As lyrics in another song goes: My home lies deep within you And I've got my own place in your soul Now when I look out through your eyes I'm young again, even though I'm very old

Yes kids, before Kenny Rogers became clean and country-cool, he did his share of both acid and pot...and Terry Williams on guitar with that "I'm high AF" grin...priceless...from 1967!

I was today years old when I learned the drummer is also an actor who appeared on several sitcoms, notably Home Improvement (as one of the construction crew that appeared on Tool Time). I looked up this video after learning that and seeing the closeup of his face was a satisfying confirmation for me.

He was in a LOT of movies, as well. Mostly small parts. Also played drums for Bob Dylan, and for Trini Lopez. He was also in one of the most run TV commercials of all time: he was on a subway car with two old ladies beside him, one of them said something like: "I can't help but notice your breath." He looked down at her with a scowl and said "What about it?" she said something like "It is just so fresh!" then other old lady chimes in with "Yes! I have enjoyed your breath since 34th street!" Then Mickey gets all friendly and says "Why, Thank you!" It was a breath mints commercial.

Fantastic, no disrespect intended towards the passing👍

Even for this early band that Kenny was in - the style of this song was unusual for them - most of their material was in the budding folk-country-rock style of the late 60's - but this one is a real psychedelic, summer of love gem - and fully dude-approved ..

Damb, just thought Kenny was Kenny Rodgers , The Gambler,,,, sang along with Dolly here and there. Didn’t realize that he sang many of my favourite 60 & 70’s iconic songs.

The drummer was Pete in Home Improvement

I love how this parody of psychedelic music created an absolute psych banger. A similar example that comes to mind is that of _Who Put The Bomp_ by Barry Mann, a doo wop parody that absolutely nailed it.

Josh Brolin playing Kenny Rogers in a biopic.

drummer played with dylan in 66

Cool song . I was around then

The Coen brothers must've seen this.

The feeble attempts media back then trying to be be hip and relevant were hilarious. I'm 74. I loved Kenny Rogers early work. I loved the Smothers Bros. Silly video. BTW it was the First Edition credited with recording this song.

Saw them live in Calgary and they were fantastic.

Kenny was so hot, IMHO..until the facelift. He didn't look like himself anymore after that. 🙄 Well, RIP; your voice is missed. 🙏🏻

@roseyc.5846 The last time I saw him- many years ago selling records on one of those long-playing commercials- I honestly had no idea who he was until he said his name. He looked nothing like Kenny Rogers. They might just as well have wall-papered him.

The psychedelic days!! 😵‍💫

far out man!

I like when they get close-ups of the face on these old videos. The first minute of this video actually sucked because the camera was so far away. But it did get better.

Kenny would have been a star if only he had stuck w RnR.

The audience laughed at the aspirin thing but it's actually real and is why you don't give aspirin to babies or toddlers anymore. It's called Reye's syndrome and yes, it can cause lasting brain damage. I'm pretty sure it had just recently been discovered when this show was on the air. I grew up taking baby aspirin!

Wow man! That is groovy bordering on far out! Where did I put my striped pants?

And we thought it was messed up then....

Fabulous lyrics by them what a great song love it!

It was written by a singer/songwriter named Mickey Newbury.

Shows back then didn’t allow the bands to actually set up and use their equipment. It was all pre recorded, except for vocals. If you watch many bands from that time, you’ll see the musicians making a mockery of this. Making it obvious that they’re not actually playing, by not having their instruments plugged in, or just not even strumming while music is playing.,etc

Kenny always looked to cash in on the latest trend.

@southpaw8687 He went country for the career longevity. Once you're in with that crowd, they never forget you.

1967

All of Mike's Vocal Songs had a little Texas Country Twang to them. "The Kind of Girl I Could Love", "Papa Gene's Blues", "Sweet Young Thing", "You Just May Be The One", "Door Into Summer", and "Sunny Girlfriend"

Mickey Newbury wrote that song. It's a classic.

I wish I had that drum skin

I like their live version better than the studio recording played here.

It seems odd seeing Kenny young.

Not live. They weren't trying to look like it was live, any more than a music video on MTV. Lol. I was a little kid back then and even I knew they weren't really singing and playing their instruments
