It was the first day we met him, we worked with him for two weeks and got to know him a lot better, we grew to love him, and we were all very sad when he passed.
Gene McDaniels was to me the best early 60's male singer the in US i love his songs and have Many of them i am very sorry to hear too late that the big G has gone. he is remembered by me for songs like Point of no return.Chip Chip,a Hundred Pounds of clay my favorite A Tower of Strength,, Spanish Lace,Curiosity, Another Tear Falls he sang that in the movie its Trad Dad ,Take a chance on love . he was a very very talented singer /songwriter miss you gene R.I.P.
The girls didn't look too enthusiastic while Gene was playing, but they sure gave him a loud applause when he finished! What a wonderful song, thanks for posting.
I will never forget seeing him at Maidstone Granada, England, in 1961 with Johnny Burnette and US Bonds. I still play his songs constantly - what a voice!
Oh, Yeah those girls look thrilled!!! Silly, sweet, young dumb things. Don't know what a great artist they were amongst. Now we've lost another beautiful artist & human being. R.I.P. Your Songs & Soul will Live on in our hearts. Bless You, Gene
That was beautiful Gene.Your songs were special then and they are still special to this day.You were a big part of my rock and roll teenager years.I bet our Creator likes your music and is probly listening to you right now.Will miss you......Louis
These girls had no idea who this man was and by not knowing could not enjoy the beauty of his music. His voice is beautiful. You could hear the same voice in him but just in a lower tone. BEAUTIFUL.
just saw the death notice at wicki .. it happen's like that sometime's and it alway's make's me feel slow. it's as if i wasn't hearing properly or didn't pay attn to what's important.
My favorite of your early hits is "Tower of Strength." Your genius for song is shown by the improvised (or perhaps not?) vocalization you do as the song fades out. Though I only ever knew two of your records, when I came to be seriously interested in music and looked to the past, you immediately stood out as a true master just because of what you did in that fadeout. (Oh, please check out my OWN melodies in my channel, and if you like them do let me know!)
You are a phenomenal singer and songwriter to say the least. "Tower Of Strength" and "A Hundred Pounds Of Clay" are two fantastic great masterpiece pop songs of all time. And I very much also enjoy your other albums too. Your music is uplifting and spiritual as well and I would like to know when you are going to perform in New York City or even Maine because I would definitely like to catch one of your live shows.
This is really a great version to a song I've played and enjoyed since it came out. Gene's secret weapon ( if somebody can find it) is his BOP masterpiece "Straight no Chaser"...talk about a smokin' hot artist!!!!!!!!!!!
What kind of sorry A-hole clicks I don't like on this?
3 of them so far.
I'm confused.

Half of those girls are made of clay, the rest are made of high fructose corn syrup and too many video games.
