[jmen4ever]

A great one hit wonder song.

[MGattorney]

Thanks, one of those "long forgotten songs" from one of the most significant years in history

[felinefanII]

The Prince of Darkness Ozzy was not in this band, ever, it's (another) Mike 'Oz' Osbourne. And the guy some people think is Ozzy, is the band's late singer Jimmy Bilsbury. Later enjoyed enormous success singing with the Les Humphries Singers.

[Greenhornet270]

I heard this song in New Orleans in September 1966; and I LOVED it....is goes back way farther than 1968!!!

[drno2150]

There are more pages of comments about a song, than I have ever seen.. specially for a "Minor Hit" LOL. Never Forget

[teamsterbrian]

Love was the name of the game, fool was my name! Still holds true today!

This song has just the right beginning. I mean, that is some serious guitar work! I don't know how many times I listened to this record in the summer and fall of 1968. Has to be in the hundreds, maybe even the thousands. Just knew it was one of my favorites, and still is, after almost 43 years. Just think! Will anyone know who lady gag-gag, any rap, maybe some metal, but the pops of the 60's and 70's will live forever. ABBA, The Beatles, etc..

[MickeyLS]

did you know that the guy behind the guy in the beige jacket wearing black is Ozzy Osbourne?

[RedSoxFan4eva1000]

@MickeyLS Holy Crap,It is Ozzy! Damn !

[B52sguy]

@RedSoxFan4eva1000 No it is not the "Ozzie" It is Mike "Oz" Osborne you are thinking of. Ozzie, had a very hard time distancing himself from what people thought. I mean, he went for years under this mantle.

[nanlisa]

One of the many songs that I first heard on WFIL Radio here in Philadelphia.

[Mklhorvath]

What towns were some of the personal photos taken? There seems to be a few that look like landmarks from my old home town.

[CPuck01]

The best song I have herd in a long while. Remeber before going to Nam and how much it meant to me. Have to hear that one again

[MegaZorro88]

MegaZorro88, I love this song. I did'nt know this was Ozzie until I heard the DJ on the radio say.

[nanlisa]

I was only 11 when this song first came out. Great song.

[drjay1116able]

Ozzy was never in this band. The bassist was a different"oz" Osborne...note the last name is even spelled differently.

[MALTOMEEGE]

@drjay1116able

A MAN WHO KNOWS HIS MUSIC HISTORY, GOOD FOR YOU, YOU WERE'NT TAKEN BY THAT RUMOR THAT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE....SOME ONE SHOULD TELL BARRY SCOTT OF THE LOST 45'S RADIO SHOW...THAT MIKE AND OZZIE ARE TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE..GOOD JOB drjay1116able

[drjay1116able]

@MALTOMEEGE Thanks for the kind comment!

[angelheart917]

[batskcab0]

What in the world does this have to do with Obama? Great song, but keep your political bias oout of it.

[pigurine]

Dont tell me what I can do or not do.

In the 60's we at least knew we had half

a chance, with this retarted communist

we have no chance. Look at the US we are being destroyed.

[ThisIsBilbo]

@rochebraziliano

And, you've got your head up your ass!

[wendydale1]

I used to love this song. Thanks for posting. I'm a grad of '68.

[rslitman]

Shame x 1 = Evelyn Champagne King

Shame x 3 = Shirley's Gang

But I prefer Shame x 2 = The Magic Lanterns

[recordmans1948]

great hit from great year 1968

[vandywilliam]

It doesn't seem logical that this group could make such a great recording, then wind up with the status of "one-hit wonder."

For a time, Albert Hammond ("It Never Rains in Southern California") was a member of this British group.

[maryroaten]

I heard this song with my newborn son on October 31, 1968.

[MusicDude86]

some memory you have!!!!

[maryroaten]

He has now been an Army Airborne Ranger for 22 years. One of the best memories of my life !!

[MusicDude86]

God bless!!!

[frightfan1]

Great tune. I attended that KQV Summer Festival of Stars with the Young Rascals and Tommy James and the Shondells on Friday July 5,1968 at Pittsburgh's Civic Arena. It was the first rock concert I ever attended. The 1960's weren't perfect,but in terms of pop culture,they were magical.

[centralparocker]

one of my favorite all-time songs....!!!!

[B52sguy]

I don't know how anyone could not like this piece of "classic Pop". I lived in NJ, out side of Philadelphia in 1968, Pennsauken, class of 65, to be specific, and on radio WIBG they played it all the time. I must have heard it 3 or 4 hundred times. It was covered by local bands, and they jazzed the rythym guitar up a few notches and man, it was terrific. Thanks for all your work on letting other people of today hear all this good music.

JF

PS; anyone remember 'Dancette' on Wed and friday?

[cajunhornet60]

this song was playing the day my son was Born....September 16th 1966...loved it then; still love it...

[djgof58]

I remember playing this 45 on the record player and turning it up loud caused feedback into the speakers and all i heard was rumble from the bass.

[ween275]

I have always loved this song since grade school. I can easily see The Grassroots doing this song also. When I play it on my CD mix, the volume automatically gets set to 10.

[bfowler49]

How can I get this song on my ipod

[smokeysport2]

74sodapop, this has been driving me crazy for years and I've never been able to find the song. I heard it maybe 3 times in the late 70s late at night on AM radio from one station that I think was in the Southern States. I've never heard it anywhere else or since then, which makes me think it was a regional hit. It had "Caroline, Carolina" in the lyrics which may have been the title, but the lyrics went "I heard the ocean calling your name, Caroline Carolina." Does this ring a bell? Thx, S.S.

[smokeysport2]

Many thanks G.T! Wow, I did find the album at the site you recommended. I have asked this question several times over the past couple of years with no answers, I was beginning to think I was hallucenating. S.S.

[foolsgoldsoma]

I really love this tune. Such a shame it never took off in the states like it should have.

[llandwrogy]

As I posted elsewhere,and just to put the 'record' straight,|Ozzy Osbourne wasn't that later famous one, but a bass player from Lymm,Cheshire,Mike Osbourne,obviously known to friends as Ozzy.He played mainly in Warrington groups semi pro,and was a pipe fitter by trade.I knew Ozzy for years and worked in various bands with him,last time at the Spa brook warrington with Billy Fogg.Happy days,Bob Duf.

[1mikeoz]

thanks for the comments about the lanterns ,happy days indeed bob,thanks for the good times,what became of billy fogg? mike osborne/bass vocals,magic lanterns(1968)

[claudia39c]

first time i heard this last sat-radio 2-superb

[macnemo]

Many thanks for posting that all-but-forgotten hit. Until I discovered your video, I erroneously remembered the song as having been recorded by Deep Purple. What a kick learning that the actual recording artists included Ozzy Osbourne! And thanks for the "time-trip"!

[stlaurence71]

Another great memory from the late 60's and 70's when music was easy to dance to and understand the lyrics

[movingon4ever]

A '68 favorite, which seems to have the intro borrowed a few months later for

"Galveston". Certainly a downer to expect

the Magic Lanterns on a radio, and boring

Glenn Campbell gets heavy airplay for a

marginal song,"Galveston". The city probaby deserves a better song. Shame,

Shame is a catchy classic, IMO. Enjoy!

[centralparocker]

the big finish is outta sight on this record....

[yasky55]

One of my all - time favorites!!

[yasky55]

One of my all - time favorites, from a great group!!

[jimandconnie]

Such an underrated song! Sounds even better now than it did in 1968.

[Chacmool]

Otra de las rarisimas rolas de los 60`s y por tanto, muy dificiles de conseguir! Yo la escuche por vez primera en 1970, en Radio Capital, en el inolvidable programa: "Estudiantes 12-60". Y si mal no recuerdo, creo que era el unico programa donde la tocaban!

[1400deadwood]

Another late 60s gem that I had completely forgotten!

[foolsgoldsoma]

A happier time in music.

[smokeysport]

Question, what's the lead back up instrument? A friend told me it's a Dobro. I've never heard a Dobro is that true? Btw, I love the backgroud picturs. It's especially good to see Natalie Wood again, what a tragedy.

[opolo2112]

Love the old pix!!!

[jameycruz]

Awesome.68 when it was great.

[languagedancer]

Nice one! Your vocabulary of classic pop hits just blows my mind....i had totally forgotten this one till just this minute.

I so appreciate your contributions to You Tube...i get butterflies in my tummy when i see the words "74sodapop sent you a video!" in my in box....i just know it's gonna be great and it always is....5 stars (as always)
