I was lucky enough to meet Jerry, Dick and Bob at the world harmonica championships in Jersey 1987. Bob and I spent sometime together and he taught me to play this. I also met Al Pogson who is the person that wrote the score, another amazing man .
My dad played their album when I was a kid at home. Now I'm 69 and still loving this incredibly fantastic sound
I got chills listening to this. I remember my Dad playing this when I was very little.
I just came from Goodwill store and was looking through records and came across The Harmonicats. Never heard of them but photo in cover was enough to get me to spend 1.00 on album selected favorites. I love finding such cool and totally unique sounding musicians. Love it
+Chalie Messina I"m glad you found us, no matter where it was. I love that story. Thank you for the kind words.
this was my husband and i was our favorite song. I lost him after 62yrs.this was our love song
To those who would like to see the harmonicats, JR Mass died in January, 2012, and Jerry Murad died May, 1996. RIP guys, I miss you both. Joe
There is NO WAY that Galloping Comediens isn't your GREATEST HIT!! That song is the BOMB DADDY!!! You guys ROCK!!
Oh my God!!! Seriusly, my dear sweet Jesus in Heaven!! This is WONDERFUL!!!
My dad had their albums. I remember "sneaking" and listening to them. A beautiful and unique sound - even until today. Love them!
great great song, sounds good even today. Jerry and his group play with so much passion, the mouth organ isn't that easy to play, and they make it seem so easy. Thanks guys for a great performance
My Mom's name was Peg and this was her song ,I remember my Dad singing it to her all the time.
I first heard this recording back in the 60s. I loved Jerrys music then, and now its even more precious to me. Thanks for posting this Vid. Its a wonderful tribute to and amazing musician, and his orchestra of three.. Brings back a lot of memories to an old DJ like me. May God Bless.
OMG I've always loved Jerry Murad's Harmonicats!!! No one else will ever come close to their talent Bravo!!!!!
I was lucky enough to have seen them live in Chicago. Also, there was a local variety show in Chicago. It was Jim Moran, the Courtesy Man, a Hudson, then Ford dealer. He had them on about 2 or 3 times a year. This is one of my very favorite tunes.
Had the thrill of seeing them live on stage. One of the great variety acts ever.
My father showed me this song when I was little and you all captivated me. I was so amazed by how beautiful it sounded and I still love the way it sounds to this day. You are all amazing, thank you so much for the beautiful music.
God, my late father used to play this song.
Over and over and over and over.
God love him.
bellissimo!!! A must see for all harmonica's lovers!
Beautifully played chord solo - and accompaniment, Joe.
This is a brilliant version of a very old song. Awesome!
Jerry's got a tone and style I can only dream of achieving.
Dear Jerry and guys,
Thanks for the memories. I saw and heard you guys perform live in Des Moines, IA in the early 60's and I was hooked. Rich harmony. I was about 8yrs, old at that time, but I have some of your albums and I listen to them regularly. "Peg" is still the best, but "Sabre Dance" is great, as are they all. Bless you guys for bringing so much happiness, in an unhappy world.
Love this haunting melody and you guys do it so well. No wonder you made it a million seller.
I love this song. I remember it from when I was a little kid in the 50s.
I remember listening to an album my parents had back in the 60's of these guys. Loved it then, and still think it's some of the best ever. My Mom's name was Peg, so it had a very special meaning to me.
I can remember my parents listening to this and others by the Harmonacats.
Dancing in the Living Room.
Thanks for the Memories
I remember this from the early forties! What a sound what a version. Music was music.
Peg O My Heart My Mom and Dads Song. Love You and Miss You Sooo Much
a HUGE thanks to all of you who have posted wonderful comments here.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from The Harmonicats.
One of those songs I learned as a kid and never forgot. Great t hear it again.
My Grandfather and I are watching this amazing video together, He's actually met these guys in person.
Many years ago while my Dad was having his big band (Bobby Mills Orch.)recorded at Universal Recording in Chicago, the Harmonicats were down the hall recording as well. I remember him saying it was quite a treat to peek in on the session.
Proof that a harmonica is in fact a legit musical instruement.
DCI
The Singing Detective theme. Wonderful stuff!
A TIMELESS CLASSIC. THANKS FOR UPLODING.
I had no idea that Jerry and JR passed away. It 's so sad because the world has lost one of the world's greatest musical acts!! I was lucky that my parents bought their 78s when I was a kid, and I have played them and loved them ever since. Their original recording of Malaguena is one of the most amazing things I have ever listened to!
An absolutely beautiful song, and one of the most moving that I've heard.
A classic frozen in time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The chest mics are Shure 315s in custom shells mounted on old WWII military issue chest plates. You can still find the 315s on ebay, but they aren't cheap, and the ribbons often need to be replaced. the custom shells are almost impossible to find, but you could probably make your own if you had access to a milling machine.
Los Harmonicats de Jery Murad siempre serán los mejores.
I saw these guys live in Chicago a very long time ago.
WONDERFUL memories
You're pretty much correct, At that time,echo was being used on voice recordings. It was the Cat's engineer, Bill Putnam, who engineered at the big voice recording studio in Chicago, Universal, that put echo so prominently in the Cats recordings. And to do so, he ran a speaker to the men's room which was made of ceramic tile which gave it a boomy sound and placed a microphone in front of it. This was unheard of at the time as there was no echo machines invented yet.
They are the best of the best.
Soooo sweet.....I had there records in the 60s.....
just stumbled on this by accident absolutely love it.
Jerry Murad, gigante de la armónica cromática reunió a dos gigantes de
las armónicas cromáticas de acompañamiento : Joe Mass y su hermano Jr Mass para realizar un concierto en San José, grabando el video UNA NOCHE EN SAN FRANCISCO, que afortunadamente pude conseguir para escuchar en alta fidelidad la excelente calidad musical de estos artistas.
This is from my time......love it.......Oldude
BRAVO...BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember it well Great memories
Este trio tan maravilloso, han sido los mejores que ha habido,en este mundo sin despreciar a otros muchos buenos que tambien los haya por este planeta, pero....
Oh yes. Oh yes. This is fabulous.
That was fantastic. Thank You.
So Beautiful!
Gawd! these guys are tight!!! I can only wish I could play a chromatic that well!!!
I wish I was born around the war. I love the old music...
看著一個白髮蒼蒼的老人
陶醉在那麼美妙的音樂中
真的是太觸動我了
So great, I had one of your albums way back when!
This may be my all-time favorite recording, remembering it of course from my youth in Milwaukee...but its not about 'remembering' or 'youth' -- it's just that it's such a great, evocative, touching, and (I now appreciate) relaxing sound.
And for those hop-hop or electronica fans who may be curious just exactly HOW SLOW this beat really is, I have the answer for you: It's 64bpm. :)
Compliments - complimenti, bravi!
Sin comentarios. Fueron, son y serán siempre los mejores
I JUST LOVE THESE GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN HEAR THEM ON AM 91.5 SEQUIM RADIO STATION. KSQM
We're sorry to learn of the passing of JR Mass, bass player in this video and brother to the chord player, Joe Jr., also playing here, on Jan. 5. Our deepest condolences to his family and brother Joe. The world has lost a true bass harmonica master.
@fransjaak
translation: Great to see and hear them again. Such class!
Who can play like that! How did they learn to play so well.
+Rich Risica Practice baby, practice!
Between Aug.- Sept. 1945, you performed on the same night as my mom, who went by her stage name, Marie Claire. She was a dancer/contortionist who toured w/ the USO. I have Jerry Murad's and Al Fiorentino autographs in one of her 5 autograph books. I also have an autographed photo you gave her. Maybe you remember her?
She married in 1944 and I am the youngest (58) of her six children she had.
They are Shure ribbon microphones.
The Harmonicats
awesome thx for the upload
oh my!
"Joe take another bow"
I remember it from 1946 when I was just a tot..
you guys are great, make it look so easy, play with such passion, I never get tired of hearing this song. Are you going to be out in the Bay Area anytime soon?
Meraviglioso!Paolo Gallina-
Wonderful!
I am trying to find that microphone neck stand you are using. Can you point me to where I can find it please? And what specific microphones are you using (Shure ribbon mics - which models)?
Fantastic stuff guys. I'm in the process of learning this song on my chord and bass harmonica (already knew the chromatic part of course!)
Tell me: what are those mics you're using?
S'il vous plaît visitez notre site harmonicats pour Jerry et La biographie Harmonicats. Ils sont l'un et le même. Merci.
