Last night I had a blast meeting rock legend Gary Puckett (right) and his wife Lorrie Haimes (center) here after his concert at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts.  What a delightful couple and very gracious.  It was a thrill and honor to meet them both.

Gary Puckett and rock Legend Davie Jones brought the house down this weekend at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts.

Gary Puckett has been a great source of musical magic for te past four decades.  GARY PUCKETT and the UNION GAP was one of the most successful musical groups of the sixties. Gary's unmistakable signature voice garnered six consecutive gold records and top ten Billboard hits with the following titles:

"YOUNG GIRL"

"WOMAN WOMAN"

"LADY WILLPOWER"

"OVER YOU"

"THIS GIRL IS A WOMAN NOW"

"KEEP THE CUSTOMER SATISFIED"

"DON'T GIVE IN TO HIM"

"HOME"

GARY PUCKETT has performed on more than thirty network television shows and prime time specials during his career, even adding a command performance for the President and Prince Charles at the White House.

The Union Gap disbanded in the seventies. In 1974, "Young Girl" was reissued in England where it received a silver record award for attaining a top five position on the pop charts, several years after its initial release.
