Thank you for this ♪♪♪♪

[09bnunez]

kieth was in jail back in the 60s, smoking marajunna, he got busted on the height of his carreer, it kill his career

[kathyjunge]

Filmed at Jungleland in Thousand Oaks, CA next to the 101 freeway. Now the site of the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza and Lakes Shopping Center, etc. Was a 170 acre site. Closed in 1960's.

[09bnunez]

he was in jail for a while, he only had 2 hits thats all!!! good singer.jail kill his career

[Helivz]

@09bnunez What was Keith in jail for, how long ago was it, and do you know the length of his sentence?

How would being in jail kill one's career?

I like Keith. His "98.6" song has many fond memories of my childhood.

[Manboobs313]

Where is this? Bad teeth on Brit singers was considered part of their charm in the 60's. See Herman of Herman & The Hermits.

[GuyinCa]

Now this rocks, I never forgot this song!

[natknox1]

The announcer has GOT to be Dick Clark. This footage looks and sounds like the show, "Where The Action Is" - I used to watch this show in the afternoons after school. Paul Revere & the Raiders were the "house band!" LOVE this clip!! Shaking my head over the hair! (My mother was SHOCKED!) ;)

[MrJeff1947]

Damn Hippies!!

[pigurine]

I remember watching this I am not lying

[LouPop13]

He's still around... ;-)

Look for this: Keith "98.6" Live 2008

[sonygipo]

lame

[mugwamp4]

hope he used some of the royalties to visit an orthodontist

[locofoco123]

I was 13 when this came out. I loved it. Still do.

[MikeBlitzMag]

I seriously doubt that Keith was concerned about how old someone was when he recorded this monster classic. Great music is timeless, and this is one of rock and roll's premier classics.

[Babyhowdy233]

THANK YOU! It is VERY hard to find videos of this terrific singer nowadays!

This song is a bona-fide CLASSIC!!

[rousse61]

This was out when I was just five years old, 1967... I remember hearing this on 93 KHJ in LA

[Danmark30]

This is such a gem of a clip, maybe somewhere the rest will turn up. This is from WHERE THE ACTION IS as you can hear it in the intro about the "action" mystery man. I dont know if that show was filmed each time at Jungleland or just this one performance, If it's the one time, then this was the day Jayne Mansfields son, Zoltan, was mauled by a lion in Jungleland.

Where are you?

Roger is looking for you.

[ltlieu61]

Its definitly Where the Action Is...with Dave Clark doing the intro...has he always did from some distant location...great song...

[liverpoolishgirl]

@ltlieu61 Dick Clark, not Dave

[SalonGalaxy]

I will say that I use to watch Keith and the Admirations rehearse in a sewer tunnell in Glenolden PA... as a kid, every now and then I would sing the high notes and impress Keith... "Ain't Gonna Lie"

[moxie96]

This loks like a bit more Where the Action IS footage but I can be wrong on that A lot of WTAI footage looks like this cropped and a very watery warpy picture

[homemoviescolorado]

I lookedt his up after finding an autograph I got from Keith while he was appearing on John Zacherly's TV Show Disc-o-Teen. I'd like to see th ewhole thing if it exists

[clkohl]

LOVE this song-- great memories

[scottbaino]

Keith looks like singer Richard Carpenter(Karen's brother).

[drbenner1]

Where it the rest of this? I want to see the whole thing!!!

[dennisandvicki]

Sad to say there is no rest of it. This clip came from keith98.6dotcom and Keith only posted a minute. Other than a YouTube clip of Keith (goes by Bazza now) singing this at an event this year, there is no full length anything. Hopefully someday!

[curtmanners01]

Same here - pity. Anyone know what station that was, who the announcer was? Gotta love the way he hit the fade on Keith's intro. Those were the days DJs were actually a part of the show. (*sigh*)

[titostacos]

Nice post.  I enjoyed every (almost a) minute of it. Thanks azitis!

[brutalyzedbytv]

& oh yeah I have always LOVED this song. It's, like, so optimistic & stuff. Lovely. Brings a tear to me eye. Where's the rest of it, reel it on out. But cut off the letterbox machine.

[brutalyzedbytv]

Right. One more time: if it ain't widescreen to begin with, don't try to "modernize" it! Just squashes the image & gives me a headache...

[zoxofzox]

damn letterboxing! distorts and ruins the image. why? WHY??!!!!!!!

[Karena49]

Great song! Always liked it.

[johno2263]

hey bazz its your next door neighbor, jay. where are you man?

[SZSearcher]

Always loved this song! Thanks for the memories!

[bikerfreak1]

I play in a band called The Modbeats.

In the mid-eighties we used to play at a bar in Hermosa Beach called The EndZone where Barry (Keith) Keifer used to bartend part time as a past time.

He got up on stage a few times a performed this song with us. A great guy and a great song.

[KellyGiftShop]

Well Thank you Keith for a nice song and being an enigma!

[JohnnyWaterbucket]

Beautiful.

[tornmask]

i finally found the vid!..though cut in half, but iz bet'tr than nut'n, still great fer me..doggonit i luuuuv dis song...ps. dis guy is hard 2 find!..du'me a solid, if u can find da rest of the vid PLEASE!!!! TANKU ;0)

[yomamadontdanz]

that is one ugly mferrrr but great i hit wonder

[keith98point6]

First time I've seen Keith other than on the cover of his 45. I remember hearing it first on WROK in the 60's. Thanks for the cool video.

[smithreg]

Thanks. I just wish there was AT LEAST 98.6 seconds more.

[Yesimustbestupid2]

That would be the medicine that would save it! -:)

[eli2lewy]

Thanks for this short video.Keep the faith!

Nuff Said.

[FritziRitz]

i never appreciated this song untill i ran a high fever....

[RoyFive]

You know, that's why I consider the song an antidote to Peggy Lee's Fever. Love should be health giving and combat fever, not create it. A lot of people would disagree with that, but that's the way I look at it.

[Yesimustbestupid2]

So, what do we feel about the Supremes, "Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart" or Martha & the Vandellas' "Heat Wave". Of course Olivia Newton-John is dying from a "Heart Attack" due to her love for some guy!

[amsedelm]

I was in grade school myself when this song came out and when I first started listening to the radio. All those songs from '66 - '67 are special to me. Thanks for the post.

[jbSoR]

This clip is a blast from the past in two ways for me. Obviously the great tune, but also, it was filmed at "Jungleland", which was an animal park in Thousand Oaks, about 45 minutes outside of L.A.. Many films using animals used them from here. What an interesting surprise for me to see this - I was in elementary school a few hundred yards up the street from Jungleland, and there in 1967 when this was a hit.

[twiggystick]

Always one to remind me of the sunny sixties. Thanks for posting it.

[fdebeuk49er]

great teeny bopper song, what happened to the rest

[alanawall]

It may be a short fragment but its just brill , thanks for posting it up.
