I'm 60 years old & this is the first time I've ever seen a video with them singing this song!! Man they don' t make music like this anymore the 70's & 80's was the best music ever!!
Not only have I never seen them in a video, but at 67, I think I haven't heard this since sometime in the 20th Century. Song just started 'n gotta go back to it....
Uh, well . . .this was NEVER a top notch group. Maybe at the Elks Club youth dance, but never anywhere else. Still, a catchy little AM toe tapper, I agree.
@@snoops5581 He died in 1994 at the age of 48. My wife and I are in our mid 60s and we always follow this music. And yes he did die far too young. Yet we are so fortunate that his Memory is kept alive through the music 🎶 as with So many other others. PS Love ❤️ your songs of the 70s playlist.
This is the kind of vocals you don't hear today. Good low tenor, male sounding lead with nice harmonies. These were the vocal sounds of the 60s and 70s.
Goodness!!! This makes me feel like the 70s flower child that I was!!! There will never be another era like this…. And was Dan Hamilton gorgeous or what??? Those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end…
We'd sing and dance for forever and a day.. We'd lead the life we choose, we'd fight and never lose... Those were the days, oh yes... Those were the days..😮😊😅😂🎉❤❤
Dan Hamilton lived a few streets away in our little town in Washington. He used to bully my brother in high school. 😀 My brother remembers "Danny" as a football player, but according to the yearbook his only extracurricular was choir. Then Dan dropped out of school, took his guitar to California and less than a decade later was recording this hit.
wow what a great story. Danny went to California to play with the Beach Boys, but he was late for the tour. He stayed with his brother Judd and at the age of 16 composed the million-selling hit in Japan Diamond Head, from The Ventures. then he joined the avantis and toured with the Beach Boys, then joined T-Bones with his brother. They toured Japan and when they returned they formed Hamilton Joe Frank & Reynolds. wow, I must say I envy you for meeting Danny in person! He will forever be my greatest platonic love, he was incredible 😍❤
Dan was much better than Presley. He was an actual ARTIST who wrote his OWN songs, had his own style, composed his work, wrote the lyrics and performed the song with better voice control. He didn't need to copy anyone else like Presley had a bad tendency to do going back to his early days and forward. Dan was his own man and his talent was more than enough to lay claim to his own VERY respected place in music history.
I stopped at Shop Rite on the way to work yesterday morning and this song was playing on the loudspeakers...I was singing along with this amazing tune when I noticed several other shoppers and employees were doing the same thing...all middle-aged men... this made me realize...yeah buddy, you're a boomer.
I invite you to my channel to listen to many more songs by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds. If you search for the playlist 'the best of HJF&R/D', you'll find all their music there.
Hamilton was the next Elvis. Sadly He died so young from Cushing's syndrome ( basically glands that create too much cortisol ) People who have this condition usually skinny arms and legs and a round extended stomach similar to a beer belly. I knew someone in Canada that worked with Dan and he spoke how the music industry tried to hide his illness by having him wear clothes that hid his girth in the stomach area. He was a beautiful man and a good man I was told. Screw the music industry Dan. You were beautiful inside and out. May you rest in peace and know that We fans loved you. Sadly, It was a stroke that took his life which was a complication from his disease. I can only imagine how big a star Dan would have become. It breaks my heart,
Disse tudo!e eu, que SÓ há +- um mês que descobri ( por acaso) que ele tinha partido assim, tão precocemente😔...tanto talento , lindo ...mas , ficam as suas músicas que serão sempre eternas 😍😍😍
Agree with you , I think his voice would have take him to the top of the charts, and to this day I feel sad that such a fine young man is gone from us, loved his voice
Hearing this song after all these years. Is what brought me here it was one of my favorite songs. Thank You so much for breaking everything all down. About what happened to Dan. I didn't even know he was gone😭😭.l will always love him and his beautiful voice. Gone But Never Forgotten 🕊️🕊️🕊️💔💔💔⭐⭐
This is one of those songs that only Dan Hamilton could have pulled off to the maximum desired effect among listeners. He had the winning formula - the right voice, a catchy hook and a memorable melody. Add to this his rock star rugged looks, personality and virtuoso musicianship and you have close to perfection as can be. Even after so many years that Dan released this song (early 70s), it still generates airplay worldwide. I cannot see any of today's songs having the same impact and longevity.
He was a complete and perfect musician. And yet, so underrated. Dan taught us that being discreet and humble in the world of music is a path to oblivion, but he also taught us that true music can withstand the test of time and become an eternal work of art. Perhaps the world doesn't know how to appreciate Danny as he deserves and confuses him with mere cmediatic of the era, but his music is the true art and will never be forgotten.
Too bad there isn't a live video of the younger ones... still there is another video of falling in love, and, winners and losers live in 1975. Danny was a beautiful man
@@kurttrimas9005 Here is a video I made to honor Dan's memory on his birthday. He was a great musician, very underrated. Not only did he have a beautiful dramatic tenor voice that he could soften and darken at will, but since the early 60s, at just 15 years old, he was an excellent guitarist and composer. He was a backup guitarist for great musicians like The Ventures, for whom he wrote several hits like "Diamond Head" and "Escape." He also played for Jerry Lee Lewis, Chad & Jeremy, Johnny Rivers, The Beach Boys, and in recording studios with Leon Russell, David Gates, Danny Whitten, Pat and Lolly Vegas, and The Beach Boys' drummer. This man was a pioneer of Californian surf music and sang and played the best Soft Rock of the 70s. His music was so clean, and he and his bandmates also worked on the arrangements for all their records. They were musicians in every sense of the word. In this link, I made a video with my favorite songs composed by Dan. Unfortunately, despite being a serious musician, fate brought a chronic illness of 1 case in a million his way. At that time, it took a while to diagnose him, and his body couldn't overcome the illness. He left us at 48 years old, with a lifetime of music ahead of him, as he loved playing so much that he did so until his last days. 💔💖 czcams.com/video/dsDODhrViW0/video.htmlsi=qFC1H7v0KhAIUkXg
I'm 62-yrs-old ,and I NEVER tire hearing these songs that were such a huge part of my teen and young adult years! There are so many bittersweet memories. As a teenager, I never thought I'd age! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 And yet...here I am!

I'm 72 and it blows my mind that the oldest member of this group is 10 years older than I almost to the day and is now EIGHTY TWO. Dan was only 3 years younger than I, so he was about 24 when he recorded this and I loved it when it came out and I love it today. Such a shame he died so young; great voice, great songwriter. The whole group was eye candy too.
I loved this song as a kid. I never knew that Dan Hamilton was so gorgeous. I just found out that he is no longer with us. I am so sad about that. He had a beautiful voice and face to match. It's still One of my favorite songs today in 2022.
Poor Dan Hamilton. He deserved a longer life and a better ending to it. Still he is immortalized here and on his other hit "Falling In Love. RIP and thanks for the great times!
Yes.. it's very sad when someone passes at an early age.. but Bible tells us absent from the body, present with the lord... I doubt very much Dan Hamilton if he had the choice would much rather be with his heavenly father in paradise.. wouldn't you? I would.. Jac
I really love this song, and HAMILTON 's voice was the BOMB. This song brings back good memories of my teen years. Listening to him sing makes you wish you could turn back time.❤❤
It can never be Debbie sadly ..... as a group they disbanded 43 years ago, and then Dan died ..... the two remaining members then went their separate ways.
Dan Hamilton, 48 (musician) Wikipedia Daniel Robert Hamilton (June 1, 1946 - December 23, 1994) was an American musician and singer. He was a member of The T-Bones with his brother Judd Hamilton and later formed the soft-rock group Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds, performing lead vocals on the band's two biggest hits, "Don't Pull Your Love" and "Fallin' in Love". He was also a composer who, in addition to co-writing "Fallin' in Love", was the sole songwriter for the Ventures hit song "Diamond Head". Hamilton died on December 23, 1994, at the age of 48 of complications from Cushing's syndrome. RIP Dan Hamilton!!
Where all my fellow 50 year old fans at? I'm seeing so many comments of those lucky enough to go dancing or make out at "The Point" to this song but I was just a toddler when this song was becoming a classic. So glad I had cool young parents at the time that listened to awesome music. Gave me their 70's music so I love that as much as my 80's Brit pop and R&B as well as my hair bands and metal. I'm all over the board with what genres I love but tunes like this will ALWAYS hold a place in my heart!
2023 still rockin! Don't pull your love out on me, baby If you do, then I think that maybe I'll just lay me down, cry for a hundred years Don't pull your love out on me, honey Take my heart, my soul, my money But don't leave me here drowning in my tears You say you're gonna leave, gonna take that big white bird, Gonna fly right out of here without a single word But you know you'll break my heart when I watch you close that door Cause I know I won't see you anymore Don't pull your love out on me, baby If you do, then I think that maybe I'll just lay me down, cry for a hundred years Don't pull your love out on me, honey Take my heart, my soul, my money But don't leave me here drowning in my tears Haven't I been good to you, what about that brand new ring? Doesn't that mean love to you, doesn't that mean anything? If I threw away my pride and I got down on my knees, Would you make me beg you "pretty please"? Don't pull your love out on me, baby If you do, then I think that maybe I'll just lay me down, cry for a hundred years Don't pull your love out on me, honey Take my heart, my soul, my money But don't leave me here drowning in my tears There's so much I want to do I've got love enough for two And I'll never use it, girl, if I don't have you
I have always loved this song but never saw the band's pictures. I just stumbled across this video by accident. Such a handsome great singer. I feel bad that he has passed. What a voice!.
My wife and I seen this video and I never knew who sang the song! We are turning 60 well I'm 62 and she is turning 60, and we both looked at each other and at the same time we said they don't make music or songs like that anymore!! For the last 25 years, everything is total shit we are so grateful we grew up in the 70s and the 80s!!! We are grateful our children listen to the same music we did! Keep playing videos like this it brings back such great memories! Thank You 😊
@@scottvidmar913 It sounds so much like Elvis, he would have probably had a good hit with it --- but Don sings it just right for sure. It's one of the songs that reached #1 on my charts, then reached #1 again many years later. This song ONLY reached #4 on the national charts.
I invite you to my channel to listen to many more songs by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds. If you search for the playlist 'the best of HJF&R/D', you'll find all their music there.❤
If anyone noticed Joe Reynolds' name didn't come up, he had left the group in 1972 but they continued with the same name. Alan Dennison joined the group in 1973 but it wasn't until 1976 that they changed their name to Hamilton, Joe Frank, and Dennison. They disbanded permanently in 1980.
A time when all band members like steely dan etc actually studied at juliard (i read dan had published music by the time he was a teenager) so my opinion….they made music amd lived life , vs the mktg machine pace and the “artists” Who are often drawn to it like social media influencers as a means to the fame versus the Pham coming as a result of the music being the draw just kind of a different way you know I’m not saying that people didn’t get wrapped up and being stars and then things went different directions but as a post to social media influencers that are trying to make something out of nothing instead of something happening because of your talent or draw to music and then it evolves organically or at least not the cart before the horse if that makes any sense
There were a number of groups around this time that had the same thing going on. One...two top 10 songs and then nothing. Just works like that sometimes.
I am 11 years old and I love this song, sad to here that Dan Hamilton passed away and my 62 year old grandpa loves this to. Long live Hamilton, Joe frank and Reynolds
One of those all time classic boyfriend and girlfriend love songs. One doesn't hear or experience this kind music or emotion in today's music. A true classic.
I was an on-air disc jockey from 1978 to 1990 at an AM (eventually also an FM) station and would occasionally get a request for the ELVIS song, "Don't Pull Your Love", and I would have to explain to them that it was NOT an Elvis song. Most people did not believe me and, honestly, I can't blame them. If you close your eyes and picture Elvis while listening to this 70's classic, it ALMOST, oh so close, sounds like THE KING singing! How I wish he had done a cover of this song, I just know it would have been AMAZING! In any case, this is a perfect, 1970's, pop CLASSIC!
Danny had a voice a thousand times better than Elvis. they are incomparable. Elvis was a performer and a dancer... but he was not a musician. Dan Hamilton was a Composer, excellent guitar player and an amazing vocalist, a complete "Musician".
Elvis Presley was OKAY. But the truth is he was a COVER artist not a musician. Out of 700 songs he recorded, over 540 plus were covers, the rest being written for him. He could not write, compose or create a sound anywhere close to the gems Dan a REAL ARTIST was capable of creating. Presley was also had a very bad habit of copying other vocalists singing styles in particular Jimmy Sweeney and total vocal plagiarizing of Roy Hamiltons ballad style in the 60s. Dan was his own man. Had a perfect Male low tenor voice with the kind of strength and easy beauty you can't teach. He didn't need to copy anyone. He wrote, composed and played instrument on his OWN work. In truth he wasn't the next Elvis. Dan was HIMSELF and that was MORE than enough.
@@c.ostriker5572 Without a doubt, Dan Hamilton was an incredible "musician," through and through. He achieved his successes solely through his sheer effort and that of his bandmates; nothing was handed to him, he wasn't chosen to be a Teen Idol. Despite years of hard work, instrumental compositions, backing other guitarists on tours, opening for famous bands, and session work, he only tasted his first success at 25. It was so fleeting that he had to give his all to compose a dozen songs in a year, selling equipment to record demos and visiting numerous record labels until his work was accepted-a journey that resulted in a number 1 spot on the Billboard and a Gold record. All achieved through hard work without putting on a "show" or courting controversies. Always grounded, reserved, and worthy of his immense talent.

I was just a kid listening to this great music. Went to bed, woke up and now I'm 65. I want a do-over!!
The same thing happened to me and the number was 75 ! Yikers !!
Me too!!!! I'm 54, and I'm gonna lay me down and crap for 100 years!!!!😂❤😊
We are all in good company when it comes to that.
I'm also 65 and grew up with the songs from the BEST era of music, the 70's
And I'm 80!!! Brings back memories of the best years of my life.....
You have to love how CZcams is the closest thing to a time machine we have. ❤🎵
We don't search for old songs, we search for old memories! 😘
The Internet, and CZcams, are such brilliant tools to have ....... I spend half my life just listening to music on them now.
So true love utube
Not just memories, the feelings that these songs inspired.
Amen!
You tube a Time Machine? Yes, but you ain’t seen nothing yet. Technology 10 years from now will blow you away.
I'm 60 years old & this is the first time I've ever seen a video with them singing this song!! Man they don' t make music like this anymore the 70's & 80's was the best music ever!!
I totally agree. Fun times I wish I could go back and dance the night away.
Agreed. 😇❤️
Koooooool 😎🐨🦘👍🏼💋
Not only have I never seen them in a video, but at 67, I think I haven't heard this since sometime in the 20th Century. Song just started 'n gotta go back to it....
Amen brother!
52 years later and I STILL love this song!
Yes ❤️
Played this in 1973,first girlfriend. I was 8 years old .still listening. 😂
I still love it too! 🙂
Me too
Batman brought me here lol
Im 66 years old this was a top notch group. I still listen to them and this is 2024
Uh, well . . .this was NEVER a top notch group. Maybe at the Elks Club youth dance, but never anywhere else. Still, a catchy little AM toe tapper, I agree.
Still listening in 2024! Just went into the you tube "rabbit hole" of 60's music and couldn't be happier to hear it all again!
“Oldies But Goodies” and still people listen today.
The “rabbit hole”! So true! I’m 69 today and reliving the oldies!
I'm 67 years old and still loving this music.
I'm 65 and feel the same!
One of the greatest songs of all time. They don't make em like that anymore.
It instantly takes me back to the summertime and listening to the radio. Love it ❤
Man! I am 66 and this song still moves me like it did when it came out. Absolutely love it and the singers.
I've just tuned 67, and i feel exactly the same way as you ..... I've never stopped loving this great song.
me too, i'm 65
You are so right. This has been a really meaningful song for me. Man oh man, did we grow up with terrific music!
I'm 73. It still has 'that' feeling, meaning. What quality!@@laurafoote214
I’m 67!! Still love it!
Dan Hamilton's vocals were great...He should have been a major star...This is a clip from their early 80s "Solid Gold" appearance...
I think he died pretty young
It's a nice video bcuz you can see them but this is not a "live" performance but rather lip synching.

"Thank You...Thank You Very Much".....
@@snoops5581Yes he is. My contemporary June 2,1946
This is the kind of vocals you don't hear today. Good low tenor, male sounding lead with nice harmonies. These were the vocal sounds of the 60s and 70s.
Everything is auto tuned nowadays. I like to hear raw voices even if it's not perfect. There's a few newer groups I listen to like the struts.
this song has a elvis feel to it i say its pretty amaaaazing if i say..
@@werearethedreamteam3724 Actually, I never noticed that, but I think you’re right- it kind of does!👍
I save this song Don’t Pull Your Love one in particular kind of Song I love it!🎶🎶🎶(1/3/‘23)
Yes, men singers don't sound masculine anymore!
RIP Dan Hamilton. Such an underrated band.
Indeed they were .....
this was me and my wifes song RIP sweetheart love ya
Ah Bro, so sorry. We all love her too!
She must've been beautiful -real sorry man
so sorry Richard, we'll all be together again-------------------------count on it !!
Your First Class Richard.
Keep Punchin !

Hamilton had an amazing voice.

Nobody sings as well as all those seventy singers like Dan. He's got the sexiest voice.
Dan was a treasure and good looking too! The vocals were so harmonizing and the music was superb
We'd sing and dance for forever and a day..
We'd lead the life we choose, we'd fight and never lose...
Those were the days, oh yes...

It's really sad that no one is making new music like this anymore.

Indeed.
This could've been a "Vegas Era" Elvis tune, easily.
Reportedly the song was written with Elvis in mind to record it so the producers had it interpreted that way.
he does sound like Elvis
Agreed 😍
That Elvis sound...always thought that was him, in disguise.
An American classic!🌹

Sadly those days are gone folks. ( 60s 70s 80s 90s ) 😢
,
The future has a difficult time competing with the past...
Now were in the age of weirdos
I loved this song as a kid. I never knew that Dan Hamilton was so gorgeous. I just found out that he is no longer with us. I am so sad about that. He had a beautiful voice and face to match. It's still One of my favorite songs today in 2022.
@ Crystal Freeman I agree with you. Dan Hamilton was really handsome and his voice matched his looks. Very sad that he was taken way too soon.
Yes,he was very handsome😍 I didn't know he passed until I read your comment. RIP
One of the best songs of all time.
lol, big call , great song but it was up against some heavyweights from that 70s era, great video though
These guys were better than they got credit. Great sounds
I couldn't name another song of theirs
The sound of the summer of 1971..huge song.
Totally agree, and whilst this great song did really well in America, it sadly never got the recognition it deseved over here in the UK.
those horns just take it over the top for me...great song
@@barryh.4220 it did in the winter of 71 in Australia, I have loved this song since I was a 6 year old kid.
Was in AIT at Fort Knox Kentucky. Armor training. Remember it well!
I was 6 you, and walked to the drugstore with money my mom gave me and bought this 45. The 1st record I bought.
Damn, they were hot, I loved them and I was 14 in 1971,great, innocent times!!!
For everyone coming here in 2024, this is the first time hearing this and I heard it on Batman and it's my favorite song.
Love to hear that!
Great music in a time when the world somewhat made sense.
So true , great times back then.
We were young 🤫
Poor Dan Hamilton. He deserved a longer life and a better ending to it. Still he is immortalized here and on his other hit "Falling In Love. RIP and thanks for the great times!
Yes.. it's very sad when someone passes at an early age.. but Bible tells us absent from the body, present with the lord... I doubt very much Dan Hamilton if he had the choice would much rather be with his heavenly father in paradise.. wouldn't you? I would.. Jac
He was one gorgeous man....❤
When I was I kid. I thought this was Elvis. But we only had AM radio. Great song
Danny ❤ the best musician ever ❤
Dan Hamilton is gorgeous! Could watch him sing all day long!
Hello Susan, How are you doing?
Me too. I was so in love with him 😊
He does have a nice mullet.
@@liamroberts9047 Go away creeper. This isn’t a dating site.
I was born in the late fall of 1978! Amazing Recording! Amazing Song! Amazing Video!
Summer 1971! The best of the best!
I saw and met them in person when I was a teenager. I just loved them. I'm now 59
I really love this song, and HAMILTON 's voice was the BOMB. This song brings back good
memories of my teen years. Listening to him sing makes you wish you could turn back time.❤❤
Yes-strong memories fr/JrHigh when we moved away.
Danny Hamilton had one of my favorite voices in rock history.
this is so true
I am right there with you. I would not mind going back to this time.
@LG Absolutely! Takes me right back to 14 years old in 1971 and I'd go back right now.
I am 64 years old and this song brings back alot of memories good ones would love to see them in concert ❤️
It can never be Debbie sadly ..... as a group they disbanded 43 years ago, and then Dan died ..... the two remaining members then went their separate ways.
Little FOSS and Big Halsey, man they make a winning team! (Johnny Cash)
😞So sad...@@barryh.4220

Great Song Great Recording! Great Vocalizations and Orchestrations! Great Band!
Where all my fellow 50 year old fans at? I'm seeing so many comments of those lucky enough to go dancing or make out at "The Point" to this song but I was just a toddler when this song was becoming a classic. So glad I had cool young parents at the time that listened to awesome music. Gave me their 70's music so I love that as much as my 80's Brit pop and R&B as well as my hair bands and metal. I'm all over the board with what genres I love but tunes like this will ALWAYS hold a place in my heart!
Sane same!
And bout to turn 47 (so close enough; , mom was 30 when she had me in 76 and dad was 40, so older parents)
I’m 59! Thought o was the youngest on here! For once! Hahaha. Great song.
私が中学生だった頃、放課後１人廊下を歩いていたら、校内放送でこの曲が流れてきて、なんて素晴らしい曲だと感激しました、今もこの曲を聴くと、あの時と同じ感激、感動で涙が出てきます。
Such a shame he died at such a young age. Extremely talented & very handsome.
Love Dan Hamilton!
We miss you Dan Hamilton !!
2023 still rockin!
Don't pull your love out on me, baby If you do, then I think that maybe I'll just lay me down, cry for a hundred years Don't pull your love out on me, honey Take my heart, my soul, my money But don't leave me here drowning in my tears You say you're gonna leave, gonna take that big white bird, Gonna fly right out of here without a single word But you know you'll break my heart when I watch you close that door Cause I know I won't see you anymore Don't pull your love out on me, baby If you do, then I think that maybe I'll just lay me down, cry for a hundred years Don't pull your love out on me, honey Take my heart, my soul, my money But don't leave me here drowning in my tears Haven't I been good to you, what about that brand new ring? Doesn't that mean love to you, doesn't that mean anything? If I threw away my pride and I got down on my knees, Would you make me beg you "pretty please"? Don't pull your love out on me, baby If you do, then I think that maybe I'll just lay me down, cry for a hundred years Don't pull your love out on me, honey Take my heart, my soul, my money But don't leave me here drowning in my tears There's so much I want to do I've got love enough for two And I'll never use it, girl, if I don't have you
5.
I'VE HEARD FOR YEARS, NEVER SEEN THEIR FACES.
I have always loved this song but never saw the band's pictures. I just stumbled
across this video by accident. Such a handsome great singer. I feel bad that he has passed. What a voice!.
Hahahaha no doubt. Heard the song a million times and couldn’t pick these guys out of a lineup. Three tv stations and no google
RIP Dan. Thank you for leaving this great song.
I'm 65 and still love this song, another example of why the 70's had the BEST music!!
My wife and I seen this video and I never knew who sang the song! We are turning 60 well I'm 62 and she is turning 60, and we both looked at each other and at the same time we said they don't make music or songs like that anymore!! For the last 25 years, everything is total shit we are so grateful we grew up in the 70s and the 80s!!! We are grateful our children listen to the same music we did! Keep playing videos like this it brings back such great memories! Thank You 😊
I could have sworn it was Elvis Presley!!
Folks, This is what real Music sounds like. Not the CRAP they push down our throats today. Where di those days go ?? Jim
R.I.P Dan Hamilton 🥺💔
im 24 years stil listen this song❤
His voice is just so incredible! ❤️
Yes It was and he was good looking and he is still miss.
Sounds like Elvis at times
@@scottvidmar913 It sounds so much like Elvis, he would have probably had a good hit with it --- but Don sings it just right for sure. It's one of the songs that reached #1 on my charts, then reached #1 again many years later. This song ONLY reached #4 on the national charts.
I mean, Dan, not Don.
@@cherylcollard5200 Yes, he was. What a cutie.
75 y/o and Still Lovin' the Music of the 70s‼️😸❤️
I invite you to my channel to listen to many more songs by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds. If you search for the playlist 'the best of HJF&R/D', you'll find all their music there.❤
I remember listening to this song during my US Army Basic Training & AIT in May thru December 1971
If anyone noticed Joe Reynolds' name didn't come up, he had left the group in 1972 but they continued with the same name. Alan Dennison joined the group in 1973 but it wasn't until 1976 that they changed their name to Hamilton, Joe Frank, and Dennison. They disbanded permanently in 1980.
How did these guys not have more hits? They tick every box for being bona fide super stars.
They had "Fallin' in Love" in 1975.
A time when all band members like steely dan etc actually studied at juliard (i read dan had published music by the time he was a teenager) so my opinion….they made music amd lived life , vs the mktg machine pace and the “artists” Who are often drawn to it like social media influencers as a means to the fame versus the Pham coming as a result of the music being the draw just kind of a different way you know I’m not saying that people didn’t get wrapped up and being stars and then things went different directions but as a post to social media influencers that are trying to make something out of nothing instead of something happening because of your talent or draw to music and then it evolves organically or at least not the cart before the horse if that makes any sense
There were a number of groups around this time that had the same thing going on. One...two top 10 songs and then nothing. Just works like that sometimes.
There was a lot of stiff competition back then!
I’m 23. I’m young. But. Goodness gracious. This is one my most favorite songs. 70’s and 80’s music is AMAZING. I love it
Parabéns, você tem bom gosto 👏👏👏
You have great tastes David ..... there is nothing around musically today that can even compete with songs as good as this.
If only people would appreciate music like this nowadays. This right here is real music, not some kind of heavy bass with lyrics you can’t understand
One of the best pop singers ever!
Hamilton Joe Frank and Reynolds were one of the best bands ever still sounds in 2023 great memories forever
I like this…from Batman and Harley Quinn cartoon.great song👍🏾
I always thought Dan Hamilton had the sweetest voice.
Great oldie! ❤️
I am 11 years old and I love this song, sad to here that Dan Hamilton passed away and my 62 year old grandpa loves this to.
Long live Hamilton, Joe frank and Reynolds
I heard this song at my Dad's Indian Bingo casino and fell in love with it! These guys were so yummy! I was 9 years old- now I'm 60!!!😍
Love this song , they are very handsome guys.
If you close your eyes, you wouldn't know that's Dan Hamilton singing he sounds just like Elvis Presley.
One of those all time classic boyfriend and girlfriend love songs. One doesn't hear or experience this kind music or emotion in today's music. A true classic.
What a voice! Real!! Beautiful! Alot of so called cheap talent today are just good looking and well Don t deserve fame
I was an on-air disc jockey from 1978 to 1990 at an AM (eventually also an FM) station and would occasionally get a request for the ELVIS song, "Don't Pull Your Love", and I would have to explain to them that it was NOT an Elvis song. Most people did not believe me and, honestly, I can't blame them. If you close your eyes and picture Elvis while listening to this 70's classic, it ALMOST, oh so close, sounds like THE KING singing! How I wish he had done a cover of this song, I just know it would have been AMAZING! In any case, this is a perfect, 1970's, pop CLASSIC!
Danny had a voice a thousand times better than Elvis. they are incomparable. Elvis was a performer and a dancer... but he was not a musician. Dan Hamilton was a Composer, excellent guitar player and an amazing vocalist, a complete "Musician".
@@serlestial9085THANK YOU 🤝👏👏👏👏
Elvis Presley was OKAY. But the truth is he was a COVER artist not a musician. Out of 700 songs he recorded, over 540 plus were covers, the rest being written for him. He could not write, compose or create a sound anywhere close to the gems Dan a REAL ARTIST was capable of creating. Presley was also had a very bad habit of copying other vocalists singing styles in particular Jimmy Sweeney and total vocal plagiarizing of Roy Hamiltons ballad style in the 60s. Dan was his own man. Had a perfect Male low tenor voice with the kind of strength and easy beauty you can't teach. He didn't need to copy anyone. He wrote, composed and played instrument on his OWN work. In truth he wasn't the next Elvis. Dan was HIMSELF and that was MORE than enough.
@@c.ostriker5572 Without a doubt, Dan Hamilton was an incredible "musician," through and through. He achieved his successes solely through his sheer effort and that of his bandmates; nothing was handed to him, he wasn't chosen to be a Teen Idol. Despite years of hard work, instrumental compositions, backing other guitarists on tours, opening for famous bands, and session work, he only tasted his first success at 25. It was so fleeting that he had to give his all to compose a dozen songs in a year, selling equipment to record demos and visiting numerous record labels until his work was accepted-a journey that resulted in a number 1 spot on the Billboard and a Gold record. All achieved through hard work without putting on a "show" or courting controversies. Always grounded, reserved, and worthy of his immense talent.
america has Alwayz loved your music!
Im 62 and this was one of my favorite songs!
Never gets old. Love it.
SUCH A CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was my very first 45 purchase!!
These guys were really popular when I was growing up I'm now 63 and never get tired of their songs was born in 1960
