- From the fourth and final appearance by Peter & Gordon at Casino Rama in Ontario. Gordon Waller dedicated it to Mike Smith, who sang this classic with the Dave Clark Five.
They made this song more melodious.
Great version of a great song! Mike Smith was great too!
Geweldig
Beautiful voices, still! Wonderful!
This is my most favorite song. I sang this song on stages several times when I was young playing bass guitar long time ago (1968, I guess) in South Korea when I was a sophomore in college. Mike Smith was the man of DC5.
Of all the hit rock&roll songs the DC5 had, I still think this was their best. Thanks.
What a lovely song and cover.Thanks.
I was there that night. It was wonderful.
gordon waller, you were a great musician. i miss you .... tears in my eyes

Mike Smith was really the force behind DC5 he had incredible pipes, talented musician and wrote amazing songs. It’s very sad that Dave Clark was really a fake & horrible person. He put his name on every song which he didn’t write and he couldn’t play the drums to save his life. In the studio Dave never played drums, they had a studio drummer on all the recordings. Mike Smith got ripped off by Dave Clark who got royalties from the music Mike Smith wrote. When Mike Smith had his accident and need a special wheelchair he couldn’t afford a bunch of celebrities like Peter and Gordon and Peter Noone from Herman Hermits helped raise the money. Needless to say Dave Clark never gave a cent. There’s a special place in hell for Dave Clark! RIP sweet Mike Smith 🙏🏻
I never knew that, I always heard through the years that Dave Clark was a very strange person. I saw some photos of him in later life he looked so grotesque, not sure what happened there.
Im a big Peter and Gordon fan since age 8 in 1964 and Dave Clark Five too and they both sang this song !
I was there when they sang at Casino Rama. Love all their songs.
I was too Suzanne. Great show.
Gordon is such a nut in a good way. God Bless Gord. Miss you.
Give me one kiss and l will happy just just to be with you great lyrics and written by the late Mike Smith also his version classic but so glad Peter and Gordon so glad they got back together before sadly Gordon died RIP you left us your music from a time unsurpassed
@@robmorton8188 Mike wrote alot if songs but didn't get the credit he deserved. Loved his voice.
I bet Gordon and Mike are up there causing havoc lol. They were great friends.
God Bless both of them.
I was there too.
Gordon, we were close buddies back in Fowey Cornwall, enjoyed some great times & drunken nights in the King Of Prussia Pub..RIP Gordon...
Memories to hang on to.
@@ukgirlinlv Do I know you?
@@ukgirlinlv Did you know him in UK? When I met him first in a pub in Fowey a group of us would enjoy a few too many beers. It was not until I was invited back, met Gay, Philippa & Natalie & saw these gold discs on the wall, it was then I discovered who he was. Little Philippa used to cling to me like I was another Dad..happy days, I have one only picture of him on his boat taken from my boat, if you would like me to send a copy I would be happy to do so. David
@@EUROWEFILMS I was Gordon's PA up until he died. Was heartbreaking. Miss him.
I still speak regularly to Philly, she's family to us. Gay is lovely.
Shame he's not here,I could have put you back in touch with him
Take care David.
Wow! They still sound like them.
Must be wonderful to share with their grandchildren...
Gordon was so beautiful. I am so sorry he did not take better car of himself. RIP Gordon.
Great Song Great Performance. R.I.P. Mike you were one of the best by far. 🎵
I also was crazy about this song. Always brought tears to me. How touching it is. I just learned that Mike Smith wrote it.
They still have that sound when they were young Peter & Gordon. I love them❤
Si señor son canciones para este tiempo y que son la razon de estar aún vivos
GOT TO SAY A REALLY GOOD COVER WITH OUTSTANDING BACKING..
Well done... Sounds great, sad Gordon and Mike passed away.
O. Tempo. Passa. Privilégio. Para. Poucos
Love you Gordon R iP xx Trish ❤
Nice one.
I often wonder where all those 45 s went.i see albums in resale stores and flea markets.but no or just a few 45s.i have a collection o dave clark five 45s in thier picture sleeves.i saw gordon at beatlefest before he passed on.
In 1969 I went for a holiday to England; swinging London. I came back with a suitcase full of second hand 45s. I knew them from the radio stations but the records were never released in my country. I was in heaven.
I don't have them anymore, they eventually were all released on CD compilations, and what still went missing, I found on YT - the very first Soft Machine single!, the first one where Mark Bolan had a lead (Desdemona), Long John Baldry's very beautiful When The Sun Comes Shining Through (1968) and many more. Thank you RUclips.
Peter has the killer Beatle boots on
True, but wearing them with the wrong trouser cut and length. Not a criticism at all, just an observation.
Great version, although my favourite version of my song (I was the Ghost writer for the DC5 and wrote this song along with some that the DC5 had hits with), is by Julian Lennon. But as I said this is a great version and very well performed.
Interesting. Thanks for writing the song. WHich othes did you write? I agree wth you that Julan's is the best I have heard .Grreat bass player and chords:

@@glennpowell1838 I wrote (on my own, I never write with others) some of the early DC5 songs such as Mulberry Bush, Doo Dah, That's what I said, Can I trust you, No time to lose, Sometimes (also recorded by Oliver Reed), All of the time, Thinking of you baby, Because, Bits and pieces, Anyway you want it (which was the last song I wrote for the Band), they are all on youtube.
The part about ' once kiss ' have me thinking about a girl I had a crush on back in 1977, we were teens...She knew I had a mad crush on her but I was too shy to ask her out or to be ' my girl '..I think she felt the same.. Sadly we never became boyfriend and girlfriend..But I often wonder what a 'one kiss ' would be like with her?..To this day I still see her as the most beautiful girl I have ever known...Wherever you are Karon Howard, I hope life have been good to you..
すごく‼️懐かしい‼️
There is one short early falter: but after that... Brilliant
Classic!
Lovely song....but as much as I adore Mike Smith to the bottoms of my toes he did not write this song RON RYAN did. Thanks Ron for this beautiful piece of music. The truth must out.
Rip gordon
Poor Mike Smith all that money on security and for it turned into his own worst nightmare, What a horrible tragedy.We are our own worst enemy.
Hirrk
He fell off a ladder at his house.
People think that these artists earn alot of money but they didn't.
I'm a Chad and Jeremy man myself, but p and g are cool
🌹
Ron Ryan wrote this song...............
Yes I did.
@@ronvonryan I know you did Ron, and it's the most beautiful love song ever written. I've followed your interviews and one day I believe the truth will come out. God bless you Ron.
@@patriciatriggs7770 Thank you Patricia for your kind words, and yes I find in the end the truth rise to the surfice.
Is this really Gordon Waller?
Sorry Mike Smith did not write this song neither did Dave Clark write it, the man who really wrote this beautiful song was Ron Ryan, but sadly he never got the credit he deserved for it.
Ron Ryan wrote quite a number of the DC5,s songs but was never given the credit for them Clarke took most of it
あなた達が歌った
『愛なき世界』に
私達は生きています。(;´∀｀)
It was also a classic of the Apson group from Mexico.
Gordon - Did Mike really write this?
No Mike didn't write this song, the man who really wrote this song was Ron Ryan, but sadly he never got the credit he deserved for it. It was stolen from him by Dave Clark.
@@patriciatriggs7770
I knew that. Just teasing the late Gordon Waller.
My
I always thought this tune was the Beatles.
Gordon looks 80 years old here.
Beautiful Tribute to Mike Smith by a Class act Peter and Gordon
I loved Peter and Gordon's music. It just made you feel good. Miss them.
Dam I wish I could go back to the sixties and live it all over again what a great time we had and thinking back I knew it was something special while it was happening I'm almost 70 now but I really had a great life
Yeah me too my fellow Boomer. 👍
One of my favorite all-time songs by the DC5... and sung by the great Peter and Gordon... we 60's kids had it all ... RIP Gordon and Mike Smith
Dave Clark was a fraud! Read my comment, Mike Smith was real talent in that group!
Mike sir was. Gordon and Mike were great friends.
great song...beatles also wrote a song called Because on Abbey Road...
Mike must have been proud of Gordon singing his piece. Beautiful.!
Both Columbia in the UK and Epic in the US both refused to put "Because" out as a single as per Dave Clark's wish. Dave told them wouldn't be getting any new DC5 material until they did. Suddenly they were very cooperative and "Because" became another DC5 smash. It's like their "Yesterday".
Nice use of the B-3 to take the place of Smith's old Vox organ. Great song. Nice arrangement.
That "Blue" phrasing at 2:04 is classic P and G.
how amazing but this still sound so good age has given them more confidence the vocal cords more substance it's so wonderful still singing together (the wife)
Loved Peter and Gordon since I was 7 yrs old and I am almost 64 yrs old ! They were from my sisters era as she was almost 14 or about 14 when she had Peter and Gordon s 45 Rpm records in 1963!
So sweet to read stories like yours because like you I was also influenced by my older sis.
GOT TO SAY A REALLY GOOD COVER WITH OUTSTANDING BACKING.
GREAT VOICES
Fantastic arrangement....classic
What a wonderful version of one of the most wonderful love songs ever written. As good as it is by Peter and Gordon (especially Gordon Waller), no one could sing it like the late, great Mike Smith. Mike WAS the Dave Clark Five. Without Mike's voice and musicality, there never would have been a DC5. Sure do miss him; miss Gordon Waller, too. Great music from a great time--the mid-60s!
Thank you Keith Putney Productions for this video Because is the first tme I see it time went so fast I'm 71 to me the best Duet Peter & Gordon on the 60 golden years it makes me so sad to know about Mike Smith from the greaters band Dave Clark Five one the best band of the 60 s still like it so much Because great music and also Gordon Waller passed a way it makes me so down Mr. Gordon Waller R.I.P.
I'm only 60 but loved Peter and Gordon
This was a great night. The audience went mad. Was like old times. I still have that poppy lol.
Oh my God! Thank you. You brought my wife and I together but, the mother-in-law, No!

Nice version by this great harmony group.
see what we missed tube[sex pistols] here in todays land of confusion.
"Because" was written by Ron Ryan, not Mike Smith. Ron Ryan is a very good friend of mine and did not get the credit he deserved for the song.
Can you please explain this further. Thank you
@@artvideoman Hello my friend. If you go to my channel and watch my cover of "Because", you will see a comment from Ron Ryan, who wrote it. You then can respond to his comment and he will answer you. Ron is a great guy and was screwed by Dave Clark and did not get the credit he deserved for writing some of their biggest hits. Another one Ron wrote was "Bits and Pieces". Here is a link to my cover of "Because". I apologize for the poor video quality, as it was recorded with an old camcorder at the time. Hope you'll like it.

Have a great day ! All the best.... John
Thanks for these great videos. A great version . Well Done !!
If you liked this version...check out Julian Lennon's version. Also tops!
JUST tears in my eyes.
"Because" was Dave Clark Five's monster hit!!! ✨
That beautiful song gained so much airplay, that for one moment in time many perceived the Dave Clark Five on equal par with the Beatles
Sure sounds like a Beattles song !
It is a Beatles song
@@saphia7 It's not Pamela. Mike Smith wrote this song.
Well done
They came down to my beach in Willoughby Ohio once when I was 9,
"Give me one kiss..."
wonderful music kept us down on the farm in style.
Great harmonies by Messrs. Asher and Waller!
