GARY PUCKETT AND THE UNION GAP, Ritz, Tiffin

From 7:30PM to 9:30PM

In 1968 Gary Puckett and the Union Gap had six consecutive gold albums and sold more records than any other recording act....including the Beatles. They played a command performance at the White House for Prince Charles and Princess Anne by special invitation of the President. They were one of a very select group of touring acts to achieve prominence worldwide. In 1971, Gary disbanded the Union Gap. In 1974 "Young Girl" was reissued by popular request in England where it reached number five and achieved a Silver Record Award for the second time, a full six years after the song was initially released. Gary Puckett and the Union Gap's Greatest Hits is one of CBS's best selling "Collector Series" albums today.
