My big brother loved this song, he use to let me sit in his room and listen with him. He died at 15 year's old. I cry every time I haven't heard this song in awhile. RIP Ray 🙏
Detinha você ,me deu um pé na banda, eu muito apaixonado, você nem aí,fiquei quase uma semana sem comer , triste chorando!?!então despertei pra vida toda vivo e forte. Nada de tristeza ❤
For those of us born in the 50's and grew up in the 60's and 70's we now see how blessed and fortunate we were to have grown up with this INCREDIBLE music. I know there are MANY young people out there that would rather listen to the music we grew up on than the music they had growing up. When the music is that good it truly IS timeless and is for all generations to enjoy.
I grew up listening to these guys! Never gets old! Now I have stage 4 lung cancer and it’s everywhere but we all live till we die! No regrets, music rules!
@@thisismagacountry1318 Amen! Life was a blessing from day one because we grew up in the best frickin time ever!!!!! 65 and kickin butt baby! ;) lol :)
I'm 74 and still killin it! We had the best of everything in our generation. Best music, best art, best clothes best dancing. The '60s were an unbelievable and glorious time especially if you lived in San Francisco which I did thank God!!
@@sunshinenbluesallday1920 You can not imagine what this world really is. What crimson and clover really is. They put tid bits in these songs to tell you. Like the Riddler and the joker.
I was blind as a child and didn't know what crimson was.. At 17, I got my sight and saw this beautiful girl and I began crying because I had never known what a girl looked like ... This song was playing when I saw her.. Every time I hear it, she appears in my mind...
That is such an incredible story, I feel like most people never take into account just how much excitement and desire we derive from sight. I NEVER have thought about what its like to not know what a girl or guy looks like and never experiencing that crazy young love. Thanks for sharing! That insight along with this soundtrack just changed my life, im inspired!
When I hear this song, I'm living in the 60s. It was a great era all round. I was born in 1961, but remember the music, fashion & episodes on tv of that era. It was a great time to be alive, young & carefree. Those were my happiest memories of all. Who else feels like that?❤❤❤🎉
When my daughter was born this was the first song on the radio when I got in the car to drive home from the hospital. It was also the father daughter dance at her wedding.
This was playing on an 8 track in my wedding night room. 43 years we listened to this song every anniversary. I miss him and I still play it on our anniversary date 🌹
I’m 42 and getting married for the first time on Labor Day, it was one of the first songs to hit me when I fell In love with my soon to be wife. I fully plan to use it in a similar fashion. I am sorry for your loss.
First, I want to add my condolences. I have a lot of memories, which even though they hurt, bring me joy in that I have them. Second, I have to say, I love your profile pic!
My mother loved this song i remember her blasting this on the big stereo R.i.p. mom every time i hear this song now my eyes start to water thanks for teaching me what good music is
My grandmother loved this song so much she named my dad after it and he loved it so much he passed the name on to me and I love it so much there's gonna be a crimston III. My grandma isn't the best speller lol
Gareth Collocot thank you, thank you thank you this is the exact point i tried to make to a group of 20smtngs recently these were musicians these were lyricists these were arrangers they never hid behind electronic gadgets, computerized music scores along every imaginable tech machines available now and is being used as an integral part of wat passes today as music so thank you once again for yr observation.
@@jeffreyramsey4538 all musicians hide behind electric gadgets. Including guitarists,. Bassists, keyboardists, and even in this song you hear hear the vocal compression and effects it's ELECTRONIC! You're slow and probably scared of change and evolution. This is the new age. Learn how to evolve instead of being stuck I'm your own ways that were created years and years ago that are no longer relevant lmfao
@@zackdunn5315Really? Stuck in my own time? Wat a stupid assertion to make so then those who are deeply and exclusively into Bach,Hayden,Mozart,Handel, Tellemann etc are also stuck in time? Wat an assinine comment to make its as if History is irrelevant to the present and future, newsflash without the past there is no present without which there is no future and as for yr senseless comments about all musicians hide behind and i am paraphrasing here electronic gadgets thats one load of bull ppl like you feel thar u know everything abt everything wen in fact u know squat the music and musicians of the 70s were purists they wrote composed, played, sang, arranged they HAD SOMETHING CALLED TALENT AND ITS WHY LOTS OF THEM ARE STILL OUT THERE TODAY PERFORMING AND IF U HV ANY DOUBT JUST GO LISTEN TO DAVID GILMOUR'S GUITAR SOLOS ON PINK FLOYD'S ALBUMS OR LIVE PERFORMANCES OR THE GROUP ITSELF OR SHOW ME A SONG IN THE HISTORY OF POP MUSIC THAT HAS BEEN RE RECORDED MORE THAN YESTERDAY BY THE BEATLES SO KEEP YR DAM SARCASM TO YOURSELF
@zackdunn5315…So Zach, you young whippersnapper, you actually believe bands like this one and say The Beatles are irrelevant in 2023?? You have much to learn young grasshopper. Yet learn and grow you will
You had to LIVE THIS ERA TO TRULY COMPREHEND HOW AWESOME TRUE MUSIC WAS. IT WILL NEVER BE SEEN OR HEARD AGAIN. THOSE WHO EXPERIENCED IT WILL UNDERSTAND
You can experience this music no matter when you were born. The group of morons that happened to be born at this time has voted for the same closed-minded dipshits who bankrupted this country so I am not surprised at all by the general attitude. It won't be too soon for your generation to die off.
I truly fell sorry for the ones that did not were in their teens in the 60s or early 70s. NOTHING can match the music that came out during those years……long live Rock & Roll
Kenny Hooberry yeah the music is shit...this is some fine music. I might be a retired Marine...Kosovo 1999, Iraq 2003-2008, Syria 2008 for 3 months, Afghanistan 2011-2014. I played so many songs of your era..... Much better than this shit out these days. There’s fucknuckle rap singing about twatwaffles and ham..!! I’m currently in Vung Tau, Vietnam. I’ve been all over this country. Every 30 April, there’s more American flags in Saigon than at a veteran day parade in the US...! I will make a video.... Check out the ones I have now....it’s a changed country. I’ve been to 56 countries in my career. I share this music everywhere I go. After being blown up I listened to The Doors-The End.....it’s been my favorite song since 1982. Then it’s this one and a few more. Semper Peace out
If you were in a garage band, you were cool WHEREVER you were. The guy one street over had a band, and when we heard them warming up, we headed straight over to his place. By the time they started playing, the driveway was full of kids. Not too many opportunities in 60's small town Oklahoma to hear live music--rock and roll, anyway. The band styled themselves the "Psychedelic Reaction," lol. RIP John Shafer.
I'm turned 39 yesterday but I really think I should have been born a lot earlier, I would have loved to have grown up with these kind of artists around me.
I have a feeling being born in the 50's or 60's would have been the greatest time to grow up. At least that's the impression I get from those that were.
The year was 1968. I was 11 years old. My family moved from Seattle to a new home closer to the Boeing Auburn plant. My first 5 years of schooling was spent being taught by nuns at a Catholic school. My new school was a public school where the teacher would play AM radio in the background during study time. This song came on the radio almost every day for weeks. I absolutely fell in love with this song. The whole experience was a radical departure from my time at Catholic school.
iiiii started at Holy Family in 69! The difference for me was Vatican II. We had nuns with guitars singing songs about love and tolerance. U might've been waaayyyyyy older than me (jk🤭) but, I bet I went to mass with u every morning! Keep EnJoYing Tommy James! ✌💙😇
Oh the memories I have of this song! I'm 65 now and when I hear this music - I'm living it again, it's just like yesterday. Thank you for this amazing music 💙
my friend who passed years ago sang this in our 3rd grade talent show....I asked my mom if she remembers that, she's 80 now and she smiles and says yes..
My dog Stella gets incredibly emotional when this song plays I have no idea why. She's indifferent to all other music, but this song sends her into the saddest low howl singing along, full on chin quivering and those deep breaths like when you've been crying for hours and your chest hurts. It is absolutely gut wrenching like she's missing someone. I have to turn it off if it comes on. One of my favorites but it clearly hits differently for her.
Sorry, your dog has an emotional breakdown when faced with this song? Lmfao please tell me you're exaggerating. I'm not trying to be mean I just want to know whether this is actual.
Previous life. But man, bad karma coming back as a dog according to the Krishna’s. But I don’t believe that crap. Just the reincarnation crap. Fun fact I had a Stella. Smart, crafty jack Russell
I grew up in the 80’s with some awesome music, but I so appreciate the 60’s and 70’s for making the 80’s possible!! Joan Jett and the black hearts did an amazing cover of this song in 81!!
"Crimson and Clover" entered the U.S. charts on December 14, 1968 where it stayed for 16 weeks on Billboard Hot 100 and 15 weeks on Cash Box Top 100. Following a performance of the song on The Ed Sullivan Show on January 26, it became number one on February 1, 1969, a position held for one week on Cash Box Top 100 and two weeks on both Billboard Hot 100 and Record World 100 Top Pops. Internationally, the song reached number one in Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, and Switzerland. It also charted in Austria, Brazil, France, Holland, Italy, Israel, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, and Puerto Rico. Despite this, the song did not chart in the United Kingdom. Wikipedia
Im 66 and this was one of so many songs that I loved in the 70s Todays music will never match what we listen to then Songs had a meaning to it and you understood what the song was all about I could listen to the 70s music all day and never get board
You could exclude the part about ur generation and trust me; people will actually like your opinion... In all history of music there has always been young folks blasting .... Fuckin' Bach!.. Although; if you feel like it.. say whatever tf u want... It's your 1st amendment... God bless America
Vandal King this guy was a song writing genius and wrote hit after hit after hit and the Italian mafia took his money for years per contract! It’s good you’re so young and recognize special music. That makes you VERY special. Don’t give up on the search! Kudos to you!
I remember this song, waiting in my older sister’s 67 Mustang while she was shopping. It was winter of 1968 in Kalamazoo, MI. I turned up the AM radio so loud and when she came back to the car, she said “Cool”.
Perhaps the best rock single of all time. My lil Sis and I were under ten yrs old when it came out but we wore the 45 out singing along to it, singing directly into a square box fan on the low setting to get the vibrato/tremolo effect at the end. We still laugh about this even now.
I first heard this song from my oldest sister collection. Grew up loving it and yes it brings back slot of memories.. I'm 60 yrs old and I still love listening to it...
I was born in 1959 and my older sister used to listen to a lot of music like this. She had this album so I got to listen to it as well as the other songs on it. Brings back a lot of memories from those days.
Even 51 years after hearing this song, it still moves me and puts me in a space just like hearing it for the first time, every time...This and These Eyes...
Iconic. Brilliant. Best of the creative 60's. Never ever get tired of listening to Tommy James. His voice has an amazing quality that draws you in. Music reflects the state of the world. Most modern music bores me to the degree that I either turn off the music or never even bother to listen anything. Crimson & Clover is one of the best 60's songs and one of the best produced songs ever. I loved it when I was a teen and always will.
A este gran grupo musical los escucho de cuando estaba e 2do año de secundaria por aquellos años. Hoy tengo 70 y aun los escucho gracias a los avances de la ciencia.
I'm 73 and about the only thing that still gives me goose bumps is hearing one of my songs I haven't heard in a while. That opening gets me every time.
This is when music was music it meant something it showed love and happiness every emotion in this gem of an era! Absolute greatness I was fortunate enough to have a father that showed me all about music from the 50's to the 90's even he showed me everything about life and I miss him every second of every day RIP daddy until we meet again I love you my hero
My parents always tuned to classic rock and golden oldies during car rides and I’d beg them to switch to current stations. They told me when I had a car I could play whatever I wanted 😂 Now I’m 40 and my kids get nothing but the best diverse play lists and they love it 💕
Uuff que épocas tan bellas fueron y son al escuchar estás Joyas de Melodías ,jamás pasaran de moda se quedaron para siempre , amo esta clase de canciones son de mi juventud y siguen siendo ahora que soy un RUCO ( viejo) pero con estos cantantes vuelvo a sentirme Joven . Saludos a todas las personas onestas de todo el mundo y en especial a los que les gusta lo mejor de lo mejor , 60,70, 80 s , bya bya ,desde AGS, Mex. 25,11,22.
35 currently, and this song has been a part of many chapters of my life. My favorite part is how much this song also means to my mom. It just makes it that much more special.
I remember the first time i heard this song on my father's jukebox as a child. i immediately fell in love with the song and learned to appreciate this type of music. I am 37 years old trying to pass these classic songs down to my children and keep them alive.
This music was used in over movies and more than 200 artists have recorded the songs of Tommy James. Millions of sales he went over platinum. Nothing underrated about this man. Quite amazing this group was and that Tommy is. No internet back in those days and his music spread like wildfire. Im 47 and would tell anyone this music puts today music, if you call it that, to shame!
There is something magical about this song. It’s like finding an old beloved toy in a flea market. I was playing this song for the girl across my hall in 2018. She ended up marrying me shortly after. She left me, and it’s been awful without her. We had 5 years together, and I need her now.
My big brother loved this song, he use to let me sit in his room and listen with him. He died at 15 year's old. I cry every time I haven't heard this song in awhile. RIP Ray 🙏

I’m so sorry for you and your family’s loss. 🙏🙏🙏

Great music never dies ❤
Concuerdo contigo , también tengo 26 años y me encanta la música de antes era excelente en todo el sentido. Saludos desde Ecuador✨️
My mom would play her 45 record of this when I was younger and we would dance and sing to it and it was so much fun. I love this song.
LOL My parents also had the 45. Got flooded in the basement and it still plays!
@@jameslippincottI loved playing a game of pool to this song in the pool hall.
Yes totally magical there was so many music shows on in those days look em upp !
My boyfriend and I slow dance in the living room together on Saturday nights. This is one of our favourites.❤ He turns me into mush.💞
I grew up in the 60's & I loved this music. I still listen to it when we're outside sitting by a campfire. It always brings back memories ❤❤
You were very lucky. I grew up in the 90s, music was not that bad, but nothing compared to this.
I bet the fire rises higher when you're listening
Nirvana continued the tradition of great 🇺🇸 bands until hole had him murdered
campfire.
? he looks intensely high 😂❤what kind of campfire us that .?
Still enjoy this classic piece of music,the best songs back in the day
I'm in my 70's now but gosh I sure loved this song back in my younger days. And I still enjoy hearing it now. UA-cam is so great a music time machine.
I am a 70 year old Vietnam combat vet and can’t believe we went from the best music ever to the shit they put out today ☮️ 🇺🇸
I for one salute you Sir. For Your fine bravery. Serving your country.
All soldiers. Foreign and domestic.
We love and appreciate you.🇱🇷

The 'good' music era ended around the mid 80s.
Most of the music since then is terrible.
Sad. Very sad.
Kenny Hooberry yeah the music is shit...this is some fine music. I might be a retired Marine...Kosovo 1999, Iraq 2003-2008, Syria 2008 for 3 months, Afghanistan 2011-2014.
I played so many songs of your era.....
Much better than this shit out these days.
There’s fucknuckle rap singing about twatwaffles and ham..!!
I’m currently in Vung Tau, Vietnam. I’ve been all over this country.
Every 30 April, there’s more American flags in Saigon than at a veteran day parade in the US...!
I will make a video....
Check out the ones I have now....it’s a changed country.
I’ve been to 56 countries in my career. I share this music everywhere I go.
After being blown up I listened to The Doors-The End.....it’s been my favorite song since 1982. Then it’s this one and a few more.

Yep, my son said Dad your generation knew how to make music. Yes, they did son.
Played this in a garage band in the 60's. 6 kids with electric instruments and my set of drums. We were the coolest thing in the whole garage.
If you were in a garage band, you were cool WHEREVER you were.

iiiii started at Holy Family in 69! The difference for me was Vatican II. We had nuns with guitars singing songs about love and tolerance. U might've been waaayyyyyy older than me (jk🤭) but, I bet I went to mass with u every morning! Keep EnJoYing Tommy James! ✌💙😇
1957 was a great year we were born😅 by the way i was born in Longview
Any departure from Catholic school is a good one! I went from K to 8. No science or math! Thanks for nothing!
'68, first boy girl party and dancing slow with my first love..
Oh the memories I have of this song! I'm 65 now and when I hear this music - I'm living it again, it's just like yesterday. Thank you for this amazing music 💙
Hi gorgeous how are you doing today??
Oh yes, this song, matchstick men and others. I'm 66. we used to listen to this on the radio (radio was big in the 60's). Be good, be safe.
Same age here and this is still one of my favorites. Amazing how the songs can take you back and feel the emotions of the time then.
Me too!!
Sí que está hermosa. Yo nunca había escuchado este tema, pero me acaba de conquistar. Qué belleza de música. Y con ese intérprete.
My parents loved this, mom on that big living room stereo and Dad on the Nova SS 8-track. Soundtrack of my childhood...
my friend who passed years ago sang this in our 3rd grade talent show....I asked my mom if she remembers that, she's 80 now and she smiles and says yes..
So sorry for your friend!! 💙🏴
My dog Stella gets incredibly emotional when this song plays I have no idea why. She's indifferent to all other music, but this song sends her into the saddest low howl singing along, full on chin quivering and those deep breaths like when you've been crying for hours and your chest hurts. It is absolutely gut wrenching like she's missing someone. I have to turn it off if it comes on. One of my favorites but it clearly hits differently for her.
Sorry, your dog has an emotional breakdown when faced with this song? Lmfao please tell me you're exaggerating. I'm not trying to be mean I just want to know whether this is actual.
KATIE was a mute and me her support worker.....she loved my INDIAN SONG
Previous life. But man, bad karma coming back as a dog according to the Krishna’s. But I don’t believe that crap. Just the reincarnation crap. Fun fact I had a Stella. Smart, crafty jack Russell
'even the dogs feed of the crumbs of there master'
Have you tried rubbing her belly? that sometimes works for me.
Nossa tenho 67 anos e desde jovem nunca deixei de ouvir essa música, inclusive está no meu pendrive.
I grew up in the 80’s with some awesome music, but I so appreciate the 60’s and 70’s for making the 80’s possible!! Joan Jett and the black hearts did an amazing cover of this song in 81!!
Ya cool
This has literally been my favorite song my whole life!!! It’s April 2024 and here I am. 🍀☘️
And I am! 👍🏴
may 2024......immortal song
🇺🇸💚
Me too my friend, I had a hypnotic episode as a child on a road trip while this song played. I think it was the closest I ever came to nirvana.
Mine to I loved it when I first heard it I was 9 years old I’m now 54 and I’m glad for utube do I can hear it again
"Crimson and Clover" entered the U.S. charts on December 14, 1968 where it stayed for 16 weeks on Billboard Hot 100 and 15 weeks on Cash Box Top 100. Following a performance of the song on The Ed Sullivan Show on January 26, it became number one on February 1, 1969, a position held for one week on Cash Box Top 100 and two weeks on both Billboard Hot 100 and Record World 100 Top Pops. Internationally, the song reached number one in Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, and Switzerland. It also charted in Austria, Brazil, France, Holland, Italy, Israel, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, and Puerto Rico. Despite this, the song did not chart in the United Kingdom.

What is wrong with you Brits ? This song didn’t chart in the UK. 🫢
Wow,you can copy and paste
@@notnek202 I was a bit young,but yeah my fellow Brit's what the heck..
@@gscott2299 if it’s so easy why didn’t you do it?
Im 66 and this was one of so many songs that I loved in the 70s Todays music will never match what we listen to then Songs had a meaning to it and you understood what the song was all about I could listen to the 70s music all day and never get board
I am from a younger generation, but WOW !! What a heavenly CLASSIC !!
You could exclude the part about ur generation and trust me; people will actually like your opinion...
In all history of music there has always been young folks blasting .... Fuckin' Bach!..
Although; if you feel like it.. say whatever tf u want... It's your 1st amendment... God bless America
I’m originally from Niles,MI. My grandpa was good friends with Tommy and would take him skiing. RIP grandpa 1946-2024 💔😭
Wow, small world. Your grandpa had great taste in music. 🙏
Detroit area right here!!! I'm in Belleville MI about 40 miles west of Detroit
Oh as far away as possible from Detroit n the 🌚🗑
I am 16 years old and I mostly like 60's and 70s music. This modern music really can't get close in any way to these oldies and goldies.
You have excellent taste in music!
@@debbygordon1432 thanks😁
Vandal King this guy was a song writing genius and wrote hit after hit after hit and the Italian mafia took his money for years per contract! It’s good you’re so young and recognize special music. That makes you VERY special. Don’t give up on the search! Kudos to you!
@@tabbysmithfield3794 thank you! If I am not wrong, he wrote "Mony Mony", The song Billy Idol covered.
Vandal King you are correct.
I remember this song, waiting in my older sister’s 67 Mustang while she was shopping. It was winter of 1968 in Kalamazoo, MI. I turned up the AM radio so loud and when she came back to the car, she said “Cool”.
This song is as unique and bizarr as no other song I have ever heard (and there are myriads of songs). It is a timeless masterpiece.
Saw them in 1969 at the Atlanta speedway. At 74 years old., This is still one of my favorites.
damn ur old
james w. ponder Awesome! I’m in Georgia too.
Well I am 59 and this to me 1 for the Top songs of all times
Love ur mucik beter than todays crap
Tommy James is a true musical legend. Had so many great songs with The Shondells and later as a solo artist.
I'm 71 now I simply love this music ❤❤❤❤
I would only dance with one boy at our school dance every Friday night 😅
Tommy James… What a diverse, talented and amazing part of our lives. Thank you my friend.
81 y/o and still loving this music
41 y/o and needed to hear it today. Good music....stands the test of time. Have a great day.
My mom just passed at 80 , Oh how I remember this song on the radio at 5, I miss this era .
Mom❤@@dollface6845
34 years old and missed all the good music 😢
Good music and good taste will never be out of style - no matter how old you are! Have a good time and greetinngs from Switzerland!
I was 2 feet away from them playing this song at a Humphrey rally at the Allegheny County Airport near Pittsburgh. Awesome!
Perhaps the best rock single of all time. My lil Sis and I were under ten yrs old when it came out but we wore the 45 out singing along to it, singing directly into a square box fan on the low setting to get the vibrato/tremolo effect at the end. We still laugh about this even now.
🤣⚰️
Love this song ❤
I was born in 58 everything was beautiful back then would give anything to go back 🙏❤️
Same. I used to roller skate to this song. I was so happy …….
i was born in 57 this song takes back to a much better time
Yes, this i can call music. I was also born in 1957. It was the real life, not just survival like today.
Same! I was born in 56 and really miss living not surviving
@@debi234 yes debi we were living and loving it oh what a time it was
I first heard this song from my oldest sister collection.
Grew up loving it and yes it brings back slot of memories..
I'm 60 yrs old and I still love listening to it...
I was born in 1959 and my older sister used to listen to a lot of music like this. She had this album so I got to listen to it as well as the other songs on it. Brings back a lot of memories from those days.
Not fair. ☹️
This is easily their best song- arguably one of the best of the 60's.
Even 51 years after hearing this song, it still moves me and puts me in a space just like hearing it for the first time, every time...This and These Eyes...
@@tlgtlg3803 LOL a fucking Limp Pencil Dick Troll...
Yep takes me back when times were the best
It's just magnificent. ☺
The vibrato effect at (2:29) is what always gets me.
@@rokyericksonroks Same here,yes.Great music all gone a real shame now only crap.
I don't care I was born 1974, this song and band are awesome!!!
1952
You're have a great taste for music!! 👍🏴
Why are these guys NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
We used to dance to this song at junior high sock hops. Nobody knew if it was a slow dance or a fast dance!!!! It’s still MAGIC!
This song brings back such a sweet, innocent time of my life. My first love.
The pride of Dayton Ohio! We love you, Tommy!!!!
He grew up in Niles, Michigan
Tommy James was a hit machine. Such a prolific, influential musician
Him and Richie Cordell
Speachless, such a masterpiece.
14 Jahre alt und total verliebt❤❤❤die erste Liebe nach 4 Jahren tödlich verunglückt ich liebe ihn heute noch, Heinz mein Schatz ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So sorry for your loss! 👍💙🏴
Tommy James. A completely underated legend
Iconic. Brilliant. Best of the creative 60's. Never ever get tired of listening to Tommy James. His voice has an amazing quality that draws you in.
Music reflects the state of the world. Most modern music bores me to the degree that I either turn off the music or never even bother to listen anything. Crimson & Clover is one of the best 60's songs and one of the best produced songs ever. I loved it when I was a teen and always will.
We don't search for old songs...
we search for old memories
Truth
so true--- not looking for-remakes-
but Joan was great
@@nancycordero8566 put another dime in the jukebox.
As we baby boomers get older the memories now evoke a melancholy, because they are in stark contrast to the memories we make today.
A este gran grupo musical los escucho de cuando estaba e 2do año de secundaria por aquellos años. Hoy tengo 70 y aun los escucho gracias a los avances de la ciencia.
could listen to this "over and over"
I see what you did there. 😊
fourleafcajun sweet so sweet love this song
And we have...and will. Classics live on
fourleafcajun Forever over and over !
!
My favorite song when I was 8 yrs old. Still one of my favorites today.
*Música imortalizada, pois é da década de 60',simplesmente incrível!!!* 😊
I'm 73 and about the only thing that still gives me goose bumps is hearing one of my songs I haven't heard in a while. That opening gets me every time.
So underrated. Love the song and love the groovy clothes and hair of this time. Tommy James is legend
Times when music was from the heart so many of them ,we were lucky to have this kind of music
Exactly right
One of my all time favorites! Thank u for the memories
Great song and so unique. Am 79 and had never heard it until a year or so ago. A lot of good cover versions too
I repeated over and over never get tired of hearing this beautiful melody
I am a huge rocker and metalhead( born in 64) but still love this music, follow in my momma's footsteps loving all music. Rest her soul.
My dad was named after this song his name is crimston due to a typo and I'm crimston Jr. 2 generations of typos and 3 generations of tommy james fans
Lol, wonderful
😂
Crimston and Jr
Over and over
SO KOOL👍🏻👍🏻
Guys I have a brother that passed away at 12 and I and him layed in his room listening to this and I cryy every time I hear this 😢😢😢😢😢
A defining song of my childhood, now 73. Thank you for this beauty.
Eu sou dos anos cinquenta e nunca deixei de ouvir essa musica e lindíssima.eu fui abençoado por ter nascido numa época tão especial.
This guy was good. Still is.
This is when music was music it meant something it showed love and happiness every emotion in this gem of an era! Absolute greatness I was fortunate enough to have a father that showed me all about music from the 50's to the 90's even he showed me everything about life and I miss him every second of every day RIP daddy until we meet again I love you my hero
What a nice tribute to Dad. You're a good man, Danny.

Im here because of a bit in family guy
My parents always tuned to classic rock and golden oldies during car rides and I’d beg them to switch to current stations. They told me when I had a car I could play whatever I wanted 😂
Now I’m 40 and my kids get nothing but the best diverse play lists and they love it 💕
Eu,nascida na década de 80,cresci ouvindo essa pérola,que delícia de música!
Um amor,um vinho e essa música,o date perfeito❤❤
So me falta um amor.
Hola
This group were genius! They were definitely ahead of the time!
Uuff que épocas tan bellas fueron y son al escuchar estás Joyas de Melodías ,jamás pasaran de moda se quedaron para siempre , amo esta clase de canciones son de mi juventud y siguen siendo ahora que soy un RUCO ( viejo) pero con estos cantantes vuelvo a sentirme Joven . Saludos a todas las personas onestas de todo el mundo y en especial a los que les gusta lo mejor de lo mejor , 60,70, 80 s , bya bya ,desde AGS, Mex. 25,11,22.
35 currently, and this song has been a part of many chapters of my life. My favorite part is how much this song also means to my mom. It just makes it that much more special.
Época que tínhamos música de verdade.
I remember the first time i heard this song on my father's jukebox as a child. i immediately fell in love with the song and learned to appreciate this type of music. I am 37 years old trying to pass these classic songs down to my children and keep them alive.
It was March 1968. I heard this song when I left school on the radio. Unforgettable!!! Wonderful!!!
20 years before mtv. Imagine that
Remember I was still in school,1968 and enjoyed this truly classic piece of music
This music was used in over movies and more than 200 artists have recorded the songs of Tommy James. Millions of sales he went over platinum. Nothing underrated about this man. Quite amazing this group was and that Tommy is. No internet back in those days and his music spread like wildfire. Im 47 and would tell anyone this music puts today music, if you call it that, to shame!
Moving to my 49’s. 80’s & 90’s baby. This song has foever been on my playlist. Especially when getting effed up 😘
My mom loved all these songs ❤️ RIP mom , I love you forever
This gorgeous song screams out psychedelics!
There is something magical about this song. It’s like finding an old beloved toy in a flea market. I was playing this song for the girl across my hall in 2018. She ended up marrying me shortly after. She left me, and it’s been awful without her. We had 5 years together, and I need her now.
I know the feeling of lost and like harry style said you know it's not the same as it was
@@astrickland3120Thanks, and you are spot on. I just discovered that Harry Style song 4 days ago. I broke down, listening to it.
Heard this song when I was in highschool loved it also very happy that you got your eye sight back ✌️
Tengo 70 y esta cancion es unas de mis favoritas aunque me duela el corazón de dolor por la muerte de mi hijo. adorado le encantaba
