Don't Give In To Him - Gary Puckett & The Union Gap

[musicollector1975]

I have the (vinyl) LP of their greatest hits. This is one of their best!

[richardinbrum]

If only I were able to sing like that. The richest voice ever, with a great range and feeling. Smile time :-)

[TheMoonchildiva]

MAN, he has the greatest voice !! 

[takemeback2]

Another slick transition at 1:03-1:04.

[imtommy11]

Boy, listening to a few of these songs made me run to Amazon and buy their "Best of" CD. Takes me back to Jr High. What a great time to have been a teenager.

[tachmonite1]

Sitting here reminiscing with these songs and let me tell you this is just what I needed today, these boys have shot me straight back to my youth and man did that ever feel good. Of which I am not out of yet. Young uns enjoy it while you can.

I believe Gary was born in my home state, Hibbing Minnesota......I believe he had 3 # 1 hit's in 1968!!!! I was 16 than and I'm from St. Paul, Minnesota, saw him in concert in 1968 in Minneapolis, was great, my first concert I ever went to, and saw him on the big stage, making out with my date, just got my driver's license thast June.

[leopardmary]

Am I the only one who detectes a slight hint at rape in this song? Just a thought...

[jackyr2291]

@leopardmary - I had the same idea first time I listened to it properly

[jackyr2291]

@leopardmary My thoughts too - good song though

[F111C4EVER]

This song made my hormones race in my teens, and sooo many years later the Puckett magic still works. OnYa Gary!

[keefer2111]

Us guys have never changed. watch your daughters close,, I had to do this with two guys, now there my son inlaws,

[jsbach15]

@keefer2111 HA! HA!  That is so funny and true!

[bws468]

This is the only Gary Puckett and the Union Gap Top 40 hit that didn't make the top ten (it peaked at #15). Still a great song.

[pkappel006]

[Bo618]

[oceanbound222]

[bze2nlz4]

[debbie299]

I'd forgotten all about this song and I loved it 'back in the day!!' Thank you so much for sharing this. GREAT SONG!!!

[songinmyheart67]

*deep sigh*

[cowmoomoo99]

oh my gosh...... I played the crap outa this song when I was 14

[dld3151]

One of the voices that marked my high school years. Always a pleasure to listen to.

[Helivz]

I was an Elementary, third grade student when this song came out, in late 1969. Very fond memories too, but not about the opposite sex. It was about me coming home to Erector sets, Lego sets and motorized toys. The interest in girls came four years later, when I entered the seventh grade.

[Helivz]

@dld3151 Yeah. I was in the 3rd grade when this was constantly playing on the AM/ FM dial in late 1969. One of the best times of my life. Often I wish I was born ten or twelve years earlier. So glad I am not a teen in this era, 2010.

[Helivz]

@dld3151 His voice marked my third grade year - 1969 - 1970. I was nine, going on ten. I see you arrived nine years earlier than I did on this planet. I bet the late 1960's was a kool time to be a teen. Sure glad I'm not a teen in this era.

[Helivz]

@Helivz I'm replying to myself to make a correction. I was eight-years-old in the fall of 1969, not nine years old.

[53topanga53]

Have always LOVED Gary Puckett and The Gap!!!

Funny, when these were popular, (and I was too young) I knew the words to all of their songs, but never caught on what they were REALLY about!! Very mature and beautiful!!

Sweet, poignant nostalgia!!!

[mickkj]

OH HOW TRUE she will always give in to him?ME

[crowleysridgegirl]

Yeah,too bad I didn't pay more attention to this when it came out!

[Treaty4]

Mariek9: Back then people used their imagination and were very creative. It is called good taste and class. That is why you can still appreciate the songs. I bought a tape with this song on it. I had not heard this song until I purchased the tape. I really like the song.

[Charliebub56]

Great song.....really spotlights Gary's wonderful vocals!

[Mariek9]

i wonder who wrote all these songs about sex. Don't get me wrong I love them, it brings back good memories of the 60's.

[pkappel006]

mariek9...thats when our bio-rythems were go'in a million miles a minute......those were the years 1968/69...I was about 16 or so.........yes, such a touching voice Gary had

[Nvlwriter]

Remember this one well! Brings back memories...lots of them.
