Just loved these guys, so sad all those days are long gone. Just clean straight music an era long gone. Never realized how fast 45 years could go :(

Saw these guys in New York in the '80s at one of those British Invasion package tours. Chad & Jeremy were the most impressive act on the bill. Excellent.

Chad Stuart, of the English singing duo of Chad & Jeremy, died on December 20th, 2020 at his home in Hailey, Idaho of pneumonia. He was 79 years old... Between 1963 and 1966 the duo had eleven records on Billboard's Top 100 chart, one made the Top 10, "A Summer Song", it peaked at #7 {for 2 weeks} in October of 1964... They had two Top 20 records, "Willow Weep For Me" {#15 in 1964} and "Before and After" {#17 in 1965}... Surprisingly, they had only one charted record in their native England, "Yesterday's Gone", it reached #37 in 1963... May Mr. Stuart R.I.P.

I saw them in concert and had such a crush on Jeremy! They are both still very good performers and Chad now teaches music at a college in Idaho now.

They still are the most impressive. They are timeless.

Wow, no girls in skimpy outfits disgracing themselves, no guys with a bazillion chains around their necks, no flashing of money all through the video. No references to drugs or alcohol. No jumping out into the crowd and fighting. How did we survive...great memories man...thanks.

I've always liked C & J , great song. Thanx for posting. If you think those were the good old days remember: THESE ARE THE GOOD OLD DAYS!

Grew up with this song. Beautiful!

This takes me back to a time long forgotten. I Loved these guy! I see they are making tours in the USA. So good to see them again and hear their songs.

great video---they will be playing live at the black oak casino in tuolumne california on 3/15/2007. they are still great!

I always loved this song.

My first 'concert' was Chad and Jeremy Baptist College Charleston, South Carolina spring 1966 they were wonderful. First part of the show was just the two of them w acoustics. Second half brought out a drummer and a bassist (James William Guercio who later discovered and produced The Buckinghams and Chicago). Chad brought out his doubleneck electric I remember 'Stormy Monday lues' as part of the 2nd half. I was in 10th grade.....

They were both so cute and dreamy.

THAT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!

Be still my heart! I forgot how many great songs they produced.

On this day in 1964 {November 28th} Chad & Jeremy performed "Willow Weep for Me" on the late Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand'... Two weeks earlier on November 14th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #15 and spent 13 weeks on the Top 100... It reached #13 on the Canadian RPM Tracks chart... R.I.P. Mr. Clark {1929 - 2012}...

This is really a gorgeous song, done gorgeously. Thanks!

C & J played the "Redcoats" on the old Dick Van Dyke Show, a British duo, mobbed by teen girls, who were to play Allen Brady Show. Episode: The Redcoats are Coming. Airdate: Feb. 10 1965

Chad And Jeremy's recent work is thankfully on par with this 1964 World Artists label monster classic. They are superb live and still more than hold their own in the studio.

What can i say except to say thank you, thank you for this clip....

High quality duo! Thanks for posting .. this is something "new" to me ... because I've never heard these lads before ... but, I'm the die-hard fan of music from the early sixties! Thanks again!

omg thank you soooo much for posting this vid,,,,,,,,,,,gosh, happy memories of days long gone bye.

Great song!

This hit by Chad & Jeremy was the 49th #1 song on Billboard's newly formed chart that is now known as the Adult Contemporary charts. It also hit #15 on the Top 40 charts.

great video....thanks

Thank you!!!

And the background brass is very interesting, even though this version doesn't have the sparkling harmonies of the Lettermen version, musically this reminds me of several other early 60s hits that incorporate the same background brass.

@flamesounds,,,,Isn't wonderful to still get chills when you hear this song? Makes is all worth it. I'd rather have these clips here and there,,,,,then never to have experienced it at all.

British invasion lounge lizard music. I actually have this on vinyl. Perfect with a Macanudo and a dry martini.

This is an exceptrionally gentle, thoughtful, tender song. What are you expecting -- ganngster rap? Their performance is PERFECT for this song, which reached #15 on the charts in 1964.

I love disco and its love child, House music. lol And I see what u mean about music being "crappy" but thats how music evolves. You do realize that this is exactly how some baby boom parents felt about early rock and roll and probably how I'll feel about the generic r&b/pop/electro crap my kids will be bombarded with. :)

love it

yes i remember this song and i sought it out by ear... nobody tlod me it was never discussed. but im sure this was lennon mccarntney,,, soon as i said that , maybe lennon mccartny wanted to be able to do this... but it was good as i say else no its good.

Just ordered tix for Fri. 1/23/09 in Cleveland (Winchester Tavern), Now I have to go thru my albums to see if I have any for them to sign (I 'don't' think I have any-F**K!)

brings back memories of my GROUPIE days......

#15 pop and no.1 AC JAN 1965

I wonder who would win in a knife fight between Chad & Jeremy and their Brit doppelgangers Peter & Gordon.

There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South... Here in this pretty world Gallantry took its last bow... Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and their Ladies Fair, of Master and of Slave... Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered. A Civilization gone with the wind...

i love the little octave run at 0:24

@SandozTheMegatherium right on, that it is. Thanks.

I like his oversized glasses!

Great. I suspect they were actually doing this live (TV performances of the day were generally always lip sync work), as this performance of the song has different mix and backup than the hit recording. What show is this from?

this tune is better than a sedative

"More than usually speakin loudly sayin nothin U confusin me U losin me Ur game is twisted U want me enlisted in ur usary Foolishly, most men join the ranks cluelessly Buffoonishly accept the deception believe the perception Reflection rarely seen across the surface of the lookin glass Walkin the street wonderin who they be lookin past Lookin gassed with them imported designer shades on..

nice

Does anyone know what brand mic they are using?

Chad looks like Big Rhonda from That 70s Show

@wandre9 Well Gordon could DEFINITELY take the willowy Jeremy- his counterpart. However Peter may have some trouble with Chad. Peter is frail and Chad may get the drop.

I was 6 years old.....As I'm old now, I realize this song was a Pre-Vietnam era (1964). Music artists were authentic, not the micro-wave fake artists of today. Rap, heavy metal, mexican banda music about drug cartels= PLEASE!

@dfpolitowski2 It looks like an Electro-Voice Model-666.

umm... correction lol I meant this genre and(good) rap takes alot of skill. [Talib Kweli, Lupe Fiasco, Common, Nas, JayZ etc]

Yes, albums like Illmatic by Nas and Me Against the World by 2Pac are on the same level. Musically, they are incomparable. Really, comparision is just pointless because they are so different. But they are just as great. Those albums influenced and changed rock music, the albums i mentioned did the same for rap. And rap is the most lyrical genre bar none. Granted, your description fits with most modern pop rap, but not the whole genre. And no other genre can tell stories like hip hop.

@leeleebaby2100 Damn I wish that were true.

What do you mean you can't tell stories with singing. That's totally insane. Some of the best stories came from the blues, soul and rock. Of course rap isn't all bling but don't put rap as the be all end all. Bob Dylan, Chad & Jermemy, Curtis Mayfield, Carol King, Stevie Wonder just to name a few tell some of the deepest stories though their singing. Oh, the Beatles and Burt Bacharach, who have had their lyrics/stories reinterpreted more than any other rock act in history

If you took a pole, you'd find that rap is a diverse enough genre that as many people listen to it as rock. You can't tell stories with singing the way you can by rapping, or use as complex wordplay. Its no all bling, cars and bitches, far from it. Listen to Lupe, Common or Nas, like lyric2go recommended. You might learn something

...I find its distressin theres never an in-between We either niggaz or Kings We either bitches or Queens" Mos Def "Thieves in the night" And the music behind this rap is just as Poetic. Rap is a world you have yet to discover, but it's cool. Columbus didn't recognize America either.

All British Invasion men weren't so incredibly handsome...Freddie from Freddie and the Dreamers was kind of geeky... :-P

Quite a few people have lost alot of respect for rap. An why is attacking rap ignorant. There are quite a few ignorant rappers out there. Lets be real, when lyrics do nothing but degrade, it won't be long before people will attack it. Rap right now is the cocaine of music. There is a demand for it so it will be supplied. As destructive as cocaine is rap is approaching that level. And I strongly disagree that all rappers right their songs. Have you heard of ghostwriting.

Okay, can I try? HATE, HATE, HATE! KILL, KILL, BITCHES, BITCHES, HATE, HATE, HATE, GRUNT, (

LOL .. I DO have a long road to travel. Do me a favor; When my album comes out, don't buy it. Your friends can buy it, but you don't buy it. lol j/k man. It's all good. Opinions are immunity to being told your wrong and you are most defiantly entitled to yours. ::goes to voice lessons singing Italian aria and Jazz standards busterth has never heard before::

Okay, this forum went from Chad & Jeremy to the relevance of rap lol????? Wow, just get one comment and the original subject becomes passe. Look to even put rappers at the level of Curtis Mayfield, Joni Mitchell, Carole King, James Taylor and Issac Hayes just to name a few is outright ignorant. There are some decent rappers who can write but lets not get senile(sp).

Good rappers always write their own songs. Why would ghostwriters do that when they're talented enough to make their own songs? Elephantiasis? Besides, your view of hip hop is very ignorant. Sure, there is basic, destructive and stupid rap, but their is brilliant, powerful rap as well. You need to open your mind, mate. If you're game enough, listen to a great rap album, they're not hard to find. I've lost respect for rap, but behind all the stereotypes there's a great, deep genre.

I have yet to hear a rapper that created a Sgt. Pepper, a Dark Side of the Moon, a Night at the Opera. Rap lyrical? Rap may have lyrics but not lyrical by definition. I've listed to rap since the late 80's: Repetitively banal. Sorry, there is more to songs than a looped sample, unvaried rhythm tracks, a monotonous vocal line absent of melody and variety, over low drum beat blasted through a sub-woofer. As protest or street poetry, I'd say Rap is imitated worldwide, and is influential.

For something to be music it doesn't have to conform with your views. It's a different kind of music, and currently its recorded in more languages around the world than any other genre. These guys will never be remembered like the legends of Hip Hop, so quit being elitist about it. Do yourself a favour and open you mind, listen to Illmatic by Nas, Me Against the World by Tupac or ATLiens by OutKast and then say that again. Lyrically, these Chad & Jeremy are nothing. Yes, pop rap = shit.

yawn

Rap is crap. The only melody you will find in Rap is completely, 100% derivative, which is a nice way of saying stolen. Sorry, lose the ramp discussion, should not even be in the same breath as Chad & Jeremy.
