    Top Shelf Tom: great find! I liked Ohio Express’s version when it came out; bounced around gleefully to it. To hear the original is a thrill. I like the “back alley” recordings like this!

      You really mean you like The Conquests version (the group re=doing it here), Because what we heard BB&S as Rare Breed & Ohio Express (just 2 brand names at first) were actually these real guys, & both releases were their same original recording.

    Ah… the singer goes into a Hang On Sloopy/Rick Derringer rasp on the chorus.

    Omg, I woke up up in the middle of night and remembered this song. Super memories. I loved it then and still do!

    This 1966 version definitely has "wall of sound" elements in it

    thanks for explaining I bought the Ohio Express 45 in 1967 and the garage band I was in used to cover it

    A superb cover by "Los Pingos", sixties band under the name "robar y rogar" runs in YT. A peerless track.

    Interesting have the original Ohio express 45. It. Rocks.

    One of the most familiar yet unrecognized songs of the rock era. The chords, first laid down here, can be found in many other top 40 hits that came later. I love the insertion of the percussion...I wish the Ohio Express version had included that.

      " the most familiar yet unrecognized songs"??? WTF?? LOL

    The original "Rare Breed" version of this song is a perfect record. It did not need to be redone. Sound like they tried to turn a Kinks song into a Tommy James song. As the title of another Rare Breed song states, "lightning doesn't strike twice."

    Was this a K and K Production? Kazenetz and Katz, same producers of Ram Jam's Black Betty.

    • @TopshelfTom
      @TopshelfTom  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. They ran Super K productions. They also produced the hit version of this.

      @whatyoudontknow6829 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      And who produced Green Tambourine then? I know Bill Bartlett play on that song.

    • @TopshelfTom
      @TopshelfTom  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Paul Leka did. He also produced Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye by Steam as well as Will You Be Staying After Sunday by the Peppermint Rainbow.

    • @thewoodlandsrails

      @@TopshelfTom Apparently Leka and lead singer Gary DeCarlo were not getting along at the time that Na Na Hey Hey was released under the made-up "Steam" moniker. DeCarlo appeared in several TH-cam videos before his passing in 2017 saying he was supposed to front the "Steam" touring group after the song became a hit but, Leka and the recored company broke that promise.

    This version is a ‘no’.
