- This TV performance from 1988 took place more than 10 years after the band's dissolution. Therefore, in the video, neither Tommy Reynolds, who left the band in 1972, nor Alan Dennison, who left the band in 1977, are present. Despite the band's dissolution that year, Dan Hamilton and Joe Frank Carollo continued playing in Los Angeles and surrounding areas.

@@ellen3070 ❤️🔥💕🎶Thank you for commenting, it's always nice to read from people who loved Danny ❤️
@@HJFRD .. I ❤️ Dan Hamilton
I lost my innocence to this song in the 70’s. My heart sank when I heard that Dan Hamilton (lead singer), passed away in 1994 at only 48 years old. He was such a handsome man and he had such a sexy singing voice and style. Something about his voice was hypnotic and made women feel like he was singing to them. He had writing skills also. I have no doubt that he would still be performing had he not died so young.
Rip Dan Hamilton. Your lovely voice and handsome face will always shine through when you sing.❤
@@dianaford7635 Thank you for your beautiful words, I feel the same way🌹. Danny's music and voice will live on forever and continue to captivate thousands of hearts ♥️
@@HJFRD. Agreed 👍🏻 He was certainly a beautiful man! This song alone is a masterpiece.
@ Oh yeah! I didn’t realize how handsome he really was until seeing this performance and I gotta say…wow! Gorgeous! I’m just so sorry to hear of his passing 💔
Takes me back to my HS years so good 👍
I graduated from the 8th grade that year
An actual live performance, I'm impressed, good on them.
When music was great now days they look back and will say I hear boom boom my ears are broke lol love our music❤️2025
10/10 fantastic
@@tomedwards1879 🔥🎸🙌Thanks for enjoying!
Dan Hamilton looks like a young Desi Aeneas Jr. when he was younger. I loved this group back in the days.
@@MarshaParker-t5n And in this performance, Danny was 43 years old. No doubt, he had a very youthful face, at 25-30 with his dark, wavy long hair and his beautiful sideburns, he was a dreamboat.
i have this song repeat....
Do you have two records? Sorry, I don't understand the comment.
@@HJFRD Means he play the song over and over, on repeat
Amazing song!
@@angelogabrielagnone6185 🔥🎸🎼🙌
I remember taping this song on cassette as it played on the radio station. Darn DJs always talked during the song intro and usually towards the end. Wow. That was a very long time ago. Youngsters won't have any idea what I'm talking about!
I remember very well recording cassettes, covering a tab with tape so the recording would work, and praying that the radio announcer wouldn't talk, haha... those were exciting times... and we're blessed to have lived them alongside the best music.❤
Then again they don't have the good music that meant some and sounded great
I know what you mean. I was one of those DJs but that's what we got paid to do. lol
So few of us remember that pain. Dang DJ...
What a voice and goodlooking too ❤
@@VickySwindoll In all his songs, Danny shines with his beautiful voice. But he was also an amazing composer and guitarist, almost the entire album Fallin' In Love was composed by him and his songs are symphonic with more than 20 musicians playing harmonious chords. Thank you for commenting
@@HJFRDI assume since Dan had been trained on the violin from when he was very young that he may have had some input to the strings sections on some of these songs.
@@mackmckay588 No doubt, there are three facts that support your thinking. Firstly, a 1960s newspaper article mentions that Danny also composed music for Lawrence Welk's show. Secondly, in Ronnie Rush's book - Danny's friend and roadie - Ronnie shares that Danny explained how he composed songs by thinking of each instrumental part, imagining the musicians he worked with and their unique playing styles. Lastly, someone who knew Danny commented that he could play any instrument. While not a full-fledged multi-instrumentalist, he played drums, bass, and guitar in his bands.
@@HJFRDHe was a genius! I love his songs! Love from Brazil 🇧🇷
@@soniamarangoni7238 💕🙌🎶🎸
I do remember this song from 1971 and I really liked it so much !
WOW! I've watched this performance over the decades. This song came out at a very
pivotal and growing part of my life. What feelings I sense whenever I hear any version of this song by this band. The guys' looks will always remain imbedded in my mind. I wish
Dan Hamilton had remained less involved in some of the life trends he was in touch with.
(Not a bad thing) As voice front man, he had such a good look and resonated style! How
I wish these guys could have lived more deserved recognition and success, as well as
better health and happiness for them. What a song!
Thank you for your comment!. By the way, I'd like to know what you mean by 'involved in some of the life trends he was in touch with.' Just out of curiosity, as I didn't understand the text.
To Cele @@HJFRD . Thank you for commenting. What I meant by the words you mentioned, I meant that Dan lived the trends of balancing private and profession lives, an earlier divorce, dedicated hours to all his good life interests and loves. Writers spend so much time thinking, creating and composing. Different levels of stress and fatigue. Plus he put up with claims about one of his hit creations, that his wife later won a court decision on. He was a focused person and entertainer. The so called 'trends' I hastily mentioned...as life has trends for different paths of life. Dan Hamilton should have been graced with a longer and more rewarding life....had it not been for his blood disease.
@@jimb8830 Thank you for your response; I greatly appreciate your input. I still don't fully understand how you connect all these events with each other and with his work environment. I don't believe they have any connection. While it's true that Dan went through two divorces, they don't necessarily relate to his work environment or a celebrity lifestyle trend, unless you were there with him to confirm it. Moreover, his relationships were relatively long, and maybe it was just bad luck when it came to cohabiting. Not everyone finds the right person on their first attempt. Additionally, Danny had a business and friendship relationship with the mother of his daughter; he did everything to ensure she received royalties from his music to secure his daughter's future. His last marriage lasted Dan's entire life. His last wife, with whom he lived from the age of 31, and they had been friends before, always accompanied him at his shows, and according to those who knew them well, they had a good marriage. The legal dispute over the rights to his music happened after Danny's passing, so he didn't experience it. While stress could have affected him, it's somewhat arbitrary because many people deal with stress while striving to do their best, and not everyone experiences physical illness as a result. I don't believe he should have stopped doing what he loved because of it. Probably his decision to step away from touring, screens, and that entire environment was a good choice to spend his adulthood with his family and pursue a quieter job related to music and composition. Unfortunately for us, but perhaps fortunately for him, although we wished to see him more on the big stages and hear more of his vinyl records. When he finally wanted to return to the big music leagues, he had the misfortune of developing a rare, one-in-a-million disease. It was simply bad luck.
I can't be certain because his life was very private, but precisely because of that, I can say he was quite distant from the fame scene. His family and acquaintances remember him as a very family-oriented person who enjoyed family gatherings, home life, and was reserved. He didn't seek recognition and always went unnoticed, even in the Hollywood scene.
@@HJFRD Hi. Yes, I agree on his personality traits and that he had been dealt such a bad luck health circumstance.
Thanks for the deeper details.
@@jimb8830 Thank you!, and of course, the world of success in those years required a great effort, and the consequences were inevitable. But something that caught my attention about Danny are all the opinions of his close ones about his very discreet personality, almost anti-fame. There is no person who doesn't agree on their opinion about Danny's humility as a person. Even his friend and roadie Ronnie Rush emphasizes this in various anecdotes from his book. That's why I find it admirable on his part that success hasn't changed his human values and life philosophy.
This is the video I've been looking for. This song is only one of two songs that made It to #1 on my personal charts ... The other was "I got stung" by Elvis Presley.
I mean, only one of two songs that made it to #1 on my personal charts, and repeated the success later.
@@gordsexton6781
Thank you for your comment, there's no doubt it's a great song. In a 1971 interview with Joe Frank, he said that Don't Pull Your Love definitely filled a musical void of that time. Initially, Joe Frank was going to be the lead voice, but when the Dunhill producer and writers Lambert and Potter heard Danny's amazing voice, they had no doubt it would be a guaranteed success. On the same day they heard the band, they showed them the demo of the song, and the guys recorded the song with their instruments. A week later, they recorded the string and wind ensembles and joined them to the tape.
I meant, it was only one of two songs that hit #1 on my personal charts, then got back to #1 years later. ..I have over 100 songs that hit #1 on my charts, what the hey.
Love this song❤
Great song .....
@@barryh.4220 🙌🎶🎸🔥
Love that this is live, and they're not lip syncing to the studio track....it's obvious with Dan's vocals
that it's live....very cool
@@classrockin Actually, on that show, they did have to do lip sync, but I modified the audio they used and replaced it with the live version from Danny's 80s performances. The truth is, they didn't want to lip sync, but Solid Gold required it. So, I swapped the audio to make it sound like their live version.
@@classrockin This is a completely live performance from 1975. Unfortunately, I didn't live during that era, but several people who saw the band live claim they sounded just as good or even better than on their records, and Danny's voice was breathtaking.

One of the most tightly composed pop/country songs ever written
According to Joe Frank, when he, Danny, and Tommy were at ABC Dunhill recording some demos, Joe had been the lead vocalist up to that point since the formation of The T-Bones. At one point, the demo of "Don't Pull Your Love" started playing, then again, and a third time. The guys realized it was an invitation to play the song. It was easy for them to pick up the melody, and they began to play it. The song had been offered to The Grass Roots, who worked for Dunhill, but they rejected it. It was too energetic and didn't have any breaks to catch their breath. They asked Danny to perform it, and he surprised everyone with his rendition. That was the turning point for him to become the band's lead vocalist next to Joe. According to Joe Frank, every time Danny performed the song, he ended up very exhausted. Joe said it was a really complicated song (he used a less polite word, haha). I guess that's a big reason why covers of this song don't sound pleasant to the ears at all. Danny left his definitive vocal mark on this musical composition by Lambert and Potter. Thanks to the guys, this beautiful song could see the light; it just needed someone who could tame it 😁
It definitely gases me out with the quick change from chorus to verses and there are many quick chord changes. But I love it. And the production is so top notch, some people still think it’s Elvis.
@@Adkb123 I guess it's a huge compliment for Danny Hamilton. I even read many people who thought he was Elvis when they were young and thought, "This is the best Elvis song." Considering the excellent production Elvis had with all the Wrecking Crew session musicians playing for him, I think this puts Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds in an excellent musical position because they not only sang, Danny played rhythm and lead guitar, Joe Frank played bass, and Tommy played various percussion instruments, Virgil Weber played the keyboard, and Joe Correro played drums, while Sid Sharp handled the entire orchestra. Additionally, the three guys helped arrange the entire album along with Steve Barri. They knew a lot about recording from all their years in the recording studios of the 60s.
The good ole days.
Thank you! Love it❤
You're welcome 😊❤
Thanks for putting names to the faces.
Actually, the original video isn't mine, but I'm very thankful to the person who first uploaded it to the internet. I edited it with different audio because during the performance they had to lip-sync to the original song, as the guest musicians didn't belong to the band, which had disbanded 10 years earlier. The only musicians from the original band in this video are Dan Hamilton (guitar and vocals) and Joe Frank Carollo (bass). Although Virgil was on the first album as a session musician.
Thanks for commenting! 🙌🎵🎶
Wow, que bien se esucha este audio.
Minha mãe gostava muito dessa música Sdds dela ( in memorian)❤❤❤❤

some kind of bast band🎉
these all greet music is that band

Great post. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤
I somehow survived the death of FM rock and 8 track tapes and a 75 Gran Torino. Guess you tube music is the best I can hope for. Will try to not misbehave and will try to keep my mouth shut. 😊
It's still possible to enjoy beautiful analog music. I have my turntable and all the records from my favorite band in excellent condition; it's another world, with unmatched quality and sensations. TH-cam and the digital era will never be the best, but at least it serves to listen to music outside of home 😋🙌👍. Thanks for commenting ❤️
Beautiful song played it over an over. WIsh I new you sang it 😂❤
Thank you for the comment. The singer is Danny Hamilton 💕
Anthony Cumia is killing it on the keyboard.
@@thebadtraveler The one on keyboards is Virgil Weber. He, Tommy Reynolds, and Larry Knetchel handled the keyboards and Piano on the album recording.
@@HJFRD The joke is that he looks an awful lot like Anthony from Opie and Anthony.
@@thebadtraveler 😅😂🙌
i bileve in all ❤
Some people misunderstand when people say people that know how to listen to music and know it's not just that about like comparing them to Elvis or somebody but you see Elvis music didn't make people happy it sounded good but it wasn't something to make everybody happy just when you saw him this guy when he played it made people Happy the music and the way
That's your opinion not everyone's. Elvis music made many people happy.
@@TheJpep2424 Elvis Presley was just a hound dog copying everybody everybody else's music
@@TheJpep2424Without a doubt, everyone has their own musical tastes. One thing I deeply admire about Danny Hamilton is that he achieved everything through hard work and against the obstacles of the industry. He was a virtuoso guitarist who first had to make a name for himself among the greats as a guitarist, then he managed to establish himself as a band leader and lead vocalist with the success of this song and album, and finally, he also became recognized as an excellent composer by creating the album "Fallin' in Love." He was a complete and incredible musician who never received the necessary support from the industry, probably because he knew the ins and outs from his early work with The Ventures and producer Joe Saraceno. Danny understood record production; he always arranged all of his albums, which made him less manipulable by the industry and therefore not the best candidate.❤
@@HJFRD Thanks for the info. Had incredible hooks, musical production (strings, etc.) and great vocals on the easily-listenable-on-repeat "Falling in Love"!
@@thebordernow That's right! There's an interesting anecdote about the recording of "Fallin' in Love," as told by Judd Hamilton, Dan's brother. Despite the producers giving the okay to send the finished recording to the radios, Dan, who composed the song, wasn't happy with the result. Since the record label wouldn't pay for further recording sessions, Dan decided to privately fund the studio time, despite the financial strain it would entail. He re-recorded everything without executive intervention, and after recording all night, he was satisfied with the perfected version. That's the version that made it to all the radios, and even today, we can replay it countless times without tiring of the beautiful melody.🎶🎸🎵💞🌺
because" i feel won music!
I think that this is the K-Tel re-recorded version, but it stills sound great !!!
Yes! Indeed it is. It's the re-recording they did in the late '70s, and then in the '80s, they always played this version. I love it too. 💕🎶🎸
we are also was these love then
thougher!
❤❤❤❤
because I win love❤！
Dan Hamilton in this video looks like Johny Cash and Elvis mixed into one.
@@chadgilmore5046
He was a very handsome man, but unlike Elvis and Cash, I think Danny wasn't a showman and didn't want to be the frontman of his band. He always seemed a bit reserved in his performances. In fact, in his tour shows and in many of the band's photos, Danny's position was always to the side with his guitar. On TV shows, as the lead vocalist, he always had to be in the middle and in the spotlight, and that seemed to make him more nervous. I think he had the soul of a guitarist, but his amazing voice put him at the forefront. However, according to his own words, in the band everyone was equally important, and normally Joe Frank was the frontman in their shows. Maybe his reserved and low-key personality was the reason he couldn't face a solo music career, despite trying twice. He preferred to walk side by side with Joe Frank until his final years.
And he was a virtuoso guitarist. It's a shame there aren't more videos of live shows, since Danny would play amazing guitar solos during his performances. His skill on both rhythm and lead guitar was admirable." The Ventures" met Danny at a dinner party when Danny was just 12 years old, and they were amazed by how he played the guitar, despite being self-taught, although he had taken violin lessons since he was 5 years old.
This was a this guy left early and let me tell you something I have a feeling they put them away because he was going to be a competition for all those guys that came out already Elvis and all these people he's his music is beautiful it just makes you feel happy and good there's some musicians from that era that that's what it makes you feel people don't understand it makes you feel happy if you have if you have any feelings left
I've really listened to many musicians from those years, even the most underrated ones. Undoubtedly, there must still be bands and musicians that I'm missing out on and would love to discover. But I must say, Dan had a unique talent. He made real music; he wasn't a showman, didn't seek the spotlight. He wanted to play music and had the gift to create the best music, and undoubtedly, he did. There must be so much music he made, so much art that we won't be able to access. I believe the best music in history is the one that was never recorded. Blessed are those who could live close to these great musicians and hear their magic every day. Perhaps they don't realize they were part of something incredible. We can only take and enjoy what they left us as a gift. I appreciate the great effort they made to record their albums because, without it, I wouldn't have enjoyed something so beautiful and unique in this short journey through life.❤🎶
The music on this performance must have been pre-recorded as I observed the drummer doesn't match the drumming that the pre-recorded music does. The drummer doesn't match the drumming fills that are being done. Cannot tell if the vocal was also pre-recorded or was live.
@@mackmckay588 As the video title says, the images are from the Solid Gold program in 1988, while the audio is from a re-recording of the song made in the 80s. Unfortunately, live performances were not allowed on that TV show because there was no time to rehearse and the musicians were assigned by the program and not by the band. The only band members in the video are Danny Hamilton and Joe Frank Carollo. However, I have heard an audio of them live from the same era and it sounds exactly the same, only it was recorded with a homemade cassette player and you can hear a lot of noise from the audience. I think I can upload the audio to the channel.
@@mackmckay588 This audio is from a live show by Dan Hamilton and Joe Frank Carollo in December 1989. The show was recorded by the keyboardist who worked with them that year, as a keepsake for himself. He recorded a few songs with a homemade cassette recorder and then, after more than 20 years, digitized the cassettes and uploaded the audio to TH-cam. Unfortunately, the audio quality is very low and there's a lot of background noise from the crowd. Still, you can hear Danny's incredible voice and all the noise makes it feel like we're right there listening to the live show, which is why I love these old recordings so much.

Thanks for the clarification. Also thank you for capturing all of these recordings and videos of Dan Hamilton. These songs were popular during my high school years and I got interested recently because of Dan being from Washington State and I also have learned that several of his siblings live near where I live on the western side of Washington. Of course they are all older now just like Dan would have been now.
@@mackmckay588 The gratitude is mine for contributing with your comments on the videos. I'm thrilled to know you live near Danny's family; I know his only daughter, Danielle, resides in Washington with her two grandchildren, Jared and Jacob. I'm also aware that Judd Hamilton, Danny's brother, who played with Danny in The T-Bones in the 60s and was his producer during those years, as well as an actor and musician, currently lives in Seattle with his family. I've also virtually befriended one of Danny's friends, who frequently visits Danny's resting place in Spokane - a beautiful park-like cemetery with deer, lush greenery, and stunning views. Danny truly deserved a long life filled with more music; his voice remained astonishing even months before his passing, when he recorded his final song "Santa Monica Nights" in just one take, despite his pain and immobility. He would have been a legend had he remained alive.
They were on in 1988? The song came out in 1971.
Yes, the song was a hit in 1971 when the first album was released. Unfortunately, there are no live concert videos of the band during those years. In this case, it's the performance they did in 1988 for the TV show Solid Gold (Since "Don't Pull Your Love" went gold). By that time, the band had already disbanded since 1977. However, Danny and Joe Frank continued to play together as Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds throughout the 1980s in local shows in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and the surrounding areas. Danny and Joe Frank appeared on the TV show accompanied by some well-known Los Angeles session musicians, with Virgil replacing Tommy and playing the keyboard.

Batman and Harley quinn the animated movie brought me here lol
@@MANEMANL I was surprised when I found out they used 'Don't Pull Your Love' for the movie. I've heard many covers, and honestly, it was good, considering it's a very challenging song to interpret. Danny recorded it in two versions; this one is a re-recording from the late 70s, whereas the original features Danny's lead vocals and harmony vocals by Tommy Reynolds, Joe Frank, and Virgil Weber. I think it'll be many years before someone matches the interpretation of this song, both vocally and instrumentally, as Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds did live in all their shows throughout their over 20-year career.
If you enjoyed this song, I highly recommend checking out their hits 'Daisy Mae' and 'Annabella'. If you like energetic melodies, 'Going Down', 'Don't Refuse My Love', and 'Hallway Symphony' are excellent choices. And from their later album, 'Get on the Bus' is an upbeat and fun track. Later, the band achieved great success with their soft rock symphonic ballads, 'Fallin' in Love' being their number one hit, but my personal favorites are 'So Good at Lovin' You', 'Every Day Without You', 'Winners and Losers', 'Bar Room Blues', and 'Only Love'.
@@MANEMANL This is a completely live performance. Unfortunately, we don't have the tapes in HD quality.

Hermosa voz de un cantante fenomenal como tu muy pocos te recordamos con mucho cariño ❤
No Tommy??? 😕
Unfortunately, Tommy is not in this live performance; I suppose his religion prevented him from participating in this type of shows 😔.
@@HJFRD hadn't he already left before then? Or perhaps about the same time? I'd met him just about that time. I think the JW's just coincided with that time.
@@laurettabratti6638 This live video was recorded in 1988, which is 11 years after the band's last lineup parted ways for good. It's true that Tommy recorded 'Don't Pull Your Love' in 1971 but left the band in 1972. Since then, he only reunited with Danny and Joe Frank for one live show in 1992, just for one night. Unfortunately, the TV show performances from 1971 are not available online. Hopefully, someday we can locate them.
Thank you...this would be wonderful! 😉😇
