- "My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone)" was co-written by bandmembers Brian MacLeod and Bill Henderson, it was released on the band's 1981 album Wanna Be a Star.
In Canada, the song spent four weeks at number 3 and in the United States, it reached number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Guitarist Brian MacLeod invited singer Bill Henderson onto his boat to sail around the coast of British Columbia, fish, and write songs. MacLeod was playing some chord changes on a Fender Rhodes keyboard and singing the melody "down down down down down d-down". He thought it was a bad idea, "like the Beach Boys, but with a lot of weird chord changes going on." Henderson saw potential, and decided the words were "Gone gone gone she's been gone so long, she's been gone gone gone so long." From there, MacLeod came up with chords for verses and chorus, and Henderson came up with the melody and made up a story around a girl being gone so long. The song was written in a day, the demo was recorded on Henderson's 4-track cassette studio recorder, and he added the bridge and a cappella that night.
In the studio, the band was under contract with Mushroom Records, whose owner died, and in the asset-selling confusion that followed, the label wouldn't let Chilliwack record. Under a pseudonym, they snuck into the studio and recorded anyway, then shopped "My Girl" and other songs around. This got them a deal with Millennium Records in New York, breaking them into the mainstream after eleven years.
Brian MacLeod pressed his face so close to the microphone to sing the intro that he would saturate it with moisture, the microphone would cut out, and they would have to stop every five words or so to wait for it to dry.
In their native Canada, writers MacLeod and Henderson were nominated for the Juno Award for 1982 Composer of the Year, as well as Single of the Year for "My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone)". In January 2019, the song became certified Platinum (in excess of 100,000 copies sold) as a single in Canada.
One of the best songs 🎵 of its time. I miss music 🎶 like that
This song is beautiful band filled with love in the message.. long live Chilliwack
They milk everyone ounce of everything out of this little song and that elevates it to a ridiculous extreme. Definitely under-rated talent right there.
I was 5 years old, it was my first concert I never forgot!!
I remember singing this song to myself after a break up with a boyfriend years ago. He's been gone-gone-gone so long! My Boy! My boy! Such a good song! It was fun hearing it again.
THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!! MTV from the beginning Just I was about to start High School WHAT AN AWESOME 4 years of MUSIC

Awesome! Love the upscaling to these Chilliwack videos!
Thanks! It's not perfect as I'm limited in the source material but I appreciate the kind words!
One of the first videos I saw on MTV - something fascinated me about it. Good tune.
Grande resolução de imagem essa a melhor que vi até agora, lembrando os meus anos 70 e 80 oh época boa de tantas músicas e bandas sensacionais ❤...
This is a great song 🎵
Aquí si te ganaste mi respeto y eterno agradecimiento, que gran trabajo rescatando una de las mejores bandas canadienses de los 70-80s, junto con Prism que te pongo a consideración. Gracias y abrazos desde 🇪🇨 🙏
❤
Brian "too loud" mcleod was a really dynamic guy with a ton of talent gone way too young from fuckin cancer.
Awesome job restoring all these classic video's, as I often post them on my music blog. Is there any way you can post the April Wine song "I Like To Rock" from the live Cedar Rapids concert with Jerry Mercer's amazing drum solo, as the only song clip from that concert edited the drum solo out. It may not be possible with Unidisc in control of their videos I do believe.
I can try - do you have a link to the source video?
@@CrosscutFilmsSask ua-cam.com/video/YKr10utcD1k/v-deo.htmlsi=e0QKZUPVkuu_XKEc Not sure if this works, but its a 1982 concert in Cedar Rapids Iowa posted by mbet359 and I Like To Rock starts at 20:10 and ends at 30:15
They restored this song
@@jacobsable4543 Who's "they" lol
I think its there best ❤
🆒🆒🆒🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇💯💯💯💯💯
Should have been a bigger hit. I've always felt this band was sort of unjustly slighted.
That’s what happens when you call yourself CHILLIWACK.
A great vocal and band .
Front Street in Toronto!
DESDE CHILE , A CHILLIWACK SE LES RECUERDA CON MUCHO CARIÑO Y AÚN SE ESCUCHAN EN LAS RADIOS FM'S .
CHILLIWACK UNA BANDA QUE ESCUCHABA DESDE JOVEN , Y COMO OLVIDAR SUS OTROS EXITOS ... .
SALUDOS DESDE CHILE👍
@@utoobiathat's the real name of city in Canada, close to Vancouver, where the band's from.
Boo...why did they chop out the intended guitar solo..great song..don't you dare chop it up 👎😠
I chopped nothing. The video was produced for the single version of the song, made by the label.
