@mitchflorida Speaking of the Stones, where did they play their very first gig in the U.S.? I've asked this question on a Stones video and got one reply. The guess was Lynn, Mass. I told that person, "Wrong coast. Try again." Maybe someone who appreciates great music like this, by the Newbeats, will be able to answer the question correctly.
@mitchflorida This rendition of "Steal" grew on me in recent years and I always enjoy listening to it. For some reason the Newbeats' sound always refreshes and invigorates me. There's nothing false about Larry's Falsetto. Thanks for your comment, Mitch!
@njva17420 Perhaps in the shower but the All Music Guide doesn't list any recorded version by Lou. I agree that his voice would have been perfect for the song. Thanks for your comment, my friend!
I agree. Trying to put this song on the charts to compete against Iron Butterfly, Steppenwolf and the like doesn't seem like a good plan. Thanks for your comment!
Regardless of whether this song was done by Dick & Dee Dee or the Newbeats, I find it really shrill and hard to take.

I always loved this by Dick and Dee Dee, but the Newbeats version is better. Larry Henley is incredible!

The Newbeats opened for the Rolling Stones on their 1965 American and 1966 European tours.

The drummer on this cut is really good . . keeps the groove going. The lead guitarist is fun too.

Did Lou Christie ever cover this song?

The sound quality is great! Too bad this song didn't chart.
The Newbeats should have released this tune in 1965-66, the height of their popularity.
