I wonder if The Rockin' Ramrods song 'She Lied' was meant as a disillusioned answer song, since it came out about six months after The Dave Clark Five's 'Glad All Over' hit the charts.
I was 19 in 63, I'm 80 now, bought this record, the Sixties was the decade for everything. Radio Caroline, Concorde, man on the moon, Jim Clark was world champion, . What a time to be young.!
I was a merseybeats fan in the 60’s and the good thing is they are still going today and are better than ever bringing back all of the 60’s era songs. But I recently went to see the searchers and they are just incredible 😮
Unforgettable moments... wonderful times, the sixties and seventies... quality music... times when everything was much more relaxed. Big contrast to today's society. Dave Clark Five... pure youth sentiment...!
Saw them at Roundhay Park in Leeds 1964. 11 years old. We climbed over the fence. My parents had no idea where I was. Got a few autographs later stolen. What a fab era to grow up in.
I was in America in 1963 had thick british accent....Started band known as Oak Cliff Beats in 1963....American girls tore our suits up, messed our hair up, ripped our clothing, we had police protection, never forget it !!! We did this number on several appearances, we did Del Shannons version of From Me To You, a number written by John Lennon of the Beatles, I played Harmonica on this one, we were over run on stage with damage to our amps from American females....
RIP Mike. Thank you for writing this great song and for that great voice of yours that surely made us "Glad All Over". This song of yours is what put the Dave Clark Five on the map here in the USA and many other countries. Thank you Mike.
I had the pleasure of meeting this man and his family when he lived in Kissimmee Florida I rebuilt a motor in a van for him got to know him and his family well I lost contact with his family after he passed if his family's sees this get a hold of me miss and love you guys
It's great, but it was originally recorded by Chris Kenner, written by Kenner and the incomparable Allen Toussaint. Kenner's version reached #2 in 1961 and was a terrific track, just not Mike Smith.
I worked with Bobby Graham for about eighteen months on a musical - he was producer, and I was Production Assistant and Assistant MD. This was back in 1975/6, and we talked (a lot!) about Bobby's past. He was adamant that he played on virtually every one of the Dave Clark recordings: he always said that Dave Clark was a good business manager, but not so good on drums. At the London Palladium live performances, Dave Clark had pads on his drums so that he could seem to be playing them, but Bobby was actually set up backstage and playing. For several performances, the bass was also played by a session guy offstage. But neither Bobby nor the bass player were visually as acceptable for the on-stage image that Dave Clark wanted to project (shades of the early "boy bands"??), and anyway, Bobby was earning more with regular work as a session drummer than he would have earned in an ephemeral band. He'd already been there with Joe Brown, and didn't want to go back to that way of life. Mum Neate (his mother) confirmed this to me. She was always proud of what Bobby did, but also very blunt about his successes and failures! Bobby was an absolute mine of information and gossip about the 60s music scene - he had been in it from the start, until he lost it all when he worked with Philips in Holland and got into the wrong company. Fortunately he pulled through and 'dried out' by the early 70s. Interesting times!
I was standing outside the stage entrance after the performance at the Ed Sullivan theater when they came to NYC. I landed up jumping on top of their limousine as they were leaving the theater. A brave NYC pulled me off the car! I was only 13 but so excited about seeing them!
Well youngsters today can watch and listen to this stuff on on YT but do they? It frustrates me how radio presenters will rave over a 60s number then play some tuneless, tedious crap and say it's also brilliant.
AND NOW....ON OUR STAGE TONIGHT...THE DAVE CLARK FIVE! ! ! ! ! Nobody did it like THEY DID. Tom Hanks' introduction of the DC5 into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame summed it ALL UP. Thank YOU Dave Clark, Mike Smith, Rick Huxley, Lenny Davidson and Denis Payton. The TOTTENHAM SOUND! It will live forever!
Loved these guys...i remember dancing with abandon with my BFF in our bedrooms when we were 13 or so....she died 9 years ago so this is for you Dalis T.
I was 15 in 1964 when we got invaded by the British again, and The Dave Clark Five were right up there with the Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Hermits, and the rest of the top rock groups from across the pond.
I was 8 when The Beatles and The DC5 first appeared on Ed Sullivan's show. I remember that the "greasers" in my neighborhood liked the DC 5 because they didn't have "long" hair like The Beatles. I loved the British Invasion bands, and so did all my friends
i was18 years old when this fine classic came out ,, now im 75 ,,,,,, i still get cold chills when i hear music from the 69s era ,,,what a beno we had ,,clothes hair styles , shoes makeup jobs we were spoil rotten it was a fine time to live xxx
@@jamesbunch9964 Me too James ' A Momentous era to grow up and luvly memories of my parents too. Pop music Fashion T.V .This group were Tops for me also liked The Searches and Elvis Presley plus Billie jo Spears and Lynn Anderson plus Don Williams n Kenny Rodgers too. Kind regards Glynn n greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🤝🕊🕊🕊
At the time I was a 14 years old and about to be exposed to the greatest period in pop music the world has ever seen and unfortunately never to be repeated.
These guys were a HUGE part of the sound of 1960s. I was weaned on this music having been born in 1958 my first sense of the sound coming out of the radio was Dave Clark,The Beatles and The Stones. the DC5 however never got anywhere NEAR the respect they deserve for being there right at the beginning of 60s pop music.
Oh yes they did they were on Ed Sullivan 18 times. way more than the Beatles they were actually better than the Beatle in many ways and Dave Clark was a musical genius
Ray Poirier Ray I've already stated they were huge in the 1960s and their Sullivan appearances reflect that perfectly.It's their historic legacy that is being overlooked.They are not given the same respect or designation of importance as the other most influencial acts of that era and its a shame.
It's great that we were able to experience this time! Now I am 76 years old and waiting to die. I have cancer that is no longer treatable. The music of the 60s helps me a lot in my last days or weeks. Nobody knows🤔Many greetings from Germany✌There will never be such a great time again!!
I saw them years ago at the Long Beach Convention Center. Loved it. Dave the drummer was best friends of Freddie Mercury until his death. Lenny and Dave are the only ones alive now. I remember them arriving 1963...I LOVED THE 60S
We where the opening band for The Dave Clark 5 at a Boston Garden concert in 1966. We where called The Kastawys and we were from Boston. Mike and all the guy's in the band where gentlemen in every respect of the word. We had a wonderful and memorable night entertaining the 27,000 or so fans. Truly the good old days.
@@QueenFan12 No but I have some stuff when some of us formed another band in 2012.We changed our name to the Clock Work Orange Band. I am Charles Garabedian, th-cam.com/video/L2lT9tmtss4/w-d-xo.html
OH, they have the smiles of folks having their dreams come true! It's great to have this music in my soul and know all the words without even thinking about them.
in the sixties me and my dear departed sister climbed on to the 'wash house' roof every Sunday with trusty transistor radio and listened to the top10 hits was Jimmy Clitheroe and the Archers, Dixon of dock green, Z Cars, Ena Sharples....i feel fortunate to relive happy connections to an era that lived and let lived
Just woke up 1 45am had this tune in my head so looked it up on TH-cam .I was 9years old when I first heard DC5 how about that crazy. memories going to school in the sixties Kirkby near Liverpool north west England .
I was 7 Ken and my 2 aunts had this 45 record plus many more from this era. I was around them a lot, seeing they were my dads 2 sisters and they played this song quite a lot. I fell in love with this music.The Honeycombs record Have I The Right and this one made you want to get up and dance or, stomp your feet
One of those great British groups of the sixties of last Century. I always liked to hear their songs since I first heard them. The lyrics are well pronounced and easy to understand. And the lyrics have meaning too. One of my favorites through the years.
@@jallan9578 They were the best. I laugh when I hear kids saying the 80s, 90s or anytime after were the best lol. I guess you had to be there at that age. 🤔
The bottom fell out for these guys early. My friend Mike and I saw them twice. They were great both times. The 1st time the hall was packed and you would have thought the Beatles were playing with the screaming teen girls and the works. A year later the place was so rmpty we walked up and sat in the second row....RIP Mike
I cant remember what I had for breakfast this morning but I sure as hell can vividly remember this great song. Most of all I remembered a video of the lads blasting up a runway in E type jags, and low and behold if Big Bal turns his toes up tonight,,,,,,,,, I will have died a very happy man AMEN 🙏❤
The most underrated group of the "Invasion" People don't know or don't remember that they challenged The Beatles as the numero uno band in America back in the day. Mike Smith was a good-lookin' bugger that was one of the very best vocalists of his time and pounded on his Continental. Man, these guys ROCKED!
This takes me right back to the days when I sat glued to the wireless on a Sunday afternoon listening to Alan Freeman's Pick of the Pops. 1963 and 1964 were great years for Pop Music.
I was lucky enough to have seen them twice live in 1964 at the Tottenham royal ballroom. I Still remember this after all these years,fantastic.I was 11 at the time.
The first thing I noticed was they look like they are having fun, I listen to a lot of different music, but sometimes I see who is singing and you just can't unsee that stuff. These guys are having a good time and they look classey to boot.
Dave Clark was gorgeous. I am so happy that I lived through the “British Invasion”. All of it. Seeing The Beatles in 1964 - nothing can top that. What an experience and a memory.
Fair point, but I would also suggest Love Affair (Steve Ellis) have a claim to that title lol. Just glad we are able to enjoy (and view) this wonderful music again. TG for YT.
I will NEVER forget this song, when it came out !!! Our Baby-sitter, Cathy Malone had this very 45 (it was a promo copy - I even remember it had a pink "A" on hit side!!!) Plus other 1963 - 1964 45's !! She played it on our DECCA suitcase stereo player !!
My late dad used to play this when I were a kid I hated it, as a adult I can now understand his taste in music also brings memories of him sitting in the arm chair playing air drums and smiling like a Cheshire cat.
Sounds so much like the Beatles I had to look it up to make sure it wasn’t. Heard of the Dave Clark Five before as they were popular during the British Invasion but now I have a new found respect for them. Much like the Kinks, Animals, Beatles etc.
its was great to grow up in SoCal during the British invasion sound of music.....it was the best time for New Rock n Roll sounds to hit our airwaves as a kid
I feel so fortunate to be around in the 60s.....what a brilliant era it was,never to be repeated
Oh so true. Me 76 years now and still rocking. 😊
@@hansjoachimdammer1255 I'm 73 and remember this song the day it came out as if it were yesterday.Yes indeed we really had a good time then.
Very important information - My dad went to school with Dave Clark's dad
I'm 74 and still bopping to this tune!
Same here!
gilloera I'm 73 and remember when this sing came out like it was yesterday.
Me too my friend. (sometimes dancing with myself!)
@@DanHolmes-o9b :)
I'm 68 now and I was 7 when this great song came out. This song and the Honeycombs song Have I The Right made you want to get up and dance.
If this song doesn't lift your spirits and bring a smile to your face, it is so positive.
I wonder if The Rockin' Ramrods song 'She Lied' was meant as a disillusioned answer song, since it came out about six months after The Dave Clark Five's 'Glad All Over' hit the charts.
not sure that it's really spirit-lifting, but's funny
SHITE
@@so3612 I believe it's uplifting as well.
This song swept radio like wildfire.....i was 8 years old....
I was 13yrs old. Saw them in concert and unlike others they were very friendly!❤
U know it
I was 19 in 63, I'm 80 now, bought this record, the Sixties was the decade for everything. Radio Caroline, Concorde, man on the moon, Jim Clark was world champion, . What a time to be young.!
& me ,didn’t we have fun xx
The best decade ever!
I was in 1st grade when this song came out...liked it then and always will. 60's era Rock is hard to top!
The beatles too. England win world cup. Man utd win european cup etc
Yep best decade ever, wouldn't have missed it to be young now!!!
Liked em better than the Beatles when I was a kid. Still do...what a great era
I was a merseybeats fan in the 60’s and the good thing is they are still going today and are better than ever bringing back all of the 60’s era songs. But I recently went to see the searchers and they are just incredible 😮
I don't know if I really can say I liked them more than the Beatles, I just remember them more than the Beatles from the time I was a little kid.
I. Was 8 in 63. 69 now still rocking yeah ❤ age is only number ❤️
I agree with you !!!
You couldn't be more on target! 😢😮😢😮
A stealthy number though... the larger it is the smaller the remainder that is left.
I was 5, timeless
I was 13 in 63. I’m glad I lived through it all. I’m watching now at 74. I’m glad all over.❤
The 60's was the greatest decade in music history
Absolutely
The Dave Clark 5 were great. Great songs & great beat with excellent harmonies. Mike Smith had one of the best rock voices in the business.
Great songwriter as well
Unforgettable moments... wonderful times, the sixties and seventies... quality music... times when everything was much more relaxed. Big contrast to today's society. Dave Clark Five... pure youth sentiment...!
Great times
if i could, i would buy me a time machine...en adjust it to 1963....best time of my life.....
yea, 53yrs... and i was singing along from the first word
One of the best bands Ive ever seen, 1964 Spfld, Ma.
A clear memory...1963, walking home from primary school with a pal, us singing "bits & pieces" at the top of our voices...
You bloody Hooligans!😆.
So did I with my friends close to midnight!
For me in Cleveland Ohio it was 1964
J,avais 15 ans, j'ai écouté ce morceau 6heures de suite.
This music is 53 years old and people are still listening to it...That tells you a lot about it.
Make that (music) 58 yrs and still listening!
Crystal palace fans hear it every home game.....
#DataDiggerDon Says... You’re so Right!. 🤗
I still listen to Mozart and Wagner too
I think I have the album?
Saw them at Roundhay Park in Leeds 1964. 11 years old. We climbed over the fence. My parents had no idea where I was. Got a few autographs later stolen. What a fab era to grow up in.
There will never be another era like this its a one off . Great groups and great music it was just fantastic
yes itn was the best era for music. cant even understand what is sung today . a bunch of crap.
People were young then. They had fun. They weren't going around shouting racist and worrying about offending some wimp!!!
@@mariawildman1299 So True! Great comment.
Your'e right, never again, youth knew how to act, they believed in this country, respect was rampant, and MUSIC was the BEST EVER
When did Mike from Dave Clark five pass
6 million views and growing. Don't need to say anymore. Glad Dave is still with us.
I wish I had been born in 1963 or even earlier than 1963
Music wise,of course.
However,you're going to see marvels from AI that few can imagine today.
dont worry.I was born in 1950..................
I was in America in 1963 had thick british accent....Started band known as Oak Cliff Beats in 1963....American girls tore our suits up, messed our hair up, ripped our clothing, we had police protection, never forget it !!!

We need more groups like them.
Still here listening to the greatest music of all times. Over 55yrs. Ago.
60s what a decade we was so blessed
And we all benefit for years to come from the music , my 14 year old daughter loves these and It's all I listened to with my dad
Blessed and really didn’t know we were.. those were the days!!💕💕💕👍👍👍
My mum and dad used to say that. 😃
perfectly said ...loved the 60s ...memories flood back

We Americans are not aware of how popular this band was in England. They were neck and neck with the Beatles in popularity.

We knew. Equal for about a year.
The Dave Clark Five was huge in Los Angeles during the British Invasion. Not the Beatles, but a nice addition.

I cant remember what I had for breakfast this morning but I sure as hell can vividly remember this great song. Most of all I remembered a video of the lads blasting up a runway in E type jags, and low and behold if Big Bal turns his toes up tonight,,,,,,,,, I will have died a very happy man AMEN 🙏❤
who is watching this in 2024
Watching it now. And it's still brilliant
Me ❤
Me. Loved the Dave Clark 5. Saw them Saturday afternoons at Tottenham Royal many times back in the day
I am , 🙂
Me. And I put the song on the speaker in my golf cart. The guys in the group love it.
This is so "in your face" with youthful exuberance and joy! Love it!
The most underrated group of the "Invasion" People don't know or don't remember that they challenged The Beatles as the numero uno band in America back in the day. Mike Smith was a good-lookin' bugger that was one of the very best vocalists of his time and pounded on his Continental. Man, these guys ROCKED!
The zombies are that this is good zombies were better
60s...so much great music being released constantly.
It isn't just a augmented, it really does modulate!
Brilliant so lucky to been in that era music you could understand and enjoy
Also you can sing alon.
This takes me right back to the days when I sat glued to the wireless on a Sunday afternoon listening to Alan Freeman's Pick of the Pops. 1963 and 1964 were great years for Pop Music.
Hit after hit , almost every record was worth listening to. Feel sorry today’s generation putting up with what they have today.
I was lucky enough to have seen them twice live in 1964 at the Tottenham royal ballroom. I Still remember this after all these years,fantastic.I was 11 at the time.
The first thing I noticed was they look like they are having fun, I listen to a lot of different music, but sometimes I see who is singing and you just can't unsee that stuff. These guys are having a good time and they look classey to boot.
The Dave Clark Five was the most exciting song group of their time.
My Dad loved music and thank you my darling Dad for giving me the joy of so many bands 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
You are truly lucky, and I share your sentiment totally.
Linda we had such a great choice of diverse music in the 60s era ,,, What a complete beno we had lolx
One of the very first songs that have made me love good music my whole life.
Masterful , genuine , up there with the best.
1960s British music and cars, listening to the Dave Clark Five on the radio whilst driving the E-Type Jaguar, must have been magical.
🇬🇧.
It was!! ❤
Dave Clark was gorgeous. I am so happy that I lived through the “British Invasion”. All of it. Seeing The Beatles in 1964 - nothing can top that. What an experience and a memory.
Born in 53 i can remember in the early 60s the Dave Clark 5 went head to head with the Beatles for a year or two. Wow where did the music go?
I must have been like 6 or 7 years old, but it made such an impact that the influence of music has never left me. I adore them!
Love how they put together the video. Mostly the band just playing, but they have a lot of charisma. Mike looks so much like my cousin.
THE MOST UNDERESTIMATED BAND OF THE 60s
Fair point, but I would also suggest Love Affair (Steve Ellis) have a claim to that title lol. Just glad we are able to enjoy (and view) this wonderful music again. TG for YT.
agreed
Who cares now the lead singer is the goat at schooling
the beatles madam
Nita Hiltner /b2 bed property’s Woolley and Easley
Great edit! Hard to find anything by these guys live so really appreciate it!
My brother in law Nick’s favorite song. God rest his soul. We still miss you Nick. ❤
I will NEVER forget this song, when it came out !!! Our Baby-sitter, Cathy Malone had this very 45 (it was a promo copy - I even remember it had a pink "A" on hit side!!!) Plus other 1963 - 1964 45's !! She played it on our DECCA suitcase stereo player !!
This my favorite DC Five song. One of the best groups to come out of Britain!
One of the most underrated bands in the 60s
One of the best songs of the era. Love the video and great energy. Know every word and love to dance to this song. Love you Dave Clark 5. You Rock!!
Here july 2023, still loving this song.❤
My late dad used to play this when I were a kid I hated it, as a adult I can now understand his taste in music also brings memories of him sitting in the arm chair playing air drums and smiling like a Cheshire cat.
Sounds so much like the Beatles I had to look it up to make sure it wasn’t. Heard of the Dave Clark Five before as they were popular during the British Invasion but now I have a new found respect for them. Much like the Kinks, Animals, Beatles etc.
You immediately are taken Up and kept up through the whole song. Great energy and vocals, beat. Makes you " Glad all over".
I once read an interview of John Lennon and he was asked his opinion of the DC5. He said that they had better vocals than The Beatles.
@@bjbell52 I wonder how he felt about Harley Davidsons?
its was great to grow up in SoCal during the British invasion sound of music.....it was the best time for New Rock n Roll sounds to hit our airwaves as a kid
Boy those were the days. Real music real artist. Wish you could find a radio station that played this stuff
