[pompadourssuck]

HA. I LOOK LIKE TH3 GUY @ 1:00 THO.



[pompadourssuck]

BETTER THAN MY BAND. ILL SAY THAT MUCH.

[Cliffddweller13]

still waiting for People's follow up hit !!

[shulamit1991]

Youtube has a video called "I love you Zombies stereo version" What movie is the song playing over?

[Solarshoji]

In 1970, my two best friends and I requested this song so many times on KPAM-FM in Portland, Oregon that the DJ finally said no more.

[lancetop]

Written by Rock God Rod Argent.

[LittleNim]

@lancetop

Actually, I Love You was written by bassist Chris White. The Zombies were fortunate enough to have two gifted songwriters and three very talented vocalist.

[lindafoltz]

Oh, thank you for posting this! It came out the summer of 1968 and I LOVED it then! I have it on an old, warped 45! :D But now I can listen to it on my computer!

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

I remember hearing this on AM radio in '68 or '69. It was a minor hit for a couple of months and then disappeared and became largely forgotten. I just recently found out The Zombies originally did it.

[ladybluetexan]

i looked for this song for about 12 years before i found it on a 60's hit CD.

thanks for posting it. it is still one i sing in my head, even after 40 years....

[rfranklinw1]

@ladybluetexan I have the original 45 record

[funnydonna]

Heard this on the radio this am, hubby & I have been cuddling & nuzzling ever since...

[11xzxzxz]

And I don't know what to say. I'm flabbergasted that this song is so much better than any released in the last decade (pretty much anyway). Zombie-ish organ .. it would have been better to go harder guitar solo ?

[etiennesgram]

I loved Larry Norman and the others in the group...too bad the others got involved in Scientology...but Larry found Jesus and did a lot of composin after that and has left behind a great legacy of music glorigying God! RIP Larry David Norman!

[hildawhitby]

It's a good song, but it imitates the Zombies' original almost note-for-note.

Ah, well, Larry spent a whole career imitating other peoples' music, so that shouldn't be a surprise.

[briankelly909]

i'm gonna see and hear this video again...it's been a while...i just read all the notes going back 4 years ago! the main message i get is that a person chooses to listen to themusic they like and tend to gravitate to what "makes them happy." Larry would agree that music was first created to glorify and please God but it also please our senses as we were created by God to enjoy God in ALL things.

[LiquidGardener]

I used to work for Capt. Mikey who produced this song for People. He was a true genius :)

[nedthetoothpick]

A true true classic. I still have the album.

:-)

[edweenah3]

who remembers this song and group from the late 60's LARRY NORMAN AND THE GROUP "People" great tune though

[CJurasin]

I remember this song when it came out, but the Zombies wrote it and I believe did a more "intense" job of performing it....along with other songs they wrote and performed. Check them out here on YouTube and see...... ;-)

[funnydonna]

@CJurasin I liked the People for its rough/rawness, but the Zombies version was a smooth, finished product.

[briankelly909]

This isi my fav Larry Norman vocal and I thought when I first heard it I thought it really rocked. It still does. Larry's voice was great (I'm sure it does and is even better with Jesus in heaven). Great organ solo. It's just one of those simple yet profound songs.  Rest in God's peace, Larry. I can't wait to meet you after Jesus in HIs kingdom.

[writerjmd]

@briankelly909 I hope he's a nicer person that he was when he was on earth.

[sweetypye2]

were can you find his song i've looked on amazon and walmart and can't find it for my ganny

[golfer6716]

I had dinner with Larry Norman back in 1986 in Thousand Oaks, CA. He was even hard to communicate at that time as he said he was having trouble with his brain after hitting his head on the ceiling of an airplane. A very interesting guy to say the least.

rip

[Planktontwo]

RIP Larry Norman! God Bless the lives you touched while on earth.

[ravendofthemist]

I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY(and on and on and on).

BREAKING NEWS: It is official at 3:17 p.m. (EST), Sunday, November 8, 2009 (Common Era) that PATSY ANTHONY DiMAURO, SENIOR, was-is now-and ever shall be CREATOR, LORD & GOD of the entire Universe. Also note that HIS FIRST AND ONLY WIFE, LUCY MARY DiPietro - DiMAURO, is HIS most beautiful and cherished possession. THEY existed before any of us - THEY have been through alot because of us - THEY are all that is. So wrote, So is.

[JJMFB1]

@oneworks I don't know if you are just acting the fool or you are in a cult as these people who the ....... they are insane and not anything more than you or I a person who will answer to the real Lord of this universe Jesus Christ,also nothing has happened since your call about Nov.2009 you are a quack and need real mental help

[Buffallodan66]

My mom had this on 45. It sounds a little different but i am so happy to find it!

Thanks for sharing!!!

[elcocoye22]

Musical genius? It's relative. Example, Hang on Sloopy a McCoys hit was originally My Girl Sloopy by the Vibrations. Music penned by Bert Russell, a mambo music fan that borrowed the riff from the old cuban rhumba masters of the 40's. Lyrics refer to a jazz pianist Dotty Sloop who performed in gay club on Bourbon St. Nowadays Rick Derringer re-lives his McCoy days on 'em oldies revival shows. I doubt he or his fans have a clue of it's origen. We could go on and on... I Love You was and is cool!

Crecenzo - Thursday, September 17, 2009 C.E., 12:19 p.m. (EST)

[iconoclast911]

Sooo 60s. Way cool. Larry Norman, I love you

[Behutet93]

I saw them a few times at the fairgrounds in San Jose in the late 60's. Excellent live band.

[lordsenneian]

my father was the original drummer on this track. he's not in this vid.

[BeeCeereeus]

I Love "I Love You."

[ravendofthemist]

england, i love you, but the words should explain, but the words won't come.

[mpjrdldn]

We used to laugh at this song when it came out. But, we LOVED it!

[PWitness]

1:17 is *so* awesome.

[12feed]

Hahaha I think so too.

[yockybunny]

This is so 1967!! Very Psychedelic!! :)

[Geraldolini]

This is a Zombies cover. And, I don't know WHAT to say!

[eatsee]

wonderful oldies, thanks for sharing! really wonderful, brings back a lot of memories!

[saipanrick]

"Apple Cider" is available on "Best of People! Vol 2 - 40 Year Anniversary" from Larry Norman's official website, Larrynorman(dot)com. Go to "Store" then pg. 2 of the "Collector's Corner".

[jrobertallen]

Someone please e-mail and tell me where I can find a recording of the song "Apple Cider" by The People. I have been looking for it for years. Please.

[twangblaster]

I too have been missing this song for 40 years. I couldn't remember the name of the band. I saw them on 'Don Websters Upbeat" show in Cleveland when I was a kid. I keep hoping it will turn up here one day. Thanks for posting!

[nhbright]

The Zombies play it live in concert now and it is wonderful to hear (their version was first but The People had the American hit)

[Greenames]

Nice song however this version is missing the first verse.

[hankyhoyo]

The song is playing too fast. I still have this single which I bought in 68. Great song. It sounds like its playing at 50 something rpm.

[RosyShocker]

The speed it plays at on this particular one, is the same speed it plays back at on the "We Wish You A Larry Christmas" CD

[squidaudio]

Also would like to add that the Mp3 for this song "I Love You" by Larry Norman of his band People! can be purchased on iTunes under browse Music, Rock, Larry Norman. It is 3:37 in length, and is in perfect audio and is unbelievable!!! I really don't care for any of his other songs. Sorry Larry, but a one hit wonder isn't bad! Rest in peace my brother and may you play "I Love You" every single day for us from up above the clouds! Peace!

[hudent]

Great Tune Gentleman,I was 13 years old in 67

[squidaudio]

the words should explain, but the words won't come...I LOVE YOU by People! is San Jose's Anthem song. I thank you Larry Norman for giving us this song! Being a San Jose native (1954) makes me proud to adopt this song as our own!

[squidaudio]

Oh, and rest in peace brother...

[RonDeanP]

Larry Norman is amazing. Was and always will be . . . I love you.

[arlingtoncliffwood]

I had to look this song up when I heard it on the Grammys tonight. They said Larry Normna invented Christian Rock. I had never heard of the guy, but I sure recognized the song. Lear something new every day.

[candletoon]

I think they played this song at the Grammy's tonight in the tribute portion (I think the lead singer died this year). I had to find it to listen to the full version. Great song.

[cornmashmeanscash]

I loved this song in high school, it was such a hit.

[dkk294]

Thanks for the info. But covering is not stealing. The Zombies were paid for this cover.

But you educated me for sure

[golfer6716]

Why would you assume I like Rap, dumass. I hate RAP by the way. But thanks for asking. I like Daniel Amos, Tonio K, Ramones, Stryper, GNR, The Zombies, Randy Stonehill, Motley Crue, Hole, and my favorite, Amy Grant.

[golfer6716]

That hippie music sure sounds like crap today. I guess it sounded better at the time when you were high. You can never go home again.

[Planktontwo]

So what do you listen to? Rap? Oh my, now there is quality. Just appreciate this for the quality this is and leave us listen to what was the best era of rock n roll. Thank you saipanrick for posting this classic.

[JD00014]

@golfer6716 - Our generation did use too many drugs. Thus, we now have to put up with inane comments made by the offspring.

[nhbright]

I read an article that indicated that Chris White, the composer, liked The People's version. He agreed with me that when the Zombies play it now it sounds more like The People's version than the original Zombies sone. I ike on The People's version when the notes are higher on, " and oh how hard I try to tell you".

[cherylharrell1961]

I have the 45 of this & so does my hubby. This is such a pretty song. They never play it anymore but it used to be on the radio alot when I was a kid back then. I had an old 8-track tape of Larry Norman yrs ago but lost it. He's up there singing in heaven. The Zombies version is a good one too.

[Wolfiebabie]

Thanks! ;o)

[POLS430]

That's funny.

[guitrman56]

wow! I didn't know Larry Norman was in the band People!! That is amazing! I always yearned to learn to sing like that.

[packzap]

Looks like this video was filmed at the magnificent sand dunes on the Oregon coast between Florence and Coos Bay.

[mottledbrain]

My goodness. I just listened to the Zombies. I thought that was the version I knew as a kid. No, this is it! Thanks for the memories.

[mongabella]

omg i have been looking for this gem havent heard this for over 40 years, (form Jeff's purple girl)

[oleepo]

Excellent..........thanks...

[ddrucilez]

These guys were friends of mine back in 68' in San Jose Ca. Great Band!

[roberttix]

They were also friends of mine in 68 in Santa Clara. I got to know them through their involvement with Scientology

[kurtcobainiac]

Wow, I don't even remember favoriting this, but sure am glad I did! A lot of good memories from the time this song got a lot of airplay in So Cal. Thanks for sharing.

[tigerssixty]

Terrific!! One of favorites that collects dust now. So does my stereo.

The Volumes did a song by the same title.

Thanks for the music/video post.

[olhobbler]

totally different song

[tigerssixty]

I said a song, not the same song. Same title.

[bushna2007]

I remember doing my cousin while this song played on her record player. She would leave the swing-arm off the record player so it would play over and over. Mmm!!

[oldiengoldie]

You got it man! rock on Larry!

[SlashGordon]

Larry Norman left a great legacy.

I like the longer version of this song by The People w/ LarryNorman... although, all the versions I've heard are good.

Rest in the Lord, Larry!

[whosegeneration]

did the zombies cover this?

[zombfan]

No, the Zombies are the originals!

[whosegeneration]

ok, yeah, that makes more sense

[clovisman]

The Zombies did the original, but I believe that it was a bigger hit for "The People" Perhaps their only actual hit. I personally like this version better even though I do like The Zombies a lot.

[phillydog17]

I saw The Zombies last Saturday night at Atlantic City. LOve Em!!!!

[drbcook]

I listened to this song on the radio but I never knew Larry was singing this song brings back memories thanks.

[dhlloyd68]

Hey this song still rocks over 40 years later! Play it loud!!!

[jegovernor]

hell yea, we need to band together and save the music from all this new unoriginal BS! from rap to rock to country modern music other than a few exceptions has all gone to shit...we as consumers musn't add fuel to the already outta conrol fire by giving into this shit!

[Planktontwo]

Classic song by a forgotten group. RIP Larry Norman. I heard of his passing on the Tommy James message board.

[oldiengoldie]

Why is it whenever anyone says this old music is so much better than todays crap, some of you morons give it a thumbs down? Are you that brainwashed?

[clovisman]

You've already answered your own question..they are morons and they are brainwashed. This is great..Larry Norman rocked.

[oldiengoldie]

shed? Todays music sucks donkey balls! Get over it!

[77quin]

It was originally written and performed by the Zombies in 1965. Both versions are great!

[tallcoolslovak]

I agree, both versions sound great.

[fadguru]

No doubt, one of the truly GREAT songs of mid 1960s pop music. TOTALLY UNDERPLAYED on oldies radio stations. Disc jockeys are you listening???

[renindy]

It ia amazing that this exists at all. Wonder if there is a better copy?

An irony - Intersting that there were music videos LONG before MTV. And now you can't find videos on MTV.

Larry is already being missed.

[bnetwise]

Good performance of a good song

[bigcoolviking]

CalvinBergsma Rock on Brother! Good Attitude! Iam pretty gutted he is dead like!! He felt like family to me .... The very foundations of progressive contemporary gospel... ! Sad Day !

[Malus1400]

Wow. It's amazing that this exists at all, but I wonder if there's a better print out there?

[beefheart67]

everyone that this was the beatles

[JTuttle24]

Ooooh la la!

[CalvinBergsma]

Thanks for the ealy Larry Norman Post!

He so influenced me and our Christian Rock band Bergsma Brothers Band in the early 70's

that I as a 52 year old pastor I often still perform his Hard hitting songs... they are timelessly relevent! "Rock on in Heaven Larry Norman I'll join you later!"

[TheSpindles]

Larry Norman has passed away. He was 60..

[brookss0505]

this is when music was music. not what we have today

[HomerWinslow]

Sooo cool to hear this again. I still have the 45 of this. I saw them at Universal Studios during a free concert there in '69. They did a cover of The Beatles' "I am The Walrus" LIVE! Can you believe it? And they nailed it!! Yow!

[drbcook]

Brings back old memories where did time go...

[stant6]

Wasn't there a long version of this song?

[rajahzeetar]

....i love this song... one of my all time favorites!!! yes...the 45rpm single i had had a rather lengthy introduction that was way cool. this music will remain as a testament to an era.

[junkdrum]

I saw them at an all-ages dance in Morgan Hill. They had two drummers and more of a San Francisco sound than their Brit-pop hit would lead you to believe.

[56Mercgal]

When was that dance?? I live in SAlinas,CA and would have loved to see them there!

[rslitman]

This song was done earlier by the Zombies (of "She's Not There", "Tell Her No", and "Time of the Season" fame).

[lonestarebel]

enjoyed them near san jose & hired them for a dance for years after the only way i could hear them was by catching the song on radio.thanks saipanrick. way i remember the end of the band was a problem over a girl and band members not wanting to rehearse wow 40 years since they played but there was bad blood at the end.a real shame too,wonder what delights they'd have treated the world to if they had stayed together

again thanks for the memories that the peoples sound evokes

[lulitanaka]

this a youtube miracle! thank you saipanrick

[56Mercgal]

I hope Larry gets better! I love this song, thanks so much for posting!!

[letsburnrubber]

That girl has tons of make up!!!!

[cindiedavis]

Oh my goodness - this was also ONE of my favorites -- it's so wonderful to listen to it now. Videos are better these days tho ;)

[skagream]

This was one of my favs' back in the day. I thought then, and now that is was a great song and band. It is so awesome to find it here.

[westonhallclark]

Larry Norman and The People were separately inducted into the San Jose Rocks Hall of Fame last Friday night. Larry, whom I knew in high school, is sadly in very poor health from what I hear is heart disease. The People did "I Love You" and two others, and Larry did three songs by himself.

[wesclark49]

Last night, I went to the San Jose Rock and Roll Hall of Fame second annual induction ceremony. The People was inducted, as was Larry separately. The members of People hadn't played together for thirty-nine years! They did three of their hits. When Larry appeared on stage, it was shocking. He walked slowly, and looked like Johnny Winter. I learned he has a very weak heart. He could still sing and play guitar. He sang three songs, and did a little proselytizing.

[lizajane54]

I remember it from the '60's but had no idea Larry was in this....

[Dano853]

Is it just me or is it almost beyond comprehension that they made a music video in 1960something?

[saipanrick]

In 1957, Tony Bennett made a film for the song "Stranger In Paradise" that was shown on TV stations in the US and UK. The term "music video" is said to have been coined by "The Big Bopper" in 1959.

[vebtube0826]

There were plenty of "videos" made in the '60's..there just wasn't any place to play them..we were lucky if we got to see our favorite bands on Ed Sullivan or Dick Clark. The youth of today could never comprehend it..you are SO lucky!

[ekletiko]

it seems to me that here we have one of the first signs of progressive rock...

[pepefloyd]

i love this song :)

[MaccaSpan]

The video is a bit sped up, but I'm sure that's just cause it's old. This was just a stepping stone for Norman.

[jessebabyaly]

Wow. I thought I was the only person who remembered this song. Thanks for posting it.

[VApplegate412]

"The People" were an important part of the San Jose music scene in the late 1960s. Along with others i.e. The Syndicate of Sound, (Hey Little Girl) and The Count Five.(Pshycotic Reaction)Thier first Capitol Album "I love You" contained the very first Rock Opera Ever! That's right, even before the Who's Tommy. It is called "The Epic" and is the story of a Dragon Slayer. The People were WAY ahead of thier time.What a shame Larry Norman resigned following a dispute with the record company.

[lalavannah]

Larry left the band because several of the menbers were into scientology and they required him to embrace it as well. Since scientology conflicted with his christianity he decided to leave the band.

[dylannut69]

This was one of the first rock songs that I fell in love with...Larry Norman went on later to do gospel rock....great stuff!

[Bobbytoo]

wow! thanks for sharing!

[merryberry1234]

It's weird how music went from "I Love You" to "I Hate You " in about 30 years. It's weird how technology is getting better and people are getting I think, worse.

[sounddude51]

These were called promotionals back in the late 50s and 60s. This is from 1968 and there were quite a few before this one.

[Furches]

Great job and thanks for tubing. I just added the vid to The Virtual Pew group here at YouTube.

[mandyeb]

Wow, I remember this song. Didn't know there was a video!!!

[albrodie]

I remember seeing this on TV when it came out. I suspect American Bandstand ran it.

[100MPG]

Must be one of the first pop films/videos!
