    大瀧氏の大ヒット「君は天然色」の元歌と思われますが、如何です­か?。初めて「君は・・」を聞いて思わず「さすが大瀧氏!! とんでもない所からパクッてきたな。」と思いました。このゲーリ­ールイスも当時の西海岸のティンパン・アレー系のリオン・ラッセ­ルとかデビット・ゲイツがバックに居るんですから鉄壁のサポート­ですよね。この曲自体は東芝音楽工業提供のラジオ番組(当然ヒッ­トチャート形式の30分番組で前田武彦氏のDJだった)ではチャ­ートインしましたが、ほかの局の番組ではほとんど取り上げられな­かったと思います。やはり日本でも「恋のダイアモンドリング」が­一番のヒットだったと記憶しております。(他にも「グリーン・グ­ラス」とか「カウント ミー イン(?)」とか良い曲が沢山あるんですが、ちょうどGSブーム­に被ってしまい、こちらは残念な結果で終わってしまった様です。­) ちなみにスナッフ・ギャレット氏の「リバティレーベル」のベスト­盤をアナログ及びCDで持っています。

  • UNIT4PLUS1さん、こんばんわ。 コメントをありがとうございます! 先ほどYoutubeで「君は天然色」を探して聴いてまいりまし­た。 なるほど似ていますね。 アレンジはウォールオブサウンドを意識しているのでしょうか。 この時期のプレイボーイズの(ひいてはスナッフギャレットの) 音作りは大瀧詠一だけに留まらず、70年代以降における 日本の職業作曲家やアレンジャー達にも多大な影響を 与えていると思います。 なお「恋のダイアモンドリング」ですが、アップロードは 成功したものの何故か全世界ブロックされてしまったので 已む無く削除しました。

  • This is such a cute cute song,very pleasant melody and makes you want to sing along while it is playing. I love this song.....

  • Back in the day of cool high school bus drivers.... Or well being in high school and going to a small school... The students on my bus got into a whole bunch of trouble and we had to sit in assigned seats for a week My bus driver gave us pieces of paper with the lyrics printed on them and made us sing this song... Not only is this how I felt for a really long time but this used to be my favorite song when I was in 8th/9th grade... :D

  • i luv this

  • I remember when this song was used on The Simpsons.... Marge called Krusty the Klown's toy company telephone number and this song came on when they told her to hold!

  • MandalaDesert,

    You should not comment on not liking this song on here.

    It is the same as an insult to me.

    I deleted your comment and also blocked your account.

  • got my first reel to reel recorder in '65 and remember recording this as well as well respected man by the kinks - good times back in the mid 60's.....

  • If only we could reverse time back to when music was simple and real. I know our parents did not approve of this music but people didn't kill because of the lyrics of the songs or whateve they call rap

  • seriously one of the most underrated bands in history... these guys flat-out kicked ass!

  • This is one of the all time greatest hits. I loved to dance to this song when i was younger and i sure miss dancing today as there are not to many places here

    that play these older songs to dance too. The songs Gary sang , the words just kinda sent chills threw your body,and romance was in the air all the time.Sure miss the sixties.

  • I remember when this song was SO popular to sing along with. It was like everybody knew the words and wanted to have fun with it. Gary also sang at a pitch that encouraged others to join in with him....not too low and not too high.
