This clip should have included the song (A WORLD WITHOUT LOVE) complete.

Quite common at sports events when one team is going down

Sorry, Hickok 45 is youtubes favorite old guy. You are second.

And lyrically, it doesn't make sense being sung by a man, especially in that era.

Just the song please

Well, the Shirelles had a string arrangement that was made by King.

When I was a teenager I played sax in the best rock band on Cape Cod, Ma. We were known as the EXCELS and opened the show for famous bands at the AGOGO IN W. Yarmouth also on the Cape. One memorable night we opened for Peter and Gordon and Eric Burdon and the Animals. Arriving early to setup and tuneup, Peter and Gordon’s stage crew discovered their PA system wasn’t working so we allow them to use our system for which they were very grateful. Both Peter and Gordon were very nice and down to earth and treated us with respect which I remember to this day.

I can't believe you didn't mention Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix! He was the ultimate king of psychedelic music!

Talk about a stage mother!

Very interesting

My Generation was banned on the BBC not because the stuttering might offend stutterers but because stuttering was seen as symptomatic of amphetamine use.

Beatles always preformed their material the best I can’t think of any cover I prefer over the original beatle version

The BEACH BOYS ??????? Oh my GOD… haha

Nice. John Stewart is one of my all time favorite singer/songwriters. Glad to see he's getting some recogniztion.

Groovy 😮

Great song and if memory serves me correctly, they had other songs on radio rotation although not number one.

What about one toke over the line

Shirelles version is #1, with Carole King's version #2. The Four seasons version is not good.(to say it nicely)

The shirells, Carol King, 4 Seasons

Love the Epiphone Casino on the wall

Love this song❤

My youth, Camp Urland, Woodville, TX Summer Camp, Peter & Gordon, " A World Without Love" how fabulous a story about a song I truly loved. That summer a local church in Woodville, invited the staff to a social and we all went. That song was playing and i remember with my extremely shy self to interact with a couple of the girls there. A Great Memory for my 15 year old self. Thanks for the full background on this wonderful 60's era song.

They all suck

Joe Cocker because of the feeling in the vocals

How bout that great guitar work by Johnny Graham and Al McKay ! Especially that signature opening, Whoa…

Very interesting. I love that song.

I knew it asap, was right there in England on a US Air Force base and witnessed the English band’s first hand.

Light my fire..Jimmy Morrison.

"Scotty" was banned in Louisville Kentucky because a local DJ had a young son named Scotty who drown in a local swimming pool.

Carole King + James Taylor. It doesn’t get any better.

The Shirelles! No contest!

You forgot the song " they're coming to take me away ha ha" which was pulled from radio stations for minimizing mental health, it did reach #2 on the Billboard charts however.

Like Carol King, a great composer and writer, but I gotta agree the Shirelles

I have a suggestion for you... do a video for perhaps the strangest track to ever OPEN an album: 'Combination Of The Two' from Big Brother and The Holding Company's second album 'Cheap Thrills'. Probably everybody thinks it's a Janis Joplin cut, though on the album cover itself, it is credited to Sam Andrews! And the lyrics? I defy ANYONE to KNOW them, let alone SING them!

Don’t Bring Me Down by the Pretty Things.

I've learned some more notable facts that are there but well hidden.

#1-The Shirells #2-Carole King.❤❤❤😊😊😊

The Ventures have publicly stated that George Babbitt was the original drummer on Walk Don’t Run and instrumental in the arrangement. Babbitt was inducted into a regional RnR hall of fame for his contribution. That would put your timeline for the new drummer a bit off. Great channel! Throughly enjoy!

If only this guys can read lyrics on Reguetón this days are totally a disgrace , but sounds on the radio etc.

Pretty interesting insights and back grounds fillers ..!!!

As a kid I just loved this song. Just a suggestion, play the song as part of the video. It's a great tune and despite what the Beatles thought, it is an important part of many people's lives!

Thanks a lot Trooper 😊 l turned 8 years old on the 3rd of April 1956 and it wasn't long after that l heard Elvis for the first time. But it was Jail House Rock that Jumped out of the Radio and Grabbed Me! I was hooked!!! I have always preferred his pre army music and visuals and have had Side burns ever (when they finally grew, ten years later) accept when l did my stint in the Australian army 1970 71.😊

I subscribed to your channel because of your often well researched insights from my 'coming of age' (21) era. Some topice are more to my liking than others, but your interst and delivery are a help. All ya had to do was follow the scent of Patcouli oil to find, Sweet Baby James, Tapestry or Big Pink. Thanks.

Loved that song ! This was really interesting !

Always interesting....thanks!

Shirelles #1….. do not like either of the other 2

do you really need to ask ?????? neil is always the best!!!!!!!!!

I could not understand anyone but tTHE SHIRELLS. NO CLUE WHAT THE 4 SEASONS were even singing/saying. SHIRELLS HANDS DOWN! NO CONTEST!

Great piece of musical history!
