i was very young when this song was hitting maybe 12 years old. my dad used to let us have a small party in the living room while my mom was working it was AWESOMe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We love that music because it’s what we grew up with, but I doubt many kids today are envious of our music any more than we were envious of our grandparents music. They have their own music, and they like it
Such innocent times!! I feel extremely blessed to have grown up in that time period😃 I miss those happy times!!! GREAT memories!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
It was a great time. I was a senior in high school when this song was recorded. We will never nave such good music again. This reply is being made three years after yours; I hope that you are doing well.
Heard this song playing on my grandpas tv the first time we had a chance to meet him followed by heart of gold 😪. Rip grandpa I miss you so much wish we had more time together
I always cried when they played this on the radio ...same with Everybody Loves a Clown. Dang, so many songs had me in tears back then. Leader of the Pack ..forget it! Back when music was music and songs had real lyrics.
I know what you are saying. This song came out mid way during my senior year in high school. I loved all of the songs that you have mentioned. This comment is made three years after yours; I hope that you are well
Until now 2022 I still like the songs of Gary Lewis and the Playboy's God bless you all hopefully many more songs will appear on my Phone Thanks for sharing God bless you all
Love this song. Love this band. Tripplehorn who plays lead guitar has a daughter who played in Criminal Minds while Prentiss was away. Thia band has sonew really good hits. Good memories. Oh how I wish I could go back in time.

Damn, I'm old'esh lol, I feel 25 & 18 when I listen to The MC Music, Solid Golden Oldies 24/7 no ads but as the music plays they give you trivia of the band members, all kinds of trivia. Things that make ya go "no sht, really?" Idk that! I'd go back in a second to live it all over again.

I met Bobby Vee on a cruise and asked him about the story that he turned the song down. He stated quite clearly that it was never offered to him and he would have recorded it if it had been. He gave the same answer to someone else at a Q and A session.

😅
My big brother used to play this song when i was a kid. I liked this song even then.
I was 10 years old when this song came out. I remember teenagers in my neighborhood singing this song all the time.
I was a teenager when this song came out! Young people envy our generation with the great music we had in those days!
Songs like these are absolutely timeless and adoring to listen too. ☺️
...and I am one of those people! [:-)]

Great you found it here too. I was born in the late 90s 🤪

Love the music and loved the times . The world has lost its way in the music today .
I agree 😥
Can't hum today's music - melody is AWOL!
I agree and the music today is awful 😖
Such a tight group in their singing and rhythm.
I was 8 or 9 yr old I'm 64 now & still love it
Love this song. Love this band. Tripplehorn who plays lead guitar has a daughter who played in Criminal Minds while Prentiss was away. Thia band has sonew really good hits. Good memories. Oh how I wish I could go back in time.
Leon Russell, (keyboards and arrangements) and session singer, Ron Hicklin made those songs sound great on the actual record.
Take you back to memory lane. I was about 12 yrs,old
Woah. That’s amazing 😯👍
I was 8

A great song, from back in the day. But I really didn’t need Popeye to start it.
It’s just an intro of mine and I didn’t expect the video to get so many views :0

@@dirtyharry72 Lol, I'm imagining Clint Eastwood delivering your line!
I kind of dig it.
I love this band and this Beat-Song. Great !!! 🥰
Dennis Schulz I love it too! It’s one of my favorite songs to listen to 😌🎧
@@Sensei_Athos_VR Yes, it´s a romantic song 😌
CLASSIC AWESOME MADE DAY AGAIN FOR THE 5000TH TIME SOUNDS BETTER THAN THE LAST FOUR THOUSAND & NINETY NINTH TIMES G.LEWIS & GANG FOREVER
I played this song all day I was only 5 or 6 yrs old
Gary Lewis was so cute and I love his songs
I agree 😇👍
Jerry Lewis has got a truly talented son. Both father and son are legend.
@MONO Very True !!!
Loved Jerry jr, but couldn’t stand the father, and the fact he left his kids out of his will tells me everything
Thanks for posting.Such an idealistic yet classic tune. Love it!
You’re welcome! 😌
Also I like this song this diamond ring performed by gary lewis and the playboys
It’s a fantastic song. Pretty timeless and I think it’ll be listened to for many generations to come 😁
Love this song!😊
I love it too! 😌
The great Carl Radle on bass.
Such a talent. Like Jamie Jamerson at Motown, an unsung hero on bass. Hidden glory, there but not in-your-face, with tasty, why-didn't-I-think-of-that licks.
From a live broadcast on WGN-TV Chicago (channel 9) on the same set that "Bozo's Circus" was broadcast from.
Interesting :0
Good song.
I agree 😇
Did I tell you: The Lead Guitarist is Tom Tripplehorn.Last name sound familiar.His daughter is Jeannie Tripplehorn actress.They look alike.
I didn’t know that 😜
The names of the playboys are provided in the video, An Evening With Gary Lewis and The Playboys. The video goes for about 26 minutes, and is a fund video. Gary is always flirting with a blonde who is seated in the front row of the audience
Great vocals.
Yus absolutely 🤓
Was l listening on transfer radio
More talented then his pops and a gentleman
Now on Ed Sullivan Gary Lewis played drums, and here he’s playing guitar. Figure that out.
If I recall, Bobby Vee originally passed on recording this composition.
I met Bobby Vee on a cruise and asked him about the story that he turned the song down. He stated quite clearly that it was never offered to him and he would have recorded it if it had been. He gave the same answer to someone else at a Q and A session.
@@paulsgamingslotchannel Guess you were also curious about that apparent musical myth? Thank you.
Ron Hicklin the real lead singer on all the Gary Lewis And The Playboys records.
Garry Lewis Playboys armesome talent like his Dad. Joe Amato nyc
the family jewels[1965]
Carl Radle , Derek and The Dominoes , bass God
One of the best. I often compare his value, talent and nuance to that of Jamie Jamerson at Motown.
The accordian player no doubt got all the babes.
He probably did 🤪
this is the first record i bought,not really knowing who they where
Written by the great Al Cooper
Is it true Gary Lewis's father was Jerry Lewis?
I think so 😯
He was. He didn't advertise it because he wanted to make it on his own.
Nice, but go to about 51 seconds in for the song to start.
Sorry about that 😅
@@Sensei_Athos_VR Eh, no problem.
Wow..Jerry Lewis' son
....how am I 56...and just now realize it? 🤔
I have no idea but glad you discovered this 🤓
Winder why Jerry cut him out the will? Gary playboys
Why is there an accordion player in the group but there is no accordion playing in the song? It is probably used as a prop.
just so you know smarty pants "John West - organ and (Cordovox (electronic accordion))"
Nicolas cage was in a band Cool !!
I think it's called the player got played
?_?
Jeannie Tripplehorn's dad on guitar
In my mind GL and the playboys were better than the Beatles, but their name always got my attention also, same way with Paul Revere and the Raiders.
Hmm, You think "The Wrecking Crew" with vocals by Ron Hicklin are better than the Beatles !!! Gary Lewis could not sing, he was overdubbed and the instrumentals were all "Wrecking Crew"...
0:52
Gary is a percussionist so why he playing guitar?
Maybe he can play multiple instruments. For that, I don’t mind 😛
Nice comrade lol the name
Tom Raptor77 😜😜😜
Yah I quit era sorry Comrad
Terrible lip synching. Very obvious this was not live. Nice tune, but poor fakery.
Thank the gods we had your powers of deduction on hand, Forum Boss. How....can....we.....EVER repay you?
The instrumentals were done by "The Wrecking Crew" and Gary Lewis was overdubbed by Ron Hicklin...
Dude on his left looks a lot like Peyton Manning!!
Born way too soon! Imagine all the free cheese he could have gotten walking down any street in Wisconsin!
