I watched an interview and Colin had vocal lessons after the song became a hit. They credit the longevity of his voice to learning proper technique and doing exercises.

They aren't using synthesizers, the first synthesizer was being built at Columbia by moog. He is playing a Hammond organ.

[@MarshaShelley-t3n]

Still remember the words to their great songs!! Glad they Finally got the recognition they so deserve!!❤

[@TheOrganiston9th]

Rod Argent is one amazingly brilliant keyboardist! I love his contributions on “She’s Not There”, and throughout “Odessey & Oracle”. For example, what he did with Mellotron on “Care of Cell 44” is one of the most moving (to me) songs, and provides a standard of why that instrument is so powerful. Same with “Hung Up on A Dream”. As for his Hammond works, his solos are always - and still - fantastic...!

[@carl_anderson9315]

Excellent vocal technique. I wish other singers of their generation, like Robert Plant took care of their vocal chords as Colin. Of course he doesn't have the same timber as his younger years, but he changed his original chest singing to a much more controled head/chest mixed singing. That's why he's always able the hit the high notes.

I saw them maybe eight years ago -- anyway about a year after they re-formed and started touring-- not really knowing what to expect, and ... OMG. That turned out to be one of my favorite concerts of all time. It helped that it was a small outdoor venue and we were able to stand & sometimes dance RIGHT IN FRONT of the stage, only maybe 5-10 feet from the band. p.s. the craziest thing is that we got into the concert for $6 each. Yes, within the last decade, and for The Zombies!
