This song was another of so many wonderful songs

Great song to sing along with a carload full of friends ..with the top down on the convertible.

On the Billboard Charts it reached the high spot of # 4 ..week of Sept 5 1964

[atli1000]

These songs make me miss my waisted youth. Not the waisted part; just my youth. I feel sorry for the kids of today; you missed a golden age.

[margot9230]

One hit wonder.....she should have done more.;;;;;;;;

[johnrk556]

Gale Garnett was fantastic. And all they have today is Lady Gaga - sad.

[genericgeorge]

Sunny melody set to a dark lyric. Shacking up before flower power. And the fundies probably sang along to it blissfully unawares

[knowallcity]

This was what every kid in Catholic school dug..and no shame!

[sportbigred]

Gale Garnett sang in the Rankin/Bass animated production: Mad Monster Party (mid 60's)

[lazur1]

She looks like trouble for real.

[ArnoldSommerfeld]

Classic song.

[greg1lewin]

SixtiesPopGold - thanks for posting. But what do you mean, "this isn't my kind of music"? Good music isn't your kind of music? Come on!

[desert3347]

Being in High School when this record was Popular, I never knew what

Gayle Looked Like......fine looking.......

[5beetlebopper1]

Awesome song.

[oldiesbutgoodies67]

Gale Garnett reminds of us Jim Morrison and the Doors...Dan O'Niallain, Grafton, Ma.

[london2z]

@oldiesbutgoodies67 Huh? And I remind people of Peter Pan.

[UnseenCaller]

Yeah, I just realized this old song from my childhood is about a ho. Funny.

[harvey1954]

If you think the lyrics of this tune are out there try Gale's Prism Song which is kids singing about mom murdering dad.

[ruben1million]

Now this IS music, damn it!!!

[Pobnifus]

"Fornication"? Muhahahahahahahahaha!!!

It's about what a woman had to do to remain independent before feminism.

It's still true.

[CrispinRobles]

I've always hated this song. The lyrics are foolish.

[wregerg1]

@CrispinRobles no salt on her tail

[125jlm]

@CrispinRobles Yup. I've thought the same thing since this song came out.

[OldDunc]

It's funny to see people being nostalgic for "nice music like this" when the song is about fornication! "Living in sin" (a quaint old phrase that still makes me giggle)! This woman is just an alleycat (ditto)! I don't see that as a bad thing myself, but presumably the complainers do. Is it okay as long as you have pretty flute music and euphemize the subject? Just wondering.

This is an old favorite song of mine, by the way; I'm not writing to put it down.

[57highland]

@OldDunc As far as people longing for the white-bread old days, while the song here is about fornication, I think what so often happened back then is that they sang about all the same dirty things as they do today, but they made it sound so much nicer. In other words, it wasn't what they said, it was how they said it.

[deaddoc]

@57highland It isn't as if people didn't have affairs before computers were invented. Some of the ideas of today's young are so much more pathetic than any generations preceding. Agree with you, even murder can be made to sound beautiful. Remember Tom Dooley?

[57highland]

@deaddoc Think I could have said it better; I'll try again: They left something to the imagination back then; today, not so much. Yes, I've heard of "Tom Dooley" and also "Hey Joe" ("Where you going with that gun in your hand?")

[ConservativeAnthem]

This is a weird song...very dysfunctional.

[NoRosesForMe]

no...wait...the album was "my Kind Of Folk Songs"...??......ah crap I dunno....but its a good album. She sang some deep blues on there. Didnt expect that. Very southernish.....was she from the south? ...ill look her up on wikipedia hehe! Youve made me laugh and smile. I needed that thanks again.

[NoRosesForMe]

I understand this isnt your kind of music....haha....I think that was the title of this album.."My Kind of Music"...?.....I still have the album....somewhere....wow....b­ut thank you for sharing this with the world. Im 12 again,. Im younger and singing along again and remembering little things that meant a lot. Peace to ya.

[cocavecrawler]

This was one of the last Hootenanny songs. I think the last one was "You Were On My Mind." Hootenanny = folk song style popular in the late 50s,, early 60s.

[chilitoday]

Who knows why this was a hit, but she sings much of with flat pitch. The lyrics are weirdl but that sets it apart

[genericgeorge]

@chilitoday a simple catchy chorus thats why

[59jimkay]

I was 'baffled' by this lady's '(cold hearted'!) lyrics, even at the tender age of 12 or 13 (I had a girlfriend tho...) Made me sad. Still sounds sad./? Maybe the harmonica?? (I became a harmonica-player).

[4wdRam]

@59jimkay I agree with you about the cold hearted lyrics. Thats the sadness in the song for me.

[66buff]

Back in the '70's there was a tv ad for an oldies lp feat.this song.As a snippet of each song was played they showed a pic of each artist.When this song was played they showed a pic of a middle age lady looking like Jo Ann Castle from the Lawrence Welk show.I always associated that pic w/the song and listening to it it does sound like an older voice.I was quite shocked a few years later and seen the real Gale Garnett on the lp cover being sold on ebay.I wonder who the other lady from the ad was.

[flakbac]

3 tv channels,records tv not even color yet if you can remember that your gettin up there

[lsmpw]

Lyrics are kinda bitchy?

[vcx9dfne]

They played anything back then. Even this.

[Harry44Callahan2]

wow...you used to be able to watch shows on tv with nice music like this? Today's crap makes you miss those days so much.

[discoqueen1970]

@Harry44Callahan2 Yes, we did. We sat around our black and white TV's and enjoyed the hell out of life. Today, you run and hide from it. I don't regret growing up when I did. It was so simple then. I would give anything to go back, even for an hour.

[schrap72]

Love her and the song!

[elmerfusco]

Dean Martin did a good cover of this song.

[forvee03]

"Mother" in SF as a DJ on a rock radio station. Great lady.

[professordumbledorf]

This is a false rumor about Bobby's death. He is alive and well!

[estelle715]

A very different type of song,most love songs you get married and lived forever after,but,not this. A very strange ending,where she goes away and leaves the guy after only a yr. I always wondered,does that means she's going to spend her life roaming around,and picking guys up? And dropping them,and never fall in love and settle down?What happens when she's old and no guy wants her,what will she do then?Yes, I had these questions at the age of 13 when this song 1st came out!

[linear23]

Simple times/ simple songs. Brings back happy memories of 60's 70's childhood in Toronto Canada.

[trilobite541]

@linear23 Wish I could remember the 60's and 70's.........

[rbanda1234]

good song!

[rorigiles]

Logging in from Wellington, New Zealand. Although Gale had retired from the music business by the 1980s, she continued appearing in feature films (such as 2002's My Big Fat Greek Wedding and on television shows, usually in supporting roles. In subsequent years, she also branched out into journalism, writing essays, columns, and book reviews for various newspapers and magazines. She also wrote and performed two one-person theater pieces, Gale Garnett & Company and Life After Latex.

[amaiznme222]

i liked this too, and i know what you mean, ILoved it too.  it sings to and of the Love in your heart our hearts that are hearts of Love. I still love all of them. they are living and make your chest heeve up so high!! God is Love. ♥♥♥

[zowlik]

Along with being a talented singer, Gale also wrote this song, wrote books and plays and was an actress to boot. A true renaissance lady.

[nellie2581]

The best song!

[MrRonnieG]

Gale Garnett was 22 years old when she recorded this in 1964.

[VASINGER]

Her voice reminds me of... Patsy Cline !

[JubalCalif]

THANKS for posting this footage! I've always loved the song! Gale is a very talented singer and a beautiful lady. Have a happy weekend! :-)

[MrJetaime555]

Thank you Zooey!

I see where her inspiration comes from. (I wonder if this inspired "In The Sun")

[johnnyfarout]

I am mezmerized still today. 40 years ago, Sunday.

[melodiantime]

THE MAGIC OF YOU TUBE, FIRST I FOUND A PICTORIAL POSTING OF THIS, NOW TO FIND AN ACTUAL VIDEO PERFORMANCE BY GALE, WHO I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN BEFORE, IS A REAL TREAUSRE FIND. KEEP THE GOOD OF THE NEW TALENT PROGRESSING, BUT DON' T FORGET THE BEST MEMORIES OF THE PAST.

[melodiantime]

SO BEAUTIFUL, I WAS BORN IN 1962 AND NEVER HEARD THIS UNTIL MY MID-FORTIES, PICKED UP ON IT, FROM A COMPILATION CD IN MY COLLECTION, WHERE MANY GEMS ARE FOUND FROM ALL GENRES. I' M A PROFESSIONAL, MOBILE DJ, WITH A PASSION FOR MUSIC WHICH GOES BEYOND KNOWLEDGE OF THE USUAL PARTY FAVOURITES. ONCE DISCOVERED, I FIRST PLAYED THIS SONG AT A LOCAL NURSING HOME, TO THE APPROVAL OF THE RESIDENTS, IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL MOMENT, FOR THE ELDERLY RESIDENTS AND ALSO FOR ME, IN MY DJ CAREER. THANKS TO GALE.

[vanislefan]

@melodiantime

Well, I was 14 when this came out in 1964, in the summer I believe, and man alive it just bowled me over for months and months.. still one of the all-time classics and its message is so interesting. She wrote the piece, was born in Australia but moved to Canada when she was 11.

[roaringwaterbay]

is this considered a country song?

[friendlier]

@roaringwaterbay Wikipedia says it was a Country Top 50 hit. Which means probably a #43 or something! But it was #4 on the Billboard pop charts.

[desert3347]

@roaringwaterbay  Not "Country". I still have the 45 & it was considered a Folk Rock

type of Song******everyone loved it!

[VASINGER]

@desert3347 Folk= Country.

[MrJetaime555]

@roaringwaterbay more folk

[ahdowns]

I remember this song playing on the radio in 1964 right after I graduated from high school and people said it was a " dirty song", because they took it that she was going to live with him for a year, which wasn't all that commom at that time. The world has really changed!!! I always thought she did a really good job on this song. Thanks for posting.

[ladbrady]

Y do so many of your videos have those LINES!!!!!?????

[ravnmad1958]

beautiful song we will always Love you Gale

[MassaJim]

She really was pretty, wasn't she. I remember hearing this song when I was 14 thinking, that some old warhorse was probably singing it. Boy was I wrong!

[murfxyz]

pretty song from a very pretty lady!

[JGCooney]

If you look at Helen Reddy's episode of the Muppet Show, not only will you hear this song, but whenever Kermit tries to introduce "Helen Reddy", the crew says "no we're not!"

[JGCooney]

Great song! Helen Reddy did this on the Muppet Show.

[leeleebaby2100]

Pretty progressive song for so long ago. Never thought it was groundbreaking, but now, I see that it was. Go Gale.

[mudbonehancock]

Love is hard.

[growver10]

She's lipsynching to the single version of the song. The album version has the phrase ". . . and I'll LIVE with you one year", the single ". . . and I'll STAY with you one year". Some things you couldn't say on the radio (or tv) in 1963/64. Always loved her voice, and her style.

[Moray747]

Know this song quite well, first time I've seen a video of Ms. Garnett, thank you You Tube

[MacGrurry]

this lad could be my mom and lull me to sleep with her voice every nite

[tonyf734atl]

I've got to say that Gale is one remarkable singer...love her voice and music very much!

[vanislefan]

One of the great songs of the 60's. I was 14 and Gail's beautiful voice haunted the airwaves all summer long. Still affects me...

[tussahrr1]

Can we say "Lip Synch"?

[51anon51]

sad song

[lgcrooks]

Born in New Zealand. Moved to Canada in the 50's. Recorded this in about 1964. I remember it well, and fondly.

[KC5E]

Some of the best music ever came out in '64.

[MedEsq]

@KC5E True, often forgotten

[bazzaus]

Too bad her sexy eyes are covered up some of the time, but her deep voice is great.

[qb62ndmaintbn1967]

The summer of 1964-no need to say anything more!

[genericgeorge]

@qb62ndmaintbn1967 classic time for music for sure
