1786. Barry McGuire

[@georgerichards3059]

Thank you for this video. God bless Barry McGuire and Leland Skylar.

[@slipperynoodle20]

Barry's voice can do a lot of things, but the growl is unmistakable. It's right up there with Howlin Wolf. I enjoyed these songs. I believe The Duel was Stephen Spielberg's first full-length movie and one I've watched several times, and I'll watch again given the chance. Cool tidbit on the sounds of the truck going down. I've wondered how that was created. Love and Thanks ❤👍❤👍

[@JimMcNicholas]

I love Barry McGuire, his albums in the 70's were so freaking good.

[@rothaarbiker]

I own most of the mentioned albums and had the delight to hear Barry twice here in Germany, great memories! ❤

[@clifftanch]

Lee, thank you for all these musician videos. They have been such delights. Some of the contemporary Christian artists you have worked with were trying to testify to Truth. I hope you can hear that as you review your past. No coercion on this end, but as the song ended,now we come to Him on bended knee … 🙏

[@sceiron1]

Never knew that Barry and his wife had lived in my country -NZ- as my college english teacher used to say "try to learn something new every day" and today I did just that.

SO INTERESTING! Thank you for this post, Leland! I was 12 when Eve of Des was on the radio and loved it so much. Also my father was working in Reno and was able to see the Christies several times in the 60s, and I loved their recordings as a kid wallowing in beloved recordings♥

I've got my Dad's copy of "Lighten Up" but I've never heard of this album. Thanks for sharing it with the viewers.

[@terrye6853]

As a teen my first introduction to “Eve of Destruction “ was an episode of Greatest American Hero with Joey Scarbury on vocals. Loved the song a lot and bought a copy of the original McGuire version on cassette. Congrats on 1/4 of a million subscribers Lee!

The song may be titled Too Fat to Fly but that Bass is certainly flying,especially on Light of The World outro, I classify as a Bass Solo!

[@RalphOnofrio]

Where did this year go??Barry....a new sound back then.

[@nickripostella7862]

[@talfacprez]

You picked both of my favorite songs from that album. I remember playing this album on the air at the college radio station where I worked and attended. I also use to play Chubby Chubby followed by Fat Fat Christiana by Gary S Paxton.

[@FreedomRock44]

Atta Pepper Maureen glad you had a great day and Night!!!!!!!!

[@jeffbangkok]

4 AM on the mango farm Thailand. Just changed our old dogs diaper and he wanted to pee again. Your taking me back to the 60's and 70's are a breath of fresh air. Growing up on a dairy farm my only music outlet was the radio in the milk barn and the tractor radio. A 500 watt local day time station on the tractor and PBS night time in the barn. I was just dreaming I was driving around the hills in my 68 Mustang. Barry's songs really brought back memories.

🎊🎊250k!!!! Congrats!!!!! A quarter million viewers can't be wrong!!! Two notes from me on this one: 1. I remember my Mom (the country fan) mentioning The Christy Minstrels, and 2. (Somebody can tell me if I'm wrong on this one), I believe he would be most famous for being mentioned not once but four times in the chorus(?) of the Mamas and the Papas' "Creeque Alley" (1966) which was and still is regularly played on radio.

[@TheOlHippie]

"Duel" was Stephen Spielberg\s first feature film

[@stevemartin7096]

Herb Melton was the bassist for, "A Band Called David." What a great player! I imagine that you knew him Lee. I enjoyed your work Lee with both Barry and 2nd Chapter of Acts ("Roar of Love", just to name one). On, "Light of the World", Lee there's no doubt your phenomenal work caused more than a few souls to convert. 😉😉

🚛🚛. This was a three meal video so we just got to the end. Loved the "Duel" story! Back in the days of network TV: everybody saw it.

[@stephenspencer4672]

Barry's voice sounds smooth on these recordings , not as rough and gravely like Eve of Destruction and Green Green. A really nice sound.😊❤

[@kennyroberts7712]

Thank-You.

[@KittyCarlile-490]

I have a neighbor that I walk w everyday. Yesterday he mentioned lyrics to Eve Of Destruction. I said Barry McGuire! Friend said, "I don't know", I'll show him today's video so he will know

Hi Leland, just wondered if you might be part of the James Taylor Tour coming to San Diego in May 2025

[@47heritage]

Hey Tim , JT now has Larry Golding on keyboards, Jimmy Johnson on bass, Mike Lawler on guitar and Steve Gadd doing the drumming. He's had this backing band for quite awhile now.

[@timcgmail]

I see Jackson every time he comes to San Diego and I keep hoping you, Russ and Danny will be on stage. T😊wo years ago Jackson ended the tour here at Humphries and Russ was in the crowd.

[@timcgmail]

Keep up the great work and your incredible spirit. You are a living wonder.!

Didn't mean to mislead you Tim. I'm not Lee but a good friend of his. Been following James since 1970 and of course Lee and the others inn the Immediate Family. Hopefully he sees your comments. Bob Love L.A.
