I’m 61, man I miss this music. The lyric’s, grove made all those problems go away. Happy to see my son appreciate this type of talent - we had the best music. Thanks Tommy and all those 60’s gifted musicians
I met my Girlfriend in the summer of ‘68 … We fell in love 🩷.. This was our song .. Married 52 years this coming May 13th (2024) 73 y/o .. like yesterday 😎.. Memories ☺️👍
Being a baby boomer this was one of my favorite songs - Tommy James was so ahead of his time because this song says it all and mirrors what needs to be done during these tumultuous times we are experiencing. This song does raise one's vibrations and should be listened to daily in order to lift our spirits, send love and light to those who need it, and to bring us into a better and more loving world 🗺
This is my all time favorite song. I do listen to this song everyday. This song does something to me deep down into my soul, it make me happy & puts a smile on my face. It fills my heart with Love. Thank You Tommy James.
Sitting in a bar at Allen's Landing/Buffalo Bayou. Listening to Tommy James playing this new release. Getting ready to be shipped out to Vietnam. I won't ever forget this! Over 50 years ago! 😮
I am 63 and still get goosebumps just like the 1st time I heard this song ❤ Thank You Tommy James & the Shondells for giving me hope for a better planet 🌏 ❣️❤
This is My Favorite Song of all time. It's my daily fix, I listen to this song every single day. It puts Love & Hope in my Heart. "All of his children in every nation, there'll be Peace & Good, Brotherhood. Crystal Blue Persuasion". 💙 Thank You Tommy James & the Shondells.

Love this! The song was Tommy's expression of his journey to God, and away from drugs as he described in an interview that was rerun on RUclips. The words are incredible.
Tommy grew up a Catholic, though not devout. I grew up Lutheran, so I couldn't get him to go to church with me, so I was very glad when he found himself drawn to the Billy Graham crusades on TV and established himself as a serious Christian. He gets up early at home and the first thing he does is read and study his Bible while having his coffee.
Sweet! Always greatly appreciated, Paul, I thank you for your comments and for watching. Now--about, “Donna”--having completed the audio, finding clips to put together the video has been a problem.
It's all lip-synched, but he was the real thing. What you're hearing is the real Tommy James, just not at this present age. It's OK Tommy, you should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
They are playing with a backing track, who’s playing the keyboard and acoustic guitar? Most likely lip sinking as it sounds exactly like the released version. Still a great song!

This has to be lipsync .listen to the fadeouts at the end of the song. Especially Crystal Blue Persuasion.
Me too, I'm 67

Man, I get it. I'm 64. I can get lost in the memories.
There's maybe a dozen songs that when I hear them I say to myself, "Now THAT'S my favorite song." This is certainly one of them.

Just beautiful and all the music coming out at that time just what a time for baby boomers to live love it all
I was in VietNam when this was a big hit. We sat near our bunkers, playing it over and over again on portable tape players. Classic.
Peace ,love & unity
Thank You for Your service.

Same to you ❤
Look over yonder

The sun is a-rising

A new day is coming (ooh, ooh)
People are changing
Ain't it beautiful? (Ooh, ooh)
Crystal blue persuasion
Better get ready to see the light
Love, love is the answer (ooh, ooh)
And that's all right
So don't you give up now (ooh, ooh)
So easy to find
Just look to your soul (your soul)
And open your mind
Crystal blue persuasion, hmm, hmm
It's a new vibration
Crystal blue persuasion
Crystal
Blue persuasion
Maybe tomorrow
When he looks down
On every green field (ooh, ooh)
And every town
All of his children
And every nation
There'll be peace and good brotherhood
Crystal blue persuasion, yeah
Crystal blue persuasion, aah-aah
Crystal blue persuasion, aah-aah
(Crystal blue persuasion, aah-aah)
Beautiful 73 memories ❤️

Hermoso Tema aqui en mi Pais Peru se hizo conocida como Persuasion al Amanecer me trae muchos recuerdos 2023 paso la pandemia y sigo escuchandola Gracias Dios por permitirlo ❤❤❤❤❤
That’s a soung I had decades to dad after his fight with cancer❤😂🎉

Preciosa melodía, me gusta mucho❤
I recall listening to this in my Dad's new '69 red Ford Falcon.
Gran música de los setentas recuerdos de secundaria
Sure takes me back. Wish i could.
OMG this is such beautiful song by these. Love them! How could not them? Love their songs!!!!
Great song, thanks Tommy!
Remember Trace we had good times
Actually named my youngest daughter Crystal.
Great song
Hermoso tema del recuerdo
This song os hot ! 😊
Love it ❤️🙏❤️❤️. Donna
Sweet!
Always greatly appreciated, Paul, I thank you for your comments and for watching.
Now--about, “Donna”--having completed the audio, finding clips to put together the video has been a problem.
@@El72MC it was featured in the movie La Bamba. Can you use some of the footage
@@callycatt1 Yes--about a minute of the total just short of four minutes.
here because of white house plumbers… great song! 😊
Too perfect to not be lip synched. Great song tho. I want this one on my life dvd when I go on.
I agree
Bella bella siempre desde que la conocí bella
❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
You have to listen to this song with powdered blue glass in your nose
Música para transportarte
1965
1969.
Dad lost the battle ❤😂🎉
So sorry.
👏👏👏👏❤️🎶🎉🎉🏆🙏
It's all lip-synched, but he was the real thing. What you're hearing is the real Tommy James, just not at this present age. It's OK Tommy, you should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I'm shocked if he is not in the rock&roll Hall of Fame.
The lip syncing is pathetic. This a studio cover and they are just moving their lips.
They are playing with a backing track, who’s playing the keyboard and acoustic guitar? Most likely lip sinking as it sounds exactly like the released version. Still a great song!

My sister's boyfriend had a Mustang with an 8 track tape player would let me drive his car letting me chase some beautiful chick...
while he was banging your sister, they had to get you to leave the scene somehow?
No bongos. Tracked in. Hair gotta be dyed. Otherwise was a great song.
I noticed that too. Someone commented that this whole performance was lip synced. That would explain the lack of a conga/bongo player on stage.
@@mickeyjunior1 And the missing horns.
Heard this song for the first time in decades on Breaking Bad, took me back to being sixteen years old and gave me goosebumps.
Have not watched Breaking Bad, but its so resonant that that I, too, first had this amazingly great song at sixteen.
To me also the same thing happened. I heard it on breaking bad and my mind went back to adolescence.
Rock an Roll Hall of Fame is a JOKE until Steppenwolf an Tommy James is inducted
AGREED!
