He sold the publishing to Lou Adler in '69 for peanuts, he lost a million dollars and was stacking cases of beer to survive by '75. Tragic guy.

Great song. Great performance. Wow, this guy could write.

[diddywahdaddy]

WOW!!!

[gerherbel]

Johnny's is better than this

[californiacat1313]

Had the real pleasure of hanging out with Phil as my boyfriend, Keith Graves, played drums with him at West Fest in San Francisco on October 25/09. We had fun the night before, too, when they rehearsed at Prairie Prince's studio. Sally and John Tivens also played with them.

This is fantastic acoustic version of the tune by the guy who co-wrote it.

[timeywimeylord]

He's a really cool guy. I had lunch with him once, my dad is friends with him. Really nice guy.

[ARP7777777]

@timeywimeylord Me too! ! Wow!

[ccmkoho]

Johnny Rivers is acoustic version blows this awsy. Vocals and guitar average at best.

[dbailey62]

Too bad Johnny didn't write it. He'd be a rich man today. He's fortunate that PF chose him to sing the song for the tv show!

[eleeking]

I agree, this is ok. But Johnny Rivers is better

[AlbanHells]

I never think that a man learn this tune for real!!!! =) Good Job but i hope that you've cut your hair the 80.s are dead

[lovetheoldies]

yeah, this guy is the coolest! eve of destruction written at 19 years old.

[KHooves]

P.F. Your Great!

[oakandwillow]

Way Cool.

[cbimbi]

youre rite maryquant: this guy deserves the Hall much more than Michael Jacko does...but these nominations have heavy commercial weight..

[kybourbonboy]

If you can remember the 60s, then you weren't really there.

To really appreciate PF Sloan now, you had to be there then. Context means a lot.

[twiggystick]

Amen to that! The Association - who did a Jimmy Webb number "P. F. Sloan" - should also be in the Hall of Fame. Wake up, you people!

[maryquant1967]

This man deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame about a million times more than the likes of........ugh.....Madonna.

[zolizly]

P.F. Sloan alone sound better tha Johnny Rivers...alot more cooler!!!

[hollies65]

While I love PF Sloan..who is one of the truly great 60s songwriters...his version is not in the same league as Johnny Rivers.

[todiane4]

I love the nuances in this version. Here the song in a new way. I personally think it's refreshing to hear another rendition than the same old, same old--and from the source no less.

[slothman001]

ABSOLUETLY FANTASTIC!!! P.F. Sloan LIVES!!!

Wow, that was one great performance. I love P.F. Sloan. I wish somebody wopuld put out his first two albums on CD already, for God's sake! (and tons of unissued stuff, like Me and My Captain, etc)

Thanks a LOT for posting!

[weapon257]

PF Sloan sounds better acoustic than the musicians who performed his songs in the late 60s. genius.

[slowdancer77]

Ain't no way this is better than Johnny Rivers! He's the MAN! Some songwriters are better left to writing songs! This guy is one of them!
