Way back in 1973 or 74, a friend and I were at a Club in West Covina,Ca. and we got to meet these guys.. it was great.. They sat with us on their breaks.. Jerry Lewis's Son.. Gery Lewis.. was a nice guy..
I LOVE WHAT HIS FATHER HAS DONE FOR HUMANITY-MY BROTHER HAD A TRUETONE RECORD PLAYER WHEN I WAS 11 AND BOUGHT 33'S I WORE OUT MANY RECORDS HE RECORDED -HE WILL ALWAYS BE MY LEGEND AND HE IS ONE IN A LIFETIME-I HOPE HE IS HAPPY AND HEATHY TO-MY BEST TO YOU GARY-AND YOUR PLAYBOYS
My wife and I saw Gary Lewis & The Playboys in concert a couple of years ago, and before they sang this song, Gary introduced it as being his very favorite of all the songs they ever recorded. And I tend to agree this is the group at its best.
For quite awhile Leon Russell worked in the recording studio background, producing, writing & arranging material for others. Gary & the 'boys relied on his skills for solid material such as this.
Great tune from a very under-rated group. Sure, with legendary producer Snuff Garrett, they were probably more of a 'studio' group than a 'live' band, but during the 60's, who cared? Thanks for posting.
This was the flipside of "Save Your Heart For Me." It was written by Leon Russell (who's also playing the harpsichord). Boyce & Hart would borrow this chord progression (and tempo) a few months later for "I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone."

This song is still one of Gary's favorite recordings. It still sounds great live.

It's also got the same attitude as "Steppin' Stone"...but Gary, great as he could be, just couldn't sound as snotty as Micky Dolenz

Another kick-butt production by Snuff Garrett! THE Unsung genius of the sixties.
