Great to hear this getting more airplay in the UK now with Gold Radio playing it regularly. Fair puts a spring in my elderly steps taking me back to my early teens
@@oldiesgeek454 You have to be born with that talent. I had a killer falsetto until I turned 60, now it very strained. I could sing all the Frankie Vallie stuff and Lou Christie as well , but sadly now it is gone. You can't get that talent with hormones or surgery..lol....God has to give it.
Little story. Ironically, when I was a teenager, I was homeless living with my mom. We lived in a motel. And I listened to this by the pool, with my Walkman, 1992 Orlando, FL
This song 🎶 bring back old memories, still listening in 2023 He have a soulful voice! This is my favorite song 🎶 so tell me are you a fan of Lou Christie…?
...wow - I didn't realise that...but at 68 years old, there's a lot of things that I don't realise anymore...but I do remember Lou as a fantastic singer...well done sir.
I remember this song when it came out in 1969,,good high energy song,,,good times back then,,when the lyrics were so easy to u understand and sing these songs brings back so many memories foir me and family....

Him and Frankie Valli could certainly Hit the High Notes! “ I want to make you mine” was the First 45 Record That I owned growing up and it was given to me by my Girlfriend who lived Next Door to me!
I heard this song recently on satellite radio while in a rental car on a trip. OMG, another blast from the past. I was only about ten when this came out, but I loved it as a kid and don't think I've heard it since. What a great discovery. So many great forgotten songs!
I was just watching the re-run of the Andy Murray-Thanasi Kokkinakis match at the Australian Open. Towards the end of the second set, the commentator said 'He tried every trick in the book in that game' - and suddenly all I could think of was Lou Christie. How amazing to see that other people have watched this ancient tune in the last couple of days. 1969, good lord, I was ten I suppose, absorbing everything - including great pop music.
I love the 60s I see how Lou gets groovy in this song. Thank you for sharing. I was born in 1980 but appreciate music like this 👍 hello from Beverly Hills California
If you look in a dictionary for the words "hot" or "sexy" there should be a photo of Lou....what a voice, and face and what a body....he certainly had it all ~
Songs such as these, while to me have remained favorites since they were current are often and sadly overlooked in the annals of R&R but the joy, the energy, the hooks..just go to show that even the so called 'trivial' songs of the 60's were imaginative, so special, melodic and different from one another...masterpieces.

Me too this just popped in my head this morning so went on RUclips don’t know why these oldies pop up but fab brilliant I was 11 yrs old when this came out that dance hah great memories
Linda Scott and Elle Greenwich were the backup singers on this record and are the one's dancing in the background. Linda Scott would leave show business for good shortly after and retire to private life.

Who are Chicks pretty cool great style backing Lou up good video thinking it's 1969 crazy i wasn't even around im an 80s lover and MTV started in 1981 with hi tech colour brilliant videos and create there's so much more i guess like this from 50s,60s and 70s
If those really are the girls siging backup, one of them is Linda Scott, who had her own hit years earlier with I've Told Every Little Star. I think she's the datk-haired girl on the left.
I've Ajay's loved this track. This video is delightfully kitsch ( look at the far left, and you seesomeone, who looks like they just came down for a dip, and really got into it). It's like Lou went down to Florida to visit his grandparents' retirement community ,in Boca. 'Honey; c'mere - Lou's by the pool, singing with those two nice young women (though they could were a bit more)! Before I pay canasta, I'm gonna go and have a listen - and tell himto stand up straighter! He's all hunched'. Sigh. Good fun, good music.

I was 14 when this song came out, I'd forgotten all about it - I'm now 68 and wow, the memories!!
10 years old when I first heard it and totally obsessed with it/him now ! 💚
I'm the same age and this came out when I was at High School - loved it then, love it now....
I'm listening Christmas day 2024
I woke up with this song in my head and had to find it! Incredible!
i love the motel guest dancing in the background. she was brave and nice. so generous of lou to keep her in video
She is part of that magical moment
👍👏 💃 If I were there I would have been dancing too. Impossible not to dance to this song.
I think that it's wonderful that someone so famous at that time could be so approachable.
I scene in him concert at Chicago Theatre in 1989 or so before I went to Marine Corps.
Blimey 1969 fab times always a dance song ❤️ love it

I've seen Lou 4times, puts on a great show! THIS IS my fave song.
Sad but no kids today or even their young parents heard of this guy or his songs but those who know-know..thanks Lou...
I got lucky enough to have parents who love this type of music. Im 12 and I love this song so much
So true. Great talent

Love Lou Christie, saw him live in Sault MI, got his autograph on a couple of albums. See him if you can, you will not be disappointed.
I have always really enjoyed the part where the background singers echo the lead singer. It's very catchy.

This hopefully song at the height of the Viet Nam war! Another contrast in music. The fighting was so fierce at this time. Doesn't anyone remember?
The world is still at war somewhere and new songs are still being written.
We stopped that senseless war, yet the tentacles of the war profiteers are everywhere today. Sad and sadder.

Love this song just as much as when it came out in 1969. A few years earlier his falsetto was even more thrilling in "Lightning Strikes."
