- If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer about the love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
Ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh
If I had a bell
I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening
All over this land
I'd ring out danger
I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring about the love between my brothers and my sisters
All, all over this land
Ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh
If I had a song
I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening
All over this land
I'd sing out danger
I'd sing out a warning, yeah
I'd sing out about the love between my brothers and my sisters
All, all over this land
Ooh, ooh ooh
Ooh, ooh
Now, I've got a hammer
And I've got a bell
And I've got a song to sing
All over this land
It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom, yeah
It's the song about the love between my brothers and my sisters
All, all over this land
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
All over this land
Ooh, all over this land
Hee, all over this land, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
All over this land
Hee, all over this land
One of the most memorable songs (to a pre-teen kid) in early 1963, played repeatedly on my little 6-transistor radio! The song was so good, it hit the Billboard Hot 100's Top 10 for two different artists! Peter, Paul and Mary hit #10 with it in 1962, and Trini Lopez hit even bigger with it in 1963, in the middle of the civil rights movement, at #3. Trini was 26 then, 82 now in Jan. 2020. What a timeless standard for love and peace, "all over the world."
And ...Rita Pavone made an Italian version
Original song of Pete Seeger
Trini Lopez lost his life on Aug. 11, at 83. He celebrated his final birthday on May 15. He was born in Dallas, TX, died in Palm Springs, CA. In 1955/56 Trini Lopez and his band worked at The Vegas Club, a nightclub owned by Jack Ruby, the nightclub owner who assassinated Lee Harvey Oswald on Nov. 24, 1963.
😔👏👏👏😚
😍😔👏👏👏👏👏
Trini Lopez died today, August 11, 2020 from the coronavirus at age 83. Rest In Peace! Thanks for the music!
Rest in Peace Trini Lopez thanks for your music and acting God bless you
@@phillipbonner9944 Caleb again..
another Legend has fallen to the virus!
Wow, died from the virus? How sad. How in the world does somebody of this age get this?
He did not have COVID. He died of respiratory problems not related to the virus.
Colleen Hoover according to the NYT it was Covid related.
RIP Trini Lopez August 11, 2020 gone, but definitely never forgotten.
In 1963 I was 18 holidaying in the South of France . Now I am 75 and sad Trini has left us . Thanks Trini RIP
Trini RIP
Youre gone but not your music
❤❤❤🎶🎶🎶🙏🙏🙏
@@ruthannkizakavich3325 Adios, Trinidad. The song he made his own RIP
One of the memorable Folk (anti-war) songs of that exciting time! He, Peter, Paul & Mary, Bob Dylan, and The Kingston Trio made so many great tunes about stupid wars, the civil rights movement, and others that presaged The Beatles and the British Invasion the next year. Definitely, Trini's performance, with the hand clapping, the audience reaction stood out from many of the others. I'm glad he was able to live to 83, compared to others who did not live as long. R.I.P., Trini Lopez.
If they had UA-cam back in 1963
this song would had 250billions views by now
Facts
I Concur Tasos ...
Deservedly so...
Check out Cranberries 'Zombie"
Over 0ne billion and counting...
Have seen no other post with these numbers...
I'm named after Trini
There was 'UA-cam' back in 1963, but it was called 'GlassTube' at the time :o)
Absolute best version of this song. The great Trini!
I also love this version. But also the one by Peter, Paul & Mary. Trini Lopez' version is more powerfull, but I'm missing the harmonies. I wish the two versions could be combined.
Absolutely yes 👍 I play this over and over again back in day also I believe he passed 🙏
Totally agree awesome😅
Concordo plenamente! Conheço essa versão desde 1986.
Nope. Bestest BESTEST version is up right here on YT, Debbie Reynolds' version on Scopitone.
When Trini sings that "Bell" part, and the drummer hits the middle of that ride cymbal, the Holy Spirit of rock action enters my soul!
Me too and I'm a drummer
That drummer was Mickey Jones who was the drummer for Kenny Rodgers and First Edition. He was also an actor. He guest star on Home Improvement.
@@bhodges00 Also a member of the group eventually known as The Band, backing Dylan on his 1966 world tour when Levon Helm took a hiatus.
Yes❤🎉
We drummers are digging some Trini!
Oh Trini, The world needs a The Hammer of Justice and The Bell of Freedom right now.
A HAMMER OF JUSTICE AND A BELL OF FREEDOM ALL OVER THIS LAND. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes against trump!
@@cnino1971 He is part of the club that we aren't in!
Since we're attacking Presidents, how about a good whack on the Court Jester in Chief right now?
@@williammasi7128 It's a full clown show right now.
When I went to the USA for the first time, on a scholarship, this hit was still famous. It was sung by Arab singers along with many other nationals. RIP Trini Lopez
When i was really young, my grandma would always say "If i had a hammer", and now i finally know where she got it from
Trini Lopez was a great Entertainer. RIP 🙏
'I'd hammer in the morning, I'd hammer in the evening.' Is this guy my neighbour?
When I hear Trini singing this song it takes me back to 1963 when I met my husband. It was still our song after 45 years when he passed away.
Indeed , because we trapped with our shoes on the bank , 200 15 agers , when the surveillant stays on the door
I recently learned this was my late Grandad's favorite. 🙂
His performance is great because you can tell he thoroughly enjoys singing it. Love the sound.
I agree with you you can see how much he's enjoying singing and playing the music 🎶🎶
They don’t call them “Golden Oldies” for nothing. Rock on Trini........
(1:02) It is not a bell, not a cowbell. RIP Trini Lopez🌹
Really good drummer, he enhanced the song well.
That was Mickey Jones. He also played with Johnny Rivers, Bob Dylan, and then Kenny Rogers and the First Edition before taking up a long an successful acting career!
Another part of my youth has quietly faded. RIP Mr. Lopez. More people, especially at this time, should follow the advice of this great song that you help to make famous!
I know what you mean, Trini was a big part of my youth too.
Not quietly I listen to Trini often.
When I was 9 year old , my mom bought me a Phillips modular two piece Disc record Player .. I was born Dic 1963 .. this was the song I played all day long ..
Mon oncle m avait ramené un disque de trini Lopez en 1963 disque que j écoutais en boucle et 60 ans plus tard j éprouve la même émotion pour ce chanteur.
Man, I’ve just heard of his passing. This was, is and always will be my “go to” song for happiness and to cheer me up in dark times. Truly saddened To learn this news for someone I’ve never met. Thank you Trini for getting me through tough times.
Yes Sir...He brought a song of Protest into words of Beauty...God Bless. R.I.P.
Yes! I agree.
If “I Had a Hammer”, first written by Pete Seeger in 1950, seems just as relevant today if not more so. Hard to believe this song is 70 years old! Trini, you were such a class act! We all miss you and those times. R.I.P. Thank you.
I fell in love with English language Thanks 👍 to this uplifting song. Hi 👋 from Morocco
Hello, friend! From USA.
@@carolinastringband Hope everything honky dorey there 😊😊😊
So nice🎶💖🌎
The year JFK was assassinated. I loved that song and Trini Lopez. He was a great entertainer.
A window in a more confident America that certainly had its issues. Sigh about JFK, I don’t think the nation ever got over his assassination. RIP Mr. Lopez.
You've got to love Trini Lopez, a wonderful exciting performer, always makes me smile...RIP
I've got a song to sing❤ all over this land ❤ rip beautiful song 🎵
America need this anthem.
Peter, Paul & Mary first recorded this song. But nobody could rock it like Trini Lopez. RIP.
Trini Lopez gave us hope at a time when anything was possible. We could accomplish anything. The love he sang about will not be forgotten.
Trini Lopez has joined the Celestial Band. He will be rocking and rolling and playing tht guitar with the best! Thanks for singing for us Trini.
Absolutely! Joined the great choir in Rock nRoll Heaven!
Can anyone recall in the 1960s when Trini Lopez and his band appeared on British tv in a programme called "Ready Steady Go"? At the time all the performers mimed their songs except Trini who insisted on playing live. He brought the house down.
My Mom loved Trini, her Trini albums are safe in my vinyl collection.
I first heard this song on the first album by The Limeliters (1960). The Limeliters have been musical heroes for me ever since.
I loved him! After my high school prom, we went to a nightclub that was closing and he was one of the headliners!!!
How cute. Wish I had the opportunity to attend one of his shows then. Nice seeing your comment on here, It seems we share and have the same music taste. It will be nice if we share music and gain a friend if you don't mind. May I ask where are you from?
That's nice. It seems we share and have the same music taste. It will be nice if we share music and gain a friend if you don't mind. May I ask where are you from?
I was a little girl when this came out, but I remember it.....and my mom dancing in the living room. RIP Trini. It's still a great song!
The drummer shown at 2.17 is Mickey Jones, a fantastic character actor that had a long hollywood career, and played some memorable roles such as construction worker Pete on home improvement.
Are you serious..??
@@humbertoflores2545 Yes, totally serious.
What a voice. I loved him when I was 7. 60 years later I still think he's one of the greats
Wow,it's been 60 years since I was 7 unbelievable.
@@mikemeiring6710 me too! When your birthday?
I was 14 living in Nueva York!!
@@hilaryapril7043 so was I
Yes me too I about that age
My mother used to hear it, I used to sang it. It's my childhood's hit.
Oh geez he passed? Trini. I got to know him. He played PJ’s off the Sunset Strip and my mom would go see him. He was a trendsetter of the time. I worked at K-tel records and we put out a record with him. I went out to Palm Springs house. A gent. Memories. Now in 61. Time moves on. RIP Trini.
RIP Signor Lopez you demonstrated to humanity how songs of social consciousness can reach across cultural or ethnic groups. Thank you !
Used to listen to this record as a child during the 1960's along with The Beatles, Sergio Mendez & Brasil 66', Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass Band, etc. Really enjoyed it even today in 2020.
Cool song
Same here... miss those days.
The Drummer really ads a kick to this song. Trini does a fabulous job.
That is the talented actor/drummer Mickey Jones, who would go on to play with Johnny Rivers, Bob Dylan, and Kenny Rogers & the First Edition. He collected over a dozen gold records personally. He would later become an actor that played in numerous movies and TV shows...and sadly, passed away last year.
glad you pointed it out or I was going to
Wissdok that’s right. A lot of people would be surprised at his history. Quite a varied and well traveled life. One of my favorite character actors. As the unscrupulous mechanic in Vacation when Clark Griswold asks him how much the bill is, he replies “ how much you got?”.
Wissdok Is that the same Mickey Jones who was in “Justified?” If so, he was terrifying - but then, so were many of the characters. My word, I loved that series.
@@Wissdok Wow! Great info
Thought He was just another pasty faced "White Boy" so easy to hate...of late!
What a legend, and never a more appropriate song for these times.
RIP mate, you’ve earned it.
I am european but this song touch my heart and watching his joy while performing that amazing song makes me smile:) he was a likeable man
RIP to a true American icon, and beautiful performer. Trini Lopez forever...
You better sing that song makes me want to cry happy tears😢😅
The days of music like this are gone forever. Thank God we still have the records!
I remember this song from the 60's. It was revolutionary in that Trini used an electric guitar and drums during the period of the folk era of acoustics. Good memories!
Entertainers had class in these days.
The late Trini Lopez deserves credit for having the first true folk-rock hit on the heels of the late-'50s/early-'60s US folk music revival: this one from the summer of 1963.
And Pete Seeger deserves credit for writing it. Just sayin.
@@CalebTrask - As long as you're "just sayin" [sic], maybe you should give credit to Lee Hays, the co-writer of the song (Seeger's pal in The Weavers, who first recorded "The Hammer Song" in 1950).
@@Noomz-of-Earl I commend you on your masterful use of Wikipedia.
@@CalebTrask - You deserve credit for inspiring me to take a deeper dive into the song's origin, which is pure mid-20th century American folk. Trini Lopez emerged out of early Tex-Mex rock 'n' roll (and was an admirer of Ritchie Valens), so he clearly came up with his own unique hybrid folk-rock sound that deserves recognition for innovation (something I don't see him getting in the literature, including Wikipedia.).
Of course, Ritchie Valens turned "La Bamba" into folk-rock (albeit a one-off) in 1958. Trini took this sound into the mainstream in 1963 and stayed with it for years.
Imagine trini working with Ritchie valens that would have been epic & may you rest in peace my fellow latino brother 🎸🎙🙏
Thank You, Trini Lopez
How simple and timeless😃
Tenia 6 años yo le tome atencion en 1971 ya hiba en la secundaria❤JESUS RINCON RODRIGUEZ
He was the reason I took up guitar 🎸. Pure Class. My Mom thought he was so handsome
wow, this is great!!!
Rest in peace Trini Lopez, and thank you for the music.
The drummer is a good one too.
i was taught that song with the hand gesture about the hammer.bell and song.its still sticks with me now at 64yr yr old......love it YEAH. i was 6 at the time.
What a talent and great guy, too! Loved his version of this song. Just found he died in 2020. Rest in peace, he is now happy with his savior, Jesus! Thanks for all the many songs you left us. Trini!
Amen to that awesome song 🎵
Ese compa Trini!! Un viejo bigoton! Rest in peace and thanks for the good music and Mexican corridos with el tigrillo palma
RIP Mr Trini López🌿🕊🌿 you will be missed. A great singer, actor, entertainer and Tex-mex. Love your music. We could use "a little hammer and bell right about now." Vaya con Dios, Señor. Que Dios te bendiga siempre y en todo momento for all the good times. You left us on my son's birthday. As a Tex- Mex my self, you made me proud. I will never forget you. 🌿🕊🌿🤗
It was also my greatnephews birthday also , he could've been my uncle . I don't know why my Aunt Mary said no to marrying him.
Well Known my very good song in El Salvador. Once in Halloween of 1982 Trini Lopez was riding in a White Rolls Royce on Western and Santa Monica Blvd in Hollywood with a flat tire and chanting I am Trini Lopez the singer of If I had a hammer. It's was a crazy moment I couldn't believe that my idol was in front of me.
WOW....sie haben ihn getroffen😮
Remembering Trini López born on May 15, 1937. He was an American singer, guitarist, and actor. His first album included a cover version of Pete Seeger's "If I Had a Hammer", which earned a Golden Disc for him. His other hits included "Lemon Tree", "I'm Comin' Home, Cindy" and "Sally Was a Good Old Girl". He designed two guitars for the Gibson Guitar Corporation, which are now collectors’ items. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trini_Lopez
Great body language and beat. This live version became a hit. Trini was a cool guy. It was popular when I was in college and we all listened to him along with all the other music of that period.
My favorite version of this song. The roofers are here today and for some reason this song popped into my head....can't imagine why. :D
bash monkeys heads in to convert a cummins into a 2 stroke, its benn done with poppet valves loop scavenging, 4 stroke monkeys will bite and are mean and dont like 2 stroke Cat and Cumin's conversions loop scavenged. monkeys are creators of there own habitat and prefer 4 stroke diesels but they hate 2 strokes!
In Italy it was- Datemi un martello-,and in France -si j avais un marteau-.And everybody was happy.
Because there's gonna be some hammerin' done.
Or was it because the roofers were Hispanic and Lopez was too?
Hes wearing a suit & tie, back in the day when people dressed nice! That's class!
What a great smile he had! I'm 66 yrs old and still love his version! RIP my friend.
I used to sing this around the house driving my parents mad. . Loved and still do love it...
Keep singin' to your fellow Angels Trini... RIP..xx
WOW...... this guy rocks.....Hammer all the time...... all over this land......justice.......yea.....yea.....yea....all my brothers an sisters
What a song.What a singer.It's timeless
This world could use more brotherly love all over this land RIP my brother
Justice ! Freedom !
A great song.
Talento latino de México, poco conocido por su gente, pero los que nos gusta la buen música lo apreciamos.
yo le recuerdo de mi joven at once anos. Yo soy Americano.
Trini Lopez was an American born in Dallas Texas, pendejo.
Dear G. G. Army: ua-cam.com/video/UwOYE-Msa6U/v-deo.html
¿Cómo que poco conocido? ¡¡ Pero si fue ídolo en Latinoamérica !!
what do you mean? He was very big here in the states!! Extremely popular!!
Perfection.Really unforgettable tunes.
Minha adolescência bem vivida ! Maravilhosa !
Dê um giro aqui no canal e você terá muito a relembrar.
Sent this to my friend who works night shift, and is having some building work done outside his house right now 🤣
Love it. Beautiful.
Spectacular vocal. Trini Lopez, you legend💗💗💙
I was 14 when the sun came out, I did not know that Tony Lopez died rest in peace you will be remembered
Tony Lopez. I love it!
Rest In Peace Trini Lopez. I first heard that song when I was eight. I love that song If I had a 🔨! Trini Lopez music will never be forgotten. Rest In Peace
I'm seventy heard this from day one love and respect from Coventry England x
Bravo Trini!!!! so long ago and we are STILL needing to achieve even a smidgen of these glorious attributes
One of my favorite songs, Rest in piece Trini !! Thanks for all of the great music !
Rip Trini, we lost another one of the greats.
Que coincidência, acabei de ouvir a Rita Pavone cantando a mesma música!
I must have listened to this at least 1000 times as a child. Was fascinated with this song.
I'm warming to this version of "If I had a Hammer".
Well, you have had 55 years ...
@@mickigoe LOL! Yeah, I love the Peter, Paul, & Mary version, but he wrote it and it just is special.
@@jeanettesmith765 The song was written by Peter Seeger in 1949, but his songs are better known in cover versions like "Turn, turn, turn!" by the Byrds. His song "Where have all the flowers gone" is even better in the German version "Sag mir wo die Blumen sind" by Marlene Dietrich. Even Seeger himself thought that the German version was superior.
Michael de Werd and now he is gone because of COVID. I’m 45 and I heard this song only a couple times in my life. Just had to come here to listen to it.
One of the first ' pop' songs I remember ✌️
What a good/good voice.
The best song of 1963.
brutal good music! I like forever!!!Super!!
This song remind me about my father.
Still listening this memorable music. Thanks.
We used to sing this at school. I didn’t realise it was this kind of jam!
I dedicate this song to all my fellow Americans, Left or Right, Liberal or Conservative, but not Commies.
We "reds" are the future!!
The Communists already have a hammer.
The song was wriiten by someone designated a communist by the House of Un-American Activities Committee and was blacklisted.
Song of the day... LOL
RIP💐Trini López I was a little girl in kindergarten and I remember his music dancing with my cousins very nice memories💖 Since Covid 19, we got through like a the third world war’s conspiracy 👎👎😱
I was a toddler 😊 when this song came out. Times Fly 🤗🤗
I didn't understand at the time that this was a Civil rights anthem. It was just a fun song to me and still is. Every time it comes on it makes me smile and start moving and for an old timer that's saying something
Rest in peace . let us honour him with doing the things that are right : It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom, yeah
It's the song about the love between my brothers and my sisters
All, all over this land
When artists dressed nicely for performances !
Hell of a nice guitar!
Primary school teachers with rainbow guitar straps love this song
He had such a beautiful voice! This song is such a classic for civil rights! He did a good job!! RIP Trini Lopez you will be missed!
I rember how my English teacher played this song on a CD player in class it was amazing I never forget how it was to understand a whole new league bit by bit😗
