Haven't read every comment here but felt compelled to chime in and share thoughts. I fully anticipate feedback and surely some shall slam me for what follows but here is one guy's side to this story. I, along with five other classmates from the 1964 grads at St. Patrick H.S. in Chicago (all boys BTW), finished out Senior Year as members of chorus & band. We ended every year doing a joint concert with a girls' school. Since '64 was essentially the beginning of the Beatles, we were allowed to do "I Want To Hold Your Hand" live for those performances. Both the concertgoers and the girls went nuts when we did our piece; two of us, Pat and myself, were approached by one of their head gals after the final concert and requested that we come to their first event the following school year and play the song. Looked at each other, agreed as pretty psyched to be approached by females... and got the others to form a band, which became the New Colony Six. So, now that it is 60 summers later (convenient coincidence, right?) and while one of us is living in New England, one in NM, one in GA, one in FL and one in the cemetery, with me still active and having been lead singer or co-lead now for (NC)6 decades, is the current New Colony Six, the majority of the team now together since 1988 (deaths have forced changes since '88 as well as voluntary retirements), a fake, a farce, a fiasco or a fine continuation of the history I and others began in 1964? Open to hearing from you; open to any interested folks with opportunities to play to reach out to me directly here or at my page on Farcepuke, err Facebook, and share your own thoughts. I get here less often than FB, but shall place this comment of mine there in hopes of reminding me to look back here now and then. Pardon the length but hearing thoughts pro and con are solicited - facebook.com/New.Colony.Six.Ray.Graffia.Jr.r/ and thanks to ROCKVIDEOPHOTOGRAPHER for the posting. I've known Mark Dawson a long time - NC6 worked with this iteration of GR not too long ago; respect those of you who care enough about our music and those of the bands who followed us (We hit the charts 9 weeks before the second Chicago band did - that was Shadows of Knight with their cover of Them's/Van Morrison's album cut with cleaned up lyrics unsuitable for airing in 1965 = Gloria) and I can verify that too but not allowed to do so here sans ability to include attachments but already do have them on FB...); closing this lengthy piece now and shall await your feedback here & on Facebook! Ray Graffia, Jr., founding member and STILL performing with New Colony Six! 🙏

I never got the chance to see him perform. I'm sure he is amazing. I have posted alot of comments cause I'm a life long fan,but recently someone decided to be cruel. There is someone preying on his loyal fans so be careful. I'm still a fan. Still an idol and heart throb. Keep being you Shaun Cassidy😊

Nick Lowe still sounds great. Always loved his music. Thank for the post. Cruel to be kind rocks!

i wish malcolm would sing kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h59ge8WdmJ7IgY0.html

love the guitar fills on this song... also one of my favorite songs!

I am not a Beatles Fan but the Group with Roy sons are good. I am a Roy Orbison Fan ❤❤

I met the money man a few years ago. He was asking me why I wasn’t married to the girl I was with. I think I was set up. 👀

To be doing this with your children is unbelievable. The fact that they are musician's and like their dad's music and can be a part of this is a true heavenly blessing . Wow

I'm just over 50, and Ricky Nelson was my favorite artist, when I was 14. I remember when you boys were born...you hold a lot of respect

Sound sucks

That crazy negative comments! Stop it! He is a proud dad, singing with his family!!

The song is being played too slow. It's like watching cement harden.

His daughter is gorgeous. Good voice. This would have be a cool show to be at

Rest with the lord eddie your in a place where rainbows shine bright❤

There are two Cream tribute bands who are way beyond these guys. The New York band is Creamsicle, the Savannah Ga. Band is Coffee with Cream. Older musicians who Really sound like Cream. Nice try guys but no cigar. Sorry.

Very rarely will another or group sound as good as the original...

This is not the grassroots . No one here I want to see No Dennis or Rob😢

Miss you Bro 😎 Thank you for always stopping by local radio stations while on tour. Thanks for describing your life through your memorable 🎵 tunes. I know you’re Rockin’ Heaven right now. ROCK ON

You “it’s a cover band” folks need to understand that the current lineup keeps the music going. They weren’t there in the 60s, but they each replaced an original member over time. It’s still The Grass Roots.

One of my great Rock Concert regrets was not seeing Mr Mahoney.....he never came to "my neck of the woods"..

I miss Eddie !

Overused term...tribute band.

Always loved this song.

unable to get a descent footage ?

Too Bad they didn't turn her mic on so we could at least Slightly Hear her voice to make any judgement of... I just watched another thumbnail of her and her brothers band playing in a club = Dressed all in black and HER BODY 36-22-36 and Absolutely SMOKIN HOT !

She sure packed a few pounds on!

Thank you Julie for the video. Much appreciated 😊

That felt good🎯

Bloody awesome voice love it. Come to New Zealand 😅

She is hottttt!!

Woow 👏👏👏👏👏👏 fenomenal 👍

Finally got to see them here in Douglasville GA and they set it off. We only got half the set because they had to share their show with a two other performers. They still was everything. I never got to see MJ so this was a treat for me. Can't wait to see them again!

I want to hear Cream songs.

Is this Julie that took video at the Wantagh Library show?

Freddie is proud of you. Freddie lives again during your shows ❤

Tough to sing like Jack Bruce, and they don't.

Still that sexy voice back in the day❤❤❤

Rock on Nelson Brothers. You Rock. Thank You for Ghe Story Line

I hate when new people take over like lou grahm said young people think they are the originals

God Bless you Eddie. Thanks for leaving us with an incredible catalog of music

Simply the Best! 💙

These guys are just spot on. Wow.

Naff modern tones and instruments. That bass rig is so far from what jack would have used and the tone is all wrong. Same with the guitar, this cash grab aint doing it for me.

I never ever tire of that song or Eliot!!

The ending of Billie Jean every1 knew their que

Sorry bad sing

Its pretty basic stuff...

Fucking embarrassed. The PRS, that terrible fashion sense. Dining out on you parents legacy. Its all so wrong. Just don't.

These guys are so cool! Love their calm laid back demeanor. Such pure talent.
