Denny Laine - Say You Dont Mind

"Acid Freakout" promo for Denny's classic single "Say You Don't Mind" 1967.

[@petebellmusic]

A sad day to be listening to this song but it is an absolute classic - such a catchy melody. And a great arrangement by John Paul Jones as well. Funny that he seems a bit Lennon-obsessed in his look in this video, and then ended up being the closest McCartney ever found to another Lennon after the Beatles

[@lorraine.bernardettehoole7743]

I've come to listen today too. RIP Denny Laine😢 thought that too. Also thought of Peter Sellars. 😊

[@stevecampbell6294]

Goodnight and God bless to an artist who didn't get the credit he deserved,

[@margaretbarr7705]

R. I. P Denny💖thank you for the beauty 🙏🙏🙏

[@davidjames5644]

That last high E still sends shivers down my spine.

[@samandjennysambrook]

We have lost another original genius 😪RIP dear Den.xx

[@MrColin0202]

For me Denny Laine's version of Say You Don't Mind is the best. Much as I like Colin Blunstone, Denny has a unique voice.

[@frankburrows9850]

I agree although it lacks the finesse of Blunstone's it's got a lot more dynamism.

[@michaelparanormal]

Joining the Moody Blues with the classic "Go Now!" was his one hit wonder and still today its never aged.

[@JonRayRunawayVealMusic]

What a voice and incredible songwriter ….

[@theeerieghoul524]

rest in peace Denny

[@SuperNevile]

Very interesting. Denny wrote this song, but Colin Blunstone made it famous in 1972. Maybe it was the cellos wot did it. Love the 'Lennon/Pepper w/o sideburns getup"

[@tashmoobabe8704]

Lennon/Pepper sideburns getup is NO accident. This guy is the replacement John Lennon. And then he goes and joins the fake Paul in "Wings" while "Lennon" disappears for a while in the '70s.

[@HeyWezHeyJ]

Superb song. Sadly passed away today

[@thebadloser]

Couldn't disagree more. This song is a masterpiece and this is definitely the best version. And don't get me wrong - I love Colin Bluntstone's version as well. And I wish I was a big enough 'clown' to write a song of this quality.

[@ThisIsBlake]

I completely endorse your view! (I also love Colin’s version, too.) This song, and the arrangement, is a masterpiece. How was it not a hit??

[@brainphelps1994]

what do you mean by "clown"

[@moorlock2003]

I agree; this original is the BOMB. Colin Blunstone’s version is very nice too.

[@brianallen2706]

I'm addicted to this song and video.

[@seeingtheunseeable]

After watching this, I can definitely imagine Denny and Macca bonding over a mutual appreciation for a controlled substance.

[@lifeisdead01]

Damn this got me good!

[@AdrianPG63]

Great song ...Colin Blunstone did it justice ..but it takes a special kind of talent to write something like this ...

[@samandjennysambrook]

Ahead of its time for certain...i love this original version 🎶🎸👍

[@grahampratchett8207]

To think at that time we thought that was Long Hair. Great Song sung Brilliantly

[@JillForrest64]

Gloriously bonkers - thanks so much for posting this

[@myepiphone]

Wonder why this never charted,it sounds perfect for 1967.

[@RickyMacHatton]

Shows how saturated with gems 67 was!

[@frankburrows9850]

I think it got a lot of plays on the pirate stations at the time.

[@myepiphone]

@@frankburrows9850 Sadly, I never heard the original until I sought out a copy after hearing the Colin Blunstone version.

[@rocknrollcola]

Fits in with both The Beatles and the Moody Blues prog material.

[@benijager1372]

Welp, this guy was on the moodies and then played with Paul Mccartney like for 10 years

[@Wilthomer66]

WOW! This is amazing stuff!! These tunes make you wonder if there's any other Dream era stuff by him in the archives someplace because a mere two singles are too slim a volume of brilliance.

[@justanotherrandomcrit8115]

There’s a third unreleased single. It’s on KZbin.

[@jackiemreekie4637]

Fekn fabulous.... 👏👏👏👏🥂🥂🥂❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@scriptman100]

This is just fantastic but Colin Blunstone is an extraordinary singer, pretty much perfect in fact. Having said this, Denny Laine wrote the song, and for me anyway, songs seem to sound better when performed by the writer. They seem to invest more emotion into the song.

[@johnswallow2996]

In the uk marquee club london England I saw Denny Laine and his Electric String Band perform with a guy playing an electric violin. This was ground breaking stuff shortly after he left the Moody Blues. I agree with Colin Smith that Denny's unique voice had the edge on Blunstone's version

In my "Magnificent Moodies" playlist with Colin's cover. Thanks for the upload!
