Back in the late 70's, I was working for an oil well exploration contractor out of Galveston. I was on a crew boat and the guy next to me said something like, "That Dude driving the boat looks familiar". I said, "Like some you worked with in the past?" He said "No.....wait... then tapped the guy on the shoulder and said, "Hey, aren't you Sam from Sam The Sham and the Pharaoh's?" The guy turned to him and nodded, but said, "Yea, but keep it to yourself, I don't want to make a big deal out of it". That was it, he seemed like he was a good guy, we chatted about work and the weather and driving boats and oil wells, but that was it. Then I never saw him again after that.

Man, I love hearing these guys playing live. Always been a HUGE Sam The Sham fan- bought all his albums as a kid- replaced most of 'em due to wear n tear. Got the CD box set with lots of rare singles that never made it to albums. I wish they'd release a full concert CD / LP from any live show they might have recorded between '65 and '68 or so. The solo album he released on Atlantic: SAM: Hard and Heavy, featured Duane Allman playing slide on Sam's version of "Goin' Upstairs " a classic John Lee Hooker tune. Great record if you can find a copy...

On the other hand, " car clubs" were a large part of southern California's car culture of the 1950s and 60s so it's also possible there was a car club with that name as well though if so, it wouldn't be related to Sam and his band.

So a quick search and I found most of their songs for a real blast back to the past, but the Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs topic channel has no comments for some reason. Who would comment negatively on these? Most simply want to add how much they enjoy hearing these sounds again or remembering where they were or how old they were when these were on the radio. But this one, a live performance, this is definitely in the cool side of things.

I saw this band entered in a battle of the bands competition for a record contract back in the 60s in a place called West view Park. It was an amusement park about 20 minutes north of Pittsburgh pa that had been there for decades. They had an inside wooden dance land that the Rolling Stones actually played in before they were known in the usa.. there was also an outside amphitheater. I was there very often. this band, Sam the Sham won the Battle of the bands competition that was advertised on the radio and it was a semi big deal. They brought a big crowd back in the 60s. I was in garage bands at the time in high school.., it was so obvious that there was another band, The children of stone that was so much better. They were like the Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin. but they didn’t win even though they were by far the crowd favorite. The crowd was so upset, that they started spitting on the 3 older judges and throwing things at them sitting there in their suits .. i was surprised that the judges got out of there without getting beat up. It really was almost a riot .. The other man had everything, so tight, the sound, their appearance, they had stage presence, and the music was good …one of the songs they played was the animals, don’t Bring me down.. it sounded better than the animals version. It was on the radio at the time all over the world. .. Meanwhile, Sam, the sham Standing there with his turban on, and a red coat, like in the video that you would see the doorman at a casino in Las Vegas wearing was playing Lala lolly pop songs like Herman’s Hermits. bubblegum music ..They were polished and wore the matching clothes. it was obvious that the fix was in.. they needed to get out there and get exposure, and have a history of winning battles of the bands for their résumé.. Those three judges look like CEOs of the record company that was backing sam and his band in a public relation’s exposure farce.. I don’t have anything against Sam, the sham and his band for trying to get ahead, but the other band was so much better, and everybody there knew it..

I bought that record and couldn't stop playing it. My family got tired of me playing it so much.

Indeed--I was quite refreshingly and pleasantly surprised to see that they're actually playing live, as opposed to miming/lipsyncing to playback of their studio recording of it (which IMO is such a tacky practice--the Ed Sullivan Show was blatantly guilty of such fakey practices back then, kudos to Mike Douglas here for keeping it real on his show).

@@newerafrican Agreed, I saw many of those acts on Sullivan, and it's fairly easy to tell when they're lip syncing- many didn't take it seriously and they barely went through the motions- and of course no amps and guitars without cords were a dead giveaway.

I love this song! Gotta love that sax too!
yes ,you are right, Domingo Samudio who plays the organ right here ,he is Mexican American, from mexican descent, like Ritchie Valens who sings" La bamba ", and Rudy Martinez ,who sings "96 tears " from the band Question mark and The Mysterians, and Danny Flores who plays the sax on " Tequila" with The Champs, and Carlos Santana who plays the guitar with Santana Band...Chicano rock...

That sax! That Sam! That everybody! That everything! I grew up with this song in the time of the 1960s. I found the video on youtube of them all dressed up in Pharoah clothes. SO so wonderful. I have been reading about Sam. It's SO interesting. I am so thrilled these great talents can be being honored in 2023! Sam the Sham is lit from within. That Sax is lit from without - on fire! Singer keyboardist Domingo "Sam" Samudio is his name. Wikipedia says he's of Mexican-American Basque Apache decent. SO interesting.
This is the first time I've ever seen a live version of "Wooly Bully". They did a really great job playing it.
Love this version! It's so Raw,,, especially the dude on the sax.🎷
It's great hearing the original version live not lip synched. We were blessed to grow up in the Rock 'n Roll era.
Summer of '65. Heard this song 1,000,000,000,000,000 times at the city pool. Everyone love it!! Good times! Really kicked up the energy level on those hot summer days.
Growing up was always fun when the records were being played @ our house. This was a SONG that my Parents Loved to dance to. This was their song for sure. "WOOLY BULLY"
I absolutely love seeing this, I can remember the day rock and roll took over my life. I was at a wedding and they were playing Wooly Bully on the jukebox and I could feel the devil jump right into me LOL
Sam the Sham, AND Mike Douglas! 🤩🤩🤩 You could tell he was a genuinely good person. He interviewed everyone with true respect.
This was a 60's song like, "Louie, Louie", with some- what undecipherable lyrics, that made it all the more palpable in the hidden meaning genre. Rock on with your "bad turban selves".
It's rare to see a live band performance from an era in which it would have been more convenient to lip-sync. Very good!
One of the great songs from summer of 1965..
Takes me back to Montebello hs in 1966. Wooley Bulley for ever.
Loved this song as a kid. Sam also had a hit with Little Red Riding Hood another gem.
Those where the good Days!
DAMN IS HE GOOD 👍😄 SAM THE SHAM GREAT TUNES 👍 PICTURE THIS YOU DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD GETTING INTO IT WITH THIS MUSIC YOU'LL TURN THE RADIO UP AND SMILE IT WILL TAKE THE STRESS AWAY FROM YOU AFTER WORK 😄😄👍

Man, I love hearing these guys playing live. Always been a HUGE Sam The Sham fan- bought all his albums as a kid- replaced most of 'em due to wear n tear. Got the CD box set with lots of rare singles that never made it to albums. I wish they'd release a full concert CD / LP from any live show they might have recorded between '65 and '68 or so. The solo album he released on Atlantic: SAM: Hard and Heavy, featured Duane Allman playing slide on Sam's version of "Goin' Upstairs " a classic John Lee Hooker tune. Great record if you can find a copy...

@@ghengiscant538 honestly, I don't believe there's a connection, though if there is it'd be the script writers from the movie borrowing the name from Sam The Sham, as he and the Pharoahs predated the American Graffiti movie by at least 10 years. On the other hand, " car clubs" were a large part of southern California's car culture of the 1950s and 60s so it's also possible there was a car club with that name as well though if so, it wouldn't be related to Sam and his band. Hope that helps...

I remember this song when I was 10 years old.This was a different sound than the British invasion or the other popular music at the time.

who gives a shit where he came from that is just one brilliant rocking tune
I ran across an old broadcast of KXOK 630 from the '60s with Johnny Rabbitt and in it was "How Do You Catch a Girl" by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs. So a quick search and I found most of their songs for a real blast back to the past, but the Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs topic channel has no comments for some reason. Who would comment negatively on these? Most simply want to add how much they enjoy hearing these sounds again or remembering where they were or how old they were when these were on the radio. But this one, a live performance, this is definitely in the cool side of things.
My mother owned a nightclub in Birmingham, Al. in the mid 1960's. If you flip this 45rpm that song is "The Pussycat A-Go-Go". That was my mom's club. One of the first integrated clubs in Birmingham and Sam the Sham launched this song there.
Anyone who posts a live performance from Sam in his prime deserves a subscription!
Sam sounds great here. A perfect novelty record. Light-hearted and fun.

I sure loved singing and dancing to this in my teens. I thought this was socool...still doo cuz it's totally original! ((1970's for my teen years!!) Yeah....here it comes!!
I saw this band entered in a battle of the bands competition for a record contract back in the 60s in a place called West view Park. It was an amusement park about 20 minutes north of Pittsburgh pa that had been there for decades. They had an inside wooden dance land that the Rolling Stones actually played in before they were known in the usa.. there was also an outside amphitheater. I was there very often. this band, Sam the Sham won the Battle of the bands competition that was advertised on the radio and it was a semi big deal. They brought a big crowd back in the 60s. I was in garage bands at the time in high school.., it was so obvious that there was another band, The children of stone that was so much better. They were like the Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin. but they didn’t win even though they were by far the crowd favorite. The crowd was so upset, that they started spitting on the 3 older judges and throwing things at them sitting there in their suits .. i was surprised that the judges got out of there without getting beat up. It really was almost a riot .. The other man had everything, so tight, the sound, their appearance, they had stage presence, and the music was good …one of the songs they played was the animals, don’t Bring me down.. it sounded better than the animals version. It was on the radio at the time all over the world. .. Meanwhile, Sam, the sham Standing there with his turban on, and a red coat, like in the video that you would see the doorman at a casino in Las Vegas wearing was playing Lala lolly pop songs like Herman’s Hermits. bubblegum music ..They were polished and wore the matching clothes. it was obvious that the fix was in.. they needed to get out there and get exposure, and have a history of winning battles of the bands for their résumé.. Those three judges look like CEOs of the record company that was backing sam and his band in a public relation’s exposure farce.. I don’t have anything against Sam, the sham and his band for trying to get ahead, but the other band was so much better, and everybody there knew it..
That was excellent
