About the Song
“Woman, Woman”, a song that takes you back to those heady days of the late 1960s. Back then, the airwaves were filled with soulful ballads, and few voices were smoother than Gary Puckett’s. Leading his band, The Union Gap, they burst onto the scene with this now-classic tune in 1968.
Now, “Woman, Woman” wasn’t your typical teenage love song. This one dealt with something a little deeper, a touch of grown-up emotion. Gary pours his heart out, singing to a woman he fears is slipping away. There’s a vulnerability in his voice, a sense of desperation as he pleads with her, “Woman, woman, what’s come between you and me?” It resonated with listeners of all ages, those young folks just starting out in love, and those seasoned couples who knew the challenges that could come along the way.
The song itself is a masterpiece of pop craftsmanship. The gentle strumming of the acoustic guitar sets the mood, while the backing vocals add a touch of sweetness. But it’s Gary’s voice that truly steals the show. He soars and swoops, conveying both the heartache and the hope that lingers beneath the surface.
Whether you remember dancing to this song at a sock hop, or simply enjoyed it cruising down the highway in your first car, “Woman, Woman” is a timeless classic. It’s a song about love, about loss, and about the yearning to hold onto something precious. So, put on your favorite records, crank up the volume, and let Gary Puckett & The Union Gap take you back to a simpler time.
