I posted about The Beau Brummels last week with the song Laugh Laugh. The biggest surprise to me about this song is who produced it. Sylvester Stewart…later of Sly and the Family Stone.
The song was written by guitarist Ron Elliott and Bob Durand. They had 5 songs in the top 100. Just a Little peaked at #8 in the Billboard 100 in 1965.
I mentioned in the last post about them but The Beau Brummels appeared in the Flintstones (as the animated version of themselves, the Beau Brummelstones). This time I found it…
Just A Little
Ah ah ah ah
I can’t stay, yes I know
You know I hate to go
But goodbye, love was sweet
Our worlds can never meet
[Chorus:]
So I’ll cry just a little ’cause I love you so
And I’ll die just a little ’cause I have to go
Away
Can’t you see how I feel
When I say love’s unreal
But goodbye, it’s been sweet
Even though incomplete
[Chorus]
[Instrumental break]
Every night I still hear
All your sighs very clear
Now love’s gone, gone away
As I once heard you say
[Chorus 2:]
Now I’ve cried just a little ’cause I loved you so
And I’ve died just a little ’cause I had to go
Away
[Instrumental break]
[Coda]
I never really listened to The Beau Brummels, but they have a real nice sound.

They did…I didn’t know how big they were…to be on the Flintstones really did mean something. They had to be really well known.

So very cool you found the clip with them on The Flintstones. They look an awful lot like The Beatles on there. And “Just a Little” is another fondly remembered tune. Good stuff, Max 🙂

Thank you! I read where they wanted the Beatles but they said no… they were quite busy plus had their own cartoon…
