    I saw them in concert in the fall of 1969 after a home football game at college (Purdue). He did that last verse four or five times and kept going higher each time. Imagine sitting in a concert hall with perfect acoustics and hearing that. He lives in Florida now and still goes out and tours occasionally. Generally considered one of the nicest guys in the music business.

      Excellent detail. I wasn't alive in 1969, but 'get' music from that time. Love 70's Country. I found Gary Puckett and the Union Gap around 20 years ago. Bought all the CD's. This song always stood out as timeless.
      The Civil War outfits fit their music. There's a sadness about that time, so many lost in Vietnam.

    I grew up listening to this classic music from the 60's-70's. Gary Puckett & The Union Gap had a lot of great songs such as "Lady Willpower", "Woman, Woman", "Over You", "Don't Give In To Him", "Let's Give Adam & Eve Another Chance" etc. This music brings back good memories for me.

    If you want to hear another beautiful song recorded by the great Gary Puckett, try Home. It wasn't a big hit. But, it is about soldiers and going home. It is a gorgeous tearjerker that totally grabs the heart. I think you will appreciate the beauty. ❤

    There were a lot of songs in the late 60s and early 70s about self,-discover and other people,,'s observations on growing up.
    One of the reasons 9s because most countries in the Far East were only just starting having television sets in their homes, so the songs at that time have to convey extra message packets on life.

    Thank you guys for answering my request. Just a beautiful song which I heard on the radio in 1969...I think...lol....maybe...lol.....all I know is that his voice is powerful and very high tier. Extraordinary. I fell in love with his voice. The group became my favorite Rock band. saw them in concert once, 2004.

"no" my friend says. "that was Gary Puckett!!" the owner told him! Gary was of course older and my friend didn't recognize him

    At age 80 Gary Puckett is still performing this song and many others of his hits. Gary will be here in San Diego where it all started back in 1967 when the band was formed. They sold more records in 1968 than any other band including The Beatles. The Union Gap seemed to lose all their momentum when Kerry ChaterRIP and Gary Mutha Withem left the band to take 9-5 jobs with AM records. I was trying to think of a singer from 1969 that could approach what Gary did on This Girl… The only singer that might have came close would be Roger Daltrey. Check out Gary Puckett singing three songs he co- wrote A Simple Man( the song Hardcore GP fans love the most!! Also Could I, and a ballad called “ If The Day Would Come”. Look up troubadour in the dictionary and you will see a picture of Gary Puckett. Thanks Harry remember A Simple Man perhaps Gary’s greatest performance with The Union Gap.

    I currently cannot think of any singer who had better control over his high end ---- _for a long time_ ---- than Gary Puckett. Maybe McCartney, maybe Art Garfunkel, maybe Jay Black of Jay and the Americans. Keep in mind: I'm only discussing white soul singers. All bets are off if discussing Otis, Wilson Pickett, David Ruffin, Al Green, etc. And, I'm only talking about the male singers. There's Aretha, Ann Wilson, Pat Benatar, Kate Bush, awww, what the hell; we are BLESSED with so many wonderful singers on record, to lift us up. And DON'T FORGET THE SONGWRITERS.
