    After 60 years of vocals, Gary's voice came down a notch, but who cares, the man's a legend.

      Gary was so great back in his prime, that coming down a notch isn't a bad thing at all. Loved hearing this song again. When we had the band in grade school and high school, we played Young Girl and everyone just loved it. Not sure how great we were, but at least it went over big at our gigs.

      I met him and his brother in Phoenix Arizona. He was performing at the Golden Rock Show Lounge. They stayed at my motel where I worked for a week. They got me free tickets. Once with my future ex wife. Her reaction should have been a warning sign. Later I sang Young Girl in a karaoke bar on a cruise to Ensenada and made a friend for life. Great memories. I can't sing. But I try to sing along. Awesome voice. People don't understand these days.

      JTB I listened to the same station in the same years. Do you recall Dick Biondi? The crazy funny DJ that was on late nights. Omg such memories. The music. It was so so much better than now. Gary Puckett was my ultimate favorite. He still is. He's gorgeous and thing that makes me the happiest is that he's humble. Not arrogant and full of himself. His smile and dimples still bring me to me mush.

    Of all his hits, this one's my favorite. The song was so well written, and Gary delivers. He "felt" this song man. I saw him in 1986 on the Monkees, Grass Roots, Herman's Hermits tour featuring Gary. Like most people, I was there to see the Monkees, but nobody was shutting up enough during Gary's set. Everyone was itchy to see the Monkees, and Gary had the unfortunate spot of the night to follow the Grass Roots - who were sucking the life out of the arena, they were so bad. Gary had his job cut out for him, having to rev up the crowd again.

    Hi voice has obviously not retained its original power and tone, but I agree with others that in his prime, his was one of the greats and he deserves to be ranked with David Clayton-Thomas, the superb Jay Black, and a raft of other contemporaries - Charles, Garfunkel, Humperdink, Jones, Orbison, Campbell, Ben E. King, to name a few. I find it sad that once we leave the 60's and 70's, remarkable male voices seem to be few. Thankfully, their work is here to stay.

    Got to go into Ray's recording studio somewhere around 1973 and was blown out by the sound of his MCI and JBL equipment. Loved his "Misty." Saw Gary Puckett and the Union Gap in Jacksonville, Florida, and was blown away by the band and his voice. They wore those Union army uniforms in a southern city; at one point Gary took off his jacket to reveal a US flag shirt, and the entire place went wild.
