Sorry I was about 17 when this came out, a brilliant song and Gary was a good singer, but live he goes out of tune …As for one of the best singers of all time🥴, to compare him with Freddie Mercury Roy Orbison Meat Loaf Perry Como Frank Sinatra etc etc …Sorry not in the same league but in fairness that’s your opinion and we all have one …
His voice might not be up with the best of all time, but it ranks in the upper echelon for certain. I never heard him live, but I know even some of the best can have lapses!
@@dermotmcglinchey282 In those days they didn't have high-quality ear pieces that would provide the performer with instantaneous feedback of their voice pitch. They only had big speakers angled up at them, and in the case of the Ed Sullivan show, the speakers would have been off camera and not directly in front of them.

Oh my who is still listening to Gary’s music today in 2024 what a lovely voice he had all the songs are true lyrics Gary is still singing today in 2024 I’ve listened to Gary since 1968 love him 🇬🇧👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brings back good memories ,pure, wholesome, no curse words, great group i listened to in 68-72 in jr. and Sr. Highschool.😊 better groups back then than the shit on today .
@@KellysClassics this and "hey jude" are the best live performances I've ever seen posted on youtube, thats my veredict at the moment, don't know if I'll find another videos like this...

Boyhood memories growing up in Ireland, Absolutely brilliant, in spite of the censorship to keep CBS officials happy. It's eternal tunes like these that make us realize how luck we were back in the day.
Never been to Hungary but I'm sure it's a different life than Moose Jaw,Saskatchewan.Grew up w great 60s music & Ed Sullivan show.We have no snow here.Extremely rare.🇨🇦
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
I worked with his mother Leona in a music store. While on a bus trip to see an organ concert in L.A., I asked if she had the CD of his greatest hits? She did not. We stopped, I dashed into a record store, bought it and had it gift wrapped. The joy and tears were priceless. Fond memories!
@@rascal211 I thought the same thing, or why didn’t he give her one? I did ask, but she just hadn’t thought of it. I have a nice album that friends nor family really care about. Funny world.

Wow beautiful times, innocent times, love must have been so romantic! My mom and dad had that awesome love affair! My dad listened to this music even though I was not born yet! I grew up listening to his music and he had all kinds of records. I will never forget his music and his coffee at 4 pm every day, me a hot chocolate with milk sitting and watching him enjoy his music! He was the same kind of guy as the dad in the movie Moonstruck listening to Vickie Carr lol but his was all of these awesome ballads!!
I'm so sorry you lost your husband.We have lost loved ones to cancer too & it never gets easier.To take a 44 beautiful daughter in law who had everything going for her is not fair in the least.There is or will be a cure for cancer but probably not in our lifetime.I'm 65 & live in Regina,Saskatchewan.I remember this performance when I was 9 in 1968.We brought the 45s the next day.🇨🇦
Gary Puckett had a great voice, he and the Union Gap were absolutely amazing, and greatly. I enjoyed them a lot. And he went solo and was as great as ever. I have his songs on my IPhone to listen to anytime I want and anywhere I go. This type of music never goes old, and it is still played.

Anyways, I still love my Motown sound's and of course theeeee mini skirts and the car , which was a tad awkward at times if you know what I mean. 😍
@@jillosier9353 Well said. At 15 I was no saint and it upsets me girls today are told to play victim. What happened to take responsibility? My Mum said if you make a mistake you regret later just learn from it and I did. Not once did I point any fingers.
Man, this takes me straight back to my youth and having crushes on so many of the great singers back then. Today's music isn't even in the same category. Not even close.
I am 65 and back then my grandparents say the same thing about our music it was trash , so now it’s the youth music and they gonna say the thing in fifty year .
My first serious love was back in 1967, I was 18 he was 30, a no no back then and probably still is in 2024. He was to this day the love of my life and this was our favourite song for many years, word for word is so correct 🇬🇷❤️🇦🇺
I was an 18 year old Senior @ Paramount H. S. I was driving a 1963 VW bug with a bad ass 8 track tape player and Gary Puckett was always playing. Music from the 60's still the best.
OMG, I so remember this fantastic group. Brings me back to me teenage years. Old lady now, 73 but still appreciate the music of my youth...❤❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing. ❤💚🙏🏻💚
You sure can't Gabriel.Born the day music died feb 3,1959,so I got to experience so much great music through the 60s.We had 100's of albums & 45s.I still remember the smell when you sliced open a brand new lp record w the cool covers on them.🇨🇦
What a Great song.... and yes...when I was a young teenager...(17)...now 61.. I fell in love with a a girl who was 15... pure honest feeling's....sadly...This song you will never listen to any radio station because of pc
I love your comment,only cause,it happened to me...dating a beautiful 'blessed' woman in 1977 who said she was 18.She looked that age & could passed for 21.I was 19....i did let her drive my car once but thank goodness her mom accidently blurted out her age in conversation.That put an end to that pretty quick....🇨🇦
Yes.That's why I started collecting these videos 45 years ago.Most songs bring a smile knowing how life was for my brother & I in Moose Jaw when they were brand new.
I watch the Ed Sullivan show so many times and watch this particular show when it came on I was 12 years old I had a crush on this group Gary Puckett and the Union Gap
Camp Pendleton, yes 😿 my only son, a Marine~graduated from boot camp there. He was WIA in Afghanistan “operation enduring freedom” infantry and is a bad ass with a ♥️ of gold. I’m so thankful he made it back home to me. Alive 🫶☮️
Union Gap, they had a wonderful sound, and Gary was superb as lead singer. I was a senior at University of Georgia at this time in '68. Wonderful memories, for sure!
This group was on a lot of little transistor radios during Vietnam. i was a medical specialist during this time. A lot rattles around that will never leave you. May God hold our boys that never came home close and let them hear all the music they loved!
I had such a big crush on him at15! Never saw him in person til 2011 (I think) then again two years later at Epcot in Disney World. He sounded exactly the same! And looked great! He told the story of how Elvis saw him & said “ Now that boy can sing!” He was so flattered!
Ive seen Gary perform recently in UK and its just like it was back in the day, I'm 73 and was taken back to the 70s in the instant he came on stage. Brilliant times!!!!!
What a voice
Gary lived three doors down from us in San Diego....we would walk down and listen to them practice in his garage. Millwood Rd. SD. My mom and his stayed friends till they passed. Choir boy hit the big time.
Killer voice.
So cool.I love stories like this.👍🇨🇦
That’s awesome!
Classic songs of the period that revolutionized music. Songs had special meanings .
Thanks for sharing!! Really dig these stories!!❤❤

Oh how spoiled we were, talent was so abundant back then.
Soooo true. I miss it.
No kidding about talent.I hear cars go by our house w nothing but boom boom coming from cars.I hate the music my 16 yr old grand daughter listens too.Smutty rap music,& I mean smutty.Not sure how her dad let's her listen to it.🇨🇦
His songs were so great and complicated to sing nobody in their right minds sing Gary Puckett in karaoke.
Yes, we had the best and diversified singers and bands. Feel blessed to enjoy them then, and still do today.
I agree!
I'd forgotten how good he was. Diction, resonance, head tone. A real singer.
Yes, I never saw him sing live. He's very, very good.
Incredible talent 🎉
A time when you could understand the words instead of nowadays
Wonderful l always love the oldies songs what a magnificent voice since at school l have been enjoying and listening to his music
Great singer. Good breath control.
He still has one of the best male voices of all times.
But I read that he really didn't like power ballads, even though all their hits were power ballads.
I was 15 when this hit the charts . I am 70 now and I still think he's bloody lovely !!!❤❤
Right there with you just turned 70 and this brings back growing up with these songs❤👍👍⬆️
I’m right behind you lol
Me too 70
I’m 71 and these songs bring back some wonderful memories!❤️❤️🎶

That’s cool!! The IDEs of March played at the Catholic high school when I was growing up! Around 1970
We had John Fred and the Playboys
I'll be 73 in a month....I can relate...
Awesome, you were very lucky to have the privilege of seeing Gary and the guys live at your school. I was 14 in 1968 and remember them well
No auto tune, no smoke and mirrors, just singing live.

Absolute incredible harmony, beauty AND voice!long ago but never forgotten. Sad to compare with nowadays

It certainly is better than the Boom boom I hear from cars going by.Thanks for the comment.✌️🇨🇦
But not in these 2 versions as Sullivan execs had a couple verses changed and 1 verse removed.
Amen I agree
60s 70s and 80s there has been no greater period in music❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We know younger people now that wished they lived thru that time like we did.There's no music like we had in the wonderful 60s.✌️🇨🇦
Totally agree!!
❤ very true ❤
Ain’t that the truth…….
I was about 18 when this song was in the charts it is a lot better than music of today
I was 9 in 68 but no matter...this music will outlast a lot of today's forgettable crap & rap...ugggghhh🤮✌️🇨🇦

The first time I heard Gary Puckett, I was hooked. This is the first time I heard him live, and I swear he sounds even better live!
Just added a couple Gary live w a few more to edit & convert audio..👍🇨🇦

No matter what order,nothing will ever beat the music from the 60s.No one will remember a lot of today's music 50 years from now.
Much of today’s music is a load of crap; because this is no longer a creative era for rock music as it was in the 60’s through the 80’s.
All I can say is , I feel fortunate to have been 13 years old on my birthday of June 1964 . Those were the best teenage years for music , ever .

I'm glad I finally got a great copy of Young Girl.All others on YT are pretty crappy & old looking.
I’ve seen him 7 times live in Florida
MY MOM LOVED HIS UNIQUE VOICE WHEN SHE WAS WITH US❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was an 18 year old Senior @ Paramount H. S. I was driving a 1963 VW bug with a bad ass 8 track tape player and Gary Puckett was always playing. Music from the 60's still the best.
Wow! I remember this song so well. I was only 13 and thought I knew what life was about. Had my heart broke many times! So long ago!
I was 9 when this came on our TV in 1968 in Moose Jaw.Loved both songs when I heard them on the radio,we bought both 45's.
OMG, I so remember this fantastic group. Brings me back to me teenage years. Old lady now, 73 but still appreciate the music of my youth...❤❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing. ❤💚🙏🏻💚
Hermosa melodia ❤saludos desde veracruz mexico 🇲🇽
Awesome walking down memory lane as a preteen. I love many of his songs....👣🎧
i was only 13 and 67/68 was the best time beautiful songs ,it was my first 45 tours🥰🥰🥰🥰love Gary Puckett &the union Gap!kisses from FRANCE💋💋💋💋💋
Hear his wonderful clear voice and he was singing live absolutely brilliant music is crap today day
Agree.
Music back in the day was so awesome!
You cannot beat 60s and early 80s music.
Oh,oh,...good ol' memories of my happiest by gone days!!Awesome group!!!😊😊😊❤❤❤
Lady Willpower, what a wonderful sensual, sexy song and Gary’s voice so melodic and smooth. ❤❤❤ Can’t beat these songs and era.
You sure can't Gabriel.Born the day music died feb 3,1959,so I got to experience so much great music through the 60s.We had 100's of albums & 45s.I still remember the smell when you sliced open a brand new lp record w the cool covers on them.🇨🇦
Top 5 Greatest Singers
i was around when this magnificent music was never being equalled or bettered for a very long
So was i; what an absolute honour to be there at this time in history.
so happy for you and i and everyone else there will never be another sixties
the song "young girl" is never more dear to me than now....
What a Great song.... and yes...when I was a young teenager...(17)...now 61.. I fell in love with a a girl who was 15... pure honest feeling's....sadly...This song you will never listen to any radio station because of pc
I love your comment,only cause,it happened to me...dating a beautiful 'blessed' woman in 1977 who said she was 18.She looked that age & could passed for 21.I was 19....i did let her drive my car once but thank goodness her mom accidently blurted out her age in conversation.That put an end to that pretty quick....🇨🇦
Listening in December 3, 2024. I was in summer camp when this came on jukebox for the 1st.
I was 9 when this came on our TV in Moose Jaw,Sask.🇨🇦
This was AM gold when I was a kid. Good times and great memories.
Sure was when times were so different than they are today.Growing up in Moose Jaw in the 60s was thee best w tons of kids on our block.
Isn't it strange that a song will bring you back to a place and time
Yes.That's why I started collecting these videos 45 years ago.Most songs bring a smile knowing how life was for my brother & I in Moose Jaw when they were brand new.
I watch the Ed Sullivan show so many times and watch this particular show when it came on I was 12 years old I had a crush on this group Gary Puckett and the Union Gap
Another great song by a great singer and his band. 55 years later and it's still as fresh and new as it was in 1968.
San Diego in 1968. So many brave young men passed through there.
Camp Pendleton, yes 😿 my only son, a Marine~graduated from boot camp there. He was WIA in Afghanistan “operation enduring freedom” infantry and is a bad ass with a ♥️ of gold. I’m so thankful he made it back home to me. Alive 🫶☮️
I have seen him live 3 times over the past 4 years and he is still great.
Wonderful music!
Them and Jay and the Americans!
Another great band, the Drummer and Bass player, wow, I was only 9 in 1968.
I was 9 too when we watched this live in 1968,like we did every sunday at 8pm.👍🇨🇦
Hey, I was 9 y/o also in 1968!! ☺️
I was born in 68.❤
I just found a 1968 live vocals version of Woman woman.Will work on that today.
Paul Wheatbread was the drummer, and I believe it was Kerry Chater on bass.
Look kids they’re playing live….wow! 🥳😎👍🏻
Union Gap, they had a wonderful sound, and Gary was superb as lead singer. I was a senior at University of Georgia at this time in '68. Wonderful memories, for sure!
Didnt know it till later,but this was the first guy i fell for.wondered why i cried everytime i heard him sing
This group was on a lot of little transistor radios during Vietnam. i was a medical specialist during this time. A lot rattles around that will never leave you. May God hold our boys that never came home close and let them hear all the music they loved!
Wow.So glad you made it through that and are here w us.I was 8 in 1967.🇨🇦
The best singer of the 60's (and beyond)
Have loved GP since the 60’s. I prefer this live version of Lady, Willpower over the original radio release. It showcases his beautiful smooth voice.
Memories never have forgotten.
I had such a big crush on him at15! Never saw him in person til 2011 (I think) then again two years later at Epcot in Disney World. He sounded exactly the same! And looked great! He told the story of how Elvis saw him & said “ Now that boy can sing!” He was so flattered!
One of my favorite group. Love hear this song. ❤❤❤❤❤Tank you ❤❤❤
Still luv Gary Puckett. I was just 17, I'm now 67. 2024.
Takes me back, I always loved this song. Ache in the heart and throat.
I have always liked them! and all their music
Me too.I wouldve been 9 when we watched this live on TV in Moose Jaw on a Sunday night.✌️🇨🇦
Them and Orbison!
My parents would marry just 5 days later, May 17, 1968. I'm hoping my mom would have watched this performance live, as she loved Ed Sullivan.
Ive seen Gary perform recently in UK and its just like it was back in the day, I'm 73 and was taken back to the 70s in the instant he came on stage. Brilliant times!!!!!
The sound track of my teen years. Makes my heart hurt .
