When love runs high.
And this time, give it to me easy.
And let me try with pleasured hands.
To take you in the sun to (promised lands).
To show you every one. It's the time of
the season for loving.
What's your name? Who's your daddy?
(He rich) Is he rich like me.
Has he taken, any time.
(To show) To show you what you need to live.
Tell it to me slowly (tell me what).
I really want to know. It's the time of
the season for loving.
Actually we're both a bit wrong and right. It may have been a vocal sound but it was done through an old EMT Plate Reverberator according to this article:
"The clap and breath effect that make ‘Time Of The Season’ so distinctive were overdubbed as a result of a eureka moment that Argent experienced while hearing the backing track playback. “That little clap in front of the snare and then the ‘aah’ that comes after it, we rehearsed it without that. We put it down and because we had extra tracks, I said, ‘D’you know what? I can hear this mouth percussion thing.’ So I just zoomed into the studio and did it. That was it. It was just absolutely at the moment, y’know. The EMT plates at Abbey Road were brilliant and that’s what was used on it.”
So maybe a vocal sound overdubbed onto the track as a "mouth percussion" sound, which can be heard either as a splash or a sigh. (?) But Rod Argent doesn't say exactly here if it was a vocal, a splash or china cymbal, a keyboard sound or what initial sound was put through the Plate Reverb to get the "breath effect".
I have a pretty decent audio rig that's very accurate and I'm a drummer, and to me it sounds more like some cymbals I've heard or an e-effect than a vocal sigh when I focus in on it. I think on most stereos in the 1960s though (and a lot of playback systems today) it comes off as a sigh, which was the intended effect.
Excellent! Thanks! Folks like you help make Radio Paradise what it is and have kept me listening for over 20 years.
Great song, still sounds fresh after all these years. 9+
This appeared on a CBS sampler album called "The Rock Machine Turns You On" which provided the soundtrack to the summer of '68 to many of my generation, introducing us to many great artistes (and a couple less so!).
Anyone else remember that record?
Oh yes, remember it well. Still upstairs with all the other vinyls.
The Zombies..St Albans finest 👌
Who's your daddy!!!
Hoosier Daddy
Boones' Farm apple wine in the Bong...
True that (even though I'm at a 9 rating) - still that Album art reeks of the 60s (a good thing) - Long Live RP!!

In fact it is a vocal sigh.

they said when they went into the studio to do this album The Beatles were on there way out after recording Sgt Pepper
the crew told them these crazy things that they had them do like sync two 4-trak recorders together to have 8-trak
they said "oh really now? hmmm"
It's not a vocal sigh, it's a small, trashy sounding splash cymbal or china-type cymbal. But I get what you're saying, yeah today they might do it as some dumb sampled fake sound.

You are absolutely correct, they only know what sells. Genuinely unique musicians like Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin would never be produced on major labels, today. They would be just 2 more indies trying to sell their records. Today we live in a cultural low point (e.g., the presidential election).
I'm pretty sure it's Blunstone singing the lead, though I think Rod Argent wrote the tune.

Sorry, after my time.

You can reach out.
You've a long spoon,
Who's your daddy?
Far out man!
Who's your daddy?
The songs have different chord progressions, but it does sound very similar in some spots. Both songs have that minor-key groove going on.
Who's your daddy?
No, there is also Brains!...More Brains! with George A. Romero sitting in on drums.
And that comment is a jewel!

Some days spent in orbit of shining RP are like decades of toiling and spinning on oft-blighted Earth...and I don't have to go far from my speakers, nor cope with much grief to winnow the joy — it's pretty much ready to put in the pipe and smoke! — so decidedly user-friendly!
right on! still arrests my attention, and the whispering repeats are so wow man
Not necessarily, but I guess it could help.
Yes you did......
Wonderful cover!
Post-mortem and post-modern...
PS
By the way: Why no Mamas? Why no Papas?
Incredible cover-design!

Hey...Ray Manzarek of the Doors...take a hint...a keyboard solo doesn't have to be 18 minutes long. This tune is good moderation...take note. Love the Zombies.
I think you're advice is just a wee bit late. Great song.

I have a CD by Brent Bourgeois, and he does an excellent cover of this song, complete with a huge thunderboomer. It's really good. If I can ever find it, I'll try to get it here for review and playage, although I don't seem to be having much success in that area yet.
ahhh ........ yes, just baking in the nowhere rays, here in wet Alaska, remembering younger days...oh shit, I am an older geezerette.........
Now I ask you, don't they look like Zombies?
In this time, give it to me easy
And let me try
With pleasured hands
To take you and the sun to
Promised lands

Well, I was in the back seat with an older woman of 16 and happily there were no parents around , but the opportunity for real passion was tempered by the presence in the front seat of an older pal and my date's best friend. That memory elevates this fine song to Radio Nostalgia paradise.
I learned to drive at 14. In my aunt's car in rural SC. But that was long ago. And I was not lucky enough to park at 14.
I was perusing the comments. 99% of the comments were favorable, some were even stellar (coloradojohn).
But there's always gotta be one "Debbie Downer" in the mix, right? This guy reminds me of a dude I knew from New Jersey who went to Woodstock. The Woodstock. He had pictures.
And his only stories were about the traffic getting there, the crowds at the sh*tters, the mud, and the drug use.
I guess that proves the point: there's gonna be somebody bitching in Heaven.

Who you daddy?
You, Sir, are a Master Wordsmith! I sit at your feet.
Lucky bastard...
*Of course I just had this horrible image of the two of you "parked" in the back seat, with a parent at the wheel.
