Millions of American boys formed bands after seeing The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964. One of them was Gary Lewis, son of superstar comedian-filmmaker Jerry Lewis, who watched from his Newark home. A year later, with no help whatsoever from his father (but a lot from his mother), his band, Gary Lewis & The Playboys, hit #1 with an Al Kooper song, “This Diamond Ring,” produced by Snuff Garrett [1938-2015]. Now  80, Gary Lewis is still a Playboy. His band is touring as part of the “My Generation” tour with new iterations of Lovin’ Spoonful and The Hollies.
