The Outsiders - Time Won't Let Me free for downloading

The sixties were the best times ever in the US.

Self quarantined because of that damn coronavirus. So watching and listening to great music from my childhood.

Yes Zoie. We were almost constantly on tour in 1966 aspecially. My favorit tour was the six week Gene Pitney tour. It streches over 34 states that was mostly on an old grayhound buss. But we were also on our own tours, cause we had to make some PR. For our records.

As a member of a 60's garage band we wore out a 45 RPM record and learned this song note for note and chord for chord to play dances....that bass part was AWESOME and still is!

But the guys in the studio when we recorded this tune was: Tom King, Sonny Geraci, me - Mert Madsen. On lead guitar: Al Austin, and the drummer was: Ron Harkai. The last two did not continue in The Outsiders. - Al Austin whanted to remain playing in Cleveland, And Ron Harkai had a date with Uncle Sam. Al Austin died in a caraccident on the way to a sit inn gig only 19 years old. Ron moved to Michigan And I have still contact with him. --- and I am almost weekly in contact with Bill Bruno that moved to SanDiego sout California and with Rick Biagiola that lives not to fare south of Cleveland Airport. ---- He formed a new group Caled : The Outsiders, because he bought the name free since the founder Tom King Past away a feew years ago. Sonny Geraci also has past away. May you both Rest in Peace. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The high trumpet was plaied by : Even Wanguard ! Sonnys cousin I beleave !

Well Alan, life has not been a danse on roses, but being on the worlds largest lable Capitol has ofcause had its good and bad times, they expected a lot of uss, more then we could deliver obviusly. they called us a one hit group a flach in the pan. And we had also Americas largest booking agensyWilliam Moris. --- we were constantly on the road, and made a lot of money for our manegers mostly. Yes wgen I quit the group , I whent home to Denmark, with a broken heart and a lost marege. But I bounsed back an have plaied on my accordions ever since I came home in 1970 So April 9th. Ihave plaied music 76 years of my 80 year life.

...amd we just believed this would go on forever; if only we had known... Thank God for YT.

I don't always listen to the Outsiders, but when I do, so do the neighbors.

We did not travel witht the horns. Only two guitars bass and drums. - this TV film was a lipsink, the TV studios had a terible sound in those days

Even thou its 55 years since we made this tune, we still get great responce from many places in the US. And that allone is enough for me to be quite humble and thankfull. With out you fans we are nothing so your wery nice responce is deeply apriciated.

Who all is still listening 2020. This music will ALWAYS BE A SMASH

Thanks for all the positive Comments Even thou its 55 years ago This tune is still being plaied around the world.- And I feal both humble and Proud that I was a part of this Tune + 25 more tunes we recorded in 1966 --- Thanks again you wonderfull people without you fans it would not have been posible

The members inThe Outsiders were: Tom King , rhytem guitar, The Leader of the group. --- Sonny Geraci - Lead singer. Bill Bruno on Lead guitar, - Rick Biagiola drummer, but on this Hollobaloo Show it was my good old freind Jim Fox, playing drums, ( later The James Gang ) And Mert Madsen --- as my stage name was those years.I am from Denmark. --- My full name is Merdin Gunnar Printz Madsen, --- Mert was short for Merdin.

We never travled with horns onthe road. And yes it was a lipsink, being that the TV studioes had a terible sound those days.

I Am Mert Madsen, the Bass player on that song. Yes its me on the left with the Big hair. Would you beleve I am turning 80 in april . Time Wont let me was recorded at Cleveland Recording studios. In 1965.the rest is history.

Jim Fox is really concentrating on his drumming. In a couple years he put together a trio and give it its name -- The James Gang.
