The Four Seasons had experienced their best year in 1964 after leaving VJ Records in Chicago for the Phillips conglomerate, taking their producer Bob Crewe with them. But in 1965, it appeared that the Second Wave of the British Invasion would capsize them. Each record released that year did worse that its predecessor, and their fortunes looked grim. Then Crewe took a page from Motown, teamed with Sandy Linzer and Denny Randall, composers of the great hits of ‘64, and turned out an upbeat number that rocked the charts. The Jersey boys were back. This was Nick Massi’s last recording with the group.

THE TOP 10 OF 13 NOVEMBER 1965

BUBBLING UP

This song was first released in the late summer of 1965 and slowly moved, market by market, across the country. It was a genuine sleeper. On a snowy day in November 1965 I heard it for the first time on WIBG in Philadelphia and was absolutely blown away by the beauty of the song, the vocal counterpoint, and the general production. It continued its march across the country until the beginning of 1966 when it broke nationally.

I didn’t know then that I was listening to producer Lou Adler and the Wrecking Crew making music history in L.A. That’s P. F. Sloan’s guitar opening up the song, one of the most perfect introductions ever recorded, setting it up perfectly in D minor. This is the simplicity that hides great art. Sloan may be almost forgotten today – I did his songbook a few years ago here at the Canteen – but this was his bid for immortality. Even after 48 years, it’s still my favorite song. That flute solo is haunting!

Gary Lewis had put together a band secretly funded by his mother because she believed the great Jerry Lewis would not support his son’s work. Gary was playing at Disneyland when bandleader Les Brown caught their act and asked producer Snuff Garrett to take them under his wing. Garrett actually lived just down the block but had no idea that Jerry’s boy had another life.

Garrett tried to make Gary a better drummer, having Buddy Rich, no less, tutor him, but Gary’s gifts were limited. So was his voice. Snuff had to over-dub him to be heard. Despite all this, Gary’s band managed to find a number of hits in the 1964-66 period. This was one of their better ones, penned by Garrett, Lewis and the legendary Leon Russell.
