what a great band - Gary - Jimmy Karstein - Carl Radle - Tommy Tripplehorn - John West - thanks for many years of great memories guys - still have all your albums and a CD sined and autographed by Jimmy - thanks!!!!!
In the mid 60s, Gary was more popular than his father. If anything, being Jerry Lewis's son made it difficult for Gary to shake the celebrity son stigma. The problem was enhanced by Dino Martin, Desi Arnez Jr. and Billy, whose talent was marginal at best, especially when compared to Gary Lewis.
this kid was adorable with his little bubble gum songs that i've always loved. he got drafted and came home with some bad nam memories and was messed up for awhile but saw him not too long ago singing his heart out so i guess he recoved the best one can from war. God bless you gary and company, and thanks for the music. and i know i spelled recovered wrong. duh...
What ever happened to " Dino , Desi & Billy" ? They were all friends, at the same time. Gary had that great smile, and fabulous style about him, what a great mom her had to give him the love & support in His early days. He wrote everybody loves a clown as a gift to his Dad, : ) A truly genuine singer and great lyrics ! Thank you : )
Billy’s sister was married to Beach Boys Carl Wilson and has performed with The Beach Boys since the 1960’s. As well as a session musician for the band in the studio.
@@johnheinrich6907 Thank you, 🌟🧡🌟. I remember their records so very well. They were on Ed Sullivan as I recall. My oh my , what a small World. Married to “ The Beach Boy, everyone loved.. Well Done! Good for her. After all these years, how wonderful to hear they are doing very well 🌟🧡🌸💐🌺🌷🌻🌷🌺🌺🌸🌻👏✌️
My band at the time played with Gary and the Playboys New Years Eve, '84 at Sutters Mill in Granada Hills, CA. We alternated sets, so we just let them use our equipment. He could still sing real good back then, they sounded great and I was quickly reminded of how many hits they had! Some great tunes, like the one in this video. It was a great New Years Eve party and I felt super fortunate to play with them. The drummer taped his band's set list to my floor tom, which I kept for years but sadly lost over the years. Had all the hits on it.
This was one group I really liked to hear in those days and still do, because of the remembrances hearing them furnishes me. Good song and very well performed. And so true in some cases as what it says actually happens sometimes.
The single version (played here) is the one with the horns. For some reason, on the stereo releases, the horns are missing and you get the full beauty of Tommy Tedesco and the rest of LA's The Wrecking Crew playing on this song. I've been a fan of Gary's since 1965. He is also by the way, a super nice guy who is accessible to his fans. Has a great sounding touring band as well.
@@lenspaulding you're too old to be this much of a dick, lens. There is simply no excuse for your ignorance and poor attitude. I bet you not envied to many parties, right? Lol. Fuck off, clown.
@@1953childstarbetween Ron Hicklin and Leon Russell, that’s who made Gary Lewis and the playboys hit songs, Hits! Their group should have been name Ron Hicklin and the Playboys: featuring Leon Russell
People don't realize how popular Gary Lewis and the Playboys were. In two years they recorded seven top 10 songs, including a number 1 hit. In fact, they are only one of two groups in the 60's to have their first seven releases make the top 10. The Beatles didn't even do that. It was only the Vietnam War and Gary being drafted, that stop the string.
You are so right!!! I grew up on the classics, Motown Soul, James Brown, and all the incredible music of the Civil Rights Movement and the Hippy / Woodstock generation, but when I was introduced to Gary Lewis and the Playboys, even I got hooked on them...and I still love their catchy tunes!!
La musica de ahora no se puede comparar con esta hermosura. Me pareccio muy poetica, aunque mientras la interpretaba el parecia reir. Supongo que era el estilo de esos tiempos! muy buena, muchas gracias!
I got Gary Lewis and The Playboys 'Golden Greats' for Christmas 1966...I was like 8 yrs old..Every song on the album was like a Number One or top five hit.. It's the song that COUNT"S..Who cares who played what, or when in the studio...Right?..Their first like ten 45s were killer..Lots of fuckin' bands get help in the studio, to this day.....So Count me the hell in guys...frankm63yroldwhitekid rockfan
Yet another great song by this vastly under rated group. The trumpet (?) addition gives it that Tex-Mex feeling which sets it apart from their other hits.
They were really Great! most of their songs became hits in those days and were frequently heard in the radios... And what's more I still like to hear them.
+Oscar Harvey Yes, I'm glad someone noticed and that the guitarist in the group wasn't playing that spanish solo. Of course I know this has to be lip synced for the video to have that great studio sound or we would all be disappointed Ha!
@@mattwilliams7426 They were aware of that. AFAIK they never tried to duplicate it either on stage or on TV (where they were usually lip-synching anyway).
That super clean bass line is pure magic! Edit: One of the best bass players that ever lived, Carol Kaye. and Tommy Tedesco on the flamenco guitar riffs. Let’s not forget Hal Blaine on the drums. All of the Wrecking Crew. And none of them saw a dime from the millions of records sold. Edit # 2. Back after 5 months. I see people don’t like knowing the truth!
love these guys!!! and my kids loved listening to them on the cassette tapes in the car. only rock band in history, i think, with an accordian player. :)
Accordion wasn't that unheard of back then. I played one before getting a Farfisa combo organ then a Hammond...and Brian Wilson used them in some of his arrangements.
Oohhh!!! This man plays with my heart strings!!!! I wish I was born back then!!!! I would love to marry this man!!! I love the face that he makes😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
This song is really great, and makes me remember a pal of mine I found crying, as he fought his sweetheart and could not get her back. He told him this was his song,
Ah, the 60's! So many great bands & great songs! I was in high school back when Gary Lewis & the Playboys were on top. It's mindboggling to think that over 50 years later I would be singing this very song, in public! There was no such thing as karaoke back then.
Opps. Hit the post button by accident the songs were meaningful in that the guy in the song admits to making a mistake and takes responsibility for it and wistfully accepts the consequences and speaks (sings) about it so other guys (and gals) can learn from his mistake and hopefully avoid the same heartache. Good on you Gary for a great song and memory.
This was recorded mid way during my senior year in high school. I loved the music of the playboys then, and still do. This reply is being made three years after yours; I hope that you are well.
I never did too much to make her stay here .... And words of love to her I'd never say !! I guess I learned a lesson when she .... walked out to stay - But I'm sure gonna miss her .... sure gonna miss her, I´m sure gonna miss her every day !! I don't suppose I ever said "I love you" And I found out too late that wasn't right !! I'm just now realizin' what I lost - that's why I'm cryin' And I'm sure gonna miss her - sure gonna miss her, I´m sure gonna miss her every night !! I know I took her love for granted ..... Guess you could say my love was blind - Thought if she left that I could stand it .... Or else it didn't matter at the time !! I heard she's found a guy that treats her better .... I hope he knows that "he's a lucky guy" - I know the rumor's true because - I saw her today .... And I'm sure gonna miss her ... he was walking with her I´m sure gonna miss her .... yes I am
Paolo, I forgot to mention that the Gary Lewis songs were favorites of my girl friend and me. We were in our mid teens...such a wonderful song to remind me of a wonderful girl. Thanks for the prompt to memory. I wish you well.
Good song with meaningful lyrics and good rhythm. It was one of my favorites when I was a young man and attended the University as a student. Now so many years later I attend another University but as a teacher. How things change with time. But this song is still one of my favorites.
Having grown up on music from the late 50s up to today, there is a lot of music and groups that were/are very good and even great ,that never got the credit or listeners they deserved . Simply because most of us ,including me , are into fads. I believe I and others my age have grown up with the best music of all times . From the early 50s up through the 90s music expanded at an incredible rate .With some of the best composers and arrangers EVER. The expanse of music in our time is incredible and we all need to expand our listening. We may miss out on more really incredible music if we don't. don't judge an entire genre based on a few objectional songs
Ohh... That is so sad. Perhaps you can call her?? Find her?? Is she married, or still alive?? Maybe it's not too late. My husband just played this song for me...it was a hit when I ended our relationship because of how he treated me...forty-eight years ago, but he got back in touch with me in 2011, and we've been married, now, for three and a half years, and I love him very much...and he treats me great.
@Denise Shanoha I know im 8 yrs late, but so what...right? Are you a witch? I am. Edit: Love your channel. ❤️. Be good...and, take good care. Drop me a line any time. Jimmy
Good song of a situation that sometimes happen: only when we lose a loved one we did not treat as we should do we realize what a treasure she had and what we lost. But some of us have to learn the hard way.
Good song and with a good realistic message. Sometimes we take things like loves too casually and later lament when we lose them. If we want to keep a love we must nourish it daily and treat the girl right so she won't go away, looking for someone else.
great band , the war killed there window , saw gary in cleveland , in a bar , real down on the street guy . his dad raised him well .got to talk to the star for 4 mins . outstanding human
This song which was featured on the HITS AGAIN album was released n February 1966. I believe this performance was taped in early 1966. (During that time, Gary moved from being the drummer to being the front man and they hired a drummer with a Beatle style haircut to take his place.)
The guitar lick in the song is played by Tommy Tedesco of the wrecking crew and none of the playboys could even come close to playing the lead guitar for this song so they didn't even try. They didn't like to do this song live because they couldn't even do a good millie vanilli fake of this guitar lick. They couldn't move their fingers for pretend as fast as Tommy actually played the notes. That's how good Tommy Tadesco was!
Just to be clear; according to the docu featuring Hal Blaine Tommy Tedesco; studio musicans were the way to go in the reccording studio for a decade. They all had more work than they could handle because everyone from Frank Sinatra Dean Martin Beach Boys Gary Lewis Glenn Campbell et al wanted over 150 members known as 'The Wrecking Crew' to play on their albums. Hal Carol Tommy being a few of the more prominent. Then; a former studio musican himself Glenn Campbell decided on his next album he would use his own band members in studio. As Hal says ' and that was one of many that decided to follow suit' and an era as many do in music began to slowly disappear. Hal says he ended up working as a security guard in Scottsdale. So it is really easier to single out who DIDN'T use studio musicians than who did for that decade when The Wrecking Crew reigned supreme.

The talent that came out of England and this country in the '60's is mind boggling!
Gary Lewis had a string of hits and all were well deserved; I miss that era so much. The songs had such heart and were had meaningful
Even though he could not sing !!!

Radle!! I was listening and wondering who that beast on the bass was. It's half the song. Thanks.
And Tommy Tedesco on the Latin guitar riff, Leon Russell on keyboards and arrangements
I loved this song way back in 66....I was 12 and enjoyed this song a lot....
We love this group so much and their unforgettable songs. This is my late sister, Ate Blenda's favorite ever.
He set the mood in those days and brings it back now.
Undoubtedly the most under rated group of the 60s.
Agree! Gary made some very good music! He had a few pretty big hits!
I disagree. Another typical, "music industry" band that was thrown at us.
Nope you are wrong there, lenspaulding!
The Small Faces were. This band had enough attention in addition to that a lead was a famous cast on TV son. They wouldn't even reach that without it
In the mid 60s, Gary was more popular than his father. If anything, being Jerry Lewis's son made it difficult for Gary to shake the celebrity son stigma. The problem was enhanced by Dino Martin, Desi Arnez Jr. and Billy, whose talent was marginal at best, especially when compared to Gary Lewis.

As did my brother. I understand how he could “get lost “ at times.. when hearing certain sounds. 🇺🇸

xoxo The Clarences
Billboard No. 9, Record World No. 8 You're right about this classic era of Top 40 music : )
They were much more than one hit wonders...Several hits and a great sound. Solid happy music, that's all.
7 or so straight Top 10 hits. The mid-60's were a special time with music like this. Extraordinary and timeless.
This song is very beautiful,especially with the horns.

Styx, Oingo Boingo, The Band and Weird Al Yankovic to name a few. Good point, I would bet that there haven't been that many total.
The Band, Springsteen, Los Lobos, The Who, Van Morrison, Paul McCartney, off the top of my head, have all performed and recorded songs with accordion.
ABBA. Benny was a keen accordian player, and used the instrument on several recordings.
Johnny Grande played accordion with Bill Haley & The Comets.
Accordion wasn't that unheard of back then. I played one before getting a Farfisa combo organ then a Hammond...and Brian Wilson used them in some of his arrangements.

There was such great music back then, this probably didn't crack the top 10...
The guitar lick in the song is played by Tommy Tedesco of the wrecking crew and none of the playboys could even come close to playing the lead guitar for this song so they didn't even try.
They didn't like to do this song live because they couldn't even do a good millie vanilli fake of this guitar lick. They couldn't move their fingers for pretend as fast as Tommy actually played the notes. That's how good Tommy Tadesco was!
that guy was so casual shredding those licks
Great sound!
Just to be clear; according to the docu featuring Hal Blaine Tommy Tedesco; studio musicans were the way to go in the reccording studio for a decade. They all had more work than they could handle because everyone from Frank Sinatra Dean Martin Beach Boys Gary Lewis Glenn Campbell et al wanted over 150 members known as 'The Wrecking Crew' to play on their albums. Hal Carol Tommy being a few of the more prominent. Then; a former studio musican himself Glenn Campbell decided on his next album he would use his own band members in studio. As Hal says ' and that was one of many that decided to follow suit' and an era as many do in music began to slowly disappear. Hal says he ended up working as a security guard in Scottsdale. So it is really easier to single out who DIDN'T use studio musicians than who did for that decade when The Wrecking Crew reigned supreme.
