How do these people do it, call themselves We Five ? Where's the drums? That was the best part of this song!!!! Check out Suzanna Hoffs' version of this song on youtube, it rocks!!!
@hammerogod This lady is good and has a direct, historical connection to the We Five. But sorry. Bev Bivens has an utterly unique voice that is most certainly "about the singer." She is back, BTW. Hopefully we'll hear more of Bev soon.
This is a horrible knock-off of what was a great song by a great band. It has none of the joy, fun, and spark of the original. They may call themselves "We Five", but they are not.
You can catch Debbie Burgan, Debbie Graf as she was, in a cracking little video, "Good for Nothing Bill" when she was in a group called 'The Legendaires' way back in the sixties! Check it out folks! I think it's great!
It is defibitely Debbie Graf Burgan on the lead. Bev Bivens left the band after the second album. The band made 2 or 3 more albums and has been touring sporadically since then,

FASTER, old people, FASTER! And get some drums in there!! And stand closer! And jump around a lot! And stick in a little frug! Frug like you MEAN it!! and let that lady sing LOUDER a LOT louder and for crying out loud SOMEBODY GIVE THAT LADY A HUG!!!!!!!
You're an idiot. This was an acoustic jam, thus no drums. And these "old" people can run circles around some of these so called singers of today. Grow up.
Debbie and Jerry are great people! I played bass and sang for them back in the 70's. Spent lot's of time on the road with them, which, I'm pretty sure contributed to Jerry's hair loss.. Lot's of fond memories of many wonderful moments...
If you're a We Five fan. the new CD "There Stands the Door" is now out. A very worthwhile buy, both for the music and the insert, which tells their story in detail...
On the plus side, a new We Five CD is out at the end of February featuring some never-before released tracks from the original group. Looking forward to that!
Jerry Burgan is the only original member of We Five still with the group and the female singer these days (and for most of the group's existance) is his wife Debbie...
Yep, it would have...but I suspect she prefers to remain incognito. From what I gather, it hasn''t been all wine and roses for her. But what a singing voice!
Same age, same reaction. The best singer most people have never heard about...

definitely Terry Rangno, 40 years with WeFive, also a child actor star Somebody Up There Likes Me, countless tv shows, Red Skelton, Elizabeth Montgomery Variety Hour etc
FABULOUS!

They are all alive which is happy; think Spanky and our Gang, to name one group, and they sound GREAT!

Debbie doesn't even come close to Bev. She just doesn't have the sound of the 'soul' that Bev did.
Not knocking her or anything, but it is not Bev.

No, it's not Bev Bivens (Marshall) but she can harmonize so well who cares? ... it's about the Song and not necessarily about the Singer.

This lady singing lead is possibly Jerry Burgans' wife Debbie. Jerry reformed We Five at a later stage it's certainly not Bev Bivens.
