Lyrics - MY SON (Gold Star Studio) (1966)

[@pantherliv3]

Craig Carll was my grandpa on my mother’s side of the family. I never personally met him but I’ve only heard good things about him.

[@chrismanberlin6820]

you never met him? why?

[@dorepage7076]

Wow. interesting story. Blue Eyed Soul and melody are so powerful.

[@stillstanding6031]

A Gold Star beauty! They made amazing music that's never been bettered. RIP Gold Star

[@MrJeffbradley1]

My name is Geoff Bradley and although I think the Lyrics was a really good band & Craig was an exceptional singer, I wrote "My Son" the day my boy was born..Craig asked me if he could record the song & I said sure, go ahead...I didn't say that he or anybody else could claim that they wrote it..Like I said before, Craig was a great singer & songwriter & the band did an exceptional job on the record..Also, kudos to Gold Star Studios for a killer production & to Stan Ross for being the life's blood of the studio and all the music that came out of Gold Star......R.I.P. Craig Carll & Stan Ross...

You should have followed up at that time. I hear of these things happening too often...

A Righteous sound giving inspiration.Rog.Pacific Sunset( LA).

The Wrecking Crew, the artists, the songs, the productions, the times, all made Gold Star Studio quite a special place.

My name is Dan Garcia I was the bass player of the Lyrics my brother Billy was the guitar player and the leader of our group not the bass player. Craig was a great singer / writer, were great times.

[@stillstanding6031]

Bravo!

[@xwsftassell]

Wow. You made this. Wow.

[@gary9426]

Awesome song, Dan...you guys did a great job on this!

[@davidhodgin8900]

do you have any advice for songwriting?

[@damienjurado6581]

Hi Dan. I recently discovered this absolute gem of a song. Question: Is it true that Geoff Bradley wrote the lyrics to this song, or did Craig write them? Beautiful song either way. It should have been a massive hit.

My favorite band from the 60's. So many summer dances at the Community Center. So much fun!!

[@muichi4240]

The flip of this is sensational. 'So Glad'.

[@pack-wr6nq]

Outstanding!!

[@erasmusomnius]

loved hearing them do this LIVE, Oceanside Community Center dances, back in late 60's. Also on TV8 Dancetime. Hopefully someone will re-post that video of The Lyrics doing My Son, and So Glad. Loved that so much. What North county memories.

Sounds like something Motown Temptations would have recorded. Great song.

....the influence of Spector evident....
