I remember hearing a fragment of this song in one of those LP compilation TV ads. This would have been in the late '70s, and the '60s seemed like they happened an eternity ago...but thanks to Gary Lewis and The Playboys, I could "travel" back to a time where Bruce Marshall claims he spent his childhood.
Gary Lewis and The Playboys- "This Diamond Ring" I remember hearing a fragment of this song in one of those LP compilation TV ads.

He claims...
Thanks Jim! GLATP came along at a time that seemed almost magical and they had a great run of hits. I liked their sound. As a child then, I would save my chore funds and buy 45s and albums and listen for hours. There were so many bands and artists that prospered in the early to mid 60s especially, it seemed as if a new one would debut every week. One thing I found frustrating was that so many did not write their own songs. I mean, as far as creativity and output, perhaps only the Beach Boys even came close to The Beatles.
I've always liked the pop music in that brief window of 1965-66, though I see that "This Diamond Ring" was recorded in November, 1964...overlap, overlap, overlap...always ruining my tidy decade boxes...
Most of my listening recently is of the 1958-63 variety, but I woke up with "This Diamond Ring" on my mind...
"...I love Paris... in the springtime I love Paris ...in the fall I love Paris in the winter ...when it drizzles I love Paris in the summer ...when it sizzles
I love Paris ever-y mo-ment Ev-e-ry moment of the year I love Paris Why, oh, why do I love Paris? Be-cause my love is near
This should have been yesterday's song of the day.
Brian Wilson is said to consider "Be My Baby" as the greatest pop song, but I find Phil Spector's production on "Then He Kissed Me" to be absolutely stunning--the strings (starting at 1:48) are magnificent!
