You love your doo wop don't you? Another classic track! I always thought the start of this track was pretty unique.
ReplyDeleteI thought, reading the lyrics, that it was new to me. It isn't, but is not really to my taste either.
ReplyDeleteThank you for proving (yet again) that I am not as musically ignorant as I thought.
It's been too long, i need to go look up some of my old favorites like this.
ReplyDeleteThe Diamonds performed at my high school's senior class all night party after graduation. They explained that they could understand why so many pop records were hits when the seemed so silly--- so (true story) they recorded this song as a put-on, a joke, never expecting it to be the monster hit it was. Funny! Basically they were more like the Four Lads before doing this tune--and later The stroll.
ReplyDeleteOh yes---- I went to see Joan Baez at the Berkeley Community THeater shortly there after and was surprised when SHE did the song, dedicating it to the House Unamerican Activities Committee. Ah, youth!
ReplyDeleteThat was one of my all time favorites. Still of the Night was my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI've not hear this one for in ages....from the good old days! :)
ReplyDeletenice song!
ReplyDeleteYou bring back lots of fun memories with these oldies! Thanks
