When this album came out, it was very popular and doing well on the radio. They came to Calgary and I had them over to my home for a meal before they played. Jamie is my cousin so it was great to see him doing well.
This is one of my favorite albums of all time. I've loved this album for forty years but this is the first I've ever seen a video of the group. Many thanks to the poster for taking the time to make and upload it.
Saw them live at the Commodore back in the day and swiped Jamie James ' song list off his monitor for a souvenir. Still have it as a memento of a truly great show.
In the early 80's I saw these guys at Chope's, a true old school roadhouse in La Union, NM. The guys rocked the place and were super cool to talk with!
Ganarly - You did a great job with this video. I saw that other version you mentioned. It was crap. I remember this song from the radio in the summer of 1980. Great song for cruising through Ocean City with the top down.
Saw them play years ago, maybe a year or so after their album came out. It was a great show in a smaller place in Georgetown, D.C. - Was it Desperado's on M Street? Fun night.

One hit wonder. A big one. They didnt do a lot, besides. But this tune,comes together with a perfect musical force and rhythm. To please the.listener..
@@thomasdonovan4855 I don’t know? I tried listening to the other songs. By the bees. The other tunes? They just didn’t appeal to me. In my opinion ? Their a one hit wonder band. And this song is it.
Hey, Michael, here, Kingbees bass player. Thanks for editing and posting!
It's my pleasure! This has long been a favorite song of mine and was disappointed when I couldn't really find a decent quality video of the song!
@@CrosscutFilmsSask Yeah, we broke just before the video revolution and MTV.
@@jeffweaver4350 We did a big show at the beginning of the year at the Yost theatre in Santa Ana CA, then SHUTDOWN. We'll be back when it's all clear
You have the same line up michael bass / jamie vocals guitar and the mystery drummer?

These guys were awesome... still are! I miss music like this!
My brother and I used to say when we were in our early twenties (age 65 now) " Kingbees are Gods " !

King Bees, killer song!!
Great song! Love the groove!
Used to see these guys at clubs in L.A.
They were great from beginning to end of their set!
Michael, you guys never got your due. This song is one of my favorites and i would like to have heard more from you guys
Great upbeat song!
I'm surprised that the Kingbees were not way more popular. Great sound, some really good rocking songs, charisma, handsome singer.
They have a lot of great music
What years were they touring and recording?
Many thanks to the OP for their diligent work at correcting this video and making it enjoyable to watch.
@@DeanMk1 Thank you for your kind words - it's much appreciated
I found this record in a thrift store in Tacoma, WA today. Glad I did. 😊
I danced to this song many, many times.

Like the best.nothing more
rockabilly true and natural.
Put a fiddle or steel guitar in there somewhere and you kind of nail the Bakersfield sound. Where these guys from?

They could have released four or five other songs from this album as singles. This album was loaded.

In my opinion ?
Their a one hit wonder band.
And this song is it.
Okay, My Sharona was a top hit but My Mistake wasn't?

These guys were pretty much booed off the stage at the Toledo speedway jam.
I'm not surprised Toledo haha!!
Says it all!
