Good for him, at least he had his one hit! Yes one hit for Robin, but an ocean of nostalgia for all the boomers that remember that Summer of 1970 when everything was right with the world compared to now.

@brendaadams1361 8 лет назад

played this EVERYDAY when it came out now I'm 57 and still listening

I was in pre-school when this song came out. My sister was 14 and took me everywhere she went, and this song was all over the AM airwaves. What an awesome summer that was, hanging out with my sister and all her hippie friends. I remember her friends being so kind to me, and me having a crush on them. They acted so much more grown up than the kids of today.

Great song, wonderful singer and a brave original person being their true self. Love this video and all the great comments.

What a great song... I remember it on the radio when I was a little kid in 1970. What memories...it rocked then as it rocks now!

@mdhanji16 17 лет назад

For all you 70's freaks, it's on Volume 2 of "The Super hits of the 70's." It's a 25 volume set and I'm sure it will bring back memories for many.

@pepperschatz 16 лет назад

My God!!! I always thought that Robin was a girl. Still learning things after all these years. Thanks YOU TUBE AND LPINTOP. Life is just full of new discoveries!

@bluejay4219 15 лет назад

I was grocery shopping in the local Food Lion and the muzak started playing this song. I think it was the first time I've heard it since it was popular. iTunes didn't even have it.

@alan.christensen516 8 лет назад

My first concert. I snuck into a college outdoor event while I was still in high school. Robin was the lead act before a BB King set.

@john6172 17 лет назад

This is a fantastic song........Long live the 60's & 70's

@dkcocopun 13 лет назад

I remember this song very well! it was from the summer of 1970. it got to #11 on Billboard's Hot 100. I always loved this song! great melody! I think he was in "Hair"

@riverdale999 14 лет назад

1970. Best year for music ever. Seriosuly. Check out the AM charts for that year. Almost every song is an all time classic.

@Guitarzzzzzzz173 17 лет назад

My sister had the 45 back when it came out. I played it over and over and over. I'm surprised it gets no airplay anymore.

@annette375 12 лет назад

I Love Robin & this song. So say what you want, but I Love it!!!! Just wish I could find his music on DVD!!!

what a great song! My fave when I was 8!!!

@sauquoit13456 12 лет назад

On this day in 1970 {August 1st} Robin McNamara performed "Lay A Little Lovin' On Me" on the late Dick Clark's American Bandstand... Four weeks earlier on May 30th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #11 and spent 15 weeks on the Top 100 chart... He played the lead role of Claude in the Broadway musical hit "Hair" from 1969 through 1971... R.I.P. Mr. Clark...

@NoviJimB 15 лет назад

One of the many 45s I had and really dug back then. This came out not too long after Put A Little Love In your Heart was a big hit, and back then I thought Robin sounded a bit like Jackie DeShannon, and assumed Robin was a woman! Sure does bring back the memories, like so many songs posted out here. My sisters and I had quite a 45 collection back in the late 60s - early 70s.

@Heston68 15 лет назад

His voice and the song are very reminiscent of the Small Faces, I love this!

@ThatsClassicalMusic 15 лет назад

Amazing robin...very good song!

@LadyOfMaine 16 лет назад

Look at how he moves! Way cool.

@57highland 16 лет назад

I was between 7th and 8th grades when this song came out. I think it came out in the summer.

@SgtRock57 12 лет назад

This song reminds me of jr. high and my first real crush---Linda. She liked my brother---LOVE STINKS!!!

Cool. I have good memories from that song glad to see the live performance. Good moves

@57highland 17 лет назад

Did music like this reflect TOO MUCH innocence? or just the right amount?

@sauquoit13456 12 лет назад

JUST MISSED!!! "Lay A Little Lovin' On Me" just missed making the Billboard's Hot Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 15 weeks in the Hot Top 100 in 1970!!!

@bruceage9er 15 лет назад

Wow, holy crap, all these years I thought this was a woman singing this song. Dang 39 years later and I watch this video and chow. it's a dude! I guess I don't know everything after all. I love this song and all the oldies that go with it.

@recordman64 16 лет назад

He was a member of the cast of Hair at the time, and the background singers were fellow cast members.

@GeorgeVreelandHill 15 лет назад

@Toughmenonly 14 лет назад

Robin is a guy!. I saw him in person back in the broadway musical HAIR!!!

@lepoetress 15 лет назад

I loved this song!!! This is my jam and it is definitely catchy. I think they said he was originally in the cast of Hair or it was Jesus Christ Superstar.

@lepoetress 15 лет назад

That's what good music does to you LOL!!!

@donnampm 13 лет назад

My sister Janet played records in the Gym @ The Franklin School in Newton ma. With Robin... He lived across the st. From the school....

@scubawrestler 15 лет назад

I had to find it on limewire.

@boopswings 15 лет назад

This just goes to show you people do and did not know your music, for this was and is a guy singing this song....I new this for I am an golden oldies music person. DA

@santatigerclaus 14 лет назад

@lpintop wow glad to hear it, never knew, i was sitting there wondering how any guy could lay a little of anything on the person

@MadameLil 15 лет назад

Comparing this to the Small Faces is nice. I also think he sounds a bit like Gene Pitney. Thanks for the clip!!!!

@altonrabon1432 6 лет назад

I was on my first date at age 14 when this song came on while we sat on the sofa.

@pipersack 13 лет назад

I love this song. Sure some haters may say that Robin looks a little bit like Robert Plant, but what concerns me is that the stage set seems to have been taken from an old episode of Sesame Street where the number of the day was #1.

@thejonquil saw robin.paul revere and the raiders,u s apple corps and rare earth in concert at the same concert ......that was music

@thejonquil 15 лет назад

Correct me if she did not release "The Most Wonderful Summer (thank you for giving me the most)" in 1970. I think it was she and I loved it dearly especially as a quintessential young summer love and beach entry.

@1000mcm 11 лет назад

Robin McNamara "Lay A Little Lovin On Me" Peaked (#11) 1970-08-22

@kimberlyj.sullivan9304 10 лет назад

That's true, Lindsey! My husband said the same thing before we read your comment.

@SgtRock57 16 лет назад

LOL! So did I!

@57highland 17 лет назад

This song might sound like bubble-gum but it's actually a semi-mature, way-above-average pop tune. Thanks for the vintage video.

@MadameLil 14 лет назад

@thejonquil - Ms. Ward (real 1st name was Jacqueline) released Wonderful Summer in 1963.

@1979cl1 13 лет назад

@ronniepahigian Yeah, those were the 2 great years withg great songs!!!

@recordman64 16 лет назад

My suspicion is that this is from Upbeat, which was filmed here in my hometown of Cleveland. It sure LOOKED like Don Webster, the host of Upbeat, at the end of the clip.

@CosmicFork 16 лет назад

I Never Understood Why His Song Was Called "BubbleGum"... It Just Seemed Like A Straight-Ahead Rockin' Tune. His Hair Was Like, A Wild Child... I Really Dig Robins' Political Views... He Seems Like A Really Down To Earth Hippy Guy. But I Mean That As A Complement!

@57highland 16 лет назад

You're right. This song is a few cuts above bubblegum. At the very least, it's pretty good pop music.

@oceanbeachguy 17 лет назад

One of my favorite songs of all time. Never saw the video before. Many Many Thanks for posting it. Loved the hand clapping effect. Totally 70s. What show was this from? It looks like some kind of local American Bandstand Show. If anyone knows let me know and time and date too, Thanks.

@eydie57 16 лет назад

mine too,lol

@wheelzwheela 13 лет назад

sounds like Geddy Lee

@57highland 16 лет назад

I thought Robin was a guy, but I was pretty sure he was British. He sounds like it and so does his name.

@kennikuhlmann-clark9860 6 лет назад

Few people know that, in the weeks after this song was released, sales of bubblegum, and anti-frizzy hair products, skyrocketed....

@LauraPinto 16 лет назад

Yes, the clip is from UPBEAT - 1970 - the info is in the video info. When you can, check out Robin's website (the URL is in the description as well) to see his reaction when I first showed this to him! :)

@trinitylancer 13 лет назад

@donnampm You must be talking about Derby St. near Cherry St.

@kimberlyj.sullivan9304 10 лет назад

The video did'nt; my husband, whom was a studio musician in that era, knew HIM.

@lisaparmeter9948 10 лет назад

Awesome! Lovd this tune and the hair and the hippi look!

@bostonlegalfan259 14 лет назад

@devilwolv666 It is.

@yhcranaalex 16 лет назад

kind of hard to tell even by the his name

@57highland 17 лет назад

This song might sound like bubble-gum but it was actually a semi-mature, way-above-average pop tune.

@sccatchflicks 16 лет назад

Wasn't he an original member of the cast of "Hair" (serious question-not commenting on his "locks" here!)

@lancequinn6765 10 лет назад

got a bit of song history...type in lance quinn/mr. deejay

@sammy1995 16 лет назад

What television show is this from??

@LauraPinto 15 лет назад

I think it was Robin Ward who recorded "Wonderful Summer." THIS Robin, Robin McNamara, is a guy. :)

@57highland 16 лет назад

But what do YOU think of it? If you want to say that it's at least decent songwriting, that's just fine!

@bruceage9er 15 лет назад

No, not Small Faces, Robin McNamara, silly.

@ShellTrek 15 лет назад

Small Faces?

@torchkit 16 лет назад

I thought he was black. Actually, it sounds a lot like the Archies.

@beefheart67 16 лет назад

wow my friend thought a chick sang this

@kittyprydekissme 15 лет назад

I always thought it was a girl, too.

@Josephpalmer2000 10 лет назад

For my entire life I'd always thougth that this was sung by a woman. In viewing this video, I see Robin is "gender-neutral". Check out the outfit here, the turtleneck even hides the Adam's Apple. It's Pat, just Pat!
