  • This was my song in high school and still one of my favorites. Although crudely produced by today's standards, it has an energy rarely found in any music

  • Lovely. Lovely. Lovely. This song exists as a part of my earliest pop awakenings. Part of the gestalt, if you will... The squealing horns are the key element for me.

  • good beat

  • awesome song!loved it when i got a copy of song in 1975.replaced it in 1990 when the 45 was wearing out.an a+ hit.do today's music get an A+? not many in the pop music(if any at all).

  • Great, great song. I had the privilage of living the "60's". What a great era for music and TV but I would miss the remote control. LOL

  • NotGuilty.... EYE bought this in '66, also. I still have mine...... Rock on !!

  • The very first record I ever bought

  • One of my all-time favorites! When they recorded this, the core musicians were there. The brass instruments were layered over later.

  • great song...where are all the views......man, this is one of the top 100 oldies of all time.

  • This is the 45 I bought back in 66. Left it in the back of the car and it warped.

  • Summer of '66 we'd be driving around on hot nights with songs like this on the radio turned up as loud as it would go, a carful of us crazy kids singing along at the top of our lungs... It was fun.

  • great song good memories

  • Love the oldies, greatest hits ever.

  • One of the GREATEST pop/rock songs ever written,recorded,performed

    live EVER! It brings me as much joy as it did in 1966!

  • this is kate middleton's song!!!

  • RIP Tommy King

  • Great classic! Certainly better than the 'music' being released today!

  • I remember in the 60's the TV's looked like tanks with them funny protruding metal rods. : )

  • Oh, SportsnutIM, now you've gone too far. TV in the 60s was no better than the drivel we get 50 years later -- Only the producers and writers couldn't get away with the junk that the current crop does.

    I used to listen to this song on WKNR Keener 1300 and WKFR Keener 1400 in Michigan -- great boogie music!

    I wonder if this song was written in response to the 1950s ballad, "(If it takes forever,) I will wait for you."

  • If they don't play this tune in heaven then I don't wanna go.

  • @MaceMn Lord,he doesn't really mean that.

  • First time I discovered this song was in the sound track of Time Cop. I love this song and there are so many versions of it. But definitely this is my favorite and it was nice to hear it after all those years. I wonder if this is the original because the others didn't have the same complete orchestra sound.

  • @rickyrosan This is the version that received airplay on am radio back in 1966. Thanks for listening.

  • @whopfrog2 a radio hit a lot of airplay but nobody bought it like black is black who would buy this record it it annoying listen to gene pitneys version its funny

  • @rickyrosan

    This is the original. It came out in the spring of 1967.  I was just home from Vietnam and they appeared in a Rock'n'Rroll show at the kentucky State Fair I attended. All the orchestration was missing from the "live" performance of course.

  • @JimmyRockster Thanks for the info.

  • What a tune! I've had this on vinyl for about 20 years but couldn't play. Finally managed to track it down on CD

  • I'd rather listen to classic music like this one and others than watch TV.

  • @SPORTSNUTIM Same here. TV was a lot better in the 60's too, even though there weren't many channels or remote controls.

  • @whopfrog2 They had remote controls on the really expensive tv's, especially Zenith color floor models.

  • @SPORTSNUTIM Right on! I've got the TV on mute and listening to these classics on YT.

  • It's 6:17 on WKYC with your leeeeeader Jackson Armstrong, Tommy King and Sonny Geraci's Outsiders fifth week in a row at number #1 .... one of the very best of all time.

  • What a great song & don't forget Respectable that song rocks too

  • music couldnt get any crisper than that

  • Nothing souds like the good old vinyls. NOTHING.

  • it's so amazing that you find people your age on these channels!

  • @babyzach2012 1966 was only a few day ago!

  • @rogerrrubin I got a very weird question, one that requires imagination. take a look at the swirling capitol logo, does the orange and yellow remind you of grilled cheese and tomato soup?

  • @asl126 no, but it does look like egg nog that I swirl into my bloody marys

  • @babyzach2012  how close are You to my age, 73?

  • I just love the sax and the trumpet on this song, especially at the end, they're perfect., not too much but just at the right times. Wow.

  • Back in the old days of KRTH-FM in Los Angeles, when they played a mix of currents and oldies, this used to be a great top of the hour ID record. Sounded killer coming out of the top of the hour ID. Still one of my 3 all time favorite records.

  • @rockola63 mine to LOL!

  • A great tune that will last forever. Watched the videos of the guys. Where is the organ player? Is he the one throwing clothes from behind the set?

  • Brings back cool memories.
