I'm 60 years old & this is the first time I've ever seen a video with them singing this song!! Man they don' t make music like this anymore the 70's & 80's was the best music ever!!
Not only have I never seen them in a video, but at 67, I think I haven't heard this since sometime in the 20th Century. Song just started 'n gotta go back to it....
I stopped at Shop Rite on the way to work yesterday morning and this song was playing on the loudspeakers...I was singing along with this amazing tune when I noticed several other shoppers and employees were doing the same thing...all middle-aged men... this made me realize...yeah buddy, you're a boomer.

You ALL were MOVED and elated to hear these FANTASTIC songs from the 1970's. We are living in a music desert now---- compared to the countless great songs of the 1970's. We were SOOOO lucky!!
Uh, well . . .this was NEVER a top notch group. Maybe at the Elks Club youth dance, but never anywhere else. Still, a catchy little AM toe tapper, I agree.
@@bronsonhilliard6841 WRONG. Hamilton Joe Frank and Reynolds was a TOP notch group. I f they were around today---this and most of there songs would ALL be number one---because most of the garbage that young people listen to is GARBAGE and doesn't even BEGIN to come close to the QUALITY of musicianship and and QUALITY of the talent of this singer, Dan Hamilton. This is what you call a FANTASTIC song, and arrangement. Name 20 songs that YOU can say that about on the radio ALL this year!!!
@@Dina-nm1nx yes, President Trump, they were Huuuuuuuuuuuge. Best group ever. Biggest concerts ever -- 2 million people in every arena, the best, top group of the 1970s, by far, believe me.
I'm 62-yrs-old ,and I NEVER tire hearing these songs that were such a huge part of my teen and young adult years! There are so many bittersweet memories. As a teenager, I never thought I'd age! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 And yet...here I am!

Goodness!!! This makes me feel like the 70s flower child that I was!!! There will never be another era like this…. And was Dan Hamilton gorgeous or what??? Those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end…
We'd sing and dance for forever and a day.. We'd lead the life we choose, we'd fight and never lose... Those were the days, oh yes... Those were the days..😮😊😅😂🎉❤❤
This is the kind of vocals you don't hear today. Good low tenor, male sounding lead with nice harmonies. These were the vocal sounds of the 60s and 70s.
❤❤❤ I always get excited to meet people who have seen them live. Could you share any anecdotes about it? Although it may seem strange, except for three TV appearances, there are no recordings of the band's live shows, nothing at all. So, having been there and enjoying their show is a great fortune.
Dan Hamilton lived a few streets away in our little town in Washington. He used to bully my brother in high school. 😀 My brother remembers "Danny" as a football player, but according to the yearbook his only extracurricular was choir. Then Dan dropped out of school, took his guitar to California and less than a decade later was recording this hit.
wow what a great story. Danny went to California to play with the Beach Boys, but he was late for the tour. He stayed with his brother Judd and at the age of 16 composed the million-selling hit in Japan Diamond Head, from The Ventures. then he joined the avantis and toured with the Beach Boys, then joined T-Bones with his brother. They toured Japan and when they returned they formed Hamilton Joe Frank & Reynolds. wow, I must say I envy you for meeting Danny in person! He will forever be my greatest platonic love, he was incredible 😍❤

I'm 72 and it blows my mind that the oldest member of this group is 10 years older than I almost to the day and is now EIGHTY TWO. Dan was only 3 years younger than I, so he was about 24 when he recorded this and I loved it when it came out and I love it today. Such a shame he died so young; great voice, great songwriter. The whole group was eye candy too.
I really love this song, and HAMILTON 's voice was the BOMB. This song brings back good memories of my teen years. Listening to him sing makes you wish you could turn back time.❤❤

@@snoops5581 He died in 1994 at the age of 48. My wife and I are in our mid 60s and we always follow this music. And yes he did die far too young. Yet we are so fortunate that his Memory is kept alive through the music 🎶 as with So many other others. PS Love ❤️ your songs of the 70s playlist.

Dan was much better than Presley. He was an actual ARTIST who wrote his OWN songs, had his own style, composed his work, wrote the lyrics and performed the song with better voice control. He didn't need to copy anyone else like Presley had a bad tendency to do going back to his early days and forward. Dan was his own man and his talent was more than enough to lay claim to his own VERY respected place in music history.
This is one of those songs that only Dan Hamilton could have pulled off to the maximum desired effect among listeners. He had the winning formula - the right voice, a catchy hook and a memorable melody. Add to this his rock star rugged looks, personality and virtuoso musicianship and you have close to perfection as can be. Even after so many years that Dan released this song (early 70s), it still generates airplay worldwide. I cannot see any of today's songs having the same impact and longevity.
He was a complete and perfect musician. And yet, so underrated. Dan taught us that being discreet and humble in the world of music is a path to oblivion, but he also taught us that true music can withstand the test of time and become an eternal work of art. Perhaps the world doesn't know how to appreciate Danny as he deserves and confuses him with mere cmediatic of the era, but his music is the true art and will never be forgotten.
Close…. Don't pull your love out on me, baby If you do then I think that maybe I'll just lay me down and cry for a hundred years Don't pull your love out on me, honey Take my heart, my soul, my money But don't leave me drownin' in my tears
I loved this song as a kid. I never knew that Dan Hamilton was so gorgeous. I just found out that he is no longer with us. I am so sad about that. He had a beautiful voice and face to match. It's still One of my favorite songs today in 2022.
I am 11 years old and I love this song, sad to here that Dan Hamilton passed away and my 62 year old grandpa loves this to. Long live Hamilton, Joe frank and Reynolds
Hamilton was the next Elvis. Sadly He died so young from Cushing's syndrome ( basically glands that create too much cortisol ) People who have this condition usually skinny arms and legs and a round extended stomach similar to a beer belly. I knew someone in Canada that worked with Dan and he spoke how the music industry tried to hide his illness by having him wear clothes that hid his girth in the stomach area. He was a beautiful man and a good man I was told. Screw the music industry Dan. You were beautiful inside and out. May you rest in peace and know that We fans loved you. Sadly, It was a stroke that took his life which was a complication from his disease. I can only imagine how big a star Dan would have become. It breaks my heart,
Disse tudo!e eu, que SÓ há +- um mês que descobri ( por acaso) que ele tinha partido assim, tão precocemente😔...tanto talento , lindo ...mas , ficam as suas músicas que serão sempre eternas 😍😍😍
Agree with you , I think his voice would have take him to the top of the charts, and to this day I feel sad that such a fine young man is gone from us, loved his voice
Hearing this song after all these years. Is what brought me here it was one of my favorite songs. Thank You so much for breaking everything all down. About what happened to Dan. I didn't even know he was gone😭😭.l will always love him and his beautiful voice. Gone But Never Forgotten 🕊️🕊️🕊️💔💔💔⭐⭐
One of those songs that reached out from your radio and grabbed by the scruff of your neck and made you listen. So strong and such a great positive vibe. The shaker in double time is perfect.

I still have my Australian copy of 20 Explosive Hits 1971. This song blew my mind in 1971 and still does today. That is an amazing Production sound for its day.

@@scottvidmar913 It sounds so much like Elvis, he would have probably had a good hit with it --- but Don sings it just right for sure. It's one of the songs that reached #1 on my charts, then reached #1 again many years later. This song ONLY reached #4 on the national charts.
One of those all time classic boyfriend and girlfriend love songs. One doesn't hear or experience this kind music or emotion in today's music. A true classic.
Where all my fellow 50 year old fans at? I'm seeing so many comments of those lucky enough to go dancing or make out at "The Point" to this song but I was just a toddler when this song was becoming a classic. So glad I had cool young parents at the time that listened to awesome music. Gave me their 70's music so I love that as much as my 80's Brit pop and R&B as well as my hair bands and metal. I'm all over the board with what genres I love but tunes like this will ALWAYS hold a place in my heart!
This song takes me back to the 70s, laying on the sand in Huntington Beach, CA. This song would come on your transistor radio and you were transported. I always loved song. Thank you and RIP Dan Hamilton for giving us this great song.
I sang this in rehab 1time. Only 1 nurse there had ever heard this song before but everybody there freaked out cause I rocked it. They thought I was only fun when I was drunk!
Poor Dan Hamilton. He deserved a longer life and a better ending to it. Still he is immortalized here and on his other hit "Falling In Love. RIP and thanks for the great times!
Yes.. it's very sad when someone passes at an early age.. but Bible tells us absent from the body, present with the lord... I doubt very much Dan Hamilton if he had the choice would much rather be with his heavenly father in paradise.. wouldn't you? I would.. Jac
Oh wow...heard this so many times... NEVER seen them...and for some reason always thought it was 4 dudes... Hamilton...Joe....Frank....and Reynolds...funny..great post 😄
It can never be Debbie sadly ..... as a group they disbanded 43 years ago, and then Dan died ..... the two remaining members then went their separate ways.
Man, I haven't heard this one in so long, it's not even Funny. We used to burn this one up at the Teen Club on Corpus Christi NAS back in the Early 70's! Definitely Brings back a LOT of Memories of my Friends when I was a Teen.

What a great song! I remember the first time hearing this and the feeling I got. One of those songs that gives you that feeling you can’t describe. Not many songs throughout life do this but this song did that for me!!
This song did that for me too! I got - and still get - a certain feeling when listening to it. Danny Hamilton’s voice gave me the feeling even more than the song itself, and it’s a great song! His voice is so enjoyable to hear.
Exactly my sentiments. As a youngster I'd year it play on the radio and want more, more. Never knew how they looked but man was I ever blown away when I saw the video recently. The voices and the good looks and really good music is a big winner everytime 👌
Love this!!! Joe Frank Carolla graduated with my Mom and Dad in 1957 from Leland High School, Leland MS. I met him in 1971 in Leland when we were at the small small hospital in Leland visiting my grandfather.
He was a beautiful man inside and out❤ I invite you to my channel to listen to many more songs by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds. If you search for the playlist 'the best of HJF&R/D', you'll find all their music there.
Summer ‘71. Just before senior year High School. Tooling around in my friend’s ‘66 Malibu - really his Mom’s - singing along, off key, of course, on AM radio 77 with Cousin Brucie! Wow! Great song! Great times!

If anyone noticed Joe Reynolds' name didn't come up, he had left the group in 1972 but they continued with the same name. Alan Dennison joined the group in 1973 but it wasn't until 1976 that they changed their name to Hamilton, Joe Frank, and Dennison. They disbanded permanently in 1980.
@@stu3775 Definitely should’ve been I am surprised when I read that it was number four and that might’ve just been in the US or in Europe but their next hit did go to number one something about falling in love I can’t remember the exact name of it
I have watched this vid 100 times - glad you put this out there - takes me back to when I was a kid - music was the best back then - sad he died so young
I have always loved this song but never saw the band's pictures. I just stumbled across this video by accident. Such a handsome great singer. I feel bad that he has passed. What a voice!.
