Music from the 60’s and 70’s was a lot better than anything that has been put out in the last 40 years.

We did the swim, the pony,and the jerk ,until the sweat poured out. "Time won't let me".Do you guys hear that organ in the background. The 60s wow!

1966 graduated from high school. The National Guard Armory in the next town used to have Friday Night Dances and Concerts for $1.00. Kids from all the surrounding towns filled the hall. This song was one of our dance songs.

What a great song. Hadn’t heard this for years, brings back so many memories!

This was the Outsiders 1966 break-out hit and it was a good one hitting number 5 on the Billboard charts. The 60's had some really great music.

Sonny Geraci from my hometown: Cleveland, Ohio. Love this song. Check out his other band Climax/“Precious and Few”.

This band is best known for this hit "Time Won't Let Me" in early 1966. They did have some other songs such as "Respectable", "Help Me Girl", "Bend Me, Shape Me", "Gotta Leave Us Alone" etc.

We had so much phenomenal music when we were growing up!! I want to jump up and dance...but my knees are screaming, “YOU CAN’T DO THAT ANYMORE!!”

All of my teen years took place during the 60's. I was 18 when this song hit the charts . I still love it just as much now.

Shawn & Mel, thank you for reacting to this great song. The lead singer, the late Sonny Geraci, also had a major hit in 1972 with the group Climax. The song is “Precious and Few”. Please react to this, you won’t be sorry. ❤️

There will never be two decades for music like the 60’s and 70’s!

From Cleveland, Ohio. Lead singer Sonny Geraci. I can still picture my late husband dancing to this song❤️

I've always loved this song. Great tune!

Growing up on the music of the '60s is why I'm a rockin' old lady now! That music has kept me young. It's sad that young people now don't have a clue what really great music is. No autotune or anything like that back in the day. Just pure talent.

Ya'll are grooving just like they used to! Awesome!

I was a very young teen but I got to hear these wonderful bands and songs!! I was lucky!

This brings back memories of the Air Force. I was shooting pool in the Day Room, when I heard this song in '66. Great fast dance song!!

The lead singer of this Cleveland Ohio group is named Sonny Geraci and he was the lead singer of another group called Climax and as the lead singer in that group he sang the song called precious and few which I think you will love as much as this song maybe more.

Ten years old when this song came out,my sister was 15, she made me get up and dance with her,I tried,it was fun 😎🏹

You can’t help singing & dancing to this group 🎼🎸 also ‘ Bend Me Shape Me’ is another rockin song 🤗🇨🇦☮️🎵

I wasn’t around back then but as teenagers in the mid/late 90s, my brother and I got deep heavily into the 60s and this was one of the bands we listened to a lot..their whole greatest hits release is amazing and soulful

That great trumpet playing you heard on this track by The Outsiders was by the late John Madrid who also played with classic big bands & jazz outfits like Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Harry James, Stan Kenton & David Benoit. Madrid sadly passed away at 42 in 1990 but laid down some wonderful trumpet during his short career. Madrid also played trumpet on songs for Donna Summer, Elton John, Sonny & Cher, & Wayne Newton. Obviously, with acts like this, he must have been a top-tier trumpet player.

it was a BIG hit and everyone danced to it....another good one is Sir Douglas Quintet and their song She's About a Mover

Check out "Walk Away Reene" by The Left Banke (not the 4 tops version). In 2005, Rolling Stone placed it at #220 in the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" wikipedia

This was a huge hit! Music was evolving and so exciting. It might sound rather simplistic today but back then it was radical!!

When Shaun says "Whoa Nelly" it's gonna be a classic.

That Rabbit Hole will take you to some sweet music!! ❤️😘

I wish we could go back never get sick of that moment when spul was alive i get tears in my eyes❤

Haven't heard this for years! And yes we did dance anywhere and anytime we could!

I was 10 years old ♥️😎

This song always gets played on repeat along with The Tremelos "Here Comes My Baby" and Crispin St. Peters "The Pied Piper!" You should check those out as well! One of my all-time favorites! Sonny's voice is just perfect!

Another great song I never heard before! It can't have been a hit in the UK, or I would have heard it. I don't understand why it wasn't a hit over here, cos it's a great song. 👌

1966... I just graduated HS !! Great music and loved those songs with a horn section !! They song "Grass Roots", "Midnight Confession"

Wow - haven't heard this in decades! The outsiders were actually the first band that I ever saw perform live! I was about 13-14, and after begging my parents for a while, they let me go to a dance in a nearby small town (the LRC in Halstad, MN ), and this was the band. This song was recently released and getting radio airplay, and they must have been traveling through the area on the way to bigger towns/venues. They didn't have horn players or an organist, just a singer, guitar player, bass player and drummer, but I enjoyed it, and it furthered my ambitions to play guitar in my own bands (which I eventually did).

I might be a little bias, but I believe the decade of the 60's had the best Music Composers, lyricist, Singers, Groups, Bands and Orchestras in Rock & Roll history. Love your reaction to the music of the 60's. I never took it for granted for growing up with this music. I am now a 70-year-old senior citizen and still Rockin and Rollin.

I was born in April 1954.... PERFECT..... It has been a great time.

For us facing the draft after high school or college, this song said it all....66-67

I was 14 when this song played on AM Radio, in 1966, one year before my friend and I discovered FM Radio. I really liked this song and I still do. Brings back memories.

You have to admit a lot of this music makes you feel good! :)

I'm astonished a great singer like Sonny Geraci wasn't more successful. Joined Climax in 72 with Precious and Few, was.a sizeable hit. This is one of my favorite songs of all times.🔥👍

The band The Seeds is a must listen! Pushin' too hard is an epic song!

Bobby fuller four-" let her dance", " another sad and lonely night"," never to be forgotten"---youll love it!

Love the reaction guys.Just as much as I love this song 👍

The 50’s - 60’s -70’s is the best music ever!!

Love that you did this song!!!!! Great song!

1966.the best year in music,period.

Classics never get old just better.

This song is from the year I was born! AWESOME!!

That instrument was a trumpet, and that trumpet player has got a strong lip and great range.

The 60’s had it all! Which I was Blessed to be a part of! This song is so good!! Makes you wanna dance but mostly so clean💯❤️

Another awesome group of the 60's. Man they were coming out with so many hits. Love 💘 💜 💛

It has been so easy and fun for us too take you both down the rabbit holes of my youth. I have loved your reactions and the wishing to have lived then.That was a great time of music and adventure. To see the joy you both have for music. Well Thank you for the ride ❣️

great song/great memories/ great reaction/ THANKS SHAWN AND MEL

Such a great song. I was in the 6th grade when this came out… time doesn’t stop rolling along.

I love watching the two of you enjoy the music I grew up with!

The biggest KICK, is watching your "Reactions!" Keep em' Comin'!

the lead singer later went on to form the group Climax which had the hit "precious and few"

Thank you for playing my request, I am older than this song and I love it when this generation appreciates our music, I listened to this on a transistor radio when it first came out, even at that quality, it was awesome! Remember transistor?

Roller skated to this song many times. Those were the days.

I was a sophomore in high school. We loved rock, Motown, and Elvis. Why do I remember the lyrics, haven't heard in a long time. I can't remember my passwords. I was 14 years old when this was playing on the radio.

I live in an apartment - the man upstairs just bangs on his floor when I play this music - but I dig it so much!!!

Another great song from the 60's!

One of the biggest song it’s always on radio

We were dancing our asses off. The 60's and 70's was about the beat, the groove and dancing. Check out some of the dance shows with performers like American Bandstand, where the Action is, Hullabaloo and Soul Train,

Love this song. 💞💞💞

Gosh we had great music to listen to and dance to!

A one hit wonder band. I Love 💕 this tune

That driving bass line, the horns! Such groovy stuff!

I've heard this hundreds of times, and always dug it. It has been decades since I've heard it though. Every young person at that time knew it, and moved to it. Except Eleanor Throckmorton of Parma, Ohio, who sadly only had a head and two toes, separated by three necks. She was a little shy, as you might have predicted. Seriously though, the philosopher Schopenhauer once said that the new was seldom good, because good things are only new for a fraction of their lives. So by finding and sharing these timeless treasures, you are sparing new generations from the flowing rivers of garbage that are being newly hustled. And by training the ear to the timeless good, new creators can evolve better products for yet other generations to come. Every country, every age, has something worth hearing.

I’m glad you guys like this song it’s one of my favorites

These reaction videos are interesting, because the youth are so surprised at how good the songs from the 60's are. I was a little kid back then living with 2 teenage sisters. The radio was on all day ( that's all we had lol).

The move from Rock and Roll to Rock was around this time, a new sound.

Truly a great song I was 14 when I heard this ! I think you would love the Dave Clark 5 try bit’s and pieces live and check out the Foot Stomping and another great song is because

Trumpet🎺 And 🎷 saxophone sound fantastic!

Such energy

Oh! Never forget those Hops. They played records at our hops

Great song. Great memories

That was a fun song!! If this was out in 1966 I was just a year old 😲

Almost sixty years ago; your Granny was taking your Mom to elementary school while this played on the radio.

Great tune to dance to!!!

So Smooth and Clean!

A really fun song, & great to dance to.

I remember when this song came out. They used to play it at sock hops at school.

Great song. I actually used to play that song when I was in bands.

Wow! That was great to watch! I've heard this song since it came out, but had never seen the band that sang it till now. Love it, and love you guys for playing it. Keep up the great work.

That's 🔥. 😁💯

Still on my playlist !

The lead singers was Sonny Geraci, born 1946, passed away in 2017.

60'S BABY !!!

It was a land of a 1000 dances back in the 60’s and 70’s.

When you realize that musicians and studios had very little equipment to work with, it makes these old recordings so much more special. If you were a guitar player in the US in 1966 would have a guitar, a fender amp that had reverb, and maybe tremolo (you'd need to plug into the "vibrato" channel to use the tremolo), the amp only made overdrive if you played at very high volume and you maybe had a fuzz pedal and or a tape delay unit. That was it. You didn't modify anything, because there was no aftermarket parts. Studios had either 4 or 8 track tape recording machines, and delay, reverb, compression, and limiters, and nothing else. The studio itself was just a big room, not specifically designed for acoustics, very primitive conditions. Musicians, producers, and engineers had to really know their stuff, and be clever about how the gear and studio was used.

FINALLY someone reacted to OUR HOMETOWN boys and were a hit NATIONALLY. THEY ARE FROM CLEVELAND, OHIO and we Clevelanders who were teens back in the '60s were SOOOOO proud of them. Some of the original members have already passed. Through the years the band has continued on under the same name with many various members over the years, up until the present. Sonny Geraci who continued with the band for years, died in 2017.

The greatest years of Rock

The song reminds me so much being in 6th grade getting ready for summer break A 60s mega song. You guys reactions are awesome 👏

My favorite song of theirs is a little known one off their first album. It's called "Girl In Love". Sad, but beautiful.

You two are such a wonderful couple! I remember this song when I was pretty young and liked it , but ofxoure didnt know or understand the lyrics.... thanks for sharing ,and keep on building you program.

I grew up with this music. 80s baby here, daughter of a Boomer

GOD BLess YOU ALL!!!!!!!

The Beatles.....massive legendary rabbit hole! I Wanna Hold You Hand, Love Me Do, Revolution, Hey Jude, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Elanor Rigby, Taxman. Timeless music.

THE 1️⃣☆9️⃣☆6️⃣☆0️⃣'s Gotta reaffirm how thankful I am to have been born at beginning of the most fresh & exciting, wide open decade of popular music, ever‼️ My trusty transistor radio, tuned to King Radio 📻
