LUKE & THE APOSTLES - GOOD MORNIN' LITTLE SCHOOLGIRL & I AIN'T GOT YOU -1966

[@johntechwriter]

Wow, an extended 6:45 cut and no solo from the best rock organist in Canada, Peter Jermyn.

[@melvynobrien6193]

Used to go see them regularly at the Purple Onion on Avenue Road around the corner from Yorkville. Great Toronto band. Teles rule!!

[@calliopivogiatzis2235]

They had a nice,catchy sound for 1966!

[@lizkessell1024]

Went to the Purple Onion all the time. Then moved on to Boris'. Great times. Great band. We should have a Purple Onion reunion...lol.

[@garyholtze6388]

Spent many nights at Boris’s listening to Luke and the guys!

[@kimmomaki]

from the little I remember, I think I liked these fellas in the Yorkville scene.

[@suestefaniuk4027]

another great band homegrown Talent ty Dave for this

[@sharkjaws25]

WOW, brings back great memories..

[@voon47]

This brought back so many great memories & flashbacks to the Purple Onion in Yorkville. I was a singer in the band WillyJon & the Wildcats that used to play in the Onion when Luke & The Apostles( the reg. house band ) was on the road. They were a group that we all aspired to and learned from. I hear they still gig around Toronto and sound fantastic - a tribute to their longevity & musical talent.

[@Nothin66]

Hey! I remember your band! Never got to see you play, 'cause I was on the road too much, but certainly heard a lot about you guys. Check out their newest stuff on KZbin, they've got Whitey Glan drumming for them now......

[@voon47]

Wow - someone out there remembers us ! Thanks for your kind comments - would love to send you our band picture from those days - how do I do this ? We were one of many Willowdale bands in that era. The original members were myself the lead singer ( Marv Vader aka Willyjon ) on keyboards - Michael Dowson ( aka Michael Keys - he's still very active ) - lead guitar Cliff Fielding, drums David Reid, bass - Moe Renshaw - other later members were John Savage- drums & Bill Dalrymple -bass. We played the Onion on a dozen or so weekends through 65 - 66 and only have one picture of our name in the illuminated sign in front of the club on Avenue Road. Wish we had more memorabilia. Glad I found these wonderful memories. Thanks Dave.

[@mikemckenna4924]

We do

[@mikemckenna4924]

Still play

[@briandebbie288]

Great stuff! Brings back many cool memories of seeing those smokin' sets by The Apostles at Boris' in the 60's.Thanks for posting!

[@bobg525]

amazing memories.. at the onion..

[@stellaercolani3810]

Amazing band!

[@Maclaren415]

Luke and the Apostles Dee and the Yeoman Mandala Grant Smith and the Power Shawn and Jay Jackson The Sparrow Robby Lane and the Disciples The First Edition Jackie Shane Little Caesar and the Consuls Kensington Market Was it the Myna Bird that had the topless go go girls in the street window, memory fails me now at my advanced age of 67. Anybody else you can think of from back then?

[@melvynobrien6193]

Jack London and the Sparrows; got four or five of their singles here; Big Town Boys, The Paupers, The Boodley Hoo, Leather, Red Henry,

[@garethgoodchild2643]

DC Thomas and Shays, Checkmates, Tom and Ian and Soul Set, all played the village

[@kimmomaki]

The Amen and Kensington Market were two other pretty notable Toronto groups. 'Peter Zeus' by Amen made a bit of a stir on the radio.

[@Nothin66]

Ah, how about The Ugly Ducklings? I think we played in Yorkville as long as it lasted. '65 - '69. Lazy, hazy, crazy days. My education........ 1🎤🎙🎸👍

[@morganclare4704]

Tne Paupers morphed into Lighthouse.

[@waynekozak1462]

I saw Luke and the Apostles in 1968 they were opening for Jimi Hendrix at the CNE grounds.

[@melvynobrien6193]

I didn't see them at that concert; we got there late; they must have been on before I got there; The Paupers did a set and then The Soft Machine; that was at the Coliseum, or Cow Palace, as it used to be called during the CNE. The Doors played at the Coliseum too; Danny McBride gave me one of the promo posters for that gig; it's hanging on the wall in my kitchen. 3'X3'

[@GuitarGuy05051]

I love how it sounds! Nice and vintage sounding. 66 was a great year! Wish I could have been there.

[@stellaercolani3810]

I had a huge crush on Luke.

[@285209]

I continue to be a-MAZ-ed by these offering Monsieur Bingham...again I thank you profusely for seeing fit to post to youtube...

[@stellaercolani3810]

Love the video😘

[@bendex88]

Thanks for this Dave... Memories, memories... That Hohner keyboard sounds better than I remembered.. And Mike looks like Buddy Holly...

[@tomwilkins3865]

Dave, I lived in Trenton in the 60s and saw you when the Ducklings played at Community Gardens and the High School. I tried to cop how you did Night Owl Blues on harp!

[@witheringi9492]

Remember this very well. Except it was played at # 10

[@tootall11211]

That's the rumor. Kind of remind me of a group I used to know. Hell, I forget the many names they used. They were from Colorado, not Canada. I also knew Jerry Corbetta and the rest of Sugarloaf, before they had their hit, and saw them a few times after that. Too bad they didn't have more hits, they were good musicians, but talent doesn't seem to mean all that much in the music biz, especially these days.

[@JohnDaly-x4i]

Under rated comments are under rated..

[@markforde3103]

Davey 4557 is rehearsing with them at moment,gigs in a month time i gather.

[@Nothin66]

No such thing, Goatstaog. The tapes weren't in the greatest shape, & they were originally recorded in the Basement of "The Purple Onion" in Yorkville. What matters is the performance! Remember, this was 1966! D.J.Bingham. P.S. You have really good ears. The artifacts from the noise reduction are barely audible.......

[@BBINGHAM032352]

"Been Burnt" by Luke & The Apostles is on Volume 1 of the CD compilation Wyld Canada! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIu6coiajqZofac

[@nadorozny20011]

[@nadorozny20011]

why does'nt somebody do a cd or something ?

[@nadorozny20011]

were there any other songs recorded ?

[@peterhitchcock3486]

Who made the film? Love it!

[@Nothin66]

Hi Peter! - I made the film; it was one of my first forays when I got a couple of Video Apps. I was already into the Audio Restoration & Mastering stuff. Video was next. I went with the sepia tone & old film. Makes sense. This was one of Luke's best performances. I used to love those nights at the 'Onion'. This was at least a year ahead of the 'Brits'. But there was no music infrastructure in T.O. at the time!

[@bobmills8341]

HEY!!! Can't you hear Pink Floyd's 'Money' in this song??????? WTF????

[@jason75]

Is that Cybil Shepard?

[@richardbogartburke4978]

jason75 /there is a strong resemblance.

[@Headwind-1]
