  • ...this is just as Beautiful today as when It first came out !!! ~~~ [ I well remember , as the 60"s were my teen years ---born in 1947 ] ~~~"Take me back"!!!

  • This is really music  compared to the shit they make today!

  • the music had to be great great escape from crap that was going on in the world russia .vietnam the total disgusting assasinations by the right wing in this country and of cource segregations and the hanging of black people in the south

  • Liars! Silence isn't golden - it's easy.

  • I grooved to this song in high school. 

  • Another great classic. It makes me happy and sad at the same time. Happy to listen to such a great tune from a bygone era, but also sad that the music of today just doesn't come close. Maybe that's just me!

  • Born in 1954, and I still can't believe how lucky I was to have grown up in the 60's.....the sheer volume of great music is incomprehensible.

  • I was born 1955 and enjoyed the richness of the music of that era. Of course we diddnt realise how lucky we were then but wow what an experience we had. Im so lucky

  • I was born in 55 and enjoyed the wealth of fantastic music from that time. I am privilidged

  • songs with meaning. not much of that today if not any

  • I recall hitch hiking to the new Aurora Arena, in order to catch The Tremeloes live on stage. Their showmanship was truly amazing. If my memory serves me correct, the admission fee was only $10.00 to see The Tremeloes and two other great Canadian bands in action. Can never forget the Shades of Memories, from the Roots of Rock.

  • Does anyone know who the two band members are that are in the two white suits? They look so alike, they could be twins. I love this song, their harmonies are that good. Nothing like these British Groups of the 60's, which is the era of my teens.

  • Just look at those smiles. These guys are having a ball, the time of their lives.

  • "Pop Goes The Sixties" seemed to be an odd program .. Jimmy Savile and a non-english speaking German presenter. But this is a 1969 appearance. Their 1967 apperance doesnt exist anymore (except for a BBC documentary about TOTP). Too bad, but this is only 2 years later, so not so bad -- and in Color (we all know about the BBC erasing their 60's tapes!).

  • I have no idea how I ended up here, but great song.

  • I just adore this part of the song:

    How many times will she fall for his line

    Should I tell her or should I keep cool?

    And if I tried, I know she'd say I lied

    Mind your business, don't hurt her, you fool

  • This music will never die!

  • A very valid cautionary tale.

  • Was qouted in the movie "Escape From L.A."

  • AWESOME

  • I have Known This Song All My Life

  • Mrandy36 your are so right. Fortunately I grew up with this

  • Yes 50/60s were great years for the music .. but some good also came in later years.

    Susan .. southern africa

  • nobody running up to the stage? wheres the surcurty

  • They could have become the Bee Gees

  • my mum used to sing this to me when our house of 7 children was so quiet, me youngest lay silent and content listening to her voice. Now that I'm 26 and my parents have passed on, I sing this to my two rascals and it does wonders when it comes to bedtime hehehe

  • Buen grupo, hermosa canción y la calidad en vivo no decepciona de la versión grabada...

  • Hippy version of The Beach Boys.

  • gosh they are all so cute!!! and the music,,,awesome!!!!

  • 7 out of 5 stars

  • Thank you for posting this ... I was a senior in high school when it came out! MEMORIES!

  • Back In The 1970`s I was in a band playing the notorious north of England Pubs and Clubs that comics hated, as a band we were ok. we played the good stuff spot one and two then some rock and role in the last spot, there will be many who acknowledge this. We knew how to work the northern clubs, Dave Berry was looking for a new band and we became his new band in 1980. Our first gig was on the isle of Man with the Tremelo`s, very strange but brilliant, we were a bit new but we loved it.

  • QUITE!!!!!

  • ameeeeeei :)

  • Silence is golden, but ducktape is silver.

  • the 4Seasons did it better and first...for the life of me, i will never understand how they allowed the Tremoloes to beat them to the charts on this...in fact it was the b side of the 4seasons rag doll-the first song ever to hit #1 after being "pick hit of the week" in the prior week...also how the heck did the 4Seasons allow Odyssey to beat them to the punch with Native New Yorker?

  • great harmony love the beat. i was born in 1968 and heard that song growing up my mom had the 45.

  • There is not good music now a days. It was all used up in the 50's. 6/'s, 70's and 80's witha few exceptions of the 90's. Today, nothing. Thank God for Y/T!

  • I watched this video 84 times...!

  • This was played yesterday at Mike Smith's funeral a wonderful tribute to a talented man who put the Trems on their way to fame.

    RIP Mike you'll be missed

    xx

  • I used to go and see these in Dagenham at the "Chequers Pub" on Rainham Road in the early 60's. Never once did they play a bum note and the vocals were as good then. After seeing them loads of times I swapped my air rifle for a guitar, learnt to play, then joined bands myself. I played bass , made a couple of records, met fabulous people,travelled Germany and France and had a blast. THANK YOU TREMS. You were good then and still are now.

  • @huckydoodler58 ... Hello --Just read your post with interest. I play bass -have done for years and like you was brought up on seeing good live bands singing great harmonies. Saw the Trems a few times and was always so impressed with their vocals and overall musicianship. --Have a great Christmas & best wishes for 2012.... Ed

  • excelentes cantantes y musicos, eran considerados rebeldes y se volvieron clasicos por su calidad, buena banda

  • Awesome - really, my kids don't get it.

  • with the exception of the 50,s 70,s 80,s celtic womengroup and celine deion. No truer word,s were sopken. I grew up in the 60,s 70,s how music has fallen from the class talnet elgance of then to now. Bongle from the jungle filthy rap noise and hick music what a fall.

  • Ellos si sabian tocar musica, en los tiempos de ahora solo tocan ruidos extraños.

  • Where are beautiful harmonies like this nowadays?

  • Some people really should learn the chorus.... and remember it in some occasions

  • 14 people have no clue that silence is golden..

  • The 60's were badass.

  • When I was a kind my mom bough a tape called "jive bunny and the master mixers" which introduced me to some of the best music I have ever heard to this day (all 60's and beyond) anyhow this song was one of my favorites.

  • still think about the years i worked 4 u peace regards Steve

  • THIS IS LIKE THE FRIENDZONE ANTHEM!!!!!!!

  • Yes, the music today is trash!! I have loved this song, but could never could find it. I was just browsing and saw the name of the song. I listened to this song for hours, over and over again and never tired of hearing it. Thanks so much for putting on youtube so I can listen every day!! Super stupindous!!!!

  • i was born in dec 1958 ,and when i look back i cannot believe how good things were , maybe we thought music and everything would always be that good....

  • @kemysway I was born just a few months after you and I know what you mean. When we were young there were so many bands to pick from to listen to. I sure wish we had computers/internet in our teenage and young adult lives. If we had, maybe we would have listened to our parents' music like the young ones today listen to what we grew up with. Just a thought

  • @kemysway I was born in 56 and I play drums and I am with you to the fact that the sixties were explosive with talent, the songs were mellow and had so much rythem. the new music can't hang with the 60s.

  • @SuperCritter1 you're totally right. no rap, no crap, no shaking that ass just pure, great music. this song's been with me since my childhood. greetings...)))

  • The bridge, like angel's song, and the quaver of the guitar takes me right back.

  • Another example of how very fortunate the sixties era people really were,they had it all as far as music goes.The shit recorded these days is all garbage as far as I am concerned,maybe I was born in the wrong decade or something...I dont know.

  • @MrAndyg36 I totally agree with you I wonder what these modern day shit -artists think when they hear these type of songs.

  • @MrAndyg36 You know nothing about music !

  • @marcovangalen1 -Yeah......ok

  • @MrAndyg36 TTTTTTooottallly right never again like the 60's

  • @MrAndyg36 your totally right, i´m feeling the same

  • @MrAndyg36 Yeah I know. I'm very 1960s at heart. Modern music usually just eats away my faith in the human race...

  • @MrAndyg36 I just can say how right you are. :)

  • @MrAndyg36 I have o agree most everything that passes for music today is just noise, nothing musical about it!!

  • @MrAndyg36 You are so right. Today it's all about production, not talent. The best music produced was in the 60's and very early 70's.

  • @MrAndyg36 a natural human reaction

    4 decades from now, today's music will be regarded as the epitome of art

    and so on :D

  • @schwarzfalk not a chance, today's music will be considered the epitome of WTF were they thinking is more likely the case.

  • @denniswilsonfan whoa...wait one - so you acknowledge that music took a downward turn over the last decades, but you also say the situation will REVERSE itself in the future? what evidence do you have for that??

  • @MrAndyg36 ...hahaha no u r so rt..the 60s were the best yrs of my life...many many hits that take u back 2 those days...many artists that 'bloomed' in those yrs..it was the decade of all decades...

  • "Silence is golden and never betrays"

  • Wow what a good looking band :) I remember their songs but didn't really know who sang them.

  • É o canto dos anjos!!!

  • Silence is golden... but sometimes its realy Golden!!

  • QUE BIEN CANTABAN ESTOS CABRONES

  • Wow i knew chippy i was a school with his sister, i really love this song.

  • The greatest harmony I've ever heard!

  • É ouro! É de chorar de tão linda!!!!!!!

  • love this tune, cant believe only 600,000 hits

  • Probably my favorite song of all time.

  • nice song :}

  • On some of the cds, the music might sound different because the songs are remastered I guess for better quality.

  • i first heard this 1990 . i love retro music from the 1960s but not motown. what year was this out?

  • What a wonderful song.

  • Clearly their best song but I like a lot of the other songs, I wish they would come to Pittsburgh,Pa. but it probably won't ever happen.

  • @Bellevueman1

    i thought these were going to be blond guys with short mid 1960s hairstyles and at least one woman in this band,. where were they from?

  • @The096757 England .

  • I have always loved this song. I was 13 and it was the summer of love. Many thanks to those who posted this.

  • Love this.

  • I love this.xx

  • Cuando tenìa 12 años escuchaba èsta mùsica, formò parte de mi adolescencia y me recuerda èsa època de mi vida, ademàs siempre me encantò èsta canciòn !

  • Man, do they still make microphones like that? They're killer!!!

  • WOW something other than techno lol :) I miss stuff like this. There actually IS still real music in the world

  • @docchocobo By the way... Techno sux

  • this is ( I think ) about the best organized, articulated  piece of music I think Ive ever heard. And of course there is .... listen .....

  • FOUR SEASONS B-SIDE

  • Read about using siRNA to silence bean golden mosaic virus in transgenic beans in Brazil, and thought of this. As one does...B-)

  • Así es señor sonnydaytona, o por lo menos para nuestra generación me parece que no vuelven.... pero quedan estos testimonios, que nos vuelven atrás por unos momentos mágicos...

  • B-side of Rag Doll by Frankie Valli

  • 49atir

    grossartig!

  • Yes, sonnydaytona, you're right we missed those happy days in our life, that will never never come back!

  • Silence is golden, well shut up then

  • In August of '68, it was the last 20 days before my Senior year started. I had nothing but Leslie on my mind, because I had just hurt her so badly in July. I told her to "go to hell." I was jealous of her wonderful personality which I wrongly perceived as flirting. Other guys were attracted to her naturally beautiful personality. I was a self-absorbed, jealous and self conscious jerk. There is not a day that goes by after all these years that I don't regret the way I treated that angel.

  • amazing

  • those were the days!

  • Yes indeed, real singing and harmonies! Yes we were spoiled with all this great talent!

  • man what a song, grew up with this music wish i was back in those years, those were the years of good music not like nowadays, keep the good music alive................

  • thank you memorable 

  • HI, EXCELLENT! THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES AND THE FUN,TOM D. BRICK,NJ. {AT THE SHORE}.

  • fab could go to sleep dreaming listening to this its beautiful. x

  • It's my understanding that this song was originally penned by members of the Four Seasons. They recorded it, but it didn't get the recognition and airtime of this cover by the Tremoloes. Frankly, I prefer the Tremoloes rendition, which may be because this is what I grew up with in high school. The Tremoloes are a great musical group and will always be a popular addition to my 60s music library.

  • excelent video, tks a lot nyrainbow4

  • I'm glad to hear this song after so lo time!

  • Thanks johnmc58 for letting me know their names. I've been looking for some pic's of them (present) but can't find any. Have any sugestions?

  • @jandogg55

    Hey... you're welcome! Chip Hawkes is still performing, and Dave Munden and Rick Westwood are still about. Sadly, Alan Blakely passed away a few years ago. NO-ONE sound s as good as Rick on the falsetto!

    They are just a superbly talented group... end of story!

  • @johnmc58 Your rite about that. Just superbly talented. Gosh is was so great to grow up with the music of the 60's. I guess were dating ourself's now, but who cares. The music is the BEST EVER!!!!!!

  • @johnmc58 heay john- can't seem to find any pic's (present) of the guys any sugestions?

    Thanks

  • great piece of art... full of respect for music & sung with whole hearts, hats off !!!

  • This was our song!

  • @selket51 whose? :-)

  • Can anyone tell me the names of ALL of the guy's in this video! I know their were some changes threw the years, but these four worked together & sang together so GREAT.

  • @jandogg55 Rick Westwood on lead guitar and falsetto, Chip Hawkes on bass, Alan Blakely rhythm guitar, Dave Munden on drums.

  • @johnmc58 Thanks for the lineup info - I can't brag enough on their voices!!

  • One of the 60's greatest - thanks for uploading.

    Helps me keep the dream alive. Am 62 & still love it!

  • Silence may be golden

    but duct tape is silver :)

  • They are clearly lipsynching in this video, that's the studio version playing. But it's still a great song and much better than anything I hear today. I'm 26 but I've listened to this type of music all my life, never could get into modern music much.

  • @AbbeyRoad52 It's not the studio version I have, did they re-record it? These guys were phenomenal when it came to recreating this song live. Although it does look like they are lip synching (at least the falsetto lead does)

  • @sandradaga I suppose it could be an older recording of a live version from years earlier too. All I know for sure is that they aren't singing this one live.

  • @AbbeyRoad52 I thought they were lipsyncing at first---- thus the wide pan shots

    but then I heard differences from the original on some vocals and a few other things--though slight-- and saw the guys that were singing their parts I think that was live

  • Grew up with this - superb! Thanks for the memories.... :-)

  • Apparently the drummer is my second cousin. Glad I have family that played a part in the awesomeness of the sixties!

  • Qualitymusic :)

  • id like this song

  • Wonderful band, so much great music.

  • Tremeloes one of my fav. They played in our City with lots of English groups ,I was raised with the Best Music from the very start.Thanks for posting All of (Them) ...

  • Lindo! Rejuvenescedor!!!!!!! 

  • knew the trems personally and a great bunch of guys.... as wicked as they come ... Dave Munden has a million dollar laugh....

  • Hey if the Four Seasons didn't have enough faith in this song to make it an A-side then it was up to the Trems to prove'm wrong!

  • @therealjoebloggs Yeah - this harmony blew me away!! Heard it long after the version by Franki Valli - like both but love this version's music more.

    

  • Melody and harmony - what happened that we don't get these simple things any more?

  • Im really enjoy this oldis!

    Thanks to Tukspeacepipe for sending this to me :)

  • "O my God!" Silence is golden! Dad and Mom parked our Trailer per the usual that late July '68 Frdiay. Dad like to get away every weekend after a stressful week at the GM P{lant;. We used the same NW Ohio campground for our weekend escape. The CKLW station was playing "Silence is Golden," as we backed into our weekend space; Towards the end of the song, I got out of our Bonneville, and there was this beautiful 12 year old named Lisa staring at us in the lot next door.

  • @jeff62rey nice memories my freind.

  • This video sounds better than than the one on their greatest hits CD.

  • Hogy milyen jokat nem tudsz elfejtenni!

  • WOW! Tiempo sin escuchar esta hermosa canción tremenda letra BRAVO! Excelente.desde BARQUISIMETO VENEZUELA.

  • When you take a listen to a song like this you see again and again how nowadays music is a huge pile of crap.... those good old times will never return unfortunately...

  • @sonnydaytona That is what every generation says! Haha. Anyway, I do like this song.

  • @sonnydaytona well said.

  • @sonnydaytona You're right...but as long as we have our memories and YOUTUBE......those good times aren't completely gone.

  • @JFinSD2 agree with you 100 %, but who knows? maybe they will return? :)

  • @sonnydaytona The music remains forever, it is only the good times that keep it here. Like the sounds of the serf, so too will this music be cherished and kept alive by all who listen,forever and ever.

  • @sonnydaytona Sorry to have to agree with you. Music today is dead.

  • @sonnydaytona

    there is lot of great music today, you jsut have to skip TV stars.

  • @sonnydaytona i agree so much.....x

  • WOW! putting faces to a great song!!!!!!! thank you for posting it!! First i saw the group!

  • Back in the day when this song was a hit, I ran to the local supermarket and bought the 45... still love this song and it gets better with age. Thanks for the posting! "D"

  • All of you folks from the 60's and 70's were so fortunate! I dont hate my generations music,but it couldn't hold a candle to your music! The songs of the 50's 60's and 70's were written by the artist's who performed them,and now musicians have their songs written for them! I grew up listening to this music and I love it all!

  • @MrAndyg36 Hey mate, thanks for your good feelings for the good old days, but I have to tell you that The Tremeloes never released a self-penned song from their first release in 1962 until 1968, "My Little Lady", the 21st single they cut, which I haven't heard by the way, and there are people around today who write their own stuff; Eddie Vedder and Ben Harper are just two examples. Also have a listen to Calexico and Iron & Wine. They might not be your cup of tea but are good original artists.

  • @wtw88 Yup! And most artists f that era, singers, i mean, sang whatever their managers told them to. And when a song was succesful, everyone in the same recording company did it as well!

  • @MrAndyg36 Oh, I just looked up "My LIttle Lady". I had heard it. It's just eminently forgettable. I did like the Tremeloes though. Cheers.

  • I love this song so much. Great sound, great vocal harmonies!!!!

  • One of the best songs ever! Made popular by the greatest generation!

  • i luv it, brings back good 'ol memories

  • This song remember me that some times, silent is really golden

    Are they still alive?
