HAMILTON, JOE FRANK & REYNOLDS-"DON'T PULL YOUR LOVE"(LYRICS)

[TheTerriepearce]

i agree. i thought it was BJ Thomas all these years LOL

[1skullduggery]

this singer had ptetty good pipes. kind of reminds me of elvis, with a splash of b.j. thomas

[ukrbs06]

Elvis was offered to record this song but Colonel Parker turned it down. Elvis records this and its a #1.

[teamsimon15]

Maybe thats why I like this song! I love Elvis..I remember having the 45 record in the summer of 71' . I had to wait till my parents were gone and play this.  I would play it over and over..lol

[gabbydeb]

H J F & R and the Grass Roots were two of my fav groups, so it was interesting to learn that "Don't Pull Your Love" was offered to the Grass Roots first.

[LittleSweety]

This song was 40 years ago no.6 in the world charts #hamilton #joe #frank #and #reynolds

[kinkybeatle]

Great 70's song !!

[mrjonrickly]

[leahmhaines61]

[SigvardLionetti60]

[rwells47]

@neelie53 - you're welcome Lee! Ron

[ChrisCurtisFan]

Unbelievable that this was turned down by the GR's. It's very much suited to their style! No matter -- HJ&R did it and we all got to enjoy it -- and AMEN to that!! It's a great classic! Thanks, Ron for sending it to me!

[likekinds]

One of the better oldies.

Thanks!

[cilla24writer]

I love this song:)

[bondsly]

This is a classsic I remember this one just like it was yesterday.

[55centerstage]

Does anybody think the singer sounds like Elvis??

[Hope2009pc]

@55centerstage No offense.. but no.

[Uranus1978]

@55centerstage I thought he sounded alot like Elvis. Originally that's who I thought was singing this song.

[ahykes08]

my father and i used to listen to this song on a tape he had. it would make me cry when i knew he had to leave for work as a trucker. id miss him terribly. he passed last september and this is the first time ive been able to bring myself to listen to it since then

[Renabulous]

Love the background music. I don't know the term, I'm the layest lay man when it comes to music. But it's very catchy.

[cablonde320]

Great song and good memories....

thank you Ron...

[James0022ify]

I bet The Grass Roots were kicking themselves for turning this one down. Great song Ron

[DieHardBeatlesFan]

Remember this one so well Ron

Oh Happy Days :))

Great share thanks

[rwells47]

@DieHardBeatlesFan - you're welcome Tricia! Ron

[bze2nlz1]

Many memories with this song! And I would have loved a GR version! Well, it proved very successful for H,JF&R!

[rwells47]

@bze2nlz1 - Hi Chris- yes the Grass Roots would have done a great job too. I do have a version of Rob Grill wiht his new band from around 2000 singing this song! I will send it to you. Ron

[mrshjfandr]

@rwells47 take a listen to the GR version, you might not say that.....

[rwells47]

@mrshjfandr- what I meant was that the original Grass Roots at the peak of their career would have done a great job on the song. I posted the video of Rob Grill and the new band singing the song live in 2000. This version was no way near the quality of HJF& R's or what the original Grass Roots could have done. Ron

[SciFye64]

this song is BEAST people!!!! there will never be a better love song than this!!!!!! not no bad romance or one less lonley girl or anything like that. yeah, how's that for taking either lady gaga's side or justin biebers!!!

[abbb350]

this song is one of my altime favourites

[tonywsmith2]

Glad it was this version that went to the top of the charts. The Grass Roots sound limp by comparison.

[ILIKETOBAKE]

One of the greatest songs of the 70,s I sing this ALL the time. Since I sing in the same key it sounds pretty good. Play the CD in my car always.One of those songs you just can,t get tired of. Oh well, a loss for the Grass roots. You guys did it the best anyway i,m sure, especially with those vocals!

[MsFrankie98]

well, you never know what's going to be a a hit :-)

[iw32]

i love this song so much.

[TheMoonchick]

Love this song 5*****

@TheMoonchick- hi Linda I'm glad you liked it!  Ron

[RoryNights]

Wonderful 70's song! Thanks for posting it, the info, pics, and lyrics. Nice one :)

[rwells47]

RoryNights- thanks Christine you are very welcome! Ron

[ran6658]

I love this song and I think they did a great job. But it would have been amazing to have heard The Grass Roots sing it during that time period. I don't mean that an insult either...just as curiosity since The Grass Roots passed on it. Great song. Thanks for posting, Rhonda

[rwells47]

You're welcome Rhonda! Ron

[Henrytheape]
