GARY PUCKETT AND THE UNION GAP &quot Young Girl&quot

[Happy54Girl]

What amazes me about this group, is Gary Puckett. He has an amazing voice for singing love songs. What a VOICE!!!!!

[Dolphindream15]

this was my favorate song from this group they were good look at those green outfits never seen them dressed like that,,its cool

[DonLicuala]

This is my personal favorite from the group. Somewhat difficult, written and performed in Eb major. This performance shows what guys had to put up with on the Ed Sullivan Show. Song cut to 2 minutes and the final verse changed to meet Ed's censorship. Still, Gary's voice is unmatched except perhaps by Tom Jones and Civil War uniforms in pastel colors. How mod is that?

[taracandle9]

It's all great... outfits, harmonies, lead vocal is awesome... Love how he sings words.

[rusty67ful]

very cool music and group old time classics

[MegaJav777]

Ed Sullivan tenía mal sonido?

[DonLicuala]

@MegaJav777 Mas que eso- Ed Sullivan era muy pesado y siempre quiso controlar los grupos musicales y los cantantes que se presentaron en su programa. El no entendía el cambio de gustos en la música, solamente que el podría ganar dinero en presentar los grupos aunque no le gustaron.

Yes!! I love this song too!! It's one of my faves!! But where the hell is the volume!!!! Such an amazing actual Live Video but really bad sound quality:( That sucks. :( Bumr......

[caroln1858]

Love this song....brings back old memories. It was popular for ever so long. Still hasn't lost it's charm.

[GRQUNDHQG]

One of my favorite date rape songs ever.

[DonLicuala]

@GRQUNDHQG Don't complicate it-just enjoy one of the greatest voices in pop music history.

Gary has been and always will be the kind, gentle man we've all grown to love. He likes to see himself as "Just the average guy", but with a set of "pipes" like his, he will be a music Icon for many, many years to come!

God Bless you Gary. You were awesome at the Angel's Depot benefit at The Moonlight Amphitheater in May, '2011.

[JmercLS1]

Met him Saturday. He performed right in town and after the show he signed autographs. I told him Young Girl was my favorite song. He seemed flattered that I was such a fan. I was the youngest guy there getting an autograph. He asked me, "How did you discover our music?" I told him how I have no use for today's music and that I don't like it. Before I Ieft, he shook my hand, smiled, and said, "It was nice meeting you." Very nice guy.

[imzadiana]

So this is what Gary looks like. I adore his voice but didn't know what he looked like - til now. Not bad. Not bad at all :)

[andrewps84]

How can anyone NOT love this group or this music...if you don't you must have no culture or else no good taste. 

[jtphotosquad05]

@andrewps84  Amen

[wouldntyoulike2know]

I think its pretty awesome that Gary was considered too 'risque' for TV in the 60s. :) And dang, why does he have to be sooo incredibly sexy? Even in his civil war outfit, I'd tap that. ;)

[d4seasons]

@wouldntyoulike2know i like Gary & the Union Gap name. they sang nice love songs. those nice outfits & their clean cut image. Puckett is still performing as solo today. too bad the other guys aren't performing w/ him.

[DonLicuala]

@d4seasons -It'd be nice if they snuck in a performance with the entire original group, huh?

[d4seasons]

@DonLicuala it would even be nicer if all his videos would be released on DVD. just wished the whole group had continued to perform. i've read that those original members have moved on to becoming businessmen & teachers. thanks for writing. it's always nice to hear from fans w/ the same interests.****

The keyboard player (Gary Withem) was my band/music teacher in Jr. High. Didn't realize until I was older that he was in such a popular band. Good guy.

[muzikk67]

@rruiz1069

so lucky

[kickassfan]

so good to see thanxs so much

[bigbreadeaterellis]

this song touches my heart because last year i fell in love with a woman who turned out to be married but i never found out till it ended.

and she was the one that was telling me to forget her but i couldn't it as by then i was so in love with her.

why she did that i will never know.

this is a beautiful song btw.

[CARLING1840]

@bigbreadeaterellis /////////////////omg.....I know what you mean,,,theres a guy in CANADA,,,sings this same song in his shows people go bonkers,,,,,,,Andy Probyn hes called check it out ,,,and smile ..Hes A real MAn like you,,,,fuck those bitches,,,,,you will and do desever better.....ANdy rocks

[txdixiegal]

Just like in Lady Willpower he had to change the words from "I'm afraid we'll to to far" to "how can this love of ours go on". It doesn't matter what he sings his voice is so beautiful. It's a shame artistic differences kept him from producing more music. We were cheated in my opinion. Gary you are the greatest. Did you ever record "Love Me Again" from the Nashville Now show?
