LEN BARRY - 1-2-3 - 1966

Always loved this song. Sounds so much like a Motown tune.
The chorus, the tamborine, the istrumentation......especially  the Baritone Sax solo. All, vintage Motown.

In the teen mags in 1966 Len said he wouldn't perform with The McCoys, Beatles and Herman's Hermits because they appealed to the lowest common denominator! after that he released 4-5-6 ( no joke0 and little was heard from him after that....

@keithallison1 Meaning each band had 4 members?
Either way, what a wasted opportunity, seems like this guy can really get down. You know there is a salsa version of this song ( I use to be a musician and played in a salsa band). Both Barry's and the salsa version have one hell of a swing / flavor !

Cute dimples!

This gentleman looks and sounds like the lead singer for the Dovells when they sang "The Bristol Stomp" in 1962.

@snowcat0045 it is him.....

thats because Len Barry was the lead singer of the Dovells.

You're right because it is him.....good looking out!!!

This is from a bygone era, one I am glad to have lived thru. Thank god that videos such as these have survived and someone had the foresight to save.
