[mustang73ism]

Perfect Summer 60's song.

[hoss48]

I love these songs, Oliver did capture the feeling of 1969. I was in Nam in 69 and now when i hear this song i t retraces my life back then!! R.I.P. Oliver and thank you and to Bob Hope as well for the USO shows.

[squirell1952]

WHO WAS THIS OLIVER GUY? EVEN I COULD SING BETTER (AFTER A FEW VODKAS AND COLA). IS HE STILL SINGING?

[60otaku3]

[stratof7]

@squirell1952 wow has it been that long already? where does the time go? i always loved his voice.he was great just great. i felt bad when he passed on............

[jdogpj]

I love this song it reminds me of my carefree days in the sixties. I miss those days and this song says it all!

[zoraidaaponte446]

Yes those were the best years to grow up in if I were to be reborn I'd be born again// I was born in the 50's

[Bradley62100]

The 60s & 70s such a great time to grow up in those were the days!!!!

[jimwigginsable]

Its to bad that the dislikes were not around in the 60s. when you could come home and here great music. there was no b/s with songs from this great era.

[debradearful]

oh, just some of the comments people make .... No big deal except it is just unnecessary. But that is all the vocabulary some people have....

[60otaku3]

Please do not mind vocabulary in the comments.

Otaku3 (^_^;)

[debradearful]

What is with all the nasty language? That is so unnecessary and shows a lack of basic intelligence from someone who doesn't know Oliver from the Cowsills!

[60otaku3]

Concretely, which comment is the nasty language you refer to??

...Otaku3

[bx944]

@debradearful I ALSO THOUGHT IT WAS THE COWSILLS. SONG IS GREAT GOOD FOR THE SOUL.

[PabloReyesLineaRoja]

PARA MI UNA DE LAS MEJORES DE AQUELLA EPOCA JUVENIL...DIABLOS, COMO ME GUSTA !!!

[pinkus44]

this was originally done by strawberry alarm clock. this is a cover and the most popular version. check out theirs on youtube here

[namaste91]

A monster-popsyke gem!

[TheSuperConn]

I heard this song and the memories came flooding back, just a kid at heart and the Cowsils did it also

[bx944]

I WOULD BET MONEY THIS SONG WAS ONE OF THE COWSELLS

[60otaku3]

I have not ever heard that the Cowsells sang this song....

Otaku3 (^_^;)

[bx944]

@60otaku3 I STAND CORRECTED I WILL BE THE FIRST TO SAY I'M WRONG THANK YOU FOR THE FACTS WE ARE SOUTHERN CAL.

[The53rrc]

@bx944 No it wasn't done by the Cowsills-it was done this man here you see before you.

[JOHNCOCKTOASTEN1]

@The53rrc ASSHOLE CAN YOU READ THE MAN STATED HE HAD BEEN CORRECTED COMMENT ON WHAT IS POSTED WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT YOUR STUPID COMMENT ABOUT A COMMENT SHIT FOR BRAINS.

[JOHNCOCKTOASTEN1]

@bx944 FOR THE RECORD THAT IS COWSILLS.

[HansieDZ]

@bx944

Do you mean the CowsIlls?

[uplinkz]

What a song! This song screams 60's! But still resonates today!!!

[JohnnyDCalabria]

To the sick people out there that think this filth is cute and OK. It's not to late to redeem your musical souls. These kinds of songs are the backround music for most beautiful things our world has to offer. Listen and feel the sound freeing you forever!

[hellskitchennews]

It's not too late to learn how to spell either.

[KarenEngSwallows]

[GodzLove1]

Good Morning :))

[blabblab1212]

It was eight years ago on a night much like tonight that this song was playing on the radio. I was sitting comfortably in my living room chair when I noticed an eerie light suddenly appear just outside the window. As I turned to get a better look, the light suddenly vanished. Being the inquisitive sort, I quickly ventured outside to see if I could catch a glimpse of what had caused the lights occurrence. Standing just outside the door everything seemed fine and then....................

[robertdamico1]

Oliver's brother was Tucker Fredricson who played for the NY Giants football team.

[JesusChristsuxCocks]

@robertdamico1 No Oliver was Tucker Fredricson's homosexual love interest during the late suxties.Oliver said that Tucker loved to stick a football in his ass and lick it off.

[MrFootfree02]

@JesusChristsuxCocks Oliver was my first Hermaferditic sexual experiance.He had a small dick and a huge clitoris with a deep voice and very hairy nuts with a Hitler like mustache in his pants.

[00100049]

@MrFootfree02 tu eres un loco y un so called in mexico 'culero', estas enfermo, no tienes porque denigrar a tan excelente y grandioso artista.

[57highland]

All right, here we go again ... why can't they write and sing songs like this today?

[theoneandthesame]

I saw Oliver at a small venue in Columbia Tennessee about 1978. Besides being a very good singer, he was incredibly funny between songs.

[pbullock52]

Somebody Please post the flip side- "The Arrangement"

[eduriodocampo]

Recuerdos de mi infancia,,,,,tiempo bueno...hecho de menos!!!!!!!

[taxfundi]

Memories of a kibbutz in Israel where I landed up to ride the winter out in Europe - 1968 and iced coffee after a shower and a hard day in the fields, working.....a lifetime ago, it seems now.......

[onijiji1]

ミュージカル、ヘアーからは沢山のヒット曲が出ましたね。！

当然、アクエリアスもどこかにアップされているはずですね＼(^­o^)／

[60otaku3]

onijiji1さん、コメントをありがとうございます！

「ヘアー」からはこの「グッドモーニングスターシャイン」とスリ­ードッグナイトの「イージートゥビーハード」しかアップしておら­ず、一番有名な「アクエリアス」はまだなのです。

（かなり前に他の方がアップされているものであれば見ることが出­来ます）

フィフスディメンションは、現在おそらくどの歌をアップしてもブ­ロックされてしまうと思います・・・残念ですね。



[acla9000]

My eight years... It was this song I used to listen, among others... Thanks for reminding!!

[60otaku3]

[WhisperingScriptures]

Groovy!!!

[romanticwarrior97]

This song takes me right back to the 60's. It was a good time to be a kid.

[spareaxe]

When I was a kid I had a dog named oliver but, he died of a broken heart.

[Tercio233]

yeah, i imagine burns singing to this

i dont get it, the hair version is the original, but it sounds shit compared to this. and im no oldie fan or something...... : |

[Inquisitor53]

@Tercio233 Check out the Cowsills singing "Hair" . It too, is far better than the movie's soundtrack and the play's version!

[Mandi7882]

Ahhhh! This was my Sesame Street Song!!! My mom couldn't shut me up!

Oliver did such a wonderful rendition of this song from Hair! Thank you for uploading this!!!!

[60otaku3]

You're welcome, Mandi7882-san!!

@Mandi7882

I will never forget Oliver.. Loved his songs since the day my father played it on 8-Track! Thank You!! :)

[IdolHans]

Very mystical and ethereal sounding. You can learn how to play Oliver's magnus opus at Privettrickers YouTube channel. He's got it down pat! ---all the weird chords, triads, lead runs and riffs are ALL there. Enjoy music fans! God bless all of you!

...Otaku3

[Alexsia31]

himself

[tcherbaziu]

This song remindes me a prety girl I had in Brazil. ´till now a love this song...for ever. Today I am 55 yo but it seems to me it was yesterday unfortunately...

[ranchomirage]

Where can i find a copy of this album? I played it so often that I must have worn it out . I think it has been out of print for years, what a waste.

[G8tDestroyer]

ebay.  I just looked it up.

[SowandSow1]

William Oliver Swofford is my cousin......

[Valteron8]

@SowandSow1 I often woner if your cousin knew how much difference he made in people's lives. A few nights after I met my present spouse in 1976, we had stayed up all night in each other's arms. As the sky began to lighten, we played this song and as I looked into his blue eyes your cousin sang "there's love in your skies reflecting the starlight in my lover's eyes." A moment passed between us right there that we have not forgotten 34 years later!

[jarofants1]

@SowandSow1 Sorry to hear he died.

[Beautifulmusiclistnr]

@SowandSow1 On behalf of all the people who have loved the song "Jean" from your cousin, Oliver, I'd like to say I'm so sorry for your loss and for the world's loss. I was a little boy when "Jean" came out, and I've loved that song ever since. I think about my childhood everytime I hear this song. It has such depth and meaning. It's so beautiful, and it's a long time favorite song of mine. RIP Oliver.

[dynagravitomagnetic]

@SowandSow1 press a guitar into your grandson's hands and teach him the basic chords and lyrics.

[watchinshadows]

One of the tracks that really captures the feel of the sixties!

[60otaku3]

Thank you, watchinshadows-san!!

Otaku3 (^_^)/

[jarofants1]

@watchinshadows I was thinkig the same thing about the feeling the song gives you.
