Can't You See That She's Mine - The Dave Clark Five

Can't You See That She's Mine - The Dave Clark Five
2:22
The Dave Clark Five Return!, 1964
Written by Dave Clark, Mike Smith, & Ron Ryan

This week is all about 1964!

More British Invasion blues-based rock with honking, buzzy sax work, including a fairly long sax solo.  Seems like it's heavily influenced by "I Saw Here Standing There."  And Wikipedia tells us that one line ("People talk, try to break us up") was taken directly from the Ray Charles song "Sticks And Stones."  Well, it's a pretty common sentiment.  With the backbone of a jaunty organ riff and the throaty, exuberant singing, this is a rattling train of a 60s rock song, very much of its era.
