@Alan White GREAT documentary. A question re sax player Gene Barge - did he continue to play for Len Barry after he split with the Dovells? You made a great point about how that Mr Barry's music featured full orchestration rather than just 2 guitars, bass, and drum. Have you read his books? If so, please give us a review. The 1960s ~ we still had civil rights struggles and that damnable war going on. But we had some really great music to sooth our troubled souls. How luck we were to have the likes of Len Barry to provide such fine art for all of us.
I don't know about Gene Barge. Although I booked Len starting in 1966, I didn't move to Philly until 1969. I don't remember that name in the studio. His novel is out of print but his book of short stories, lyrics and poetry is available at Amazon. Personally I loved it. Len at his creative best. www.amazon.com/Prose-Cons-Len-Barry/dp/1950729060/ref=sr_1_1?crid=23OWL8JK0RQF3&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.aWwS58PrZGdhHvHlPOnyQaHenGGnfssTxcx4jW5Z3DHGjHj071QN20LucGBJIEps.VS8oVLk4dxXGCNqG3fR0YxgIg9RY0T8PFqZO9OAlbc8&dib_tag=se&keywords=len+barry+prose+and+cons&qid=1720471921&sprefix=len+barry+prose+and+cons%2Caps%2C79&sr=8-1
Wilt Chamberlain went to Overbook
I 1942 then Einstein was named “ The Jewish Hospital “
Thank You, Alan....I liked Len's song 1-2-3 but I knew little of him. Your piece has made me stop and think about him as a person and his career...Thank you ,again...
People thought they were black, The Dovells & Len Barry. Read stories where Barry said he dealt with prejudice from the black audience due to them being shocked that they were white. Len Barry/ Dovells one of the pioneers of what they called ''blue eyed soul''
This record was my favourite song from the sixties still fabulous today thanks for the memories ❤️
I graduated from high school in '65 and "123" gives a glow to the memories of that time period. Funny thing though ... I thought it was sung by a woman! The dj's always pronounced it "Lynn Barry" and I was in my 70s before I learned that the "Bristol Stomp" singer was the "123" singer and therefore a guy. Try it yourself. Listen to "123" and you'll see that it could just as easily be a woman with a sultry voice.
There were a few times on the road where, when we got to the gig, the sign said Lynn Barry. Len thought it was funny. We got paid in cash so there was no mix up with a check.
I wish I had a dollar for everytime I drove around in my Chevy convertible singing to 1 2 3! I loved the Four Tops, Tempations, Wilson Pickett, The Marvellettes and Len Barry! When I saw him on Hullabaloo I decided I was going to find him and marry him! I still play 123 on my juke box or iPhone every day! Len never knew how many fans he really had. He was a treasure.💕
Len would have loved your comment.
Thanks
1.2.3. was the first single that I ever bought. A Great Song!
Very interesting!
Poetry, we know where Daryl Hall got his influence.
I followed this link by Alan, nice stuff, and learned things about Len I didn't know. All I can say is, I grew up in the 60s, and like someone else said, a great time to be alive, at least musically. When I compare then to now, I realize how lucky I was to be dead center in the era of some of the best soul, R&B, pop, Motown, rock, etc. A very emotional musical time.
1-2-3 one of my all time favorites😀
I wonder how his x wife Elaine is doing?
Living in Florida close to her daughter. She has some health issues, but last I spoke with her she was doing OK.
@@alanwhite9389 Please tell my cousin Merle Mark's her good friend from Philly passed away. I remember her as a little boy beautiful looking. He Lit wife MiMi was her sister. The record label Marmamaduke was MiMi nickname back in the day. I do know the family well from MiMi Circle Wynnefield Heights Very classy folks. I wish her well. Thankbyou for the response. I knew Lenny parents Mr.Joe and mom Ms. BERNICE. VERY WELL.
Been a major fan since I was a little kid. Just heard "Dirty Old Man" for the first time recently. At 66, I finally found my theme song... Thanks, Len. RIP, buddy.

Len never liked that word, but I agree with you.
Learned a lot from this. Amazing talent.
He would have been bigger if those greedy bastards at Motown Records didn't hamstring him with that nonsense lawsuit. 1-2-3 sounded nothing like the song they said he copied. They put their names on the record as co-writers. Such low lifes!
Actually Motown was right. And Len never disputed it. Listen to the Supremes "Ask Any Girl" and you'll hear it. Same melody. What killed Len's string of hits was the British Invasion and guitar bands. No offense, but it had nothing to do with Motown.
Wonderful voice.
Rest in peace see you in heaven brother
Len Barry a man after my own heart great singer and creator of soulful music
Uncle Rick you were a hoot!
Alan White: Thank you for this wonderful documentry I followed Len Barry throughout my life as a crazy teenager. I lost touch with him after "1-2-3"
123 is one of my all time favourite songs😊
Len would be pleased to hear that. He loved fans of that record. On his behalf, I thank you.
Wonderful movie beautifully put together. A great tribute to the great Len Barry.
Loved him--Special Philly boy!
I didn’t know he had passed. What a uniquely awesome voice. RIP Len Barry
Incredible story. Len Barry such a huge talent & influence. RIP. And, there’s something in the water in Philly…so many legends out of that beautiful, complex city.
Thank you Alan...a respectful and informative insight into a gifted and interesting man. Still love listening to 1-2-3 and Cry Like a Baby? Have never understood the popularity of the British groups that invaded America. All my favourite singers/band were American at that time...great studios like Muscle Shoals...the talent of writers/performers for Motown. I watched an interview with Cliff Richard and was stunned to hear him say he was England's answer to Elvis Presley??
Thanks for making this! Len has not gotten the recognition he deserves.
Who was his dancers
Not sure what you mean. Hullabaloo? They came with the show.
@@alanwhite9389 were they a named dance troupe
@@stephenbuffery180 Not that I know of.
@@alanwhite9389 cheers Alan 🍻
So very well done. Videos done with heart are always better than polished industry videos. Thank you.
Loved his voice when I first heard 1 2 3, he sure was a talented person RIP Len Barry
Thanks for this biography.
Was 14 when Bristol Stomp first aired. Loved it, bought the 45, and still listen to it scratched and all.
I had no idea what a great and diversified career Mr. Barry had and this biography on his life was very interesting. Will always love his best known song; 1-2-3!👍
Such an amazing singing voice. Thank you for this great look back!
Too remind indiviuals, soul haves no colors...also blk Americans not the only indiviuals that's can sings, stopped.. saying.. former len Barry, is.corrected he's is very talented..he's haves Soul and too.. realized it..too.. buts when the British invasions, came too.. America's len Barry, career was, over.. and it changes.. every things
His performing career was over, that's true. By choice. He never wanted to form a guitar band and go on the road. Thereafter He concentrated on songwriting, book writing and record production.
Saw her m and the Dovells at Brooklyn Fox early 60s, unless I’m imagining this
It was crazy before he died I used to talk him everyday at a nursing home.He used to tell me wild a crazy stories when he first started out. I showed him a video of him on TH-cam when he in that group the Dovells. He actually, started crying and said, “wow” omg it’s amazing seeing me when I was younger. He also said he had a good life
Thank you for that.
Todays date made me think of Len Barry. 1st 2023 123
The ONE AND ONLY Len Barry.. Such a very talented man. RIP Len x
I feel a road trip to Val Shivley's, and a 'fueling stop' at Thunderbird Hoagies coming on!! I enjoyed the hell outta this, Thanks, Alan White!!!!
Thank You!
I struck it rich....still played at northern soul venues UK today.
Great!!!👍🏻
Miss my cuz so much. 💕😢
love Len Barry, bit confused by the documentary though. It seemed to suggest Len appeared with Sam Cooke after 123 was a big hit but didn't Sam Cooke die at the end of 1964?
I assume that he appeared with Sam after he left the Dovells, but before 1-2-3. In the Philadelphia and Jersey Shore areas everyone knew Len Barry and Len was a big star in that area based on his Dovells days. It was right before I met him. On that, I went with what he told me.
@@alanwhite9389 thanks for the reply. Just to be clear I wasn't disputing your facts, I was just checking my own memory re Sam Cooke. I have loved Len Barry since the 70's and think he is one of the most underrated artists of his era, thank you for the insight.
@@martinjb55 You're most welcome. Sam was a hero of Len's.
Great movie loved Len Barry and The Dovells, and in your comment above Alan, you mentioned Sam Cooke and Len gigging together around New Jersey shore, can I add a titbit, as I'm a big fan of Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Van Zandt who have both covered hits of The Dovells together and separately ' You Can't sit Down' many times live, and 'Bristol Stomp' by Stevie's band Little Steven and The Disciples of Soul, Stevie joined The Dovells late 60s and early 70s play guitar on their club circuit days especially around New York and New Jersey and Philadelphia, all available on TH-cam videos from the 70s- 2020
I love the song ain't nobody do it the way they do it sounds so sweet so good I love it
Great Music, Great Singer! 👍
I have the Bristol Stomp 45. A neighbor gave it to me when I was a child. Very good bio Alan!
Rick was such a great guy, we all miss him here in Doraville GA
