[@LaptopLarry330]

In the mid-1960s in the UK, there was a "Mod" fashion movement, which had some sophisticated, experimental clothes, and more music featuring organs and electric pianos. Some of it had a contemporary (for its time) Jazz influence to its sound. Although bands like The Beatles, The Kinks, and The Animals had the "Mod" look in their public wardrobe, their music was completely different, focusing on their inspiration by American Rock, R & B, early-Soul, and Blues music. For an unconventional take on "Mod" music, check out the 1964 song, "I Can't Explain", by The Who. After the release of this single, the group quickly changed the focus of their sound to harder-edged Rock music. If the both of you want to listen to some more organ-based Rock music, check out the 1959 Rock instrumental, "The Happy Organ", by Dave "Baby" Cortez.

[@eclconsulting]

The Zombies were big in the 60's, like The Animals. Music videos weren't really a thing then, but this was perfect. The song is about a woman who is perfect looking on the outside, but inside, there's nothing there. The woman in the video just sits there looking perfect, not moving, suggesting nothing inside. And the ending of the song shows there's nothing more to say. It's over. Next song from the Zombies should be Time of the Season.

Unlike today, the bands from my era, the 60's, could sing and play instruments without autotune and special effects, like the Beatles. It's nice for this 70 year old to see you younger generation discovering the great music that I grew up with.

[@LesCish]

I find it hard to like newer music, too. But it's ironic that in the film being watched, the Zombies are clearly lip syncing. My parents' generation said the same thing about rock and roll. Just one more version of 'kids these days!'

I'll second that Argent suggestion.

[@texashookem22]

The Zombie’s were groundbreaking. “Time of the Season” is the ultimate vibe, and one the greatest keyboard solos in rock music, imo.

[@bevil4aday]

"Tell Her No" is a another great song by them.

[@gregorymoore2877]

I second the nomination for "Tell Her No"

[@pattimurphyrocks]

The sixties, of course. The decade that exploded with the best music ever composed. The song has a haunting quality, and it is a warning. There is a sense of sadness. It is all the minor chords and soaring vocals that express yearning so fervently. The organ is so jazzy and prominent and the bass plays like a lead guitar. Again, it is just another example of brilliance from the time.

[@jodyjackson5475]

👏🏻👌🏻perfectly said

[@toddmason5499]

Electric piano. Part of what made it stand out at the time (a lot of the cover versions feature organs instead, as well).

[@jamesnoble6845]

Wow, I am freaking old. The Zombies were the very first live band I ever heard, and this was the song they performed first. It was at the Paramount Theater in Times Square, New York City, August of 1964. The Zombies were followed by Eric Burdon and The Animals, and the show closed with The Dave Clark Five. I was eleven. Oh, and the ticket cost two dollars and fifty cents.

Great 60's band and very underrated -- The Dave Clark Five : "Glad All Over", "Bits and Pieces", "Catch Us If You Can" and a slow "Because". If the Beatles had a rival, this was them -- kinda like Coke or Pepsi, Chevy or Ford.....

[@loilt5091]

Colin Blunstone is easily one of the greatest, overlooked & underrated voices in rock history. Rod Argent's keys are also one the earliest examples of jazz, in 60's popular music. Their fellow British Invasion rivals, the Beatles, were having a Hard Days Night in the summer of '64, when the Zombies, She's Not There, hit the charts. At the moment, they were more musically sophisticated, their harmonies rivaled them as well...truly, ahead of their time. Ironically, Odessey & Oracle, their '67 masterpiece & swan song, was recorded at Olympic Studios, literally as the Beatles were exiting, having just completed Sgt. Pepper. Time of the Season, was on that album & not released as a #1 hit until 1969, about a year and a half after they'd already disbanded. I've seen 1000's of live music acts over the decades, but the only triple standing ovation, (for Time of the Season), during the Zombies' 2nd Invasion, March 15, 2007...42 years since they were last in town. That same day, I met 2 women while standing in line, for the show. One of them was initially shy, but when we started talking about the Zombies, she really came to life, asking me if I'd seen them last time they played in town? Puzzled, having missed it, I enquired when this was? 1965, (I turned 5 that year)...she then produced photographic evidence of the two girlfriends posing with both Colin & Rod, outside the venue, at that very show‼️❤ ☆ Check out what many feel should've also been a hit from, Odessey & Oracle; kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5fVlaJoptOYpas

[@sinenominecc]

Complete agreement on Blunstone's voice. Zombies were a unique sound in the British invasion, and there has not been another group that has sounded like them since.

[@shyphyre]

"She's Not There" and The Animals "House of the Rising Sun" were both released in the summer of 1964 during the British Invasion. That is why they have a similar groove. As for the video with the girls, this was before MTV and music videos. This is probably a clip when they performed on Shindig or Hullaballo, two teen age dance shows that featured popular music groups of the time.

[@jonathanlocke6404]

Most of the "performance" videos you will see from this era are likely from broadcast television. The bands would mostly lipsync to the actual recording of their song, and they would have little to no say in how they were presented on television. I imagine most of them saw the set they were to perform on for the first time maybe that afternoon at rehearsal. There would be a director and a set designer and maybe a choreographer who would have come up with the ideas for the stage and maybe moves for dancers...

[@josephpowell3949]

That's why they are called the Zombies, from the 60s! Groovy music!

[@janicepopham2352]

Another band with multiple singers from this era is The Association. "Never My Love", "Windy" & "Cherish" were their big hits. These bands recorded in the 1960's; black & white videos are from the late '50's to early '60's.

Nice songs, but "Along Comes Mary" is their tour-de-force. Very complex, both lyrically and harmonically.

[@827dusty]

I think this is from 1965. This is still considered one of the great "Classic Rock" songs ever written and recorded. The Zombies were considered to be ahead of their time as far as the music they created. They were wonderful musicians, just listen to the Bass line, and the great Keyboard work. Even the vocals are top notch. Great Band.

[@toddmason5499]

The video might've been shot in '65 (as noted by others, for one or another UK pop-music or variety show), but they recorded the song in '64. It was first being played in the US about the time I was born.

[@elgonwilliams7624]

One of the less well-known yet influential bands of the 60's. "You Really Got Me" is another great hit. Also "Tell Her No." Rod Argent plays keyboards, a phenomenal talent. After the Zombies he started the band Argent that had the hits "Hold Your Head Up" and "God Gave Rock and Roll To You."

The Zombies were a 60's band. This song was released in 1964. Other great Zombies songs were "Time Of The Season" and "Tell Her No". Rod Argent, one of the original members of The Zombies went on to form the group Argent in 1969, and their big hit was "Hold Your Head Up" released in 1972.

[@827dusty]

The Zombies were part of what became known as "The British Invasion." In 1963-64, The Beatles came to America from Britain, and overnight, the Rock and Roll landscape completely changed. When they appeared on the weakly Sunday night Variety show, called "The Ed Sullivan Show" at 8 pm every Sunday evening, almost every tv in the country, watched that show religiously. The show featured acts, that had something for every age group in the family, so there was something for gramma and Grampa, Mom and dad, and for the kids, it was usually a Rock and Roll Band. After The Beatles did what they did, it was a never ending stream of British Rock Bands and artists every week on the show. The Rolling Stones, Herman's Hermits, and on and on. There were American Bands and artists as well, but that first appearance of The Beatles started the "British Invasion."

[@johnathandavis3693]

Yeah I remember 45's being a buck, LP's like 5 or $6 in the mid 70's. and if you were lucky you would see a band you liked on a variety show, they would play one of these "videos" that you never saw again. I remember you would hear a song on the radio, and the DJ wouldn't say who it was, and it would drive you nuts.

[@Blue-qr7qe]

That's 45 rpm (rotations per minute). Two songs: A side and B side.The entire song was laid into a groove which spiraled inward from the record's outer edge. A needle traveled in that groove and picked up vibrations (which were the recorded imprint of the song). This signal was then amped and sent to the speakers. Interesting that the words "groove", "amped", and "vibe" found their musical birthplace in a record player. LP was another term for an album. It meant Long Play. It was larger than a 45, and rotated at 33 and ⅓ times per minute. Usually 5 or 6 songs on each side.

One of the best of the early British Invasion bands. Other great songs from them are Tell Her No, and Time of the Season. This song came out in 1964.

[@alanspagnolia9474]

My "PARROT" label 45, with the number sticker 8 !!! Still have it, too !! This song was "FAB" back then. I loved this song them, and still love it today. Never gets old. Why should it? We had the most memorable songs from the 1960's / 1970's !!

[@regwilliams6952]

Rod Argent & Colin Blunstone are still touring today as the Zombies. They are a fantastic band and Colin's voice has worn well. Seen them many times over the decades

[@gsparkman]

The 60s was such a Renaissance for Rock. Great time to be alive.

[@debbiewashabaugh9891]

The lead singer is Colin Blunstone. I’ve always thought it was about a woman who was cold and heartless. Judging by the faces on the women in this video that may have been a good guess. 😀

[@rogergroover4633]

Another 60's group with a haunting sound was "The Beau Brummels" and their songs "Just A Little" and "Laugh Laugh".

[@stevebuckskinner5482]

They were ahead of their time as far as instrumentally goes. Especially that baseline and keyboard solo.

[@TheDivayenta]

I think they influenced the Doors.

[@Derry_Aire]

@@TheDivayenta The bass and keyboards definitely.

[@bomo2266]

This song takes me back to 1964/65 and playing it on the radio of the new 1965 Chevelle Malibu S\S Thank you for playing it

[@dennisloveland498]

I discovered The Zombies years ago. They only had three songs that still get played on the radio today, She's Not There, Tell Her No, and Time of the Season. But they had lots of other great songs. One of my favorites is I Can't Make Up My Mind.

[@janepiper-lunt7655]

Saw them a couple of years ago and they are still just as talented. Rod Argent, loved his band Argent too

[@leisastalnaker3790]

I was just a kid when this came out, but it’s still a great song. It has never gotten old. I still sing and rock along with the organ solo.

[@JamesCarson-tm8df]

Great group classic British music and sound in some ways since their back together musically even sound better

[@StevenW1958]

I saw the Zombies at a 2007 concert in Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY. Lead singer Colin Blunstone sounded as he did in 1964, and Rod Argent was his greatness on the organ. What a treat it was to see them.

[@JoeJBuddha]

Wow. Blast from the past. I loved it in the day. Thanks for bringing it back.

[@cunningdeb3129]

Gerry and the Pacemakers are another great British group from this time era. My fav by them is Ferry Cross the Mersey Musical performances pre- 1980s are generally performances from TV shows. A few special performances may have been made for TV (like Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody) but the era of music videos as we know them hadn't started yet.

[@lmitchell3604]

Don’t let the sun catch you cryin’!

[@maryannschumacher1370]

1965, I was in 5th grade and loved this song. Back then, all we had was the radio, so you had to wait until your favorite songs came on the radio! We'd keep switching stations hoping to hear our songs! 🌞👍♥️

[@TonieMarie1962]

Amber...Yes, His voice is definitely Haunting! 😉👍💙

[@stevegettler7976]

Very unique song for the time with no fade out…that is part of why it was so popular and memorable

[@Poet640]

I know you guys like the 60s couple of songs to try, Tommy Roe “Dizzy”, Lou Christie, “ Lightening Strikes”.

[@skygazer858]

Tommy James (pretty much any)

[@fermanulibarri7310]

It's the 60's....the best decade for music!!! I have notice the palm tree and I have been watching this video for over 50 years.

[@jimmcevers9443]

'Tell Her No' and 'Time of the Season' also great oldies. A bit more "traditional" for the time.

[@williamdemarrais8318]

I remember (am 64) the "British Invasion" period of the 60"s. British bands were just getting attention. Beatles and Rolling Stones just arrived on the music scene in USA. It was a great time .

[@glassontherocks]

What could be haunting about Zombies LOL... "Time of the season"

[@2000globetrotter]

The lead singer of the Zombies was Colin Blunstone, who had a massive hit with "Say you dont mind" in the 70s. This recording was made in 1964.

[@chetstevens4583]

Should probably do Hermin's Hermits, The Kinks and the Hollies sometime soon to round out the British invasion reactions.

[@pamelajordan2890]

YEAH.. exactly what I got!!!❤️☮️

[@starleemartin1961]

"Tell Her No" is an awesome Zombies song, possibly my favorite one with Colin Blunstone's haunting voice.

[@allensaunders449]

My favorite sixers band very underated. They have alot of top material

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

Love this group! I was 16 when they came out with song. This was part of the British invasion. The wonderful late 60's after the Beatles hit in 1964!

[@ScottyM1959]

This song is right out of the 60s British Invasion.. Its the heavy bass tone of the music and just the melody. His voice is creepy in its way especially with the slight echo effect. You should check out their song Time Of The Season.

[@a1gr8biz]

Another great 60's group was the The Beau Brummels. Laugh Laugh was one of my favorites. Great vocals.

[@dfunkt2291]

First heard this song as a little kid in the early 80s exploring my Dad's vinyl collection (epic, and mine now). The bass had me hooked at first listen. It's a fantastic song. Great lyrics. Perfect vibe. Thanks for reacting to this one!

[@carltruman4625]

Have NEVER seen this song on TV or video as a teen listening was all that was needed!!

[@groovydjs]

Jordan, it was just an electric piano, not a guitar.

[@francisseidel8014]

It was Rod Argent on a Hohner Pianet, a very unique sound. The strangest part of this video is that the barely showed Argent even though he was critical to that Zombies sound.

[@teleteg787]

@@francisseidel8014 That's just a fact of life for us keyboard players. Rod, along with Jon Lord and Jimmy Smith, were my inspirations to learn to play.

[@clannad99germany70]

Great song and later covered by SANTANA !

[@clannad99germany70]

Yep !
