- These guys are too damn good. So different for the time. And so enjoyable. The harmonies are great and the drummer let's loose there at the end. I wish this track was 3 minutes longer!

This song has a sweet keyboard section. The Zombies have another big hit called TELL HER NO.
Nice reaction! The Zombies are immortal.
Literally! 😆👍
Pun intended?
@@yourebusted5786 Puns, double-puns, and triple-puns are always intended.
I was born in 1960. I consider myself so blessed to have grown up in an era with talented musicians, genius songwriters, and songs that told a story. No auto-tune, minimum overdubs, and pure talent!!
Like the T-Shirt says... "I may be old, but I got to see all the COOL bands!"
I also was born in 1960. At the time I did wish I had been born a few years earlier because I could see all this great stuff happening that I was too young take part in.
I was born at the end of 1955 and I share your love for the music of the "60's!"
Yep - born in 1960 myself.. I was a little young for this one, not having older siblings.. but I found it later.. Zombies were just so cool!
1953 here and have been going to concerts/festivals since 1969. Great memories!
Born 1960 also. We were so spoiled for great music. So glad to see people in their 20s, 30s, 40s discovering all the awesomeness. And it was evolving as we grew up.
1964 to 1980 were the golden years for music.
I hope when you are watching these old time capsules that you realize how young these people were then and no different in their outlook on the future as yourself.Enjoy your youth young man.
Colin Blunstone is one of the best not-so-well-known singers of the Rock era. Zombies had such a distinctive sound. Still touring.
He sounds great in later years. I love his vocals live on Hold Your Head Up.
Colin ROCKS it

Not just still touring, they had a new studio album last year.
60's were wonderful..... folk, psychedelic, rock, prog....... memories!!! Thanks. Great reaction!
A lot of these ‘live’ songs from the 60’s are actually performances on live TV. They often were not even plugged in to instruments or amps. And the set directors struggled to make sets and props that were as cool as the band or song. Hence the weird feeling of watching a music video. Zombies rocked.
If you like that 60s psychedelia, a one hit wonder is Incense and Peppermints by Strawberry Alarm clock.
Had this on 45rpm and played it on my mono record player in 1964. Ten years before I had a quality stereo. Still sounded great to me..m
In 1969, Rod and the legendary guitarist/songwriter Russ Ballard, formed the group "Argent" which broke up in 1978.
Rod then, recorded several solo albums, which were unmemorable.
Few years after Rod's solo period, he and Colin, reformed the Zombies.
It was fabulous growing up in the 60s, with an endless supply of fantastic music and talent here in the UK.
No kidding!
I can clearly remember this sophisticated slice of jazz influenced pop slipping onto the radio in '64/'65. Colin Blunstone's elegant, breathy vocals were completely different to the R n' B influenced vocals of most British pop acts of the time. The Bossa Nova-like "Tell Her No" is another highlight, and their version of Harry Nilsson's "Without Her" (not to be confused with his hit "Without You") is utterly wonderful.
The Zombies were a shining comet... They weren't around for a long time but they certainly blazed bright. Their album "Odessey and Oracle" is one of the greatest albums ever. Up there with the Beatles' "SGT. PEPPER'S" and "REVOLVER" and the Beach Boys' "PET SOUNDS" and "SMILE"...
You are right Lee, the Zombies were a unique sound for the time. Saw them about 20 years ago and they were incredible. ‘I love you’ is a great track too!
I Love this song ~ still! 56 years later.
Great song - and the cover version by Santana from the Moonflower album in 1977 is also fabulous, and well worth a listen.
Was going to post a similar comment. All of Moonflower (part studio, part live) is phenomenal.
You have to keep in mind, anything prior to about 67-68 when FM started gaining a foothold, the only game in town was AM radio, which limited song length to around 3 minutes so they could fit more ads in.
Another thing to keep in mind, there were no videos from that era. Videos didn’t start becoming a thing until the early 80s and MTV. Anything resembling a video from that era are clipped from a TV show or if a concert happened to get filmed.
That being said, it was a fantastic, creative era for music being written and played by real musicians playing real instruments.
In 1978 Rush performed and taped their 10 minute instrumental La Villa Strangiato on stage (in an empty theater) in one take (per Geddy's recent remarks on his book tour).
Yep, in Chattanooga the main rock station was AM up into the mid 70s. Had to listen to ATL stations for FM rock.
@@gold98gtp What platform did they upload it to? What channel did it played on in regular rotation? I'm sure there were bands recording their performances, but until MTV came along videos didn't become an almost necessary compliment to the release of a song. that's all I was trying to convey.
@@yourebusted5786 Where I was growing up you could get 1590 KOMA out of OKC at night. In the daytime I could barely pull in a station from Denver KIMN 950. I'm not sure if either one of them is still around.
The Beatles began experimenting with making music 'videos' around that time. The "Strawberry Fields" video is the prime example.
I like the way you re open to the oldies , most dudes your age wouldn’t even give it the time of day
It's funny you point out the small kit size but in the 50s it was even more minimal! I used to play in a rockabilly band and I love that form of music as it was kind of the punk music of its time in the mid to late 50s.
As a local and regional band when I was in my late twenties, we opened for Reverend Horton Heat a few times back in their heyday in really crowded hot packed small venues.
And I think it's hilarious because their original drummer had like a folding metal chair for the drum throne, and a hi-hat and a snare and one crash cymbal and maybe one ride cymbal, but I'm not sure if he even had that.
At some point he decided he didn't want to tour anymore, and so they picked up this guy from a metal band, Taz, and the first gig he played with them that we opened for, he had just joined 3 weeks earlier and we were shocked at the size of his drum kit, which was not large for metal but for this and especially compared to their first drummer, was insane and surreal, laugh. Many jokes were made about the wall of cymbals, lol.
Whenever we opened for them we got to hang out with them quite a bit and that was really discussed a lot and it was pretty funny. But the cool thing was they came back through six or eight months later, and we opened for them again and by now Taz had reduced his kit by a whole lot. It was still bigger than the one you're looking at here and therefore much bigger than a minimalist rockabilly setup, but it worked.
And then we opened for them again about 6 months or so after that, and he had reduced his kit even more.
Rod Argent on keyboards was amazing. Just one of the amazing 3 minute hits of the British Invasion in the mid 60s.
60s music 🎵🎶 was unbelievable. Loved the 60s
Rod Argent formed another band in the 70’ called Argent. “ Hold your head up”, was one of their best.
I was in high school when the Zombies hit the airwaves. If I recall... they were a part of what was called the "British Invasion". All the English groups like the Beatles and the Stones and many others were what we heard mainly on the radio back in the day. I listened to a lot of "Motown" as well.
Let's just say this my friend.. music from 1964 until 1975 was mind blowing ..so good.. in many genre's... And most of it aged really well.. very talented people in this era
Thanks, L33 - so GROOVY.. this band was amazing and unique.. appreciate your reaction...
Great song. That jazzy break is very cool. Santana do a really nice cover of this.
I was born in 1959 and I have seen the changes through the years...and these guys had a very unique sound. Do go to sleep on the 60's as there is SO much there!
Way to go Lee in giving these guys a chance and some kudos.. They had a kind of painful career. After a couple of big hits like this one and many other cool songs with excellent playing, their career went downhill. At the point of breaking up the band they released the amazing album " Odyssey and Oracle " thanks to it's US producer / musician Al Kooper. Every song on it is a gem, some are way ahead of their time and it yielded a massive hit " Time of the Season" but by then the band had split. Rod Argent and Chris White became the band Argent and Colin had a brief solo career.
This song is from a time when everyone knew the sound of the early 60s was over, and no one knew what the new sound would be, but a lot of people had a lot of things they wanted to try. It helped that the recording industry also had no idea what was coming so they were willing to record almost anything. As a result, we can still listen to the Zombies. (Woohoo!)
It's good to see you getting into '60s music, Lee. We wouldn't have had the great '70s music without the 60s.
I still go to see them every time they're in the area. Also Seen the singer solo. This was from a TV show. Hullaballoo. 7 piece kits were common for drummers. Songs had to be under 3:00 minutes for top 40 radio. The Zombies sound was all their own. The original band minus Paul who died do tour occasionally. Saw that version about 10 years ago. Hugh was up there with the best. Mike Hugg (Manfred Mann), Viv Prince (The Pretty Things) Bob Elliot (The Hillies) and of course Charlie Watts (Stones)
Classic 60's combo. Keyboard, guitar or two, small drum kit and a lead singer. Plenty of harmony. But everything you here is real sound. No loops, no sampling, no bull. Just great music.
Born in 1951, the 60's were my formative years in music. This tune is one of the many 60's tunes I still love & play today, & people much younger than me enjoy. As you say the Harmonies & gritty sound really make this a tune to remember.
the song was ahead of its time by a year or so. Which was the whole thing about the '60s - every month or two
there was a song like this that "broke from the pack," challenging other bands to catch up..
This song is still great! The British Invasion back then changed music forever, thank goodness 💙
That song is a vibe. It's a MUST if you are cruising at the Beach or hanging out near the surf during summer time! The best!
Summertime blues
The 50's birthed Rock and Roll which came from gospel and blues then the 60's evolved into Rock from all the previous plus some jazz too!
Sounds like a precursor to Steely Dan. Excellent song
The Vox Continental was the keyboard sound of the early 60's.... Along with the Hammond organ... As you said Lee, two iconic sounds... Everyone used them. Keep on Rocking.
One of my favorite songs from that year. Zombies didn't have a lot of songs on the radio then, but they were all incredible. Back then there were two tv shows that had acts on doing theier song, Shindig and Hullabaloo. The house band for Shindig, The Shindogs (I know, horrible name!) later became Delaney and Bonnie and Friends, one of my all-time favorite bands. I'm guessing this is a clip from one of either of the shows. So glad you liked it!
I was 6 when this was released and listened to pop am radio constantly. I loved the Zombies and later Argent. He was always well ahead of his time. Nice choice!
I was in high school in 1965-67 in San Francisco so we were in the epicenter of it all. Another great one! So much happened musically in the mid to later 60s that reflected the war, protests, civil rights struggle that got more serious as the decade went on. Then there was psychedelia that started in about 1966. So the 70s were awesome but it was the lead in from the mid to later 60s that really started both decades of being some of the most creative out of the box music ever. The psychedlia actually allowed not only the artists but us the fans to explore where the expanded mind would take us a bit.
The 60s were awesome! Such collisions of musical styles.
Check out Donovan (a Scottish artist) songs like Barabajagal, Sunshine Superman, Atlantis, Season of the Witch.
1960's ... best music ever!!!
TOTALLY AGREE!
Not putting down The Zombies, I have "Time of the Season" on the original 45 but Santana did an incredible cover of this. You owe it to yourself to give it a listen.
The lead singer has a slight raspiness to his voice that is so interesting! Like, how is he doing that?
I grew up listening to this stuff. I always liked this one.
Keep up the great reactions man.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
You are entering the very deep rabbit hole of the 60's. The music of the early part of the decade was light years away from what it became by the end of the 60's. There are so many great artists & songs of that era, you could play great music non stop for days, if not weeks. There was turmoil & youth movements then and many of the songs were echoing the times. A few that I still love today are: The Chambers Bros. - "Time Has Come Today" (the 11 min version); The Count Five - "Psychotic Reaction"; Thane Russal & Three - "Security". I like your reaction style also, have subbed. Will def consider your Patreon.
First came out in 1964 in the UK. Apparently had some 50 O’ levels between them. Very smart band
Another one of those songs that is great every time I listen to it!The reason why most songs were short back in the sixties is because radio station producers allowed for about 3 minutes max in between commercials and announcements for singles. Sometimes songs would have a longer play on record that unless you owned it or a friend had it we would never be able to listen to it.
Time of the Season is a gem. Thx for the grt reaction.✌🏻
Zombies were great. Unique songwriting, arrangements. What was great about the sixties and even some of the seventies is the songwriting was so concise. They could fit more in 2:30 than a lot of writers can do in ten minutes today. Colin's breathy vocals are also unique. Rod was one of the great keyboardists of the era. Electric piano isn't used enough today.
Love these guys. The two pimaries, Rod Argent (keyboard) & Colin Blunstone (vocals) are amazing. No voice like Colin’s.😊
When I was a kid, we could only see bands like this on variety shows on Friday or Saturday nights. We heard them on the radio definitely but didn’t have much idea of what seeing them was like. When I was old enough to start watching The Midnight Special I started to learn a little bit more lol.
When I and my friend were kids, this is all we could do. Wait for a song on the radio or wait for a performance on late night TV.
“ Time of the Season” is a sexy groovy must by them! Subbed! ❤
Loved this song when I was in high school. Thanks for the memories!
The keyboard is iconic it's a Rodes/Rhoads (sp?), probably through a Leslie Amp. Yeah, Argent is pretty cool, the 70's version. So glad you have had the opportunity to explore the early 60s stuff.
the Zombies are top notch. their psychedelic stuff is great, and even their rock and roll earlier stuff is super solid. wish they had a bigger discography!
Nice reaction! I grew up during this time (my wife got me a T-shirt that says, "I survived the Sixties - twice") and am glad you're bringing some of this great music to the attention of the later generations. No computer-generated thump beat here! Check out 'She Comes In Colors' by the Rolling Stones....
The Zombies had a few hits before their initial breakup in 1968 ( Tell Her No, Time of The Season, Shes not There ). After that, Rod Argent formed the band "Argent" whose songs include Liar, Hold Your Head Up, God Gave Rock & Roll To You, It's Only money.
The lead vocalist, Colin Blunstone, also did a few songs with The Alan Parsons Project in the '70s and '80s. (The Alan Parsons Project's albums often featured a few different vocalist as hired guns for particular songs that fit their skill set.)
Yeah...One of my favorites from my mid-teen years...
This was a British TV show, They broke up as they didn't sell. I was an instant fan.
This song played on a British TV show in the USA a year later and they went to the top of the charts.
Their albums were released, but being under contract elsewhere, they couldn't regroup.
Their first real tour was 20 years after the became big. I finally got to see them in 2019.
Rod and Collin are as good as they were back then.
One of the most recent songs they put out is called "Breathe out breathe in" very melodic and well Zombie - ish.
One of my favorite songs from the 60's. It was used in the movie "The Long Kiss Goodnight", which was an awesome movie starring Samuel L. Jackson and Geena Davis. If you have never seen it, definitely check it out.
A lot of these types of performances that you could call precursors to “music videos” were live appearances on “variety” tv shows, and as time went on, there were more shows which catered to youth audiences or were mainly musical performances.
Great classic song of the sixties.
The Zombies are still making music and touring. Their newest album came out last year "Different Game". I would check out "Merry Go Round" and "Dropped Reeling and Stupid". Since you love their harmonies almost every song on their "Odyssey and Oracle" album will be a treat for you.
The Zombies....A name that appropriately catches their sound. Love the Fem Dracula on the love seat...Please let me in to this party...
Awesome and timeless
Cheers
🍄🌲🍄💥✨🌈😍
Both those guy's will turn 79 this year.
Back in my day, Bands put out promotional short films to market the bands to big Record Companies and fans. 😊😊😊
Also check out the cover version by Santana from the Moonflower album in 1977. It is absolute 🔥🔥 He had a hit with his version too!
Outstanding band. You should also check out Santana's cover of this song
💯…Carlos’ guitar solo is killer
This was their best song imo. You can see how their look was Influenced by the Beatles.
Love the Zombies. Since I was born in 1965, I've listened to them all my life, I still remember them being played on the radio, jukeboxes, and by the adults I would be around. I literally teared up when they went into the RRHOF. The only downside is the song is too short.
A year or so before starting ZZ TOP, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard were recruited to go tour as The Zombies, who had a big hit but had just broken up. Back then there were very few videos and most people didn’t really know what bands looked like. They’re Texans and had no keyboard player and The Zombies are English, but… After ZZ TOP hit it big The Zombies would joke that maybe they should go tour as ZZ TOP.
There's a little known band from the '60s' named "The Music Machine" that had a hit with a song titled "Talk Talk" and it was a hard rocker that was a bit before it's time. There is a video of them on a TV show called "Where the Action Is" that's worth checking out. It's a weird mix of a 'mod' setting with a 'rocker' band. Reminds me of Ringos great line when asked if he was a 'Mod or a Rocker', he quipped "I'm more of a mocker." 😏
Vocals are a bit spooky because of the use of minor chords which so well fit Colin Blackstone’s unique voice.
The Zombies are awesome. Old school British cool. 🇬🇧
Great band! 🎶🤗
This song is 60 years when this song came out and I heard if when I turned18 in Viet Nam, thinking of my girlfriend back in Florida. Long, long ago, and faraway.
Love this song and the Zombies were a great band! You may also want to check out Santana's updated version (1977) which is excellent.
The Zombies are awesome! Love their music!...But if you haven't already, you need to check out The Animals - House of the Rising Sun. You would love it!
@debbie
Aside from their "hit" songs,
The Animals/Eric Burdon were steeped in American Southern Blues/ Mississippi Delta Blues, which in the mid‐60's, we'd had so little exposure to that we thought it was a British thing. We had no clue that the British Invasion was born in the music of our own country. The Brits sailed back to America the music of Mississippi John Hurt, Bo Diddly, Howlin Wolf, and so many more that the early Rock radio stations had completely neglected.
I Believe To My Soul
Worried Life Blues
Gin House Blues
are examples from The Animals of the Blues genre influence in the British Invasion.
@Blue
PS - Great reaction - Thanks for. Your love of music and your openness to the 60's influence.
Peace -
Zombies, so good and the keyboard playing just grips you. Their version of Summertime, for me the BEST version. Give it a go/reaction. Cheers.
Also give a listen to Zombies "Time of the Season", and for more 60"s check out the Hollies "Look Through Any Window" and The Left Banke "Walk Away Renee" and "Pretty Ballerina"
Great Band
🇬🇧
Carlos does a smokin' version of this on his 1978 to 1981 tours. .
The Zombies where like 19/20 years old when when wrote this complicated stuff. Crazy.
That Iconic piano sound (at least on stage) is a Vox Continental. There is some dispute about what was used on the recording (but similar). the Vox used by many bands of the era has a great classic 60s sound it easy to spot as the normally black keys are white and the normally white keys are black It was easily portable which made it a perfect for touring bands. (Animals /Beatles /Doors etc)
You're going to be pleasantly surprised on this trip.
The 70's were a shadow of the 60's
Like this 60's stuff? Check out Love, Forever Changes. One of the greatest albums of all times. More a whole work than collection of individual song, so it's hard to recommend any one particular song. But you just can't go wrong with any one of them.
I'll look into it! Thank you for watching 😁
Great song. 1963 through 1975 but it only sounds good when you're high.
I saw them last year. Still Really good
The Zombies are still turing seen the them a couple of months ago. Fun Show
A phenomenal track by the Zombies. And if you like the groove, check out Santana's cover. It's pretty epic.
Yes, the 60's were great!
Have you checked out the Moody Blues yet?
They were one of the earliest prog rock bands.
Nights in white Satin was one of their earliest hits.
also I had suggested a couple of later Rush songs and I was wondering when you may be getting to them.
Cheers
Those close harmonies have the Everly Brothers written all over them.
A1 vibes my man
Must hear Time of the Season
Dropped Reeling and Stupid is a single track released by them in 2023...video on YT.
