Gotta give major props to the backup singers, they nailed it.

@user-hj3qp7yf3h 2 ай бұрын

Those singers are Darlene Love, Jean King, and Fanita James - The Blossoms; may very well be the best back-up singers of all time. Beautiful. They backed up many singers in the '60's including many Johnny Rivers, Elvis, and Tom Jones. Darlene Love her own big hits as well some produced by Phil Spector.

He was never a smoker or had a drug problem like a lot of performers, so his voice help up perfectly. There are lots of videos of him performing live at different shows on KZfaq and it will blow you away.

So many 60's songs for you to hear. A few off the top of my mind are: "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" by the Four Seasons, "Groovin" by the Young Rascals, "Tell Her No" by the Zombies, "Go Now" by Moody Blues, "Because" by Dave Clark Five, "I've Got To Get A Message To You" by the Bee Gees, "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" by the Animals, "Daydreamer Believer" by the Monkeys, "The Air that I Breathe" by the Hollies and "Can't Find My Home" by Cream. Any Beatles song from their early albums. This is an eclectic group but the 60s had many styles from pop to harder rock as the decade progressed.

Johnny Rivers was an artist my older brother introduced me to in my single digit years in the mid 60's. Rivers is 78 now. The album he had (I still have it!) was 'Johnny Rivers Changes'. I didn't know it until years later, but the 'Changes' part of it was that he was a regular at 'The Whiskey A-Go-Go' on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood, CA. singing, what was considered at the time pure hard rock & roll. It was considered antithetical to the 'squares' of the previous generation born in the 40's & 50's. When he did this 'Changes' album, he covered a dozen or so romantic ballads and 'love songs' like 'Poor Side of Town' (he wrote this song), 'Baby I Need Your Lovin', 'Tracks of my Tears', 'By the Time I get to Phoenix', 'Summer Rain' and, one of my favorites, 'California Dreamin'. He has a unique voice and vocal technique for sure. BTW... Rivers recorded the title song for the late night concert-influenced TV show 'The Midnight Special'. :)

To me it always seemed like there was an "I'm hurting" tone to his voice in this song. Other Johnny Rivers greats include: "Secret Agent Man", "The Tracks of My Tears" (yes, the same song done by Smokey Robinson and The Miracles), "Slow Dancing", "Help Me Rhonda" (yes, same as The Beach Boys song), "Memphis", "Mountain of Love" (cover version but still a big hit for him), "Seventh Son", "Summer Rain", "Baby I Need Your Lovin'" (cover, big hit), "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu", and so many more. Wow, I never realized back then that Johnny did so many covers, probably because they were still such big hits for him.

The 60s had so many great songs. I would recommend Dion's Abraham, Martin and John. It is an absolute must listen.

I grew up listening to 60’s music when it was new and fresh (born in 1964) when music had meaning and heart. This is why I subscribed to your channel. Keep doing what you’re doing and thank you!

One of my favorite sings of all time. I have promised my wife that I would not sing in the car when she is asleep unless this song comes on. Then the volume is going up(a little) and I am singing along with Mr. Rivers. You are right, in incredibly good song and artist.

Anybody who's a Johnny Rivers fan I'd recommend his version of "I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water." I don't believe it was a hit for him, but it's a fantastic version of the song.

I think you way underrate his voice.He had so many great songs. This might have been his best.

One of the best things to come out of the Johnny Rivers studio was Jimmy Webb. He found a home there for his songs, and started a BUNCH of careers with his amazing melodies.

This is a great song, love the mellow, haunting sound of his deep, deep love for her no matter what. ❤ The tone of the guitar matches the tone of his voice so well.
