They were a great group with beautiful songs, but I felt underrated! I wonder how many members of The Sandpipers Group are still living and I doubt if there will ever be a reunion of this great group. I was about 12 or 13 when this song was a hit and just two years short of graduation from Catholic Grammar School. What memories this song brings back for me of more innocent times! And what a beautiful name for a group that recorded such beautiful songs!😀😄
Michael Hughes - The Sandpipers were considered an "easy listening" trio, and sadly two of the three originals have passed on within the last few years. 😞
WOW!!! I haven't heard this song in years. But I remember when I was about 8 years old, I used to hear this song a lot on radio and television. This is a great song. Too bad they don't make songs like this anymore :( This is an AMAZING song!
On this day in 1970 {February 7th} the Sandpipers performed "Come Saturday Morning" on the late Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand'... Two months earlier on December 20th, 1969 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #17 and spent 20 weeks on the Top 100... The song was featured in the movie 'The Sterile Cuckoo' and was nominated for the Academy Award for 'Best Original Song' {the winner was "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head"}... R.I.P. Mr. Clark {1929 - 2012}...
This is one of my all-time favorite songs. I've never seen "The Sterile "Cuckoo" but I sure love the theme song! It really makes me nostalgic for the good old days and makes me love Saturday mornings! Thanks for posting the song and the video.
When I was in first grade in 1971, the school chorus group sang this at an assembly in the gymnatorium. I loved it then and now, and hearing it always brings back that time in my life.
My girlfriend and I used to go to Redondo Beach on Saturdays. We would get milkshakes on the pier and walk on the beach for hours. Not a care in the world at 19.
I remember back in the sixties, when I was 8 or 10, watched on tv a video of this song but in a park, not the beach, and got hooked tremendously with the connection between a nice Satuday morning and this song. I could not find it; does someone remember it? Every Saturday morning I have enjoyed reminds me this song with a severe nostalgia.
How I remember for 9 months out of the year, while in school, I just couldn’t wait for Saturday to come and it started with Saturday Morning. Stay safe
Why do you believe that? I have been listening to this song for as long as I can remember. I never found anything liberal, conservative, gay or strait about it. It is just a beautiful, well done song.
See video description above...what you are describing sounds like when they played this song at the end of the movie! The girl (Liza Minelli) and her boyfriend were walking away from a college campus to a bus stop. It looked a lot like a park, if you were around 10!! The video is on YT...search 'The Sterile Cuckoo part 9/9'.
If you haven't seen the movie: "The Sterile Cuckoo" ('69), by all means watch it. Preferably with somebody you love! It's an unforgettable romance. :-)
I don't think that's what was meant by Dory Previn when she wrote the lyrics. The movie for which it got a best song nomination ('Sterile Cuckoo') was about a short-lived love affair between two (hetero) college freshmen. I think the song was used simply to reflect that theme. Also interesting is Liza Minelli's version...she throws in some lyrics of her own! It's here on YT, check it out :)
Rik Wilder No, it's not at all. Perhaps because it was the theme to a Liza Minnelli Film and she's a gay icon? Or the soft vocal delivery from a male singing group? Nothing at all about "Gay Lib" going on here at all, though. I assure you.

This is the song that set me on a course to seek a career in music which I enjoy today!!!!

So...have you gotten around to watching The Sterile Cuckoo yet?

One of the best pop songs ever. Great movie, too.
What a beautiful song !

This song is the most beautiful song I have ever heard! I remember hearing it in the early 1970's as a small child. Heard it on Sirius radio 2/8/23

A wonderful song. - John
How I miss those days.
those were the days my friend-we thought they'd never end ( Mary Hopkins-1968)

What a great song from yesterday when I was young.
i remember when it was like this on saturdays.

Bartles AndJames I agree with you.

Groovy.

You could almost mistake them for the Association.
You're right, Bruce. They had a very similar sound, and just as pleasant. Maybe you could call there sound "Soft Rock."
リザ・ミネリさん主演の映画、
メロディ・ーコーラスが哀愁があって良いのですよねー！
Saturday Morning, yes!!
WOW!!!❤❤❤😊
@tigerlilly66 It's a good movie. Quite different and I really don't know what category it would fall in but its well worth watching.
0:34 That should be "Just ME and my friend"...
I always took this to be a very thinly disguised early gay lib song. Was I the only one? Does anyone know?
Rik Wilder No, it's not at all. Perhaps because it was the theme to a Liza Minnelli Film and she's a gay icon? Or the soft vocal delivery from a male singing group? Nothing at all about "Gay Lib" going on here at all, though. I assure you.
How the hell do you get "gay" from this song? Just a nice piece of mellow music.
