BECAUSE--THE DAVE CLARK FIVE (NEW ENHANCED RECORDING) 720P

Well I finally got around to enhancing this classic. I put it off because I knew I would have a serious project in dealing with this song. I wanted more fuller harmonies and a acoustic guitar to fill in empty spots.
The vocals were very difficult and took 2 days to figure out what kind of vocals would sound good. I had to go verse by verse and try different arrangements that I thought would work in keeping with the
the quality of the original. I can't believe how pretty this song was from the day I first heard it. Songs like this are not written by today's
musical drop outs. These guys are legends in the British invasion.
Hope you DC-5 fans like this new enhanced version!

It’s 2022, if you’re still listening to this classic song, give me a thumbs up. This song reminds me the beauty and nobility of the human soul still exist, in contrast of the war which is going on nowadays.

I'm a little older than you guys and I was playing this on the radio for you! "Because" is, for me, The DC5 at their best, followed closely by "Can't You See That She's Mine." Solid band, but while Clark could keep a beat he "had some issues" rolling around the set for fills. Proof of the old adage: KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid)! When the DC5 was new we thought it would be The Beatles and them, not the Beatles and Stones as it turned out. I wonder if Clark's shady business practices had anything to do with it.

This is the DC5's "Signature Song" that I am still grooving on as the year 2022 ends. This is a timeless classic that will forever be loved for years to come by the young of today and us "baby boomers" who were alive when the British Invasion 'hit' the American music scene in the mid-1960's. Happy 2023 Everyone from New Mexico USA!

[@countrypaul]

Mike, you're idealizing it. True, though, about 24-hour propaganda channels and "anti-social" media. We had our issues then, but it was easier to understand them with a common set of facts, or certainly closer to that. But I digress - this is a gorgeous song, then, now and always. Thank you DC5!

Scott Hunt It's a Dave Clark song, not Mike Smith. Mike is singing lead on it because he was their lead singer, and a great one at that. One of the very best. But Dave Clark wrote the song.

[@scotthunt2479]

@@mtp4430 Look this up on Wikipedia ("Because" Dave Clark Five) and it states in the first paragraph that Mike was a co-writer. But other articles point out that Dave Clark had absolutely no expertise at all in songwriting, and he only took a credit b/c the band was named after him. If the truth be known, Mike Smith probably wrote the song with precious little assistance from DC. Moreover, there are other articles where someone named Ron Ryan claims he co-wrote or wrote song of the band's biggest hits, including "Because" so who really knows? A decent read can be found at www.richieunterberger.com/wordpress/tag/the-dave-clark-five/

[@scotthunt2479]

@UCV5tI5SYLNWyz8NpCKg6wcw You're totally clueless. I was born in the 50's, so I know this music very well. You ought to do your research before you start spouting off about things you're only guessing about. To many who were close to the band, Dave Clark took credit for much of what he didn't do, so stop giving him more credit than he deserves. And before you start disputing anything in Wikipedia, why don't you prove you know more than they do and have the evidence to back it up. Until then, you'd be better to remain silent and only be thought of as a fool rather than opening your mouth and removing all doubt.

[@mtp4430]

@@scotthunt2479 You we're born in the 50s, so what did that make you, like 7 years old when they recorded this material? You're a disrespectful idiot. I spent 35 years in the music business and you tell me I'm spouting off. What have you done in the music business? Do you write, do you produce, are you a promoter? What was your function in the business? Go ahead, I'm waiting tell me what expertise you have in the business? You're the one spouting off? I've played shows promoted by Sid Bernstein. I've played on bills with other acts including Grand Funk Railroad, Leslie West and Mountain, The Outlaws, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Flo and Eddie (The Turtles), Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge, Dion Dimucci, and many others. I'm not bragging nor am I talking down to you but don't you be disrespectful and tell me I'm spouting off about something I clearly no more about than you. Go ahead, find me an article or an interview with Mike Smith saying that he co-wrote the song and didn't get credit for it? I'm done, over and out, and I wouldn't even dignify you with another comment. Spouting off???? How? Because you're totally misinformed? That's you spouting off my friend. Go ahead, Mr research, post something with Mike Smith saying what your claiming. Certainly he'd be bitching about it and it must be documented somewhere. I want to see and hear Mike Smith making those claims.

Back in the late 60's, My band The Kastaways had the immense pleasure of opening for The Dave Clark 5 at the Boston Gardens. We where a local band from the town of Winchester and only in our early twenty's when we had the gig. I have to say these guy's where complete gentleman, and fun to be around. We had a dynamite time playing ,the Garden was packed and we where all rocking. Alas they are all gone now except for Dave, but I still have all the memories of that night.

[@fangirllinda]

Valarie Newsham I think all DC5 fans were disappointed to find out that the band members may have been shortchanged.It’s hard to know all the details, but maybe the guys just weren’t aware of what they were signing away on those contracts.And then there’s Ron Ryan....🤦🏻‍♀️ The most disappointing story(and saddest) is how Dave allegedly didn’t come up with the funds to buy Mike the special wheelchair or van that he needed after the accident.That breaks my heart😞especially since Dave often refers to himself and Mike as being “mates”.The only up side to that story is there may have been some royalties from the use of GAO in the 2006 movie “Garfield A Tail of Two Kitties” I sure hope some of that went to Mike. Having said all that, the silver lining is that 56 years later,The DC5 music still makes me smile 🎶💕🎶 RIP Denis,Mike, and Rick.
