Tom Doody, a.k.a. Toad, was one of the very best lead singers of any band, anywhere, any time. The harmonizing of the Shames was simply the best. Thank you Cryan Shames for the great memories.9 years ago

I saw them perform at the old Shadowland Ballroom in St Joseph MI at Silver Beach in the 60's. Was a warm summer night along the beach of Lake Michigan, and brings back lots of good memories.....they were loved by SW Michigan and their music was beautiful. Thank you for posting this!10 years ago

The Cryan Shames played at the Senior Prom of my high school In Warsaw In. 1968. It was a really big deal to have a group that top charts to play at it. Two years later the Buckinghams played 1970 the prom. Quite memorable experience.10 years ago

Thanks, 74sodapop, for all of the wonderful music you have posted. By the way the Crying Shames had a hit record with "Sugar And Spice", but my favorite of theirs is "Could Be We're In Love". In WLS 890 territory the Billboard Charts meant little, it was all about the weekly WLS Silver Dollar Survey. Thanks again!11 years ago

Only time I heard their songs in Seattle was when a friend moved there from the Midwest and had their album. I never heard them on the radio.12 years ago

this looks so much like my high school days, the tasty freeze, the inside of the out door threater, the Elco theater downtown, the girls in the video especially the one in front of the yellow sign.....the Cryan Shames was the first professional bank I had ever seen...I guess it was a predecessor of things to come....thanks so much for life coming when it did.....13 years ago

In Denver, on Boss AM Radio, 950 KIMN, this was a top 20 song, & I loved it. These guys--like The Critters--could really, REALLY sing. Great music from an innocent time--I was 20 yrs/. old, & knew I'd always be young, handsome, & invincible. Wolfsky9, almost 65 y/o.13 years ago

I always loved the Jim Fairs lead guitar on this. He inspired me to buy a Gretsch countery gentleman so i would sound like this! I loved this band. First song I ever learned on guitar was their rendition of "Heat Wave" too!13 years ago
