Terrific song! "Time of the Season" is also a classic by The Zombies. However, Rod Argent left the band to create the amazing Argent, which created some of the greatest Prog Rock music ever, especially on their Circus album, but they are best known for their hits, Argent's biggest hit being the classic '70s track "Hold Your Head Up," which is one of the greatest songs ever. ALWAYS react to the long version of HYHU. You will put it immediately on your playlist, it's that stinking great! Argent, my man! ❤✌
@@stratocruising "Thunder and Lightning" and "Man For All Reasons" are also great, radio friendly songs, but "Circus" "Trapeze" and "Clown" from the Circus album are Prog foundations for future bands, sounding more like Prog from the late '90s or '00s than the mid '70s.
The Zombies were just so damned _cool_ . By all means, "Time of the Season" is a truly necessary 1960s cut, and many of their other songs are still fresh, like "Tell Her No" and "I Remember When I Loved Her." Keep an eye out; they may gig near you soon!
Another one of the great British bands from the 60's. Their biggest hits were "She's Not There", "Tell Her No", "I Love You" & "Time Of The Season". Some other songs by the group are "Woman", "I Remember When I Loved Her", "The Way I Feel Inside", "I Can't Make Up My Mind", "I Don't Want To Know", "What More Can I Do" etc. Their 1968 album Odessey & Oracle is really great!
Songs by the Zombies were still playing on the radio in the 70s. "Time of the Season" and "She's Not There." The band Argent, featuring Rod Argent of the Zombies, had a 70s anthem "Hold Your Head Up."
"Canned audience" is the sound of laughter or applause in live shows, where the sound is taped and played, so a laugh track or applause track, rather then the actual audience. You hear it in many live recorded TV shows in the 60s, where the audience response might have been quiet, but the producers put the sound of people laughing at the end of a joke or funny scene, or applause at the end of a scene.
@@carolegrafton5748 I heard that they had to cancel. Was sad. They didn’t have dates set near me so I haven’t gotten to see them except for an online concert they put on earlier this year that was great.
I was 12 when this song came out and it is still a great song and a great memory. Hullabaloo (Hull-a-ba-loo) was one of several weekly music variety shows of the time. This one ran two seasons and was shown in Prime Time.
Colin Blunstone had a solo hit in the UK with Danny Laine's Say You Don't Mind. At the end of the song he hots a really high note. The Zombies are still performing live and Colin can still hit that high note.Not bad for a man approaching his 80s
That organ solo by Rod Argent is awesome. His Hammond B3 organ solo in the hit, "Hold your Head Up" by his later band Argent, is regarded by Rick Wakeman (keyboardist for the band, Yes) as 'the' greatest Organ solo ever!
I love that song. The Zombies' Time of the season is one of my favorite songs. The lyrics: "And let me try with pleasured hands To take you in the sun to promised lands" hits me deeply every.single.time. I think that you would like it.
The Zombies and The Animals are my favorite bands from the '60s. "Time of the Season" is just an incredibly sultry sound from The Zombies, and I highly recommend checking it out.
Wow, I haven't heard this song in years! I really enjoy sharing the music of my life with young people. You teach me trivia and sometimes, a new way of looking at old favorites. Thanks!
The Zombies feature in the 1965 movie "Bunny Lake Is Missing". They appear on the TV in the pub scene singing this song. It added to the palpable 1960s London vibe of that film.
I heard this song so many times, and loved it, when I was a kid (yes I'm really old) that to this day when I hear it I can't help but sing along out loud.
Canned Audience is a prerecored audience of people recored clapping, laughing, cheering, etc. ~ In early TV sitcoms they often added "laugh tracks" of prerecored audiences. as the show was filmed without a live audience. In this song on teen TV show "Hulaballo" the performance was lip synced by the Zombies from the studio recording.
I love seeing reactions to the music that was popular during my teen years. We took it all so for granted and the appreciation you have reminds me that we were exposed to such great music. Thank you for your analysis.
The British Invasion (about mid-60's) - Beatles, Zombies, Dave Clack 5 Herman's Hermits etc. - if you are OLD ENOUGH ( I AM) you lived though this and enjoyed it ALL !! :-)
Colin Blunstone voice is unbelievable and he has recorded solo albums as well as singer for the Alan Parsons Project. Rod Argent produced Colins solo albums as well as writing songs for him. I suggest you listern to "Old and Wise" which is very emotional song and highlights Colin's supreme tone and phrasing. The Zombies (never really broke up) have recorded new albums over the last few years. As a side note Santana did a cover version on their Moonflower album which with deeper depth of instruments is superb just a great song.
Keep up the good work, SalvoG. You'll hit 100K in no time. You have a unique RUclips channel format with you reacting to music that was popular before your time. It it is fun for me who remembers the songs and is now watching someone else hear it for the first time.
I love this song, heard it throughout my childhood. I haven't heard it in decades but just sang along to it. I also agree that 'Time of the Season' is a classic and worth a reaction.
Santana did a great cover of this song in 1977. It's longer with a lot more instrumentation but stays very true to this version. An excellent one to listen to and compare.
Love 60’s music and really enjoy your adventures my musical youth… I was 9 when this came out but I was lucky my best friend has older sibs, so we got exposed to a wide variety early on… so glad you like a variety of music!
I’m so glad you’re covering The Zombies. Yes, Colin’s voice is special, Rod’s keyboard skills, superb! I hope you check out the entire Odessey and Oracle album.
So cool, so smooth. Merged a pop sensibility with a distinct R&B edge - the start of a sound that would become "Northern soul" (the UK equivalent of the US's "Blue-eyed soul"), even though they weren't from the north of England where many of that movement's bands came from. "Time of the Season" is their other main masterpiece (and contains one of the best pick-up brags in history!) "A Rose for Emily" shows their softer side and is another great track, as is the role-reversing "Care of Cell 44", which was startling in it's time.
Colin Blunstone's solo albums "One Year" and "Ennismore" have some great sophisticated pop songs on them -- "Caroline Goodbye" and "I Don't Believe in Miracles" come to mind immediately.
One of my all time fave songs from that era. Superbly written. Beautifully sung. This and The Animals ‘House of the Rising Son’ are two of my all time fave songs
I didn't realize Rod Argent was a founding member of this band. I noticed you reacted last month to his later band, 'Argent', who had the hit, "Hold Your Head Up"
The Zombies were great, I saw them at a British Invasion concert and was blown away. I loved their jazzy vibe. Very interesting how Colin sounded like he was singing and whispering at the same time. Very cool. Thanks for this! BTW, Hullabaloo is pronounced hull-a-ba-LOO. We all watched this show and Shindig every week to see the new acts (and the Righteous Brothers on Shindig).
_The Zombies_ are so much more than the 3 hit singles they are known for --- they had a great, melodic and mysterious baroque sound that fused together with the more popular pop style of the early _Beatles_ to form something special and unique --- their later stuff, recorded in 1967 but released in 1968 on their _Odyssey and Oracle_ album is simply poetic and ethereal. Try any of the songs below, these are just a sampling, there are many others --- most are unknown, but all are great. The fist song on the list you just heard and #14 is an absolute must that you must react to next if you haven't already --- but as I said, even their secondary, unknown tracks are worthwhile. Truly special artists that unfortunately never received the recognition they deserved. (01) - She's Not There (02) - I Remember When I Loved Her (03) - Just Out Of Reach (04) - How We Were Before (05) - Remember You (06) - A Rose For Emily (07) - Beechwood Park (08) - Brief Candles (09) - This Will Be Our Year (10) - Hung Up On A Dream (11) - Changes (12) - Imagine The Swan (13) - Smokey Day (14) - Time Of The Season (15) - Conversation Off Floral Street (an instrumental)
I really appreciate your effort to look up some background and getting the basic context of the songs you react to. I'm was professional musician 40 years ago that ventured into Progressive Rock. One of the bands that inspired me was the post Zombies collaboration; Argent, with former Zombies Bass player Chris White as producer/songwriter and Rod Argent's Cousin Jim Rodford on Bass who wrote a song called; Music of the Spheres. As a young musician in the 1970's this particular song had a profound, positive affect on me. Jim Rodford would join The Zombies when they regrouped in the 2000's. About 10 years ago I rediscovered The Zombies and was blown away by their new recordings and they became my Favorite Band. The Zombies and Argent were two bands that became very popular with; and influenced many other musicians. Hence the reason why The Zombies are in the RRHF, with only 3 hit singles; They were that influential and inspiring. If you could react to: Music of the Spheres by Argent, or A Moment in Time by The Zombies, I think you'd enjoy either song and so would many of your Subscribers. ✌🤘 🎶 from 🇨🇦
I am so excited about some of the choices you make. They are so spot on. You get great recommendations and you follow through on them and it's so enjoyable. You got a great channel. You do a great job. Thanks for sharing
Great song. I was only a year old when this came out. Still love this one. "Time of the season" will captivate you more. Well, at least as much, lol. They had a great sound.
They had a very distinct sound. Similar to The Moody Blues. Maybe try their "Go Now" in honour of singer Denny Laine who passed today (also in Wings with McCartney)
Rod Argent was a great songwriter ... KISS made a cover of Argent's song "God Gave Rock'n'Roll To You" < you might have heard the classic and legendary KISS version!? o_O
Have you watched Fil of 'Wings of Pegasus' - he's a British guitarist, guitar tutor, who does analysis of songs & artists here on YT, and Fil has analysed The Zombies 'She's Not There' using vocal recognition / other devices to separate sounds, pitch, tone etc. He's worth your time if you're really interested in real music and genuine musicians. 🎵🤔😊 🏴🇬🇧❤️🎵🖖
Love this music -- I was a teenager when this was all the rage and the Zombies are burned into my musical soul. Time of the Season is next. Oh and swing by "Susie Q" by CCR sometime it hits the same spots.
There was a time after 1964 that whenever an ear-catching new song came on the radio, you would think it was a new Beatles song. They were The Mustangs before the name change to The Zombies, which some members didn't know what a zombie was. The NBC TV Show, Hullabaloo which aired in early primetime on Tuesday and then Monday, it had a different guest host every week and featured popular musical acts of the day, ABC had a similar show called Shindig! Time Of The Season was another big hit for The Zombies. Even now, their unique and iconic sound catches the listener's attention and doubtless will forevermore, based on your reaction. :)
Time of the Season is a great song
Absolutely!
Totally agree.
I agree too!!!!!
Agree!
Terrific song! "Time of the Season" is also a classic by The Zombies.

Thanks for saying what I was thinking!
Oh, Hell yeah! Studio versions were the way to go "back in the day".
"Hold your Head Up " is an excellent song. I've always been Partial to "Liar" off the same album. Has a sweet keyboard bridge and guitar outro.
@@stratocruising "Thunder and Lightning" and "Man For All Reasons" are also great, radio friendly songs, but "Circus" "Trapeze" and "Clown" from the Circus album are Prog foundations for future bands, sounding more like Prog from the late '90s or '00s than the mid '70s.

🏴❤️ I love Argent's 'Hold Your Head Up'
& this, by The Zombies, 'She's Not There'
The British Invasion was the best invasion ever!
45 RPMs by the millions..
"Time of the season" is their best! It's timeless.
"Canned audience" is the sound of laughter or applause in live shows, where the sound is taped and played, so a laugh track or applause track, rather then the actual audience.

Zombies are amazing! They are still touring and making great new music. Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent amazing singers and musicians!
Wish we could have seen them in Arlington, VA last month. Canceled due to illness.😢
@@carolegrafton5748 I heard that they had to cancel. Was sad. They didn’t have dates set near me so I haven’t gotten to see them except for an online concert they put on earlier this year that was great.
Isn't that amazing and wonderful?
Makes me emotional , don't know why. Why are my eyes leaking? More from the sixties please.❤
LOVE this song! Thank you to whoever suggested it, nice pick. Next Zombies song - "Time of the Season" please.
I was 12 when this song came out and it is still a great song and a great memory. Hullabaloo (Hull-a-ba-loo) was one of several weekly music variety shows of the time. This one ran two seasons and was shown in Prime Time.
I was 13. Great time to be a kid.
and Shindig..
Before music videos lol..the 60s started everything. British bands were prominent. I was 12 when this came out and I was hooked.
Yep. Old school groovy jazzy rock-'n'-roll right there.
Gotta do the Zombies' "Time of The Season"!
Colin Blunstone had a solo hit in the UK with Danny Laine's Say You Don't Mind. At the end of the song he hots a really high note. The Zombies are still performing live and Colin can still hit that high note.Not bad for a man approaching his 80s

To take you in the sun to promised lands" hits me deeply every.single.time. I think that you would like it.
Great band when they broke up in 1972 Rod Argent formed a new band called Argent and they had a bunch of hits too.
Hold Your Head Up!
The Zombies and The Animals are my favorite bands from the '60s. "Time of the Season" is just an incredibly sultry sound from The Zombies, and I highly recommend checking it out.
Effortlessly cool, and with no such thing as auto tune.
Wow, I haven't heard this song in years! I really enjoy sharing the music of my life with young people. You teach me trivia and sometimes, a new way of looking at old favorites. Thanks!
Rod Argent of the Zombies also went on to form a group with the hit "Hold Your Head Up."

Great song from my adolescence. Santana later did a fantastic cover version as well.
I heard this song so many times, and loved it, when I was a kid (yes I'm really old) that to this day when I hear it I can't help but sing along out loud.
Carlos Santana round 1974 did a cover of She’s Not There on his album moonflower it’s a must listen.
Love The Zombies
Check out their song “Tell Her No” sometime. It’s next-level genius.
I am only 58 and this is way before my time but it is one of my favorite songs ever. A Pink Floyd fan. This song is fire !
Ron Argent continues to perform under his own name and had several hits like hold your head up in the early 70s
Thanks, Salvo! They were so "groovy".... another favorite of mine is "Time of the Season"... glad you got around to them... lol
Great band, had an awesome groove.
I watched there 2019 hall of fame show in 2019 they still had it !!!
I was 12 and in love with this song, in a hurry to grow up.
Loved since I was little
Time of the Season is one of the greatest songs of the 60's. Their abilities to use the vocals as part of the percussion in the song was innovative.
Canned Audience is a prerecored audience of people recored clapping, laughing, cheering, etc. ~ In early TV sitcoms they often added "laugh tracks" of prerecored audiences. as the show was filmed without a live audience. In this song on teen TV show "Hulaballo" the performance was lip synced by the Zombies from the studio recording.
Time of the Season is my favorite song by them.
Cool, this was a monster hit when I was a kid, it was on the radio and the 45 records (single) sold out in one day.
I never knew Rob Zombie could sound this good.
Zombies are awesome. And if you like that one, you’ll love Time of the Season. ❤
I love seeing reactions to the music that was popular during my teen years. We took it all so for granted and the appreciation you have reminds me that we were exposed to such great music. Thank you for your analysis.
Watching people discover new/old music is great! It’s like hearing it again for the first time through your experience. Love that and great choice!
Love this song. It creates such an atmosphere Haven’t heard it in so many years. Thank you.
This is one of the most memorable and unique tunes of the 1060’s!
The British Invasion (about mid-60's) - Beatles, Zombies, Dave Clack 5 Herman's Hermits etc. - if you are OLD ENOUGH ( I AM) you lived though this and enjoyed it ALL !! :-)
Yes. If you liked this one then you must check out Time of the Season!

Ahead of their time. Their songs still sound great.
Santana did a great cover of this song in 1977. It's longer with a lot more instrumentation but stays very true to this version. An excellent one to listen to and compare.
That quality of music is why some of these bands have been active, off and on, for nearly 60 years.
Time of the Season was their next biggest hit....and you will like it as much as this one!
Love this song!!
Love your facial expressions when you react. These songs defined an age where it was great to be a teenager.
Love 60’s music and really enjoy your adventures my musical youth… I was 9 when this came out but I was lucky my best friend has older sibs, so we got exposed to a wide variety early on… so glad you like a variety of music!
I was lucky to have 6 older siblings so I heard more music than I would have otherwise.
I’m so glad you’re covering The Zombies. Yes, Colin’s voice is special, Rod’s keyboard skills, superb! I hope you check out the entire Odessey and Oracle album.
You should listen to all of their songs. Wonderful group. More of my youth.
So cool, so smooth.

FIRE🔥🔥🔥!! Underated great songs, great singers. Tell her No & Time of the Season are very very good also!!
Colin Blunstone's solo albums "One Year" and "Ennismore" have some great sophisticated pop songs on them -- "Caroline Goodbye" and "I Don't Believe in Miracles" come to mind immediately.
I was a teen in the 1960’s! One of my favorite groups!!
I've always loved this song. Next check out Time of the Season which is my favorite from them.
Colin Blunstone would later be among the regular vocalists with the Alan Parsons Project, notably doing the lead on "Old & Wise".
Love the 1960's Zombies. TIME OF THE SEASON is my fave. Was a hit in the tumultuous 1968.
One of my all time fave songs from that era. Superbly written. Beautifully sung.
This and The Animals ‘House of the Rising Son’ are two of my all time fave songs
Next check out The Time of the Season, their last hit from 1969. It is phenomenal.
Love the way the Zombies fused elements of jazz into rock. Great sound.
Loved this band for decades!!
One of my favorites!!! the sound of this song is so British and funky and just cool...
Alan Parson was involved with recording the Zombies, and Colin sang on some of Alan Parson’s albums.
"Time Of The Season" is so cool.
- Zombies: great 60s band; great 60s sound! :)
- One of my favorites (since childhood)
I didn't realize Rod Argent was a founding member of this band. I noticed you reacted last month to his later band, 'Argent', who had the hit, "Hold Your Head Up"
OMG, you gotta listen to "Time of the Season."
The Zombies were great, I saw them at a British Invasion concert and was blown away. I loved their jazzy vibe. Very interesting how Colin sounded like he was singing and whispering at the same time. Very cool. Thanks for this! BTW, Hullabaloo is pronounced hull-a-ba-LOO. We all watched this show and Shindig every week to see the new acts (and the Righteous Brothers on Shindig).
hullabaloo is also a word that means either party or ruckus.
Shindig also means party or more generally an event or gathering.
Time of the Season… one of the best
Rod Argent is an amazing and maybe the firmest to use synthesizers. He later in the early 1970’s started his own band under his name Argent.
The Zombies have a ton of great records. Worthy of a deep dive.
They were and still are GREAT !
I'm 70 been listening to these guys for years
Always loved this tune. This and "Time of the Season".
Time Of The Season by the Zombies & Hold Your Head Up by Argent should be your next choices. Time Of The Season is one of a kind!

The fist song on the list you just heard and #14 is an absolute must that you must react to next if you haven't already --- but as I said, even their secondary, unknown tracks are worthwhile. Truly special artists that unfortunately never received the recognition they deserved.

Hall of Fame Band 2019, but they are mid-to-late ‘60’s. Saw them live in Vegas.
Thank you for reminding me how great the zombies and this song are.

60's vibes at their finest!☮🎙🎶
Never underestimate 60's music.
Thank You!! I would concur with some of the others here, "Time of the Season" is a must! You may have heard this at some point in your life.
Rod Argent was a great songwriter ... KISS made a cover of Argent's song "God Gave Rock'n'Roll To You" < you might have heard the classic and legendary KISS version!? o_O
