How To Play 96 Tears / Ninety Six Tears on the electronic keyboard

This song from 1966 .. had a classic organ part. Question Mark and the Mysterians are from Bay City Mich. area. This song in the key of G and uses just G and C chords except the chorus does switch to Em for a bit. This not one I can play and sing very well. I'm still working at it.

The keyboard player of the "Mysterians", Frankie Rodriguez, came up with this iconic riff on a Thomas A-100 electric organ. Frankie was all of 14 years old and yes boogiebeau, you haven't quite sussed it out yet.

He was 14?

Hats off to you !!!
I've loved this song forever.
Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs, the Monkees, the Doors, the Cars, Neil Diamond's "I'm a Believer" and even Smashmouth, owe much to this legendary band from Saginaw. Excellent work !!!!
Just discovered your channel.
Hoping you do more videos.

I thought it was a lot more complicated than that because it sounded like a bunch of keys were all pressed together but it’s just three keys That makes the off key sound. I’ve had to 45 RPM since 1966.

[@paulkervin330]

I like your singing voice. I will try on my new and first electronic keyboard!
