Spanky & Our Gang - Sunday Mornin'

[sixtiesforever1966]

SPANKY Sad to see some of your music & videos taken down because of Copyright Infringement. I really look forward to your great music. Elaine you should be like Carly Simon and Heart, that post their own music for fans to see & hear. Thanks... Sir David

I wished we had an oldies station and played music like this along with the older bands of the 60's 70's and early 80's. Miss hearing them on the radio.

[sixtiesforever1966]

@weatherpro 101.1 New York and they are on the computer.

[ROCKnROLEnut]

I personally never find the time/energy to do this (this is my 1st youtube posting). But I feel COMPELLED since I personally MET Spanky at a nightclub gig here in L.A. I was dispondent to see them play COUNTRY music during the "urban cowboy era"...she said.. the OLD is the OLD...at LEAST they did a MEDLEY of the old tunes in their 2nd act.

When I later asked a male singer what happened? ..he replied the band had "died" ..further went on to say how one died of pnemonia..another of alcholism.

[speedy45rpm]

Under-rated song from this group. We took this kind of music for granted at the time, thinking it would go on like that forever. Thanks so much for posting it.

[lovebeads1967]

Thank you for this. I haven't heard this in so many years!! What memories!

[MrPoppa2]

This probably a style of music that we will never see or hear again from these times,just like the Beatles ...will never happen again, we that lived it are blessed to have the memories of those times!....love...poppa

[sixtiesforever1966]

@MrPoppa2 With all of the music and videos the TV shows like Midnight Special, Halla Baloo, and many groups that made prime time TV they should compile it all together and make an oldies show series.

I'm sure it would have great ratings

[MrCombat1965]

I haven't heard this in many years. Now I know why I kept singing the line "lots of time with nothing to do, lots of time to spend with you". I wondered where I heard it.

[kznte]

No offense, but this is not the entire length of the version from their greatest hits album.  The original version is over 6 mins long.

[DayGloClam]

@kznte I intentionally edited it for just the song because much of the six minutes is talking and rehearsal.

[snafoolery]

@DayGloClam But, I like that part...

[DayGloClam]

@snafoolery But I don't. And it's my video. :)

[time4action101]

@DayGloClam ... -:)

[cajunsushi]

@snafoolery I like the talking too, it adds so much to the fact that it take alot to get it right and it's very interesting for me.

[sixtiesforever1966]

@kznte Yes but if it made the radio they would cut it to 2,1/2 minutes only song I have ever heard on the radio more than 31/2 minutes was Mac Arther Park. / Richard Harris and that was 7 min 25 sec, and that made the radio without cuts

[hardimanw]

I love this group-beautiful harmony and lyrics!

[zzzippo55]

i think  how i loved, felt, and my eyes are water , for all that we lost

[doctortabby]

This is such a brilliant composition/arrangement. I wish the record companies would wake up and smell the coffee and promote some good music instead of the crap they usually subject us to as of years of late.

[454something]

There was just something about them that warms my heart.

[Velvet30004]

Saw this group in concert at the Anaheim Convention Center in 1967 with The Beegees and I think a group called The Yellow Pages. I was a sophmore in high school. It was my first real date in a car and it was about a two hour drive from my house. We went with another couple in a Volkswagon beetle. I fell in love with their harmonies and still love this song.

[TheBacmaster]

Excellent group and song! Brings back many memories.

[hawkman672]

thank you for posting it prasie god for sunday morining

[blinkie7]

Margo Guryan?

[DayGloClam]

@blinkie7 Spanky McFarlane.

[Vincek88]

I remember hearing this song with a typical-for-1968 bit of psychedelic sound-collage business at 2:33 - I think there was some kind of law in effect that pop songs were required to do some Sgt. Pepper-y stuff somewhere.

[tmf945]

Reminds me of so many Sunday mornings spent with someone that is now gone...Thanks for the post

[aershamus]

Classic Production and great Sparky McFarland vocals-thanks for the post of this under appreciated classic

[FOSEEBOY]

this song brings TEARS to my eyes....( and a SMILE to my lips )

[koolhalo]

This song is an acquired taste. I remember disliking this song when I was a kid when it was 1st played on the radio. It then became one of my favorites from the 60's. Listening to it again helps me appreciate the voice of "spanky" MacFarlane". Her voice was hers alone! Fantastic.

[bluehorn50]

great - thanks - but this is not from the album pictured - and that was a great album - how about posts from that one -

[DayGloClam]

@bluehorn50 Don't have it and I'm not all that concerned about picture accuracy.

[flydadj]

Thanks for posting, it brings back a lot of memories from those days so long ago.

[DayGloClam]

@flydadj Thanks for commenting.

[sixtiesforever1966]

@flydadj IF, IF only we could relive those beautiful days. It was such a great time, the 60's and early 70's.

What I would give to relive them... Sir David

[flydadj]

@sixtiesforever1966 Yeah I'd love to relive SOME of those days...other days maybe not....but didn't we have the best music? Thank God I got to experience it first hand!

[sixtiesforever1966]

@flydadj Nice to see someone agree without reliving the bad times. We had the greatest music and now with YouTube we can relive it and even see some of the live concerts and TV shows they played.

Thanks Sir David

[time4action101]

@sixtiesforever1966 .. We had it made, and for me I thouht it could only get better, as a people and a nation with the arts following suit... man was I wrong... but the 60's + are preserved and in that respect we are blessed...

[aershamus]

@Day Glo-thanks for the post

[DayGloClam]

@aershamus You're welcome. 

[BOHEMIANMEX]

Remember is to live again, thanks for sharing this wonderful theme

[aershamus]

WHAT A VOICE- great arrangement for Spanky and co.- wow 60's classic!!

[aershamus]

A great Spanky and our Gang recording-long lost but revived here-a fabulous virtuoso of Spankys voice and exhibit of fab mixing

[javiersurfer]

[DayGloClam]
