I love this song. And im still listening to it in 2024
some of the best music to grow up with from the 60s
I don’t care if I’m stuck in the old days.
Me either..that was when music was great
Me too. Best music, fashion and able to do our own thing! 😎
Nothing wrong with that. I'm right there with you.
Me too...stuck there that was great music
we all are and i love it !!!
When music was music
And they had clothes on.
Being a teenager in the 1960's was a special & unique thing.
Absolutely right. Pity my children could not see what we had in those times. Perfect. So lucky I was around at that time
Absolutely
said very well and a fact others will never know
I listened to all these songs on my little transistor radio. I stayed up many a night late, listening to music.
And the severnties ❤
Anyone born in the 50s , were the luckiest people on earth. Our generation got to experience the finest of everything
1952 girl here! I agree!
I was born in 1947. The early 60’s music was the best imho.
Yes! Yes! Yes! 1958 😊 ❤❤❤
Or 40 ties
1955 😁
met my wife at the fair when this song was being played while on the speedway were still married after 55 years love her more than ever great song
This is some of the best music of all time .
Hi Caroline hope you are fine
Hi Caroline how are you?
I’m fine how about you ?
How are you Morris ?
Hello Morris how are you ?
I'm willing to bet that less than half of today's entertainers could sing this song with this much emotion and power without passing out or needing a break. That guy had lungs.
true that !!
You're so right ! But he could sing to me my husband sang it to me 54 years ago. Still does !
Amazingly, I get the sense that there was more in reserve if he needed it, but Gary wisely held back a little, so as not to over power the song.
He's amazing,never get tired of listening to it, wished I could see him live
@@blockcl Absolutely spot on correct! Those pipes combined with his pulmonary volume were a gift from god to us all. I've always thought that, IMHO , he had the best voice in rock/pop. I still do.
Could listen to Gary Puckett and Karen Carpenter All day, The 2 best voices ever.
Completely agree
Boy that Gary Puckett could sing the hell out of a song. Smooth as velvet.
When we were teenagers we thought music would always be this good. We were so wrong.
We lived in the best of times.
it was good music
Our generation had the best music….🎼🎼🎼❤️
How were you wrong? And try to answer without sounding even more like a blinkered, prejudiced, rose-tinted snob than you already do
😂. We really could not have imagined that we were experiencing the epitome of greatly talented musicians 🎶🎵🎶🤞🏻💪🏻🙏🏻👍🏻
My husband sang this to me when we were dating. We wound up getting married. Our 37 th. Wedding Anniversary would have been the 16th, of this month. He died last year just before Christmas. This song brings back some sweet memories!
So very sorry for your loss😢 just remember all those beautiful memories you have from all those years together 💕🎶🎼,God bless you and give you strength and HIS peace 👣🙌🏼✝️🙏🏼
So sorry to hear, Brenda ☹️ My sister lost her husband same timeframe. Please accept my condolences. Take care of yourself, and remember to take it one day at a time. Peace to you. 🤗
🙏🏼
My sincere sympathy. You had so much more than most ever will have..tenderness endlessly.
So sorry for your loss. I know how it feels, I ost my Wife on Feb 19 th after 48 years. It’s devastating.
Gary Puckett and The Union Gap should be in the Hall of Fame. Fantastic voice , great musians and singers also.
The best band for 60's / 70's nostalgia.
As a black boy from an predominantly soul music listening environment I became a solid fan of Gary Puckett and The Union Gap at 8 years old in 1973 and still a fan.
I am very surprised they don't have their booking in the music HoF because their music stood a test of time and for a person growing up in the 70's for that moment they place me in a much better more innocent USA.....
They are crap! I was asked to watch this. Without the big band behind them. They would sound like a rough pub band! Seriously😂
NO ONE today can even come close to his sound and talent- forget it! :P!!!
If they're not in the hall of fame it's their loss--not Gary's. Just shows that the hall of fame isn't cracked up to be what it's supposed to be.
@@brucknerian9664 Unfortunately it goes to show u it is politics & who u know just like everything else.
Just loved Gary Puckett since I was 16. I'm 72 now and just love his fantastic voice.
No lie, he is one of the greatest singers and he melts my heart.🥰
Am 63 luv this guy 💖🦋🌹
I agree, brings back being a teenager in the 60's. Great times
same here do you remember listen to them on 4 track car tape player
I heard him often when a senior at Illinois State University in 68-69. I went east to college from Dan Diego where Gary and the "Gap" played at my high schools senior prom.
One of the great rock voices of all time.
He is right up there with Roy Orbison and Tom Jones !!
BUT COME ON MICHAEL, 4 REAL , STEALING THAT OPENING LiNE FROM “ELVIS “ !!!- NOT GOOD ! DiG ? USA 🇺🇸 STRONG 💪💪💪💪 !!
Love his voice!!
@@christinanicholls9868 I was in high school when they were at their peak. Absolutely loved the songs.
@@michaelfisher7835 Yes, me too! I recently started listening to them again and following him and his life now. He’s 80 and looks fantastic! Such a nice guy.
In a period of time when there were dozens and dozens of great singers, Gary Puckett still has to be at or near, the very top of them all.
I played this 45 constantly as a young boy. Then I progressed to Steve Perry & Journey. Didn't realize how much they resembled each other tbh.
GARY PUCKETT REMINDS ME OF BILL MEDLEY''S VOICE A COUPLE OCTIVES HIGHER.
BOTH GREAT SINGERS.
❤❤❤ Gary Puckett ❤❤❤
Between Gary's fantastic voice and Jerry Fuller's beautiful songs ...I mean , come on ! ❤️❤️❤️
A song that touches the heart. Love their cloths and class act.
Perfection, is all I can say. No grandstanding or showing off. Today people scream as loud as they can and fake emotion to get the attention they crave. Gary Puckett was not a showoff ... he just knew what he had, and that was enough.
Great voice
Iv loved Gary since I was young, bought all his records, I still get goose bumps when I hear one of his songs....❤
He still does!
Have you ever noticed that when you hear certain singers it takes you back to the first time you heard their voices. Memories run down my face remembering friends no longer here and the good times that were had
Fantastic memories
I still get chills listening to this classic. Memories of a much more innocent childhood.
@@twowaditty8325Same!! I cried when I started listening to these songs again. It’s bittersweet. His voice is amazing! I had a big crush on Gary. ❤
I'm 61 but I grew up listening to him with my Mom. It was a way different time I know that now. I still cannot understand HOW WE ENDED UP WHERE THIS COUNTRY IS.
SMH
Yes!
not quite so "innocent" when you really listen to the lyric. Not really.
@@jimquantic Neither was Lou Christie!
Without a doubt one of the most underrated Performers ever
so stupid, get real, 6 gold albums, outsold the Beatles one year.
god
This song is a favorite of mine..I AM 66 NOW...and I so remember this song....
Hi suzee how are you??
Me too.
Young Girl was better.
One of my favorites too! I'll be 66 in November.
I'm 63 and still love this song 😊
Gary Puckett’s voice is pure gold! Now this is singing! So glad I grew up listening to music with talented singers!
I agree with you 1,000% because this is when music was music. Today's music is FILTHY GARBAGE & isn't worth a dime.
Me too
@@kevinjohnson4599 You are so right. Nasty music, Nasty clothing, and just pure NASTY.
@@melodyjordan6052 1,000% AGREED.
@@melodyjordan6052 You are 1,000% CORRECT.
One of the best singers in music history !! Gary has a AMAZING UNIQUE VOICE!!!
That's because Gary Pucketts my cousin.
@@joeldank1708 JOEL...I ENJOYED GARYS 2007 INTERVIEW AT RECORDING STUDIO VERY MUCH...ETERNALLY INTERESTING INDIVIDUAL.
I agree, awesome voice
Absolutely!
Bellísimas interpretaciones de Gary!!
This guy has a amazing voice full of emotion not like todays songs
Hello Susan how are you?
The sixties saw three major political assassinations, a deadly foreign war where over 60,000 Americans lost their lives, riots that have never been matched to this day, a civil rights movement unequalled in human history, massive political dissension, college students killed for peacefully protesting the Vietnam war, and out of all of this some of the best music ever recorded.
I miss my youth so much. This music that will never be as amazing again.
You are still young
Ami tmbien me gustan este tipo de cansiones
Couldn't agree more!!
i know
Never again...golden age of music 🎶
My goodness, Gary so effortlessly belts out this one so perfectly knowing millions of people are at home watching his every move. The man is a living legend.
How do we know he's singing live? Seems like a recording to me. They did an awful lot of lip synching in those days.
@@landztranz In the performance right before this one, of "Young Girl", Ed asked Gary to change one of the lyrics of the song which he found suggestive, and Gary obliged, so it was a live performance.
Interesting. But how do you account for the fact that there are instruments that aren't there onstage, and also the microphone in front of the guitarists is far from them? Something's definitely not live.
@@landztranz - This comment thread was about his voice. Who cares if the instrumentation is live or not. Gary may not even have sewn his own clothes. Oh mercy! LOL
@@landztranz Sometimes, the lead singers would sing to recorded backing tracks, so the lead vocals would be live. I think it was done because live shows often had troubles micing each band member, as evidenced by some of the earlier appearances by bands on Ed Sullivan.
You can tell Gary has a great singing voice as this is no lip sync and his vocals are freakin' clean with less than studio quality everything, its impressive.
2022 still listening to this classic song.
This was recorded in mono just before the performance, as often happened on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Thus, it is a lip sync.
@Debbie I take it you've never made a mistake?
More proof..."Did no one ever tell you, the WAY of Life...?". Original lyrics, "...the FACTS of Life...?" were cleaned up for Sunday night primetime network TV.
Agree 💯
His voice and range is astounding. A singing voice like no other. So smooth & effortless.
He and Roy O are inaclass by themselves!
Neill diamond too
God I miss the 60s and 70s music. Best ever.
Wow, I had a major crush on an older guy at 15 and he sent signals back. But….he sat me down to talk and basically spoke very similar words to “Young Girl”to me. I am forever grateful he did. But boy that song takes me right back to that place and time. Thanks for the memories Gary. God bless you
I'm 68 and when I was 65 I met a woman who was 30. She and I were close, but friends. Her mom was my age. But I remember the emotions I felt that took me to my youth. I was so happy to be her friend. That was enough. Just beautiful! I'm happy for your experience.
One of the best vocalists of 60s pop
Pop in general ☺️
One of the greatest ever. You won't hear todays music being played 60 years from now.
You definitely won't hear today's music, which is far from music being played 60 years from now.
Or six years from now.
There are bbn if any classics being created today. Old school music brings back pleasant memories. Today's music nightmares and sadness
I'd be happy to not hear today's "music" today.
I can't remember today's music now let alone 60 year time.
In 1969 I was in the sixth grade at good hope elementary school. I loved this music then and since then.
Gary Puckett and the union gap should be inducted in the hall of fame
He had a hell of a voice! Real talent!
He still has the most incredible voice
Saw him on CabaRay a few months ago. He's still got it.
He is one of the greats his voice will never be recreated
His songs are irreplaceable
Yeah Man
@@deeking3683 saw him last Saturday. He's 80 now and still can sing. He's not trying to be something he's not. He knows his voice is deeper. May have been his final tour😔. I hope not.
One of four consecutive Top 10 million sellers in 1968 they enjoyed - Woman Woman, Young Girl, Lady Willpower and Over You.
As a 12 yr old girl, I'd bring my radio outside and sing and dance to the shade of the house..and dream
Also This girl is a woman now
@@roberthernandez839 That was a US Billboard top 10 hit, but not a Record Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified gold record (million seller)
@@joesophie90 JOE...I BELIEVE BOTH MADE THE TOP TEN...WAS UNAWARE IT WAS NOT A GOLD RECORD...THANX.
Still great everything
Wow man. This is actually live! Puckett was the best in the business, hands down. No one could compare during this stretch, it's almost ridiculous, he was so frigging good.
YES the best, also youtube at its greatest
All performers on the Ed Sullivan show were live ..no lip syncing allowed.
@@planestrainsdogsncars4336 Wow, I didn't know that, thanks. Ed always cleaned it up "the way of life"." He might actually sound better live than he did on the studio track!
@@jacquelinemcgowan8164 Yep
@@jacquelinemcgowan8164 He hung on too long, but when he was at his peak I don't think anyone could hang with him. Tom Jones, Humperdinck were great, Johnny Maestro, Burton Cummings maybe. But Puckett was probably the best.
My dad was born in 57’… every day in my life, every moment I’m listening to music I’m grateful for him! The biggest gift in my life it’s my taste in music and it’s all thanks to him!
Thank you dad
This guy should seriously be in the conversation as one of the greatest male vocalists of all time. I believe that he could easily be considered the Steve Perry of his generation.
Reminds me of when I was 17 and my boyfriend was 21 can’t forget the feelings that were running through my body how I loved this young man and we have been married 52 years now soon to be 53
Underrated group.
just wished they continued on w/ the same guys. the group played from 1967 to 1972. waiting for CD box sets & DVDs
@@davidchan9632 They planned to continue until the typical scumbag types in the industry wanted to control them and write the music FOR them. Union Gap knew their music would suck ass and so they all quit. Gary went on solo for a few but without financial backing from companies, he also faded :(
Very
We're all still watching him perform after more than 50 years -- that's quite a high rating in my book 😊 Great talent
A few years ago early in the morning I passed through Union Gap in Washington State I stopped at a convenience store and ask the clerk if he could direct me or tell me where Gary Puckett lived the clerk said I don't know but here's the phone book it was a joke and the clerk didn't get it but my sister and I found it amusing I also saw Gary Puckett back in the mid-80s it was a dinner theater with Gary as the musical entertainment we were so close to him that well he's saying he also spit and he kept apologizing great show
The original lyric was "did no one ever tell you the facts of life." (Not, "the way of life") - Looks like the producers of the show got to them like they did with The Doors, and The Rolling Stones ... 1:41
Gary Pucket has that timeless voice that brings you back to that breathless feeling of first love and desire .. I could listen endlessly to hom sing. I feel like Im in love for the first time every time i hear him sing.❤
We are Australian. My wife and I met and spoke with Gary in 2016. I was an Australian soldier during the Vietnam war and he and the Union Gap were one of our favourite bands. It was a highlight of my life meeting him and we were impressed with his genuine appreciation of the military and its sacrifices
Thanks for posting that
Lovely post, thankyou
As another Aussie for those lost in service, Lest We Forget. I grew up in the 60's in Melbourne and his music was always playing in our house. I saw him at Crown I think in the late 1990's, it was a terrific performance.
thank you for your service
"I'll Shower Your Heart With Tenderness Endlessly"... One of the most beautiful and romantic lines of songs ever written... and WOW - This Voice!!! FANTASTIC!!! 🎶💖🎶
Very beautiful and romantic ~~sung from the heart ❤️🧡💙💖💟💝💚💜💛☮️✨🙏💕♥️
Amazing song! I use to walk around singing this song when I was alittle kid. My mother loved it and would play it !
i mean, he's singing about pressuring a woman into sex, so hey, if you think that's romance, that's a bit odd.
@@atomeyes99 he WOOS a woman's LOVE in a very beautiful and romantic way!!! And so it should be!!! You shouldn't drag everything in the dirt!!!
@@atomeyes99
Sex is a wonderful part of Love. You shouldn't have a problem with it. But everyone has the opportunity to say No.
What makes Gary such a awesome singer is the way he sings with his heart into the song. He emotionally sings and his expressions really shows his feelings when singing. A GREAT SINGER NO DOUBT !! I GIVE HIM A 10+
As Judy Garland said, sing it like you mean it.
Totally agree!!❣️
1,000% AGREE. Great Singer. He should be in the R&R Hall of Fame.
I thought they used autotune on all his tracks...and used someone else to hit the highest notes during live concert?
Hello how are you doing?
Just listen to that complete, intense, on pitch, harmony background vocal arrangement through the verses and chorus...an amazing performance, recording, mix and production. Totally unique for the era. And Puckett's range, power and tone? No one could touch it...
certainly not todays imposters the worst point in the history music
A masterclass for today's so-called singers.
where is the orchestra ?
Yo u up
This is PLAYBACK, the original studio recording and the band are miming the performance, except Gary who is really singing. Do you see an orchestra anywhere????????
Gary Puckett had one of the best voices of the 60s.
OMG I was 8, we'd be in the basement singing our hearts out into hairbrush microphones along with the AM radio... Take me back!
OMG he has a great voice, wow!!!
ever since i was a kid i loved Gary Puckett for my 61st Birthday 4 years ago my brother took me to see him he was playing in CA we had so much fun
Hi Janice how are you?
60's and 70's had the very best rock and roll. The boomer time formed rock and roll. I'm so happy to have grown up in that time.
So many groups and so many songs that defined two decades!
Gary's vocals were second to none when singing Lady Willpower!! 👍👍👍
I thought they used pitch control to take his vocal pitch up a few keys? That's how he sounded amazing on record?
@@kenjoneslee Nope; he is here singing live to the EXACT studio backing track. His range is A#2 to A4, about 2 octaves.
Not only one of the most awesome voices ever...he was gorgeous, as well. I miss the 60's & 70's like crazy! 🙂🙂💘💘
Let's get a time machine and go back to those amazing years I would in a heartbeat 💓
As do we all!!!
@@brianhiggins3090 if we could go back I’d make sure they didn’t wear those green coats lol.
Yes the 60's and 70's were good times..With the exception of Vietnam..!
yes the greatest era of all for music most of today's does not compare
Who's still listening to the golden voice of Gary puckett then you've got great taste's in quality music he's got a whole lot of soul in his VOICE EPIC make's me happy 😎🤓💯🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🎼🎹🎼🎸🎷🪕🎺🎵🎻✊✊✊✊
I am still listening and anyone one else with class
HE’S A BUM !!
The epitome of 60s pop music ..Doesn't get much better than this.
When you got on the Ed Sullivan show, you know you've made it.
when i want to hear beauty in a female voice i go to Karen Carpenter--and when i want to hear "incredible" in a male voice i go to Gary Puckett..what a voice!!!
Absolutely!!
Gary Pucket, yes, but also Johnny Contardo. And agree with Karen, too.
True that 💯
Karen had not really come into her own when she died...Just imagine what she could have done....she was the best....
Top singer with top group supporting him, fab music from a fab era which unfortunately will never return again.
Man he can sing!!! AND A GREAT VOICE !!!!
I think they go hand in hand, don't they?
Beautiful voice 💖
Can't take how much I LOVE Gary Puckett!
My Aunt was one of Gary Puckett's math teachers in high school in San Diego. He stopped by one day to say hi and she asked how he was doing and he gave her one of his albums and signed it for her. I guess he was doing OK, huh? She said he was a good student and always very polite.
I'm going to see Gary Puckett with my dad tomorrow.
Lucky! Was he wonderful? I'm 65 and I'd love to see him perform.
@@debbiesparks471 yes, he was great. I couldn't believe how well he sounded and looked at his age.
Where? How was the show
@@tinamerlot4403 Pittsburgh. It was good and Mr. Puckett looks and sounds great for his age. They put on a show called "Rock and Remember Live" every year and I took my dad this year. They also had the Loving Spoonful (in its current iteration with just one original member) and Little Anthony among others.
Man it brings back a lot of memories Gary Puckett and the union gap lady willpower what a memory maker where did the time go goddamnit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
a FAR cry from what we hear today... very few could compare. This was made a year before I was born. I love the music from that era
I love Gary Puckett! Awesome singer….Elvis even had his cd’s in his collection. I agree wholeheartedly with what you said and then you asked God to damn it. Ruined the moment…..
Fantastic song!!!!❤
I'm 65 and I love this song! But I'm hooked on Woman Woman. If it pops up on my CZcams I can't help listening to it. All their songs are good!
I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s nothing can compare to the music we had back then, I’ve noticed most of the married people do actually wear a wedding band, I like that
I love that he can emote without being over dramatic. Perfect voice 🌹⚡⚡📀
Exactly...there are so many vocalists today that feel they have to act out every single word with emotion that can be so maudlin.
Had the pleasure of interviewing Gary on radio a couple of times. Great talent.
Was 18 when this song came out...terrific time to grow up...
I am doing well...
この曲は私の中学生時代の思い出の曲です。まさか、わたしの人生が終わる前に本物のユニオンギャップの動画が見れるとは思いませんでした。
ありがとう！
Why wasn't this guy a superstar? What a voice.
Era of great music and when the world was once sane.
What a voice!
What a time to be alive when some of the best music ever was being produced in the 60s and 70s. None of the music today even comes close. Sadly for a lot of young people they will never experience what real music is like.
You couldn't be more accurate in your feelings!
Saw my now husband (52 years this month) for the first time at a Gary Puckett concert in 1969 in college. Still love this song and Gary Puckett (oh yeah, and my hubby too)!
Gary Puckett you are the absolute best!!!! Your voice is so unique, recognizable, powerful and with no strain. Its pure joy for me to listen and see you sing. You weren’t hard on the eyes at all my friend. You and your music touched my heart and filled my soul (and still does) like no one else ever could or wii!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Gary Puckett had an amazing natural voice - no screeching, weird effects, etc. I never realized what a great voice he had/has.
@Scott Williams You are 100 percent correct - Peace
Excellent singer. Just saw him in concert on February 2nd 2022. He said he would turn 80 in October. My daughters and I just love him.
Hi hope you are fine
Gary's tone and range are beautiful, he really needs to be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame.
Being 60+, I remember hearing this song on the radio while growing up. I always loved it..❤
Great singer
Gary Puckett and the Union Gap were fine looking young men and they dressed so groovy. They are one of my favorite pop artists from the 60s.
ONLY I CAN USE THE TERM “GROOVY” GARY, ITS PATENTED !- DIG 😎 ?
@@BeardedItaliano PLEASE PUT DOWN THE CRACK PIPE REMEMBER WHAT THE LATE GREAT WHITEY HOUSTON SAID "CRACK IS WACK" GROOVY AND FAR OUT LOL
What an incredible voice .........................all those amazing songs are rooted in that incredible voice ............
How handsome is he and how magnificent is his voice ahhhh
These entertainers today don't have it . God Bless you Gary Puckett love your music
One of the very best groups of the 1960s, which was a decade that gave us more legendary bands than any decade in history. Gary Puckett & The Union Gap will outlast most groups that came after them.
For all of the not so positive things that happened our contributions to culture are probably the best in history and yes I'm a child of the 60s
Romantic words, beautifully arranged by Jerry Fuller, soaringly sung by a powerfully gifted Gary Puckett - Um, what more could you ask? Wiil love this forever!
Yes nice. I remember this song during my youth.
Hi Elissa how are you?
Many nights as a teenager, I studied to The Grassroots & Gary Puckett and the Gap. Put both albums on and fell asleep after hours of study. Years later, I lived in Yakima, WA. It's a high desert valley, with two GAPS. The western one is Selah Gap. It takes you to Seattle. The eastern one is Union Gap. It takes you through the 11M acre Yakima reservation and towards the Columbia River. Just a bit of trivia for your day.
What a pure voice
Thank you for liking my comment
Thanks for liking my comment whoever you are 🤠
Absolutely Michael
I was just a little girl when this song came out too young to understand such adult emotions. Good memories.
Hi hope you are fine
I heard this song in 1991-1992. I was 8 years old. My parents got me hooked on '60s music young, and for that, I'm eternally grateful.
Gary Puckett and the union gap.your lovely music, songs all of the band,you guys are the best.always will be. Thanks, and God bless Humanity forever
Hi Vickie hope you are doing fine
Gary Puckett, incredible person with a more than incredible voice!
I remember being 12, and dancing with my real mom in the Bar, what I would give to do that again and show her what a man I had become!!!!
Beautiful ❤! Just looked this up. 1968 and such quality of sound and picture… I thought this was a Tom Jones song… 🙄 would certainly be worthy of him. For sure Gary & The Union Gap should have (had) much more fame. Harmonies like the Beach Boys and a lead singer like Tom Jones. Plus the melody & Lyrics… it’s 50 yrs later now, but I will find more of their songs and add them to my playlist !
Such a powerful voice. Love his music.
Best male vocals ever...stage elegance and best of quality music.
