With his soaring — at times almost operatic vocals — at the fore, the vintage military uniform-clad group scored a slew of hit singles between 1967 and 1969, including “Woman, Woman,” “Young Girl,” “Lady Willpower,” “Over You” and “This Girl Is A Woman Now.”
“In 1968, we sold more singles — not albums — than the Beatles. We sold more singles than anyone, so that’s a little badge of honor,” said Puckett, now 82, speaking from his Florida home in the coastal city of Clearwater.
Those hit singles will be featured when Puckett performs as part of the 2025 Happy Together Tour. The lineup also features Little Anthony and the current iterations of the Turtles, the Cowsills, Jay and the Americans, and the Vogues. While his appearance is billed as Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, he acknowledged that he will be accompanied by the same four-man house band that backs all the Happy Together Tour acts.

Arriving on stage, Stevie was dressed in a white tunic with stitched portraits of John and Marvin on either side.
Tapping one side, Stevie told fans, 'This is Marvin Gaye,' but quickly realised he was showcasing John's face.
He corrected himself and playfully added: 'I'm sorry y'all I'm blind,' which had the large crowd laughing.
