Cool! I've never heard this one before; great song---and it's on Buddah, the premier bubblegum label! It sounds like it was written and performed by the same team responsible for the Ohio Express's records.  Nice record player--I used to have one a lot like that!

[misssarahkay101]

Can't believe I found this! That's my dad, Ray Sutton, singing lead :) Thanks so so much for posting this, it's just wonderful to hear. He also sang lead on a song called "Summer Nights" by the same band. :)

wow, I heard this years ago. 

[winkycoon]

wow, i remember the late nights after the shows at the Baker hotel, eating french fries n gravy. what a blast from the past!

Sorry this group hasn't a wikipedia page. The bubblegum music page says they would switch studio musicians around & form a new band for each single.

[RunRipredRun]

Thank you, i searched it for such a long time !

It was one of my favorite songs (long, long gone)

[RaymondTVinyl]

@RunRipredRun So glad U found a memory. That's what its all about my friend!

[LCRV1]

Raymond, Could you post the flip side...I loved the song on the back...thanks

[903davesharonpoky]

Too bad I am so hearing impaired that I cannot distinguish what a great sound this record is from this video.

[LadyOfMaine]

I remember buying this record in Kresge's music dept on New Year's Eve in 1968, when I was 12.

Still have it.

[howtoplanaparty]

@LadyOfMaine Kresge's!

[rogerontheoldtraps]

Would you consider adding the flip side, On a Summer Night? The guys also released this song under the name Sugar Canyon. Thanks!

[pastel86z]

I remember seeing them in the late sixties on an obscure show called " scene 70" . i also remember they had Ohio express doing" mercy".

[spudwas]

A direct in-line transfer would definitely be appreciated!

[RaymondTVinyl]

Nope. Won't happen. My channel is about sharing the sound of vintage players. Thanks for watching.

[prstone68]

please put on the b side of this single on your you tube...on a summers night...i love it...thanks

[rogerontheoldtraps]

In fact, the lead singer on this song is NOT Joey Levine but is Ray Sutton originally from Weatherford, Texas. Just for the record...no pun intended!

[RaymondTVinyl]

YAY!! Thank U so much for this info. I'll correct my info bit right now!! Did he sing on any other Buddah records?? I'm amazed how much he sounds like Joey!!

[rogerontheoldtraps]

This band was formerly known as THE VISIONS and recorded the songs THRESHOLD OF LOVE and SMALL TOWN COMMOTION, both of which can be heard on YouTube. THE VISIONS originated in Mineral Wells, Texas, and were hired by Lucille Ball to perform in her home for Desi Arnaz Jr.'s 16th birthday party. Also on YouTube, you can watch a clip of them performing Small Town Commotion on Ben Gazarra's RUN FOR YOUR LIFE with actor Don Stroud playing in the band.

[jimwalsh2001]

That's a true buried treasure you've got there!

[RaymondTVinyl]

I agree!! What a great forgotten song!! Anything on Buddah from this period!! So glad U liked!!

[desoto1961]

What a groovy song.. I must get a copy and a stick of bubble gum..

Here's a 1969 bubble gum musical creation, courtesy of the Kasenetz-Katz production team.

"Bubble Gum Music" was written by Jerry Goldstein & Bob Feldman, who were two of the three members of the Strangeloves ("I Want Candy").

VERY fun! I want to post Sugar, Sugar but I am now thinking about everything is owned by that damn WMG. They had best get wise and let us post their stuff so as to turn others onto the music and maybe spark some SALES for them!!

[chompo7]

lucky you your ey3 doesnt hum! did you have it fixed,buy it restored or just get lucky? im so pissed at myself that i cant figure the capacitor thing out.raymond what type cartridge you have it there? since ive never heard an ey3 thats in perfect order tell me does it have any bass at all? mine has barely any.

so im wondering if its from the bad caps or maybe my

cartridge choice? i put in a stereo cart so it isnt so rough on the records.

joe

[RaymondTVinyl]

Hi Joe...I bought this player at the record show about 3 or 4 years ago. No problems at all. It has a stereo cartridge in it. Sorry, but I don't know what kind. It did have a problem once with the tone arm, which my guy fixed for me. It does pick up a static sound which I think is the old wiring in my house. Bass-wise, it doesn't thump, but it does have some nice deep tones. Especially on records from the period. Check out Desoto's channel for a super group of these players.
