I'm a musician started learning at age 10 74 now played this song for my wife at least once a week.for 55 years what a great song lost my wife last year what memories
Almost 71 now in 2022 and I've moved on to Classical and the music of Kern, Gershwin, Porter, etc. But oh how these songs take me back to the days when I was young and the world was mine to explore. The buddies , the girlfriends I knew , the cars , and most of all the music. What a wonderful time it was to be young , and how bittersweet to remember .
You're absolutely right and I'm a very big Beatles fan. Only music I listen to at home or in my car are all the songs of the 50's, 60's, 70's and sometimes the 40's.
behave will you,the beatles kicked arse all over the dave Clark five ,fact.ps,I like the dave Clark five but their not in the same league as the beatles.
@@jamesbarriere7625 I am now 64 not 12 . Why are you being insulting unless you did not mean to come across that way !Wait I am 65 not 64 but not 12 no way !
Baby Boomers were very lucky to grow up in an era where we heard beautiful melodies on the radio. Waiting, and finally hearing your favorite songs on the radio was exciting. It's' missing today.
Marc Ackerman If you think of it, you have the best of every generation so far!! I grew up in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, and was a young adult in the 80’s. In the 90’s, I got busy, and was not into music, and same with the 2000’s...but I briefly hear it now, and not too thrilled. One time I had to walk out of Taco Time because the music did not make me feel good. I quicky took my tray and dumped the empty containers and paper in the garbage...but, I forgot to look under them. I had dumped my cell phone with the trash...ha, ha. It was closing time, and I actually did not discover it until later. By the next day, a Simply Mac store looked for it, and sure enough Taco Time. By then it was in the dumpster, so he deactivated it, and I got a refurbished one with the insurance. But I do have to say that at least with the 50’s to the 80’s, you have a lot to choose from, and I would add the 40’s too...I know at least some of them!! I listened with my mom!!
I am not a "boomer" but a kid called me that on FB the other day, pretending to insult me 😅 If only she knew the benefits of having been born a boomer, like you said, she would silently retreat her accusation 😉
This is my favorite DC5 song of all time. Sadly, a lot of the group have passed on, but they left some great music behind for us to enjoy. Still rocking it in 2021!
Well may i add my vote for this also being my favourite song by them! I prefer the beat ballad love songs they recorded to their more stomping songs like"glad all over"and"bits and pieces" i think Lennon and McCartney would have been proud to have wrote this as I can imagine the Beatles singing this! But Written by Mike Smith and Dave Clark, they shown they were up there with the best of them when they wrote and recorded this. I also love" come home"by the DC5. Also one of the few groups back in the 60s that conquerd America at the 1st attempt! So sad three members of the group have now passed away, but their music and wonderful lead singing voice of mike Smith and the fantastic harmonies of the rest of the group, specially on this record, means their music will live on forever! 🎶🎶👍👍🛵
I’m a 70 years old lady and I used to dance with my unforgettable boyfriend this beautiful and romantic song, those are my memories, thanks Alfonso for loving me so much! Probably we will meet us again in heaven!
Kids read magazines to find out about these groups and believed them. Could you imagine social media back then. Probably a different story weed booze and acid?
I feel so blessed, as most every 'boomer' does, to have grown up to such wonderful and beautiful music, 50's, 60's, 70's, performed by individuals and groups that were 'over the top' with talent (way, way too many to begin to list).This song alone, 'Because', just lights my heart with 'smiles' whenever I hear it. As far as the pop music of the last several generations, not even close. So, yes...I definitely feel blessed.
Takes me right back to high school, Ford convertible, only am on the dial,top down and sunny with my girl next to me and this on the radio. Was living the dream👍
My guardian hugged and kissed me always playing this song....He held me in his arms as I went over the Rainbow. I see him still and look be with him when he comes up...........
BORN IN 66, I TOTALLY AGREE. THE SUPER 70'S WERE GREAT . MOST OF MY FAVE GROUPS CAME FROM THE 60'S. LOVE THE MUSIC FROM THAT DECADE. AND THE AWESOME 80'S!!.ROCK ON RC!!!.
You're so right..the 80's rock, too....Prince #1 for me. Michael J., Aerosmith, The Police, Guns & Roses, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, David Bowie, Whitney Houston, George Michael and the list goes on and on. Thanks! I guess I prefer the 60's and 70's because they're closer I was very young in the 70's.
Yvonne Wheeler Beautiful. You got married during the renaissance of music that only comes along every blue moon. This I would say led to your long wonderful marriage. God Bless you both.
What absolutely fantastic memories. I was so lucky to be a teenager in the late 1950's to mid 60's. God, what I wouldn't give to do it all again and not change a thing.
shoulderlift so very true Dave Clark was a very shrewd business man as well managed the band and owned all the masters right from the beginning one of my favorite songs of all time I used to play it for my dearly beloved late wife all the time and meant every word such a beautiful woman and song
Man. This reminds me of being a small child and my parents playing this on a 45. Dad would sing to mom. They would dance. What happened to yesterday man.
I was just thinking the very same thing when I saw your post. It's a crying shame that todays music has become an "arms race" to see who can be the most perverted and offensive. Makes me sad for the youth of today.
Fist concert I ever went to. The Dave Clark 5 was IT! 8th birthday. Saw "Catch Us If You Can" at theatre. Wanted to be a drummer with a double bass. Ended up being a guitar player. No regrets. Lvya all much. Shalom. D
Huge Hit in the USA It Played 24/7 on all of the 50000 watt AM stations coast to coast and what a great hit !..I too ,was a big Beatles fan but loved this song every bit as much as any new Beatles hit on the charts. Brits...the best thing that could ever happen to us here in the US was the British music invasion ! We loved it every bit as much as did you.. Thank you !!!
Dana As a Brit the "British Invasion" was musically one of the biggest con tricks of all time because apart from the Beatles who wrote most of their own stuff everything else was cover versions of American artists.For example Needles and Pins When YOU WALK IN THE ROOM both orginally recorded by Jackie de Shannon.Go Now a huge Moody Blues hit was orginally done by Bessie Banks.I could go on the list is endless. It was all largely American music covered by British artists and sold back to the USA.
@@Topper954 Interesting comments topper..I will be 73 years of age and lived through that whole period.I witnessed the songs and artists first hand and can assure you that we did NOT consider song originality at that time,.We were happy to hear new groups playing their own spin on hits with great melodies that were played 24/7 on AM radio stations coast to coast .In fact, many american groups including the garage bands , also played " Covers" and were heard 24/7 on the radio stations.We wanted great sounds with great melodies that you could dance to... and that is what you brits and we americans ...delivered in spades...and we ate it up.. hook , lie and sinker.If there was a con job going on, we did not care in the least..we bought the records..I played , coronet , trumpet and baritone from age 10 and played some of these songs myself..although I played mostly jazz and swing songs from the 40's.. Peace and I wish you all the best....mate..db
Dana Brinkmeier Dana , Thank you for your interesting response to my comments.Surprised that you knew and didnt particularly care regarding the BRITISH COVER VERSIONS.Personally I was always into orginals and in the pre Beatle days when lots of Stateside hits got covered by British artists ie Cliff Richard Do You Wanna Dance orginal of course Bobby Freeman I'd always buy the latter.As a matter of interest is the USA aware of the phenomenon here in the U.K. called Northern Soul.This took off in the late 60s early 70s mainly confined to the Northern area of England.What it amounted to was a total rejection of pop mainstream records and the playing of quite fast and very danceable American soul by quite obsure artists.Check out Roy Hamilton Cracking Up Over You Barbara Mills Queen Of Fools both massive Northern Soul hits.On a recent US train journey which took me straight across the country from Chicargo to San Francisco (4 days) got talking about music to the coloured steward who had never heard of Northern Soul.Gave him a couple of titles and he was really into it.Gave it a try.
@@Topper954 Top, sorry to say that I have not really followed that genre so would not be able to speak intelligently about same.Have a great summer and...by the way...I Have restored antique farm tractors[ John Deere and International.. as a hobby for over 40 years and have met many UK fellow restorers who have been over here touring the many large tractor and steam shows we have.They are great people and we have had so much fun together.My great mother is from the UK and so I have some English blood flowing in my veins..LOL. The english countryside is so beautiful and we have toured some of your antique tractor shows that many of us had the good pleasure to attend..God Bless ...Dana
Just a perfect pop record, from start to finish. One of probably about 9 others that week in 1964, LOL. The classic hits came fast and furious in those days, an amazing era.
The Dave Clark Five has to be one of the most underappreciated groups in history. When I was a kid hearing this song on Chicago's Magic 104.3 FM I always thought it was The Beatles.
THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN BY JOHN LENNON AND PAUL MCCARTNEY IN 64. THEY GAVE THIS SONG TO DAVE CLARK TO GET HIS CAREER GOING. AND THE DAVE CLARK FIVE WAS ONE OF THE BEST GROUPS OF THE 60'S. AND A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS THE BEATLES WHEN THIS TUNE CAME OUT. ROCK ON MS!!.
@@bethg.5611 : In the beginning of The British Invasion, I first thought this music came from a different galaxy. I was bewildered. Long hair ? Funny accents ?
I loved this song. They do not make music like this. I am so glad i came from that era. I could see me and my friends walking with our transistor radios, singing to this. Older people looking at us, like we were nuts.
I agree. God loves you. Thats not all . He sent His Son Jesus into the world . That if we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus and believe God raised Him from the dead thou shalt be saved. Jesus Lord and Savior.
The Dave Clark Five had 12 Top 40 hits in the UK between 1964 and 1967, and 17 records in the Top 40 of the US Billboard chart. In January 1964 they had their first UK top ten single, "Glad All Over", which knocked the Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" off the top of the UK Singles Chart. It peaked at No. 6 in the United States in April 1964. The group disbanded in early 1970. On 10 March 2008, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Damn that’s music, brings back memories when I was a teenager! The crap they have today doesn’t hold a candle to this stuff, gland I came up in the 60sand 70s
What a beautiful song. It is also so soothing and relaxing to hear. I always feel good while listening to "Because" and feel better after listening. Great songs like this are timeless. Cheers to great music and love. ❤😊
When they came out with this my father bought me a Farfisa organ....shortage on Vox. Took me until was 70 yrs old to get a Vox. In perfect shape. My greatest thrill was to play along with this recording with my new VOX organ. Such a great group . Thrills even now at 74
I'am obsessed with this song. Also, I love the announcers introduction. That, along with the opening instrumental note feels like a mighty jet lifting off.🙂🙂❤️
The group's harmony on this song is 2nd to none!! The Beatles are praised for their amazing harmonies, superb backing vocals to whoever is taking the lead, this song shows the Dave Clark Five are up there with the best of them! Not just This song is one even the Beatles would have been proud to have done, mike Smith and Dave Clark wrote it, along with many of their other songs! So sad three members of the group are no longer with us, including Mike Smith, but songs like this are timeless and will prove their music will live on forever!🎶🎶👍👍🛵
.This was one of those Great Groups that made the British Invasion during the early sixties. Their songs were meaningful and are still nice to hear, over fifty years later

Mike Smith one of the most underrated singer ever great JOB
He was the voice of that band.

I was 16 when this came out in 1964 and I can listen to this song a thousand times, it never gets old. Where did the time go.
It went 90 degrees from everything
My all time favorite British song. Melody etc
I was 15 when this song came out. Got to see the DC5 perform in Chicago.
13 years old in 64. What a timeless classic.
Mike's voice is just AMAZING.
I agree ;)
I never tire of hearing this song. Like to hear it just before I sleep.❤
I love how they're always smiling and so happy!
4 years to go I'll be 70! This is my favorite Dave Clark five song! Because it's so beautiful!
I wish we had music like this today. You could turn on the radio & listen to such great groups like this & dance all day.

Kids read magazines to find out about these groups and believed them. Could you imagine social media back then. Probably a different story weed booze and acid?
Chad, I wish that I had a time machine. I agree with your analogy. I would gladly go back, if only for a short time.
They probably had their share of good times, but did not let it get out of hand hopefully.
Loved them. Still do. And still listen to their music.
Except for the fact Dave Clark didnt write or play drums on the records, It was Mike Smith band
Great Band, suits and ties, professional looking, and bowing to the crowd at the end of song, thanking their fans, doesn’t get any better 👍

Good ole days ,long gone

One of there best. I’m 37 and prefer music from the 60’s to the crap that’s out now. Remember my parents playing this in the house on the weekends

A great song 60 years later . Brings back so many memories
This was the song i danced with my crush during our Junior and Senior Prom way back in 1965! It was very popular in the Philippones back then!
Mike Smith...great talent!
This is one of the most beautiful song ever. They don't make them like this anymore, sadly!

Sorry for your loss, Robert. It is indeed a most beautiful song, and I'm sure that your wife was a beautiful lady!
The really sad thing is they don't even know how....
All the 60,70, n 80's are the best music of all time

Life's not good now , but back then life was good and so was the music.
I second that opinion...ditto.

masterpiece. Bandleader from Letterman used this as his wedding song Tells you how great it is
grew up listening to 60s music from my dad while working in the shop on the farm in Minnesota back in late 1980s early 90s. great music
The Dave Clark Five has to be one of the most underappreciated groups in history. When I was a kid hearing this song on Chicago's Magic 104.3 FM I always thought it was The Beatles.
They were as popular as the Beatles for a time.
THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN BY JOHN LENNON AND PAUL MCCARTNEY IN 64. THEY GAVE THIS SONG TO DAVE CLARK TO GET HIS CAREER GOING. AND THE DAVE CLARK FIVE WAS ONE OF THE BEST GROUPS OF THE 60'S. AND A LOT OF PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS THE BEATLES WHEN THIS TUNE CAME OUT. ROCK ON MS!!.
@slip satch LOL, I know right?? LOL
@slip satch I've got news for you, I was there. Because by the DC5 and Because by the Beatles are two completely different songs, lol
@@bethg.5611 : In the beginning of The British Invasion, I first thought this music came from a different galaxy. I was bewildered. Long hair ? Funny accents ?
I loved this song. They do not make music like this. I am so glad i came from that era. I could see me and my friends walking with our transistor radios, singing to this. Older people looking at us, like we were nuts.
a classic song love this tune when things are right with the world u sing it 2 ur girl
Very romantic melody, until now it's my favorite song, the blending, the harmony, i dont know what to say, just very good song.
ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS 🎵 OF THE 60s...
This music never dies.
Hello Jaguarwoman
What beautiful rendition.Just wish everyone out there in the world could know this song captures exactly how God feels about them!
I agree. God loves you. Thats not all . He sent His Son Jesus into the world . That if we confess with our mouth the Lord Jesus and believe God raised Him from the dead thou shalt be saved. Jesus Lord and Savior.
God wants you to 'Give Him (me) one kiss' to be happy. Come on, now.

Not today. This is what denominational indoctrination does.
Go to what the apostle to the gentiles said.
I can think of worse things. Like just about every other song
just enjoy the music never mind your delusions
This song is absolutely beautiful
I love songs of 60 and 70 s reminds my young years
I will love this song for the rest of my life
Love this song so much. It is one of the best in the 60's.
Beautiful chord structure and harmonies
I love this song and have for over 50 years.
Such a great song 👌
The Dave Clark Five had 12 Top 40 hits in the UK between 1964 and 1967, and 17 records in the Top 40 of the US Billboard chart. In January 1964 they had their first UK top ten single, "Glad All Over", which knocked the Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" off the top of the UK Singles Chart. It peaked at No. 6 in the United States in April 1964. The group disbanded in early 1970. On 10 March 2008, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Damn that’s music, brings back memories when I was a teenager! The crap they have today doesn’t hold a candle to this stuff, gland I came up in the 60sand 70s
OMG...I love this! So many sweet memories growing up...😷😥💖
i saw them in person when i was six it was insane with girls screaming i will never forget that day, great memory .
What a beautiful song. It is also so soothing and relaxing to hear. I always feel good while listening to "Because" and feel better after listening. Great songs like this are timeless. Cheers to great music and love. ❤😊
The "clean-cut" band of the British Invasion! They were a great band, with Mike Smith supplying strong, bluesy vocals...
When they came out with this my father bought me a Farfisa organ....shortage on Vox. Took me until was 70 yrs old to get a Vox. In perfect shape. My greatest thrill was to play along with this recording with my new VOX organ. Such a great group . Thrills even now at 74
'Because' was very popular song way back in the 60's in the Philippines when I was in High School!
I'am obsessed with this song. Also, I love the announcers introduction. That, along with the opening instrumental note feels like a mighty jet lifting off.🙂🙂❤️
Eternally grateful to Mike for the great vocals and co writing Because!
GREAT POP SONG! 👍
The group's harmony on this song is 2nd to none!! The Beatles are praised for their amazing harmonies, superb backing vocals to whoever is taking the lead, this song shows the Dave Clark Five are up there with the best of them! Not just This song is one even the Beatles would have been proud to have done, mike Smith and Dave Clark wrote it, along with many of their other songs! So sad three members of the group are no longer with us, including Mike Smith, but songs like this are timeless and will prove their music will live on forever!🎶🎶👍👍🛵
.This was one of those Great Groups that made the British Invasion during the early sixties. Their songs were meaningful and are still nice to hear, over fifty years later
