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.
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
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💚
Me and a cousin saw the Newbeats at the National Guard Armory in Evansville, Indiana in 1965. What a show. The main thing I remember from the show was all three of them could sing the falsetto lead. They took turns on Bread and Butter.
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
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.
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 the lead singer, had quite a career as a song writer in the 80's and 90's. He received a grammy for co writing Wind beneath my Wings sung by Bette Midler, and several number 1's
Everything's Alright was such an intense single. A hallmark of high drama. We are immeasurably blessed that this live lip sync performance of it has survived.
As noted above, on October 3rd, 1964 the Newbeats performed "Everything's Alright" on the above episode of the ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'... Three weeks later "Everything's Alright" entered Billboard's Top 100 chart position #90, seven weeks later it would peak at #16 {for 1 week} and it spent nine weeks on the Top 100... It reached #6 on the Canadian RPM Singles chart... And on the same 'Bandstand' show the trio also performed "Bread and Butter", at the time it was at #3 on the Top 100, two weeks earlier it had peaked at #2 {for 2 weeks}, the two records that kept it out of the top spot were "The House of the Rising Sun" by the Animals and "Oh, Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbison... Between 1964 and 1969 the Shreveport, Louisiana trio had seven records on the Top 100, one made the Top 10, the above "Bread And Butter"... Member Larry Henley, falsetto singer, passed away at the age of 77 on December 18th, 2014... May he R.I.P.
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.
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!!!!
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!
Seems that Dick overlooked that Dean and Mark were brothers from "Hahira" Georgia! Larry Henley (and his falsetto) is from Texas and in the late 80s helped pen Bette Midler's classic: "Winds Beneath My Wings" Terrific clip here of "The Newbeats" !
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
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.
There was nothing but lip synching in those days unless it was a big network show. Shows like American Bandstand could not afford to pay the performers to do a song live.
I guess my radio station, WHB, never played this song. Never heard it until today, 2021. Only ever heard Bread and Butter. Also, never knew what they looked like until now. HAHAHAHA.
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.
The Newbeats, in long shot, look like they're all wearing prosthetic ears! Without the surviving Kinescope images , as distorted as they were, were all that was available to preserve live broadcasts. Before TV went coast-to-coast it's how 'fringe areas' saw the shows, via Kinescope. This is how thousands of live shows were preserved. They were first used in the late 40's and were still in limited use, long after video tape was introduced. I recently saw a film of Nixon's resignation. The print I saw was a black & white Kinescope, which surprised me because it was telecast in color. By this time video tape had long been the standard.
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...

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!!!
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.

Wonderful und wunderbar!😉. All right and alles richtig! Newbeats are amazing band forever!👌👍🖐
Just bought this album....love it...real quality music.

Love the newbeats always have and he did not talk in this voice ! what talent would love to see them again in person .
I love seeing peoples reaction to Larry Henley's voice especially in Bread and Butter
I totally LOVE THIS SONG AND BREAD & BUTTER ...can not stop listening!!!
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 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 !
I always love when they show the audience and how much fun they seem to be having!!!
You are absolutely correct You rarely hear all those great songs
whaaaaaaat i grew up listening to all the oldies and neeever expected that voice to be comin out of a guy like that..bhahahahaha dang thats awesome
Larry Hinley the lead singer, had quite a career as a song writer in the 80's and 90's. He received a grammy for co writing Wind beneath my Wings sung by Bette Midler, and several number 1's
WOW, this guy's voice is AMAZING!!!
Love Bread & Butter, the message is awesome.
Thank god for Dick Clark. Watched from Philly and LA
Loved this as a 7 year old listening to WLS. Love that falsetto.
Got this one on vinyl, and it
still plays! Hickory Records forever!
Everything's Alright was such an intense single. A hallmark of high drama. We are immeasurably blessed that this live lip sync performance of it has survived.
Brings back memories...it was just the other day...
He had to have been a ultra-soulful Black girl singer in a previous life...! Great!!
everythings all right - thank you so much for this upload
This song makes you happy and hungry at the same time.
they say, old school
day's...3rd time is a

Great sounding background vocals & a raw, gutsy falsetto make for a great chemistry here. Won’t forget it once ya’ hear it.

May he R.I.P.
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 ❤❤
Yaaaaaaaass good music.😊❤💪👍
Larry Henley...it doesn't get much better than "Everything's Alright" and the 25 thumbs down weren't there in 1964.
Great clip!
these guys are GREAT!!! what a voice - I thought it was a female when I heard the song but the voice WOW!!! LOVE IT!!!!
Dick Clark did a lot to help up and coming singers. May he rest in peace.
That falsetto vocal is off the chart. I can dig it!
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!!!!
He always reminded me of the late actor Rutger Hauer.
Fabulous song
Cool tune, always liked it since way back then, talented crew, especially the lead singer.
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!
LOVE THIS SONG !!!
I was looking up the Sunbeam commercial and was shocked to find it was an actual song. Love this clip with Dick Clark.
Bet that guy in the middle with the fantastic falcetto voice had the great Frankie Valli panicking!
The kids sure love this sonr!
Excellent clip..thanks!
Seems that Dick overlooked that Dean and Mark were brothers from "Hahira" Georgia! Larry Henley (and his falsetto) is from Texas and in the late 80s helped pen Bette Midler's classic: "Winds Beneath My Wings" Terrific clip here of "The Newbeats" !
Super amazing !!!
I was seven back then and knew every word to these songs.
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
...and Larry's vibrato...with the falsetto. Wow.
Whats that mean
Larry just passed away there run baby run is great one
👍🏻❤️✌🏻they were great.
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!

Darn it, typos
I was always intrigued by (what I assumed to be) the woman's voice in this song, LOL
Ditto 😆
Jimmy Somerville of Bronski Beat had a fantastic, soulful, falsetto voice.
I'm surprised there wasn't an uproar about them lip synching! :) That is a crazy voice! Never heard of these guys until today!

Sensacional!!!!
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
cool....great singer...reminds me of the great Frankie Valli
Hey....doing the Carlton....years before....LOL
Original and fantastic. Beats today's crap anytime. 1964.....I was19 what a time to be alive.
I always liked this one more then Bread and Butter.
Dat voice :D

Larry does a great job imitating a black lady singing
for over 30 years, Aunt Jemima sang these songs as I drove down the road...
Larry Henley was the Grandfather of The Heavy Metal vocal style .
Henley really does bear a striking resemblance to Mister Bill.
Yep INDEED ❗😋
satsang73 COOOL CAT!!!
Continental suits verry BOSS!
Such a nice subtle way of saying you caught your wife cheating on you lol
Makes Tiny Tim sound like an alto.
Makes me want to watch Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger in 9 And Half Weeks
Classic Memphis!
Bob and Travis with Larry
Brothers Dean and Marc Mathis had an earlier hit as a duo in 1959 -- "Tell Him No".
This was broadcast about six or seven months after "American Bandstand" moved from Philadelphia to Hollywood.
nice ears all 'round
by. ml NB. ,
I was surprised when Walter Mosley mentioned this song in one of his mystery novels.
lead singer wrote wind beneath my wings
Singer wrote wind beneath my wings for film Beaches
a rare thing...american mods in the 60's
Listening to that falsetto makes me glad that I have a pair of testicles.
