[AdvocateJ]

12 years later, in 1979, Spanish actress and singer ANA BELÉN recorded a DISCO VERSION with dramatically different lyrics in Spanish written by her husband VICTOR MANUEL. The track, renamed " Vuelo Blanco de Gaviota" (White Flight of Seagull) , opened the B-side of her CBS-label debut album "Ana" .

" The days of pearly spencer " par David Mac Williams : j'adore, c'est génial.

[ataistar]

Excellent song -- reminds me the good old days. I wonder what happen to David McWilliams!

[jimmygb64]

@ataistar david died sometime ago

[theavatarstudy]

Actually somehow this song talks about the "Included" & "Excluded" from Society, from the group. I keep thinking on someone who is like the Christ....

To Exclude means generate an Emotional Crisis, to put a task upon the shoulders that can solve that out in benefit of the group. So the Exclusion becomes a "Social Method". ..to put the Christ One to Serve. To serve so the group avoids its present condition. ..but if the group doesnt solve it out by itself what the point ???

[ritchiepeyton]

@theavatarstudy I fart in the general direction of your confused nonsense.

[theavatarstudy]

@ritchiepeyton I was NOT talking about Ecuador XP

I was talking about Global Social Strategies such as putting the smarter one under the ruling of the less smarts (a sort of slavement) to benefit the mass. Or another is to saturate a whole market with low quality/prices products in order to benefit low profile (mass) producers.

Or to give (instead of let buy) high priced products to the mass so they stand higher vs the most deservative ones LOL

[Mystify73]

I hear it often in radios of my chieldhood. I miss the good old time..

[desmassam]

he ruined the chorus by singing it like steven hawkins.

[robboaron]

@desmassam

i think the chorus is great like this...i used to hear the song on the radio as a kid and probably wouldn't have remembered it without the effects in the chorus.

[yetiradar]

RIP David. You left us a fine song. It brings memories and some tears. Thanks

[dmj48111]

Beautiful song, nice presentation, I like the feet at the start.

I never expected to hear the song again, this is why youtube exists.

[ravydavy47]

@theoriginalpackrat johnnie walker plays it regularly on Radio 2

[yaeb56]

@theoriginalpackrat

I heard this song when Iwas 10 long time ago ......in 68

the sound looked so magic that i ve always been haunted ever since

for me it is one of the best songs of the 20th. When I heard htat David was dead I really cold not believe the information; this song is my chidness and will be forever

[eodoherty47]

@yaeb56 - I was 10 in '68 too.....remember this been played on my sisters old 45 Decca record Player....

[hastaroth777]

bella cancion

[Wowherewego]

Hi nice Video - There is a rare upload of David McWilliams - Is living realy worth the dying now on YouTube no pictures though but its probably the only copy on YouTube.

To find it search David Mcwilliams then search, if it is not there then change to recient uploads and search again

[cgkstevenson]

Single was 1967. I have it in my collection. Days of Pearly Spencer was a one-off. I have an LP - David McWilliams Vol 3 ! He did write some nice songs but they got the 'Laurie Paramor' type production with strings and orchestration which ruined the songs. '3 o'clock Flamingo Street ' sounds like a follow up to DOPS. Maybe I'll grab the vinyl and post some more on.

[captainsoul1953]

cgk

Agree with you on that...David didnt like these productions much but i doubt he had much say....a more rock or folk rock approach would have aimed him at a different market.....a la Donovan perhaps

Jim

[Gruntelfluk]

Just came upon your comment on '3 O'Clock Flamingo Street' ..this song was released in late 1967 by the Bachelors..same time as DOPS was issued. I have the original 1967 album by David McWilliams, of the same title, which was produced by the late Mike Leander.. who later wrote and produced for none other than Gary Glitter in the 1970s.

[onetwopussies]

I like the Violins in the song

[daz702003]

@onetwopussies  could be a great sample

[INDIVIDUALHOUSE]

Not 1967.

We bought this single in april 1968 and I was three years old ; the flip side was "Harlem Lady".

[TheSofiaBy]

long....strange video

[gary56victor57]

OMG I F**KIN" LOVE THIS SONG!!! Why was this NOT a Top 10 hit??!! It's one of the BEST pop songs of the fabulous 60's. The melody, the beautiful vocals, & those haunting strings, I love it. P.S. David is one groovy guy! Those side-burns, & that terrific shirt, he is too cool!! R.I.P. David, Gary in PA USA.

[MelyndaMann]

I really like the first 12 seconds.

[MelyndaMann]

Who's the girl at the beginning? What show is this?

[CarlosEmelectrico]

Buen video. Yo tengo esta canción en versión Disco con Trade Mark del año 1978.

[lenin9015]

[kiruza57]
