[kinkybeatle]

So great......

[guy373]

You should've heard them playing Gimme Some Lovin' and I'm a Man and their Yardbirds stuff before becoming irresistible. And that's Georges Arvanitas on organ, but Jimmy can play it no sweat.

[Kintamayama]

I'm looking for an email address of a band member. Can someone help?

[Rachegotter]

Isn't this the Montlhéry circuit?

[country8724]

@Rachegotter Oui, tourné sur le circuit de Monthléry en France.

The Guy in Yellow is my Dad

[pmroveda]

Les Irresistibles were going to high school at the American School in Paris, I believe, and I was going to Marymount in Bougival, and I still have their 45. I was sooo in love!!

[arenawalleye]

Yep. We were at ASP.

[jolf1245]

Um. I think I, um, can resist. Yes, I think I definitely can. ;)

[eppomanta]

This melody song writer is french.

[eppomanta]

Merci William Sheller pour la composition de cette superbe mélodie !

[1UNUN]

SUPERBE CLIP D'époque !!!!!!!!!

[BlueKyne]

This may have been a bit before my time, but I dig it! You don't hear the harpischord in rock/pop music these days, do you?!

[EmpressZ1]

No harpsichord--that was Steve McMains Hammond organ,

[BlueKyne]

I stand corrected! Listening to this song again, I hear it! How could I have made a silly mistake like that?!

[arenawalleye]

No, it was Jim.

[jimadri75]

this song is really good are u kidding (orange guy is my dad)

[EmpressZ1]

So who remembers their concept Ip, "Baxter Williams"?? I still have it. And they were the Irresistibles BEFORE the BELOVED ONES--that was a name given to attract British response.  Any other old ASP'ERS OUT THERE?

[Sylviajr92]

Hi there ! Yes I'm an old ASP !..... I knew them at the cantine at lunch time ! I used to listen this song on and on.... I probably still have the record in a box in the basement !

[EmpressZ1]

What grade(s) were you in? It really was a lifetime ago, wasn't it?

[Sylviajr92]

Hi ! I was attending the "special english" class and was not really in a grade. It was in 1968. You will find many old ASPers on Facebook. I found 2 friends there ! The group was one year older than us. But it was a great period !!!

[arenawalleye]

What year? Were you the person who knocked over the frites dish? I was mistakenly blamed for this misdead and banned from the canteen for a week.

[Sylviajr92]

Oh ! No.... I would have never done such a thing ! ... Can you imagine how hard it was for me to be in a french school, dying to go at ASP and get closer to my american brothers and sisters ?? By the way, the food was awfull !

[eppomanta]

Je classe ''My Year is a Day'' parmi les 10 plus belles chansons au monde jamais écrites, après ''God only knows'' + '' Good Vibrations'' des Beach Boys, ''Nights in White Satin'' des Moody Blues, ''While My Guitar gently weeps'' des Beatles (Harrison) et ''Je t'aime Moi non Plus'' de Gainsbourg....

Pour ''My Year is a Day'', Merci à William Sheller (le compositeur).

[Freddiestillalive]

it sends shivers down my spine, amazing time the 60s and the 70s

[tristandespres]

Had not heard this since 1968, in Paris... As a kid, I used to really like this song!!! Brings back many memories. Man do I feel old !

Tristan

[deadxkorps]

Does anyone have "Sunshine and You" ?

I've been looking for this song for years and never had the luck to find it...

[Aniious]

I've got this MP3 ! I can send you by mail if you want ...?

[deadxkorps]

Thanks! I sent you a message with y e-mail. :-)

[krikri41]

william Sheller est vraiment doué

bonne année 2009!

[Qualpumping]

The song sucked but the Triumph TR5s were good

[mayron06300]

Que du bonheur!!c'est magique ..ah!! souvenirs souvenirs

[Qualpumping]

Who care about the song I love the 3 TR5s in the video and yes TR5s not TR4s

[tranchedepavaroti]

William Sheller dans ses premières oeuvres...Il est,d'ailleurs,le compositeur de ce magnifique slow....

[Rottenriguez]

Such a great song! Thanks for posting.

[Jolatomate]

Whaaouhh ! Les TR4 ! Je ressent d'autant plus l'émotion de ce scopitone que j'ai conservé ma vieille Spitfire de l'époque... Souvenirs, souvenirs, je trouve les Irresistibles toujours aussi irrésistibles !

Merci pour ce clip sympa

Jo.

[RomainLyn]

Magnifique chanson et scopitone amusant !!

Ahhh ! La douce mélodie d'une ligne inox d'une TR4A, gavée par les Stromberg, est toute aussi jouissive ....

My yeeeear is a day ....la la la

[starmansss]

J'ai 35ans et je viens de découvrir cette chanson, j'adore, c'est magique, quelle orchestration, je kiff grave!!!!!!! wouah!!!

[EmpressZ1]

I absolutely cannot believe this exists! Does anyone remember the LP "Baxter Williams" that they did? I went to the American School of Paris with the twin's younger brother..anyone else remember ASP in the very late 60's??

[doriansol]

I love this song!!!

one of the best, the melody is very exciting.

[moranemorane]

Very beautiful song which makes me think of my memories youth

[aeitan57]

Great song, how can I find this soundtrack ? (to buy of course)

[moranemorane]

I don't know

[moranemorane]

Very beautiful song which makes me think of my memories youth

[sixtiesrecords]

A finest sixties'hightlight.

[BaudeLaire78]

great song! It makes me feel nostalgic even if I was born 15 years later!!!

[discomatador]

Fantastic! Reminds me of the Walker Brothers in its

epic qualities. The racetrack is Montelhery. This

song like all the classic elements really stand the test of time. Superb song!

[Heewack77]

Wes Anderson, eat your heart out

[rasboras]

Brilliant song, funny video..

[SfDoal]

It was a big hit in Israel in the spring of 1969; very memorable song from an era that has gone forever...

[nyr14r]

this music was written by the french William Sheller :) proud to be french Xd

[CALZOLA]

When I watch this video I remember my TRIMPH TR4 (white):I was 20 ! Why must we get old ,o my Lord ?

[acid37]

moi aussi, ça me rappelle ma Triumph TR4A irs (blanche)

[CALZOLA]

Merci ! C'était le bon vieux temps !

[MacGrurry]

this is on par with the scope of The Animals "House of the Rising Sun" check it out. truly Scopitones need more exposure

[explorer45]

Merci pour cette si belle chanson

[mmcdono908]

I went to High School with these guys and in 1969-70, they were one of the hottest groups in France. Brings back lots of memories.

[arenawalleye]

We were gone by then. Graduated in 1969.

[mmcdono908]

any idea where one might download a copy of the Baxter Williams LP?

[PapillonJunkie]

Excellent !!!

I've just posted a LIVE version from this great song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=4tFwEPa5HjY

[MacGrurry]

this has ben removed. what gives?

[ChezLesYeYe]

Cool stuff. Believe it or not, this was a US group originally named the Dearly Beloved that moved to France, in the same way as the Rokes from the UK made a career in Italy.

[thomas500]

Must be sponserd by Triumph. Great odd 60's stuff! Thanks for charing.

[eye2000]

thank you for this great video

[BootPatrol]

From what I've been taught, this is one of the best French Scopitones ever made, and now, upon seeing it, I have to agree, it's very, very good.

Truly one of the best, if not the best!
