    I've heard these songs many times on the radio in 1968.... And I was only 10 years old. Then, recently, I was so happy to stumble across them again and to see Gary Puckett for the first time ... How he looked in 1968. OMG, good-looking!! If I had been much older I would have been chasing him around Ed's stage LOL
