Love this song. I remember listening to this cruising in my 65' Cyclone in the wild years before I went to 'Nam in 70.
I love it. I'm a little partial to the Pittsburgh Electrons version back in 67, but love this two. Great song and band.
I GREW UP WITH THIS. I LOVE IT. THEY DON'T SING ANYMORE.
Them boys and lady can sing! 👌
❤this is just beautiful!
An absolute Northern Soul Stomper in the UK. This is a superb performance.
It's an absolute gem isn't it...pure joy...in headphones it's something else !
One of the best groups and songs that I never heard before.
His voice is unbelievable!
Man what memories from The Pines at Royal Pines the summer of 1967. Spontanes were there very often and the show was always awesome. RIP Ronnie Owenby.

Simply fab, done justice to the original by the radionics, where around next year will be 60 years since the track was created, a movie slot will not be out of place?

Was that Bill Stewart on the saxophone in the back row?
No, Rick. Saxophones (L-R): Ed Crotts, bari; Eddie Blair, tenor; & John Alexander on alto.
Are they still performing?
Sadly no, Neil. Wish it were so; this was a special reunion event that brought many of the former bandmates back together for a for charity event.
@@BlueRidgeEd Thank you for your reply, what a great night this seems to have been.
@@BlueRidgeEd this was one of my favorite songs in my high school day's early 80s in Richmond California.
We all dressed up like we were still living in the 40s 50s 60's 70's
