With six consecutive gold records, Gary Puckett & The Union Gap stormed onto the music scene and made history — outselling even The Beatles in 1968. One of the few artists in the world whose first five singles went gold, Gary Puckett’s powerful vocals and heartfelt ballads defined a generation.
Timeless hits like “Young Girl,” “Woman Woman,” “Lady Willpower,” and “Over You” became instant classics, echoing from radios across America and around the world. “Young Girl” even enjoyed a second chart-topping run in the UK, earning a Silver Record Award years after its original release — a rare feat that speaks to its enduring power.
Gary’s music took him from sold-out stages to the world stage — including a White House command performance for Prince Charles and Princess Anne, and more than 50 television appearances, plus a featured role in a made-for-TV movie. In 2001, PBS honored his legacy with a nationally broadcast special.
As a founding member of the hugely successful “Happy Together” Tour, Gary continues to captivate fans with over 150 live performances a year, drawing standing-room-only crowds across the country. From his chart-topping early singles to his critically acclaimed Christmas album and his European recordings, Gary Puckett’s career is a remarkable blend of longevity, talent, and sheer impact. His “Greatest Hits” album remains one of CBS’s top-selling Collector’s Series releases to this day.
Legendary. Iconic. Unforgettable. Experience the music, the magic, and the voice of a generation — Gary Puckett & The Union Gap.
