These were all recorded during the second half of 1966, and the American ones here were released in the States in late 1966, but over here a bit later.
@@willieluncheonette5843 Fraid so on both counts, esp. the Otis Redding. Like the man said, suitable for cuddling with a bird but not much else. The Stones one is adventurous for them then but not much more.
The footage you used of Otis breaks my heart. He has only hours to live. And the guys behind him were killed in the crash. They were the original Bar-kay's of 'Soul Finger' fame. They were a local Memphis band groomed by Booker T and the MG's to be the Stax touring band because Booker T and the MG'S were too busy in the studio to go on the road. I recommend the Bar-kay's only album Soul Finger. Fantastic album.
This was possibly the golden age of pop music in both the UK and the USA. Such variety and so much quality! Dave Dee though, with a few exceptions, had a tin ear. No wonder his group never made it in the States.
As far as I know, Dave pointing out that vocal segment on "Good Thing" sounding like the Beach Boys is the first time someone (except 12 year old me back then) pointed out! His wrong guesses were valiant and funny IMHO.
''Ruby Tuesday'' is probably my favourite Rolling Stones song. I'm surprised Dave wasn't more enthusiastic when he heard it for the first time in his life. Something we can't do now is listening to those songs in the musical context of that era because times are different, but it must have been wonderful to come across this gem on the radio when it appeared in 1967. Thank you, Yesterday's Papers.🤗🤗🤗
This was an ok period for singles. The two by the stones are 2 of my absolute favorites by them. I’m a guitar player, but “let’s spend the night together” is one of my favorite things to play with my limited piano skills.
James...tragic day. Gene Vincent was also a passenger in the car, and his already bad leg was injured even worse. The accident further accelerated his drug addictions, alcoholism, and early death. The second "day the music died"
He admittedly had a much better collection of singles to review here than Ringo Starr of December 1964, but he did not know who most of these were. Maybe he had not heard of Paul Revere And The Raiders (Good Thing), as they never set the charts alight over here, but had loads of hits in the States. They were as big in the States as what Cliff Richard was over here at the time, but about as big over here as what Cliff Richard was in the States.
gosh, it starts with a lyric I often quote "catch your dreams before they slip away" And that was a nice batch ! And oh boy, Happy Jack is 3rd on the chart ! ❤❤❤
I love the lyrics..inspiring. I know Pete's semse of humor but just imagine that..those kids rode on his back and Happy Jack just keeps on keeping on..kinda like Jumping Jack Flash..lol! Hello Whooligans!
Excellent array of singles this time around. "I was amazed this was the Stones" The Stones would occasionally show their softer side and I don't think there's an album where they do that more than "Between the Buttons". Baroque beauty! I wonder what bit in "Good Thing" sounded like the Beatles. I always preferred MG's collaboration with Tammi, but the Kim Weston tracks are pretty ace.
Dave Dee reviews the singles in a kind and humble way. The Stones' single is really fabulous! I like your music in the end, some very cool garagetunes! '96 Tears' and 'Mr. Farmer'! Great!
I love your channel. With all the work you put into these and your attention to detail you can really feel the love you have for this era. It’s like taking a time machine back to the 60’s
Awesome to see all the Tamla Motown in the chart, also Dead End Street by the Kinks is an absolute classic , also Friday On My Mind by the Easybeats is great
I loved the distinctive sound of early Stones with Brian Jones and was surprised a fellow-musician would fail to recognise the band. Great to see The Easybeats in the charts, they were dynamic! Excellent as always YP and your outro is fabulous, thank you.
Lol. Funny at least he admitted he was defeated by not knowing anyone. Never heard the Paul Jones..pretty cool. These are great reviews..not only for the reviews but the insight on the thought processes and the personalities of the reviewers.
Little known? You must mean in America. In the UK he was well famous. He had a weekly peak time TV variety show on the BBC for over 20 years. A kind of Andy Williams/Perry Como with an Irish brogue.
@@doctorbohr1585 …..Nana Mouskouri and Demis Roussos also featured on television here around that time. In fact, because Demis was invariably shown as a kaftan-wearing Greek singer, it wasn’t until about 10 years ago that I discovered his Progressive/Rock work with Aphrodite’s Child.
I always enjoy your music , and you do a great job ; but I'm amazed during the Charts at the end you were able to mimic the incredible beyond Yes or ELP complexity that was ... ? & The Mysterians
Interesting to see The Mike Sammes Singers in the British charts. Was recently reading that The Mike Sammes Singers provided the backing vocals for The Beatles ‘ l Am The Walrus’ . It must have been the most unusual session of their lives.. Apparently they all had a ball, with Lennon getting them to chant ‘Everybody’s Got One’ and ‘ Umper Umper Stick lt Up Your Jumper’ .lmagine performing on this masterpiece!
Love your channel, but one addition that i think would make it even better is if you flashed the top chart position of each record when they're talked about so we can see how right/wrong each person is or just how to see how the tracks faired at all.
"Ruby Tuesday" is the most beautiful song of all-time in my opinion. Brian made that song the timeless masterpiece that it is. And "Lets Spend the Night Together" pure genius. I love your outro music as always, YP. This piece you composed is giving me Ray Manzarek vibes 🎹💯💖
Thanks, Sophie! The instrumental at the end is a sort of medley adaption of "96 Tears" by Question Mark & The Mysterians and "Mr Farmer" by The Seeds. Glad you dug it! I agree with you, that's an outsanding Stones single. One of their best from that era.
@@tonypeterson5156 Jagger had nothing to do with Ruby Tuesday, as he himself admits. Brian was instrumental in the song's development (Marianne Faithfull even claims that he came up with the basic melody and presented it to Keith), but Brian wasn't credited on the label or even thanked by the band, which contributed to his downward spiral.
@@tonypeterson5156 You have no idea what you're talking about. It was Brian who was behind the development of Ruby Tuesday not the other two who steal other people's ideas! The jealousy people have towards Brian is insane.
In fairness to him, some of those tunes were exceptionally obscure. And he was likely too busy to be keeping up with the radio (remember, these are new releases and some surely would never get play on UK radio). I've been involved with music since 1964 as a listener, 1966 as a player, and work in the music industry. I never previously heard the tunes here by the McCoys nor ? & the Mysterians, though I am familiar with their iconic hits and followed the McCoys when they became the And in Johnny Winter And (use of the McCoys name was dropped for legal reasons). The Mayall tune is a throwaway ditty totally unlike the Clapton and Peter Green guitar-driven stuff from him at the time. Paul Revere & the Raiders were nothing in the UK, though he did pick up on some points most music aficionados overlook re: Beatles and Beach Boys influences. He got Otis Redding and was right about the tune. He got Paul Jones. I mean, I'm not here to defend him, but really....
I thought his comparison to The Young Rascals was spot on. More credit should be given to Dave Dee, etc. They made some great singles, in a bunch of different styles too. They got a lot of US airplay in the northeast.
“I’m going to cry, cry, cry, cry now, 96 tears.” YP, Lovin’ your rendition of 96 Tears by ? And The Mysterians. It was their keyboardist Freddy Rodríguez which helped defined their sound especially on 96 Tears. Unfortunately for them that would be their only major hit. I’m going to go back now and dance to the end list.
As I was be-bopping to 96 Tears, I kept hearing a secondary tune playing in the background, then it breaks out. It took me a moment or two to realize that’s Pushing To Hard by The Seeds. That was most excellent, YP!
The term "punk rock" was coined in a description of "96 Tears" that was part of an early 1970s article in one of those NYC glossy magazines, the New Yorker or LOOK or something. The keyboard style from "96 Tears" would actually show up in some of the early East Coast punk-rock records, like "X-Offender" by Blondie and "Roadrunner" by The Modern Lovers. It was even adopted by the J. Giles Band for a couple of years in the early 1980s in records like "Just Can't Wait" and "Freeze Frame".
@@pcno2832 ? And the Mysterians and the Seeds that I mentioned have been classified as proto-punk. You can definitely hear their and others influence on the early punks of the 70s.
A fabulous start to 1967. Most of these tracks are classics from the sweet baroque pop of ''Ruby Tuesday'' though to the wonderful Otis Redding treatment of "Try a Little Tenderness" and my fav from this month being Paul Jones ''Ive Been A Bad Bad Boy''.
I love the rendition of "96 tears", with a little bit of "You Really Got Me" mixed in. "Good Thing" is my favorite out of the songs that were featured. "it Takes Two" is a cute song. The Stones first two hits of '67 are good but the previous year-- they had 5 blockbuster top ten hits plus a top 30 hit, "Lady Jane" in the States.
I used to have Ray Davies Blind Date 1965 I believe- he reviewed Ray McVie... haven't seen it here. Is there a " selection" one can go to? I can't find Stones rehearse Their Satanic Maj......LP. Thanx for all your work! Research, photos, graphics, narration, themes and Tea!
Remember taking Question Mark & the Mysterians' 96 Tears to music class early '67 , the music teacher complained it was only two chords. Paul Revere & the Raiders.....so underestimated outside the U.S. . Must've been their silly act that kept them from being taken seriously. In the end it was mainly Terry Melcher ,Mark Lindsay and a merry band of ace session men.
At #20 The Easybeats *Aussie group, absolute LEGENDS!* "Friday On My Mind should've been on EMI's *Parlophone* label instead of the lowly United Artists label.
-Obvious Mick Jagger's voice Oh, I don't know who it is - Obviously NOT Ike & Tina Turner Ike and Tina Turner? James Brown? -Obvious John Mayall's voice Oh!John Lee Hooker! I love him!
Paul Revere and the Raiders, probably one of the greatest American bands of the 60s and their exclusion from the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame is a disgrace
Yes, at this point there is no arguing their exclusion, especially when the likes of rappers and Dolly Parton are inducted (Dolly originally declined, noting the obvious: she's not a rocker). But those astute elitist snobs and subjectively biased authorities on the selection committee also saw fit to exclude Todd Rundgren, Deep Purple, Yes, RUSH and various other notables until fan pressure prompted them to capitulate. To his credit, rather than attend the event to collect his award, Rundgren did a gig across town and didn't even mention the event or his win. He's not as needy as those so many others who somehow feel deserving or vindicated with their win.
When Bon Jovi made it I knew the hall had lost all credibility! When all you Jersey boys send me antagonistic responses, I'll tell you right now I won't answer!
@@paulcooper8818 True. But don't blame Jann Wenner - ironically the founder and publisher of counter culture publication Rolling Stone Magazine - and his henchmen. Blame those fans and artists who clammer for the acclaim of acknowledgement. Yes, it is nice to be included, particularly for those who are insecure and otherwise feeling 'left out'. My comment re: Todd Rundgren (above in this thread) highlights the reality that someone who is super-talented and comfortable with his own abilities - despite being neglected by 'music lovers' and the industry for decades - doesn't give a damn for the hero worship treatment. The fact that he mocked himself by naming his fourth solo album - coming after the success of 'Something/Anything' - 'A Wizard, A True Star' suggested even then that he was someone whou wouldn't be suckered by the spotlight and hollow adulation.
The McCoys went on to record Infinite McCoys and Human Ball shortly after this, two albums that were under-rated, in my opinion. The core of the band also recorded with Johnny Winter as Johnny Winter And. Rick Derringer went on to work with Edgar Winter, too. Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo is considered a classic by many.
I have no idea who Dave Dee is. I was surprised he didn’t recognize the artist on some of these, but then again he was probably hearing those songs for the first time. It is hard to imagine what it might have been like to turn on the radio and hearing Ruby Tuesday for the first time. Would I have instantly known it was the Stones? It is hard to not recognize Jagger’s voice in my opinion, but who knows.
Funny how Dave Dee only recognized Paul Jones. I like how he compares the Beatles, Beach Boys, and Ike and Tina Turner. Good Thing is my all-time favorite song by PRATR.
The Raiders did many great singles and many fine album tracks, though sadly did not amount to anything in the UK or Europe (I was living in Germany at the time). Ironically, the same musicians playing on the Beach Boys records - the so-called 'Wrecking Crew' - also did most of the Raiders tracks. For example, on 'Him or Me (What's In Gonna Be)', Ry Cooder and Taj Mahal are on guitars (notice Cooder's slide), with Hal Blaine doing the main drums, and future legends Jim Gordon and Jim Keltner adding fills and other flourishes. Mark Lindsay, who penned and produced the tunes with Terry Melcher (Paul Revere didn't even bother coming to the studio, leaving matters in Mark's hands), added the 'tympani' flourishes himself by hitting the accents on a floor tom.
In January 1967 we got the two greatest double- sided singles of all- time: Ruby Tuesday/ Let's Spend the Night Together. Penny Lane/ Strawberry Fields Forever The mind boggles!😊😍
Well well well i have to admit, saw Dave Dee, Dozy and those other 3 in 1969 (?) in the Stadthalle Bremen. But what I remember is the chick I was there for.
So true. It was a reasonable hit in Australia as well but I've never once heard it on radio (mind you, I wasn't even born when the song same out). I was unaware of the song until I first the saw the film 'Privilege' in the early 1990s.
DDDBMT had only limited success in the United States probably cause they never toured here. Zabatak and Legend of Xanadu made it into the 90s on the charts in the United States, probably local hits in New York City. But they were pretty cool sounding records
I've always liked Dave Dee & company. Good, fun 60s pop music. Quentin Tarantino used their song "Hold Tight" on his film "Death Proof" from the early 2000s.
Wow, did Dave actually say Try a little Tenderness didnt go anywhere? Did he listen to the Whole song? Otis used to tear audiences to shreds when he performed that song live.
How can you whiff on the Stones, in or out of the country? He has one of the most recognizable voices ever. Try a Little Tenderness, a very great song, actually made the top 50 in the UK and in the USA it made #24 on the Billboard 100 and #4 on the R&B charts. Was lucky enough to see Otis here in NYC in Central Park and the Stones flew in to see the show. "Could it be Ike and Tina Turner? There's a male and female voice there, I heard it. Is it James Brown? It's on Tamla Motown isn't it? Sorry, I don't know. I'm a defeatist. Yes, that's it. I don't know and I'm a defeatist."' lol....that's so funny and sweet. Man, the UK top 50 was chock full of good singles in January, but nothing could unseat the mighty The Sound Of Music from #1 on the album charts. It ruled with an iron fist!! Thanks as always YP.
Thanks, Willie! The Top 50 is indeed full of great singles, so many classics there. But, of course, "The Sound of Music" is in its rightful position as number 1 on the album charts! hahaha
Art Laboe, the revered L.A. d.j. died recently at 97. He was father of the golden oldies albums and bands like ? And the mysterians, plus other pre punk garage bands, could always count on him to play their music. I don't know if he was known in Britain but he was an icon in Southern California. R.i.p. Art!
? & the Mysterians' big hit was the one linked here. With a singer looking like (yet to come) John Kay of Steppenwolf, the cheezy 'House of the Rising Sun' sounds of a Vox Continental organ, and a song that could have come from the Stones they were a surefire hit. But just once. Many years later, Smashmouth's 'Walking On the Sun' reminded us of that mid 60s American pop music aesthetic. ua-cam.com/video/R7uC5m-IRns/v-deo.html
@@YesterdaysPapers Yes, they and a couple others including Paul Revere & the Raiders (w/'Stepping Stone' and earlier tunes), Syndicate of Sound, and Shadows of Knight epitomised that 1966 'garage rock' sound, which was arguably inspired by the Yardbirds.
Today I learned Dave Dee was only one of the members , not 2, of a band who America found too silly named to buy ; and that he doesn't actually listen to music.... I have heard 0 by them, apparently not a favorite of any underground DJs on any free form stations I listen too. I'll have to check them out here on YT
The band was massive in the UK and Europe, with the likes of 'Hold Tight' and 'Hideway' making them highly accessible in non-English speaking lands thanks to clap-along beats and easily mimicked lyrics. The band's management and songwriting was the same team - Howard & Blaikley - as did the Herd, which was Peter Frampton's breakthrough band prior to him eschewing major pop star fame and forming Humble Pie, which soon included Steve Marriott, who, ironically, quit the Small Faces because the rejected his idea of having Frampton in their band (and idea that came out of Frampton joining the lads in Paris on sessions for a Johnny Hallyday album).
@@MrCherryJuice Thanks , I just heard Hold On. Yeah, I guess I did hear them before. I can hear why they were big in the UK but not the US. The stamp your feet chants never fly in the US, even in sports stadiums
Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky... were a fun pop band. I enjoy many of their hits, especially some of their earlier hits like "Hold Tight", "You Make it Move", "Hideway", etc...
@@YesterdaysPapers Yes, a fun pop band. They even did an album track titled 'Long Live the Loos of England'. They were popular at a time when bands were bands and music was music - they were part of the same scene as the Beatles and Hendrix, Lulu and the Small Faces. As far as the general public was concerned - and Britain was very much a land of radios in the 60s - good sing-a-long music was the best type of music. Hell, Jeff Beck did Hi-Ho Silver Lining!
Really! He thought Mark Lindsay's voice was Chris Farlowe? Geez, talk about missing the broad side of the barn!!! The Ike and Tina Turner guess was another shot at the barn and missing.
@@YesterdaysPapers Apparently when Dave Dee was presented to The Queen Mother at some show she remembered one of his hits and his ferocious use of the whip in the song ‘ Legend of Xanadu’ and remarked “You’re that chap with the whip!” . Perhaps this is the only known use of a whip in a hit single? She seemed to be quite up on her pop music. Just wandering if she ever did one of these singles reviews😂 Dave Dee and the band looked like given the chance they could really rock , but they were stuck playing lots of their middle of the road material . I suppose it gave them lots of hit singles in Europe. Apparently they jammed with Jimi Hendrix on one of their tours. There’s a good clip of them on the German programme ‘Beat Club’ playing ‘ Watch Your Step’.
@@lthompson7625 The story about the queen is hilarious! You're right, they released too many MOR singles. They could definitely rock if they wanted to. I love some of their early singles like "Hold Tight", "Hideaway", "You Make It Move". Great tunes and I love the fuzz guitar on those songs.
1967 was Just a great year for tunes. Plain and simple.
Too bad none of then were on this selection.

It was even adopted by the J. Giles Band for a couple of years in the early 1980s in records like "Just Can't Wait" and "Freeze Frame".
@@pcno2832 ? And the Mysterians and the Seeds that I mentioned have been classified as proto-punk. You can definitely hear their and others influence on the early punks of the 70s.
@@boomtownrat5106Sounds to me like Mr. Farmer by The Seeds.
A fabulous start to 1967. Most of these tracks are classics from the sweet baroque pop of ''Ruby Tuesday'' though to the wonderful Otis Redding treatment of "Try a Little Tenderness" and my fav from this month being Paul Jones ''Ive Been A Bad Bad Boy''.
Great song. I've always liked "I've Been A Bad Bad Boy". Very underrated tune.
@@YesterdaysPapers I was checking out the Stones 'Between The Buttons' and here's the first track lol ua-cam.com/video/cg6-YlkrQR8/v-deo.html
OMG the classics in the UK Singles chart. It's crazy! I'm making a UA-camMusic playlist out of it!😲😲😲😲
I love the rendition of "96 tears", with a little bit of "You Really Got Me" mixed in. "Good Thing" is my favorite out of the songs that were featured. "it Takes Two" is a cute song. The Stones first two hits of '67 are good but the previous year-- they had 5 blockbuster top ten hits plus a top 30 hit, "Lady Jane" in the States.
I LOVE good thing. Mark Lindsey is still active and on social media.
I like Dave Dee's "You Make it Move"
"Who wants Yesterday papers, who wants yesterday's girl"
Holy shite what a list. Imma goin' back.
As an Italian, it both amazes and perplexes me to see Rita Pavone TWICE in the British chart this week...
I used to have Ray Davies Blind Date 1965 I believe- he reviewed Ray McVie... haven't seen it here. Is there a " selection" one can go to? I can't find Stones rehearse Their Satanic Maj......LP. Thanx for all your work! Research, photos, graphics, narration, themes and Tea!
Remember taking Question Mark & the Mysterians' 96 Tears to music class early '67 , the music teacher complained it was only two chords.
Paul Revere & the Raiders.....so underestimated outside the U.S. . Must've been their silly act that kept them from being taken seriously.
In the end it was mainly Terry Melcher ,Mark Lindsay and a merry band of ace session men.
I'm stealing the name The Beat-Beach Things
At #20 The Easybeats *Aussie group, absolute LEGENDS!* "Friday On My Mind should've been on EMI's *Parlophone* label instead of the lowly United Artists label.
I love the Easybeats, great band.
Question Mark has a slew of similar high-quality songs. Good music
-Obvious Mick Jagger's voice
Oh, I don't know who it is
- Obviously NOT Ike & Tina Turner
Ike and Tina Turner? James Brown?
-Obvious John Mayall's voice
Oh!John Lee Hooker! I love him!
I thought this was the best selection of singles of all Yesterday's Papers.
As for Dave Dee; take it off.
Paul Revere and the Raiders, probably one of the greatest American bands of the 60s and their exclusion from the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame is a disgrace
And Three Dog Night
Yes, at this point there is no arguing their exclusion, especially when the likes of rappers and Dolly Parton are inducted (Dolly originally declined, noting the obvious: she's not a rocker). But those astute elitist snobs and subjectively biased authorities on the selection committee also saw fit to exclude Todd Rundgren, Deep Purple, Yes, RUSH and various other notables until fan pressure prompted them to capitulate.
To his credit, rather than attend the event to collect his award, Rundgren did a gig across town and didn't even mention the event or his win. He's not as needy as those so many others who somehow feel deserving or vindicated with their win.
When Bon Jovi made it I knew the hall had lost all credibility! When all you Jersey boys send me antagonistic responses, I'll tell you right now I won't answer!
The Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame is just a money making scam foisted on fans and artists alike.
@@paulcooper8818 True. But don't blame Jann Wenner - ironically the founder and publisher of counter culture publication Rolling Stone Magazine - and his henchmen. Blame those fans and artists who clammer for the acclaim of acknowledgement.
Yes, it is nice to be included, particularly for those who are insecure and otherwise feeling 'left out'.
My comment re: Todd Rundgren (above in this thread) highlights the reality that someone who is super-talented and comfortable with his own abilities - despite being neglected by 'music lovers' and the industry for decades - doesn't give a damn for the hero worship treatment.
The fact that he mocked himself by naming his fourth solo album - coming after the success of 'Something/Anything' - 'A Wizard, A True Star' suggested even then that he was someone whou wouldn't be suckered by the spotlight and hollow adulation.
Don't quit your day job, Dave!
The McCoys went on to record Infinite McCoys and Human Ball shortly after this, two albums that were under-rated, in my opinion. The core of the band also recorded with Johnny Winter as Johnny Winter And. Rick Derringer went on to work with Edgar Winter, too. Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo is considered a classic by many.
"Free Ride" rather ?
@@PAULLONDEN Free Ride was written by Dan Hartman.
For about a half a second I thought that was Dee Dee Ramone.
The McCoys' "I Got to Go Back" is okay, but the Otis Redding cover (under the title "Look at the Girl") is amazing.
I have no idea who Dave Dee is. I was surprised he didn’t recognize the artist on some of these, but then again he was probably hearing those songs for the first time. It is hard to imagine what it might have been like to turn on the radio and hearing Ruby Tuesday for the first time. Would I have instantly known it was the Stones? It is hard to not recognize Jagger’s voice in my opinion, but who knows.
Funny how Dave Dee only recognized Paul Jones. I like how he compares the Beatles, Beach Boys, and Ike and Tina Turner. Good Thing is my all-time favorite song by PRATR.
The Raiders did many great singles and many fine album tracks, though sadly did not amount to anything in the UK or Europe (I was living in Germany at the time). Ironically, the same musicians playing on the Beach Boys records - the so-called 'Wrecking Crew' - also did most of the Raiders tracks. For example, on 'Him or Me (What's In Gonna Be)', Ry Cooder and Taj Mahal are on guitars (notice Cooder's slide), with Hal Blaine doing the main drums, and future legends Jim Gordon and Jim Keltner adding fills and other flourishes. Mark Lindsay, who penned and produced the tunes with Terry Melcher (Paul Revere didn't even bother coming to the studio, leaving matters in Mark's hands), added the 'tympani' flourishes himself by hitting the accents on a floor tom.
"Good Thing" is also one of my favourites by Paul Revere & The Raiders. Great song.
@@YesterdaysPapers Yeah......epic production.
In January 1967 we got the two greatest double- sided singles of all- time:
Ruby Tuesday/ Let's Spend the Night Together.
Penny Lane/ Strawberry Fields Forever
The mind boggles!😊😍
96 Tears!- too easy
Well well well i have to admit, saw Dave Dee, Dozy and those other 3 in 1969 (?) in the Stadthalle Bremen. But what I remember is the chick I was there for.
Lol. Of course! That is how it is! Ha!
@@IMeMineWho
Unfortunately it did not take a good course and that it was with Dave Dee & Co. for me.
Bad Bad Boy was such a great record but was only famous in its time - it never became a Golden Oldie and it deserves to be.
So true. It was a reasonable hit in Australia as well but I've never once heard it on radio (mind you, I wasn't even born when the song same out). I was unaware of the song until I first the saw the film 'Privilege' in the early 1990s.
It's a great song. I've got the "Privilege" soundtrack on vinyl. Very cool soundtrack and a very underrated film.
4:05 DD" at nº 12..it's 'Save me' by whatsisname (is it Quackers??) ... and Tich.
DDDBMT had only limited success in the United States probably cause they never toured here. Zabatak and Legend of Xanadu made it into the 90s on the charts in the United States, probably local hits in New York City. But they were pretty cool sounding records
I've always liked Dave Dee & company. Good, fun 60s pop music. Quentin Tarantino used their song "Hold Tight" on his film "Death Proof" from the early 2000s.
Wow, did Dave actually say Try a little Tenderness didnt go anywhere? Did he listen to the Whole song? Otis used to tear audiences to shreds when he performed that song live.
amazing he nailed the mccoys but missed the stones!
How can you whiff on the Stones, in or out of the country? He has one of the most recognizable voices ever.
Try a Little Tenderness, a very great song, actually made the top 50 in the UK and in the USA it made #24 on the Billboard 100 and #4 on the R&B charts. Was lucky enough to see Otis here in NYC in Central Park and the Stones flew in to see the show. "Could it be Ike and Tina Turner? There's a male and female voice there, I heard it. Is it James Brown? It's on Tamla Motown isn't it? Sorry, I don't know. I'm a defeatist. Yes, that's it. I don't know and I'm a defeatist."' lol....that's so funny and sweet.
Man, the UK top 50 was chock full of good singles in January, but nothing could unseat the mighty The Sound Of Music from #1 on the album charts. It ruled with an iron fist!!
Thanks as always YP.
Thanks, Willie! The Top 50 is indeed full of great singles, so many classics there. But, of course, "The Sound of Music" is in its rightful position as number 1 on the album charts! hahaha
@@YesterdaysPapers Yes, "rightful position" Well put......lol
@@YesterdaysPapers Sorry mate, I forgot to shout out your 96 Tears outro. Great job. Classic song, like Louie Louie.
@@willieluncheonette5843 Thanks, Willie! Glad you dug it. Yeah, "96 Tears" is a great classic.
Art Laboe, the revered L.A. d.j. died recently at 97. He was father of the golden oldies albums and bands like ? And the mysterians, plus other pre punk garage bands, could always count on him to play their music. I don't know if he was known in Britain but he was an icon in Southern California. R.i.p. Art!
😆 First time I ever heard anything else by ? Mark & The Mysterians ! Fairly poor indeed. 😢. Goodbye Ruby Tuesday.
? & the Mysterians' big hit was the one linked here. With a singer looking like (yet to come) John Kay of Steppenwolf, the cheezy 'House of the Rising Sun' sounds of a Vox Continental organ, and a song that could have come from the Stones they were a surefire hit. But just once.
Many years later, Smashmouth's 'Walking On the Sun' reminded us of that mid 60s American pop music aesthetic.
ua-cam.com/video/R7uC5m-IRns/v-deo.html
I've always liked Question Mark & The Mysterians. Their two albums are great, fun garage rock.
@@YesterdaysPapers Yes, they and a couple others including Paul Revere & the Raiders (w/'Stepping Stone' and earlier tunes), Syndicate of Sound, and Shadows of Knight epitomised that 1966 'garage rock' sound, which was arguably inspired by the Yardbirds.
@@MrCherryJuice True.
The guitarist in the band Count Five blatantly lifted Jeff Becks solo from I'm a Man in their only hit Psychotic Reaction. Still a garage rock anthem!
Oddly, calling the Marvin Gaye duet as an Ike and Tina song is an outstanding guess.
On what recording does Ike sing like Marvin Gaye? LOL
What type of recorder did Brian use?
Was David Dee a member of der gathers?
99 tears, nice one.
We'llnever know
@@musashielmaldito6848 Sorry I shouldn’t have asked, i wasn’t asking you personally, and i’ll not ask in future incase you’re offended. You happy now?
I thought it was a soprano recorder but google has it as an alto.you can find sopranos anywhere even at garage sales for a dollar.
@@hifijohn Thank you, think i’ll go for a new one. I like your self built guitars and reverb unit.
Is the outro another one of yours?
Yep.
Not much good coming out of America at this time but Good Thing was a great single.
only cool tracks here!
Try a Little Tenderness is a genius song. Three Dog Night did a fantastic version of it, even Better than Otis Redding.
What’s the song playing at 0:12??
It's "Hold Tight" by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich.
Today I learned Dave Dee was only one of the members , not 2, of a band who America found too silly named to buy ; and that he doesn't actually listen to music.... I have heard 0 by them, apparently not a favorite of any underground DJs on any free form stations I listen too. I'll have to check them out here on YT
The band was massive in the UK and Europe, with the likes of 'Hold Tight' and 'Hideway' making them highly accessible in non-English speaking lands thanks to clap-along beats and easily mimicked lyrics. The band's management and songwriting was the same team - Howard & Blaikley - as did the Herd, which was Peter Frampton's breakthrough band prior to him eschewing major pop star fame and forming Humble Pie, which soon included Steve Marriott, who, ironically, quit the Small Faces because the rejected his idea of having Frampton in their band (and idea that came out of Frampton joining the lads in Paris on sessions for a Johnny Hallyday album).
@@MrCherryJuice Thanks , I just heard Hold On. Yeah, I guess I did hear them before. I can hear why they were big in the UK but not the US. The stamp your feet chants never fly in the US, even in sports stadiums
Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky... were a fun pop band. I enjoy many of their hits, especially some of their earlier hits like "Hold Tight", "You Make it Move", "Hideway", etc...
I grew up in New England. They were big here, Bend It was #1 on my local Top 40. Hold Tight and Zabadak were big too.
@@YesterdaysPapers Yes, a fun pop band. They even did an album track titled 'Long Live the Loos of England'.
They were popular at a time when bands were bands and music was music - they were part of the same scene as the Beatles and Hendrix, Lulu and the Small Faces. As far as the general public was concerned - and Britain was very much a land of radios in the 60s - good sing-a-long music was the best type of music. Hell, Jeff Beck did Hi-Ho Silver Lining!
Who is David Dee?
Didn't recognize John Mayall's voice?! Oh good grief Dave!
Well Dave Dee doesn't know who anyone is but that's ok cause I don't know who Dave Dee is.
Really! He thought Mark Lindsay's voice was Chris Farlowe? Geez, talk about missing the broad side of the barn!!! The Ike and Tina Turner guess was another shot at the barn and missing.
Is it review the singles or guess the artist?
Both.
Name was too long for us short attention span Americans…..🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Rita Pavone? What the hell is she doimg in the UK charts??? 😁😁😁
"beaky perché c'aveva il becco"
Who is Dave Dee anyway?
His guesses were so off that I'm wondering if they actually sent the band member "dozy" in instead as a joke...
Never heard of this guy.
They were huge in the UK and Europe and had plenty of Top 10 hits but they never made it in the States.
@@YesterdaysPapers Apparently when Dave Dee was presented to The Queen Mother at some show she remembered one of his hits and his ferocious use of the whip in the song ‘ Legend of Xanadu’ and remarked “You’re that chap with the whip!” . Perhaps this is the only known use of a whip in a hit single? She seemed to be quite up on her pop music. Just wandering if she ever did one of these singles reviews😂 Dave Dee and the band looked like given the chance they could really rock , but they were stuck playing lots of their middle of the road material . I suppose it gave them lots of hit singles in Europe. Apparently they jammed with Jimi Hendrix on one of their tours. There’s a good clip of them on the German programme ‘Beat Club’ playing ‘ Watch Your Step’.
@@lthompson7625 The story about the queen is hilarious! You're right, they released too many MOR singles. They could definitely rock if they wanted to. I love some of their early singles like "Hold Tight", "Hideaway", "You Make It Move". Great tunes and I love the fuzz guitar on those songs.
Or quite up on her whips!😁
Otis is going nowhere with Tenderness.... wow. Big miss.
@@sg-yq8pm It got to 46. Top 25 on the Billboard US charts and #4 on the R&B charts.
Sounds like Dee only reviewed the slow first part of the record before Otis really gets going into the chorus.
@@roboi2241 yes, that's what I thought too.
Poor knowledge generally speaking; from a singer in a novelty band.
96 Tears? Cry cry cry....😄👈
This guy doesn't really know the artists of his time, does he? But then I don't know who he is.
Seems like he wasn't very good at identifying voices 😄
Some great records, but Dave limits his comments to I like it, or, I don’t like it. Not the most insightful Blind Date.
