I was in grade school myself when this song came out and when I first started listening to the radio. All those songs from '66 - '67 are special to me. Thanks for the post.
I seriously doubt that Keith was concerned about how old someone was when he recorded this monster classic. Great music is timeless, and this is one of rock and roll's premier classics.
I will say that I use to watch Keith and the Admirations rehearse in a sewer tunnell in Glenolden PA... as a kid, every now and then I would sing the high notes and impress Keith... "Ain't Gonna Lie"
I grew up in the 50's and 60's. I was 14 in 1967 and it was a special year in my memories. This song and this fragment captures it all from that moment in time. The happy upbeat songs, good times, and feel good songs that flooded the AM radio. So glad I was a part of these times. Thank you for posting this video.
We lived in Newbury Park in the mid-60's. I rode my beloved horse "Beau", along Jungleland property, Arroyo Conejo & through Hidden Valley, most of that area was still somewhat in the country back then. Thanks Dad, for getting us out of SoCal. I still ride my horses today, even in my "old age". LOL.
This is such a gem of a clip, maybe somewhere the rest will turn up. This is from WHERE THE ACTION IS as you can hear it in the intro about the "action" mystery man. I dont know if that show was filmed each time at Jungleland or just this one performance, If it's the one time, then this was the day Jayne Mansfields son, Zoltan, was mauled by a lion in Jungleland.
The announcer has GOT to be Dick Clark. This footage looks and sounds like the show, "Where The Action Is" - I used to watch this show in the afternoons after school. Paul Revere & the Raiders were the "house band!" LOVE this clip!! Shaking my head over the hair! (My mother was SHOCKED!) ;)
Sad to say there is no rest of it. This clip came from keith98.6dotcom and Keith only posted a minute. Other than a UA-cam clip of Keith (goes by Bazza now) singing this at an event this year, there is no full length anything. Hopefully someday!
This clip is a blast from the past in two ways for me. Obviously the great tune, but also, it was filmed at "Jungleland", which was an animal park in Thousand Oaks, about 45 minutes outside of L.A.. Many films using animals used them from here. What an interesting surprise for me to see this - I was in elementary school a few hundred yards up the street from Jungleland, and there in 1967 when this was a hit.
I posted a couple of pictures of my siblings and I at Jungleland in about 1960. I remembered where we were but couldn't remember the name but my older brother could and posted it. Looking for some info on Jungleland brought me to this, and I too say it sadly, fragment of 98.6 with Keith.
Same here - pity. Anyone know what station that was, who the announcer was? Gotta love the way he hit the fade on Keith's intro. Those were the days DJs were actually a part of the show. (*sigh*)
@09bnunez What was Keith in jail for, how long ago was it, and do you know the length of his sentence? How would being in jail kill one's career? I like Keith. His "98.6" song has many fond memories of my childhood.
i grew up in 1000 oaks and remember going to jungleland anytime we felt like it me and my buddys would just go down there and sneak in and just kinda be mischevious,but we never cuased any damage or anything just being kids i guess!!
I lookedt his up after finding an autograph I got from Keith while he was appearing on John Zacherly's TV Show Disc-o-Teen. I'd like to see th ewhole thing if it exists
Jungleland was home for all the MGM lions, and Cheetah the chimp from the Tarzan movies. Now the site of the Thousand Oaks city hall and Performing Arts Center. This is one of the last remaining films of Jungleland as it was from ~1920s - 1968
This loks like a bit more Where the Action IS footage but I can be wrong on that A lot of WTAI footage looks like this cropped and a very watery warpy picture
& oh yeah I have always LOVED this song. It's, like, so optimistic & stuff. Lovely. Brings a tear to me eye. Where's the rest of it, reel it on out. But cut off the letterbox machine.
The resolution on this is pretty poor to begin with. Then turning standard aspect into widescreen further distorts it. Better standard aspect ratio as it appeared when Dick Clark was on with "Action." I saw this performance way back when.
This was out when I was just five years old, 1967... I remember hearing this on 93 KHJ in LA

I love the intro by Dick Clark. He was such a talented man. RIP 😢
Well Thank you Keith for a nice song and being an enigma!
First time I've seen Keith other than on the cover of his 45. I remember hearing it first on WROK in the 60's. Thanks for the cool video.
Its definitly Where the Action Is...with Dave Clark doing the intro...has he always did from some distant location...great song...
Even if it is only a fragment, at least you get to see the singer perform his song. Thanks for posting!
He met Paul McCartney in a bathroom, and before Keith could tell Paul how much he loved the Beatles, Paul started telling Him how much he loved 98.6!
I read somewhere it was John Lennon he met and Lennon told Keith how much he liked 98.6.

Always one to remind me of the sunny sixties. Thanks for posting it.

Great tune . I remember WRKO, wow that takes me back. But then a few years later I found WBCN and that changed everything for me
I was 13 when this came out. I loved it. Still do.

Absolutely love this, wish I could see more of the performance, can't believe he's American!
Now this rocks, I never forgot this song!
Beautiful.
Where is this? Bad teeth on Brit singers was considered part of their charm in the 60's. See Herman of Herman & The Hermits.
This and 60s Welsh group the Bystanders released this at the same time. ...& theyre both excellent.

"History falls to parking lots & shopping malls".
"They paved paradise and put up a parking lot"
Nice post. I enjoyed every (almost a) minute of it. Thanks azitis!
HISTORY.
Same here - pity. Anyone know what station that was, who the announcer was? Gotta love the way he hit the fade on Keith's intro. Those were the days DJs were actually a part of the show. (*sigh*)
I remember watching this I am not lying
it's "Keefer" actually..he's from Philadelphia.
@09bnunez What was Keith in jail for, how long ago was it, and do you know the length of his sentence?
How would being in jail kill one's career?
I like Keith. His "98.6" song has many fond memories of my childhood.

Thanks for posting this rare gem. I just want to comment on what 1 fan says Keith went to jail
for.He said TAX evasion.
Wow! How rare is this video?
Thank you for this ♪♪♪♪
great teeny bopper song, what happened to the rest
kieth was in jail back in the 60s, smoking marajunna, he got busted on the height of his carreer, it kill his career
Where it the rest of this? I want to see the whole thing!!!

Apparently, JungleLand lost favor after Disneyland opened and people stopped visiting. Bob Hope bought it afterwards.
This loks like a bit more Where the Action IS footage but I can be wrong on that A lot of WTAI footage looks like this cropped and a very watery warpy picture
it wasn't for smoking mj, it was for draft-evasion.
& oh yeah I have always LOVED this song. It's, like, so optimistic & stuff. Lovely. Brings a tear to me eye. Where's the rest of it, reel it on out. But cut off the letterbox machine.
he was in jail for a while, he only had 2 hits thats all!!! good singer.jail kill his career

What show is this from? Is it the same one that had Eddie Floyd singing "Knock On Wood?"
Send me back to 1967. Please.
What show is this?
Sonjia L Parker
Where are you?
Roger is looking for you.
He was AMERICAN.
Right. One more time: if it ain't widescreen to begin with, don't try to "modernize" it! Just squashes the image & gives me a headache...
damn letterboxing! distorts and ruins the image. why? WHY??!!!!!!!
