I remember back when Tiffany released her version of this, I completely thought it was her song and my grandma loved it so much and then said the original was better😳😳😳 I was blown away when she busted out this vinyl and played it for me. It was my “rabbit hole” journey that took me to a whole new world of music to me!!! RIP to my wonderful grandmother. I MISS YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!😭😭😭😭
When I first heard this, it was on a classic rock station on a stereo that didn't tell you info about the song or the band. Heard again recently in passing(also like 10 years ago in the movie Ted) and looked it up. Got the Tiffany version first and thought it was good, but not what I remembered. Next on UA-cam results was a solo cover by the lead singer of Green Day, and immediately knew this wasn't the version, mostly because Green Day didn't exist when I had first heard it. So third in the results is this, original, version, that I was looking for all along for a very specific reason....the heartbeat. When the music and lyrics completely cut out for the deep heartbeat sound, it distinguishes itself from, even more than the already great singing and instrumentals, the covers and comes out on top, imo.
@@ArrowArchitect Exactly how I felt when my grandmother played this for me. It was unbelievable that such a hit was made way before my time that was even better than Tiffany’s cover. Tiffany’s cover was like a prime example of what the 80s represents but then when you go back and listen to this original, 😳😳😳😳 MIND BLOWING how far ahead they were in song writing!!!! It reminds of Marty McFly’s cover of “Johnny be Good” from Back to the Future! How he was playing music from a future generation. This is what this song did to me.
This generation doesn’t even know this song. For those of us who grew up in the 80’s, the Tiffany version is better. I’m glad these guys wrote it though, because there’s no way she could have come up with it herself.
HELLO @MARYBRITTAIN5945, I WAS IN VIET NAM TOO IN THE MARINES , IN 1966 THRU 1967 , GLAD TO GET OUT OF THAT PLACE, PLEASE REPLY , JOHN FROM NORTH CAROLINA . thanks ....bye john .
Wow! Fair play to him for having the guts to fight along with others. Unlike all the so called patriots in politics today who all dodged the draft & act tough. Funny how time changes. I respect those who fought & those who opposed the war. But the draft dodgers who act patriotic today & use the military as a tool disgust me...and no I'm just referring to 1 person here. I have a long list!
Summer of 67...between jr high and high school... running wild thru the neighborhood in the hot evenings with our friends, listening to this song on the transistor.... life was simple and fun back then.
Did you have a 6 or 8 xistor radio back then as this is important? ; I had an 8 and lots of friends:) Transport me back too then "any" entity's are welcome to contact/contract me for this.
You too! My time exactly between jr. hi and hi school. I fell in love with my first lady. There was a field behind her house that we would run through. My o my, take me back.
Hubby also introduced this beautiful song to me in 1978....soo makes me think of our early days together...we married 46 years this month God is good...❤❤
I’m right behind you I played these songs to my then boyfriend who claimed spottily, he did listen to bubble gum music, but real rock and roll, meaning hard rock, now after 45 years of marriage we listen to all music along with our grandkids who I am teaching real music to. They have favorites already at 2 @ 4& always yell when walking in the door. Play my song grandma!! Thena battle to see who gets to have their favorite song played first. My grandson being 4 usually wins,but I make him wait until his cousin has heard her Song first!he’s a little gentleman an never c0mplains! Am proud of ț
Beautiful...God bless ...grandkids are our blessings yes....have one girl going on for 18 years old next month 3 October...one girl turning 13....and one Baba 18 months...all Gods blessings.
They were upset the producers made them mime to their original song being played on air he was trying to be obvious that he is definitely not playing what you are hearing or singing in the background vocals etcetera
This is THE song that perfectly describes my senior year of high school with my girlfriend and how we had to “hide what we’re doing” because what would our parents say “if they only knew”. We spent many Friday and Saturday nights after games alone together where “the beating of our hearts was the only sound”. We eventually were married and together for nearly 20 years and had 2 amazing sons before we divorced. (Like so many of our generation). She was recently killed in a tragic gun incident and and I find myself remembering those amazing high school years, the great music, and just how very special those years were for us. We were the class of ‘69. RIP, S. You are missed!
Class of 1972 married My high school sweetheart also been married for 47 years. We went to a Tommy James concert in 1971 or 72 they were great just getting going Crimson And Clover just became a hit.

I was 15 in '67. Saw everything happen especially the British invasion a few years prior. I am so glad I experienced the 60s, 70, and 80s. They were my fav decades for🎶🎶🎶 It was a "groovy"time to be young! 🤣
One of my favorite songs. A big hit back then. It went to #4 on the charts in April 1967, should have been #1. It was one of the best songs of the year.
All the people living now in the USA are 300 million. You meant 500 thousand people, that is the half of one million, NOT 500 MILLION PEOPLE, That's impossible.
Sorry, no way. they'd be laughed and sneered at. Todays kids have no soul and no sense of romance, it's all just out there for them to jump on and ignore the subtle things.
@@davidschmidt6013 Mostly, but Kate Bush’s 1978 tune Running Up That Hill sure got a lot of attention from the young crowd last year after it was featured on Stranger Things. My kids were shocked I knew the lyrics!
The years 1966, 67, 68 and 69 : the more I see , listen to songs in those years I ask : how could have people heard so big an enormous quantity of wonderful songs ? I guess there were more good songs than people to enjoy them, more talented people than listeners... Thanks for the golden moment.
This came on a vintage radio station the other day i said to my 18 year daughter remember Tiffany done this one she looked at me is if i was mad fuck me I'm getting old
One of the very few songs that church organ music was an acceptable R&R instrument. Sweet Cherry wine, Crimson & Clover, Chrystal Blue Persuasion……..they really bring you back!
My mom grew up in the 80's and showed me Tiffany's version. Then randomly on the radio they played this song, and I was like, " That wasn't the original!?"
I graduated in 1994 my friends and I all wished we grew up in that time. I remember when Forest Gump came out and Woodstock 94... We all wanted to be hippies sooo bad. We all dressed in tie dies and flannels (lots of color) good times!! but it didn't last long, we had to get jobs.
1967........my last year in high school and before I went to college. Madly in love with a girl. Best summer a kid could have in high school. We meet nearly 50 years later. Great time reminiscing of what went on in 1967.
This was actually the first version I heard. Mom liked the Oldies station when they still had one on the radio. So I grew up listening to the "golden oldies". I love this era!
Tommy settled in Clifton, New Jersey. Ironically, my wife and i moved to northern New Jersey. We knew friends whose kids would "trick or treat" at Halloween at his house in Clifton. Again, total gentleman. If asked, would show his gold or platinum records on the wall. Not preening , simply showing them. The man achieved early success, rode it, dealt with very strange business issues, (like Mob!), and is a Christian believer.
Back when Tiffany released her version, my parents wouldn't buy me her tape so I took my dad's Tommy James and the Shondells tape and blasted it in my room with my windows open. I heard it for the first time in forever on the radio this morning and it made me so happy.
Oh my God this song sure brings back lots of memories for me. I sure think of my high school boyfriend Steve oh how I miss him. Since 1970 he was lost in a car crash so yes this song has so many memories.
My Dad was gracious enough to let his 16 year old son take his Oldsmobile 98 on a date... it had a factory 8-track player and this was one of many. Those were the days my friend!
My sister listed to this on her transistor radio, 1969 was a great year. The summer was exciting and the music was great. I was 8 that summer, a distant memory.
The next time a young person tells me that Tiffany did the original version of this I am going to make them expire. T.J. and the Shondells, the only version you need to listen to!!
The drummer added value before with those stick tricks at the outset. Perfect placement and very good showmanship. This flair says, here’s something special coming…
Tommy is a really nice guy too. I'm good friends with his cousin. Got to meet and hangout with Tommy and the band. That was about 20 years ago and he still has it going on!!!!
I had to read down this thread to learn that someone else covered this song. Tommy James was so great. The entire album “Crimson and Clover” is one of my all time favs. Every song is nearly perfect and totally captured the spirit of he 60s
I grew up in the 70s and 80s. Fortunate enough to hear the original and Tiffany's version. What teenage boy didn't have a Tiffany crush. She was amazingly close to the original but I still love the classics
I got to see them perform LIVE at a 60’s festival, them the turtles the animals the monkeys, The Beach Boys and others it was my first concert ever😂 … Thks DAD HAD A BLAST AT LIKE 14 years old, 😅
First time I seen Tommy James live was in 1975 in a small Rual town at the Playland dance hall. That place was so packed a mouse could not sneak in. Was a great concert, but you could see the mafia drugs effecting him in a bad way then. So glad he found God and his power in the end. He looks better today than he did in 1975.
“Tommy James and the Shondells” took the music to the next level in the music industry. He molded, our hearts and souls into the next “Level” of what was to be an even better, greater, next level of music”. Thankyou Tommy and your “iconic” band for taking us to the next level.
I remember back when Tiffany released her version of this, I completely thought it was her song and my grandma loved it so much and then said the original was better😳😳😳
I was blown away when she busted out this vinyl and played it for me. It was my “rabbit hole” journey that took me to a whole new world of music to me!!! RIP to my wonderful grandmother. I MISS YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!😭😭😭😭

I loved TJ. My favorite Crystal Blue Persuasion
Tommy James and the shondells may God bless them all. They brought happiness to the world with their songs thanks for sharing the music video 👍🇺🇸
Those were the days, I remember listening to this on the radio in the car, of course AM only!😅
How did we go from 1967 to 2022 so fast!?😢
Life is like a puff of smoke in the wind...comes - goes very quickly
the time is rough only short the rearview mirror
Time just flew on by
I think about that all the time. Where did the time go?
AM is all my Mustang had until I got an 8 track.
0:24 Comencé a escucharla en 1971.....pero fue un éxito cuando salió 1967...ALTO VOLTAE ... JESÚS RINCÓN RODRÍGUEZ
Who’s here in 2024?
I am!!
My sister listed to this on her transistor radio, 1969 was a great year. The summer was exciting and the music was great. I was 8 that summer, a distant memory.
This music from the past has all whst music today dont't have.
Talent and melody....
Truth Indeed
I’m 45 now in 2022. But sometimes I really wish that i could have grown up during the 50’s and 60’s!
You ve got wisdom man....good fantasy to go by in today s world.
I'm 40 and grew up wishing the same thing man... music was the best back then ❤✌
You only got today,use it well.
The next time a young person tells me that Tiffany did the original version of this I am going to make them expire. T.J. and the Shondells, the only version you need to listen to!!
Nice to know that at 46 yes old I'm still considered a young person 😊 Truly had never heard this version before, but I remain a girl from the 80's.
this song always gets me in a good mood
Es muy bonita, pero me da mucha nostalgia.
song was from when my mom was listening to it and i grew up to it so erm yew LOLZ I am 43 o0 AND i love it !!
Such great music back in the 60s and 70s.
The drummer added value before with those stick tricks at the outset. Perfect placement and very good showmanship. This flair says, here’s something special coming…
Tommy is a really nice guy too. I'm good friends with his cousin. Got to meet and hangout with Tommy and the band. That was about 20 years ago and he still has it going on!!!!
This song just makes me happy!
Hello, how are you doing it's nice meeting you here.
I had to read down this thread to learn that someone else covered this song. Tommy James was so great. The entire album “Crimson and Clover” is one of my all time favs. Every song is nearly perfect and totally captured the spirit of he 60s
Lena Lovich's version is great
Made junior high unforgettable! So many memories! And even more at the skating rink on Saturday night!
I miss those times 💔 too much fighting anymore, so distressing, can we start over? i'm not so sure with this admin
I agree-the album is often overlooked when albums are ranked.
This song was covered in the 80's by a lady called Tiffany
That hair and sideburns are dope! I’m gonna rock that in 2022.
The 45 of this song is one of the first records I bought with my own money.

My #1 rebellious song at age 14!!!❤
Yes these songs told the stories of our lives and our love in the late 60’s and 70’s. They were almost hypnotic
Hello Sandy, How are you doing?
How long have you been a fan 💖
Perfect song for us when dating, we're married over 50 yrs a go ! Still our perfect car song !
I grew up in the 70s and 80s. Fortunate enough to hear the original and Tiffany's version. What teenage boy didn't have a Tiffany crush. She was amazingly close to the original but I still love the classics
I got to see them perform LIVE at a 60’s festival, them the turtles the animals the monkeys, The Beach Boys and others it was my first concert ever😂 … Thks DAD HAD A BLAST AT LIKE 14 years old, 😅
First time I seen Tommy James live was in 1975 in a small Rual town at the Playland dance hall. That place was so packed a mouse could not sneak in. Was a great concert, but you could see the mafia drugs effecting him in a bad way then. So glad he found God and his power in the end. He looks better today than he did in 1975.
Wow
Boy does this take me way back; Groovy Baby!! 😅
I graduated from High School in 1964 remember this song and how fun it was to be a teenager
Man...I honestly thought this was Tiffany's 88 hit...this honestly sounds much better.
“Tommy James and the Shondells” took the music to the next level in the music industry. He molded, our hearts and souls into the next “Level” of what was to be an even better, greater, next level of music”. Thankyou Tommy and your “iconic” band for taking us to the next level.
