The initial hit for Gary Puckett and the Union Gap. Gary grew up in Yakima, WA (next to the town of Union Gap, oddly enough) and moved to San Diego where he assembled the Outcasts, an R&B flavored band. They signed with Columbia Records where they were directed to mellow their sound, change the name and wear Civil War-era heavy woolen Union soldier uniforms on stage. Sheesh.
