The Music industry was to corrupt and sexist for her morals

I was 13 in 1965, I latched on to that song and never forgot how great We Five were... WE HAD THE BEST MUSIC, 1960S, 1970S!

It's so great that these performances survive because they were the epitome of an era that will never be repeated.

When they turned the CUTE METER on, Beverly went right off the Scale with it ❗❤❤❤🥰😋

My mom's favorite song in 65....made me dance with her when I was 4. I miss those days

Love Bev's voice, the Rickenbacker 12, and Gibson 330 driving this song. Mike Stewart wrote a great arrangement.

One of the best endings of any song from the Sixties or Seventies.

This is one of the rare videos from the 1960's where the singers actually sang. It's very well done.

You know you're good when Fred Astaire introduces you! Someone else here pointed out how Fred hesitated to approach them before the applause stopped - not wanting to take the moment from them. He was always a gentleman.

Cap off to the band for doing this live. An inspiring performance!

Man, it’s 1968 all over again, not going college, got drafted, that got cut short by my Dad dying at the same time, stayed back to help Mom with my younger sister and very young brother...a very sad but wonderful time, all at once. This song and all the other music got me thru it.

A timeless classic. The studio version was recorded at Columbus recorders at The Columbus Tower in SF. The studio was owned by The Kingston Trio. The Kingston Trio's manager, Frank Werber produced We Five. The guitarist with the glasses is (was) John Stewart's (then a member of The Trio) younger brother. He went on to produce many records including Billy Joel's first LP.

I just noticed(after 50+ years) they didn't include the drummer on stage with them, here he's a side man. They must've been a folk group that went rock.

This song came out the same year I graduated from high school and it seemed like you could hear it being played on someone's transistor radio all over the campus. Great song, great memories and it always brings a tear to my eye as I remember the good old days.

I love the way as her singing gets more intense, her dancing gets more intense. And when she dials her singing back, the dancing slows. She's obviously having a blast.

Yep Bev is AWESOME. More song writers should have approached her. Great Talent!!!

Beverly Bivens...one of the great voices, though largely unknown, that I wish would have recorded more. I could listen to her for hours. I love how the intensity in this version builds to a great finish. A perfect recording, and better yet, a perfect live performance.

Wow. Beverly had the most amazing voice. Just powerful and crystal clear.

A rare live TV performance by We Five in the era of lip synch, and they did it so well. A great memory from the summer of '65. RIP Mike Stewart, Jerry Burgan, Bob Jones and Pete Fullerton. Only Bev is still alive today.

I was 10 and always loved this song. Since I was probably listening on my transistor radio, I never knew until now that the lead singer was a female! 😂 Sounded Buddy Holly-esque to me.

This is an old song that is timeless, as it is still good to hear, so many years after it was released.

My college roommate and I wore out two copies of the album with this song on it. I still have copy number 3, and the song is still one of my favorites after all these years. I was happy to find this recording of a live performance.

You can tell Fred Astaire was really impressed with this group. I first heard this song in the 80s when I was a teenager, and I haven't forgotten it.

Just a great group that didn't stay together long enough. Bivens was sensational.

A dazzling live version of this classic 1960's song!

This song sounds as good as it did 55 years ago. For a few minutes I was a kid again.

High props to the We Five here. One of few bands to actually sing and play LIVE on the Hollywood Palace. Bev looks like Linda Ronstadt here, even in hair style. I got to this theatre years later where this was filmed. They had turned it into a dance club. I thought about the great performers who had appeared there, Nancy Wilson and many others. The place has a lot of history. Located just north of Hollywood Blvd at Vine St.

Whether you like them or not, these 60's groups had the chops. No pro-tools or digital editing them days. You had to deliver.

What a damn clever arrangement of a good song to make it great - And the girls voice is certainly the icing

THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is what we were blessed to listen to when we were in our early 20s. It is/was called Folk Music. The plethora of just plain good music sung by wonderful groups who sang and played their music in harmony not in competition, and all of whom were musicians, produced this era of real music. My God, how I miss them.

This was my best friend's favorite song back in '65. We were 12 years old and times were great. Sadly, he was killed a year later. There is not too many days that go by I don't think about him. When I hear this song I can go back 50 years and remember how he went on and on about this song. I do play this video from time to time just to think about my friend and besides its a great song.
