Nice work-around, but that was not my cup of tea. For once, I’m too young.

[@lastone783]

Beach Girl, one day you will not be able to say that; although I must admit, I am old and just can’t seem to get into hip hop and rap👵

[@vicmclendon]

Great analysis! Love the song.

[@beachgirl4583]

Lastone, One day is now; I just don’t care for that style of music (or hip hop!). I’m wired for rock, the Deep Purple, Sabbath, eighties hair metal, etc. type of rock. This stuff sounds like it belongs in the soundtrack for “Pleasantville.”

[@arizonadiyhomeandgarden8248]

I always appreciate Fil’s objectivity in the different styles of music he capitalizes. He’s obviously a rocker, but can appreciate other styles. Personally I love this kind of music along with many other styles. Good job on the analysis too!

Smart. I like your workaround. I actually found this last night and watched it, so I am ahead of the game! Love groups like The Tremeloes, The Vogues, The Turtles 🐢, Wee Five, etc. All great sixties sounds that this generation should hear. Thanks, Fil, for figuring it out❣️

[@voulafisentzidis8830]

No auto-tune, anywhere. You're right that youngsters don't know that live bands can sound as good as their records, because today's musicians lack the skills. This confirms the ridiculousness of the music moguls. Your review will introduce this wonderful band from the British Invasion to younger generations. They're too stupid to see they should have you on retainer. Thanks Fil. Love this 60s band, along with Roy Wood, Ray Davies, Geoff Lynne, and so many more.

[@ernestconnell8087]

My favorite is Here Comes My Baby. Didn't know that both hits were cover songs. Rock!

[@garyhiland6013]

I didn't know Here Comes My Baby was a cover song either. And written by one of my all time favorites, Cat Stevens no less!

[@jv-ep2tc]

it was absolutely the destiny of the tremeloes to cover "baby" and make it their own. i have always loved the live sound of that record and I cannot imagine a catchier melody!

Murray Van Creme Not really. As I have mentioned in other comments, having lived in that time, it was Eclectic, and whatever one did, that was the norm. It was not a judging time in music, as I see on utube in today's, world. It was music, and a Big hit.

I am scanning through your back catalogue and was stunned to see this piece on the Tremeloes. 1st. I've always loved the Tremeloes (and many other British Invasion bands). But, and 2nd, there is only one other reaction to this band that I can find on KZbin. That is a pity because they were so so good. This song is a gem, as was the Cat Stevens penned beauty, "Here Comes My Baby', and "Yellow River', and even their cover of "Proud Mary'' . I can tell that your analysis is not only intricate and detailed but enthusiastic. You like these guys too and that cheers my bones. Thank you.

Well done sir, well done love hearing you speak on bands, your insight is awesome. 🤘

[@sue08401]

One thing people may not be aware of is in that era there were so many places to play (they didn't pay well but they paid). Add to this the fact that most of the gigs were where people danced. I'm of that era and I could literally go to 6 dances a week and later when I was playing I could play 6 nights a week. So when you look at those numbers it was just so much easier to learn the newest hits + some golden oldies. Your goal as a band at that time was to see how many times you could get someone to go buy a drink. and keep them dancing

[@wtglb]

Talk about a blast from the past! So good!!

[@stellaluna4671]

I love their music. I watched their videos over and over again already. I had teenage sisters who had me listen to the radio. 60s and 70s. I remember 'Yellow River'.

[@yugrusretep]

Onya Fil! Love your ingenuity and positivity.

[@damialle]

I’ve always been a fan of bands with quality vocals, and the Tremeloes are a great example. There’s something magical about a band that can produced the beautiful sound of voices joined in perfect harmony....there are few who can do it, particularly live. And, as you pointed out, singing in multiple part harmony can be extremely difficult, not to mention playing instruments at the same time. A good choice for one of your spot-on reviews, thanks Fil.

[@danielfronc4304]

Thanks for making it possible for us to see a great live version. Definitely a great job of making it possible for us to see and hear a superb live version of it. It was all over AM radio play summer of '67, especially when we were on summer vacation as it was released in May of 1967. Yet another great Bob Gaudio composition. As a smooth, melodic piece of love "message music" (like To Sir With Love) I had always wished you'd analyze it, never actually thinking you would as there's no awesome guitar work, which you tend to favor. Thanks so very much for taking me back to my younger youthful days of the British invasion. You, sir, are so very varied in your taste and your ability to appreciate all the great early, classic music pieces. So very awesome of you to present this classic love song!

I really loved Here Comes My Baby, but it's only since I have gotten old that I've rediscovered them and seen how good they were. Four great singers, four good musicians. Thanks for highlighting them. They deserve to be remembered.

I know they're particular style isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I have eclectic taste and I love the uniqueness of their sound. Not a lot of bands can perform with this type of quality. The high notes above the other three vocalists makes a fascinating effect and the lyrics of the song are beautiful as well and i feel that their sound captures the emotion of the song subject. Woot woot! The 60s had so much variety. I still listen to all my favees.

[@glenkelley6799]

I think this is a good idea, makes sense with the vagueness of the copyright algorithms. Folk music in the 50's / 60's was a staple on TV and radio, lots of groups like the Four Freshmen, Four Seasons, The Tokens, Four Tops (see the pattern :D ). I can see why they were chosen over the Beatles in 1962, more bankable. Thanks for the analysis, always stop on.

Without wishing to blow smoke, Fil, I really admire your skill and good nature in dealing with this event. You are wise beyond your years! The Trems really are a British institution and always were highly professional. Yes, R & B (when it was just that - rhythm and blues) die hard that I was then, I would curl my lip at the this group's work, but now I can appreciate them, just as you say. I haven't heard (as I can remember) the demo tape that the Tremeloes sent to Decca, but (like many) I have heard the one from the Beatles. I hazard to state that the former was probably a far more professional piece of work and more in line with public tastes at that time; so who then can blame Dick Rowe for his choice? Thanks again, Fil.

I've heard him play. He's nothing special. Dave played live on their live gigs of course. Sir Paul Mccartney said so. The DC5 played live in 62 and 63 and they had to be good to get a recording contract and then knock the Beatles out of number one. They were Ed Sullivan's first choice but they didn't know who Sullivan was since the show didn't air in England. That was a year before the Beatles. No bull. I read that in the History Of The Dave Clark Five on U Tube. As for the Association, I don't know. Maybe. It would have been a USA recording. The Wrecking Crew didn't travel to England. The bands came here. There were 5 drummers in the Wrecking Crew. Don't remember any of them except Sandy Nelson. Bobby Graham ? When was he a member.

Hey Fil, I hit the thumbs-up button BEFORE I watched the video because I already knew I was going to enjoy your analysis! When I first heard this song in 1966 it just completely knocked me out. I loved it and even knew right up front that I was not hearing a Beach Boys single. When I acquired my own wheels (with tape 8-track deck) I always had this song ready so I could sing along to it.

Another note for the Tremeloes is the song, Yellow River. They were offed the song by Jeff Christie. They completed the music for the song but didn't feel right about the vocal. The song eventually went back to Jeff to sing the vocals with the groups music backing him. As in every music story there are a few other twists to the story. But that's for another day. LoL

Clever workaround for the video, Fil! Looks like you found a great solution to react to blocked videos. I’ve always loves this song, but now whenever I hear it I’m reminded of the scene in “Love Actually” when Colin Firth’s character is blathering on about “Silence is Golden” and how it’s a Tremeloes song but originally by the Four Seasons and then begins to hum the falsetto part and fails miserably. There’s an indication of how difficult that is to sing (and how you can look like a complete idiot when trying to impress a woman).

I saw the video before I saw your critique. I'm so glad you did this, it was a master live performance. I loved the Tremeloes. Listen to Here Comes My Baby (Cat Stevens Cover Live. On You Tube) Joyous.

Damn Fil. If YT kills you, no more using YT for music for me... I burned in all of favorite stuff in 99? Listening to your analysis and research is the only reason I do music on KZbin. Rock buddy!

Remember the brief moment of Napster?

When people dream about the sixties, this is why. Four-part harmonies, all playing instruments, touring constantly, primitive gear, all capable of lead vocals, hundreds of miles a day, sometimes and often in the legendary Transit. Chip Hawkes is the nicest guy possible, and Rick W is a very fine player. They were, effectively, Christie, who played "Yellow River." Also, the contracts were often dreadful and the bands incredible tired - Edinburgh tonight, Plymouth tomorrow. On occasions, when they were touring the UK with Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich, Tich would help out with the higher register vocals. Great great job, Fil. These guys were so important.
