I saw this on Shindig in 1965. He close dout the show so the song was somewhat shorter. We all waited through the entire show to see this two minutes.
As I recall, there were three big prime-time shows featuring rock and roll artists of the day (around 1964 or 65) Shindig, Hullabaloo, and Hollywood a Go-Go. Probably on three different networks. In later years, Ian Whitcomb spoke almost as if he were embarrassed about "You Turn Me On," with it's panting refrain, but, heck, didn't it reach number one?
I used to have a Shindig video comp that used this as closing credits. Hee hee, Ian cracks me up and to think this was one of his more sedate moments.
Love how he bats his eyes on some parts. Too cute for me!

He kind of reminds me of Beck. Which makes me wonder if Beck was any way influenced by Ian.
