I remember listening to this song in the late sixties. I was a beginning guitarist and didn;t even know where on the neck to start lol ! .Anyway things change. Great song !!!!!!!!! and of course canadian and coming from the jewel city!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Incredibly this was covered by a very young band in Chile in 1968...Los Sicodelicos, whose album is nothing special...and 'Gaslight' is definitely one of the best tracks on it
The UB is/was really great. This is the first time I listen to them but not the last. Thank you Youtube!!! There is an enormous musical treasure to discover. Listen for example to an unknown band called THE ZETTLERS and the tunes "Skinnie Minnie" and "Beautiful Delilah". I'm totally up in the sky!!!!!
Rock 107.1 in Belleville plays this song all the time and it is a fantastic song! Took me a while to figure the lyrics out and get Google working for me. I think it's great that they play a classic CANADIAN song like this. I'll be looking for a CD of the band to add to my collection. If anyone has a reccomendation I'd love to hear it. Again - great song!!
Shit man i first heard this song when i was ten they were playing it on q107 nearly a decade back and never could find this song even though the name of it was pretty obvious. I could never find the name of hte band who played this until they played this song again a few days ago. Amazing song great voice man
I happened to work at The Brant Inn at the time and saw The Mandala , The Ugly Ducklings, and The Paupers in succession . They were all Great! But , yeah , upon reflection , the Paupers were unique for sure!
Today I found out that the guitar I played on might have belonged to Roger Mayne. It's an accoustic, a Kent guitar I believe? I have it from a friend of mine/my mom, who used to date Roger before he passed away. Just thought I'd put that out there, because I find it pretty cool that I might own the guitar once owned by a member of such an amazing band.
Every Time I Hear It I LOVE IT More and More !!!!!!!!!!!!!Saw them do it live at the Brant Inn in Burlington, Ontario , and it was GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!I can't believe that they didn't have more hits .
Nothing like good old fashion 60s Canadian rock Definitely remember this song.
What comes to mind is Battle of the Bands concerts in Ottawa mid to late 60s. There'd be bands like Ugly Ducklings; Paupers; Mandala; Luke & The Apostles; Yeomen; Squires; Stitch in Tyme; Lords Of London; Haunted; Rabble; Sinners; etc
One band wore white suits with big suit jackets buttons BUT everyone had a different color; one had all bright red buttons; one had bright blue; bright green; orange ...What an effect.

@johnpark22 - If I'm correct, CFZM 740 has an oldies program on Saturday nights where it's possible to hear this song. I have to agree, it was a damned shame that CHUM couldn't last (as an oldies station, anyway). On the bright side (I hope), doesn't CKOC's signal get into Toronto, are they still oldies and if so, wouldn't they be willing to play this song?
@appreciateupthemusic Last year I bought the Nucleus album on red vinyl, had to get it shipped from California. I also managed to get it signed by Greg Fitzpatrick who's still kicking around the music scene in Newfoundland, Can.
Hey, Wow! I remember doing the dishes and listening to this song on CHUM AM (FM still to come). It was such a powerful, rockin' song. Let's spread the word about this great Canadian band
In retrospect I can't believe how many good bands played at my high school in the seventies. The Ugly Ducklings, The Paupers, McKenna Mendelson Mainline and Lighthouse. It was a magical time. I sort of remember a lot of it!!!
I went 2 New Toronto Secondary School, as well as all the above bands, we also had: Luke & the Apostles, Edward Bear, Chilliwack, Lighthouse played a few times, Skip & Ralph lived in the area & knew all the local musicians. My fav was always Mainline, we went everywhere 2 see them & David Wilcox & Max Webster
Saw The Ugly Ducklings open up for The Rolling Stones @ Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto in 1966 along with another great Canuck group from that era, Mandella. And let's not forget The McCoys. But the Ducks were my favourite. These guys should have become huge internationally. Thanks for posting this Nothin66.
I recall earlier this decade, what was then CHWO (now CFZM) at 740 kHz would play this song on their Friday or Saturday night oldies shows. I have a friend who worked as a DJ at a few Canadian radio stations back in the day. Being that I was almost certain that I wouldn't find this record anywhere here in the 'States, I asked him if he had it (he did) and asked if he'd make a recording for me. So the 'Ducks' do have at least two fans south of the Mason-Dixon.
Yeah, Buffalo49! We were loud all-right! Mike McKenna used to play his '59 Les Paul Sunburst through TWO Fender Twins hooked-up in Series! 200 Watts of
pure RMS Power! For-the-day it was as
good as it gets. I wouldn't want to play that loud today, but for the time it was the thing-to-do!
Hey Floormanron! I drive by Cedarbrae every now & then & I remember. But it was a different time. Skip Prokop was a friend & I always respected his musical tastes. I gotta say tho' that The Paupers were special. Totally unique & unlike any band before or since!
There were so many great bands in T.O. at this time it amazes me how many of them I saw playing at high schools. The tradition of Canadian rock music is long and deep and the Ugly Ducklings were a great part of it.
The Ugly Ducklings were Canadas first while blues band, first punk band and first metal band all rolled into one. With a decent manager and record company support they would of given Zeppelin a run for the money and for sure blown away The Stones. ( as they did at MLG back in 65 or 66 )
I always thought Mike Myers could have resurrected this song for Austin Powers. Incense and Peppermints was too cliche. Gaslight's reletive obscurity would have provided an intrigue factor.
Hi Greg. - No Mike was not on the recording. He joined the band in Sept.'67 just as "Gaslight" got
into the top ten. Believe it or not, the guitar was played by Hugh McCracken who played on "RAM" with Paul McCartney and is disputed to have played on "Brown Eyed Girl" with VAN the Man!
The "DUCKS" did it first. It was writen by a New York cab driver named Carl Spencer. He taught me the song right in the recording studio. There are other tunes with Gaslight in the title, but if anyone ever did this particular "Gaslight", it was after The "DUCKS"!
There were half a dozen great bands in T.O. around this time and a lot of them played at our high schools. The Ugly Ducklings were one of the best. I hope all the members are doing well. Great memories.
I lived with the Ducks at Charlie Browns on Cumberland. in the original village. Just saw in a video that Roger Maine passed on in "04. Dave sang like Jagger Glen looked like Brian Jones. Great memories
talk about a time warp.. just moved back 41 years to a backyard in scarborough listening to john and daves band, i think they called themselves the strolling bones which obviously had to change, hone their craft in the basement across the alley..stoned daze indeed.
Oh man, I spent all day searching for this song online under the mistaken title "Black light" becasue I haven't heard this song since I was a kid, listening to oldies every night. For some reason I thought this was a Hermans Hermits song.
Thanks for uploading one of my favourite songs growing up.
Thanks so much for posting this song. It was my favorite when I was in high school in Scarborough. I would have given anything to have seen the Ugly Ducklings live, but I was only 14 when they broke up, and I don't think they ever played at my school (RH King). Later I saw McKenna-Mendelson Mainline and Luke and the Apostles many times. Far Out!
It was recorded in NYC in May of 67. That was the drummer for the Tonight Show Band, NYC circa 67. I was not introduced so I never knew his name. You could do the research.
I was amazed to see that the Ducks are still around. I have 2 l.p.'s, "Somewhere Outside" & "Off the Wall" and 2 singles (45s), "Gaslight/Rimb Nugget" & "Nothin'/I Can Tell". I've nearly worn out Rimb Nugget. Big harp fan! Thanks, Dave Bingham for posting this stuff!
Oh yes, I remember these guys well; I had always been more of a garage/underground music fan, and it did not get any better than our Ducklings; I still do not think that it has, even today!
folks don`t realize what a tremendous r`n`b sound came out of toronto in the 60`s..you had shawn and jay jackson and the majestics,the five rogues,yeomen,jackie shane,and of course the one and frikkin` only UGLY DUCKLINGS....!
