  • I still havent heard from Gary but have heard from some of his neighbours in 1967/68....in HD Stereo Mixed from Mono show Track...some of you may have noticed that I am trying to assemble these 2 song sets back together they way they were seen on live TV on Sunday nights.....note: lyrics were slightly changed in both songs...Young Girl...lyrics changed (censored) from 'Cause I'm afraid we'll go too far' to 'How can this love of ours go on? ' & Lady Willpower..'facts of life' changed to 'ways of life'.This made CBS Network officals happy.
    "Young Girl" is a RIAA million-selling Gold-certified single that was written, composed, and produced by Jerry Fuller and performed by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap with instrumental backing by members of "The Wrecking Crew".It was released in 1968.
    The song hit No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks, stuck behind "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding for the first week and "Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro for the remaining two.It also reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart and the US Cash Box listing.It made No. 34 on the US Easy Listening.It climbed to No. 2 in South Africa.
    In the UK, "Young Girl" was re-released in 1974 as part of a CBS Records series entitled "Hall of Fame Hits", and enjoyed a second UK chart run, peaking at No. 6.
    The song is delivered from the point of view of a man who has become distressed upon finding out that the girl he is with, contrary to the first impression she had made upon him, is actually younger than the legal age of consent. He is asking her to leave before things go any further: "Get out of here / before I have the time / to change my mind / 'cause I'm afraid we'll go too far".
    Lyrics (with changed lyrics)
    Young girl, get out of my mind
    My love for you is way out of line
    Better run girl
    You're much too young girl
    With all the charms of a woman
    You've kept the secret of your youth
    You led me to believe you're old enough
    To give me love
    And now it hurts to know the truth
    Young girl, get out of my mind
    My love for you is way out of line
    Better run girl
    You're much too young
    So hurry home to your mama
    I'm sure she wonders where you are
    Get out of here
    Before I have the time
    To change my mind
    'How can this love of ours go on?
    Young girl, get out my mind
    My love for you is way out of line
    Better run girl
    You're much too young girl (repeat to fade)
    "Lady Willpower" is a song written by Jerry Fuller and recorded by Gary Puckett & The Union Gap for their 1968 album Incredible. The single was awarded a million-selling Gold disc from the RIAA.
    In the U.S., the song ranked among Cashbox's Top 100 singles of 1968, where it hit the No. 1 position the week ending August 3, 1968. "Lady Willpower" went No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1968 (behind "Grazing in the Grass" by Hugh Masekela). and reached No. 26 on the Easy Listening chart.The song was the No. 34 song on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles in 1968.
    Outside the US, "Lady Willpower" reached No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart during the year."Lady Willpower" also peaked at #4 on the Kent Music Report (KMR) Chart in Australia, spending 16 weeks on the KMR Top-100 after entering the chart on the 22nd June 1968.
    Lyrics (with changed lyrics)
    Lady Willpower, it's now or never
    Give your love to me and I'll shower
    Your heart with tenderness endlessly
    I know you want to see me but you're afraid
    Of what I might have on my mind
    One thing you can be sure of
    I'll take good care of your love
    If you will let me give you mine
    Lady Willpower, it's now or never
    Give your love to me and I'll shower
    Your heart with tenderness endlessly
    Did no one ever tell you the way of life?
    Well there's so much you have to learn
    And I would gladly teach you
    If I could only reach you
    And get your lovin' in return
    Lady Willpower, it's now or never
    Give your love to me and I'll shower
    Your heart with tenderness endlessly
    Songwriters: Jerry Fuller

    Gary had one of the iconic voices of that era. I heard him at the Tarrytown Music Hall (in NY) about a decade ago. I will never forget it -- the band started playing and after a few bars, he stopped them! And said, "It's too loud." I'm a drummer, and I was so impressed -- here was a real musician, who wanted it ti sound right. We talked after the show, I gave him a couple of my jazz trio CDs, and for about a year I tried to convince him to do his tunes with my jazz trio, to play at some jazz/cabaret clubs in NYC. It never happened, but through our conversations I got to know him a bit -- an absolutely wonderful guy!

      I was 9 when this came on our TV in Moose Jaw,Saskatchewan in 1968.All those pop/rock performances on TV had an influence on my music tastes right back to seeing the Beatles American debut in 1964 when I was 5.✌️🇨🇦

      I love your comment,only cause,it happened to me...dating a beautiful 'blessed' woman in 1977 who said she was 18.She looked that age & could passed for 21.I was 19....i did let her drive my car once but thank goodness her mom accidently blurted out her age in conversation.That put an end to that pretty quick....🇨🇦

    One of the greatest lead voices in rock music! Him, Jay Black, and Johnny Maestro!
