WE FINE You were on my mind REACTION

Originally written by Ian Tyson and recorded by Canadian duo Ian & Sylvia. We Five gave it the emerging folk rock treatment and had a Top 10 hit. Lead singer Bev Bivins was irrepressibly cute and bubbly. You should have chosen a live or TV performance. Thanks Unc and Harri.
Actually it was written by Sylvia Fricker - the other half of Ian & Sylvia. Ian wrote "Four Strong Winds". Good reaction Harri.
@@Spinspiel Ian Tyson recently passed away. (Dec.29/2022)
Actually written by his wife (at the time) and professional partner Sylvia Tyson. Ian did write two classics however... "Four Strong Winds", a folk classic recorded by several artists, and "Someday Soon" a pop classic also recorded by lots of artists.
@@robertpraglin965 Sylvia Fricker was her birth name. Same person.
To get AM radio airplay, We Five cut out the original lyrics in Ian & Sylvia's version about getting drunk and getting sick.
One of the things I loved about this song from the first time I heard it was the way it builds from beginning to end. Both the vocals and the guitars start out simple and increase in intensity until they just burst from the speakers at the end.
This recording comes from an era of radio airplay when an artist had 2-3 minutes to state their case and given the demanding parameters and the high level of current interest in those recordings I think that those artists succeeded brilliantly.
Great song! Love this ❤❤. Written by Sylvia (Ian and Sylvia Tyson) 🇨🇦
WE FIVE!
HARRI the drummer was a man who passed away in 2021 his name was Jerry Granelli he played with the group who played on the Charlie Brown Christmas that is why it sounds Jazzy
This is a song that brings back so many great memories. 💞
Yes I agree with you I like the sound and Hear the 60s in there and the seekers. Just an all around good song. thanks for playing.
Yes...Played all the instruments..San Fran Band
Brilliant arrangement by Michael Stewart (guy in the glasses, 2nd from left in the photo), who was the brother of John Stewart (Kingston Trio, who wrote "Daydream Believer", among others). We Five were well-respected in the folkie community, I think, but had only the one big hit. They were part of that bridge when folk music went electric. If you're destined to be a one-hit wonder, that record is a helluva great flag to plant on the folk/pop landscape; it was universally beloved by young and old.
Wow, I was just going to say there were some echoes of the Kingston Trio in the harmonies. It all fits.
I remember my Dad even liked this song back in the 60's.
Michael Stewart (1945-2002) (baritone-bass, 5-string banjo, 6-string acoustic guitar, 9-string amplified guitar)
Beverly Bivens (born 1946) (low contralto to high soprano, rhythm guitar)
Jerry Burgan (1945-2021) (tenor, 6-string acoustic guitar)
Pete Fullerton (1946-2021) (tenor, acoustic and Fender bass)
Bob Jones (1947-2013) (baritone-tenor, 6-string electric jazz guitar, 12-string electric guitar)
the drummer was Canadian drummer Jerry Granelli he played with the jazz group who did the music for Charlie Brown Christmas
Excellent opinion, i like it. I love that song and how sound.
I remember seeing them on a sixties TV show called "Where the Action Is". Paul Revere and the Raiders were regulars on the show.
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite years. Indelible memories.
We Five was one of the earliest acts signed by Herb Alpert to A&M records in 1965. This album was released in between Herb Alpert's giganticly successful Whipped Cream and Other Delights album and Going Places. It hit the charts around the same time that Herb Alpert's signature hit A Taste of Honey hit the top 10.
She has a great contralto voice
This was a fun and happy song back in the day Harri. The group was kind of folksy with great harmony and a happy vibe. A popular song and group however briefly. Believe they ( as most popular acts did ) also appeared on the Ed Sullivan show on a Sunday night.
Though I loved this song from my earlier days, I too thought The Mamas and The Papas sound came out in the music. Your right Harri they could have done this as well. Good memory!
This was the band that started the folk-rock genre. The first to use electric guitars in a "folk" band. Read the book, "Wounds to Bind"!
Thanks for the reaction! I've always loved this song. Brings back memories. ☮
I remember this song covered by Crispian St Peters. Good song
Great blast from the past Uncle Phil! Not sure where in my memory banks this was but I love it. Nice summary Harri🌺✌️
I love this song.
Funny, I saw the title and thought, "Naw, it couldn't be that song." But it's exactly the song that came to mind. Never heard this band name before.
Great song one of my favorite songs from this time. Thanks Harri! 👍
Great song. A Classic!
We Five
Always loved this song
In the summer of 1965, I spent most of my time hanging out in Daytona Beach, Florida enjoying life, and riding around in my baby blue drop-top Chevy convertible, listening to music on my AM radio. One song that brings back that time in my life is this song. As I enjoyed my life during that summer, I knew that military service would call me in August of that year. I started that summer as a carefree young boy, until August 25th when manhood called me. My government sent me an invitation to participate in a slight altercation in SE Asia. Now at age 78, when I hear this song, I harken back to that boyish summer and smile.
I love the arrangement of this cover as well as the overall performance. The build-up in intensity from the sparse, almost acapella beginning to the end really sets it apart from the original by Ian and Sylvia. As others have mentioned, the song was written by Sylvia Fricker from Ian and Sylvia in 1962, two years before she married Ian Tyson.
Great choice, Uncle Phil!
Enjoyed your reaction, Harri. In addition to the groups you mentioned, the song also reminds me of the Hollies.
Harri , I can attest to the fact that they played their own instruments. Saw them when I was in high school, shortly after this song came out. Great memories!
This was my favorite song at one point when I was around ten or eleven. Thanks for playing it. They were one hit wonders.
Uncle Phil - Thank you for introducing me to this one. I really enjoyed it as well as Harri's review. Well done!
Loved this song when it came out! Thanks for the memory.
"Spanky and Our Gang" or even "The 5th. Dimension" could have done this.
show business rule: "always leave them wanting more." that's what this song did.
Billboard Magazine ranked "You Were on My Mind" as the number 4 song of all of 1965. Is there any question that the years 1964-1967 were the best for pop music? Here is a link to the list of the 100 Hottest songs from 1965 by Billboard Magazine, for anyone who is interested. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Year-End_Hot_100_singles_of_1965
I’m so glad we’re bessstiiieeesss!!
I love this song. It's on one of my iPhone playlists.
Very Chad an d Jeremy......
I remember this!!! Thank you
Let's not forget the
Barry Mc Guire
version
that's about the only bad thing about a lot of these great songs from the 60's. way too short - radio demanded 2 1/2 to 3 minute songs. they cut up a lot of songs to fit that time frame which was really a crime imo. example : light my fire by the doors - a 7 minute song cut to under 3 minutes. in--a-gadda -da-vida - a 17 minute song cut to 2:54. yikes !
I've listened and watched this song dozens of times. Kind of an obsession. (BTW, it's We Five, not We Fine! hah) It is similar to some of The Seekers, whom I also love!
Great song! Thank you so much, Harri, for reacting to it and bringing it back to my consciousness!
The truly remarkable thing in this day of synthesizers and voice overdubbing is that this song was done LIVE, without all the artificial augmentation. I believe that their live performance on Hollywood Palace was actually better than the studio version.
Yay Uncle Phil.🙂
Yes they played the instruments.
Drummer is jerry granelli. Linus and Lucy drummer. Great drummer.
I listen to this song quite a bit
folk rock.
There are several live videos of them doing this song and yes the men in the group do play thier own instruments
Great one-hit wonder choice, Harri, and an astute reaction with your comparison the the other folk-rock groups you mentioned. This group's vocal harmonies and killer rock beat was off the charts impressive. Bev Bevin's voice and stage presence was so pleasing and she could sing with the best of her contemporary female rock vocalists from the era.
Love love love this song. I always thought it had the potential to be remade as a hard rock song, maybe Joan Jett-style.
I was 14when this came out! Played the holy neck out of it that summer! 💖😎🍻🍀💚💖😁😁
A 1960s San Francisco Garage Band
Great song! Check out the videos. They were fun.
Harri. You should check out the We Five's original version of "Let's Get Together", later done by The Youngbloods. An entirely different take on the song.
This is the first song ever written by Sylvia Fricker in 1961 (later to become Sylvia Tyson when she married Ian). Ian and Sylvia recorded it in 1963, 2 years before We Five released their mangled version. We Five murdered the words and the melody. So I love Ian and Sylvia's elegant version and detest We Five's mangled offering that eliminated some of the most important original lyrics of this song.
it's folk rock
It's got an interesting contrast between the melancholy lyrics and an upbeat arrangement that has a little of the Byrds and a little Jan & Dean influence. The Ian and Sylvia original, written by Sylvia in a bathtub she was using to escape the cockroaches in their Grenwich Village room, was great, but not accessible enough to reach such a wide audience. The We Five brought it to the masses.
PS: Crispien St. Peters offered his own unique take on this to a British audience.

Is it me, or does Bev sound a little like Grace Slick?
Yes, they played the instruments....except the lead singer.
You need to do "Action" by Streetheart
Still would like you to react to Masquerade by the Carpenters.
They played their own instruments, but I believe the drummer was a session drummer, as they were a folk band in transition from acoustic to electric instruments and hadn't gotten a drummer yet. Personally, speaking as a drummer of 40+ years, I think the session drummer on this track overplays way too much. He's all over the kit, showing off his technical chops, but he's not really playing the song. Folk-rock of the 60s generally required a Ringo-type drummer to keep the beat and play a few fills in the right spots. The drum part on this track seems like one endless fill.
he was a session drummer named Jerry Granelli
Not to be annal but, it’s We FIVE, not We FINE.
Better You hear the original by Chrispian St. Peters. It's better and was a real hit.
----original ???we five--1965...st peters 1966
@@FunkyMarcel Ian and Sylvia 1963.
Um, the We Five version was a , "Real" hit too.
Hal Blaine on the drums? Anybody know for sure?
have you ever reacted to ian and sylvia?
Yeah, Harry, it WAS over too quickly, but that was AM radio in the day of the three minute song.
