We lived out in the country and never saw our classmates during the summer. This song had a special meaning because you didn’t know if your 7th grade girlfriend would still your girlfriend wehen 8 th grade started.
I grew up with this music. I can't remember the last time I heard this or listened to it but today it just wouldn't get out of my head so I came here and listened to it. Love it
This song was recorded mid way through my senior year in high school. I loved this music then, and I still do. This reply is being made nine months after yours; I hope that you are well.
Am 77. Met Gary Lewis on the oldies Malt Shoppe Cruise in 2013 and he performed 2 concerts on the ship. Saw and talked to him everyday for 6 days. He became almost like a brother to me. Gary was so great to everyone on the ship. His concerts were fabulous and I’ve seen him once since. Fabulous individual. Paul from Toronto Canada
Written by Gary Geld and Peter Udell, the sane team that wrote Hurting Each Other and Sealed With a Kiss (big hit for Brian Hyland in 1962 and later recorded by Gary Lewis in 1968).
Yes..."Gary Lewis & The Playboy's" had many hits that, I enjoyed. This Diamond Ring.. Just My Style, Save Your Heart For Me, Green Grass, Sure Gonna Miss Her, My Hearts Sympathy, You Don't Have To Paint Me A Picture, Count Me In, I even enjoyed his voice impersonations on his song "Where Are All The Stars". I caught his act...in the 80's at "Lulu's" in Ontario. A Truly Nice Guy ..I still have my Photo With Him. Thanks 60's Music Lovers.
My favorite song. Will always remind me of my precious mom as she introduced me to all of the BEST music ever made from the beginning of my life and throughout! I will forever be grateful. I miss you and will see you again, Mom! ❤🥲
Yikes ..I was 13 when this came out, loved them! Still do, and so glad I can see and hear them online since I didn't own a record player back then to be able to buy records!
I first heard 'This Diamond ring" then "Green Grass" at my friends house his sister's had the singles. I Asked for Gary Lewis and The playboys album for Christmas and this song was on their Golden great album that I had gotten! :)
Many years ago I paid a visit to a Catholic church and there I heard two teenagers playing a great tune with their guitars. The melody was soooo beautiful that made me wonder what song it was. Thinking it would be presumptuous of me as a stranger to ask them about the song, I stayed around listening instead. As time went on I forgot that melody completely so there's no way I could find it anymore, what a shame. Then I've chanced on this Gary's song on YT and instantly all my memory about what I heard that day is back.
This song save your heart for me For the younger generation let me explain Ok Here I go During the 1950's into the 1960 college kids would go on summer break from last of May till middle of September for summer break Most highschool girls in states like California and Florida would never consider marriage until after college Why? Because they loved being free. Guys too Here in northwest Arkansas Girls often would get married at 16 But college kids had fun with going to the beach and summer parties They might get engaged Ok When they went home for summer break they might enjoy a fling or even look at a boy but never more than flirt Gary is singing save your heart for me When I see you in September we will still be sweet hearts In those colleges they had deans and older women who was mother's away from home Basically they behaved themselves It was common for young girls to wait till age 25 or older to marry Why Because when you get married you don't go out anymore Guys waited too The generation today is a little different Those days most girls never even went to college But where Gary Lewis lived they liked being free Gary is the son of Jerry Lewis and his mother was a good looking lady too Again it has to do with the summer time when college kids went home for summer break Save your heart for me Was a number one hit That song came out in 1964 For people over 70 years old this song was a way of life Look at how Gary is dressed and his band College was fun and you loved every moment being free Summer surf and beach parties Even in southern states college kids went 4 years of college They often got married the last year of college It was common to see marriage at 27 Save your heart for me
The word playboy refers to boys who played music and the guy with the accordion was a little older I never saw anyone play that accordion like he did Funny the accordion was famous in the 1950
What a great, great tune. I was away at camp during the summer of ‘65. This song was a huge hit that summer. What a great era. What a great band. True talent and Americana.
I saw a June 15, 1963 Billboard (posted online) and it was advertising Bryan Hyland's then-current single "I'm Afraid to Go Home," and this was the B-side.
Gary Lewis & The Playboys is one the most underrated groups from the 60s & this is my favourite song by them.. I've always been a fan and always will be. Great music and great memories!! Thanks Gary and the guys!! From Vancouver Canada ♥
GREAT SONG. In my mind he was America's best against the British Invasion which I'll always love. Nonetheless I love The Beach Boys and Gary Lewis and the Playboys. I hope you agree. I'm 70 years old. The first 45 I bought was "Hound Dog\Don't be cruel." A few years later I bought "Srawberry Fields\Penny Lane " I think these are best 45's ever. I hope someone agrees
I was 12 and away at overnight camp out on a 10 mile hike. I would sing this song to myself walking along the road. Never forgot it. I'm 70 now.
Gary Lewis and the Playboys brought great joy to my teenage days with their music. So lucky to have grown up in the 1950s and 60s (Born in 1950).
I was born in 1973 but grew up listening to the Oldies. This is when music was music. Oldies are the best!
And the 70's were not!
Thanks Gary & the Playboys for making our wonderful music of the 60s as teenagers. We will always love & remember! 1965 & 60s!
A wonderful time, and wonderful music that the Playboys gave us.
amen to that!
I do agree .......
We lived out in the country and never saw our classmates during the summer. This song had a special meaning because you didn’t know if your 7th grade girlfriend would still your girlfriend wehen 8 th grade started.
This is a hit that makes you remember your first crush.
Yes what sweet memories
Ya gotta love GARY AND THE PLAYBOYS
They were fantastic.
A great song from the 60s. A lot of good music from Gary Lewis.😊
They made growing up in the 60s a joy.
One of my favorite songs. I never get tired of listening to it.
Gary was always Classy..unlike so many stars back then..great group too!
I grew up with this music. I can't remember the last time I heard this or listened to it but today it just wouldn't get out of my head so I came here and listened to it. Love it
Me too woke today singing this song had to come to UA-cam to finding it.
This song was recorded mid way through my senior year in high school. I loved this music then, and I still do. This reply is being made nine months after yours; I hope that you are well.
It’s the first English song that l can sing. At that time l was 8 years old. I’m Thai ..from Thailand. 😀
@@tpkl8592 Very good. Thanks for sharing.

Saw them at the Steel Pier for my 13th birthday in 1965!
Steel pier memories for me were in 66 when The Supremes came. Was that the show that was hosted by Ed Hurst?
Great song! I'm sure many of the harder rock and roll fans would laugh but I genuinely like this song
Simple and soooooooooo Sweeeeet Music. They don't make songs like this anymore... Love it
Written by Gary Geld and Peter Udell, the sane team that wrote Hurting Each Other and Sealed With a Kiss (big hit for Brian Hyland in 1962 and later recorded by Gary Lewis in 1968).
This one brings back beautiful childhood memories i was so in love with Gary back in the day ❤❤
Absolutely. I was 9 when this came out in 1965. Beautiful time to be a innocent elementary school kid.
A hit to remember by Gary & the playboy's in 1965. Keep playing hits Gary your a great singer.
Many may not know it but this song was written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin.
loved this song when I was 9 years old and still do at 66!!
One of my favorite songs of the 60's
I saw Gary Lewis and Playboys perform in a little dive in 70's. Talked to him a good while when they took a break and were shooting pool.
この時代の洋楽で最も好きな曲の一曲です。いつもレコードで聴いていますが動画を観れて感激です。音源はレコードでしょうが構いません。因みに私は72才です。
One of the greatest songs of the 60's... and that's a real compliment considering the magnitude of talent of this decade.
He's Jerry Lewis's son. You should see them together
Gary lewis and the play boys
@@lazurm they are brill 🥰
A lot nicer than his dad must take after his mom, I don't know how a person could treat his son's like that they were great sons.
Jerry Lewis was SOB! That's for sure....
You're mean...
@@neilbuscherHe was very emotionally and Verbally Abusive towards them even while they were small Children😢
First ever 45 I ever bought! Heard this song in 1965 at a restaurant we went to a lot. I was 10 years old and fell in love with this song!!!
great choice!
Gary had the same voice inflections as his dad Jerry Lewis! He towed his own road! Nicely done....
The only pop band I have seen with a guy playing an accordion.
My favorite song. .really great melody
Listening in music is a good hobby
Yes..."Gary Lewis & The Playboy's" had many hits that, I enjoyed. This Diamond Ring..
Just My Style, Save Your Heart For Me, Green Grass, Sure Gonna Miss Her, My Hearts Sympathy, You Don't Have To Paint Me A Picture, Count Me In, I even enjoyed his voice impersonations on his song "Where Are All The Stars".
I caught his act...in the 80's at "Lulu's" in Ontario. A Truly Nice Guy ..I still have my Photo With Him. Thanks 60's Music Lovers.
A real tear-jerker.
Fine group, fine tunes. RIP to (in this lineup of the band) bassist Carl Radle, guitarist Tommy Tripplehorn, and drummer Jimmy Karstein! 💐
My favorite song. Will always remind me of my precious mom as she introduced me to all of the BEST music ever made from the beginning of my life and throughout! I will forever be grateful. I miss you and will see you again, Mom! ❤🥲
A favorite song, as I think about my special girl friend who I met in the summer of 1964.
Yikes ..I was 13 when this came out, loved them! Still do, and so glad I can see and hear them online since I didn't own a record player back then to be able to buy records!
love his music it's out of sight and fantastic.
I first heard 'This Diamond ring" then "Green Grass" at my friends house his sister's had the singles. I Asked for Gary Lewis and The playboys album for Christmas and this song was on their Golden great album that I had gotten! :)
beautiful melody
Minns den tydligt och kunde sjunga med för mig själv. Rent och fint framträdande med klara och rena stämmor. Fin mjuk sång!
Loved this song!🐊🐊🐊🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊

This song save your heart for me
For the younger generation let me explain
Ok
Here I go
During the 1950's into the 1960 college kids would go on summer break from last of May till middle of September for summer break
Most highschool girls in states like California and Florida would never consider marriage until after college
Why?
Because they loved being free.
Guys too
Here in northwest Arkansas
Girls often would get married at 16
But college kids had fun with going to the beach and summer parties
They might get engaged
Ok
When they went home for summer break they might enjoy a fling or even look at a boy but never more than flirt
Gary is singing save your heart for me
When I see you in September we will still be sweet hearts
In those colleges they had deans and older women who was mother's away from home
Basically they behaved themselves
It was common for young girls to wait till age 25 or older to marry
Why
Because when you get married you don't go out anymore
Guys waited too
The generation today is a little different
Those days most girls never even went to college
But where Gary Lewis lived they liked being free
Gary is the son of Jerry Lewis and his mother was a good looking lady too
Again it has to do with the summer time when college kids went home for summer break
Save your heart for me
Was a number one hit
That song came out in 1964
For people over 70 years old this song was a way of life
Look at how Gary is dressed and his band
College was fun and you loved every moment being free
Summer surf and beach parties
Even in southern states college kids went 4 years of college
They often got married the last year of college
It was common to see marriage at 27
Save your heart for me
¡Me encanta! La oí cuando yo tenía 12 años. Hoy me gusta más 😍.
Thanks Gary--still sounds good today! Dave in Cleveland.
Still listen and LOVE Gary and group..
My mothers favorite song from that era.
Vielen Dank für die Wunderschöne Musik Wünsche Ihnen noch eine schöne Woche. Liebe Grüße A.K
I once ran into Jerry at an airport. I said "hello, I'm a huge fan of yours". He told me "to shove it". True.
Great talent. Love his music. ❤😊
I loved this tune. I think I was about 10 or 11 when it was popular. I was very happy at that time
I always loved this group & still do!!!
Gary Lewis and Playboys!
Wonderful!
The word playboy refers to boys who played music and the guy with the accordion was a little older

What a great, great tune. I was away at camp during the summer of ‘65. This song was a huge hit that summer. What a great era. What a great band. True talent and Americana.
I was 11 when this song arrived and I fell in love with it. Thank you to the band.
I think I saw them at the Oldies concerts in Boston back the 90's. WODS 103.3,FM
Fabulous! I saw them with the Turtles!
Great concert. Gary Puckett & one of the lead singers of Three Dog Night as well. Always loved Gary Lewis!
liked this group
Never forget you....this song....rip
Many great memories with Gary's hits, especially in Worthington, OH & Ventura, CA.
Ahh. The mid 60's. What a time. Then 1968 came along 😮
As a 12-year-old, I will proudly state that this song is awesome. I heard the song while I was in the car with my mom. I was bobbin' my head lol
You are 12 and I was 12 when this song meant so much to me. I'm 70 now. Good songs live on forever.
Save your heart for me this version I love most ❤️🎼❤️
i love this music so much they were awesome ,, still listen to this great band,,,,,
Much better than the number of hits shown!!
Thank you for all the awesome music God Bless you
I just loved him. ❤️❤️❤️
First recorded by Bryan Hyland in 1963, Gary and his band took it to the top in 1965.
Never knew it was recorded before. Bryan Hyland's version didn't chart, though, did it?
I saw a June 15, 1963 Billboard (posted online) and it was advertising Bryan Hyland's then-current single "I'm Afraid to Go Home," and this was the B-side.
Many may not know it but this song was written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin.
wonderful !!
down to earth fellow too!
He's got a lot of clown in him likes his dad did. I like that!
This song is so beautiful, my favorite and ,out can count on me
I've played this song dozens with my harmonica. Everyone liked it.
I was not yet born for this music.
Future Derek & The Dominos/70s Clapton bassist, Carl Radle, plucking a short-scale 4-string here.
Priceless.
One of my puppy love favorite!!
My gosh but he was adorable! I was one year old then!
Cute little ditty. Must have been a big help having a famous and successful Dad backing your group.
The best of times! Great growing up in the 60's!
I had this 45 record. I was nine at the time
Gary Lewis & The Playboys is one the most underrated groups from the 60s & this is my favourite song by them.. I've always been a fan and always will be. Great music and great memories!! Thanks Gary and the guys!! From Vancouver Canada ♥
Carl Radle on bass….Delaney and Bonnie, Derek and the Dominoes, great player!
These were beautiful songs
I've never heard finer accordion playing anywhere.
Seen them in Branson, Missouri. Memories.
great melodies from this group.
great song, great lyrics great times!!!
@@saleenapiano I was wrong and deleted my post (about who wrote this song).
ok thanks for letting me know. i'll delete mine as well
Same ! love this song
Great old song
I love them. Absolutely love them.. I think them and the MONKEES are so cool..
Great song! Had album and wore out record!!
Just found these guys by discovering Jerry Lewis had a singer Son. Fascinating 😊
My favorite Gary song
I love their music
omg I loved them as a kid
GREAT SONG. In my mind he was America's best against the British Invasion which I'll always love. Nonetheless I love The Beach Boys and Gary Lewis and the Playboys. I hope you agree. I'm 70 years old. The first 45 I bought was "Hound Dog\Don't be cruel." A few years later I bought "Srawberry Fields\Penny Lane " I think these are best 45's ever. I hope someone agrees
Byrds way better
Thanks for your comment..
I actually have more great memories with Gary than the other groups you mentioned.
It was "manufactured music".. The instrumentals were done by "The Wrecking Crew" and Ron Hicklin overdubbed the singing of Gary Lewis..
Bubble gum pop.
This is very very awesome song
I love this music
