band in Alabama we went to Columbus ga and opened up for them at the municipal auditorium I think there were ten k people there that night
I was seven back then and knew every word to these songs.
these guys are GREAT!!! what a voice - I thought it was a female when I heard the song but the voice WOW!!! LOVE IT!!!!
Great clip!
The kids sure love this sonr!
Cool tune, always liked it since way back then, talented crew, especially the lead singer.
Super amazing !!!
Original and fantastic. Beats today's crap anytime. 1964.....I was19 what a time to be alive.
Larry just passed away there run baby run is great one
I was looking up the Sunbeam commercial and was shocked to find it was an actual song. Love this clip with Dick Clark.
...and Larry's vibrato...with the falsetto. Wow.
Whats that mean
Jimmy Somerville of Bronski Beat had a fantastic, soulful, falsetto voice.
cool....great singer...reminds me of the great Frankie Valli
First heard in 1966, I've never seen any vids of this group until now. Totally blown away by the lead singer. Unlike what I'd thought he would have looked like. What a surprise!!!

He always reminded me of the late actor Rutger Hauer.
Bet that guy in the middle with the fantastic falcetto voice had the great Frankie Valli panicking!
a beast!

Darn it, typos
Sensacional!!!!
I was always intrigued by (what I assumed to be) the woman's voice in this song, LOL
Ditto 😆
That falsetto voice coming out of Henley was amazing!
Singer wrote wind beneath my wings for film Beaches
I thought it was a munchkin on crack and helium., Fun times, innocent times. I'd like to spring this on an intro at a rap 'concert' just to see the reaction.
cute song (bread and butter)

Hey....doing the Carlton....years before....LOL
FALL GOLD 🥇 from 1964.
when I first herd this I thought it was a black women. lol
You watch too much Police Academy lol
i love that movie. lol
Me too
Eversince Bread& Butter was popular, I thought a female & male sang this. Two years ago found out it isn't ! Was disappointed 🤦🏻♀️
I always knew it was a white dude deep down though. lol
Love it,
Brothers Dean and Marc Mathis had an earlier hit as a duo in 1959 -- "Tell Him No".
Larry Henley was the Grandfather of The Heavy Metal vocal style .
This was broadcast about six or seven months after "American Bandstand" moved from Philadelphia to Hollywood.
such cute girls in the audience
Shall we vote?? Who wore his underwear the tightest, Larry Hinley, Lou Christie or Frankie Valli.
hinley or valli i cant really decide lol
marky mylàrky
Definitely this guy
Love his voice
Larry 100% highest... Also, what about Leo Sayer??
Two Faces Have I
for over 30 years, Aunt Jemima sang these songs as I drove down the road...
satsang73 COOOL CAT!!!
CLASS WITH A CAPITAL K....
I was surprised when Walter Mosley mentioned this song in one of his mystery novels.
Larry does a great job imitating a black lady singing
Bob and Travis with Larry
😎👍🏴☠
great voices...always thought they we're British....
Yep INDEED ❗😋
OOOOoooooo beyyyyyybeh.... hooool me tight...😳
Does anyone know if Larry was related to Don Henley of the Eagles?
nice
young Bill Clinton really could belt out a tune.
a rare thing...american mods in the 60's
Listening to that falsetto makes me glad that I have a pair of testicles.
But if you get them snipped off, you can sing like Larry and be a rock star. Then, all the girls will like you, but you will be a eunuch. What do you think? Fair trade off?
Lol 4:24 I love how they fade out on the lip syncing
"Gangin' up on my baby..." Thanks! After all these years, I know what he's saying. Oh, why does DeptofRevenue down there have a picture of that guy who killed all those little school kids as his/her icon? Just wondered...
The girl in glasses at last minutes of Bread and Butter looks sooooo familiar......... anybody know???
He sounds like Fantasia Barrino from AMERICAN Idol can you just picture her singing that part 😝😝😝😝
“I like BREAD N Butter N I like toaster jam”😝😝😝😝😝
Good lord! I'm now 59 and remember "Bread and Butter" from back in the day when I was a wee one and first, I always thought it was a black woman singing and the group was black as well! Love YT!
The guy who sings high notes looks like my Granny.
I wonder what's left of his vocal chords after a few years of singing.
Holy shit, a *guy* was doing that high voice?
It's easy if you aren't 'packing a pair'. I was a baritone at age 12, and I always kept my guard up around any men who sounded like this. Spooky, isn't it? And it isn't even a good song at that.

Wow his male falsetto is the highest I've heard, is that bad on the vocals?
Try lou christie especially the gypsy cried
@@ryanheisey7719 how great to see that someone else, actually, remembers Lou Christie! He appeared on American Bandstand back then, too, if I'm not mistaken. He, also, was a favorite of mine.
How did he get that voice just great
You wouldn't want to know... it was a very painful accident.....
walmart is using this song for their GROCERY PICKUP AD!!
Are they still performing ? great songr.
Are they alive in 2024?
Black women sure looked different back then.
The two songs are almost identical, except for lyrics.
That audience was getting quite rowdy by the second performance. Could this be the origins of the mosh pit?
they look like thunderbirds
Well I like bread and butter. Is this guy cool or what!!!
Whats amplifying there voices....
***** Most all of the performers on American Bandstand lip synced their songs which I think was a good idea.
Some performers could lip sync better than others.

That's why we grew long hair.
When l first heard this here song on internet radio.l thought this was a woman singing.
3:36 wh..what?
Dude dropped acid before he went on stage, its cool. He trippin balls.
1:34. Man, that blonde is HOT!!! I wonder how she looks 50 years later.
Well, she's a guy, so ....
I always thought it was a woman singing bread and butter when I first heard this .
Lol, this is my breakfast song 4/2021
Larry reallt looks like a younger Bill Clinton in this video.
Ääätsch, die tolle, hohe Stimme stammt von einem Mann, und nicht von einer vollbusigen Schwarzen. Siehe auch bei BREAD & BUTTER usw.

So this is what a Pink Pride Parade looks like.
