Jerry and Gary Lewis on Hullabaloo '65

[@fliegeroh]

Paul Revere and the Raiders were very underrated. It was a great band.

[@ChadQuick270W]

100% agreed. I liked all of their songs as well as Mark Lindsay’s solo material.

[@AustinRogers1]

Yeah, but that was not one of their better songs.

[@VoxLesPaul]

Paul Revere Dick (full name) was a clever guy, who parlayed initial Top 40 success into one of the longest running, commercially successful Vegas acts that weaved humor and live music. He understood show business and managed to sustain income for decades.

[@sallypope7871]

But, this was earlier in their career. And they did a great performance. They really have the crowd going.

[@jeremynv89523]

I saw them in person performing in a Cabaret. While they still had talent, I noticed that Paul Revere himself had turned over the role of lead singer to another member of the group. Maybe he fried his voice somehow. Great entertainment, still.

[@andymejia2850]

I saw Gary Lewis in Modesto, California in the early 90’S. He put on a free show and everyone there really enjoyed the the fantastic music that day. He was a real nice guy and sighed autographs for a lot of people too. Thanks Gary Lewis.

Let us all thank Garry Lewis for serving our country! I know he was in Vietnam !

[@shawnmalone9711]

This a great piece of history. Barry McGuire's Eve of Destruction was very controversial for that time. A lot of American boys were serving in Vietnam in 1965 and some radio stations refused to play it. They felt it was an unpatriotic song and subversive. People called it a "beatnik" song and hated it. Mc Guire was singing about the issues of the day , the Vietnam War , the March in Selma , Alabama , turmoil in the Middle East , The Gemini Astronauts spending a few days in space , hating people because of their race or religion , etc. It was very brave of NBC for letting Barry McGuire sing on Hullabaloo. I believe CBS would have banned the song from appearing on it's network. President Lyndon B. Johnson would have called CBS ' s President and accused the network of being unpatriotic. Was Barry McGuire on the Ed Sullivan show? Any way the song is a microcosm of current events in the year of 1965.

[@joejones5653]

Yep and if the future generations want to know what the 1960s were really like, this song pretty much sums it all up

& we're all listening to the third take of the song jammed in at the end of a 4 hour session because the producer didn't like the song they were doing, "let's try something else." So Barry pulled this wrinkled up notepaper out of his backpocket, smoothie out on a music stand, ran through it twice and the third time is the charm gazillions hear forever more !

Gary Lewis, one of the most underrated singers from the sixties

[@Kinseydsp]

Great Talent!

[@garychambers5850]

I love all his hit songs from the 60's. His real backing band on his records was the famous " *Wrecking Crew* " _Snuff Garrett_ produced the group.. The musicians included _Mike Deasy_ and _Tommy Allsup_ on Guitars, _Leon Russell_ on Keyboards, _Joe Osborn_ on Bass, and _Hal Blaine_ on drums. Session singer _Ron Hicklin_ did the basic vocal track. Garrett then added Lewis's voice twice, added some of the Playboys and more of Hicklin. "When I got through, he sounded like _Mario Lanza_ ", Garrett commented. Heres the original line up when they played Live: ↪ *Gary Lewis - Drums and Vocals (born July 31, 1946, New York)* *David Walker - Rhythm Guitar (b. May 12, 1943, Montgomery, Alabama)* *Allan Ramsay - Bass (July 27, 1943 - November 27, 1985; aged 42)* *David Costell - Lead Guitar (born March 15, 1944, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)* *John West - Organ and Cordovox (Electronic Accordion) (Born July 31, 1939, Uhrichsville, Ohio)*

Gary I love Save Your Heart for Me, it is one of my all time favorite pop songs. When I hear it , it takes me back to 1965. The words make do nostalgic I usually cry a little bit.

[@johnheinrich6907]

Look on the back cover of Gary Lewis and the Playboys, late 1960’s greatest hits album, was arranged by Leon Russell. And all their records were recorded by the wrecking crew, studio musicians. Gary did most of his singing. But on some recordings a studio singer helped out with voice recordings. Ron Hicklin, session singer of the wrecking crew singers sang with Gary on most of their hit songs. It’s on a KZbin video.

[@lemurianchick]

Just think of this amazing aspect of the power of The Beatles. "Help" came out in 1965, the same year of this broadcast. They are singing the song like it's been out for decades and is a standard. It was likely a current hit.

[@fromthesidelines]

"Help" was already the #1 song in the U.S. at the time this was taped {"Billboard Top 100" Chart, September 18, 1965}.

[@notvalidcharacters]

You can see Jerry checking the lyrics on the cue cards too

[@wusbsports6302]

"Eve of Destruction" had just hit Number One that week. Excellent timing. Gary and his group had hit #1 earlier in the year with "This Diamond Ring" while "Everybody Loves a Clown" peaked at #4. Only the Playboys and the Lovin' Spoonful had their first seven Hot 100 releases reach the top 10 during the 1960's. Meanwhile, Paul Revere and the Raiders had hit #11 in '65 with "Just Like Me." So this show was pretty loaded. Even with Goldie Hawn pre-Laugh-In. As for me, I was barely nine months old.

[@michaelcap9550]

Eve of Destruction threw a wet towel on the show. Would've been more appropriate on the Smother's Brothers.

Great time capsule of the 60's, but when I was a teen a lot of kids actually hated this show. It was equivalent to having your parents show up uninvited to your party and watch them trying to be hip...

[@fromthesidelines]

You watched "SHINDIG!", I know. Producer Jack Good, unlike Gary Smith, didn't have to depend on "adult" guest hosts and "older singers" to entertain the parents in the living room. He just presented the REAL stars- the people who made the hits- and just let them sing (with Jimmy O'Neill in the background as a nominal host).

[@tdoggo7614]

Barry I. Grauman shindig has aged better too. You can tell this show is trying to appeal to the parents. I can’t imagine them having James Brown or the Rolling Stones on this show.....way too safe.

[@VoxLesPaul]

Agree, Mitch. You can tell that Jerry was coming up with comedy schticks - like substituting child models instead of same-age models on Gary/Playboys song. That brass "Brat Pack" treatment of "Help!" was cringeworthy today, but was considered "show business-y in 1965.

I met Barry McGuire in person at the Calvary Chapel here in Hamilton, MT just before he did his performance on one of his Christian tours back in 2004. I remember back when Barry was the front-man for The New Christie Minstrels with their top folk-pop hit, "Green Green" in 1963 before he pursued his solo career, topping the charts with his signature 1965 folk-rock standard, "Eve Of Destruction" (written by the late P.F. Sloan), and shortly thereafter, covered by The Turtles. Gary Lewis & The Playboys did a nice job covering "It Ain't Me Babe", a folk-pop standard first recorded by Bob Dylan and covered by The Turtles (which became their first hit single in 1965).

[@michaelmckenna6464]

Timing is everything! WB probably released her records the same time that other labels released their established big sellers, like Capitol with the Beatles. So her records just couldn’t compete.

[@TheJonaco]

Joanie was a great jazz/standards/Latin singer who was (wrongly) marketed as a teen queen by Warners. Her only real hit, "Johnny Get Angry" ('62), was a teen throwaway. She later made a great album of bossa nova standards (I love Jobim!), At the time of her hit, Warners made most of its record dough on comedy albums: Newhart, later on Cosby (when he was young and clean), and my all-time favorite, Allan Sherman. Except for the Everlys, they weren't Top 40-oriented yet. Peter, Paul and Mary (my folkie favorites) were on it as well.

[@arthurfears9464]

Johnny Get Angry-Joannie Sommers 1962 Position #7 Was on Billboard for 11 weeks!!!

[@zanti4132]

I remember Joanie Sommers from numerous appearances on the game show Name That Tune. She is the ONLY performer I remember from that show, so she must have made a big impression on me. Yes, it seems like Sommers should have had a bigger career. Her most noteworthy moment was probably singing the jingle in a Pepsi commercial. As her pop music career went, she had only one Top 40 hit (although the song got to #7) with "Johnny Get Angry." Now there's a tune that wouldn't fly today. The Me Too Movement would be all over those lyrics, where she is pushing her boyfriend to verbally abuse her - be more of a man, she says!

Represent? Were present? Of course. This BLM myth about oppression of black people up to now is just a communist myth to divide people using race. Look back further. You will see Nat King Cole had his own TV show in the ‘50’s. Black performers like Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr. were widely loved in the ‘30’s ‘40’s ‘50’s. In the 1930’s when there was massive unemployment Steppin Fetchit was the first black performer to make a million dollars. That was 1935 dollars more like 15 million now. He played a stereotype of a dumb black guy as a satire of that image and audiences understood that. Jim Crow persisted in the South until it disappeared in the early ‘60’s. I know. I was there. So this isn’t surprising. Communists though want to rewrite history.

This episode of the year, 1965 shows comedian, Jerry Lewis at his height during the 1960's. Several funny movies he made during that time. One his his best was during that year of '65: "The Family Jewels". He also, I think, started his famous annual MS ( Muscular Dystrophy) Labor Day weekend telethon. As to his talented musical son, Gary...I loved the group's tunes. One of my favorites: "She's Just My Style" still sets my mind to thinking of my 1966 big-time crush, Loretta. Joannie Sommers...what a voice and good looking gal back then. The " Johnny Gets Angry" lady, I think, has passed on sometime ago. So is Barry McQuire...gone. Such a powerful big hit he did for the world back then: "Eve of Destruction". "This whole big world is just too frustratin' " Yep! The stars of that time doing some of the big hits of up to that time...kinda fun (?). If it wasn't for the stars popularly known back then to the "young at heart"...it would make me cringe with: "Please! Stop!" What's that tune Jerry sang about 75% of the way through this show?

Now there trying to hunt down episodes of old shows like the big Sci-Fi show over there called Doctor Who that was broadcast to other Studios and countries in hopes that maybe those studios and countries kept their copies so that the fans can have the whole series. Their search has produced some but not all. People who love voice, sound, audiophiles I think they call them back in the day took recordings of a lot of the episodes, so while there is no video for some of the episodes as of yet there is a lot of soundtrack to a lot of episodes, so maybe there's some soundtrack to a lot of this show, hopefully all of it, but who knows. Here's hoping for hope

The BBC had a very nasty habit of wiping video tapes so they could reuse them, many early episodes of Doctor Who and The Avengers are lost forever.

2" reel to reel blank videotapes were expensive back then, but between the networks, the artists, their managers, and the record companies, you would have thought one entity would have paid for a copy of each show. The same goes for MLB, the NFL and the NBA. So many championship games were erased that it's hard to believe the networks, teams involved and the leagues wouldn't have paid for copies. Some tapes from the 1960's and 1970's that still exist look like they were preserved next to a radiator with no thought at all for the magnetic oxide on those tapes! This is the best quality digital conversion of Hullabaloo I've seen. The freckles on Joanie Summers face are almost HD quality! I'm surprised the makeup dept. didn't cover that up but the natural look was in during the mid 1960's. I think there was a best of collection of VHS tape issued in the 1980's but I'm not sure if a DVD collection was as well.

I guess I missed out as I wasn't aware that the show "HALLBALOO" aired anywhere on our TV stations. I'm glad KZbin has saved them to watch now.

Jerry Lewis looks like Gary Lewis's brother
