This was just another catchy song in an andless stream of catchy songs. Forty years later, it's easy to see what a great time it was to be a fan of pop music. (I like this one a lot, and "She's Just My Style" is even groovier.) On the Season Two DVD of "hullabaloo," there's an episode co-hosted by Gary and Jerry Lewis. They actually sing a duet of "Help!," and Jerry sings a really awful ballad called "I'll See Your Light" that never made either the Hot 100 or even Bubbling Under the Charts. During "Help!," Gary has a very clear "I really mean this song title" expression, poor guy.wwolfenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-12235948969855181542009-04-30T03:10:00.000-07:002009-04-30T03:10:00.000-07:00I saw Gary Lewis and the Playboys once!

Totally coincidentally, I hadn't really listened to their music at all except in the context of Oldies radio; this must have been in 1992 or so, they were playing at a county fair in upstate NY and way, way past their prime.The Modesto Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495938191100565263noreply@blogger.com
