I never stop listening to him!! He and his band were doing tours, in the 70's. They played at a school I took my baby son. I actually got to meet them. I wanted all their autographs. Gary held my son for me!!!!! My grown son is still talking about that. They were the greatest!!!
Songs were short, fun and had meaning back then! We could actually understand the lyrics these artists were singing. We sang along with them, too, because the 1960's / '70's were a FANTASTIC time to live !!

At about 17 I was hooked so much because of exactly what you described. I was on top of the world when I heard this music. It was like( and other 60's music) it opened a whole new world to me!
OMG! I haven't heard this in years. Just bored and cruising youtube and landed here. Wow!!!! I was like seven years old when my parents had this music on the AM radio! Love this song. Thank Gary Lewis and the Playboys for great tunes!!!
He was drafted into the army in about 1967 or so and went to Vietnam, and when he came home, music had changed and nobody wanted to hear his kind of music any more, thus ending his career. His Dad could probably have pulled some strings to get him deferred , but his being a man of character, he went into the service and did the right thing. I was a teenager in the Sixties and his music made a huge impression on me that lasts to this day.
When this song came out I thought it was the Beach Boys , This was how brilliant Lewis was at writing and their harmonising was was quality , they were highly under rated and deserved far better !
@william lipsett Lewis did not write his hits. He had catchy songs, but they were almost entirely a product of the LA "Wrecking Crew" hit-making machine. He did do his own singing though.
@@robertbykowski1398 Wow , it's marvellous how some people can take a song and breath life into it with higher quality results like he did there ! I never knew that !
@@thewkovacs316 I was guilty of that , but you still need some quality to work with in order to manipulate the sound , we used to make the voice go higher as well !
I loved this group as a kid in the sixties. This song brings back the GOOD that is missing in music today. It's truly sad that has happened. Thanx Gary Lewis and the Playboys! I was 7 when this on my Dad's old Philco AM radio playing. It was the time in my life, that we didn't have much. We lived behind a firestation in two rooms! Dad listened to radio constantly, as he was the only paid fireman in the small town we lived in. He kept the three pieces of equipment that town had, spotless. We even had people gave us a Dalmatian, my sister named Chief! Thanx Moon doggy for this. Brings tears to my eyes actually, that all that is gone, my parents and my sister, and Chief. This type of music too. Peace to all, and be safe.
Gary tells a great story about how things were going great. Then he was drafted and came back three years later with the war in Viet Nam going full hog. He said the war changed everything and his brand of music simply got left behind.
I'm and 80s kid and while me sister was listening to Good Charlotte and Avril Levine I was buying the old stuff and thinking about why does no one know Gary, The Association, Tommy James and the Shonndells? These guys should be well known. 60s, 70s, 80s are the king of underrated
I LOVE GARY LEWIS AND PLAYBOYS, THANKS TO MY OLDER BROTHER GOT ME INTO MUSIC AT EARLY AGE. LISTERNING TO HIS 45'S AND LP'S ME ON THE FLOOR PLAYING WITH MY TOYS LISTENING .
With mid 60's focus on bands like the Beach Boys and beatles ... GL&PB were often glossed over! People forget they had 7 top 10 hits & over a dozen more top 40! They were that great🎶🎸🎷
That's a shame because I love his music. The older music is best. I never get tired of it. I was a kid in the sixties but my older sister listened to all of this so I loved it.
Me too ... his dad could have gotten him out of Nam service, but he refused. Served his term and did what was right. I admire him for his music, but even more for his conscience.
Regarding all the accordion comments: John West is playing a Cordovox Electronic Accordion. It had a good electric piano sound, and was a helluva a lot easier than dragging around a keyboard.
Bruce Powell Bob..Gary actually could sing but his voice became deeper after these songs were major hits. The had 10- top 10 hits which is an incredible feat in music business.
@@dbd1353 Actually "overrated", considering Gary Lewis voice was overdubbed by Ron Hicklin and the instrumentals were done by "The Wrecking Crew"…. All fake !!!!
60s music wasn't political??? Wow, do you mean the 1860s? No, you couldn't have. Lots of political music then, too. I'm afraid you either slept through the 60s, destroyed your brain cells in the 60s (or 70s), or weren't alive in the 60s and have gad a VERY limited and poor sample of 60s music.
@@ModelTrainOutsider Calm down guy, When I was in grade school back then, I didn't know what the word 'political' meant. But I know now that it's a very UGLY word sad to say.
@@ModelTrainOutsider I think he meant that this music was recorded before the Vietnam war deepened and got into high gear and many bands' lyrics were commenting on that fact. Early 1965 was still a fairly innocent time. The draft didn't start until August, 1965.
I liked this song when a new release, and I was only age 5, and still love it.The bubble gum rock songs of the 1960's-1970's have always been songs that made me feel happy from deep within whenever I hear them.I think of them as 'feel good songs'.They're priceless.
+Vicki Erickson I seen him in the late 90's at Franklin County Stadium in Columbus Ohio with the Grass Roots Paul Revere and the Raiders Lou Christie Little Richard and Peter Noone.....He tried to perform....lol... He was so tore up that he had to be helped from the stage.....I mean he was done barely made it though a song and a half off key and forgetting the lyrics. He should have never got on stage.........lol
I just saw Gary Lewis live a few months ago. Great show and awesome music. It brought me back to a much better time, when music made you feel good. So many memories. Gary Lewis is an awesome guy with a great personality. I have always been a huge fan.
I am sorry captain that you cannot appreciate the talent and diversity in music through the decades. I am honored to have lived in this time and can appreciate many different styles of music.
This song is totally dedicated to my "love of 1966" - Loretta. All the lyric words were just right to me as well as the melody. I was around 16 when this song was playing on the rock stations. Oh! the sweet memories!
Gary you are wonderful. I really like your style specially this song we are your fan since 67up to the present times 2020 go Gary god bless you and your family
I saw Gary Lewis and The Playboys live at the Starlight outdoor theater in Kansas City, Missouri back in 65' or 66' I love their sound and I got to meet Gary and the guys after the show, they're really nice guys.
I am 57 and grew up with that 'feel good music".We had one of those tall radios that stood on the floor, from the 1940's, made of dark wood.The speaker was awesome, and I listened to current pop rock songs on it during the 1960's-1970's.
Your songs are the best in that era. It is more than a memory. I still look at the girls. UGH ? To be young again. Why did they invent mirrors ? Wish I had my 57 Chevy. I also had a very fast 62 Dodge Polaris 500. Ran flat out fast. 140 m.p.h. Cops never caught me. The girls did in my cars it was glorious. Duck tail hair. Went to the local Cantine to dance and plug the juke box 3 plays for a quarter. Danced until it closed for the nite. God bless you and the group. Jeff Peters
I dig their wholesome image and innocent smiles. As someone who favors male singers with a bass voice, I’m getting a soft spot for the guy on the accordion. Maybe if I was alive and their ages at the time, he’d be “just my style “
My first 'favorite group' after seeing them introduce 'Ring' on the Ed Sullivan Show back in early '65. Still do to this day. Love all their songs.Much Thanks Gary and all the guys.
"This Diamond Ring" was my first favorite song. I thought about it when I was in the seventh grade in junior high school. However, I heard this song, She's Just My Style," before 1965. This rock and roll music were quite cute.
1965, I was 10 yrs old and this was my favorite song. I had a girlfriend and she loved this song too. Memories of calling her every evening to talk to her. We thought we were in love....in our heart we were.
Met Gary Lewis back in 1985 back when the radio station I worked for co-sponsored the "Happy Together Tour" at 6 flags over Texas. Gary was very cool and fun to hang with. I still love the music after all of these years. Julia. M.
Merci pour ce partage en live J'ai découvert ce chanteur et son groupe il y a quelques semaines sur internet et J'aime bien leur style même si ce n'est pas tout à fait ma musique préférée Mais ils sont intéressants et regrettent de ne les avoir découverts qu'au XXIe siècle
Summer 1965 and these guys were rockin' Disneyland with nightly dances. At the time they were just 'another group' ...... still remember all those kids dancing in front of the stage. What memories !!
@@ronaldt491 Gary Lewis and wore identical band collar white shirts that night. I asked him to play my old girlfriend’s favorite song. But he said they didn’t take requests. Ron ---, who is wealthy paid Gary $10,000 and Gary put the cash in his shoe.
MOONDOGGY == WOW THANKS for GARY LEWIS & PLAYBOYS and thier big hit song:: SHE,S JUST MY STYLE!!!! from FEBRUARY 1966* Believe it or not I only seen these young men maybe 2 times since FEBRUARY 1965 and thier first #1 song: ""THIS DIAMOND RING"" 58 years later HERE THEY ARE!!!!! ☆☆☆☆☆ 5 star film clip*****
I saw Gary Lewis in Harrisburg, Pa. at one of the city's summer events. He and the band still sounded great! I liked this song since the first time I heard it.
This song was co-written, arranged and co-produced by Leon Russell. He was not satisfied with the instrumental on the original track so he went in, wiped it out and laid down that killer guitar solo. A lot of people associate him with the piano (well he was great on it) but don't realize he was a really good guitarist too. Even more amazing, is he that had some paralysis, on his right side, due to a birth injury and it took him a year to be able to use a pick properly. The more I have learned about him, the more impressed I am.
Thanks! I worked as a guitarist and guitar teacher for years and I always wondered about that solo. That guitar solo was a great inspiration to me before I began playing.
@Ray Sagastiano Good point- after the Beatles had broken up, I remember soft rock was quite popular (and for me, disappointing) and there was this sense that the 60's spirit as a whole had been replaced by a certain blandness which would be replaced by the next R'n'R 'revolution' of the late 70's, which was based on the 50's and mid 60's- shorter songs (and hair), strong melodies and hooks and fun, fun, fun.
This song always reminds me of my brother - he used to sing this all the time when he was in his younger days. I had forgotten how much I liked these guys - Jerry Lewis gave us more than just some good laughs.
I never stop listening to him!! He and his band were doing tours, in the 70's. They played at a school
I took my baby son. I actually got to meet them. I wanted all their autographs. Gary held my son for me!!!!! My grown son is still talking about that. They were the greatest!!!
How'd they sound live?
Songs were short, fun and had meaning back then! We could actually understand the lyrics these artists were singing. We sang along with them, too, because the 1960's / '70's were a FANTASTIC time to live !!

Still listening in 2024.
I thought you were the real talent in your family.
Absolutely! Still love his music to this day!!
@@donnahuff540It’s 9/12/24 in Austin, Tx! Great song and singers! Seniors were great in ‘68! I’m 75 and still rockin to the ‘60s today🥳🎶
Gary Lewis songs are wholesome, homey, romantic, happy and innocent. Reflective of the 60's golden age!
nailed it!
No profanity, or excessive displays of sexuality. Clean.
Priceless 👍😍I agree most ppls had morals then😉
At about 17 I was hooked so much because of exactly what you described. I was on top of the world when I heard this music. It was like( and other 60's music) it opened a whole new world to me!
He was from Cleveland which might be the reason for the wholesomeness of Gary and his music.
One of my favorite songs from the sixties!!! LOVED this band, such upbeat talent here!!! So glad we have recordings!
Hello Linda, How are you doing?
Linda, this comment is being made five years after yours. I agree with you about the music that the playboys made. I hope that you are doing well.
OMG! I haven't heard this in years. Just bored and cruising youtube and landed here. Wow!!!! I was like seven years old when my parents had this music on the AM radio! Love this song. Thank Gary Lewis and the Playboys for great tunes!!!
Very Legitimate Band. Gary as we all know never asked his father for a dime! He was invited on jerry's show because Gary lewis was very popular!
He was drafted into the army in about 1967 or so and went to Vietnam, and when he came home, music had changed and nobody wanted to hear his kind of music any more, thus ending his career. His Dad could probably have pulled some strings to get him deferred , but his being a man of character, he went into the service and did the right thing.

Served in Korea.

I didn't go into the Navy until 1970.
He was a few years older than I.

Gary Lewis and the Playboys, in my opinion, were one of the many underrated American bands of the 60s. Just like Paul revere and the Raiders and SDQ.
Yep Sir Douglas had some good songs.I love Blue Norther.
I love the both
I agree,
Gary tells a great story about how things were going great. Then he was drafted and came back three years later with the war in Viet Nam going full hog. He said the war changed everything and his brand of music simply got left behind.

What a great sound. Super harmonies. A wonderful band!
Pop music of the 1960s is really something to look back on and marvel at, isn't it?
Good old 60s music 🎶
That voice is disturbingly modulated that really shows up in a bad recording. Like this one.
Thanks Gary and The Wrecking Crew for giving us
this great music ! Awesome.
And thank Ron Hicklin for over dubbing Gary lewis voice….
The Wrecking Crew were on Pet Sounds
Man, these guys are just so CLEAN. They all look like they're going to church right after the performance. I had 2 or 3 albums.
Yes....in Gary's case it would be temple though...:)
Gary is Jewish
The Dave Clark 5, early Beatles and even the early Stones dressed super clean too......
@@richbailey8174 About to say that 🤣

I LOVE GARY LEWIS AND PLAYBOYS, THANKS TO MY OLDER BROTHER GOT ME INTO MUSIC AT EARLY AGE. LISTERNING TO HIS 45'S AND LP'S ME ON THE FLOOR PLAYING WITH MY TOYS LISTENING .
I don't remember any other group playing an accordion in their band. They were awesome and unique!
Hello Patty, How are you doing?
@@shauntrailskinner9645 Really?
I think Grace Jones was one of the only other ones oddly enough
It's a Cordovox
The Church: Under The Milky Way Tonight. Sorry they used bagpipes. Still a cool song
One of the best songs of that era. Bring back that kind of music Era 🎶
I heard it when I was a little child who was too little to play any music on my father's and stepmother's Motorola console.
I watched an interview with Gary, and unlike his old man, a really humble nice guy.
These guys had a string of hits back in the 60s. Always enjoyed listening.
He plays guitar and the drums. I never realized how talented he was.
Brandon Allen Gary played drums as a young boy..specfically learned guitar when manager wanted him to be in front rather than in back on drums.
Remember this from when I was 13. They had a nice sound!
With mid 60's focus on bands like the Beach Boys and beatles ... GL&PB were often glossed over! People forget they had 7 top 10 hits & over a dozen more top 40! They were that great🎶🎸🎷
Indeed they were 👍
I’m afraid I don’t know them at all and I was a sixties child. They look very smart!
@@barbarapybus4049 you never heard of this diamond ring? ur u kidding?
That's a shame because I love his music. The older music is best. I never get tired of it. I was a kid in the sixties but my older sister listened to all of this so I loved it.
In an Era of the Stones, and Beatles!, ..These guys could tear it up!...All that needs to be said!
Does anybody else think that the 60s were the best decade for music?
I was a Gary Lewis and the Playboys fan and when I found their Greatest hits on CD, I had to buy it.
One of my fav songs of Gary Lewis and the Playboys. Makes me want to dance every time I hear this happy song. Thanks for sharing.
lets do the jitterbug........
@Ella Zotomayor Me too!
Gary Lewis like the Raiders were Hit Making Machines in the mid 60's...very underated groups!
thank you for mentioning or
p.r.and the raiders
Upbeat sound and uplifting !!!! Great sound. He has his own style !!!!
This Band was so under rated...I loved their music.
Me Too
Me too ... his dad could have gotten him out of Nam service, but he refused. Served his term and did what was right. I admire him for his music, but even more for his conscience.
The “band” was really “The Wrecking Crew” with Leon Russell on piano......
That is correct!!!!
@@jimborgmann178 Correct, and Ron Hicklin dubbed over Gary Lewis voice.. It is amazing how I am now discovering that my youth in the 1960's was fake..

beach music ??
Yes
bought this single when it was released, played it til it wore out after 6 months, fifty years later so am I. Long live sixties music!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes....believes the 1960's had the best music of all time

65' and 69' were great years for pop music. Literally dozens of classics from that period.
Some critics say Gary doesn't have a good voice. If you've ever seen Gary live, he has a presence on stage that is great.

Saw these guys perform in concert at then Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State) in the fall of 1966, great show.

Fabulous, I was 18 when this song was out. Love it. Loved the group.
My first 'favorite group' after seeing them introduce 'Ring' on the Ed Sullivan Show back in early '65. Still do to this day. Love all their songs.Much Thanks Gary and all the guys.
"This Diamond Ring" was my first favorite song. I thought about it when I was in the seventh grade in junior high school. However, I heard this song, She's Just My Style," before 1965. This rock and roll music were quite cute.

I bought this 45 when it first came out !!!! Have heard it since I used it as a frisbee after I wore it out !!! Great song...thanks for post!
Song drives me wild!. They were enjoying themselves, made me smile!.
Love the lyrics...other guys don't think she's much to see, but she does it for me. Beautiful man.
I know a guy that was in Gary's unit during Vietnam. He said he was a swell guy, didn't act like a big shot either. He was just one of the guys.
Gary Lewis was in a safe, non combat area of Korea !!!!
Saw them live a few decades back- great show. Amazed how much this song sounds like Beach Boys composition.
It does.
this song has "the 1960's" all over it.....fantastic hit to listen to and dance to.....
Love this song & them.
always liked this song
I'm 60yr old and I think we have something in conman.
I've always loved it. I saw Gary in concert last year, an awesome show!
Me two......and this group!
Yes he is Jerry Lewis' son and still touring !!!
I just found that out tonight.
No shit 😄
No kidding!
It's been years but saw them in Corvallis Oregon...Benton County Fair....2000
He’s coming to Rochester nys on the Fourth of July 2021

Great classic song! Love it💝💝💝
Great music representing fond memories.
They played at our class reunion when we turned 50. Meadowdale high in Dayton OH.
Great band.
Wish I had been in your class!! Class of 1968 here. Way down South.
@@ronaldt491 Gary Lewis and wore identical band collar white shirts that night. I asked him to play my old girlfriend’s favorite song. But he said they didn’t take requests. Ron ---, who is wealthy paid Gary $10,000 and Gary put the cash in his shoe.

Why can't music be like this now?
Soy boi momma babies being raised.
Gary did a terrific job stepping out of the shadow of his famous father, Jerry, and was a great songwriter and musician.
So many fun songs...
As a Black male, I am very sorry that both gentlemen are dead.
so underappreciated......timeless songs!
I saw Gary Lewis in Harrisburg, Pa. at one of the city's summer events. He and the band still sounded great! I liked this song since the first time I heard it.
This song was co-written, arranged and co-produced by Leon Russell. He was not satisfied with the instrumental on the original track so he went in, wiped it out and laid down that killer guitar solo. A lot of people associate him with the piano (well he was great on it) but don't realize he was a really good guitarist too. Even more amazing, is he that had some paralysis, on his right side, due to a birth injury and it took him a year to be able to use a pick properly. The more I have learned about him, the more impressed I am.
Thanks! I worked as a guitarist and guitar teacher for years and I always wondered about that solo. That guitar solo was a great inspiration to me before I began playing.
Yes, Leon was the Master of Time and Space ......
Love, Love, Love the great oldies .....thank you for the great memories;;
My fav from Gary Lewis and the playboys . Such a great song.
Rock from the start to very early 70's was the best period . imo
steve wakeham I agree!
@Ray Sagastiano Good point- after the Beatles had broken up, I remember soft rock was quite popular (and for me, disappointing) and there was this sense that the 60's spirit as a whole had been replaced by a certain blandness which would be replaced by the next R'n'R 'revolution' of the late 70's, which was based on the 50's and mid 60's- shorter songs (and hair), strong melodies and hooks and fun, fun, fun.
I here this the song on the the radio
They had a lot of great hits, love this group !
This song always reminds me of my brother - he used to sing this all the time when he was in his younger days. I had forgotten how much I liked these guys - Jerry Lewis gave us more than just some good laughs.
Had this record along with This Diamond Ring. Wore them out playing them over and over.
Hello Marie, How are you doing?
Love Gary Lewis and Playboys. I loved his voice and his songs. I still listen to him.
This was one of my favorite songs when I was a very young man. 😥😄👍
Me, too; and I was born in 1953.
