Jay and the Techniques are from my home town in Allentown PA. I read he has been seriously ill with colon cancer, but the prognosis is good and I pray for his continues recovery. As a kid, around 4 yrs of age, I always loved this song and drove my parents crazy by singing the only part I picked up, "Apple, Peaches Pumkin pie" 🙂
I grew up outside Phillipsburg, NJ and it was a big treat to go to Allentown for shopping at the Whitehall Mall. Mom always had the radio on and this was one of the songs that brings back great childhood memories of that time.
I was 17 in 1967 when this cute & fun song came out. I replayed it over and over. I drove my Little Brothers crazy!! I still ❤️ it. Thank You “Jay & The Techniques!🎧🥰🎵
I was 13, and Sooooooo Happy and Carefree, in my Beautiful Suburban Neighborhood. One of the Most Wonderful Man, in this World was laid to rest today, Mr. Arthur “One Glove” Jimmerson, out of University City, Missouri. He was a Middle- Weight Boxer. Mr. Evander Holyfield, came all the way from, Atlanta, Georgia, to Speak, as he showed Respect. Grateful for Great Music to remind me of a Beautiful time in my life, and a Life where I knew and loved Mr. Jimmerson and his Entire Family. His Loving Mother, taught me how to French Braid, my Three Beautiful Daughters Hair. Her Daughters were Very Beautiful as well. R. I. Power, Little Arthur. I was 19, and Arthur had to be 12, wanting to be a boxer, even at that young age.
I was studying to be a teacher. I rode an SX200 scooter and loved soul music. This was the soundtrack to my student teaching years. I taught delinquent boys in Liverpool. I had the privilege to be one lad’s best man at his wedding. Unfortunately I stood at the grave of one lad as he was lowered into it having taken 8 bullets to the chest. I couldn’t protect him from the street. I am 67 years of age and now drive a Bentley but I would swap it tomorrow for my old Lambretta. Sublime music like this still provides the soundtrack to my life.
You said 'Liverpool" and I thought "That's where the Beatles were from. I remember those scooters here in America and always wondered why they disappeared.

I truly thank God for being a 1960 baby, we were introduced to the Greatest Music of All TIMES...60/70/80/90'S and some 2000's Again Thank you GOD Almighty 🤙👏👌🎙️🎼🎹🎤📻💯🙏
This song came out when I was in elementary school. I rode the bus every day, and the driver had installed a radio, so we listened to station WKIN as we headed to school and home again. The kids, especially the older girls, would sing every word of every hit song. I said to myself: "One day, I want to be the guy on the radio who spins those records." Starting in 1973, in the fall of my senior year of high school (Class of '74), I was. I worked at WKIN for 7 years, and at other stations, for a total of 22 years. Good times, great oldies, fabulous memories ... thanks, in part, to Jay (Proctor) & The Techniques. ❤
Great story bro. That would be my dream job. I still own 2300 CDs . I had about ten thousand pieces of music at one time. Box’s and box’s of 45s and cassettes. 3200 albums. I still keep up with all the new heavy bands of today. No, not the screamers or growling groups, real hard rock groups and old school metal groups of today.?Stoner Rock/ Heavy psyche and doom groups. My dream is to buy a radio station and play REAL ROCK!! Bands from the past 25 years. Thousands of them. 24 hours a day with some old bands thrown in. Have different nights for different kinds of heavy rock groups. Metal nights, Goth Nights, Punk nights, New Romantic nights, Stoner nights, Psychedelic nights, with all of the bands from this century. ……Most Americans know nothing about new groups. We could have one night just playing my favorite band, The Helacopters from Sweden. ‘High Visibility’ & ‘By The Grace Of God’ are two of the best Rock records ever made. Believe me, I know. I know them all. So many new groups coming every day it’s hard for a 67 year old dude to keep up. But with You Tube. I can and it’s free.

God. So do I. I want to go back. When will the Time Machine be ready so we can go back just as spectators. We didn’t know it at the time, but our world was beautiful. Not like this one now😢.
Dancing the Boogaloo in the lunch room under the icy glares of Sister Basil. Loved how the Rascals made this a medley with GROOVIN'. Music that will live forever.
My best friend were in Jr high when this came out; we practiced over and over to get the "Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie" part fast enough without bumbling it. It made my mother laugh out loud listening to us! Mom's gone now, but my bestie & I still hang out and sing that part! 😄😄😄😄
I've always loved this tune absolutely brilliant 👏. I was brought up on the northern scene,both my older brothers were into it,I was around 8yrs old used to take the radio up to bed listening to radio Luxembourg ha! What memories oh if only we could go back eh!.
Radio Luxembourg....wow have not heard that in must be 60 years. Do you remember Radio Caroline, these were I think the first two pirate radio stations transmitting off old trawlers moored six miles off shore...
Timeless! My pop used to love this song, the funny thing was, so did I. Love it. Still has that feeling and emotion. Happy that I finally read the lyrics after 50 years 😊😊
This could have been the background Music for my life in the UK around 1974, loved this record from then on in and spent many a happy time dancing to it!
No kidding, huh Brian? This song came out when I was in high school. I would always turn up the volume on my AM car radio or transistor whenever I heard it. I loved the soul music from back then. Great, timeless music that reminds me of sock hops and more carefree days.
Wow, had never seen this before but I'm glad to see a video to a great song. Twelve years old and fighting daily to maintain the area we had around 13th and Saint Louis on the Southwest Side of Chicago. Learning of life and death, Alvin with his back laid open by a razor. We could never understand why he would turn his back on somebody with a razor. Good Song, good memories and some bad ones too! GOD BLESS!!!!!
This is AWESOME!!! 🍎🍑🥧💖 Here is part of my Facebook comment today: "Omigosh; the dudes suit is EXACTLY like the one I got married in, in 1981!!! 🤣 Same burnt orange color, same vest, same ruffled shirt, and even the same size! 😍 The only difference is that mine had tails! The dolly on the left in the orange pant-suit even had the same curly hairstyle that my wife once had! I would go BACK to my #HappyBubble of those years in a heartbeat. Right, dear Olenka?" 🤗😘🥰
I remember this when I was a little kid listening to KOOL AM, Phoenix, hiding under the covers at night so my mom wouldn't hear me still up. It is still on my paly list today.
I had a Schwinn Sting Ray with goose neck handle bars and a sissy bar.!! And a transistor radio.I was hot shit !!! I charged 10c for a ride around the block.
Wow!!!! This is what we use to say when we played hide & seek waaaay back in the very early 70's and if i remember the late 60's. We also said another rhyme. " two gallons of water. Two pounds of soap. Who not ready holler billie goat. "Im 56 n born 1962 so i know the kids today don't have the kind of fun we had growing up in the ghetto streets of Boston Ma.
@Flat Earth, thanks for sharing your memories of these hide & seek rhymes. I'm a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania based African American collector of English language children's recreational rhymes and this is the first time I've heard of the "two gallons of water" rhyme. You wrote that you chanted it "the ghetto streets of Boston, massachusetts" and (given the information you shared) this was in the 1960s or early 1970s. For the folkloric record, I'd love to know the race/s of the children who chanted this hide & seek rhyme. Thanks again and thanks to Jay & The Techniques for this song.
Every kid in America sang this song. All the top radio stations played it. We were still innocent in those days.
I miss that.

Which one is "Lucky"?

I agree 100%. Interesting story how the group hooked up.
I don't even know how the hell I know this song. I was dead or not living to be more accurate at the time this on the radio.
I loved it when the girls pointed at the Camera. Such a great song and video.
The backing vocalists got a good sound!!
The lead vocalist is great.
@Mark Ehrlich Jay proctor and the technics were from Allentown pa
The Background Vocals is being done by Ashford&Simpson and Melba Moore
One of my favorite songs when I was young! Made me feel like dancin', this was a very popular song!
I was 9.had a transistor radio.
I love this song! I remember when it came out...I was 18, driving my car and blasting this song on the AM radio. I really miss those times!!
God. So do I. I want to go back. When will the Time Machine be ready so we can go back just as spectators. We didn’t know it at the time, but our world was beautiful. Not like this one now😢.
