the guy on bass in the background always cracks me up

[Jhensy2012]

John Bonham of Led Zeppelin on drums!

[darrenjray]

@Jhensy2012 Not exactly! John was the drummer in the Senators (from Birmingham) who did the original version but remained unsigned. This is Ray Columbus & the Invaders from New Zealand. This clip would appear to be the Australian TV show, Bandstand.

The first song I sang in a band "Orbiteers" . I was 8

[SilverSinspawn]

This song is truly a classic. Fathered a generation of music.

I hear that Terry Beale died recently. I was 14 and pop-mad when this first came out, and want to share it with overseas friends, so thanks for having it here.

This came onto the hit parade in Sydney in 1966 - I was in my last year of High School, and I was the best Mod's Nod dancer in our School!!

[groovysongs1967]

Mods and Sharpies.

Mods were cool !

[TheHealthFanatic]

@groovysongs1967 - yeah not only mods and sharpies, there were rockers and widgees - remember? Of course not to mention the surfies too. GREAT times! I feel sorry for the kids of today, the excitement and the music we had in those days! WOW!

[MrConan427]

The original of She's a Mod was by The Senators, I,Bill Ford, played bass guitar in The Senators along with John Bonham,Trevor Mcgowan, Graham Dennis and Terry Beal back in 1964 here in England before Ray Columbus and the Invaders did a cover version. The song was composed by Terry Beal our vocalist and John Bonham our drummer went on to Led Zepplin fame
