On Tuesday Sept. 15th,we where talking about old music. I wanted to look up "Theme from A Summer Place" (Released 1959) when I got home. At home, I went to "The Byrds - "I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better", looking for better HQ. I love to read the comments on YouTube. One was about his (Roger McGuinn) Rickenbacker 360/12 (is a semi-hollow body with thru-body neck structure electric guitar made by the Rickenbacker company; it was among the first electric twelve-string guitars.) The "commenter's" channel looked cool, so I went there. They had a list of their "likes". I scrolled down. Nice stuff. Further down, I found "Theme From A Summer Place".  THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR !  What are the odds ???

Compression was the key to the iconic sound. Roger's 12-string, Eric's BEANO Les Paul through a 50 watt Marshall, Jimi thru Marshall stacks were the iconic sounds of the 60s. Nowadays I listen to Twice's Likey on a 24-hour loop. Somehow the visuals of KPop is more appealing to me as an old fart than squealing feedback.

@scifiwriter98

@joseph lemko  Thanks! I take your compliment seriously because in my group of friends back in the 70s, I was the guy who made mix tapes and gave them away. I had a good ear for putting songs together with natural sounding transitions. My favorite job I never got paid for was DJ at my college radio station. My only shift was Sunday nights because I was busy working my way through school, but I had regular listeners who always called in with requests or to ask about a tune I played. In a perfect world, I'd still be doing it, but with pay.
I didn't mention 8 Miles High because that song is on another level. I feel fortunate to have been a teenager at that time because music was just incredible. I always associate 8 Miles High with Shapes of Things because they just blew me away hearing what Jeff Beck and McGuiin were doing with the guitar. The Amboy Dukes. Journey to the Center of Your Mind had a similar effect. After hearing those songs as well as Tomorrow Never Knows, I never listened to music the same. They opened the door to all the possibilities of what a song could be.

Donald Derflinger I lived in LA when this song came out summer '65. It was the follow up to Hey "Mr. Tamborine Man" which reached number one in LA. This song "Feel A Whole Lot Better" was a huge hit and also went to number one in LA.

Sorry, but I'm afraid the Searchers themselves lifted that riff from another legend of the Sunset Strip - Jackie DeShannon.

It featured prominently in 'Needles' and 'When You Walk In The Room' later that year in 1963 - both of which she co-authored.

The Searchers would go on to cover both (on her recommendation) in '64.

An even crazier fun fact ?

@DucksDeLucks

jennifur sun Heard it in person. Sounds better on the record! Concerts in those days weren't so high tech!

@jennifursun3303

+DucksDeLucks probably true ,but still I would have loved to have heard them person check out a video of him visiting Country singer Marty Stuart, who loves guitarists from all genrus

@DucksDeLucks

jennifur sun Will do! Thanks for the suggestion! 

@jennifursun3303

DucksDeLucks welcome

@FriendlyRambler

Such a fantastic song, their best in my humble opinion! :)

@randyelliott9152

i would add my back pages

@segersystem

8 Miles High has to be in the top 2

@alexblock2248

One of many great Byrd's songs

@pat1947100

Certainly near the top and the lack of airplay still astounds me.

@chuckryan6065

Gene Clark was such a great vocalist

@puri6546

Wonderful song, 1965, the year I was born. Great times for music. I love The Byrds, and this is one of my favs from them. There has never been made music as heartful, and powerful, and wonderful, as the music of the 60's and 70's.

@andreacouzens4388

So true!!

@charlesmcgowen7238

Timeless music from a legendary band.

@patearly9492

One of the very best songs ever. Thank you for sharing and God bless everyone from Patrick

@keithphilo6255

I have always loved this song, and The Byrds.

@klausrain111

I remember when the Byrds brought it back home to the USA in '65 or whenever, and this song was right in the middle of it all. Listening now, the Beatlesque harmonies stand out as special. Of course, the whole song was special, so was the band.

@JPTill

Roger McGuinn was playing The Troubador with Gene Clark sitting-in unannounced.
Finding myself next to Clark during a break, I asked if they were going to do this song. He said, "No, this is Roger's gig."

They opened the next set with it. Applause, applause.

@juliancruz1466

Thanks for posting this great gem! Brilliant songwriting from Gene Clark. RIP.

@barbfisher3687

Love this song! Could listen to it all day!

@lynnglidewell7367

A Gene Clark original song given McGuinn's best guitar work during The Byrds. I remember being in 8th grade when this came out. Still sounds fantastic in 2023!

@nov20five

Quite possibly the perfect song!

@robertthacher

When MgGuin's 12 string comes in after 8 bars, it is stunning. This was never a hit but a super song with a great solo!

@ric60100

Has always been my favorite Byrds' song.

@mikebartling7920

A hard driving rock song -a classic. One of the all time best. I remember dancing a long time to this. -A favorite after football games.

@Ledprostate

Magic song brings magic memories. Those were the days

@jennifursun3303

LOVE LOVE the bass on this song and Roger was playing a six string on this one

@raulrenteria4696

@brainsareus

The 60's brother...!

@jcoo76

The Byrds were fresh and optimistic in their music. Ive been a fan ever since I heard their first album.

@lxx5045

Perfection in a song .. The Byrds at their very best !

@katharinemayhugh5251

Love this song since my teens ... Almost 40 now and still sounds just as good and always will... Love the Byrds.

@brainsareus

it's lovely ............sweet, powerful driven music, all in one.

@BonnieRobertsonsg94

I have never been in a real relationship before, and yet here I find a great solution for a break-up. The surprises in life!
It doesn't matter how sad I would be. This song makes me happy.

@edwardharley9

Do not worry about relationships. They are not all they are cracked unto be....

@hungrygarfield

They really aren't, but it's hard not to wonder.

@agustindrovin432

@MrGreen-sk3ws

Just listened to this great song Sept 2024 one of my favorite Byrds tunes. Song written by Eugene Harold Clark, Aka Gene Clark.

@morna45

My brother and I played the hell out of this record. Wore it out.

@Moosefeathers57

Grew up in the best musical era ever. Loved it then, love it today. Hope I can take my play list with me when I move on.

@ShineOnLove100

Love the Byrds...Taking me back to beautiful days....

@richardschaefer4807

'65 was a great year for rock'n roll...This song and Bobby Fuller's "Let Her Dance came out at the same time and coincidentally are my two favorite rock songs! Ahhhh....those were the days!

@Ciclopea2

Beautiful song, RIP Michael Clarke.

@briancollins1296

Don't forget Gene Clark.

@10995

and it is Gene that is singing.

@skywatcher1972

Yes, Gene was lead singer here, but what harmonies they had. I saw them do this in '65; we broke the doors at The Dome in Virginia; what a time. . .

@glennweaver3014

And Gene who wrote this gem.

@brianfrakes7751

Gene Clark, too,who wrote and sang it

@brainsareus

so powerful.........so beautiful

@maxsugar6394

My first record from the Byrds. I still have it in my record cabinet today.
