  • good old band..

    poor man's beatles..

  • Now this IS music Created in a era you CAN't go wrong with. Now I will start singing!

  • ALWAYS loved this song! This was back in the day when harmony and all vocals were REAL..no digital "fixing" ..It's so nice to finally find this song on here!

  • Never got to see/hear many "Brits" (never been to but love England!), but was blessed to have seen some American groups in one concert during that era...The Left Banke, Harpers Bizarre, The Critters, and Mandala...good stuff...Tunesmith

  • One of the most beautiful songs ever written of all time in my book. It's just...nice. Plain and simple. No deep message other than I'm crazy about ya babe. You are the best in my book and I love you.

  • @Barking914 So smooth, mellow, likeable, and a joy to listen to, it relaxes the mind.

  • I would probably marry the guy that sings me songs like this.

  • Darn, if this doesn't have a Beatles sound! Wow, what a john lennon sound alike!

  • @rolandrog Baffling. I have never heard the DC5 sound the least like the Beatles, and Mike Smith, in particular, doesn't sound at all like John Lennon. 

  • simplemente sensacional grande fue este grupo que dio la epoca llamada la ola inglesa

  • today they call it music, its not music to me, i think its just a lot of noise.

  • @hunkydude322 you're an idiot

  • I have always loved this song.

  • hey you@billsgwn whatz your problem huh? dave clark 5 were in a totally realm as eminem, how could such a statement even be made about those 2??? imma and heard almost all of the golden oldies from my 3 fav decades of all time 60's 70's 80's!!!!! but you got a screw loose to try and put the em man and the dave clark5 he happened to be a huge sell and i will tell you his tunes talk to very real issues of the times, he is 1 of the best from his time, i just can't get comparing the 2 is all PEACE!!

  • my daughter asks me "dad, why do you always listen to mostly classic rock"? as soon as they start making music on this level again, I'm there

  • Simple, clear, intelligent lyrics sung with beautiful harmony from voices that stood on their own. A song that I NEVER get tired of listening to, even decades later. So very few songs I can actually say that about!!

  • So glad this music is coming back, nothing else like it. Talented musicians and gifted singers that made us all feel good 50 years ago . We are so fortunate to have them today because there is little else to listen to. However; I would be listening to them anyway!!

  • Great song.......The music of the 60's was the best....Not like the garbage music today

  • THE DAVE CLARK FIVE WERE THE BEST OF ALL GROUPS FROM THE 60S!

  • I loved to hear this again, thank you : )

  • just found an old ticket stub from the sixties $2 back then to see one fab band....Mike Smith kick butt...they sound just like their records,,,

  • When they came here in '64 I had their first album. Went to my grandmother's house where we kids rolled up the carpet and danced and twisted to the music. Watching my 4'10" butterball Grandma twist was a scream. Happy Days, sure.

  • Love this song! Thanks for posting.

  • Always loved this melody. DC5 really showed their harmony skills on this one. My favorite song of DC5. This reminds me of the uncomplicated music and when melody ruled!

  • I remember this song when I had the surgery on my heel, and its always been a reminder of those times to me.

  • I have always like this song. Just Because.

  • The DC5 songs are so great, i love their songs!

  • a GREAT song by the DC5, always my favorite....great photos of the group, thanks for sharing.

  • dave clark at 17 years old was told by his producer not to release this song because it would ruin the band's image as hard driving rockers. dave clark insisted. the producer released it and the older guy apologized to the kid.

  • Hello...I know...my opinion plus three dollars will buy a small coffee these days...but that being said...they looked great...dressed great...sang great...OOOPS!...forgot...does­n't matter these days...Bless the DC Five...Dave Clark...Mike Smith...back in the days when we had singers and musicians instead of yellers and noisicians...Tunesmith

  • @tunesmith09 amen bro....

  • webmastered knows his stuff

  • At one time, it was the Beatles and The Dave Clark Five. They faded into the sunset. And the last I heard, Dave Clark, living in Spain, fell off the roof of his house and broke his back. If he can ever get this message, God Bless You for this wonderful music.

  • @bsstrr1 Actually, it was Mike Smith, the keyboardist and lead singer, who suffered the spinal injury. And, sadly, Mr. Smith passed away just days before the Dave Clark Five was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

  • quiero decirles a todos los que vivimos esta epoca cuando se escuchaban estas canciones que la magia de la radio nos transportaba a donde nuestra imaginacion nos llevaba y si estabamos enamorados era una ilusion muy bonita. Gracias a todos los musicos de esa epoca

  • Dave Clark 5 or Eminem? How can we produce such garbage today and nothing like Dave Clark 5?

  • @billsgwn Paraphrasing Petula Clark, it's just a sign of the times for the last 30+ years! What do you expect from even "adults" who grew up their whole lives on being dumbed down past the point of idiocy? The last two or three generations wouldn't know what good or great music REALLY is if it was staring them in the face. How pathetic when you call a total lack of (musical) talent "great" or even "good." Makes me want to gag, not cry.

  • @billsgwn hey i agree with you but don't we sound like our father , my father use to call the beatles , those beat nixs, hahahahahahah

  • @billsgwn In the world of computer programming there is a philosophy and truth know as "Garbage In/Garbage Out" This holds true in the real world also. "Garbage In" public office and we get "Garbage Out" from the population.

  • Truth is the DC5 led the British Invasion. They were touring the U.S. a full year ahead of the Beatles but the Beatles did Ed Sullivan first.

  • of today...lol..

  • i was 2 !.. Nice words, unlike some, most of the garbage they call music/mindcontrol.

  • Love this song, I put it twice in my 60s playlist! LOL!

  • great group with a great sound, too long they didn't last longer, but their music is timeless!

  • when I was in my early teens I used to listen to songs of the sixties and i love most of them and Dave Clark 5 was one of my fave....and now i am in my late 50s i still love listening to their songs bcos they brought back wonderful memories ...

  • 12_09_11 - I am 58 1/2 years old.

    I read the papers, watch the news and surf the internet. I email, text, IPod, IPad,IPhone.

    I crush all my CD's down to MP3's.

    I take 8megapixel digital images with my cell phone.

    I drive an air conditioned car with seat belts and voice activated hands free telephone.

    I'D GIVE IT ALL UP TO GO BACK TO THESE DAYS!

  • I love these songs. These were the first songs I ever heard. Even though born in '87, my dad would play these all the time when I was a kid. I literally grew up with these songs. They bring back good memories.

  • In some ways, a very successful band in that their business dealings were favorable to them. Also, not the least, they have remained friends to this day.

  • I'll jump in too and admit this is also my favorite DC5 song. Even with all their great music, how could this song not be at the top of the list? Beautiful.

  • I love this song...I had no idea DC 5 sang it! I came accross this by accident...lol..

    Thanks for posting!

  • Not to be a copycat, but this is MY favorite DC5 song, too! I think it stands as one of the great love songs of the 60's. Yesterday, Sometime in the Morning, World Without Love, Happy Just to Dance With You, A Kind of Hush.....the hits just keep on coming.

  • I AGREE!! SWEET LOVE SONG. I STILL GET TEARY EYED AS I LISTEN TO THIS SONG.ALWAYS MY FAV DC5 SONG. SURE LOVED MIKE'S VOICE. RIP MIKE!!

  • I LOVED THE DC5 AS A TEENAGER.GREAT PICS!!! THIS IS MY FAV SONG BY THEM!! RIP MIKE!!

  • in the early and mid sixties my father was transfered to northern France and the family followed.i was 12 years old,and had received a transistor radio as a Christmas gift. it picked up all the british stations and all day i would listen to herman s hermits,gerry and the pacemakers,the beatles... however my favorites were always the Dave Clarke Five. now t hat i m in my late 50 s i truly relish those great songs.

  • @etebas12 I know a dj from wfdu that picks the dc 5 as his favorite group when sid bernstein put the beatles in carneige hall the audience was jumping on their seats rock groups were banned from carneige hall bernstein had to put the DC 5 in the brooklyn paramount

  • @etebas12 when I was 12 my pet bat was killed when my sister backed my parents' car over her while she was washing it.This song was playing. I will always miss Michelle.

  • @etebas12 I remember them too. Of course, the dominant force was the beatles. I liked Petula Clark also. I'll be 59 in April.

  • @etebas12 This was back in my youth too! We use to have a "shower of stars" in B'ham, AL and they would have 10 or 12 big names. They sounded exactly the same in person as on the radio! It's not that way these days. I've heard stars lower the key just to sing their own songs! We might be older..but we got to hear all the GOOD bands! I'm 57 and rarely hear this kind of harmony. If you like country, check out The Zac Brown Band..great harmonies!

  • It always reminds me of someone who fancied me but I couldnt get over my awful shyness , she was lovely to.

  • I've always loved the organ in the background---most of the time. I also liked the sort of heavy drumming on what is, after all, a grinder. As a Beatles fan, I often wondered why they didn't do a slow song with heavy percussion---it's a great mixed-metaphore. I'm 58, and about three years ago, I had my "EGAD" moment. Of course, they did---after this. The song is called "In My Life". You may know it (that's a joke). Listen to Ringo, going nuts.

  • wow, i love it mon....

  • 1 of the best songs i heard when i was a kid 1960"s

  • Rest in Peace sweet man. So glad I got to meet you and have a photo and ab autograhed photo. For those who don;t know he fell off a ladder and was paralyzed abd after years yb a hospital and ready to go hom, he passed from pnumonia``Peter Noone od Herman's Hermits was so supportive of Mike and his wife Charley. Their is a website. Just try Mike Smith Fan club website

  • @calrugbygal I'm glad to hear that about Peter Noone being so supportive. I didn't know that. This band just kicked ass. Anyway you want it is my favorite, and it rarely gets played. I guess I'll have to read up on Mike Smith's last few years. I know there was a benefit concert for him. What a fantastic rock voice. RIP joel in tucson

  • catchy tune.......this is one of those songs that will stick in your head. good post !

  • Esta es una preciosa canción,pero "This Boy" la supera,esta es autentica,desgarrada y que leches!canta Lennon!!!!.Esto lo digo porque esta claramente influenciada.

  • Great song! This should've been a Beatles song... ;)

  • @theirishinc Why should it have been a Beatles song ? Is it because they harmonized like them? LOL

  • @theirishinc It was obvious that the Beatles had a huge influence on many groups of that era. It is just nice to hear them all on You Tube.

  • great song from the great Dave Clark 5!

  • One of the BEST songs coming out of the "British Invasion" era....thanks for posting these rare gems of the DC5. ^/^

  • Now I wouldn't say that! They are good I'll like them too, But not Better.

  • The DC5 was a much better band and did better material than the Beatles.

  • @troopie091 HAHAHA.......that's a good one. For a second there I thought you were serious!

  • Just to be here with you! Great song...

    Nice posts which bring me back. Thanks.

  • Something about this song always gives me chills. It has that British Invasion bounciness but is very dark at the same time. So sad that the keyboard player passed away 2 weeks before being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, even though they were supposed to be inducted the year before but Grandmaster Flash got the honor instead...wtf?

  • WOW such beauty in lyrical form do THE DAVE CLARK FIVE here with "BECAUSE" It pleads out ward and in ward for resolution some say it came some say it never resolved Which ever way it is still a song that is as great as any other love song / ballad in ANY era.... Joe Nania a.k.a. Hollywood Joe

  • In the summer of 1964 my family was on vacation in Arkville and Margaretville, Upstate New York when this came on my uncle Gus' car radio...my dad Frank said it was a good song....reminde him of the Bing Crosby era....Joe nania a.k.a. Hollywood Joe

  • I think I read at the time that one of their early hits made them the first British group to hit number one on the British pop charts during the Beatles early run at the top.

  • bella, bella y nada que ver con las voces de los BEATLES.

  • bella, bella ynada que ver con las voces de los BEATLES.

  • I think it's the best the DC5 ever released. For me it ranks up with Beatles, "Yesterday"

  • @nulyfree48 Couldn't agree more. Sweet melody, excellent execution. Very sweet on the ears. Reminds me of my girlfriend way back in Sept '64 in NYC!!

    Great Days

  • we shared the stage with them in 1964 in New York

  • My second favorite British invasion group. The Beatles being the first. I was never a Rolling Stones fan. These guys gave The Beatles a run for their money. They had 14 albums in North America in Canada they were on Capitol Records and the States were Epic Records. In England they only had 6 albums because the British only released 1 album a year were as the Americans were 2 to 3 albums a year. They were a great band and had allot of hits between 1963 to 1968.

    They made one movie.

  • Sweet sounds from a sweet time in my life. Loved this song the minute I heard it and still do. The Dave Clark Five were a wonderful group of young men with style, class and manners.

    Denis and Mike, I miss you terribly.

  • everyone thinks it was the" rolling stones" that were the biggest rival against "the Beatles in the early days but is was really the "dave clark five "

  • one of the best songs to come out of the 60's

  • someday i can sing this to somebody who will return the feelings ... she's yet to be found, y'know

  • Nice voices...nice song...nice group! Where are they now?

  • definately one of the best songs of DC5. listened to these guys for many a day!

  • God rest Mike Smith...one of the sexiest men ever alive. What happened to these men of class and sweet, sweet voices?

  • this great song brings back memory's of my teenage days

  • love this song so much one of my favorites

  • You produced great sound of the best ballad to come out of the entire British Invasion. Thanks for a great sounding upload.

  • WOW...Allways luffed this 1 !!!

  • Wonderful song by these well deserved Hall of Famers! Thanks!

  • "Because" is one of those old love songs that will be one of my favorites forever.
