POP GEAR (1965) - [4of8]

[DoctorScrumpy]

The only man Frank Sinatra said he would pay money to hear sing. That looks ok on a resume !

[williamgatesenson]

video ends @5:35

[flan453]

Hermans Hermits were shite without Peter Noone.

[HEARTHEANGELSVOICES]

SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THIS HUMPTY DUMPTY GUY ISN'T FOR REAL!

[wmg1958]

@HEARTHEANGELSVOICES Yeah but listen to the guitar, tone and attack are very similar to (& predate) Stevie Ray Vaughn, so the guy knew his Blues. Such a great, classic Fender Strat sound. Most of these guys were playing hollow body guitars (Gretsch, Gibson, Epiphone) which are warm and bluesy, or Burns which were the James Bond guitar but man, that Fender "quack" is something altogether different and remarkable. Good to hear someone who loved it enough to buck the trend.

@nyrainbow2

Where do all these videos come from? Are they part of a DVD by any chance?

[PuzzlingEvidenceTV]

"From Russia with Love"!

[chenarch]

Matt Munro was basically the British Sinatra, but never had the critical-mass Sinatra had. He recorded some great songs.

[Imachowderhead]

When music was real

[duhhh187]

[squeeze54]

@duhhh187 gay? i don't see david bowie or george michael

[duhhh187]

[rmpfrota]

Deste bolo ai, só o herman's Hermits presta! (Only Herman's Hermits are incredible)

[CrankCase08]

It's occurred to me that all these groups are sharing the same instruments.

[MrMotownmanny]

Jack and Jill went up the hill, to feach a pail of water. Jack fell down, and he broke his crown, and Jill came tumbling after. Whooo, Whooo, Whooo,Whoooooo.

[j43ms]

@overandout58

depends what i had though, don't it?

[MrMotownmanny]

Whoooh, Whooooh, Whooooh, Whoooooh, Whoooooooh.

[MrMotownmanny]

The itsy bitsy Spider went up the water spout, Down came the rain and washed the Spider out. Out came the Sun that dried up the Rain, The Itsy Bitsy Spider went up the spout again. Wooooh, Woooh.

[JPandCo]

I'm into something good was covered by Ria Bartok in French... both versions are greaaaat

[MrMotownmanny]

I was 16 when I met a new girl in the neighborhood. Her name was Gail. Just like the song Im into something good, I walked her home and she held my hand. I kissed her, it was my first kiss with a girl. We dated for about a year. She moved away, I cried , it was my first heart break. I found out she was killed by a drunk driver in 1989.. But I;ll never forget Gail being my first love.

[CrankCase08]

George Formby was Peter Noon's dad.

Ooer. Heh heh! It's turned out alright again, missus.

[tinman3012]

What a squirrely song. I think I'm gonna hurl...

[louder58]

Wasn't Joe Meeks involved in a whole lot of these acts? And mucho kudos for posting this movie -- very groovy and cool.

[seikyoukainoakira]

wow jimmy saville - so fecking creepy & ugly -- i went jogging with him in some charity thing when i was about 10 -- amazing how many untalented twats are/were stars

[PrinceAndrew100]

That Humpty Dumpty song is a take off from the Jamaican singer Eric Monty Morris who did it as a ska tune a couple of years earlier. The whoa part is taken from the Monty Morris version.

[CrankCase08]

Humpty Dumpty? What a stupid song. Tommy who?

[LastTree]

Not any stupider than the pop songs today.

[carpfreak1234]

@CrankCase08 no its not that thumbs up was a mistake my grandad in that humpty dumpty video the on wif the red bass leev his band alone

[CrankCase08]

Rubbish is rubbish. They should have stood for something more credible.

[Tigerpaw10]

I believe Matt Monroe also sang the theme song for the James Bond film From Russia with Love.

[vangelisideras]

matt great voice

[Chimbo65]

It `s The REMO four not Reno.

Oh dear,the things you read here.

[iangordoncraig]

Hermans Hermits: British Invasion with British teeth!

[LastTree]

Hah hah..makes him real.

[3investigators]

Matt Monroe had a lovely voice

[j43ms]

[Surfboard365]

[PuzzlingEvidenceTV]

[scarface12347]

@j43ms cause he was taking a dump and his girlfriend came by and he was like shit i need to serenade her. then he started singing and hes walking and standing so akwardly because he didnt wipe

[wmg1958]

@scarface12347 Hmmmm. I think I've figured out my son's online alter ego, which is surprisingly like his everyday self.

[HEARTHEANGELSVOICES]

@j43ms - BECAUSE HE'S FULL OF SHIT?

[wmg1958]

@j43ms You're implying that this is unusual?

[j43ms]

@wmg1958

yes. it's usually the person inside who does the singing, especially when the lock's broken.

[fiendwithoutaface66]

it's remo four not reno

[Richpete001]

Nostalgia keeps coming, full marks to nyrainbow

[psychodamned]

MATT MONROE IS JUST WONDEFUL !

[OurGangFan]

Tommy Quickly is a very cheerful lad singing a very very sad song.

[CrazyWedz]

I know. He's almost psychotic looking.

=]

[Chimbo65]

Nice to hear a different version of "Humpty Dumpty" with Tommy Quickly and The Remo Four

than the record that was a Live recording from The Liverpool Philharmonic.

Colin Manley Rest In Peace.

[StuntmanJ0hn]

Thankx Chim - How's life treating you buddy?

John

[hayef]

un grand merciiiiii

[dumbbo1]

If you ever saw the second James Bond film (with Sean Connery) "From Russia With Love", you heard Matt singing the title song. He sort of sounded like a British Frank Sinatra.

[awhitsel]

Matt only two top 40 singles in the US, but in the UK he had better success. He passed away in 1985. RIP.

[Riograndeboy]

Five stars, nyrainbow2. Thanks.

[tawn]

yay! herman's hermit!
