The Hi-5 (1966)

[marrrrrrks]

wow this band Is awesome

[sbrower8715]

This is "Did You Have To Rub It In?" Vanguard Records - VRS 34043

[FabianoBulgarelli]

Does somene know what's the name of this song?

[watchika2]

the lead singer reminds me of Brian Epstein.

[mcrenshaw]

They were featured in a Guild guitar catalog back in the '60s... I remember the photos from this performance that were in the catalog..

[impala666]

Sounds like California Dreaming no? Which was first?

[kinksbeatlesstones]

erm, no, not really! It has a jazzy descending chord feel to it but so did thousands of other songs (think of Stray Cat Strut or Minnie The Moocha for instance).

[dicksatan]

Must have been freezing in the studio.

[66rules]

I need to pay attention the the GAME SHOW network more often. The GAME SHOW network is also responsible for the Tony and the Tigers video of "I'll Be on My Way" (A Beatles composition)

[paisleypower30]

That was really cute, but short? I swear that chord progression is in something else much more popular...and *giggles* the drummer only needs one drum stick it seems...

[66rules]

Reminds me of "Ain't No Friend of Mine" by the Sparkles

[paisleypower30]

Thanks, I went and found it, liked it!

[sastorino]

The band members introduced themselves to Steve Allen as: Seth Evans, Jeffrey Comanor, Tedd Barron, Vic King and Pam Robbins. (No, John Lennon was not among them, regarding the earlier questions posted here.)

[wmbrown6]

Jeffrey Comanor later became a songwriter; among his most famous compositions was the England Dan & John Ford Coley hit "We'll Never Have to Say Goodbye Again." Pam Robins (one 'b') later was in a group called "Wings" (not to be confused with Paul McCartney's band). I have a promo single by The Hi-Five on Vanguard from the same year as this clip, 1966.

[OlymPigs2010]

Very unique and high energy song,the only negative is the bare bones poduction in this particular video!

[guppypartz]

It needs a middle part... I liked it originally and then not as much as I realized it was repeating the same thing over

[bitterchew]

I take that back, I think that IS John Lennon

[bitterchew]

definately is not John Lennon

[iamthebootman]

Hey, I recognise that guy singing. I seem to remember him playing in a band that did shows at country bars. I also remember that he spent more time on his knees in the alley behind the place than on stage

[JakeANowhereMan]

Name of Song?

[clairesays]

it's "Did You Have To Rub It In"

There's a reference about this song here: 60sgaragebands. com/images/Misc.Appearances.pd­f

[JakeANowhereMan]

Thanks For the Info man!

=DDD

[sgold1]

Never heard of this group. Any info?

[libraryquiet]

This was one of John Lennons' side projects in 1966..., that's him playing bass!!

[minijimi]

I am not sure if it is him, in 1966 John had longer hair and was not as thin. He also never played bass. Also in 1966 they recorded 2 albums and toured America, I don't think he had time for a side project. I don't recall reading anything about this side project.

[libraryquiet]

This was right after he finished his involvement with the film "How I won the War".

[66rules]

That's bullshit, that's not John Lennon.

I've read a lot of Beatle books and I would have heard about this.

Just because somebody has sideburns and glasses doesn't mean they are John Lennon.

[minijimi]

@libraryquiet this is a longer clip from the same show after they played their song ... watch?v=QqtuADxIskw ... not John Lennon...
