THE SORROWS - Take A Heart (1966)

[maxdamiann]

criminally underrated...

[elwillmemito]

Esta fue la primer cancion que me gusto de rock & roll en idioma ingles,me gusto de inmediato,la oi de nino y de ahi en adelante ya nadie me saco de oir rock & roll durante toda mi vida.

[sqaudgidodgeman]

It has taken me nearly 12 months of searching to remember who sang this song yahoo i found it at long last it takes me back to when i was 18 i am now 64 and still loving it

[Secure81]

Such a raw track. Sort of reminds me of I just want to be in love by The Electric Flamingos

[ChrisYonts]

I've been married for 16 years, and I have two children.

[ChrisYonts]

‎"First you take a nation...put it on a reservation...."

I'm 47 and I love this, people!

[ecnalubma696969]

First you take a nation...put it on a reservation...!

[45soulvinyl]

Great clip and track, 6 dislikes...lol

[joeyrider]

one of the greatest!! They were big in Italy too I rememder them as a small kid

[stanleysoldman]

cool film, loving the drums!

[sdv0018]

Woah. I got the shivers.

[Thereyago21]

Just a great, great band. Ta for posting! 'Let me in' and 'You've got what I want' are equally great. Cheers

[dollydot123]

God, Don Fardon was tall. Good looker too.

[mattwhitcher]

The drummer is Bruce Finley, now running a drum class in Alaska. Great band, especially Pip Whitcher who waskind enough to drop into my party last night. Love you dad.

[MrMariodog]

fanno parte della mia generazione semplicemente fantastici

[MightySaturn5]

great stuff

[WillTWiggins]

reminiscent of paul revere and the raiders' "indian reservation"....very goos song

[shotdonkey]

@WillTWiggins

in fact, it was don fardon of the sorrows who did the original version of "indian reservation" in 1968; way before paul revere (1971)!

fardon`s version went to no. 3 in the UK, and to no. 20 in the US...before revere picked it up and took it to no. 1.

[WillTWiggins]

@shotdonkey

wow thanks i never knew that....makes sense! both are great songs

[shotdonkey]

@WillTWiggins

well, yes actually it does make sense. you can search out don`s version of "indian reservation" on youtube and play it side by side (well, almost!) with "take a heart".

the connections are (ho-hum) kind of obvious...

[doglips1958]

@shotdonkey Marvin Rainwater did the original Indian Reservation, called Pale faced Indian in 1959 before Don Fardon.Check it out.It's on You Tube.

[BeatleBangs1964]

Cool! Everybody and his brother had Beatle haircuts and I just love that! Great song! 

[MrGMmusic]

Fabulous footage - how's the rhythmn section?! Great drummer, great bass player plus some great guitar bits and the great Don Fardon. No wonder it's so good. A very under-rated song and a ballsy rendition of it. Wish I'd been there!

Thanks for posting!

[1545Maga]

puf! drummer take a heart,

[magickzaz]

en mexico los locos del ritmo grabaron el cover en español

[auptt]

the drummer is insane

[raw420x]

Arthur Alexander...?

[Babyboomer67]

Great, real live sound!!! Better than its studio recording

[markthelark]

Modnificent!

[cloisterene]

Omg, I have got chills!!

[barfeyes]

the drums!!!

[TRUEiMPROrecords]

whoa this is really cool stuff..

[powerhungry52]

Don Fardon was the singer and he had the hit Indian Reservation before Mark lindsay as Paul revere and the Raiders did in the USA

[BeatleBangs1964]

How many of you can hear bits of Mark Lindsay's classic "Cherokee Nation" in this one?

[SOULINTEGRITY]

Brilliant

[ecnalubma696969]

First you take a Fardon, put him out into the gardon....

[ecnalubma696969]

First you take a nation, then put it on a reservation....

[Sarahfreckle]

The SORROWS were the finest group ever to come out of COVENTRY, England. Lead singer Don Fardon.

[PlasterPirate]

Great-- What are those guitar amps?

[danx42]

Those are "Echolette" amps which wre made in Germany in the mid 60s. Kind of like a Vox or Marshall I think. Actually pretty good amps if you can find one...

[OldTimeRockRoll1969]

Wow that was really pretty awesome!

Love the drums in this, not your typical 4/4 drum beat. More like a "wild African Love Beat" ... heehee :-)

Cool tune and band.

[psychedelicvision67]

I Sorrows riproposero questo brano in Italiano al cantagiro del '66 col titolo "Mi si spezza il Cuore"

[565144]

same melody as crawdaddy simone

[Phedias67]

One thing it's for sure: The band's got style

[cachetisandnegris]

Where it is Sirlongpass??? It´s great...de lo poco impresionante en tons of shit ???

[mrspygsl]

es una de las mejores canciones que he escuchado, el baterista es impresionante, lastima que no vivi en esa epoca. viva mexico cabrones!!!!!

[yellogaga]

1966？

最高だ

[sterlingroswell]

best band to come out of Rugby

[thanes1234]

more like Coventry no?

[flytipper]

pop art glory

[loki109]

Bruce Finley (drummer) lives in Anchorage, Alaska. He has a band, too called the Balck and Tan. He still plays. He is still fabulous. Saw him last night, in fact.

[nebuchadnexxar]

[ChrisYonts]

@lolitsRyhana Thanks for the hot tip, teenager!

[6motion6]

Love this song! Fantastic drumming and the singer's voice is a wonderful mix of Jim Morrison and Elvis.

[velvetpukeclimbers]

@6motion6

mixed with cobain'esque screaming

[freevracman]

Les Sorrows Sont Vraiment un Excellent Groupes Anglais 60's, Mais effectivement Peu connu , Dommage.....

[V8and4SPEED]

Is this the same Sorrows band that did a little known late 70s tune called "I don't like it like that"?

[lynnhaber]

No - that was Arthur Alexander, Joey Cola, Ricky Street and Jett Harris, a CBGB-based group on Pavillion Records (a CBS-International subsidiary.)

[V8and4SPEED]

Thanks. I'd sure like to hear that one again...can't find it on U-TOOB.

[V8and4SPEED]

and I had no idea they came out of CBGB's...far out!

[maxexcomit]

in italiano si diceva...MI SI SPEZZA IL CUOR....

[aprilcrook96]

this is a cover of the boys blue, and my grandad terry crook played lead guitar in that band

[stOOpid68]

Coventry's finest!

well, these and the Specials!

* * * * *

Lee

Liverpool Mods.

[barazbulbo]

Happy New Year to my favorite song of all times

[pierinoonemanband]

The Sorrows have presented this song in Italy at the "Cantagiro 1966". They sung in italian and the song is called in our country "Mi si spezza il cuor". Very beautiful band!!!

[skeptyky]

excellent the sorrows ,peu connu donc grosse

cote a l'argus vinyl ,vive les sixties !!

[drinkfightandphuck]

gr888 band

[DickStainy]

First you take a nation...then you take a reservation....

[AmericanPunkGarage]

Great one.

[gibson3524]

This was one of the best bands of the 60's. If you listen to their singles, they're all gems. And surely the first "freakbeat" band (some 20 years before the phrase was coined).

[barazbulbo]

THIS has been my favorite number since I was twelve, and I'm so glad to finally see it here on YT .... BRAVO - The Sorrows

[bluezzzzzz]

oh yes!

I'm too !

Thanks for posting!

[schizofunaddictfilms]

Wow! I can't believe I just learned of this song today and what a performance. Bravo! The Sorrows... damn this band is the real fucking Kahuna. Sorry for the cussing but it needs to be said.

Don, if you read this...please come do a guest vocal for Schizo Fun Addict, we'll tear shit up in the background.

This vid is a sick dose esoteric moment in rock and roll history.

with love,

Jet for the Schizo family

[dilzappa]

This is a blurprint for Don Fardon's Indian Reservation from 1970...very similar (or at least the original single is)

[doglips1958]

The drummer got a good workout

[headlay]

Still drumming - in Alaska!

[kpinit]

Are you still in touch with Bruce?

[headlay]

Bruce should be in UK for family reunion at Christmas

[jay2520]

Bruce is gonna be back? can you tell him to give my Dad Pip a ring when he gets back he missed him last time he was over here

[headlay]

I'll let him know he'll be staying in Nuneaton over Xmas.

headlay

[kfitz668]

Hey, not that it's any of my business, but who are you and where are you drumming in Alaska? I'm a drummer and was born in Fairbanks and my brother owns a recording studio there. And I fucking love this clip! Have the US 45 of it!

[headlay]

He lives in Sutton, Alaska, and drums in the Pipe Band, among other things.

[xDizstruxshoNx]

wow. way ahead of there time and great

[OSCARDERAMASSAGE]

pure absolute rock n roll .... those guys where terrific and DON FARDON a giant

[Tholomaios]

Good God, I know this song just thanks to a total coincidence; a friends friend was supposed to record some Elvis Presley stuff on cassette, but recorded everything but him. So I got to know Genesis'-Undertow, Van Morrison's-You just can't win and The Sorrows-Take a heart.

All that music is so great and yet so unknown, that if it were not for that total coincidence, I would have probably never heard it!

It nearly makes me cry, about other great music I'll never listen to, because it's unknown!

[MaykNizmir]

He made a shiver run up my spine when he hit a certain note. They certainly seem ahead of their time.
