Free Music Notes for Gary Puckett & the Union Gap - Greatest HitsFree Music Review: The 70's style love ballads began with Gary Puckett
Gary Puckett and the Union Gap weren't the hippest group, they didn't rise to the level of "supergroup", and they had only six hits. But what they did have was massive talent: Puckett's powerhouse, deep throated, smooth vocals; serious songs with well written lyrics; and some of the most sophisticated arrangements to come out of the 60's. They were at the cutting edge of the music that was yet to come in the 70's: that middle of the road, high quality, endless string of love ballad after love ballad. The texture of Puckett's voice always took you on an emotional ride into your lovelorn dreams and desires. "Woman, Woman" from the first to the last note doesn't let you escape this young man's cry'n, break'n heart. And GPUG didn't stop with this their first smash hit. Hot on its heals was "Young Girl" (I remember my mother and aunt talking about how provocative the lyrics were, pretty tame by today's standards) and their third smash hit "Lady Willpower" (As a young boy, I did wonder why all his songs were always bleeding with such bad luck about some woman he was either being rejected by or he was pushing them away with one hand while holding onto them for dear life with the other). Two other songs on this cd which I thought quite good were "This Girl Is A Woman Now" and "Over You" (my other big favorite after "Woman, Woman"). All in all, six songs on this cd are classics, including "Don't Give In To Him" but the rest of it is, well, not greatest hits material, to be kind. But so what, the hits make this swooner's voice worth the price of the cd. The songs instantly bring me back to the late sixties; but they sound as good today as they did thirty-some years ago, and that says a lot when you think of all the hits that sounded great thirty-some years ago, and are unlistenable today.
