He was drafted into the army in about 1967 or so and went to Vietnam, and when he came home, music had changed and nobody wanted to hear his kind of music any more, thus ending his career. His Dad could probably have pulled some strings to get him deferred , but his being a man of character, he went into the service and did the right thing. I was a teenager in the Sixties and his music made a huge impression on me that lasts to this day.

Dad listened to radio constantly, as he was the only paid fireman in the small town we lived in. He kept the three pieces of equipment that town had, spotless. We even had people gave us a Dalmatian, my sister named Chief! Thanx Moon doggy for this. Brings tears to my eyes actually, that all that is gone, my parents and my sister, and Chief. This type of music too. Peace to all, and be safe.

This song was co-written, arranged and co-produced by Leon Russell. He was not satisfied with the instrumental on the original track so he went in, wiped it out and laid down that killer guitar solo. A lot of people associate him with the piano (well he was great on it) but don't realize he was a really good guitarist too. Even more amazing, is he that had some paralysis, on his right side, due to a birth injury and it took him a year to be able to use a pick properly. The more I have learned about him, the more impressed I am.

I saw Gary Lewis in Harrisburg, Pa. at one of the city's summer events. He and the band still sounded great! I liked this song since the first time I heard it.

Summer 1965 and these guys were rockin' Disneyland with nightly dances. At the time they were just 'another group' ...... still remember all those kids dancing in front of the stage. What memories !!

Saw them live a few decades back- great show. Amazed how much this song sounds like Beach Boys composition.
