I used to walk to school my freshman (H.S.) year singing this song,wishing I was back in grade school,confused about my locker,the bells,the girls who looked like women...
I was a was 12 when this song came out. it was big. one of those songs that makes you feel good even on a rainy dark monday. perhaps one of a dozen or so songs so easy to identifie with the mid sixties.
We were trying to think of what year this song came out just last night as four classmates from Malden High School Class of '66 got together. Those 45 years flew by but Len Barry's song brings back lots of good memories.
I'm married 41 years, I remeber at age 15 hearing this song by Len Barry who also sang with the Dovels, You Can't Sit Down 1963, Bristol Stomp 1962 both made it to #1 in NY WABC Cousin Burcie
I feel the best three year's in music had to be 1965 to 1967. So, much of the music, including this still hold up very well -- with very little from that time period I wouldn't still listen to -- and it wasn't just about a few artists or songwriters, but many. I just wish I had been older than the 1-2-3 years old as in this song, like maybe 7 or 8 years old, at least, at that time.
@sneezyize Those 3 years I spent in the Army and Vietnam . I feel sorry for you their were decades of good music I especially loved the 50's. I feel what years are good for you you'll remeber the music as being the best.
Wonderful find; Glad to know that I am not the only person who still insist the best music occurred in the 60's to the mid-70's; I wish I could still hear this music but we have "aged out." Who would have thought that over 50 did not mean you could rock?
As well it should have, Len. You were nothing less than awesome! And, it was difficult, back then- or now- to compete with the Beach Boys! And then there was that kid..Lou Christie...with "Lightening Strikes"......
Wonder if he remembers playing the Liberty Bell club in South Jersey and the foursome that was laughing all through this song, well two of them were my future wife and I. I do want to apologize, we were not laughing at you
To the viewers: Please don't ask question aimed at the poster of this video, SpindleRecords, as Marc Bird, founder and poster, Passed away Jan 6, 2009. I am currently downloading the video's just in case something happens to this channel. His computer with almost everything on it crashed a week after I hooked it back up. Guess not using it for a year while I sold our house and looked for a new one wasn't good for it. I can't get on his page cuz IDK his password. Gonna put on mine.
@mikegerrish Right, the first note of Gary Puckett singing "Young Girl" - i've seen that on YT.. the Union Gap always wore those Yankee soldier costumes.
I WAS 16 YEARS OLD WHEN HEARD THIS SONG BEING PLAYED IN A CLUB IN MONTERREY,MX. IN THE SO CALL PINK ZONE "THE HAPPY BOYS " AS THE GROUP CALLED IT'S SELF, BLEW ME AWAY. DOWN TO A T
How would that baby grow up having had its candy nicked? Maybe it wouldn't find love and trust so easy and so this metaphor/simile is self-defeating in the end! But who cares about the psychology - what a brilliant song!
I seen len barry, earlier this evening on one of those rock,pop,and doo wop, specials that pbs puts on time to time. he sang this song and still sounded much the same, but time hasn't been good to him....he looks like he weighs 400 pounds or more. he was so lean and handsom in this video the way I remember him.
I remember when this song first came out Crusing ' Van Nuys Blvd in the valley on 'Cruise Night', blasing this song on my AM radio! Even better when The Wolfman was howling!!!
I am 37 and play this for my 2 sons often. I sing the candy from a baby part with a mock overenunciated Scottish accent like Fat Bastard from the Austin Powers movies and they think it's hilarious.
So many good memories from this song and that time, 1966. Ft. Bliss, Tx and Houston and this incredible song during the British Invasion, Motown. I can play this over and over and never tire of it.
There is a commercial out that plays this song close to the end. The wife is pregnant and went shopping after seeing the doctor, and when the husband comes home from work, she shows him all the things she bought and goes to the baby's room shows the 3 of every thing, like car seats and cribs... he says we're having triplets with a smile on his face...lol... Don't know what the commercial is selling, but it is sooo cute!!!
He may well have given a live performance at the time but what we're hearing here is the record. Still, it's great to hear it. Definitely one of the spellbinding musical moments so rare nowadays.
I was 10 when this song came out and thought this was a black singer.....heard this on an oldies station today, looked it up and bam!!.....I was surprised...very soulful vocals from this guy....great memories.
classic man i woz a dj playin dis shit yrs ago and it still fukin gd and my grandson is 11 and got it up for me coz im bit slow on dis fuckin slow computer
great clip. coupla notes: len, you're supposed to take the ball out first, before you spin the wheel. it's easy, like taking candy from a baby (a disturbing expression btw). and what does a roulette wheel (looks like they bought that one @ a novelty shop. good job, props dept) have to do with the song? also, i remember when this song was a hit and wmca used to play booing every time the lyric 'abc' came on...wabc being their main competitor in the nyc market. btw his sequel, 4-5-6, didn't chart.
I love this song! Always sing it to myself. I was living in Japan; Yokohama when this song came out in 1965; I was 8 years old and this song has always been one of my favorite :) It's great to see the performance; match the face with the song. Boy was he handsome!
I'm not a big fan of music from this era, yet since my dog died and a stray cat wondered into our lifes one day (my daughters and me), I accidently play it and both my daughters and the cat simultaneously and unscripted started to dance...Wow! It's still one of their favorites.
Would'nt world peace be obtainable if pepople could go beyond their political and predisposed hatred, and let their hearts take over and smile. My daughter's
SpindleRecords Thanks for posting this track I heard this @ the end of a TV Commercial yesterday and remembered hearing this either when I was almost 2 ? still crawling around remembered the 123 part ;) Thanks for the memories !
one hit wonder? I was in Jr High School when this came out. LOVED IT THEN, LOVE IT NOW- Len wasn't bad looking either- most of thesingers back then were polished and wore suits. black and white
@BigBishop1 After rereading your comment I can only say...damn. How many times has this happened to talented artists? You'd think that his hair would have mattered less than his ability to make hits.
so glad my parents used to play these oldies in the car on the way to our cottage. otherwise mabye I would've been like everyone else and just dismissed it because it was older.
I always loved his voice, I'm similar, I have a very frontal focused tenor 1 tone, and when people look at me they are like...you can sing? Len has the same look. You hear his voice, and you think...did that just come out of him????

Motownesque and loving it. This guy should have had so many more hits...I guess that he just didn't have the best managers. Anyway, I love you Len..

@ekocentric i think his image killed him he didnt think having long hair and rebel image mattered unfortunatly the record buyers did

@BigBishop1 After rereading your comment I can only say...damn. How many times has this happened to talented artists? You'd think that his hair would have mattered less than his ability to make hits.

so glad my parents used to play these oldies in the car on the way to our cottage. otherwise mabye I would've been like everyone else and just dismissed it because it was older.

I always loved his voice, I'm similar, I have a very frontal focused tenor 1 tone, and when people look at me they are like...you can sing? Len has the same look. You hear his voice, and you think...did that just come out of him????
Rock on Len Barry!
