The most beautiful ❤️ and so sad, when I hear this beautiful melody tears start coming out of my eyes, this is the kind of music we should all listen to.
For the longest time, and I mean since this release, I attributed the entirety of the writing and production to Jim Webb ("McArthur Park"). I thought Bob Lind was a pop singer selected to sing this. Dumb me. I heard it on Do Wop Radio this evening on my walks. I was thinking of the sheer loveliness and vibe that was so totally 1966 America pop culture, the antithesis to the war mindset forever waged by government.
@@billkarmetsky4003 thanks you for your comment. Lind is a talented writer, but follows a different road when it comes to the music industry. syracuse, New York
I was 17 in 1966, and I remember running out to tye record store to buy this 45rpm. I bet young people today are thinking "what in the world is a 45rpm." 😂😂☺️
😂 Very true, I bought my first 45 in 1966 and ended up with over 1000. I was only 8 in 1966 but this was a big favourite of mine and still is, brings back some great memories of my childhood
Recorded August or September 1965 at Sunset Sound in L.A., with Hal Blaine drums, Leon Russell piano, Henry Diltz banjo and Carol Kaye bass. The great Jack Nietzsche wrote the string parts and produced the whole thing. He later worked with Neil Young on Expecting to Fly, There's A World, and A Man Needs a Maid. Having worked with Phil Spector, some credit him more than Spector for the "Wall of Sound" sound. He also scored Village of the Giants earlier in 1965. Lousy movie but great soundtrack.
Lind is well known for his transatlantic hit record, "Elusive Butterfly", which reached number 5 on both the US and UK charts in 1966. I am surprised that it did not chart on the Adult Contemporary Chart. I turned 10 in 1966 and was a big buyer of Top 40 singles. But not this one! Butterfly was likely a #1 in Houston (Texas) market as it was in very, Very, VERY heavy rotation on AM radio. The lyrics are just so... Dumb! Cross my dreams with nets of wonder? Ugh! But nearly 60 years later I just had to see what Bob Lind looked like. Now I know.
No stalking to be found here: Seeking, desiring, and longing for--yes, you bet. All healthy stuff. In fact, heck, how about all crucial, essential, and indispensable--in a world with not enough love to go around for most. I so love this song!
He's not stalking, hes Dreaming, wishing and Hoping that something will happen to make his dreams come true. But being afraid to Take steps in that Direction. Men definitely haven't changed much.
