The Happenings - "See You in September" - Cruise Performance

[@BCboy65]

Always remember this song. I said goodbye to my girlfriend in September and headed off to Viet Nam. I forgot Marine Corps tours were 13 months not 12. I survived, barely, but did see her the next October. And married her a year later.

[@smorgasbordtv4092]

+BC Fellow one of my favorite songs Nam was over before I was born. I wasn't born until 79' but after reading your post I had to sign in to give you a belated congratulations.

[@timklein3962]

[@hermanglimsher]

Doing it live 40 years later and it still sounds great.

[@georgepenton6023]

1966 was an extraordinarily good year for music.

[@Kim63146]

I was 3 years old when this song came out. Born in September. Loved this song! You cannot beat those beautiful, magical songs of the 60's. Still listening in 2022. ❤️

[@gloriazema8656]

Never get tired of this song.

[@77Keith]

[@Solar333444]

You guys still sound excellent after all these decades! Thanks for the wonderful memories....

[@1anaconda89]

What is there to say ? These guys still got it !!

[@theophilosalem1478]

The time in your passing takes all our summer passions and in the fall of our lives, we no longer have waited. Just scattered memories.

[@harp19]

I was 8 years old in 1966 I still remember singing along to it. One of the 1st songs that made me stop and listen to the words. You still sound great guys.

[@bermuda5656]

Was 10 years old when this song became a hit. I loved it then and still love it as one of my all time favorite and life memory songs :)

[@anjelicamarrujo8621]

[@brianbaxter3913]

One of my many favorites of all time. OMG so many favorites. I think it is time to go back to that era and live it over with a few changes but not changes to the music. So many awesome tunes back then a couple weeks ago haha

[@jeromemchugh9136]

Saw them 7 nights in a row on cape cod in 1974, loved each show.the mill hill club.

[@jerryguilebbe4016]

I was on this cruse and watched this show and met them after in the Scooner Bar

[@andradejurk]

Very nice to see this guys again, great performance! (Brazil)

[@atp1962]

Great voice after 40 years !! You are the man !!

[@vman65]

You guys still sound great. Although I was only 1 when this came out, it still was magic when I first heard it in my teens. Great tune and harmonies.

[@TheInvincibleViolet]

Fabulous !!!!!!!!!

[@donplayerman1944]

[@Creativ1]

I remember as a young girl listening to this with my cousin in her basement. Nice memories. Simpler times!

[@leolopez4109]

[@isorivolta]

I always look for the studio versions of songs I like 'cause I don't tend to like live performances, but this one is incredible.

[@YosenBMamma]

I haven't heard this song since the sixties, and it still makes me cry.

[@joseguadalupearredondo1217]

Grandes recuerdos vienen a mi mente en mí infancia cuando oí por primera vez ésta melodía, saludos desde San Luis Potosí.

[@gregrocker2]

Jukebox at Tim's Pizza, Springfield Missouri, dancing around with the broom. What a perfect song, the bridge from the do-wop style into 60's music about to explode.

[@rosesusymariano877]

I remember my good time in the summer . Wonderful music.

[@DavidDelgado-tt5tr]

Spanky McFarland

[@cepefe2000]

Fantástico!!

[@paulinhalu17]

amazing video, adoroo essa música!!!

[@bobpalmer7229]

I was 16 and lived in San Diego. Had a huge crush on Dee Dee Warner who lived across the street, unfortunately she had an older boyfriend, he was 19. But we still hung out because she had a car. True love. I've never forgotten her and this song was ours. Good times.

[@dewey44]

I agree that this would have been a great song for the Four Seasons to record. I have their "Looking Back" album (bought it new i 1967) and, sadly, it is not on it. Other great '50's songs are, however. Thanks for this post. I remember fondly the hits of the Happenings and am glad other generations are now being exposed to them.

[@lawdy69]

@JrzFirefly This is correct, Bob is the only remaining original member. Just saw them on a cruise a few nights ago. Amazing show...looks like the same ship, too :-)

[@8moody1]

They really sound great, don,t they

[@cepefe2000]

Belas recordações!!!

[@Airsoftcleaner]

This is the perfect song to close out every Football Season with

[@slmb_b]

Or last day of school before summer

[@markdezii]

WOW!! Excellent!!

[@priscilacardozowatanabe919]

muito bom!

[@FryPanMusic]

[@tlcjr1972]

This is a very good song from the 1960s.

[@rodinvidal1307]

september I see you good remenber nice song

[@richardzion1828]

Cool!

[@lolomaris]

bellos recuerdos,me trae esta cancion.

[@JrzFirefly]

I checked and can't find that The Four Seasons sang it. Another group that had sung it was Gerry and the Pacemakers. There is a site (Grooveshark) who lists The Four Seasons as singing it on their site but they are in err. It is The Happenings singing. I have contacted them about it.

[@mariadelaluz6826]

Muy bonita canción wuao Disculpen que no hable yo ingles

[@JrzFirefly]

@PapillionWyngs The lead singer is Bob Miranda. He is the original lead singer and sounds better than ever.

[@suelaplante4014]

i remember this song

[@speedskiff2]

saw them at the Chatterbox in Seaside Heights WAAAAAY back.

[@DALANDOLPH]

and its my Birthday the 2th

[@JrzFirefly]

@BTOWNPLAYA69 Thanks ... I didn't think so

[@MrINVISIBLE57]

MAN ,WITH THIS SONG I WENT TO SCHOOL,IN N.Y. P.S SEVENTY FIVE

[@janiephilleoshorak9535]

Soon September and love VFW Post 2525 see you in September

[@Prepster954]

wow..they do sound as good or better when i was a kid...

[@speedskiff2]

pretty neat they can still knock out the harmonies and vocals. Saw them at the Chatterbox in Seaside Heights way back and they were great. Remember one of the guys singing wore an arm cast.

[@connienavarro9692]

They can still hit the high notes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jlrras10]

i did also !!

[@catnip410]

My mother was in the car with me as this was playing and she was praying as I was driving too fast around a curve

[@JrzFirefly]

Hey PUCK we know what you said. Thank you for your input. ThurstonGHowell3rd thought The Four Seasons w/Franki Valli sang it and Inuyasha said if we check, you'll find they did cover it.

[@BTOWNPLAYA69]

@JrzFirefly maybe they sound alike, but Association never covered this........i thought the same when i had a cassette with Cherish and September on it in the 80's.....I looked it up and found it to not be true, however I found a few sites playing this song by the Happenings but listed them as the Association, much like the site Grooveshark did with the Four Seasons........

[@TEKNA111]

I actually like this version better than their original '66 recording! Just goes to show, some things besides wine improve with age :D

[@patrickwinslow]

Pretty darn good sound for their ages. Nice harmony. Especially at an age where most singers lose their pitch and the vibrato gets really shaky. The brass was a great added touch.

[@faroutlindsey]

this song mad me sad back then,just sounds sad.

[@comalaism]

To the fool who said below they sound good for old people, what the hell does age have to do with anything???? There always has to be someone ignorant online that has to make idiotic comments!

[@srebak]

That's ok Coma...One day they'll be old too...!!

[@JrzFirefly]

@bluesfiddle I did a search but I couldn't find them singing it.

[@dinan545bmw]

ha ha. yeah, me too! aren't they wonderful though???

[@kathy07002]

What cruise was this? I wish I was on it...I saw your group several times in Bayonne NJ and remember you back in 66...You are a great band! Love your music!

[@da2grubbs]

A group called the Tempos had the original of this song. Kind of a Four Freshman/The Letterman type of group. Later 50's I think

[@jonathanchartrand3351]

Good live singing. I think they might even be better than in their younger days.

[@thomaspick4123]

I asked an experienced choir member about the voice and aging. He said age has nothing to do with it. There should not be a change. That being said, my own observations. Like Maureen Muldaur says, you must take care of your throat. You must warm up and practice. There are foods to eat and drink before a performance, and things to stay away from, plus how many hours to abstain from food before performing. Her video has many good tips (She's the "Midnight At the Oasis" lady). Also, I use a soft voice. I am not a "belter" like: Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, or that Aerosmith guy. Granted, they have great voices , power, and range, but how long can that last before burn out? No, I prefer using a soft voice, think Karen Carpenter. Use good quality microphone, such as an Electrovoice N967?, much better than a Shure SM58. Use very high volume on the microphone and sing gently and expressively into it. I am trying out newer wireless headset microphones. If you play an instrument, such as piano, having a microphone with a cord on a boom blocks your view of sheet music. Lapel microphones are good for one position. You turn your head and the direction makes the volume go away. So, a headset microphone, preferably wireless, keeps the mic piece against your lips for constant volume. I have to experiment with: VHF, UHF, digital, USB, bluetooth, and so forth. So, your voice is a delicate instrument one must care for. Eat, sleep, exercise, reduce stress in you life. Warm up, soft, expressive volume, good miking. Take care of your voice, it should last a long time.

[@FAYEBESS]

Yeah, The Tempos and The Happenings recorded it, but The Association NEVER. By the way, the word NEVER is associated to them because of their hit "NEVER, MY LOVE" ( the comma here is very meaningful, otherwise it would change the meaning of the song completely). I like also Julie Budd's version. :)

[@TLCTugger]

I saw an all-girl competitive color guard spinning rifles to this tune around 1982 and I was smitten.

[@DancingSpiderman]

I enjoy these guy's performance much better than the house band over at the Chuck E Cheeze's

[@morningdove20]

Love u guys and Still sound great.. but can u Pls get Tommy Gulianno back, at least long enough to get on 'YT' so We can see u All 2gether once again?!! I caught a video of him still singing too out in Arizona somewhere and like u all, he Sounds just as GREAT!!! (looking happy too!). God bless u all and Pls try.. for old times sake and for us, ur true fans!

[@shawnmalone9711]

Who's listening in September 2022?

[@meandrunk]

Wop bands had a totally cool original sounds -- witness the success of GREASE
