I realize today this would not be looked favorably on, but I loved it when it first came out and I was only 13 years old then. I still like the song for the music and style after all these years, and yes it is on my playlist on my phone.
I remember sitting in the dentist waiting room and hearing Jack Jones singing this song in the mid 60’s. This song was so cool and smooth but evokes bittersweet memories.
I am having the fondest memory of my parents headed out for a night in the city in the late 60's! My dad's Cadillac shined to the hilt and my folks dressed to the nines!
I guess all of you guys are either virgins or maybe you never met a real woman. You are all so sad. Get back to your mom's basement. She has a burger with fries and melted cheese waiting for you
I've heard this many times, but only recently REALLY paid attention to the lyrics. My thought was, "No wonder celebrities marriages don't last long!" I just checked...Jack Jones has been married SIX times! :D
Maybe his marriage didn't last because he married feminists instead of women? We younger women are so sick of feminism and running back to the old songs and old ways.
My parents had this album and played it often - along with their Herb Alpert and Tijuana Brass albums. All of it's stood the test of time, but some of these particular lyrics haven't aged well.
It’s funny but it’s kind of sad that so many women have a problem being a woman! They can be strong, sexy, and independent, self-sufficient and still be women. Shitty time we’re living in
Hola Amigo's, just to say that at least one of our greatest artists is still with us, Jack Jones, what a great performer, I must have been to 20 concerts over as many years, & met him on several occasions, just a great guy, & an even greater singer, not many left I'm afraid. Hasta luego TJR Canary Islands.
Unmistakably Burt Bacharach and Hal David. The recording by Jack Jones earned the 1964 Grammy Award for Best Vocal Performance (Male) and peaked at number fourteen on the Hot 100.

I have his cd, i was listening to this song while having dinner over my parents, it's a shame we don't have singers like this anymore, nowadays all we hear is nonsense from kanye, cardi b, Meagan thee stalion. Etc.
@@cheekyminey1 you waited this long to reply? Ok, but i think Michael buble is more up your alley, I'll just listening to sabrina carpenter, the rascals, Dionne Warwick etc, ....
I grew up in the sixties and Jack Jones was kind of alongside Sinatra in his choice of material. In an era of longhair bands singing protest and love songs, Jones was always waiting in the wings with a good, traditional, American standard big band song, be it old or new. I always loved his voice - so clear and... middle American sounding with his un-New York accent. He pronounces the letter 'r', which most singers avoid. For instance, Sinatra would pronounce 'lovers' as 'lovahs', but not Jack Jones (thank goodness). I loved The Race is On and always thought it was a weird but clever song. I mean, comparing romance to a horse race is pretty interesting. He "sells" the song perfectly with his clean delivery, perfect pitch and diction. Now I want to listen to one of his albums.
Hola 2011 little guy, nice to hear from another fan of Jack Jones, I have a pretty good selection of his material, including ( at the last count, some 25 vinyl long players,) great selection, if I had to select my favourite, it would have to be' Bread Winners,& then ' Live at the Sands Hotel', a great artist. hasta luego TJR Canary Islands
Jack Jones OWNS this song---no other version can match the elegance and style of Jones's delivery!! Epitome of class!! (Man--EVERY time I hear this I want to pour myself a nice bourbon on the rocks, light up a smoke, and have a beautiful woman next to me with the lights dimmed LOL!!)
who do you think you are Don Draper?...lol this song has Mad Men written all over it. i can't believe they haven't used this song in any of the episodes-at least i haven't heard it anyway. and yeah, it makes me wanna light up a cigar and pour a drink too!
oldiesgeek1 Ain't it the truth---LOVED that show!! (It captures that whole time-frame and mood to perfection!! That era is when--- to quote the immortal James Brown---it truly was a "man's man's" world!!)
+nyterpfan just thought i'd contact you one last time since Mad Men comes to an end tonight. do you have your choice of drink and smokes on hand? with it being the last episode and all, i bought my first ever bottle of bourbon. i don't quite know what to expect--hope i don't pass out after the first sip and miss the entire show...so here's a toast to you and our favorite degenerate, Don Draper!
@@keithbleasdale5191 thank you for the reply, i plead guilty is actually a song by the stylistics on their sun and soul album 1977, you see, i grew up in the 1960s,,, thus, a lot of the music i listened too back then is what i listen too now.
This program (The Joey Bishop Show (NBC sitcom)) introduced me to him many years ago when I was still in high school. This was at a time when TV Land was airing this. To this day, I thank it.
This STILL defines the man/woman relationship. Marrieds still wonder at their troubles, yet-unmarrieds wonder how to make a marriage work. The plethora of counselors that weren't there all those years ago can attest to what men and women have lost and/or forgotten today.
Despite the fact that woman are different today than they we're during this era, this song and delivery by Jack Jones is still outstanding and is one of my favorite pieces of popular music of this era. Thank you Burt Bacharach, Hal David, and Jack Jones.
+benthead Women are not all different....many of us want to be that perfect housewife and homemaker and mom...The feminazis like Gloria Steinem want us killed.
there are still some of us that love to stay home and take care of our husbands and children and men that allow us to do so by working over time and lucky to earn enough money to do so and I will never let my guy down by not looking my best morning and night and in between , because there are girls at the office ha ha .. cheers and nothing against your comment just saying there are some of us left ha ha
Except today if the sex/roles were reversed, he would be lauded with impunity . Who is to say the values in 1964 are better or worse than 2021. The lyrics at that time were not offensive to the precepts of the early sixties. How can we be the moral arbiters today of half a century ago? Why not eighty-six the pitchforks and just enjoy the arrangement and Jack's superior, wonderful pipes. Great song Mr. Jones. Just my opinion, though.
Jack Jones is a great american singer. My favorite song is "wives and lovers". The song hits me in special places and definately has a 50`s/60`s feel. A unique singer with songs that stand the test of time🙂
Patty Ascher did a modern bossa nova version of this classic. And its absolutely, absolutely amazingly good. First heard it on Radio Bossa Nova Brazil, Sao Paulo and was awestricken. This song is truly a timeless classic, always brings back memories of that scene in Goodfellas lol.
Please! This was before everyone so damn “sensitive”, “offended” and thin-skinned like they are today! It’s a damn song! And a good one by a great singer! Can’t stand the times we’re living in. If I could transport back to the 60’s, would in one heartbeat
I'm a woman and I love this song. It's of its time, like all songs. I don't necessarily agree with the sentiment, but the music is just a swingin' jazzy-pop confection.
Yes very underrated, but sadly he came at the end of the crooner era, so those that had come before had already got the adulation and fame first hand ......
LYRICS Hey! Little Girl Comb your hair, fix your makeup Soon he will open the door Don't think because there's a ring on your finger You neednt try anymore For wives should always be lovers too Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you I'm warning you... Day after day There are girls at the office And men will always be men Don't send him off with your hair still in curlers You may not see him again For wives should always be lovers too Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you He's almost here... Hey! Little girl Better wear something pretty Something you'd wear to go to the city and Dim all the lights, pour the wine, start the music Time to get ready for love Time to get ready Time to get ready for love
I don't care if this song is sexist. I was a kid during this era and it was the best of times. I'm an old beach girl from So Cal and I still love a man opening the door for me. I also like having a scotch and a good cigar. I wish we could go back to those days.
When I lived in the Bay Area, the feminists were complaining to the radio station in San Francisco that this song was VERY sexist towards women and to NOT play this song on-air, believe it or not! Legendary DJ Jim Dunbar disagreed and continued to play this GREAT song on his morning show. Good job, Jim! 😉😎
Couples usually have "THEIR" song that they carry through their lives. This still is "OUR" song after 55 years and counting. Here's to you Marilyn and thanks for sharing it with me.
raymond keck Hello 45 years for my beautiful LINDA. WHERE DID THE TIME GO? OH YEAH TIME FLIES WHEN YOUR HAVING FUN WITH THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE ❤😘. Arnold Bourbon Amaral 🌏🌍🌎🌹🖖✌ live long and prosper. 💑👩❤👩💑💏
You could say that the key line is 'don't think because there's a ring on your finger, you needn't try anymore.' If you change some phrases, this song is still applicable. Many a man has lamented that his woman stopped trying to 'woo' him anymore: wearing 'that' dress that he liked so much; the sexy night things being traded for t-shirts and sweat pants. (On the flip side, many a man is just as guilty.). I'm a female, so women, don't 'freak' when I say this, but I wouldn't call the song 'sexist'; it's merely, for the most part, what was the norm for the time. 1964 was pretty much still like the '50s. The average woman married, had kids and took care of the house. She dressed up to go places: '...better wear something pretty, something you'd wear to go to 'the city'' reference. 'The song is just kind of a reminder to that housewife that she can easily lose her man. Oh, and is this colorized? This looks the same as a colorized B&W movie. I didn't think there were a lot of shows in color in '64.
Thanks Monica. You get it. (And "norm for the time" was all in all a good norm for men and women in love. Was there and lived it...and have the highest regard and respect for women these many years later.)
This song was long before my time, it sounds good, but one could never get away singing a song like this today. If someone were to even remotely think of writing a song like this nowadays, he'll be shunned by today's society. At the end of the day though, it sends the right message though: wives should be lovers too and so should husband's, way too many relationships lack that. Thanks for uploading the video.
I WISH THERE WAS ONE VOICE OUT THERE TODAY LIKE JACK JONES
He's perfect depth ,pitch ,timing never be his like again and he's still with us thank you Jack Jones
The best singer of this genre. I've been a fan since the 60's. Hope he continues for a very long time.
This is a snapshot of American mating sensibilities at the moment right before the Beatles and Stones changed everything.
I realize today this would not be looked favorably on, but I loved it when it first came out and I was only 13 years old then. I still like the song for the music and style after all these years, and yes it is on my playlist on my phone.
And women covered it too. Like Julie London.
I still love this song
Why would it not?
SAME 🎶🤳🎶
I remember sitting in the dentist waiting room and hearing Jack Jones singing this song in the mid 60’s. This song was so cool and smooth but evokes bittersweet memories.
Talent right here people this is pure class
I am having the fondest memory of my parents headed out for a night in the city in the late 60's! My dad's Cadillac shined to the hilt and my folks dressed to the nines!
These 60's songs hit me the same way......
The days when America had class. One of Bacharach best arrangements and he picked the right guy to sing it. I love this song. 💕
❤❤❤❤❤😂
Totally agree
I hadn't been born yet, but I love the old standards. I wonder if he still makes appearances such as in Vegas, I'd go see him.
Absolutely
All I know is this guy will always be super cool! We will never see classy acts like this I'm afraid.
This guy is a frozen zombie you idiot
This song is about keeping the romance alive in your marriage. This is important even today, for both the husbands and the wives to do.
Love JJ!!! He even made the theme for the Love Boat memorable! 😁
He was only 26 years old in 1964 but was very sure of himself and talent which runs in the family
My mom always remembered Donkey Serenade by Alan Jones.
Still is ty
How couldnt he be confident with that beautiful voice!!!!
What a fool
I guess all of you guys are either virgins or maybe you never met a real woman. You are all so sad. Get back to your mom's basement. She has a burger with fries and melted cheese waiting for you
Jack Jones was a wonderful singer, performer and handsome guy. He had a smooth romantic style. Wished he was young again today.
Great song ❤
what a babe. So much talent for such a young man at the time!
I've heard this many times, but only recently REALLY paid attention to the lyrics. My thought was, "No wonder celebrities marriages don't last long!" I just checked...Jack Jones has been married SIX times! :D
Maybe his marriage didn't last because he married feminists instead of women? We younger women are so sick of feminism and running back to the old songs and old ways.
It was a different era.
@@priscillalongworth1720 Speak for yourself.
@@Sure.Not. 😆😅😂🤣
He didn't write the song. If you want to be cynical take it up with Burt Bacharach
Who knew Ray Liotta had such a great voice!
HAA!!
Brilliant song...lovely singer 🎶🎤🎶
His pitch on EVERY note is flawless and his timing is dead on.
Amazing, how that invisible mic can pick up his singing so well.
I love this song ,another hit Jack Jones great song for a great mam 💕
Jack Jones. My dear old mum loved him god bless her❤️ and so do I. As for this song. Its one of his best..
Next to the "Love Boat" theme it was his best. Lol
Smooth as silk. Wonderful tune. Jack is so fond of the jazz waltz, and so good at it.
@L.1875 1878 What is that?
Days of great singers!
He’s still alive and kickin in Indian Wells, CA. One of the best for sure!
My parents had this album and played it often - along with their Herb Alpert and Tijuana Brass albums. All of it's stood the test of time, but some of these particular lyrics haven't aged well.
I keep playing this for my wife hoping she'll take the hint. She broke the record!!
Too funny. Great comment.
Hubba, Hubba❤💋❤
It’s funny but it’s kind of sad that so many women have a problem being a woman! They can be strong, sexy, and independent, self-sufficient and still be women. Shitty time we’re living in
Not something that goes over well in 2021. Such a shame.
are you sure your not talking about my wife
Great song from a great singer!!
If this song was today......the man would have his hair in curlers
That's hysterical! Maybe the guy would say " I'm really a She"
😂

Why can't we have people like this now, this era was beautiful.

This STILL defines the man/woman relationship. Marrieds still wonder at their troubles, yet-unmarrieds wonder how to make a marriage work. The plethora of counselors that weren't there all those years ago can attest to what men and women have lost and/or forgotten today.
how did this song not make it into MadMen?
I thought the very same thing ...
David Lollipops and Roses made it into the closing credits of a Season 2 episode. Can’t remember which one.
It was
Same.
Because it was shit
Just a lovely song by a great singer! Happy Birthday Jack.
Love the flourish at the end.
Wish the women he's singing about still existed. Maybe they do. Who knows.
This guy was so smooth. Great talent.
oh man I'm half century late to enjoy this kind music, makes me more pissed that I'm a gen z kid
Seen him live several times in recent years. A class act - everytime.
Love it!!!
This era was the last time there was class in our country. Arguably by 66-67 it was gone.
His voice is so enchanting though 😭😍
Utter class and super smooth - saw him at the Palladium in the 70's - had a massive crush on him at the time and still do !
My mom always played Jack Jones on the stereo
I love this music ❤

It was 1964 but sounds more 50s and a better time in many ways. We have to appreciate it for the time it was
Imagine a guy releasing a song like this today? He'd be crucified!!
And rightfully so
As he should be! JFC, these lyrics…
Well, Burt Bachrach is still around so one can blame him.
Except today if the sex/roles were reversed, he would be lauded with impunity . Who is to say the values in 1964 are better or worse than 2021.

You know, I just miss those days. Wow.
Same here…. Wonderful times!
Wonderful singer.
The album Wives and lovers has a song on it called="Nina never knew" so named my Daughter after it=NINA.nearly 48 now.time flys.
Patty Ascher did a modern bossa nova version of this classic. And its absolutely, absolutely amazingly good. First heard it on Radio Bossa Nova Brazil, Sao Paulo and was awestricken. This song is truly a timeless classic, always brings back memories of that scene in Goodfellas lol.
It’s the horns for me especially on that second verse!!! Good Lord!!!
🤣🤣🤣
FINE PERFORMANCE...AGAIN!
What a classy Man. 😊
still have several albums, love the guy
Please! This was before everyone so damn “sensitive”, “offended” and thin-skinned like they are today! It’s a damn song! And a good one by a great singer! Can’t stand the times we’re living in. If I could transport back to the 60’s, would in one heartbeat
I'm a woman and I love this song. It's of its time, like all songs. I don't necessarily agree with the sentiment, but the music is just a swingin' jazzy-pop confection.
The sexist patriarchy is...sexy? Right.
yup, very smooth iconic look of the period.
He was brilliant, I felt very underrated. Great singer, great song. Many thanks. Happy New Year 2017, take care.
Yes very underrated, but sadly he came at the end of the crooner era, so those that had come before had already got the adulation and fame first hand ......
Happy New Year 2018 !!!
you're FEMALE and you call this mysogeny "brilliant"? WFT is wrong with you?
Brina Healy It’s a product of it’s time. Most women were homemakers then, taking care of their husbands.
LYRICS
Hey! Little Girl
Comb your hair, fix your makeup
Soon he will open the door
Don't think because there's a ring on your finger
You neednt try anymore
For wives should always be lovers too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
I'm warning you...
Day after day
There are girls at the office
And men will always be men
Don't send him off with your hair still in curlers
You may not see him again
For wives should always be lovers too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
He's almost here...
Hey! Little girl
Better wear something pretty
Something you'd wear to go to the city and
Dim all the lights, pour the wine, start the music
Time to get ready for love
Time to get ready
Time to get ready for love
Thank you!
Rings very true today as it did yesterday!
This should have been the theme song for “Mad Men”. I picture Don and Betty throughout the lyrics!
Goodfellas!
Thats what i was thinking!
I don't care if this song is sexist. I was a kid during this era and it was the best of times. I'm an old beach girl from So Cal and I still love a man opening the door for me. I also like having a scotch and a good cigar. I wish we could go back to those days.
Very nice performance, nice stylish performance. Glad to see and hear it.
Great jazz melody
What a hunk, and so talented as well, Positively superb
I dig it!
This counsel goes for the "little boys" out there, too.
Wow. Pure class. So dashing! So debonair!
The brilliant Jack Jones. Thank you for uploading.
I don't care that it is sexist!!! I love the way he sings!!!
A classic and very well executed song. A professional performance
Legend
Love it. I wish this was still our perspective.
Eckstine in his prime was a powerful presence and artist ... so much jazz history in this one man
That was great and Joey Bishop, Wow!😲♥️🦋
At end of the clip it sounded like Joey Bishop said "Jack Wilson!" Still a fabulous song from a fabulous era of popular music.
Anyone who's married will tell you that it's not a good look to be looking dishevelled too often! Love the song!
Hauntingly beautiful.

Oh, and is this colorized? This looks the same as a colorized B&W movie. I didn't think there were a lot of shows in color in '64.
Thanks Monica. You get it. (And "norm for the time" was all in all a good norm for men and women in love. Was there and lived it...and have the highest regard and respect for women these many years later.)
March, 2020 - Just had to watch and listen to this fabulous artist.
Some how I don't think this tune would get much airtime on the radio (or what ever) if it came out today
If it came out today it would be condemned.
Both he and his dad were great singers
Goodfellas!!
Great!
Truly...Just Great :)
First heard this on an episode of Desperate Housewives.. perfect!

This song was used in an ABC promo for Desperate Housewives.
