Tommy James And The Shondells - Sugar On Sunday video free download

Laura Roberts

1969, I was an Army Brat living in Ft. Campbell and a Red Cross volunteer at the Hospital. Out those gates and on down the road were sit ins and all types of music festivals held to sing out in peace. It was a very strange world then. It's a very strange world now.

Many people think vinyl is better than digital. Not necessarily so: Most CDs of oldies use an inferior stereo mix rather than superior mono, single mix. Its because many music execs automatically assumed "stereo is better than mono". Plus its hard to locate decades-old master tapes of mono mixes of classic songs. Back in the 60s & 70s many sound engineers and producers didn't really know how to mix into stereo, making it sound dull, flat, and annoying. Singles were in mixed mono, then compressed to sound HOT over a car AM radio, which is how most people first heard these great songs. They "jumped" out the radio, and hooked you!. A CD of mono-mixed oldies could easily challenge, if not beat, vinyl.

Slower tempo than the Clique's version. The re-verb sound was typical of TJ and Shondell's music in the late 1960's such as Crimson and Clover. Interesting that it was released as a single in Germany, but not in the U.S.

All Hail, to the Leslie Doppler Cabinet, creatively applied to the vocal refrains in the verses on this song. More typically the found paried with tone wheel Hammond Organs, artists of that era and earlier...well, I must correct myself.. even currently, discriminating artists continue to restore them and lug the beasts around with them on tour. Paul Schaffer wouldnt be caught dead without a pair (for stereo effect I'm told). Nice upload. Also see the Cyrkle's version (produced by James) I

Cool Telefunken turntable--that old German audio equipment was great--My cousin has an old Grundig radio she brought back when she was an Air Force officer stationed in Germany in the late 1950s. Nothing today is as reliable.

I SERVED IN "NAM" DURING 1969-1970. THIS WAS ONE OF THE SONGS THAT GOT ME THROUGH THAT DISASTER THAT CLAIMED THE LIVES OF OUR "BROTHERS" MAY GOD BLESS YOU FELLOW SERVICEMAN( I WAS WITH THE 173RD AIRBORNE AS A "SLICK" PILOT(IF YOU REMEMBER, A SLICK WAS A TRANSPORT HELICPTOR) WHAT WAS YOUR UNIT AND WHAT WAS YOUR JOB. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TELL ME IT'S O.K.

REMINDS ME WHEN I SERVED IN THE 173RD AIRBOURNE IN 1969-1970 IN VIETNAM

Great song....and this old record player is over the top! What great sound...nothing like vinyl on an original record player. The bass, and sound, is far superior to what you get with CDs or MP3s.....how I miss the old days!!!

I got drafted in 1969 and I didn't remember this title. As I listened to it, it started to come back. It's funny how you forget such things like that. I loved the music from that time. I think I will just sit here and listen to this song over and over for a while and make up for all the times that I missed it. I love this group. All of their work was wonderful !!!!!

Holger Piotrowski

I like this music. Maybe someone can upload "Kathleen McArthur" by Tommy James & The Sondells? That would be great!

Bobbie Askren

What's that black thing spinning around in the video? HaHa... Just kidding. The audio is excellent.

I had a 45 of this song but this is not the version I remember. And I can't find the version anywhere. Now I'm sorry I tossed my 45s.

I think the chorus in this song is his best in his repertoire. How it changes tempo towards the end is neat. As for the entire song, I love Sweet Cherry Wine.

@DarkFlamage Even if they slip, it's no big deal since the grooves are protected. I've never seen one slip continuously, but with enough greasy fingerprints, I'm sure it could happen. BTW, these cool turntables were kitted by Voice of Music in Benton Harbor MI, then shipped and assembled in Europe. Telefunken got their own unique style, even though there were common parts underneath.

The pronunciation of "femme" is very off.
