The Blades of Grass-Happy 1967

This version came out 2 weeks after The Sunshine Company and charted higher in eastern cities than TSC's but nationally TBofG's charted at 87. Soaring harmonies from an east coast quartet very representative from Sunshine Pop from California. Enjoy!

@mugatomick No self-respecting young man ever picked up an instrument to play in a band and said "Lord I hope I don't meet girls from doing this."

Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!! This was "our" song back in 1967. We thought it was the most perfect love song then and still do to this day 42 years later!!! It brought tears to my eyes to hear it again with the amazing video. What an incredible video and music. I shall replay it many, many times. Incredible!!!!!

I imagine it was in many weddings in the 60's too.

I became "engaged" to David in August 67 & we were so Happy.

We went all through High School together.

Sadley, our Love wasn't strong enough. I think of him, hearing this song.

I have never heard this before but it well represents a style of that time.

What a great song and the girl is a twin for one of my daughters!

Another underrated feel good song from the sixties.

Back when music and the words created beautiful meaningful poetry. Thanks for this.
