Getting Together: Bobby Sherman and Wes Stern - Sitcoms Online Photo Galleries

Getting Together aired from Septenber 1971 until January 1972 on ABC.

Recording star Bobby Sherman played a young songwriter struggling to make it in the popular music business in this youth oriented comedy. Bobby had the melodies, and his tone-deaf, offbeat friend Lionel ( Wes Stern), wrote the lyrics. Bobby's mod-rock world was not one without responsibilities, however, as he was legal guardian of his freckle-faced 12 year old sister Jennifer ( Susan Neher). The 3 of them, Bobby, Lionel, and Jennifer, lived in an antique shop ( it was cheap-but occasionally the furniture got sold out from under them), while Bobby worked as a recording engineer, and the boys tried to peddle their songs. Rita ( Pat Carroll), was their motherly landlady, and Rudy ( Jack Burns), her policeman boyfriend.

Getting Together would seem to have been a perfect vehicle for Sherman to use in launching new hits, but in fact his real-life recording career went into something of a slump when the series went on the air. He did have one moderately popular disc derived from the program however-titled Jennifer-and an album named after the show.

Getting Together was previewed on a March 1971 telecast of The Partridge Family in which the Partridges introduced Bobby and Lionel to each other.

Bobby Sherman Getting Together Lyrics:

Gettin', gettin' together.
Gettin', gettin' together.
It's in the air, everywhere,
People really startin' to care.

Gettin', gettin' together.
Gettin' it on with a new forever.
Gettin', gettin' together.
Right from the start of it,
I've been a part of it.
Right in the heart of it all.

Gettin', gettin' together.
Gettin', gettin' together.
I can see you and me,
Workin' it out in harmony.

'Cause, gettin', gettin' together.
Only can help make the livin' better.
Gettin', gettin' together.
Life can be so much fun,
Sharin' with everyone.
Come on and get it done now.

Gettin', gettin' together.
Gettin', gettin' together.
Take my hand, make a stand.
We gotta do it fast as we can.

By, gettin', gettin' together.
Ridin' it out through the stormy weather.
Gettin', gettin' together.
There's so much love to give,
There's so much life to live.
I wanna share it with you.

Gettin' together.
(Getting, together.)
Gettin' on with a new forever.
(Getting, together.)
Gettin' together.
(Getting, together.)
Only can help make the livin' better.
(Getting, together.)
[Fade.]
Gettin' together.
(Getting, together.)
Ridin' it out through the stormy weather.
(Getting, together.)
