For your love is a good song but Eric Clapton left the Yardbirds after that. I thought there best songs were, Heart full of soul, Over Under Sideways Down and others so many. And to think they had 3 of the top 5 rock guitarists of all time. No all at once but at one time, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and later Jimmy Page were in that group.
@@c2itccase9 right! So many great hits! All those old bands. Gary Lewis and the playboys. Paul Revere and the Raiders. The Left Bank. Dave Clark Five. Blood Sweat and Tears. I can go on and on!!!
@@garyrasberryjr.552 not exactly. Argent and White wrote the majority of tracks. They had a Lennon/McCartney writing credits arrangement. Ballard also left in 74, and the band continued without him. Having said that, I remember Argent (the band) being considered Ballard's band, at least at some point in the band's career.
Funny story: The Zombies are an excellent English band. In the late 60s an unscrupulous promoter hired Frank Beard and Dusty Hill, two Texans from the future ZZ Top, to tour with a couple other guys as The Zombies and make some money, figuring nobody knew what The Zombies looked like. This was before MTV. It’s all true! The Zombies joked years later that maybe ZZ TOP could return the favor and they could tour as ZZ TOP and make some money themselves.
that is funny. I saw the so-called zombies when they were touring and shortly after was told that that wasn't the real band but I never knew they grew up to be ZZ Top. funny thing is, not 5 minutes ago, I told the commenter who said the zombies recorded their first song by winning a battle of the bands and the prize was a chance in a recording studio. And I told her that that was the most informative comment I've ever read not 5 minutes ago. and then you come along and tell me this which is even more interesting. at least to me. thank you for the info
I'm probably the same age as your parents so I remember when it came out. This song and the Zombies other stuff was way ahead of its time. That's why it still sounds so good now. They seemed to create a mood with their music that no one else could come near.
1964 was a great year for music. Another great one from Britain was "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" by Manfred Mann. Dave Clark five also had a bunch of hits......The Beatles and The Supremes ruled the charts though.
Three members of the band, Rod Argent, Paul Atkinson and Hugh Grundy, first came together to jam in 1961 in St Albans, Hertfordshire, England. Argent wanted to form a band and initially asked his elder cousin Jim Rodford to join as a bassist. Rodford was in a successful local band, the Bluetones, at the time and so declined, but he offered to help Argent (Rodford would later join in 2004 when the band reformed). Colin Blunstoneand Paul Arnold joined the other three to form the band in April 1962, while all five members. The Zombies formed in the London suburb of St. Albans in the early '60s, and didn't actually entertain serious professional ambitions until they won a local contest, the prize being an opportunity to record a demo for consideration at major labels
Jim Rodford later became the bassist for the Swinging Bluejeans, The Kinks, (25 years) and finally joined his cousin in the Zombies, along with his son, on guitar, until his passing. Both an excellent bassist and vocalist!! He was immortalized in the Zombies song, Friends of Mine, listing couples in the lyrics...they're the final couple, "Jim and Christie".
I saw the Zombies back in 2019. They were the opening band for the Carl Wilson (Beach Boys) final tour (oops I meant Brian Wilson). This song sounded as good as it did back in the 60s
I was a teenager in the sixties and I enjoyed the sound of the music and vocals but did not take the lyrics too seriously for the most part. It was pop rock!
“Care of Cell 44” is from their awesome second album- Odessey and Oracle- and is currently playing on a tv commercial. Very interesting “concept album”. “This Will Be Our Year” and “Time of the Season” are on this album as well.
O & O was their swansong and masterpiece, just as the band called it quits...ironically, Time of the Season became a hit, a few years later, in '69. Do yourselves a huge favour and check out that entire album!
I LOVE the Zombies....they are still doing great music today! Time of the Season & She's Not There are great hits from them too. thx for sharing Jamel :)
Their song "This will be our year" is great song from them. The Zombies second\last album "Oracle and Oddesy"was a commercial flop but has since become legendary.
Thank you Jamel for featuring Zombies, Animals, Kinks, Spencer Davis Group any many other great British bands from the 60's. This was the Golden Age of Rock IMO .Now, PLEASE check out the Small Faces (1965-69), one of the biggest, most talented groups from this period. Many people request Tin Soldier and Itchicoo Park from their later years, but I think you would love their earlier music when they were an energetic, rockin little R&B band. Two fun videos are from the German show Beat, Beat, BEAT in '66 - "Whatcha Gonna Do About It" or "All or Nothing". However, I think you should listen (no video) to "You Need Lovin" since you are such a big fan of Zepplin, who used SF version as inspiration for "Whole Lotta Love". Page and Plant were HUGE fans of Steve Marriott. In fact Page asked Steve to be the vocalist for LZ. Steve said no, so Plant got the job. I appreciate your consideration, I know you get tons of requests. But I think that Small Faces would fit right in with this 60's theme you've been dipping into. Great job!
This is based on Brazilian bossa nova which was big at the time. Lots of rock bands and jazz bands were playing bossa nova or wrote numbers based on bossa nova.
I had the distinct honor of attending The Zombies inducted in to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2019. They sound the same! They look great! It was so amazing! Thank you Jamel!
I went to the record store and bought the vinyl single of this song back in 1965 and played it over and over and over on my record player. It was also on the radio on constant rotation.
One of the interesting things about the Zombies was the way most of the songs about love had a twist. Even the song "I love you" has him admitting that the words don't come out when he's around her. But others also involve singing to friends. "I don't wanna know" Has him telling his friends to stop bad mouthing his girl. But "She's not there" has him blaming his friends for not warning him about what she is like. Here he is warning his friends about what she is like. Some have him unable to get over his girlfriend, bit Remember the Swan" has him regretting that when he sees her he now feels nothing. Perhaps their oddest has him waiting for his girl to return after some time away, in prison. The shame of the Zombies is that they broke up when their amazing album Odyssey and Oracles (almost every song on that is worth reacting to) failed to sell, only to have it take off after they broke up.
You do know that they re formed in the I think in the late ‘90’s and still tour. They have done an Odessy and Oracle tour. The album now does sell well an is highly acclaimed. They are in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. They in fact stole the show in their induction year.
@@angelaackerman8934 I was lucky enough to see that tour, but in the '60s they were writing Beatles quality songs, reforming thirty years later is not the same thing. Two of the original members, Argent and Blunstone, are in the reformed band. The two other surviving members played Odyssey and Oracle on that tour but I think are otherwise retired.
I’m 65 years old and I remember all these songs, I was 6 years old when this song came out. I lived with my grandparents and they loved music, there was always music playing, even when we were watching tv you could hear music coming from one of the rooms
One of the truly great early Bands from the early "Classic Rock" era. Came out the same time time as The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and all of the other groups from what is known as "The British Invasion" in the early 1960s.
Saw the Zombies live at a free concert in 2007 at Asser Levy Park in Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY. They sang all their hits and sounded great. What an experience.
Written by Rod Argent, there on the keyboard, as many of their hits were. You really must get back to the band Argent. You loved their 'Hold Your Head Up' and you'll also love 'God Gave Rock and Roll To You' and many others.
I saw The Zombies played their 1968 album Odessey & Oracle in its entirety at The Wilbur Theater in Boston in May 2017. They would also play this song later in the concert.
Gonna make an under-the-radar Bee Gees suggestion: "Don't Fall In Love With Me". Pretty sad song, but a GORGEOUS vocal by Robin Gibb. You'll want the second demo, found on their 1981 album Living Eyes.
Great song. Reminds me of the scene in Of Human Bondage, the old version where Leslie Howard pleads with his friend not to take his girl. Pretty old movie and one of the few movies Leslie didn't flutter his lines through.
'Had this song on a 45 rpm new when i was 14 years old. Wore it through to the flip side. Thanks for playing this sad and beautiful melody. It always felt to me more like he was speaking his heart out into the wind than he was actually talking to his friend/rival.
The coolest of English bands ever and there were/are many. The Zombies had it before anyone did in 1964....vocals, instruments, lyrics. Was 11 in Australia when this came out and had older brothers. Australian radio played all English, American and Australian music so knew a good song when we heard it.
For old timers like myself just a big thank you for keeping songs like this alive. It'll be up to people like yourself to be the keepers of the flame. 'Cause guys like us ain't gonna be around forever. Keep up the good work.
@@AdrianDeVore Thanks for that Adrian, I had looked at a page that said '64. Just reading on their Wikipedia page it states a Oct '66 release in the UK where they recorded the album. The release in the States may well have been '67. Cheers.
'64!!!! These guys were so far ahead of the Invasion pack, no pop band had this sophistication at this juncture. Rod Argent's jazz inflected styling, coupled Colin Bluestone's, singular, breathy soulfulness...their harmonies and underrated rhythm section also needs to be mentioned.
jamel check out video of the zombies doing TELL HER NO at their rock n roll induction ceremony in 2019.....colin can still sing the hell out of this tune
Jamel,..Thank you for your understanding of the song. I've heard that song since I was a very small child and I never ever thought of what the song meant, ( just a catchy tune, at least that's what I thought) but you analyzed it very quickly and came up with the reason for his lyrics and I'm impressed😀 I've got to say thank you you're right that's exactly what he was saying to any other man that might take an interest in the woman he loves. Good job thank you sincerely Tammie🌺💞💖💘
Sweet old song, what an era for music that was. Same era as "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying," by Gerry and the Pacemakers, a *beautiful* 60s song. Thx for the great genres, mucic and comments/reactions!
This song/band are way before my time, but they are one of my favorite bands and this is one of my favorite songs. My parents have always said I was born in the wrong time. Lol.
I was in 7th grade when I first heard this. And I thought - if zombies could sing, THIS is what they would sound like. Colin Blunstone's vocals were haunting and... kind of cadaverous.

Check out the Zombies “She’s Not There” and “Time of the Season”. Then check out Santana’s version of “She’s Not There”. Awesome
He's already reacted to the first 2 songs.
Zombies - I Love You - don't think he has done that one.
That solo in the Santana version of She's Not There is OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!
This song was so good!! The Zombies were a very cool band!!
You should listen to The Yardbirds-for your love..another classic
Yes! LOVE that song!
O yes, that is a great song, what memories.
Incense And Peppermint by Strawberry Alarm Clock.~APRIL LIPKE

The further back you go, the cooler it gets. The years 1964-72 were golden, with '67 the peak.
Agree!

Keyboardist Rod Argent also had a successful solo career. "Hold You Head Up"
I think he's reacted to it a few months ago.
ruclips.net/video/-ysO4IHmC1s/видео.html
He had a band named after him. The song was written by Chris White, the Zombies' bassist.
@@mayasaunt In Argent, Russ Ballard was the primary songwriter. Russ wrote "Liar" for Argent's first album. Three Dog Night had a hit with it.

THE ZOMBIES, "TELL HER NO". JUST A WONDERFUL GROOVE FROM THE EARLY 60'S, AND BRITISH INVASION...
I forgot how much I like this song... I wasn't even born yet when it came, bit I learnt it from my parents.
I'm probably the same age as your parents so I remember when it came out. This song and the Zombies other stuff was way ahead of its time. That's why it still sounds so good now. They seemed to create a mood with their music that no one else could come near.

Just listen to how it’s recorded. Pure as pure can be. Brilliant.
Time of the Season in 69 was I believe their biggest hit. I enjoyed this and their other tune She's not There. Good voice, catchy tune. Nice
Yes that's my favorite by them.
She's Not There has a great bass groove.
Mama bought me a transistor. This was my first introduction to Rock & roll. Zombies & The Young Rascals are still 2 of my favorite bands of all time!
Solid early 60's rock. I love the black and white videos. Shows how far we have come.
Two other Zombie's songs you might like are "She's Not There" and "The Time Of The Season".
Love those!
He has already reacted to both of those songs. :)
Thank you for keeping this great song alive♥️🥰
Great song is “Midnight Confessions”from The Grass Roots. Check it out!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
These cats dripped talent this song is 58 years old like me n it still rocks!!!

Same - saw them in 2019. Colin Blundstone did & still has a beautiful voice - it seems he has taken care of that voice.
Carl Wilson passed away in 1998.
I was a teenager in the sixties and I enjoyed the sound of the music and vocals but did not take the lyrics too seriously for the most part. It was pop rock!
“Just remember she said that to me.”
That’s one of the very best pop lyrics ever.
SMOOTH.....more Zombies please 🎶🎵
Happy Valentine's everyone 🌹⚘
Big song in 1964. That is how the groups all dressed - suits.
Their songs were brilliant gems!
Absolutely love the Zombies...& their awesome hits..that R timeless!! Thx 4 this one, Jamal. 🙂🙂💕💕

One of my favorite bands from the 60s. Some serious throwbackness happens when I listen to the Zombies 🥰
The Bangles Susanna Hoffs looked so amazing when she inducted them into the RRHOF
Susanna Hoffs *always* looks amazing.
Never wondered about the lyrics, just loved the music.
Ikr !
Except for Dylan maybe.
It's kinda like Dolly Parton talking to Jolene
exactly
My wife just said the same thing.
Lol exactly what I was gonna say too
This song is the exact opposite of Sting's "If You Love Somebody, Set Them Free". That's a great song to react to if you haven't already!
This is based on Brazilian bossa nova which was big at the time. Lots of rock bands and jazz bands were playing bossa nova or wrote numbers based on bossa nova.

If you notice Colin Bluntstone is standing off the mic,at least 3 feet! That’s how powerful and clear his voice is
Gotta love that basic drum set, one little keyboard, and just two on the guitar. No wall of sound there
These 60's garage bands always made my day.
The Zombies are in the rock and roll hall of fame!!
My favorite Zombies song is "This Will Be Our Year."
