Original video edited and AI remastered with HQ stereo sound.
"Laugh, Laugh" is a song by American rock group The Beau Brummels, written by guitarist Ron Elliott and produced by Sylvester Stewart, later known as Sly Stone. Released in December 1964 as the band's debut single, the song reached number 15 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart the following February. "Laugh, Laugh" was the first hit single to come out of the emerging San Francisco music scene in response to the British Invasion. The song was later included on the band's first full-length album, Introducing the Beau Brummels, released in April 1965.
"Laugh, Laugh" was released in December 1964, seven months after the band's formation. In January 1965, the song entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 96. The song remained in the top 40 portion of the chart for eight weeks, peaking at number 15 in February. Donahue believed the single would have peaked at number one if the band was on a label with stronger distribution. In Canada, the song reached number two on RPM magazine's singles chart. As the song climbed the charts, many listeners assumed the Beau Brummels were British, due to the band's name and musical style. For their part, Donahue and Mitchell spread rumors that the band was indeed from the UK, and had the band dress in Beatlesque suits.
"Laugh, Laugh" was the first hit single from a burgeoning San Francisco music scene-including such bands as Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, We Five, Moby Grape, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Country Joe and the Fish- to respond to the British Invasion. The song is credited as one of the earliest tracks to blend beat music with folk rock, even before The Byrds recorded "Mr. Tambourine Man." Chris Hillman, who played bass guitar with the Byrds, saw the Beau Brummels at a Los Angeles concert, and later remarked: "I remember them doing the hit they had, 'Laugh, Laugh.' They really sort of answered the Beatles before we did, in that sense." However, Byrds singer-guitarist Roger McGuinn claimed "they had a little trouble singing in tune." The song was one of 10 pop singles named in a January 1966 issue of Billboard which credited the use of harmonica in folk, pop, and rhythm and blues (R&B) music for sparking a harmonica sales boom at record retailers in 1964 and 1965.
The Beau Brummels promoted the single by appearing on several television shows, including a 1965 episode of The Flintstones in which the band gave an animated performance as the Beau Brummelstones. In 1994, "Laugh, Laugh" was selected to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll exhibit. Lead singer Sal Valentino reworked the song for his 2008 solo album, Every Now and Then.

T A L E N T.
I was a poor kid growing up and the music of the 60's was the one thing I always counted on to put a smile on my face every day. Great stuff, great times and memories.
This is back when people could actually sing! Sal Valentino had a great voice!
This hit song was performed by the group in animated form when they guest-starred with "Shindig" host Jimmy O'Neill in a classic episode of "The Flintstones" in 1965!!!!
"The Beau Brummelstones"
@@oldrocker74"I just love the beau brummelstones...don't you betty?"
Thank you Hanna Barbera for introducing me to the Beau Brummelstones! Love this song!
You're all so right! I was only 5 years old. When I saw that episode of The Flintstones. I never even heard of that song. Until I watched that cartoon. Gosh I'm an old lady of 64. 🤣 But I still love that song! 😊
I also was introduced to this song by The Flintstones. Great to hear it in Stereo for the first time.
"You don't learn everything there is to... know in school." 💓💓💓
I was a teenager when this song came out. Brings back memories.
I love the vocals and the harmonica. Awesome song and group!!
Ladies and Gentleman without delay I give you......The Beau BrummelStone !!!!!!!!
Such good drumming!!!
That's a blast from the past!
We took over use of the cottage in Canada in 66. Dad worked in Buffalo, so we were car less and no phone. Outside of a pay phone about a mile away. I found this 45 along with many other from the late 50's to 65. The girls who were there, had left them behind. We listened to them over and over..This one was my favorite. What a magic summer.
..........................this was amazing when i first heard this gem......1964 i was in heaven.........this song made me start playing the harmonica !
A great impression everlasting, voice, tune, meaning since very young.
Love it.
They were So good on the Mike Douglas Show, from Philly.
This video clip of The Beau Brummels was taken from the NBC music variety series, "HULLABALOO" (1965-1966), the main competitor to ABC's popular series, "SHINDIG!" (1964-1966)
Thanks for confirming, that’s what I was thinking. Hullabaloo always had those girls standing in those poses, while the group performed theirs song.
@@cd3694 "HULLABALOO" ran for approx. 48 episodes, from 1965 to 1966 on NBC, while ABC's "SHINDIG!" ran for 86 episodes, and was replaced the following week by "BATMAN" (1966-1968). The Beau Brummels even appeared in the goofy low budget movie, "VILLAGE OF THE GIANTS" (1965), which Bert I. Gordon directed, and also appeared in animation on ABC's "THE FLINTSTONES" in Dec. 1965, called "Shinrock A Go-Go", while singing "Laugh, Laugh", with the animated likeness of the late Jimmy O' Neil, the creator and host of "SHINDIG!"
Sal Valentino had the voice of an angel! Thanks, Smurfstools.
Thanks Tom!
the ultimate classic song!!
This great addition prompted me to look up and listen to Lower Level song. Sal Valentino's heavenly voice is very effective. Really interesting song that no one could write today - thanks Ron Elliott (lead guitarist) for both these songs. He and Sal are still alive, yay!!
BOTH GREAT!
An old episode of the Flintstones brought me here! They were introduced as the Beau Brummmelstones lol! That's Bedrock for ya'! 😅
Yes I remember that. Nice memories!
Same here.
I think that's how a lot of us 70's kids were introduced to this song. 😀
@@sikwilly45 💯💯 Same here
Always love this song❣🙏
I was 10th grade, one of my favorites
I was 14 when this song came out loved it
Sal is great, saw him working at a furniture warehouse, we started singing this as we unloaded a truck
I used to cut his hair. What a sweet man. Hi Sal if you’re reading this! 🎉👏🏽🥰🙌🏾
60 years ago this year. Where did the time go?
I always Adored this classic tune from the 60's....especially LOVE the harmonica....thanks for this great clip !! 💜 : )
Thanks!
Great tune!! Loved it then. Love it now.
Loved these guys
Love this song
Loved this one too!!😅😂
Great harmonica part on this song. I don't think I noticed that when record came out 60 years ago.😊❤
I remember this song from a Flinstones episode when I was a child way back in the early 1970's (I think the actual episode was filmed in 1965). Loved it then still love at the age of 56.
Shinrock with host Jimmy O'Neilstone, the beau brummelstones
What happened to these great groups? When did it change, miss it!!! ☺🎸🎶💕💌
I agree.
i saw these guys at a reunion concert in golden gate park in sf with the dinosaurs 7 15 1984 i would love to see or hear a copy of that show both bands were awsome
I loved alk the songs this group sang back in the dark ages.
Saw this band at The Lions Den in Dayton, Ohio in ‘65…the house band at The Lions Den was the Rick Z Combo who became Rick and the Raiders….who became THE McCOY’S…Hang on Sloopy…Rick and Randy Zehringer went on to play with Edgar Winter and I think Randy Hobbs went on to play bass for Johnny Winter…hot bed of music Dayton was at the time!
Basically one-hit wonders...but this one song is memorable, thanks in large part to the harmonica. Yet another in the long line of US acts that were mistaken for part of the British Invasion.
One of those "Turn It Up" songs. Always loved it. The girls are Not laughing. Thanks so much for this!
Thanks Jim!
At 1:46 you hear someone in the audience say "not funny dude😂"
What a classic song! I also thought they were from the UK! What a concept! A great video perfectly synched with a great HQ audio track! It doesn't get better than this! Thanks, Sammy!
They do look like a British group, Bob! Thanks for stopping by to hear this great classic. Cheers.
Well, Beau Brummel was an Englishman during the Regency Era. The epitome of a dandy. Look him up.
Every time I hear this stupid song I am livid! What an evil evil evil man. I wish I didn’t love this song so much! Lol I am really glad for the superb sound! Keep the music coming please! Do you have the more I see you by Chris Montez? What an awesome song!
Nicely done, Sammy! Another one that gets better with age. Thanks!
Thanks John.
Thanks
Those drum,s!
Who else first heard this song on the Flintstones?
Another great clip I've never seen, and the audio's excellent...thanks Sammy
Thanks again Count.
Superb song Sammy - Luv it !! Nice synch too!! Cheers Tiger.
Thanks Tiger. Cheers.
This song is on uncle buck if I remember correctly? Great movie!
The flintstones brought me here
John Gotti broght me here had no choice, I'm a wise guy in the Gambino family.
My wife Rose loves this song & Uncle Buck so I edited this w inserts of him & the neighbour dancing to this song & uploaded 2 months ago...👍
Marcy the neighbor lol
When "Uncle Buck" came out, I searched high and low for a soundtrack, so I could have "Laugh Laugh." No such luck. Odd, in that the film has great songs on it - The Beau Brummels being the best!
Being in 1st grade at the time this was a super cool song. Like, you kind of screwed me....though I was trying to be nice and give you the benefit of the doubt and now it's turned on you? But in a mice, bouncy upbeat way. Ah....the memories. Hey, Catholic school was tough. All those lessons we learned....
Very good matching of stereo to video Sammy.
Thanks as always Jacob.
I'm sure as allot people like me the first time they've heard of The Beau Brummels was on The Flintstones as The Beau Brumelstones but also like me think at first that it's The Beau Brontos of which many including me feel it's a a better name for their Stoneage counterparts.
@stebaer
I don't agree! I think the name. The Beau Brummelstones is a classic. Besides it was The Flinstones show. It's like Anne Margaret's name. Being changed to Anne Margrock. Think about it.... it couldn't have been anything else. 🙄
You could make the argument that the Beau Brummels actually invented folk-rock, a few months before the Byrds and before Dylan went electric.
Also, is it true that the early Brummels hits were produced by Sylvester Stewart of Sly and the Family Stone fame?
Yes, SlyStone produced them.
LOL! Look at the broad out in the rain? LOLO. Ron Elliot had a very mature view of wo-MEN at a very young age!
Way back when I was 24, doing stuff that would get you put in jail today... we had some fun....
I wonder who had the idea to put them on a pirate ship set, complete with a live parrot??
Funny video😊
The Flintstones.
Audio track synchronisation needs to be adjusted by -200ms.
Well what flew up her nose
I Came Here To Do The Flintstone Flop ‼️ It's Frantic ⁉️
I hate it when somebody Fades out the end of the song like they did on this one. It would have been more intelligence to let it end the way that supposed to end that way you wouldn't have known they were lip syncing
Uncle buck
