Don't cha just HATE IT when that happens? At the end of the movie, "Captain America: The First Avenger", there was a very rousing music score that accompanied the cast credits of the movie. After hearing this particular piece of music, I made it a point to buy the Movie Soundtrack, of the film. The CD arrived and I eagerly anticipated putting the desired song in my computer, so I could load it onto my phone. I listened to every track of that CD, and the song I had my heart set on listening to, WASN'T on the DISC.
On this day in 1964 {Oct. 14th & Dec. 16th} Adam Faith performed "It's Alright" on ABC-TV's 'Shindig!'. Just over three months later on January 16th, 1965 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #31 & spent 8 weeks on the Top 100. In the UK the B-side of "I Love Being in Love with You", it peaked at #33, and between 1959 and 1966 he had twenty four songs on the United Kingdom Singles chart. RIP Mr. Faith {1940 - 2003} and Jimmy O'Neill {Shindig's host, 1940 - 2013}.
Me neither! I never heard of Adam Faith until I saw this movie years ago & that song had always stuck with me for years. A great rock tune! Just a few years ago, on UA-cam, I found out who he was....He was very handsome too, wow!
This song was one of many written by Chris Andrews for Adam during his "Beatle" phase when he was adopting the new sound and trying to achieve chart success in USA(this one was only a minor hit there)
It wasn't one of his biggest hits - peaked at #31 in the US, and didn't even chart in his native UK. Don't get me wrong - I love the song myself. However, I understand why it wouldn't get airplay on oldies stations today.
Ironically I was 335 and in college and Robin was 351. He said they would have declare war on New Jersey .for him to go. God bless Robin and those who went to defend.
How amazing is the hypocrisy of life that we all enjoyed Robin Williams' humour through life, and now that doubled up the sadness we feel when we see him after he has passed. The dichotomy is real.
@@DaveDexterMusic the hypocrisy of life is that it is beautiful, and we live to survive, until it's so awful we have to take our own lives. The dichotomy is obvious then.
Other record labels that show up in this clip: London (the blue/light blue design), Motown, Bang!, (the previous two are next to eah other, the Motown is on top of a Beatles picture sleeve) Checker? (black design), Capitol (just after Cronauer rocking toward and away from the mic for less than a second) Also, of course, the album that is visible for a bit is the Beatles' "Help!", which got translated into German as "Hi-Hi-HI-Hilfe!".
A short post from the record nerds: when they spin the Adam Faith record (why Dawn Busters? Legal issues?) The record that is spinning is on Crimson Records. In the USA the Faith record was on Amy Records. The Crimson label design that is seen was ca. 1967 and the movie takes place in 1965. Needless to say that this broke the reality and I cried for days following the lawsuit. Just kidding. I loved the movie and I miss Robin Williams terribly.
Robin Williams( RIP, Robin) makes the announcement in role, ie as aka Kaurnuaer he is doing the 6am show, and he's referring to the various discs he's going to bust the dawn with. Fooled me too, I heard it on GMV on the TV tonight, and thought " That's great", mmust Google The Dawnbusters, buy at the so at the end I checked the credits and I was totally gon-smackeded to discover it was Adam Farth. I was in my early teens when Adam Faith was making hits ( all rather bland) somehow I missed this. I had no idea he could rock it with the best of them. Great performance, full of verve.
@@Jigaboo123456 AF started out making records in the ballad style with orchestral backing,when the Beatles,Liverpool groups,etc started Adam decided to change direction and go with the new "sound" with some fabulous songs by Chris Andrews and good backing by the Roulettes(The first time,we are in love,It's alright,I don't need that kind of lovin',etc) he never had any real chart success in America but they're still good to listen to

It's Alright was one of a number of fabulous songs written to order by Chris Andrews for Adam during his 'Mersey sound" era when he was backed by The Roulettes (Made for me,I don,t need that kind of lovin,We are in love)
@@bryanpalmer9660 Cheers, clicking on your reply brought me here again, so I clicked on a couple of versions he did for two seperate "Shindig" appereances in the US. Both are superb, with energy exploding from Adam Faith The Newbeats and the Isley Brothers and frenetic go-go dancers.- Here's a link enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/6pjZ82KwNWw/v-deo.html
@@Jigaboo123456thanks for the link--great footage of Adam and the others on Shindig which was a great show and co produced by English prod Jack Good who produced 50s UK R n R show Oh Boy!--if you look at that footage you can see Goods influence on Shindig(cam angles,intros,cast,etc)thanks for the post
@@bryanpalmer9660 Yup, "Shindig" was well named, 'cos a shindig was what they had- great music,great dancers( gotta love those go-go girls!) and a great party atmosphere! I'd forgotten about "Oh Boy"- you're right, it clearly influenced "Shindig"-- big surprise to me, The Yanks, having invented Rock'n' Roll, usually did it better, and they are never afraid of spending money on things, including TV programmes.
Sorry, but I assume he's a left wing Democrat ... BUT no matter, as this guy was truly, truly, a natural born, God gifted entertainer/actor, a one of a kind. But, full disclosure, if he is a left wing nut, and I believe he is, that has nothing to do with his talent that was on loan from God, 'cause he was great, not good or real good!
I'm still not completely sure why liberalism scares you NRA loving nutjobs... Is it the free, rational thinking? The ability to argue without grabbing a loaded firearm? It baffles me, it really does.
RIP Airman Adrian Cronauer.
He added some humor, and lots of laughs, to a horrible war, in a place that these courageous men didn’t want to be!

If you listen to the broadcasts without looking at the scene you really get a sense of how they were extremely important for morale among the men…
My favorite sequence in the movie, by far. Love the use of the song along with the fun hand-held documentary style shots.
LOL at the dancing sergeant in this scene
I love this movie so much. Watched this as a kid every Christmas morning while i opened my stocking.
Just the song you want to play on the sound system, when you ride a 2022 Stripped down Honda Gold Wing on a open stretch of empty highway!
I'm really surprised this track wasn't on the album soundtrack for the film; it would have been a brilliant addition!!

One of my favorite movies. His death hit me so hard that i couldn't watch this for 2 years
Eye can DANCE 2 This !
Robin Williams in his best form.... I realy miss him, incredible man..... 😭🙏
I would have never known of this record if it hadn't been in this movie, i have never heard it on an oldies station

@@Hammster69official Sirius XM 60s Gold played it 6/12/22. Had forgotten all about it until then. Thanks, Sirius XM!
One of those songs with a brief chart run (peaked at #31 in Feb, 1965) and put out to pasture by mainstream radio only to be rediscovered again.
Thanks for posting this!
Ironically I was 335 and in college and Robin was 351. He said they would have declare war on New Jersey .for him to go. God bless Robin and those who went to defend.
Have a Good travel.. forever Our Capitan
Favorite movie of all time.
Thank you.
BIG DOGS! BIG DOGS!

Great movie and great song that I had not heard before seeing this movie. thanks for posting.
The funniest man that ever lived.
Must have been a blast working with Robin. RIP dude! Hope you're making the angels laugh too.

I saw a copy of The Dave Clark Five's single I Like It Like That
Humor is just not the same now that Robin has Died :(
It's true..
There are no strings in the harps of the Angels because Robin Williams is dead.....

Speaking of Adam Faith, I saw him yesterday in the movie "Foxes."
I once saw Adam Faith in a fight with a girls Father A bit one sided her old man gave him a licken
It's all right

I wonder if there more scenes of the Radio show that was not on the film. More deleted scenes?
Love this sequence. Have you tried nerve gas? Yes! On myself Whoah! Fucking hilarious...
yeah they never show movie jack I don't why
hard to believe that this movie is from 1988 and almost half the American cast is dead as of 2015.
28 years. It just doesn't seem that long. When we first saw it, there were still a few drive-in theaters around town so that's where we went.
really?? everyone from the cast of 'platoon' is still alive except for Francesco Quinn (Anthony Quinn's son, who played Cpl. Rhah)
Forest Whitaker is still alive.
This was stylistic documentary of how this country used to be.
Yeah, I'm sure Vietnam's changed a lot. Is this really a documentary of it though?
I fucking miss Robin Williams.
The one track that should have been on the soundtrack, but was left off.
CSX Productions I know right!
Interesting on why it was left off, its as good as the rest of the soundtrack
I don't know what it is about..
are you enemy 😀
Lock and loll baby lock and loll....
Is this scene funnier than #supertroopers scene? I'm gonna butter your bread?
Do any movie buffs agree?
0:29 he would be cancelled today
So miss Robin Williams. The world lost a perfect comedian.
I'm outta here
Well, this is awkward.
Yeah, Robin Williams always was really painfully awkward to watch, and not terribly funny.
