During the past four decades Tim Bogert has been the bassist for a number of important and influential bands including "Vanilla Fudge", "Cactus", and "Beck, Bogert and Appice". He's also assembled an impressive list of one-off session credits including Bo Diddley and Rod Stewart, among others.

I especially love Tim's 1967 Vanilla Fudge recording, "You Keep Me Hangin' On".  It's an awesome record, and it still sounds great ... 40 years later! 

In fact, I mentioned Vanilla Fudge to my 14-year-old "metal-head" son the other day when he asked me, "Dad, were there any really heavy bands in the sixties?".

Oh ya!
Lyrics: Another day goes by
And still you wonder what happened
You'd give the world for one more try
But you're too shy to ask him
You don't wanna ask him now

I know your heart will pull you through
If he means that much to you - ya

You gotta let him know
(Let him know - know that you love him)
Let him know that you love him
(Let him know - know that you need him)
You gotta let him know
(Let him know - know that you want him now)

What can I say it's up to you
You gotta make up your own mind
Well it's your life it's up to you
Cause you didn't believe me
You still don't believe me

Now you're gonna see it's all comin' true
That's why I'm leavin' it up to you - ya

You gotta let him know
(Let him know - know that you love him)
Let him know that you love him
(Let him know - know that you need him)
You gotta let him know
(Let him know - know that you want him now)

You gotta let him know
(Let him know - know that you love him)
Let him know that you love him
(Let him know - know that you need him)
You gotta let him know
(Let him know - know that you want him now)

The news is out I guess you heard
I shouldn't breathe a single word
The bottom line is nothing's gonna stop you now
You gotta let him know

Chorus
