| The Union Gap still titillates this ex-Catholic girl! C'mon with the pedophilia. They were voicing what was going on in the late 60s. Wanted to do "it" but would burn in Hell if we did. One of us (usually the guy) was sometimes as old as 20-23 but it didn't matter. He could have been our age. We were maybe 16 or 17. So he was branded and we were just loose/lost girls. The Union Gap voiced RESTRAINT not pedophilia! And now at 62 I am still enthralled by their lyrics and their talent. To tell the truth, their lyrics describe what it was like for me until I turned 25. Then, when most of my friends were married and I was dating guys my own age (most of them divorced), I ended my virginity. Union Gap captured all if it. |

Very, very sporartically, it is nice to some of Gary Pucket and the Union Gap's songs on an oldies station. "Women Women" or "Young Girl" are quite a hoot. Just the idea of a women even THINKING of cheating being an issue, or Gary making valiant efforts not to deflower a young lady are quite funny by today's standards. It is amazing to think that we were that nieve in 1968. (Actually, I was born in '69, but I've read and listened to enough from and about this era to get the idea.)
But this stuff has sappy arangements, and was retrogressive even when it came out. Listen to the gushing strings and lost puppy oboe on "Over You," for instance. It is so mellowdramatic, it is impossible to lend this stuff any credibility.
It is interesting to listen to how, with all hell breaking loose in 1968, Gary tries to bring back a gentler, safer time. Even then, though, his lyrics and lounge ballads must have sounded insanely ridiculus in a world of the MC5, or Wilson Picket for that matter.
If you like a good old top 40 song, or are interested in what the culture was doing as opposed to the counterculture, this is worth a spin. But I doubt this is going to keep you engaged for long.
When I was in high school, we used to call this band Gary Sucksit While The Union Craps. I don't feel this way now, but, close enough |

They Were A Great Live Band!

I will never forget going to see Gary Puckett & The Union Gap at St. Joe's on City Line Avenue in Philadelphia.
It was the very week that the Beatles released Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and the Union Gap performed the whole first side of the Beatles' classic seamlessly without even stopping between tunes! I was amazed.
These guys were better live than on record.
