You rarely hear "Everything's Alright" today,but it's a criminally undervalued '60's classic as are "Run,Baby,Run" and of course,"Bread And Butter." Larry Henley,the Bill Clinton look-alike falsetto singer,died exactly seven years ago at age 77.(Dec.18,2014.) RIP, Larry,your fans will never forget you !!!!
Everything's Alright got its due. It was a sizeable hit in Detroit. The lyrics were extraordinarily intense, topped perhaps only in 1965 by the Duprees' Around The Corner, in which the victim meets his end. Classic performance.
No no. I hate to be a prick, but I feel I HAVE to correct you, it's not that many people can't sing in falsetto- it's just that not many people have been able to do it so convincingly they confuse the listener into thinking it's an old black woman... Hey they lonely girl Is a good example of a wonderful falsetto (eddie holman) but even then, I feel like the masses could hear he was a man. larry here, whoa, what age and wisdom in those pipes and expressed with his inflections. Blown away because at age 42 I'm just now getting to see this song I grew up with ISN'T sung with a woman on lead vocal
FIRST thing I noticed watching these old AB videos...Dick was WAY ahead of his time! This would have NEVER happened at the same time I was growing up in Atlanta, GA.
Me and a cousin saw the Newbeats at the National Guard Armory in Evansville, Indiana in 1965. What a show. The main thing I remember from the show was all three of them could sing the falsetto lead. They took turns on Bread and Butter.
I'm 52 this is the first time I ever heard this and I like this music big time I'm into Heavy Metal music and Classic rock and Country music also and now I'm in too this music I know this is older than I am
I've been listening to this song for years. Love It!! Larry Henley was a great talent and had the best falsetto voice I've ever heard. Song lifts the spirits, brings back many happy memories, and keeps me dancing. LOVE LOVE LOVE this.
Totally agree. When I'm down, I will put this on my phone, listen with headphones, do some gardening or watering out in the backyard and just have a great old time. Love love love this music
Just lost my Great Grandma back in June and she absolutely loved these songs. Hearing her and my Great Grandpa singing Bread and Butter, driving down the coast, to the aquarium as a kid has always been my favorite memory of her. I played this the night she passed and it helped me be somewhat at peace. I come back to it each time I get sad and just remember the smiles on their faces as she tried to match the vocals. She really was a wonderful person and I’m so glad to of shared a life with her. Truly amazing music how music can bring people together💚
My Brother is 41. When we were around 20 he'd randomly belt this song out. It was absolutely hilarious. I sent him a text about it the other day and he sent me this video in response
I hope your brother is doing well, my friend. I can imagine how much he loves that song, and honestly, I don't blame him! The song is catchy as hell! 🤭🤭🤭💙
Larry Hinley the lead singer, had quite a career as a song writer in the 80's and 90's. He received a grammy for co writing Wind beneath my Wings sung by Bette Midler, and several number 1's
I'm surprised howcome Lary never get a movie role to play as Mrs.Doubtfire,becouse he really do have femenine voice.PS:I have theirs song Mother In Law on my PS4 Cities Skylines Radio Station.
Larry Hinley is a good singer but come on to compare him to Frankie VALLI???? VALLI is one of the greatest singers of the rock era. I don’t believe there is anyone other singer that has the same vocal range as VALLI, and I’m not just referring to his fantastic falsetto.
In the early 60s I was in a band in Alabama we went to Columbus ga and opened up for them at the municipal auditorium I think there were ten k people there that night
Everything's Alright was such an intense single. A hallmark of high drama. We are immeasurably blessed that this live lip sync performance of it has survived.
As noted above, on October 3rd, 1964 the Newbeats performed "Everything's Alright" on the above episode of the ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'... Three weeks later "Everything's Alright" entered Billboard's Top 100 chart position #90, seven weeks later it would peak at #16 {for 1 week} and it spent nine weeks on the Top 100... It reached #6 on the Canadian RPM Singles chart... And on the same 'Bandstand' show the trio also performed "Bread and Butter", at the time it was at #3 on the Top 100, two weeks earlier it had peaked at #2 {for 2 weeks}, the two records that kept it out of the top spot were "The House of the Rising Sun" by the Animals and "Oh, Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbison... Between 1964 and 1969 the Shreveport, Louisiana trio had seven records on the Top 100, one made the Top 10, the above "Bread And Butter"... Member Larry Henley, falsetto singer, passed away at the age of 77 on December 18th, 2014... May he R.I.P.
Seems that Dick overlooked that Dean and Mark were brothers from "Hahira" Georgia! Larry Henley (and his falsetto) is from Texas and in the late 80s helped pen Bette Midler's classic: "Winds Beneath My Wings" Terrific clip here of "The Newbeats" !
First heard in 1966, I've never seen any vids of this group until now. Totally blown away by the lead singer. Unlike what I'd thought he would have looked like. What a surprise!!!
Isn't he neat? Certain mean can sing like women. Lou Christie has a very low voice. Frankie Valli has a great falsetto. But there can only be that blonde Newbeat!
I was starting seventh grade when " Everything's Alright" and Bread And Butter" hit,and I've LOVED those songs since.They don't make songs like that in 2018.And their falsetto singer,Larry Henley,looked almost EXACTLY like Bill Clinton.RIP,Larry!!!!
When I was eight I thought they had a black woman singing. I lived in a black neighborhood in the city where everyone else thought that too. "Bread and Butter" was very popular with my neighbors who knew all the lyrics. Then AB came on with the Newbeats and boy were we all surprised!
I'm too lazy to look it up right now, but I'm pretty sure when they we're on the cover of a music magazine, the caption was, Where's the girl? Got to listen to Pink Sally Rue by the Newbeats. Then move on to the young bees, Monday I got Friday on my mind.
I guess my radio station, WHB, never played this song. Never heard it until today, 2021. Only ever heard Bread and Butter. Also, never knew what they looked like until now. HAHAHAHA.
LARRY JOEL HENLEY ( 30 June 1937 - 18 December 2014 / 77 ) He was an American singer/songwriter, born in Arp, Texas, and is perhaps best known for co-writing ( with Jeff Silbar ) the 1989 hit record, Wind Beneath My Wings. The single was a U.S. # 1 hit for Bette Midler, and has since totaled more than six million radio airplays. The song earned Henley and Silbar the Grammy Award for Song of the Year for 1989, and Bette Midler the Record of the Year award. The song was originally recorded by Roger Whittaker in 1982 and has since been covered by numerous artists. He was also the lead singer of the pop group The Newbeats in the mid-1960s. The group had two hits which charted in the top 20 on Billboard magazine, with one of them, Bread and Butter, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard charts and selling over a million copies. He was a 2012 inductee into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and died on Thursday 18 December 2014 in Nashville, Tennessee at the age of 77.
I thought it was a munchkin on crack and helium., Fun times, innocent times. I'd like to spring this on an intro at a rap 'concert' just to see the reaction.
There was nothing but lip synching in those days unless it was a big network show. Shows like American Bandstand could not afford to pay the performers to do a song live.
The Newbeats, in long shot, look like they're all wearing prosthetic ears! Without the surviving Kinescope images , as distorted as they were, were all that was available to preserve live broadcasts. Before TV went coast-to-coast it's how 'fringe areas' saw the shows, via Kinescope. This is how thousands of live shows were preserved. They were first used in the late 40's and were still in limited use, long after video tape was introduced. I recently saw a film of Nixon's resignation. The print I saw was a black & white Kinescope, which surprised me because it was telecast in color. By this time video tape had long been the standard.

HOW DID HE LEARN HE COULD SING LIKE THAT? !! Was he brought up in a singing type 50:s neighborhood? There is A STORY THERE!!!
RIP Larry Henley, not many people can do falsetto, one of the best singers ever.
I love you wherever you are, I wish I could have known you,
@@donnadenny245 Do you really, well good for you.

That falsetto voice coming out of Henley was amazing!
People of different races sitting together enjoying music ......what a concept. All part of the human race !!!!

Wonderful und wunderbar!😉. All right and alles richtig! Newbeats are amazing band forever!👌👍🖐
That falsetto vocal is off the chart. I can dig it!
Larry Hinley the lead singer, had quite a career as a song writer in the 80's and 90's. He received a grammy for co writing Wind beneath my Wings sung by Bette Midler, and several number 1's
I totally LOVE THIS SONG AND BREAD & BUTTER ...can not stop listening!!!
I'm surprised howcome Lary never get a movie role to play as Mrs.Doubtfire,becouse he really do have femenine voice.PS:I have theirs song Mother In Law on my PS4 Cities Skylines Radio Station.
Love the newbeats always have and he did not talk in this voice ! what talent would love to see them again in person .
He had to have been a ultra-soulful Black girl singer in a previous life...! Great!!
whaaaaaaat i grew up listening to all the oldies and neeever expected that voice to be comin out of a guy like that..bhahahahaha dang thats awesome
WOW, this guy's voice is AMAZING!!!
You are absolutely correct You rarely hear all those great songs
Larry Hinley had one of the best falsetto voices ever. These guys were original.....loved them.
super high notes
I always thought that was a woman singing. A woman blues singer
That falsetto is crazy. Him and donnie elbert are next level. The falsetto from the charades is in that categorie too i think as well
Angelo from the Belmont's, FALSETTO MAN !
Thank god for Dick Clark. Watched from Philly and LA
Brings back memories...it was just the other day...
Love Bread & Butter, the message is awesome.
I always love when they show the audience and how much fun they seem to be having!!!

Got this one on vinyl, and it

Loved this as a 7 year old listening to WLS. Love that falsetto.
Great sounding background vocals & a raw, gutsy falsetto make for a great chemistry here. Won’t forget it once ya’ hear it.
everythings all right - thank you so much for this upload
this song is every one
favorite ❤❤
Lead singer Larry Hinley's falsetto gave Frankie Valli's falsetto a run for his money!
Franki Valli's not in the same league!
Forsure! but I dont get why people compare singers lol
No doubt, my boy!
@@jeffstetson You're right. Frankie Valli's light years ahead of Larry Hinley.
Larry Hinley is a good singer but come on to compare him to Frankie VALLI???? VALLI is one of the greatest singers of the rock era. I don’t believe there is anyone other singer that has the same vocal range as VALLI, and I’m not just referring to his fantastic falsetto.
Fabulous song
In the early 60s I was in a band in Alabama we went to Columbus ga and opened up for them at the municipal auditorium I think there were ten k people there that night
Yaaaaaaaass good music.😊❤💪👍
LOVE THIS SONG !!!
Larry just passed away there run baby run is great one
Dick Clark did a lot to help up and coming singers. May he rest in peace.
these guys are GREAT!!! what a voice - I thought it was a female when I heard the song but the voice WOW!!! LOVE IT!!!!

Cool tune, always liked it since way back then, talented crew, especially the lead singer.
Super amazing !!!
First heard in 1966, I've never seen any vids of this group until now. Totally blown away by the lead singer. Unlike what I'd thought he would have looked like. What a surprise!!!
Isn't he neat? Certain mean can sing like women. Lou Christie has a very low voice. Frankie Valli has a great falsetto. But there can only be that blonde Newbeat!
Excellent clip..thanks!
...and Larry's vibrato...with the falsetto. Wow.
Whats that mean
The kids sure love this sonr!
I was looking up the Sunbeam commercial and was shocked to find it was an actual song. Love this clip with Dick Clark.
I was starting seventh grade when " Everything's Alright" and Bread And Butter" hit,and I've LOVED those songs since.They don't make songs like that in 2018.And their falsetto singer,Larry Henley,looked almost EXACTLY like Bill Clinton.RIP,Larry!!!!
He always reminded me of the late actor Rutger Hauer.
cool....great singer...reminds me of the great Frankie Valli
Jimmy Somerville of Bronski Beat had a fantastic, soulful, falsetto voice.
When I was eight I thought they had a black woman singing. I lived in a black
neighborhood in the city where everyone else thought that too. "Bread and Butter"
was very popular with my neighbors who knew all the lyrics. Then AB came on with

Darn it, typos
Larry Henley...it doesn't get much better than "Everything's Alright" and the 25 thumbs down weren't there in 1964.
I guess my radio station, WHB, never played this song. Never heard it until today, 2021. Only ever heard Bread and Butter. Also, never knew what they looked like until now. HAHAHAHA.
I was always intrigued by (what I assumed to be) the woman's voice in this song, LOL
Ditto 😆
Original and fantastic. Beats today's crap anytime. 1964.....I was19 what a time to be alive.
Bet that guy in the middle with the fantastic falcetto voice had the great Frankie Valli panicking!
I’m 75, I’ve always liked this song but, never knew what the title was, or who sang it, until now 🤷♂️
Dat voice :D
Sensacional!!!!
Singer wrote wind beneath my wings for film Beaches
👍🏻❤️✌🏻they were great.

Clay Marston he would’ve been 81 now😉

Shall we vote?? Who wore his underwear the tightest, Larry Hinley, Lou Christie or Frankie Valli.
hinley or valli i cant really decide lol
marky mylàrky
Definitely this guy
Love his voice
Larry 100% highest... Also, what about Leo Sayer??
Two Faces Have I
I always liked this one more then Bread and Butter.
Hey....doing the Carlton....years before....LOL
I'm surprised there wasn't an uproar about them lip synching! :) That is a crazy voice! Never heard of these guys until today!

a beast!
Brothers Dean and Marc Mathis had an earlier hit as a duo in 1959 -- "Tell Him No".
Larry Henley was the Grandfather of The Heavy Metal vocal style .
This was broadcast about six or seven months after "American Bandstand" moved from Philadelphia to Hollywood.
lead singer wrote wind beneath my wings
cute song (bread and butter)
Love it,
Makes me want to watch Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger in 9 And Half Weeks
Classic Memphis!
when I first herd this I thought it was a black women. lol
You watch too much Police Academy lol
i love that movie. lol
Me too
Eversince Bread& Butter was popular, I thought a female & male sang this. Two years ago found out it isn't ! Was disappointed 🤦🏻♀️
I always knew it was a white dude deep down though. lol
Lol 4:24 I love how they fade out on the lip syncing
Bob and Travis with Larry
People watching this on TV in '64 "wait.. that blonde white guy??!"
I was surprised when Walter Mosley mentioned this song in one of his mystery novels.
How did he get that voice just great
You wouldn't want to know... it was a very painful accident.....
Yep INDEED ❗😋
He sounds like Fantasia Barrino from AMERICAN Idol can you just picture her singing that part 😝😝😝😝
“I like BREAD N Butter N I like toaster jam”😝😝😝😝😝
The girl in glasses at last minutes of Bread and Butter looks sooooo familiar......... anybody know???
Henley really does bear a striking resemblance to Mister Bill.
Amazing voice! But where did they hide the band at? Behind that painted wall? Why'd they hide all the musicians?
Continental suits verry BOSS!
such cute girls in the audience
great voices...always thought they we're British....
Does anyone know if Larry was related to Don Henley of the Eagles?
nice ears all 'round
