the melody is J.S. Bach's from probaly around 300 years ago in 3/4 time. they changed it to 4/4 and made it into a song with lyrics. Music is timeless.
No doubt about it this was the sound of the 60's what a great ti9me to be growing up and in your teens never hear the like of it again, thanks for posting this fabulous song
I also played this song, I was 5 in suzuki class on th eviolin and the 1st time I heard it I thought it was Minuet in G by bach, thought "what? this has words?" of course if bach had words they would have been written in german of course :)
back in the days when people had the talent to sing live. If all you have is a publicistcand no talent (like everyone today) you wouldn't have the courage for live
great thing about growing up in the 50s and 60s is you had so many great songs,and great artists.plus various types of music that hadn't been compromised like today.from soul to rock from blues to country......it was pure.
I always thought this little song was precious ... but even moreso now that I have seen the girls perform it. The lead has a classically beautiful voice, and once the two others join her, it's clear they can ALL BRING IT -- and the SAX work is terrific ... so glad I found this !
Absolutely beautiful! Note that at the end, when the track fades before the voices, it's clear that they have all been singing live! What a nice surprise. I had assumed they were lip synching. Those pure voices are what we were hearing throughout. One of my favorite records!
@surfcityproductions i was listening hard after reading your comment and you are so right. the whole song sounds just a tiny bit different from the record, different inflections, etc. so refreshing when someone can actually sing.
first this is one awesome song, love this style of music!!! but, to bigger things, how do u all feel about how YT completely messed up our channels and took away from view our friends list and how we now have to go about contacting new and old friends!!! thats bull shit!!! i am so pissed off its not funny. we need to be heard out loud u all!!!! they didn't even consult us at all!!!!
This is one of those classic 60's pop songs that were too short. The sensation is like being bathed in honey, and bedding down on rose petals. The pubescence of the girls just complements the sweetness of the melody and of the portrait painted by the lyrics. It is like a rainbow pouring forth from your speakers. This would have worked well ten-years later in an FM-format, with an extended play version. Compare this to Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen...see how the pendulum swung in one decade.
Well they must have had something because it went to number 2 in the US and number 5 in the UK,sold more than two million copies and was a gold record.
I love this song,it's classic 60's harmonies and really takes me back,shame they didn't last very long as a group but at least we have this to remind us of how good they were.
I must be missing something unless you all are just warped.
this is a classic 60s track that easily makes my top ten of all time. Just love those lead vocals.....so full of emotion..............under rated group only to be loistened to on vinyl for their raw soul
@TheSuperportero1 Who is this ass Superportero? Who are you, Superportero, you ass? Bend yourself and your "superport" over for your butt buddies. This has nothing to do with homosexuality, which apparently is either your preoccupation.or your occupation. This is about music, and if you don't like it, get lost.
@TheSuperportero1 You obviously have repressed feelings, it might be that your Daddy made you feel it was ok to fancy your brother or it might be that you spent too much time watching the other boys in the locker room, whichever way it is, don't fret you can come out of the closet and nowadays people will not laugh.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
This is one of my favorite hits from the 60's. The melody is from Bach's minuet in G from "The Musical Notebook for Anna Magdalena", his second wife (His first wife died after bearing 8 children.) with whom he had 15 children.
@jfficht When I first heard this song on the radio, I was thinking it was Bach's "Minuet in G," which was one of the songs I played when I took piano lessons.
i just can't help thinking, back in the 60's, life was quit diff.t , lol. seeing vids. in B&W and how technology both in broadcasting and the music industry was so undeveloped! but, you can not take away the true sense of god giving talent!!!! there was a time line where song writing/performing really meant something. thank GOD i am old school!!!!! what is so wrong with the world today? love this!!! :))
I played this 45 until it turned from its original black vinyl color to a whitish gray shade; I loved it that much. Might have driven my parents a tiny bit crazy. I still have the 45 and I still have a turntable, too. I don't really need to haul it out and play it because now I have YouTube! Thanks for posting this, FunkSoBrudda!
Watched PBS and love to see the groups and individuals after all these years. See how much they have changed. Some still have their voices like these gals. Great stuff.
Memories. One of the greatest things that ever was. You tube is the greatest site ever to enter the net. I was in the Panama canal zone when this song was
popular and it had much meaning. I just started a 4 year career and my
sweetheart started college. I knew she needed to be set free and I did.
I still think of her and wonder what live would be like with her.
@gotch09 "Outdated" is not what you really mean; I think. What you really mean is that I dare use term that is not politically correct. That I don't reflexively defer to Negroes. The word colored is a polite referent to describe their racial/ethnic group, and an accurate one at that. I would encourage you to report me to the the federal government if you are an American or to the United Nations human rights commission for violating the civil rights of The Toys if you aren't. Live free or die!
@bjc1961bjc No, I'm serious. The term "colored people" is associated with ignorance, backwardness,stupidity and a total lack of education. In the south that's usually who uses that term. As far as reporting you to the UN or federal government-I'Il get right on that,. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
@gotch09 Frankly, I'm not surprised. Please use proper grammar and spelling. You must capitalize a direction when it is used to refer to a region of the country; hence the South or the West is the proper usage not "the south" as you so ignorantly put it. You degenerate baby boomers can't handle dissent. I will use what words I choose, and if "people" of your ilk don't like it so much the better.
@gotch09 You can't leave it alone can you? Not everyone has the same views or attitudes. A big surprise for you apparently. Pat yourself on the back and congratulate yourself for defending the "downtrodden" misfits and outcasts of society, and then send your donation to the NAACP or SPLC. Don't forget to feel smug and morally superior, not for any actions or deeds done, but for the ideas that you hold.
@bjc1961bjc Another brilliant argument I see. How can I possibly argue with such brilliance? Why, I'd have to dig Albert Einstein, to win any argument with you, wouldn't I??
@gotch09 First, I'm called ignorant and stupid then ridiculed for being "brilliant". You should make up your mind as consistency is a virtue. I don't expect anyone to agree with me. I for one will stand for free speech and liberty as opposed to the straight-jacket of political conformity. Give me liberty, or give me death!
@VeggieLover001 That's correct. When I first heard this song on the radio, I was thinking it was Bach's "Minuet in G." I knew because that was one of the songs I played when I took piano lessons.
when I see these vintage videos, my heart just long for those days of innocence and non complication, even in the "hood". I'll always will be true to the old school. I love everything (maybe not everything) about that era. How fortunate am I...
Man,.. inevitably when I've seen videos of GREAT COLOUR artist, I find hateful comments below... why??? Trying to define a winner for best musician, artist, president, teacher, priest, whatever by their skin colour is ABSURD! We are all humans, it's got nothing to do with the race... just with the talent one's born with... very MUCH regardless of our race...
@alexyalan it has everything to do with race black soul music is just that and white music is white music. black music is totally different from white music and it is nothing wrong with that. but if u check out the black music videos the white people are in the background looking like that they don't belong there or why they are there because black people were not allowed so that was racist. And we don't even wannan talk bout how some white artist stole black songs. so to each it's own!!!
I get what you are saying. However, I think that classifying music according to the singer's colour is sad... I believe it should only matter whether you have talent or not...
These three ladies really made this song a Concierto with their beautiful voices. I heard this song the other day for the first time in ages while I was at the grocery store, and I remembered to listen just now. Back then, you had to have real talent like these ladies. It's not like the stuff of today where voices are irrelevant. Great lyrics "You hold me in your arms and say once again you love me". They crescendo that, and it's beautiful! Thanks for posting this!
I remember this song from when I was about 3 years old, I remember seeing them on Ed Sullivan and they were wearing earrings made out of flash cubes, which was really hot back then.
I keep hearing this on the radio and never knew who sang it. It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Glad I was able to finally find the name of the song and the artist.
This is definitely not the recorded track of the voices--it is very different, inflections etc. The instrumentation might be played for them to sing to, but definitely 'live' singing. Still one of the treasured versions of a Bach work, the Menuet.
@voiceguy1 I can't say it was or wasn't recorded, but it's definitely not the original. It's a little less soulful and just a little more operatic. Having Johann Sebastia staring at them probably made made them a little more restrained. They sure don't look as if they're lip-synching; none of that goofy grinning and winking you see when there's no need to sing.
@lrd9999 Actually, in the 70s, it was proven that Bach did not write this minuet. This was in a second notebook presented to his wife which contained not only Bach's music, but other composers as well. This is now actually universally attributed to Christian Petzold. However, it keeps popping up on Bach cds.
@Kaat1220 I guess that means that some still believed it was Bach when this was recorded. It's good to know who the real composer was, but, to be honest, I'll probably remember this as the song that supposed to be by Back but wasn't; unless Christian Petzold becomes a household name. Now I'm bracing myself for the news that "Joy" by Appolo 100 was actually written by Bach's man-servant or something like that ;- )) .
1960s US girl groups rule - or do they? How about Japan's The Nenes and their 1970s hit 'Bye Bye Okinawa', but why can't I find it on Youtube? Oh please someone locate it for all of us out here. Let's start the search now for this Okinawan girl group's hit 'BYE BYE OKINAWA' . Get it on!
Too bad they didn't start the harmony sooner in the song. I never watched Hullabaloo back then. I was only 9 at the time. It's great that I can now see these performances. Thanks for posting it!
Minuet in G major - not written by Bach as most folks believe but probably by Christian Petzold. Still, a great tune written long before rock and roll was ever thought of. (I play it on classical guitar.) Thanks for posting.
The Toys -- Barbara Harris, June Montiero and Barbara Parritt -- got together in Queens in 1961. Discovered at a talent show by manager Vince Marc, the girls became proteges of songwriters Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell, who wrote The Toys' two hits (this one, which reached #2 and sold a million in the fall of 1965, and "Attack," which reached #18 a few months later). The ladies appeared in one 1967 beach movie, "The Girls In Daddy's Bikini," and then broke up in 1968.

@VeggieLover001 That's correct. When I first heard this song on the radio, I was thinking it was Bach's "Minuet in G." I knew because that was one of the songs I played when I took piano lessons.

Man,.. inevitably when I've seen videos of GREAT COLOUR artist, I find hateful comments below... why??? Trying to define a winner for best musician, artist, president, teacher, priest, whatever by their skin colour is ABSURD! We are all humans, it's got nothing to do with the race... just with the talent one's born with... very MUCH regardless of our race...
alexyalan 6 months ago
@alexyalan it has everything to do with race black soul music is just that and white music is white music. black music is totally different from white music and it is nothing wrong with that. but if u check out the black music videos the white people are in the background looking like that they don't belong there or why they are there because black people were not allowed so that was racist. And we don't even wannan talk bout how some white artist stole black songs. so to each it's own!!!

I get what you are saying. However, I think that classifying music according to the singer's colour is sad... I believe it should only matter whether you have talent or not...

These three ladies really made this song a Concierto with their beautiful voices. I heard this song the other day for the first time in ages while I was at the grocery store, and I remembered to listen just now. Back then, you had to have real talent like these ladies. It's not like the stuff of today where voices are irrelevant. Great lyrics "You hold me in your arms and say once again you love me". They crescendo that, and it's beautiful! Thanks for posting this!

This is definitely not the recorded track of the voices--it is very different, inflections etc. The instrumentation might be played for them to sing to, but definitely 'live' singing. Still one of the treasured versions of a Bach work, the Menuet.

Don't kid yourself. They're good singers, but they ARE lipsynching...that is the original mix.
voiceguy1 7 months ago
@voiceguy1 I can't say it was or wasn't recorded, but it's definitely not the original. It's a little less soulful and just a little more operatic. Having Johann Sebastia staring at them probably made made them a little more restrained. They sure don't look as if they're lip-synching; none of that goofy grinning and winking you see when there's no need to sing.
lrd9999 7 months ago
@lrd9999 Actually, in the 70s, it was proven that Bach did not write this minuet. This was in a second notebook presented to his wife which contained not only Bach's music, but other composers as well. This is now actually universally attributed to Christian Petzold. However, it keeps popping up on Bach cds.
Kaat1220 6 months ago
@Kaat1220 I guess that means that some still believed it was Bach when this was recorded. It's good to know who the real composer was, but, to be honest, I'll probably remember this as the song that supposed to be by Back but wasn't; unless Christian Petzold becomes a household name. Now I'm bracing myself for the news that "Joy" by Appolo 100 was actually written by Bach's man-servant or something like that ;- )) .

1960s US girl groups rule - or do they? How about Japan's The Nenes and their 1970s hit 'Bye Bye Okinawa', but why can't I find it on Youtube? Oh please someone locate it for all of us out here. Let's start the search now for this Okinawan girl group's hit 'BYE BYE OKINAWA' . Get it on!

Too bad they didn't start the harmony sooner in the song. I never watched Hullabaloo back then. I was only 9 at the time. It's great that I can now see these performances. Thanks for posting it!

Minuet in G major - not written by Bach as most folks believe but probably by Christian Petzold. Still, a great tune written long before rock and roll was ever thought of. (I play it on classical guitar.) Thanks for posting.

The Toys -- Barbara Harris, June Montiero and Barbara Parritt -- got together in Queens in 1961. Discovered at a talent show by manager Vince Marc, the girls became proteges of songwriters Sandy Linzer and Denny Randell, who wrote The Toys' two hits (this one, which reached #2 and sold a million in the fall of 1965, and "Attack," which reached #18 a few months later). The ladies appeared in one 1967 beach movie, "The Girls In Daddy's Bikini," and then broke up in 1968.
