gary lewis and the playboys count me in 0001

an excellent record by gary lewis and the playboys produced by snuff garrett and arranged by leon russell

i've always loved the piano figure that opens the song, as well as the one heard during the break and at the fade- classy but rockin' at the same time. the chiming percussion is an excellent production choice.

GREAT sound quality here! Excellent recording of this very nice hit by GL&PB. Thanks for uploading it with such clear, HQ audio. Nice job Vox.

@Querencias7 You're welcome! Wish I could take all the credit, but I think I was just extremely fortunate to have gotten a computer that has a great cd player with all the right compression settings, lol!

I think the piano intro was done on a Chordavox,and electric accordian.

@brnnnn1 Hey, thanks for posting that info here- I always thought that maybe there was something else doubling the piano part to create that unique opening.

@DerGlaetze I'm afraid you're right about that. We can get moments of fun and positivity, but that whole vibe of fun and great-prospects-over-the-horiz­on that seems to have been a big part of of the 60's seems to have fizzled out starting in the late 70's or so. Everyone seems so jaded and just a bit to "hip" to everything now. It's nice that at least the music has lasted all these years- that says a lot.

@tomovox

Exactly. Whenever I hear Gary Lewis and The Playboys I instantly get thoughts of better times of optimism and positivity. Where has it all gone in this great nation. I'm afraid it's irretrievable.

@wpollock1 Gary Lewis and The Playboys is one of those bands you can listen to and just forget whatever is going on in the news or whatever problems you may be facing- just a fun band to kick back with! I can hear why you'd wear out two of those albums!

[wpollock1]

Great sound on this. Well done. One of my favorite bands of the 60's - I wore out two Golden Greats albums.......

@Ayundi You just erased all traces of a bad weekend! Wow! I really appreciate your wonderful compliment and I'm so happy you like the video! I've stopped trying to figure out how some videos get so many views while others (like practically all of mine- lol!) remain in the bargain basement section, ha ha! Still, when someone like you says they like the music I love and they like the video I've done, well, that's worth more than a kazillion viewers! So thanks again, my friend!

[Ayundi]

I love the music videos with collages! You did a nice job; this should definitely have more views than it does!
