"Easier Said Than Done" is a popular song sung by The Essex that was a number-one song in the United States during 1963. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart on July 6, 1963, and remained there for two weeks. The song was written by William Linton and Larry Huff.
The Essex were active-duty members of the United States Marine Corps at the time, as was Linton, who wrote the song at the request of Essex member Walter Vickers. The song's rhythm was inspired by the sound of the Teletype machines in the communications office of their Marine post. The group was not thrilled with the song, but recorded it for use as the B-side of their debut single, "Are You Going My Way". The recording was unusually short, and editing was used to repeat part of the recording; even so, the song was only a little over two minutes. The single was released in May 1963, but "Easier Said Than Done" quickly emerged as the more popular side. The song became a major hit with broad appeal, reaching number one on both the pop and rhythm and blues charts. The song became the title track of the group's first album, which reached number 113 on the Billboard album chart, becoming their only charting album.
Bohemia After Dark is an album by jazz drummer Kenny Clarke, featuring the earliest recordings by Cannonball Adderley and Nat Adderley, produced for the Savoy label. The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "Although drummer Kenny Clarke is the nominal leader and the other sidemen include trumpeter Donald Byrd, Jerome Richardson on tenor and flute, pianist Horace Silver and bassist Paul Chambers, the impressive performance by the young Adderleys makes this a historic session that has often been reissued under Cannonball's name".

A #1 pop hit from from 1963. I saw Brian Eno give a lecture at UC Berkeley in the 80's and he played this as an example of a favorite record.

Naked and Afraid S04E11 Easier said than done proper
Naked And Afraid Season 4 Episode 11 Easier Said Than Done Proper
My friends all tell me
Go to him, run to him
Say sweet lovely things to him
And tell him - he's the one
Deep in my heart I know it
But it's so hard to show it
'Cause it's easier - easier said than done
My buddies tell me
Fly to him, sigh to him
Tell him I would die for him
And tell him - he's the one
Although he gives me a feeling
That sets my heart a-reeling
Yet it's easier - easier said than done
Well, I know (I know) that I love him so
But I'm afraid that he'll never know
Because I (I-I) I get so timid and shy
Each time that I look him in the eye
They all tell me
Sing to him, swing with him
And just do anything for him
And tell him - he's the one
I've got a love so true and
Yet I'm sad and blue
'Cause it's easier - easier said than done
Well I know (I know) I love him so
But I'm afraid that he'll never know
Because I (I-I)I get so timid and shy
Each time that I look him in the eye
They all tell me
Sing to him, swing with him
And just do anything for him
And tell him - he's the one
I've got a love so true and
Yet I'm sad and blue
'Cause it's easier - easier said than done
