[@josephmeyers3597]

Dam I wish I could go back to the sixties and live it all over again what a great time we had and thinking back I knew it was something special while it was happening I'm almost 70 now but I really had a great life

Beautiful Tribute to Mike Smith by a Class act Peter and Gordon

[@guilhermemontenegro8822]

They made this song more melodious.

[@deltonkillen8024]

Of all the hit rock&roll songs the DC5 had, I still think this was their best. Thanks.

[@dougleblanc6285]

Great version of a great song! Mike Smith was great too!

[@theovanbekkum2241]

Geweldig

[@tomfinland9572]

One of my favorite all-time songs by the DC5... and sung by the great Peter and Gordon... we 60's kids had it all ... RIP Gordon and Mike Smith

[@cherriberri7161]

Dave Clark was a fraud! Read my comment, Mike Smith was real talent in that group!

[@usuk9316]

Mike sir was. Gordon and Mike were great friends.

[@scottbranham4839]

great song...beatles also wrote a song called Because on Abbey Road...

[@tessflores785]

Mike must have been proud of Gordon singing his piece. Beautiful.!

I was there that night. It was wonderful.

[@mariloumunoz7937]

They still have that sound when they were young Peter & Gordon. I love them❤

[@KWLee49er]

This is my most favorite song. I sang this song on stages several times when I was young playing bass guitar long time ago (1968, I guess) in South Korea when I was a sophomore in college. Mike Smith was the man of DC5.

[@marty-fh1rw]

What a lovely song and cover.Thanks.

Give me one kiss and l will happy just just to be with you great lyrics and written by the late Mike Smith also his version classic but so glad Peter and Gordon so glad they got back together before sadly Gordon died RIP you left us your music from a time unsurpassed

[@pattiberg1128]

What a wonderful version of one of the most wonderful love songs ever written. As good as it is by Peter and Gordon (especially Gordon Waller), no one could sing it like the late, great Mike Smith. Mike WAS the Dave Clark Five. Without Mike's voice and musicality, there never would have been a DC5. Sure do miss him; miss Gordon Waller, too. Great music from a great time--the mid-60s!

[@pattibrooks1907]

Im a big Peter and Gordon fan since age 8 in 1964 and Dave Clark Five too and they both sang this song !

It was not until I was invited back, met Gay, Philippa & Natalie & saw these gold discs on the wall, it was then I discovered who he was. Little Philippa used to cling to me like I was another Dad..happy days, I have one only picture of him on his boat taken from my boat, if you would like me to send a copy I would be happy to do so.

GREAT VOICES

[@cherriberri7161]

Mike Smith was really the force behind DC5 he had incredible pipes, talented musician and wrote amazing songs. It’s very sad that Dave Clark was really a fake & horrible person. He put his name on every song which he didn’t write and he couldn’t play the drums to save his life. In the studio Dave never played drums, they had a studio drummer on all the recordings. Mike Smith got ripped off by Dave Clark who got royalties from the music Mike Smith wrote. When Mike Smith had his accident and need a special wheelchair he couldn’t afford a bunch of celebrities like Peter and Gordon and Peter Noone from Herman Hermits helped raise the money. Needless to say Dave Clark never gave a cent. There’s a special place in hell for Dave Clark! RIP sweet Mike Smith 🙏🏻

[@ernestwilson5591]

I never knew that, I always heard through the years that Dave Clark was a very strange person. I saw some photos of him in later life he looked so grotesque, not sure what happened there.

[@harvey1954]

Both Columbia in the UK and Epic in the US both refused to put "Because" out as a single as per Dave Clark's wish. Dave told them wouldn't be getting any new DC5 material until they did. Suddenly they were very cooperative and "Because" became another DC5 smash. It's like their "Yesterday".

[@artvideoman]

I also was crazy about this song. Always brought tears to me. How touching it is. I just learned that Mike Smith wrote it.

[@hungfao]

[@leonelquintanilla479]

I often wonder where all those 45 s went.i see albums in resale stores and flea markets.but no or just a few 45s.i have a collection o dave clark five 45s in thier picture sleeves.i saw gordon at beatlefest before he passed on.

[@willemvandeursen3105]

In 1969 I went for a holiday to England; swinging London. I came back with a suitcase full of second hand 45s. I knew them from the radio stations but the records were never released in my country. I was in heaven. I don't have them anymore, they eventually were all released on CD compilations, and what still went missing, I found on YT - the very first Soft Machine single!, the first one where Mark Bolan had a lead (Desdemona), Long John Baldry's very beautiful When The Sun Comes Shining Through (1968) and many more. Thank you KZbin.

The part about ' once kiss ' have me thinking about a girl I had a crush on back in 1977, we were teens...She knew I had a mad crush on her but I was too shy to ask her out or to be ' my girl '..I think she felt the same.. Sadly we never became boyfriend and girlfriend..But I often wonder what a 'one kiss ' would be like with her?..To this day I still see her as the most beautiful girl I have ever known...Wherever you are Karon Howard, I hope life have been good to you..

"Because" was written by Ron Ryan, not Mike Smith. Ron Ryan is a very good friend of mine and did not get the credit he deserved for the song.

[@artvideoman]

Can you please explain this further. Thank you

[@johncortese2165]

@@artvideoman Hello my friend. If you go to my channel and watch my cover of "Because", you will see a comment from Ron Ryan, who wrote it. You then can respond to his comment and he will answer you. Ron is a great guy and was screwed by Dave Clark and did not get the credit he deserved for writing some of their biggest hits. Another one Ron wrote was "Bits and Pieces". Here is a link to my cover of "Because". I apologize for the poor video quality, as it was recorded with an old camcorder at the time. Hope you'll like it. www.youtube.com/watch? v=5cjyrfXgImw Have a great day ! All the best.... John
