"Eternal Light" (instrumental from 1969) (mono): ua-cam.com/video/w3iMmEvft4U/v-deo.html

"The Train" (mono 45 version which has the choo choos): ua-cam.com/video/F8-xbdhyIUY/v-deo.html

"Hard Ride" (from 1969 & complete album) which has "The Train" (BUT the album version does NOT have the choo choos in which the 45 mono version has). The song "Creations Of Simon" almost reminds me of the "Match Game" TV game show theme!!: ua-cam.com/video/HkcJxAGReRQ/v-deo.html

Great Interview thankyou Bobby Brooks Wilson ❤🎉

1910 Fruitgum music was played at my school dances on a regular basis. Those were good times. Happy memories. I also liked "Ohio Express & Kasenetz Katz Super Circus LP".

He is a legend

1:11 Frankie Valli👍 I remember, when Dick Biondi got fired in Chicago, and the joke he told that got him fired.

I remember getting a phone call from Jimi Jamison after he and JP had gotten back together and sang. He was on cloud 9. He was so excited to be working with JP again. ❤ you look great and may be a dumb question but where is your book? Surely you have stories to tell. Not dirt cool moments to share with us. ❤

Awesome!!! So thrilled I found this video. I saw Jackie Wilson live in Las Vegas in 1964. He was unbelievable!!! He would be so proud to watch his son perform. God Bless you Bobby.

The psychedelic flip-side of "Simon Says" was a classic! That's the side I always played! "Reflections From The Looking Glass"!

I had that Hendrix on my Wall

Awesome interview!!😉😻😍🥰

I used to see Jim in the Walgreens in Indian Head Park when I lived there and he would always stop to talk to me. He really is a great down to earth guy! One time it was close to Easter and he wished me and my family a happy Easter, and he always carried around a notebook and bag in case he had an idea while he was out!

I think it’s unforgivable that the Association is not in the R n R Hall of Fame! I think the music is as relevant today as it ever was. I play “Birthday Morning” every year on my birthday!

Can’t wait to see this! I’ll be in town from CA!!

🫶🏼💕👍

I listened to WAKY 790 in the day time hours, it faded out in the evening, (time ?). At the time WAKY faded out.... WLS's signal turned up and WOW we had good music all the time. That was around 1962 (I was 17) on thru adulthood. God I miss hearing Biondi call out the stations I.D ..... "WLS 890 in Chicago" !!!!!! We couldn't get WLS in daytime, signal was too weak, but in the evening, OH yea.

Yes he is sweetheart he is his father son

Love Jackie Wilson

❤this man,s story is a true destiny story his father,s spirit has been following him all his life. Amazing miracle do happen❤❤

The Hammond B-3 organ is the best and most iconic sounding Keyboard even today. Jon LORD of Deep Purple was a true master of the B-3

I bought all of the Fruitgum Company's 45 records back then and also Ohio Express and the K & K Singing Orchestral Circus - great catchy music from the late 60's

What a great interview! Growing up as a pre-teen in the early 60's, my parents had virtually zero interest in music, and so there was never any musical influence in the house. My older brother listened a bit to the Ventures, Santo & Johnny, and the Righteous Bros as my only exposure. When I got my very own first transistor radio and tuned into the local market radio station that I'll bet Frank Jeckell himself knew very well, WARM the Mighty 590 in Wilkes-Barre, PA, the 1910 Fruitgum Company was one of the very first bands I heard and immediately fell in love with. Although I have become these days a symphonic metal fan of the Nightwish school of appreciation, Fruitgum's bubblegum music from Simon Says all the way up to The Train still have a great influence on my musical foundations! I still listen to their oldies quite often! How great it was to hear these candid inside stories that I never knew before! Thank you guys and to Frank for making my life richer.

Great video. I have always liked the 1910 Fruitgum Company.

I love the story of how he and the Ides left the debauched Led Zep party and went to Dunkin Doughnuts for coffee ☕😊. Great guy.

And I thought Rick Nielsen had it bad. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh. I miss my friend Bobby Rydell. Heaven has a special Angel ❤

Jim is the King of song writers. Grew up listening to his tremendously awesome tunes. This is one person in the music industry I wish I could meet before I leave this world. Thanks Jim for all the wonderful memories.

Great interview! Jim had a Les Paul with a metal plate on the back of the head as a repair. I wonder if he still has it.

oh my gosh i loved your band, this was my childhood.

What an amazing story! Paul Revere, Bruno Mars, Elvis Presley, Levi Stubbs.... so many greats in the industry played a part in bringing Bobby Wilson to the forefront to perform in honor of his father.

Miss you Walt

Out of all of Jackie Wilson's kids that I have seen pics of Bobby Brooks looks exactly like him.

Dick Biondi was a real gentleman. He was always so nice to kids everywhere. Truly a great American Treasure.

Wonderful honest interview with frank. I had the pleasure to reunite frank, floyd and yes mark to perform on a national satellite entertainment talk show in the mid 90s. They hadn't seen eachother in nearly 30 years. They performed to a backing track simon says and 123 redlight with mark doing live vocals. It was a thrilling evening. Weeks b4 mark indulged my fandom and sat down for an extensive near 30 minute interview and brought his gold record of simon. Yes i have it all on dvd now transferred from master videotapes. Mark was very gracious as he doesnt really like the spotlight. Frank and floyd were fabulous and i consider it a big highlight of my 40 year tv career.

I grew up on his music in my teens I would turn up the stereo wide open to his music , I so love all his songs, wish I could meet him in person I would invite him into my home and enjoy hearing him talk and sing, my husband Jerry loves his music as well just a assume song writer and talented guy , keep showing us videos updates

Jim Peterik is the keeper of the chords. He has an uncanny ability to order them them into the most captivating patterns.

Bobby Brooks Wilson is so much like his father. I love his personality, his talent, his honesty, his faith and his commitment to carry his father's memory forward. I wish him the very best and continued success ❤

Biondi at his best! ua-cam.com/video/yyp80unq1y8/v-deo.html

A great interview! Born in 56' and had tons of 45's including 1910 fruitgum company. All the kids loved them and I remember at school they would play 45's at lunchtime and all they girls would dance. Great memories! Thanks

"Hmm" Elvis, Prince, Jackie. 🤔

driving my 56 old's and listening to WLS, My grandparents were part of the WLS Barn Dance way back when. i graduated in 65.

how to get the story played in Oside CA, so many here from Chi Town.

Hope Walter is doing as well as possible these days.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jim and his family and he showed me around. He told me a funny story about the Hammond B3 organ in the lower level. The organ is named Bertha

All that’s missing is a sweet woman. I hope he has one

Love this guy
