The Wrecking Crew was a collective of American session musicians based in Los Angeles whose services were employed for a great number of studio recordings in the 1960s and 1970s, including hundreds of top 40 hits. The musicians were not publicly recognized at the time, but were viewed with reverence by industry insiders.
Most bands DID perform live, unless there was some special reason why they couldn’t. Need proof? Jim Morrison would never have been able to “accidentally” sing “girl, we couldn’t get much higher” LIVE otherwise, and not be asked back on the show as a result. Consider THAT! Having said all this, I do think this band was probably lip-syncing, given the obviously double-tracked vocals.
@@davidreichert9392 You are right about the Wrecking Crew playing in the studio but the real bands still had to play live when they played concerts. The Wrecking Crew would play on the recordings because they were seasoned veterans in the studio where time is money so it can't be wasted but that didn't necessarily mean the real bands wouldn't have eventually come up with something as good, but it would have taken longer and cost more. I clicked on this clip because usually the Ed Sullivan show would be live and I wanted to hear how they sounded live but in this case they used the studio version (you can tell because there's no keyboard on stage but you can hear keyboard from the original recording) and had them play along with everything turned down until the end where the fade out started, then the real band takes over for the ending. That seems like that would have been hard.

@@realitychick8903 How right you are & I couldn’t agree with you more! If you can get some help ...”why not!” If they had no talent & songs they recorded weren’t very good, no one would have bought their record(s), nor would they have invited to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show, no matter “WHO” their parents were! They were young talented kids & good for them! I so agree with you “reality chick!”🌺
@@lornedey4040 It's absolutely the Wrecking Crew and their voices are completely amplified with Professional singers augmenting most of their vocals - and of course top Studio musicians playing on their records. I'm not knocking them, they were young and around and sure they had famous parents which opened many doors - but, they never really produced a Hit single that I can recall - Desi Jr. of course was known for being a good drummer, but I can't tell you how many good drummers I've worked with through the year who never appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show - trust me, in Show Business, it's who you know ~
@@JohnnyGNV All of which explains why the boys are lip-synching and miming their playing! Who ya know is right! They actually auditioned for Frank Sinatra, who founded the Reprise label on which he and Dean Martin recorded. I'm guessing papa Dino arranged the audition! The trio released 4 albums and over a dozen singles on Reprise (distributed by Warner Bros. Records), until they signed with Columbia in 1969. For Reprise, DD&B hit #17 in '65 with "I'm a Fool" on the Billboard Top 100 chart, and #25 with "I'm Not the Lovin' Kind" later that year.
@@billmiller6274 Not much.....they actually probably sang this tune on the recording (Milli Vanilli didn't even do THAT) and that's about it.....by the way, a LOT of bands actually performed live on Ed Sullivan, but not these guys....
Hal Blaine and I lived in Marina del Rey in the 80's, and we became lasting friends. Incidentally, we were both there when Dennis Wilson died. Dennis and I talked about our women troubles while shaving and showering in "The Head"....The crazy thing is, Dennis had wolfman like hair and though we were "Dock/Boat Neighbors", I never knew who he was until the day he died. I held the the dock-gate open for the gurney that evening after divers found the body. That day burned into my memory. BTW...Hal was a great guy and we stayed in touch and remained friends until he passed. I lived in the best of times. Nothing like today.
You’re a lucky guy to have known Hal. He always was my idol…after I discovered that HE was the session drummer on all of those records I loved! I was a young drummer back then. I used to get pissed off when some group had a hit with a fabulous drum part. I used to say to myself “where the hell are all these groups finding all of these incredible drummers?” Then I found out it was all one guy: Hal Blaine!
@@bradentonguy50 I regret having drifted away from Hal after he moved to the desert...though we did talk on the phone and e-mail. Shortly before he died we spoke and we made a promise that we would "Have to get together soon." Ya gotta remember that yesterday is gone; and one day, tomorrow never comes.
@@richardschaefer4807 I seem to recall that his ex-wives wiped him out clean in his divorces. I think one of his exs even sold the gold records off of his walls. I also read that, at some point, he was so financially strapped that he worked as a security guard some place. I have this image of him sitting at a desk somewhere and hearing his records being played over the building’s PA. If he had tried to tell people that he played drums on all of those records they would call him crazy. Did he ever tell you about these things?
@@bradentonguy50I just read up on Hal Blaine. Amazing! He was on SO MANY hit records. The Wrecking Crew, the Wall of Sound. I had no idea. So many studio musicians were behind the hit records and albums. 😮
If I remember correctly, in 1987 Dean was finally on board, for the first time in years, to hit the road with Frank Sinatra & Sammy Davis, Jr. for a reunion tour. Shortly before that was to happen, Dino was killed when his F-4 crashed. Dean was devastated and the tour was cancelled. Dean never got over the loss and died eight years later on Chistmas Day, 1995.
Such a tragic end for Dean Martin, Jr. I remember watching a bio on senior that reported that he never could quite overcome the depression of losing his son... so tragic.
I can't beleive they were so young. I remember this song since 1965, even I forgot who played it, for some time I thought It was a song by the British group Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.
It's such a shame that none of the Beatles' performances on "The Ed Sullivan Show" made it to color. I believe the band's final appearance on the show in 1965 came one week before color.
@@alanarakelian5021 You are exactly right; they appeared on the last black and white episode (one week before this one), which I think was the first episode of the season. It was supposed to be shot in color, but I can't remember why it wasn't. Maybe they didn't have the color equipment quite ready yet.
@@TomElvisSmith The color shows were so much better in appearance than the black and white. Also, don't know if you can verify this or not, but the audio quality in the color episodes seemed to be way better than in the black and white. To me, it's a stark difference. When Ed Sullivan went to color, maybe he upgraded all of the audio equipment at the same time. Any thoughts?
@@alanarakelian5021 As time went on, the technology improved, both sound and picture quality. I do generally prefer the guests in the black and white episodes though, as I'm a bigger fan of the pre-British invasion music scene. Still, some of my favorites were on color shows too.
Dino Martin went to the LA Rams training camp and tried out as a receiver in the 1970's. Needless to say he got cut. Lance Rentzel wrote about that in either Sport Magazine or Sports Illustrated.
I so loved them & this song! I can remember playing this particular song countless times too. Each one of these really young boys were so talented at such a young age! I was shocked to hear how young they were when they performed here on the Ed Sullivan Show, too. I know I realized back then that they were young but just listening to Ed Sullivan just now it hit me how talented the three of them were & poised at such a young age. I was really young myself back then & so loved them! I still love this song, 🤣might I add. I want to add too that Ed Sullivan was such an extraordinary man, bringing these groups, vocalists & acts to a national audience, where some may have remained unknown, if he didn’t give many( all kinds of “acts”, too!!!) their big break on his tv show. He really was an amazing man! I so loved this post/video/ blog & I sooooo love UTUBE, who brings videos( moments in time) back to us, that if not for UTube, would be lost forever! “A Sincere Thank-you To Extraordinary UTUBE!” ♥️💗♥️💗♥️💗♥️💗♥️💗♥️💗♥️💗♥️
@@deborahbishop10 HOW LUCKY YOUR WERE Deborah to meet Billy! How exciting that must have been! I never realized how young they were until I just heard Ed Sullivan’s introduction, just now. I knew they were young but as a preteen myself it probably just didn’t register how young they were, being a kid myself.The three of them were so talented though & I read Billy went on to have further success in the music field. I too loved the Beach Boys & saw them multiple times through the yrs( first time was when I was 12 or 13 & all the original members were in this band & Glen Campbell was also playing in the band( backup), as well! I last saw them 3 or 4 yrs ago at the Big E( big New England state fair) here in West Spfld.., Ma. Only two of the original members played that night but I will always love The Beach Boys! Loved seeing them many times through the yrs but never got to see Dino, Desi & Billy! How lucky you were & then you got to meet Billy too! How great is that & thanks fir sharing your experience too! Take Care!🌺
@@karenstrycharz1499 I still have the record album of Dino, Desi and Billy, the name of the album is Memories Are Made of This. I'm A Fool, Not the Loving Kind and Memories Are Made of This are on the Album. There is also a book by Dorothy Hamill A Skating Life, it is about her skating career but also a great deal about her marriage to Dino. Desi and his wife were really into Ballet and had a school in Boulder. His wife taught a class with Harvey Hysell in New Orleans. My daughter and several of her friends took the class!! They loved it!! Whenever those little girls took the class, I did not know the teacher was Desi's wife! From what I understand Desi is not married so he is available!! This is also interesting, I am from Mississippi. Dino took his flying classes at the Columbus, Mississippi Air Base!! all of the pilots get certification in Columbus, Mississippi.
At 2:15, you can hear the backing track end, and the band plays a 'tacked on' ending... although most people didn't notice- there's a dramatic difference in the tone of Dino's Hofner bass, vs. the Wrecking Crew's recorded backing track, with the heavily reverbed Joe Osborn's Fender Jazz Bass.
@Thomasfan244 Studio musicians in Los Angeles. There's a damn good movie on them, called- what else? "The Wrecking Crew" It's here on You Tube. There's literally hundreds of hit recordings they're on.
@@ThatGingerNate I've been building and repairing basses for going on 50 years. I've never heard a Hofner Beatle Bass sound like the bass on the recording of "I'm a Fool"
I was thinking the same thing after watching this video! Dean Martin loved his children but so loved his son Dino( so proud of his flying ability!)! You are right though... after losing his beloved son, he was never the same. May they both Rest In Peace!♥️
Obviously lip-synced (not done very well, but - they're kids) but you can tell by watching them that they know how to play (especially Bill y and Desi). The very end the tape fade out and you can briefly hear them actually playing.
Crazy , this is the first time that I ever heard these 3 youngsters play and 2 of them I am well aware of who their fathers are and did you notice The Beatles type guitars. It's the 1960's
When 39 was old... This was actually right when mainstream physical fitness began. 10 years later would be the peak of American History. If you didn't get to experience the 70s, lemme tell ya, it was worth being old NOW!
And, for those of you who don't have famous dads......your garage band might get to play at the school talent show, rather than on national television.
I had no idea they were so young when this was recorded! Just searched this out, due to reading Olivia Hussey's story, i which she had much praise and love for Dean Paul Martin, her spouse. His tragic death, at only 35...
Desi, Jr., was actually 12. He was born on January 19, 1953, famously on the same day that his mother's character gave birth to Little Ricky on "I Love Lucy". Contrary to something else posted here, Desi, Jr., did not play the role of Little Ricky but did appear in one of Lucille Ball's later sitcoms as her son.
Yes. Desi Jr. and his older sister Lucie Arnaz appeared on "Here's Lucy" (1968-74) as Lucy's children on the show. I believe the actor who played Little Ricky on "I Love Lucy" and "The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour" was named Keith Thibodeaux.
You are absolutely right! Desi Jr was born on January 19th, 1953 & did not play her son on “I Love Lucy”( original series)! I ironically enough just watched the most interesting biography on Lucille Ball on the “Reelz station/network” on Cable ,two nights ago. There was a man in the show that spoke throughout the special( explaining various episodes from “I Love Lucy”. He stated how he played little Ricky & showed up with so many others for the interview. He told in great detail how the interview went & so much fun 👂 no the whole story on how he was hired. His name is “Keith Thibodeaux & he went on to say that when he showed up for the interview, he walked onto the set of the show to meet Lucy. Desi Sr wasn’t there at the moment. He said Lucy looked at him, turned to who brought him for interview & Lucy said “Well..... he is cute but what does he do?” Keith said that he turned to Lucy ( think he said he was six yrs old at the time but not positive.) & said “I play the drums!” Lucy said “Ok Keith”...” Play the drums for me!” Keith said that at that point they had interviewed so many child actors fur the pivotal part! Keith said he started playing the drums & in walked Desi Sr & he stopped him after a couple minutes, turned to Lucy & said “Well, I THINK WE HAVE FOUND OUR LITTLE RICKY!!!”♥️
After dino was killed in that plane crash that was it for his father. He never got over it. Also I remember my sister sent then a fan letter and got a postcard from all 3 of them.
Forget the song(I was 15 when I saw this live on Ed and me and my buddies hated it because we were playing The Animals, Yardbirds and Stones and it was bubblegum before bubblegum)...How about that 1965 Fire-Glo Burst Rickenbacker 360/12?...
i was 15 too, playing the Stones, Them, Byrds etc., but i was'nt so cool like you that i didn't LOVE this song.Earl Palmer played the drums on the record, james Burton was on guitar, and Larry Knechtel played bass. killer song!!
@@recordguy4321 This record came in 97 out of 100 in 1965 according to Billboard. #1 was Wooly Bully and #3 was Satisfaction, Hang on Sloopy, All Day and All of The Night, My Girl..we played those at the pool parties instead of this one due to popular requests...Never had a request for 'I'm A Fool'...
@@spyderlogan4992 It was top 20 in Cleveland we would play Mystic eyes, Mona, and get requests for I'm a Fool. So we did it for the screaming little 13 year olds. And then go into some Paul revere and the raiders Steppin Out
@@recordguy4321 Mystic Eyes~! Now we're on the same page. Jimmy Page on lead guitar. Our lead singer learned to play harmonica because of that song. The only slow songs we knew were House of The Rising Sun and Ferry Cross the Mersey, that we played both twice a night. 3, 40/20 sets=$100. Big Time for 4 guys. Since we were in Northern Virginia our set lists were different because of regional AM radio.
I don't get exited about Beatles style music but it easily beats all of todays' music which should be used as torture technique and not entertainment..

What a gem! Never saw this before.
Hi beautiful
Finally the complete version, the old Rock And Roll Classics DVD cut it in half.
I never understood why they did that. It's like they didn't want to show the segment where the names of the kids were displayed.
Aww they are all so young and sweet and cute little boys
With the right connections, son, you can live out your Beatles Rock 'n Roll fantasy!
AND WHY NOT>>> everyone has a turn((remember that)) so be happy for these boys.. they sang well and it was a great tune and song... and SO WHAT if they have famous dads... stop being jealous and be happy --YOUR TURN WILL COME--- and that is GOD s Promise...
@@realitychick8903 How right you are & I couldn’t agree with you more! If you can get some help ...”why not!” If they had no talent & songs they recorded weren’t very good, no one would have bought their record(s), nor would they have invited to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show, no matter “WHO” their parents were! They were young talented kids & good for them! I so agree with you “reality chick!”🌺
They still had to put in the work.
@@Shahmar Indeed.
Beatle mania Afterbirth
I watched a clip of the “Association” on Ed Sullivan….they were definitely live a couple times.
Carol Kaye and Hal Blaine sound great on this.....it sounds like every song from the 60's NOT by the Beatles......
Where would we be without the Wreaking Crew?
Nowadays bands with young kids sound pretty good, not so much back then; I figured this had to be members of the Wrecking Crew.
@@lornedey4040 It's absolutely the Wrecking Crew and their voices are completely amplified with Professional singers augmenting most of their vocals - and of course top Studio musicians playing on their records. I'm not knocking them, they were young and around and sure they had famous parents which opened many doors - but, they never really produced a Hit single that I can recall - Desi Jr. of course was known for being a good drummer, but I can't tell you how many good drummers I've worked with through the year who never appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show - trust me, in Show Business, it's who you know ~
@@JohnnyGNV All of which explains why the boys are lip-synching and miming their playing!
Who ya know is right! They actually auditioned for Frank Sinatra, who founded the Reprise label on which he and Dean Martin recorded. I'm guessing papa Dino arranged the audition!
The trio released 4 albums and over a dozen singles on Reprise (distributed by Warner Bros. Records), until they signed with Columbia in 1969.
For Reprise, DD&B hit #17 in '65 with "I'm a Fool" on the Billboard Top 100 chart, and #25 with "I'm Not the Lovin' Kind" later that year.
@@billmiller6274 Not much.....they actually probably sang this tune on the recording (Milli Vanilli didn't even do THAT) and that's about it.....by the way, a LOT of bands actually performed live on Ed Sullivan, but not these guys....
Hal Blaine and I lived in Marina del Rey in the 80's, and we became lasting friends. Incidentally, we were both there when Dennis Wilson died. Dennis and I talked about our women troubles while shaving and showering in "The Head"....The crazy thing is, Dennis had wolfman like hair and though we were "Dock/Boat Neighbors", I never knew who he was until the day he died. I held the the dock-gate open for the gurney that evening after divers found the body. That day burned into my memory.
BTW...Hal was a great guy and we stayed in touch and remained friends until he passed. I lived in the best of times. Nothing like today.
You’re a lucky guy to have known Hal. He always was my idol…after I discovered that HE was the session drummer on all of those records I loved! I was a young drummer back then. I used to get pissed off when some group had a hit with a fabulous drum part. I used to say to myself “where the hell are all these groups finding all of these incredible drummers?” Then I found out it was all one guy: Hal Blaine!
@@bradentonguy50 I regret having drifted away from Hal after he moved to the desert...though we did talk on the phone and e-mail. Shortly before he died we spoke and we made a promise that we would "Have to get together soon." Ya gotta remember that yesterday is gone; and one day, tomorrow never comes.
@@richardschaefer4807 I seem to recall that his ex-wives wiped him out clean in his divorces. I think one of his exs even sold the gold records off of his walls. I also read that, at some point, he was so financially strapped that he worked as a security guard some place. I have this image of him sitting at a desk somewhere and hearing his records being played over the building’s PA. If he had tried to tell people that he played drums on all of those records they would call him crazy. Did he ever tell you about these things?
@@bradentonguy50 Yes; I was aware of these issues.
@@bradentonguy50I just read up on Hal Blaine. Amazing! He was on SO MANY hit records. The Wrecking Crew, the Wall of Sound. I had no idea. So many studio musicians were behind the hit records and albums. 😮
Dino Martin Jr. is 13 years old, Billy Hinsche is 14 and Desi Arnaz Jr. is only 11 years old. Wow.
Can't get enough of the Wrecking Crew, the group of a 1,000 faces!
I had that album way back when !... Wish I had it NOW !!
The perfect frisbee 🤡
Available on Apple iTunes (Stereo version album).
I love this music.
Wow.. I forgot about them. So young.
Tragically Dino Martin died 22 years later in a military aircraft accident and they say his father Dean Martin never got over it.
That is sad. Thanks for the info. I had no idea and was wondering.
Dean never did and what parent would... that was so tragic and terrible.. Dino Jr.. was a very handsome boy - man
@@realitychick8903 i think he took the photo thats on the beach boys sun flower album
If I remember correctly, in 1987 Dean was finally on board, for the first time in years, to hit the road with Frank Sinatra & Sammy Davis, Jr. for a reunion tour. Shortly before that was to happen, Dino was killed when his F-4 crashed. Dean was devastated and the tour was cancelled. Dean never got over the loss and died eight years later on Chistmas Day, 1995.
@@tommcginnis9064 I didn't know Dean Martin had a son but I find things like that sad. He seemed like a nice kid.
Excellent, don't know how I missed this tune, all the influences are obvious but played with SO much verve and yet so effortless 😀
Heh heh.
Tee hee.
Back of the net🏆
Rest in peace Dino
I like these guys.
Such a tragic end for Dean Martin, Jr. I remember watching a bio on senior that reported that he never could quite overcome the depression of losing his son... so tragic.
Fantastic job guys!!!
I had their album. I was 12.
I can't beleive they were so young. I remember this song since 1965, even I forgot who played it, for some time I thought It was a song by the British group Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.
It's doze "D's" everywhere.
Dave Dee etc. did the song "Bend It". Such a fun song, that was!
From Ed's first regular color telecast. That's one reason he's dressed up in a tuxedo!
It's such a shame that none of the Beatles' performances on "The Ed Sullivan Show" made it to color. I believe the band's final appearance on the show in 1965 came one week before color.
@@alanarakelian5021 You are exactly right; they appeared on the last black and white episode (one week before this one), which I think was the first episode of the season. It was supposed to be shot in color, but I can't remember why it wasn't. Maybe they didn't have the color equipment quite ready yet.
@@TomElvisSmith The color shows were so much better in appearance than the black and white. Also, don't know if you can verify this or not, but the audio quality in the color episodes seemed to be way better than in the black and white. To me, it's a stark difference. When Ed Sullivan went to color, maybe he upgraded all of the audio equipment at the same time. Any thoughts?
@@alanarakelian5021 As time went on, the technology improved, both sound and picture quality. I do generally prefer the guests in the black and white episodes though, as I'm a bigger fan of the pre-British invasion music scene. Still, some of my favorites were on color shows too.
@@TomElvisSmith I wish they could blend both.
Dino became a pilot and was an excellent tennis player.
He was in the 1979 tennis movie PLAYERS with Ali McGraw.
And crashed
Yes but he was not an excellent pilot. He crashed into a mountain and it was his fault.
I saw it. It was horrible. @@Blaqjaqshellaq
Dino Martin went to the LA Rams training camp and tried out as a receiver in the 1970's. Needless to say he got cut. Lance Rentzel wrote about that in either Sport Magazine or Sports Illustrated.
OMG such talent!! Damn. Love it!!
One of the ancient beginnings of "boy bands".
R.I.P. Billy Hinsche 1951-2021
Even rich kids had good garages. Thank you.
You misspelled good connections.
Dino , had a hofner bass just like Paul Macartney.
Billy has a nice, expensive Rickenbacker.
Thank you for clarifying that!
@@freddielynn7773 Yea. Nothing gets past that guy. In other news, the sky is blue and water is wet.
The nail in the coffin of this band was Billy
I so loved them & this song! I can remember playing this particular song countless times too. Each one of these really young boys were so talented at such a young age! I was shocked to hear how young they were when they performed here on the Ed Sullivan Show, too. I know I realized back then that they were young but just listening to Ed Sullivan just now it hit me how talented the three of them were & poised at such a young age. I was really young myself back then & so loved them! I still love this song, 🤣might I add. I want to add too that Ed Sullivan was such an extraordinary man, bringing these groups, vocalists & acts to a national audience, where some may have remained unknown, if he didn’t give many( all kinds of “acts”, too!!!) their big break on his tv show. He really was an amazing man! I so loved this post/video/ blog & I sooooo love UTUBE, who brings videos( moments in time) back to us, that if not for UTube, would be lost forever! “A Sincere Thank-you To Extraordinary UTUBE!”
♥️💗♥️💗♥️💗♥️💗♥️💗♥️💗♥️💗♥️
Yea, they were so great and underrated. I really miss them badly! 😢
My friend Jane and I were so in love with them. I saw The Beach Boys in Mississippi and I met Billy!!!! He is absolutely gorgeous!!!
@@deborahbishop10 HOW LUCKY YOUR WERE Deborah to meet Billy! How exciting that must have been! I never realized how young they were until I just heard Ed Sullivan’s introduction, just now. I knew they were young but as a preteen myself it probably just didn’t register how young they were, being a kid myself.The three of them were so talented though & I read Billy went on to have further success in the music field. I too loved the Beach Boys & saw them multiple times through the yrs( first time was when I was 12 or 13 & all the original members were in this band & Glen Campbell was also playing in the band( backup), as well! I last saw them 3 or 4 yrs ago at the Big E( big New England state fair) here in West Spfld.., Ma. Only two of the original members played that night but I will always love The Beach Boys! Loved seeing them many times through the yrs but never got to see Dino, Desi & Billy! How lucky you were & then you got to meet Billy too! How great is that & thanks fir sharing your experience too! Take Care!🌺
@@centoeberhardt1663 I miss them too Cento! Best memories...
@@karenstrycharz1499 I still have the record album of Dino, Desi and Billy, the name of the album is Memories Are Made of This. I'm A Fool, Not the Loving Kind and Memories Are Made of This are on the Album. There is also a book by Dorothy Hamill A Skating Life, it is about her skating career but also a great deal about her marriage to Dino. Desi and his wife were really into Ballet and had a school in Boulder. His wife taught a class with Harvey Hysell in New Orleans. My daughter and several of her friends took the class!! They loved it!! Whenever those little girls took the class, I did not know the teacher was Desi's wife! From what I understand Desi is not married so he is available!! This is also interesting, I am from Mississippi. Dino took his flying classes at the Columbus, Mississippi Air Base!! all of the pilots get certification in Columbus, Mississippi.
R.I.P. Billy
At 2:15, you can hear the backing track end, and the band plays a 'tacked on' ending... although most people didn't notice- there's a dramatic difference in the tone of Dino's Hofner bass, vs. the Wrecking Crew's recorded backing track, with the heavily reverbed Joe Osborn's Fender Jazz Bass.
@Thomasfan244 Oh lord have mercy!!!
@Thomasfan244 Studio musicians in Los Angeles. There's a damn good movie on them, called- what else? "The Wrecking Crew" It's here on You Tube. There's literally hundreds of hit recordings they're on.
@@tomcooper6108 😂😂😂😂
I thought Dino's Hofner was on the track?
@@ThatGingerNate I've been building and repairing basses for going on 50 years. I've never heard a Hofner Beatle Bass sound like the bass on the recording of "I'm a Fool"
Very talented kids
Dean Martin was never the same after he lost Dino in plane crash. RIP.
I was thinking the same thing after watching this video! Dean Martin loved his children but so loved his son Dino( so proud of his flying ability!)! You are right though... after losing his beloved son, he was never the same. May they both Rest In Peace!♥️
You think it added to his drinking, I'd say problem but seemed excessive
Hi Shannon
It was a military plane crash. Dino joined the Air National Guard in 1980 and died piloting an F-4 Phantom in a snowstorm during training in 1987.
I love the color of Desi's hair! I thought it was dark brown.
It turned dark brown later as he got older. Most have lighter hair in their youth.
@@Richbar-qe6bx Yes, thank you for your response.
I miss that sound music had then so earthy and real 😊
RIP, Billy. Please say hello to Carl, Dennis, Dean Martin Sr, and Dean Martin Jr.
Obviously lip-synced (not done very well, but - they're kids) but you can tell by watching them that they know how to play (especially Bill y and Desi). The very end the tape fade out and you can briefly hear them actually playing.
You're right on the lip-synching. And there's a guitar bridge in the middle that they cut out.
Crazy , this is the first time that I ever heard these 3 youngsters play and 2 of them I am well aware of who their fathers are and did you notice The Beatles type guitars. It's the 1960's
Yeah, that violin-style bass and the Rickenbacker guitar.
It's a Beatles influenced all over
It’s the first thing I noticed!
It’s 2021 and we still buy Beatle Guitars lol
The Bass is a Hohner ~~
When 39 was old...
This was actually right when mainstream physical fitness began. 10 years later would be the peak of American History. If you didn't get to experience the 70s, lemme tell ya, it was worth being old NOW!
And, for those of you who don't have famous dads......your garage band might get to play at the school talent show, rather than on national television.
STOP-----being jealous---- YOU would be doing this if YOU could as well--- everyone has a turn --- and your time will come.... be happy for them....
Amen.
The had teen clubs. Some bigger than others. A few got national attention, like The Cellar, in Arlington Heights, outside Chicago.
They sound great- as good as many pro groups then. Not many garage bands do. No matter what their names are.
@@sandyjuntunen4088 they are pretending to play and lip syncing to a studio made track
there are tapes of them playing live...they werent good
Wow! I remember this song and had really liked it! I had no idea that these three kids were the performers! Soooo young and very talented!
Like this song don't remember these never seen them on any rock and roll cd sooo very young !!!!!!
These guys aren’t too bad.
How bad were they?
I had no idea they were so young when this was recorded!
Just searched this out, due to reading Olivia Hussey's story, i which she had much praise and love for Dean Paul Martin, her spouse. His tragic death, at only 35...
Recorded at Television City Studios in Hollywood.
So cute 💜💜💜💜
Hi Sandra
Awesome!!!!!
Those 3 rock 🎸
Groovy, man.
Fred Britz was the engineer genius that made those voices shine..
Desi, Jr., was actually 12. He was born on January 19, 1953, famously on the same day that his mother's character gave birth to Little Ricky on "I Love Lucy". Contrary to something else posted here, Desi, Jr., did not play the role of Little Ricky but did appear in one of Lucille Ball's later sitcoms as her son.
Yes. Desi Jr. and his older sister Lucie Arnaz appeared on "Here's Lucy" (1968-74) as Lucy's children on the show. I believe the actor who played Little Ricky on "I Love Lucy" and "The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour" was named Keith Thibodeaux.
Really? Ed Sullivan was really on top of everything and was hardly ever wrong. The man was incredibly sharp.
You are absolutely right! Desi Jr was born on January 19th, 1953 & did not play her son on “I Love Lucy”( original series)! I ironically enough just watched the most interesting biography on Lucille Ball on the “Reelz station/network” on Cable ,two nights ago. There was a man in the show that spoke throughout the special( explaining various episodes from “I Love Lucy”. He stated how he played little Ricky & showed up with so many others for the interview. He told in great detail how the interview went & so much fun 👂 no the whole story on how he was hired. His name is “Keith Thibodeaux & he went on to say that when he showed up for the interview, he walked onto the set of the show to meet Lucy. Desi Sr wasn’t there at the moment. He said Lucy looked at him, turned to who brought him for interview & Lucy said “Well..... he is cute but what does he do?” Keith said that he turned to Lucy ( think he said he was six yrs old at the time but not positive.) & said “I play the drums!” Lucy said “Ok Keith”...” Play the drums for me!” Keith said that at that point they had interviewed so many child actors fur the pivotal part! Keith said he started playing the drums & in walked Desi Sr & he stopped him after a couple minutes, turned to Lucy & said “Well, I THINK WE HAVE FOUND OUR LITTLE RICKY!!!”♥️
And I was 9 years old when this aired.
Good stuff
Desi Arnez Jr started playing the drums when he saw Richard Keith playong them as little Ricky on I Love Lucy.
I forgot this group ever existed.
I never knew that he had a band then. They were very, very good! 🎉😅
After dino was killed in that plane crash that was it for his father. He never got over it. Also I remember my sister sent then a fan letter and got a postcard from all 3 of them.
Forget the song(I was 15 when I saw this live on Ed and me and my buddies hated it because we were playing The Animals, Yardbirds and Stones and it was bubblegum before bubblegum)...How about that 1965 Fire-Glo Burst Rickenbacker 360/12?...
i was 15 too, playing the Stones, Them, Byrds etc., but i was'nt so cool like you that i didn't LOVE this song.Earl Palmer played the drums on the record, james Burton was on guitar, and Larry Knechtel played bass. killer song!!
Don't forget Jimmy James and the blue flames
@@recordguy4321 This record came in 97 out of 100 in 1965 according to Billboard. #1 was Wooly Bully and #3 was Satisfaction, Hang on Sloopy, All Day and All of The Night, My Girl..we played those at the pool parties instead of this one due to popular requests...Never had a request for 'I'm A Fool'...
@@spyderlogan4992 It was top 20 in Cleveland we would play Mystic eyes, Mona, and get requests for I'm a Fool. So we did it for the screaming little 13 year olds. And then go into some Paul revere and the raiders Steppin Out
@@recordguy4321 Mystic Eyes~! Now we're on the same page. Jimmy Page on lead guitar. Our lead singer learned to play harmonica because of that song. The only slow songs we knew were House of The Rising Sun and Ferry Cross the Mersey, that we played both twice a night. 3, 40/20 sets=$100. Big Time for 4 guys. Since we were in Northern Virginia our set lists were different because of regional AM radio.
deep lyrics
God, I loved these guys!! What a great video too!
Love this
.. I believe this was the first color episode of the show ..
Correct
I've seen a longer version where Ed introduces Lucy in the audience and she takes a bow.
Elvis had a bodyguard by the name of Red West , he had a hand in writing this song .
I remember the day watched it
I don't get exited about Beatles style music but it easily beats all of todays' music which should be used as torture technique and not entertainment..
