Thanks so much, after a stroke 2yrs ago I just danced for the first time to a great song I remember well when it first played over the St. Louis KXOK radio station. I dont move as well but it felt good anyway.
Glad to hear that you are recovering from something so scary. I was a freshman in high school in 1966 and remember this song as a favorite. Keep dancing brother.
This brings back a lot of fun memories. I was a drummer in a rock band and we got tons of requests to play this. I was lead singer and drummer. It all ended too soon for me. Drafted right out of high school and haven't been in a band since. I bought a set of Gretsch drums a few years back so I bang around some in the basement. BTW, the year was 1968. It's been 50 looooong years of not performing, but life was good to me and we go on. You guys got it goin' on, so keep on rockin' :)
@cactuskid1950 ....man, you are breaking my heart!! (Seriously!!) I can't understand how / why you wouldn't have pursued finding new / old musician friends and "getting the band back together"??? It's NEVER too late!! A singing drummer is always a AAA+ find for a band! Hope you have had some musical fun over these past 5 years, and that you are continuing to do so!
Sad thing is I heard with Mr. Gerfaci after he had aneurysm , there was a collection of about 24k raised for his family. But there was funny business go ING on. News team confronting some guy making excuses about out red tape etc. Hope it was settled AnD went to his loved ones. Great song. I heard Outsiders released this song in January of 1966. I came in the world 8 months later.
Great cover of a great song! I play,but haven't gotten to play good hot Sixties American rock and roll like that one in a very long time, so it's pretty fine to see folks getting after it. Cool touch with the fem singing lead.
Fantastic job! You gals and guys really captured the original vibe and soul of this song . A pleasure to hear. So much depended on perfect bass line to stay true to original. Wonderful job from everyone. Thanks!
My old high school band played this, AND the Outsiders actually played at our high school prom. Yes, at Bishop Miege in Shawnee Mission, Kansas - 1968.
A little late to comment, since this is an older post, but great cover. And as a bass player, I think that dude did a great job. I've played this song with a band, it reminds me me of how cool it is. Cheers 🍻
Very nice! Most bands play that song too fast. The vocals are right on, the bass player has it down perfect, as does the drummer. Every player nails it.
Excellent cover... well done. Drummer gets a B (needs a bit more) and the singer's shorts and flip-flops need to go away! On stage, the presentation matters > regardless of the gig. But, again, music was well done.
Great cover - all the instruments were so close that I could almost hear those screaming trumpets from the original and that is amazing. And also the lead guitar solo was just like the original. Only thing was , no offense, the lead singer sounded sorta country - maybe one of the guys could do a little better job. The original was one of the 1st 45's I bought back in the day and I still have it. Sonny Geraci would be proud that only a Precious and Few could do it this good. LOL
