I've always liked this song, if you haven't done so, click on Tommy James live version--it's probably over there on the right!

I think the chorus in this song is his best in his repertoire. How it changes tempo towards the end is neat.  As for the entire song, I love Sweet Cherry Wine.

All Hail, to the Leslie Doppler Cabinet, creatively applied to the vocal refrains in the verses on this song.

More typically the found paried with tone wheel Hammond Organs, artists of that era and earlier...well, I must correct myself.. even currently, discriminating artists continue to restore them and lug the beasts around with them on tour. Paul Schaffer wouldnt be caught dead without a pair (for stereo effect I'm told). Nice upload. Also see the Cyrkle's version (produced by James) I

Cool Telefunken turntable--that old German audio equipment was great--My cousin has an old Grundig radio she brought back when she was an Air Force officer stationed in Germany in the late 1950s.

Nothing today is as reliable.

I SERVED IN "NAM" DURING 1969-1970. THIS WAS ONE OF THE SONGS THAT GOT ME THROUGH THAT DISASTER THAT CLAIMED THE LIVES OF OUR "BROTHERS" MAY GOD BLESS YOU FELLOW SERVICEMAN( I WAS WITH THE 173RD AIRBORNE AS A "SLICK" PILOT(IF YOU REMEMBER, A SLICK WAS A TRANSPORT HELICPTOR) WHAT WAS YOUR UNIT AND WHAT WAS YOUR JOB. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TELL ME IT'S O.K.

REMINDS ME WHEN I SERVED IN THE 173RD AIRBOURNE IN 1969-1970 IN VIETNAM

Great song....and this old record player is over the top! What great sound...nothing like vinyl on an original record player. The bass, and sound, is far superior to what you get with CDs or MP3s.....how I miss the old days!!!

I got drafted in 1969 and I didn't remember this title. As I listened to it, it started to come back. It's funny how you forget such things like that. I loved the music from that time. I think I will just sit here and listen to this song over and over for a while and make up for all the times that I missed it. I love this group. All of their work was wonderful !!!!!

I like this music. Maybe someone can upload "Kathleen McArthur" by Tommy James & The Sondells? That would be great!

What's that black thing spinning around in the video? HaHa... Just kidding. The audio is excellent.
