The Ivy League - Funny How Love Can Be (NME)

[foreveroldies246]

love it 60s rule

[jollyjohnbull]

Great to hear this again, brought back many memories. Thanks for posting.

[SINGSTRESS100]

Even on film I can tell that Perry had a kind and gentle charisma and this sweet harmony reflected that well

[affeltrangermark]

Is that Clem Cattini on drums?

[Littlealan1959]

does any1 know who were the group behind the song . "lets go to San Fransisco" ? The  Flowerpot men

[starstruckone]

@Littlealan1959 the ivy league were the flower pot men and then first class in the eighties with beach baby

[dod8012]

I've just realised. Us who were there in the '60s listening to the Top Twenty every Sunday afternoon can, in our retirement re-live those memories. Our parents can't because films and videos weren't often made of their favourite artists. Aren't we lucky we have Youtube?

[angelf1re]

Jaysus, we did not realise what we had in the 60's. The best music EVER.

[jonkheere1]

One of the most under rated songs of the 60's.

[rusromans1]

I WANNA GO BACK TO THE 60S, TIME OF MY LIFE THEN.

[rcentinella]

Extraordinary!

[vendicatoresolitari0]

Riproposto e tradotto dall'Equipe 84 col titolo "Spiegami come mai".

"Ma perché ti comporti così, spiegami come mai ..." Anche da Fausto Leali : "Se qualcuno cercasse di te". Listen to italian translation, it's ... funny ( ...how love can be)!

[1LoveM1Music]

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!

[tobytwirl04]

Well dubbed lemurjim! Couldn't have done better meself!

[valtojos]

Nice to see Sir Jim introducing them. RIP

[CrankCase08]

No Autotune in those days.

[MrBirchmoor33]

They dont make em like this anymore.Sheer class

[kevgish]

is the tall guy Perry Ford?

[kevgish]

is the tall guy Perry Ford?

[annie482000]

Is that Clem Cattini on drums?

[Bliar1]

Ah! - just found the original of this clip and now see what made you want to dub it.

The Band fluffs the intro and the poor guys are left singing without backing for the first few bars. This song deserves better and thanks to your overdub, it has got it.

Thank you again...

[Bliar1]

Congratulations to Poster - one of my all time favourites.

10/10 for the overdub - excellent job.

Was the original audio not recorded?

[MultiCull]

Thanks so much. I wept buckets to this in my younger days! "I'm in love and it just isn't fair!"

[stoyanep]

Thanks, beauful, unforgettable music

[1007walker]

Wonderful...I got goose pimples...

[Vinylbloos]

Superb...saw a version of this group back in the late 70's at Pontins in Wales - they were awesome live...

[mistofoles]

Now then, now then, it's Uncle Jimmy!

[andypandywright]

a great song - and what about the tall guy, he looks like the suspicious castle owner in a hammer house of horror film - then the falling over sunglasses guy!

[845aleirbag]

singing live in those days....wow, that was SINGING!!!! Most of the "artests" would not be them without studio stuff

thank god for these videos!!!

[gasmeter1947]

who let the jesus freak comment, what an eejit

[MissymissyJo]

This is my favourite Ivy League song. Remember it well. Such lovely songs in those days!!

[306bad]

I have just missed the Ivy league and the fortunes in Rotherham, I am sure the audience had a great time. The Ivy League did the working mens clubs many years ago with their brilliant comedy, sketches and they were drop dead amaising when it came to playing there songs. Brilliant

[bass109]

repent to Jesus christ today! find salvation today. Hope in Jesus today!

[ykrgfk]

@bass109 Sod off

[GaryKrewer]

The Ivy League was great. These guys had great harmony. They would back up many British groups in the 60s. Other great songs done b y the Ivy League were Tossing and Turning( not the same version as the one made popular by Bobby Lewis) and That's Why I'm Crying. Great, great harmony. Thanks for the video. 

[petekernow1]

A quality 60s band!

[ppaulmorris]

Brilliant

[auldericoz]

Bellissima e dolce! quanta nostalgia di quei meravigliosi anni.

[LightSnowOvernight]

werird to see 3 singers w/o instruments - for the British Invasion era

GREAT SONG!!!!

[sxitezza]

A classic and very well done , you have done a fantastic job, The Ivy League boys would be proud of the fine job you have made of Funny How Love Can Be...

Terry

[Telstar10000]

That's Clem Cattini on drums, brilliant drummer. Came to the Ivy League from the Tornados, of 'Telstar' fame.

[Tzarchasm09]

@Telstar10000 You came to this from the Clem connection - a good place to start. I remember them first as Billy Fury's backers. I came to it direct from the Carter-Lewis connection, starting with Carter Lewis & the Southerners. Also from the connection with The Who - they sang backup on "Can't Explain". Either way they were very special. And this is a very clever dub.

[brummiegrl]

just saw Ivy League at Austin club Birmingham. Still going and just as good.

[avhsvh]

Fantastic compilation and a very warm rememberance to my late brother. You,ve done me a great pleasure.

[arthur777ist]

Bought this on a 45 in 1965, IDIOTS it is JIMMY SAVILLE

[williamsm992]

this is the 60's for me great group great sound i was there and them that say if you remember the 60's you were'nt really there are talking through their arses

[ppaulmorris]

Bought it ..loved it

[williamsm992]

A CLASSIC

[hotwells45]

bet the beach boys had got this one .brilliant

[suredunno]

Fantastic song. Is the presenter Marty Feldman?

[brakeman60]

@suredunno I think it is Jimmy Saville

[reddwarfer2]

@suredunno It is definately Jimmy Saville of 'Jim'll Fix It' fame in the 1990's

[williamsm992]

Just BRILL

[mawzon59]

One of the great sixties songs I never tire of hearing

[ktpinnacle]

The Iveys have no musical connection to Ivy League - other than both produced wonderful music. True Averil's got it right.

Love the Timpani.

[pannoni1]

British songs that were Top 10 hits that never made the charts in the US are always good singles to collect; I just got the copy on the Cameo label.

[spider15able]

brilliant lost 45s but never more

[TrueAveril]

Hi Lemurjim and Ivy league Fans.

Thanks so much for this dub, what sweet harmonies.

Guys, pretty certain Ivy League later became The Flowerpot Men: let's Go To San Francisco. Think one of the Flowerpot Men was Tony Burrows: Later Edison Lighthouse: Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes.

Enjoy this fabulous, ageless music. Cheers,

True Averil

[neil03152]

thank you for a good effort. well done. great memories.

neil

[puseye]

The went on to form, Badfinger

[dicky1953]

@puseye No Way,that is not true.

The Iveys went on to be Badfinger

[puseye]

@dicky1953

Think again.

"Essentially the forerunners to Badfinger, the Iveys landed on the Beatles' Apple label in mid-1968 after the latter group's personal assistant, Mal Evans, encouraged them to submit tapes to Paul McCartney. Their bright, melodic, and harmony-filled pop/rock sound immediately drew comparisons to the Beatles and to the work of McCartney in particular. "

All Music Guide.

[fntime]

The blond chinaman, speaks pretty good english,

he must have come from Wales.

[SuperKillbob]

remember this when i was a kid. bring back the 60s

[coggers62]

Great song, great group...Carter & Lewis wrote several hits recorded by others. Does anyone know who's singing falsetto etc. Is guy on left the lowest voice? Carter in middle-is he falstto?

Used to have vinyl EPs but lost somewhere in my loft.

Thanks for the great work on dubbing.

[Dennysmock]

This is shit hot mate......Remember this when it first came out. Great job with the dub.

[gezzluvaduck]

mate you've done a bloody fantastic job at dubbing this great sound.....well done

[gezzluvaduck]

aaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww the sixties...gezzzz dont I wish I was back there...... with music like this it should never have gone away..... thank lemurjim for postin this and keepin old buggars like me in heaven

[lindylou381]

WOT A HOOT

[09SRILANKA]

I've got an outfit like Jimmy Savilles, I go to our local sub human club in it on Fridays, meant to say suburban club. Nice! Now then now then guys and gals. I look very special wearing it.

[09SRILANKA]

Good old sixties, no smakheads roaming the streets, asbo culture, 24/7 pubs, the UK was strong and not a broken culture!

[customizersp]

The good old sixties, now we cannot find music of this quality !

[Twinkle3067]

@customizersp ...................we can forever keep searching..... .but rightly as youput it ......we will never find music like the gr8 60's quality

[customizersp]

This song is great, can´t stop listening at it once and once again!

[09SRILANKA]

This is real music, absolutely fantastic, real singers and musicians. Amazing reminds me of when i was a child. Amazing, beautiful addictive listenning!

[631027151719]

Good work! What we missed though is when the drummer is misleading the band in the beginning of the song. They have to restart it.

This is the real group with John Carter in the middle. He's still playing now and then.

You know that he's the one who sings Winchester Cathedral, Peek -a boo and Let's go to San Fransisco on record.

[HermanHanauer]

This is such a beautiful song as many of their / your songs are,,,in the sixties ...several groups in our birthcity got inspired by The Ivy League

[ppaulmorris]

Wonderful

[juliehermiz]

Brought tears to my eyes, thanks for the upload! 10/10

[MrJommycross]

Un piccolo capolavoro, e c'è anche una versione italiana di Fausto Leali..

[lindylou381]

The worst thing is if ya got a crush on them now u would be 30yrs to late.

[lindylou381]

funny how songs grabb ya like this one aye

[sewerbyarnold]

thats a great piece of editing well done and thanks for the memories!

[Ooievaar62]

Great job, you did that very well. Thanks man!

[neil4152]

Good work, I saw this live, which was shakey to start with but still very good tho

[guildingii1]

I was born in 1951 and this was mine first LP, my mother bought it for mine 14e birhtday . Thanks for posting from me in Amsterdam.

[koolkatie40]

just love this song

[Sarahfreckle]

Simply marvellous song. Wonderful harmonies. Listen to the rest of their songs - there are lots of gems.

[Alfiecaz]

......Blood hell, blown straight back to the 60's hearin' this.....brilliant !!!!

[novapup2001]

This wonderful introspective song fits at the cross-hairs of 60s pop rock. Group vocal harmonies, jangle guitars, love songs, cool fashions, etc

[jennyschofield]

Very good.

Brings back memories.

[PhalainaBelgium]

Hi quality performance !  Phalaïna

[DOKK212]

If you dubbed this you did a fantastic job...this was the first record I ever bought..thanx for the memories..Dokk

[merger4]

Just the best, thanks Lemurjim.

[angelofbebop]

5 stars/favs! I'm so loving this English pop trio and their harmonies on this one! Thanks to hrpman for the share and to lemurjim for posting this gem!

[Kittielips]

Lovely harmonies.

Thank you to hrpman for the 'share.'

5*****.

Jennie.

[salstream]

last saw them at wingfield working mens club rotherham in 1985.. brilliant.

[mayo4904]

love this tune

[deltorso]

wonderful !!.

[geoffdoor]

this is fantastic but check out organ rally 09 with the brighouse and rastrick band ...funny how dude s ...

[devilwoman52]

This song just sticks in my head!  I love the harmonies -- just beautiful!!

[100hm43700]

I agree with you. I love the harmonies of their voices in this version as well. There are other versions of this song they sing, but the harmonizing does not sound as well like this one. It does look like they are lip syc on the stage.

[landl47]

Always liked this song. Carter-Lewis also wrote 'That's What I Want' by The Marauders, which is here on youtube. Check it out, it's another great song.

[Jake47677]

Groovy Pop Groovy! They got a great sound! I still think I like Chad and Jeremy's version a little better, no offense to them since they were the ones who wrote this sweet song. I like it when their voices first come in on the song. Powerful! Thanks for posting!

[bodge681]

Done a great job mate...saw them at yarmouth in 2002...they still got it

[izzzzythedog]

my memories are of the ivy`s playing in our local club again this year , the proformence is excellence and i feel privilaged to be able to watch the lads belt hits from the 60`s onwards out ,

[maltblossom]

Surely not the originals............

[tonypicc47]

You're right, this is dubbed. The actual performance on the film was pretty sucky.

[CrankCase08]

NOT a live performance.

[miketheshanmanmangan]

Danny Hutton,Danny Hutton,Danny hutton before three dog night did a much faster great version of this...

[nethy02]

seen thee in Alinsons Liverpool in the 80`s really brilliant and very funny, happy days

[Glorify27]

Lovely harmonies!!! and great song.

[Tzarchasm09]

Their harmonies were spot on. Listen to "Can't Explain" by The Who & guess who provided the backing vocals...

[jennyschofield]

OK, that's fine. They are'nt very relevant to me, as I say, I just love listening to the song, and it is a great song......

[maltblossom]

This was an absoloutley brilliant 60's group...I saw them live in Bradford UK with 3 original members back in 1972....Great harmony and a great backing group. 2 weeks later 2 members were to go to London to record "Lets go to San Francisco" and joined the "Flower Pot men". I met and talked to John Ford at their Bradford Gig.....Fantastic ...

[jennyschofield]

Yes, those would be the memories best left forgotten. I just love the song, and wondered if the words were relevant to you. I'll stop being nosey now....and listen to the song again, lol.

[jennyschofield]

I was asking YOU the same question.....

[jennyschofield]

?????

[nibs2lou]

This fab English pop song was written by the two guys on the right, John Carter and Ken Lewis (not sure which is which). The IL grew out of Carter-Lewis & The Southerners who featured a young Jimmy Page on lead guitar. All three guys were session singers and sang on The Who's Can't Explain. Carter-Lewis's other songs included Little Bit Of Soul for The Music Explosion; Let's Go To San Francisco by The Flowerpot Men; and their finest hour was Herman's Hermits' US No.1 Can't You Hear My Heartbeat.

[august251976]

britlliant, and jimmy S what were you thinking.

[InnocentWar1]

This song got a stuck on me once upon a time. It's heavy although it's slow.

[kwesi01]

One of my earliest memories (after Torchy the Battery Boy, Supercar, etc.!). Thanks very much for posting this. They really don't make 'em like they used to, so THANK GOD FOR YOUTUBE (I'll go back to talking now...)!!!

[Golfa19]

Great song, brings back loads of great memories

[Therapist1972]

ah, my beating heart!!! 5 stars!!!

[setenteromusic]

What a good song!

Classic 60's

[stafylides]

[weaselpigly]

[silvermoonstini]

[harrystirples]

[regentv980]

[imacone]

[HORACECOPE2]

[Harrycuypers]

Timeless..................

[SLUMBERS2]

[traceymod]

[fanakopan]

i love the ivy league. weve seen them at butlins many times, i met them too. we had this song played at our wedding two years ago. still my favourite song. thank you. xx

[kevinanthonyprice]

The Ivy League that are still going now have got nothing to do with these guys.

[bbudacious]

It is funny, how love can be

[L3S3R4]

I knew that song when I was very small.

[KeefieUK]

Nice song... good harmonies... smooth.
