1. The Gaylords were an American singing trio that had charting success during the 50s. They are perhaps best known for the hit "Tell Me You're Mine".
2. The Gaylords was a Scottish pop band originating from the east end of Glasgow, originally formed in 1961 as The Gaylords, and then later billed as Dean Ford and The Gaylords, recording four singles for Columbia (EMI). In 1966 they changed the band’s name to The Marmalade. The Gaylords (named after the notorious post war Chicago Gaylords street gang) were originally formed by Pat Fairley and Billy Johnston in Baillieston, a suburb east of Glasgow, in 1961. Their initial line-up included Tommy Frew on drums and lead guitarist Pat McGovern, fronted by vocalist Wattie Rodgers. William Junior Campbell joined on his fourteenth birthday on 31 May 1961 replacing McGovern, and Rodgers was then himself replaced, initially by two new lead vocalists, Billy Reid and Tommy Scott, although Reid soon departed leaving Scott as the sole frontman. Bill Irving, from local Baillieston group the Cadillacs, then took over from Johnston on bass.
The group began gathering notice and in 1963 Pat Fairley and Junior Campbell spotted Thomas McAleese, singer with local group The Monarchs, at the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow, and it was not long before he replaced Scott as lead singer. Thomas then adopted the stage moniker Dean Ford, and they then became known as Dean Ford and The Gaylords. Raymond Duffy, from Glasgow group the Escorts, then came in on drums after Frew departed. For a few months, they had an organist, Davey Hunter. By early 1965, Graham Knight, from the local group the Vampires, had displaced Irving on bass.
Becoming popular in Scotland, and under the management of Billy Grainger, in early 1964 they were championed by Scottish music journalist Gordon Reid, which led to them being signed to Columbia (EMI) by Norrie Paramor after auditions at Glasgow's Locarno Ballroom. They went on to record four singles, including a cover of the 1963 Chubby Checker US hit "Twenty Miles", which was a big seller locally but failed to chart nationally. The Columbia releases, although uncredited, were all produced by Bob Barratt, EMI staff producer, with Norrie Paramor as executive. Paramor played the celesta on "What's The Matter With Me"; the b-side of "Twenty Miles". In 1965, they played a long stint in Germany at the Storyville in Cologne and also in Duisburg. By this time The Gaylords had attained status as one of the top groups in Scotland, borne out in music poll results, but were ambitious, and so on their return from Germany to London in early 1965, they decided to try for success in the UK as a whole, and remained in London, where they changed management and agency representation, as Billy Grainger wished to remain in Glasgow.
On the recommendation of the Tremeloes, who had played with them in Glasgow, The Gaylords were invited to join the London-based agency Starlite Artistes, owned and managed by Peter Walsh. They then began to build up a club reputation as a tight, close harmony band and in 1966, finding themselves in the middle of the 1960s swinging London scene, they decided to update their image and instrumentation. On the advice of their new manager, they changed the band name to The Marmalade.
Dean Ford died in January 2019.
3.The Gaylords are a four-piece Scottish alternative rock band from Cumbernauld, previously known as the Celestians.
From the Vine Came the Grape
The Gaylords Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the grape came the wine
From the wine came a dream to a lover
He was back with Marie on the Isle of Capri
With a million stars shining above her
Once again he romanced as the kissed and they danced
And even her wedding bells chimed
From the grape came the wine
And for Tony, a wonderful time
With a song in his heart
He would sip another little glass of wine
With each sip
He would cry
My bella Maria you're mine
Del vino vien l'uva
Dall'uva il vino
Dal vino un sogno d'amore
Io son' sognando con te io ritorno
Maria vicino tuo cuore
Vediamo la vita della mia Maria
Gli occhi piu' belli non ce'
O del vino vien l'uva
Dall'uva il vino
Dal vino un sogno di te
From the vine came the grape
From the grape came the wine
From the wine came a dream to a lover
He was back with Marie on the Isle of Capri
With a million stars shining above her
Once again he romanced as the kissed and they danced
And even her wedding bells chimed
From the vine came the grape
From the grape came the wine
And for Tony a wonderful time
For Tony a wonderful time
The Gaylords's song From the Vine Came the Grape is a ballad that exemplifies a love story that was rekindled by the memories attached to wine. The song starts with a general description of how wine is made, fermented from grapes that grow on vines. Then the song transitions into the story of a man named Tony, who after drinking wine, starts dreaming about his lost love, Marie. In his dream, he goes back to the Isle of Capri, a scenic island in Southern Italy where he romances Marie again, even though she has gotten married, as her "wedding bells chimed." Tony, overwhelmed by his love for Marie, cries every time he sips wine, as he remembers his cherished memories of her.
The song encapsulates the idea that wine has the power to transport us to our happy times and memories that would have been forgotten otherwise. Lastly, the song ends with the chorus, which reiterates the idea that the wine made Tony's day wonderful and full of memories he desperately cherished. Overall, the song is a cheerful tribute to the power of wine and to the idea that we often underestimate the importance of little memories and happy moments.
