The 60's wouldn't have been quite as special for us Baby Boomer's without Johnny Rivers. That's a fact.........

I forgot about this great song. Johnny Rivers was so great!

This man belongs in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Induct Johnny into the Hall of Fame!!! Everybody out there who is a fan of JR or just plain good music, call attention to this in any way that you can!!! Let's stand up for Johnny!!!

Only Johnny Rivers can sing this song right! It was my favorite song! ❤️

He did it all: songwriter, session musician, hitmaker, record label owner, discoverer of The Fifth Dimension and Jimmy Webb. Only the legendary Johnny Mercer can match all that in pop music history ,,, but still there is no Hall of Fame love for Johnny Rivers.

How is this man not in the R&R Hall of Fame?!

I would sing this song to my wife. She liked it when i would sing. She often asked me to sing. Now she is gone, maybe it was my singing haha. I miss those days.

Not in the Hall, you've got to be kidding!?? This guy is way cool, and made music I still crank up to max whenever I hear.

I’m never disappointed with a Johnny Rivers music, just love the man

What a talent! This song makes you wanna dance. Saw johnny quite a few years ago at a festival, and I was blown away, and so were my neighbors. We still talk about that show to this day. Brilliant

i like the way his songs were produced, it always sounded like he recorded in a studio full of musicians and friends all having a great time.

I saw Johnny in Seattle about 20 years ago. He performed at a supper club and was great. He came around to the table and said hi to everyone. He's such a nice guy and is a wonderful entertainer/singer.

Johnny should be in the HALL he was was under rated

I was never a really big fan of Johnny Rivers but this song really kicks ass!!! And he is looking like his is having lots of fun singing it!

Johnny Rivers does need to be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

People who disliked such a great song have no taste in music

HALL OF FAME for Mr. Rivers....I SAY

i love his voice, his guitar playing and the obvious connection he has with his audience. you can see in his eyes how much joy he gets from performing. i am so grateful for these great film clips!

ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME.. ALL THE WAY!

No one handles a song better than Johnny! Thank you for all your great music and God bless from Patrick

All of his song's and music were great and made you get up and dance! A legend ❤

johnny really knew how to deliver a simple song . great singer and personality

Johnny Rivers belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I remember when Mountain of Love was first released. I bought a single. I was fortunate to see Johnny perform live two different times. Once in Los Angeles, and again in Phoenix. He was a great performer.. Stephen Anderson.

Two minutes and thirty six seconds of perfection. Music heals.

this is the charisma every church and church reverend should have.

He was born in New York City, but his family moved to Baton Rouge when he was a boy. It would make sense to choose him to turn this great Country & Western song into a pop classic.

Johnny Rivers not being in the rock and roll Hall of Fame is one the worst things in music...But when you have beef with the powers that be they make things difficult. He obviously deserves it...Your in our KZfaq Hall of Fame Johnny!

One of the very best natural rock/swamp guitar players around. Heard him clowning around before a state fair gig many years ago with fellow musicians before his set on stage. He was great , Tony Joe White great. He never showed it off much but his modest solos were always hooky and perfect.

Johnny Rivers Had 10 , ON THE TOP 10 Hit LIST from 65- 76, and Many Others by Other SINGERS / Performers !

I still can't believe how many great artists haven't been inducted into the Rock and roll hall of fame. And they say they are running out of artists to put in. They have added musicians that don't hold a candle to Johnny Rivers, Grand Funk, The Carpenters, and about a 100 others I can name but they put NWA, Public Enemy, the Beastie Boys, Sex Pistols, etc in before the these other great entertainers. Sorry for the rant...play on. Johnny Rivers was awesome. Saw him here in Arizona just a couple of years ago and he still is amazing!

A little bluesy a little country a little rock and roll = 1 great song

I used to have this on a 45. I'd play and sing along for hours.

One of my all time faves...Keep on rockin' Johnny!

I grew up in the 60”s, I woke up last night with mountain of love playing in my head , I don’t know why but Johnny rivers was on my mind ever since. That man is being screwed if they don’t vote him in to the RRHOF! Period!!

This man is fantastic always was always will be.

This Man should be in the HALL! aGREED!!

Dude is a LEGEND.

isnt it amazing how a song from our youth can carry you back to those 'good old days'.

Great Song and Video Johnny U ROCK 5 *****'s & Thanks for Sharing :)

Not only a great song but one of the best performers from the 60's. Love the harmonica in the song. Hit after hit came from Johnny Rivers. Still love to hear him sing. Tracks of My Tears is still the best version of that song by him.

Is it country? Is it rock and roll? Is it boogie woogie? Is it skiffle? Don't give a crap... It is wonderful and it is timeless. And I wish I had that guitar.

I'm 25, and I completely agree with you. This is tremendous music, -I'm not a fan of hippies and the free-love message - but I absolutely love 60s music. No idea why, since it's not anywhere near my generation, but it's my music for sure.

Johnny is a GIANT in the annals of Rock! Put him in the Hall, or it ain't the HAll !

I saw him several times in person. What great concerts! Man! Could he play that cherry red Gibson! One of the greatest who ever lived, IMHO

In the 60s , we had enough beer, enough pizza , but never got enough 0f Johnny Rivers music ,all night poker, all night party with friends and family, his greatest hits.

I think he's in The Soul Hall of Fame but this is the first song I ever heard by Johnny , I remember I was 8 years old

Listened to a lot of Johnny Rivers. Cool voice.

put this man in the HALL OF FAME NOW!!!!~

Put this man in the Hall of Fame or it will be the hall of shame!

Another great cover by Johnny!

I love Johnny Rivers!

possibly the most underrated musician ever. He should be playing larger venues than just weddings, state fairs,etc.

Some songs never get old.

He had some kick-ass guitar chops, too!

Rivers is one of the greatest. This is one of his best songs.

six years old dancing in the kitchen with my Mom ! She introduced me to so much amazing music ...I miss her so much

That's just GREAT!

Thanks Lee57......think it was his biggest hit here in Australia......remember it well!

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should be ashamed that Johnny Rivers is not in the Hall.

another great American songwriter with a unique voice and style

Who's gonna click the 100,000th view of this!!Top song from my past.....ahh memories!

One of my favorite singers from way back when! Pls. come back; we miss you!

PUT THIS MAN IN THE R&R HALL OF FAME!!!!!

Hard to beat. Go Johnny go.

Great song, great singer!

Yep I saw this one on TV my grandmother liked him. But it was the first time I heard Rivers sing is here. He needs a ⭐ star outside Radio city New York

Why this man is not in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, I couldn't tell you why.

He was here in New Mexico at the Buffalo Thunder Hotel about a month ago. The man does not age. really! He looks young and sings young.

I am 61 and remember listening to this songs around the sixties! I've just told my younger son (29) that while listening to Johnny Rivers how could I buy Beatles!!!! How I used to save fromn my pay just to have some of his records!!!!!!

Never had the pleasure of seeing Johnny Rivers in concert, I hear that he's great , I know I enjoy this CD thank you for posting this beautiful song

This man needs to be in R&R hall of fame instead of some in there now

I know he had bigger hits, especially Memphis but this has always been my favorite. In 1980 I worked at a club in SF which was owned by the original owner of the Whiskey a Go-Go in LA. He always bragged about how he discovered Johnny and gave him his start. Like he needed any help, lol.

Johnny Rivers has outstanding singing and guitar playing talent and never has relied upon tricks to entertain we lucky Americans. When this video was made in the mid sixties the budget was extremely limited and hence no live music. But believe me we music fans loved seeing our musical heroes on television, of course we understood there was lipsynching taking place but we were delighted to see Johnny Rivers on television. He is an outstanding musician who could entrance his audience.

Serious talent.

Johnny is so good

JOHNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! Even my MAMA LOVED your songs back then!!! WHERE DID U GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO??

This is what real MUSIC IS!!!! The kids these day, that crap they listen to and put their ear out and all vulgar words is CRAP. America was Great at this time and will be again soon!

man never was there any body that came close to this man in his day why cant we have more music like this as others have said +100

this song is in my head...has been for 60 years ...fuck the hall of fame ...its with me!

I love how Johnny Rivers covered this Harold Dorman classic!

What a great musician! Mountain was A smash hit for Rivers and man did he ever deliver on that first LP.

I don't care who wrote the songs. When I hear them I think Johnny Rivers--no one else. He should be in the hall!

I don't think Johnny ever performed standing in early days. He always sat on a stool. Brilliant singer guitarist writer

what so cool bout johnny is he always had happiness in his songs and was so real when alot of artists seemed angry or stoned

I'm bouncing in my seat I love this stuff, nothing like the 60s will ever occur again.

Love this song.

I agree with all the links behind me, actually learned how to play drums and music by his records, by ear. And love his music and talent as one of historical value in the history of Rock And Roll, please consider this man's talents!

One of so many great ones. I was too young then but even so loved his songs back when they came out.

One of my all time favorite songs - maybe the first song I ever heard as a kid

Thank you for such a GREAT comment. I'm 35 and feel the same way. At least I got to grow up in the 80's when music, films, television, and society was still great!

Years(decades ago)young folk use to talk about "going steady"! Back in the sixties when I was a young kid, I use to hear wedding bells,horns beeping&tin cans rattleing coming down the street every weekend&even mid-week! As I got older&older this was less&less! Ohhh I can't remember the last time-so long ago! This song talks about marriage&a wedding! The mountain of love now is a deep dark smelly,nasty,smoldering pit in so many folks lives these days! Wrecked love hurts&its so lonely to bear it!!

I loved this! my time, the 60s....still cool! didn't realize he was so good looking..thxverymuch

Johny Rivers is another performer that doersn't get enough acolaides as an artist. he does good cover tunes justice.

Rock on Johhny your one of my favorites!

What a great talent ! He was amazing !

Miss him, get down rivers.

Love it , love it, love it! This went straight into my "favorites" file! 10+ stars!

Put Rivers in the Hall of Fame or change the name of it
