This song is 24 crt gold - not to be dismissed or given away lightly - the weight of this song is to be only dedicated & saved to that special person that you love & to be played/seranaded years later into your relationship & carrying that same romantic sentiment - to millions of couples throughout the world this has been "their song" 🎶🤩👍
From back when groups would meet on streets and street corners and practice singing. Everything from choreography, to background vocals were practiced over and over, then they would try to get their acts into clubs, hoping to be discovered by an agent. Many of the groups of the 50's and 69's got their start this way.
You have to get the actual audio, sounds perfect. This is a performance on a television program from back then that's why it's difficult. Hand's down one of the greatest songs ever. One of my top ten also💯🔥🔥🔥
Will you listen to Little Anthony and the Imperials, “Hurt So Bad” , ….and “I think I’m going out of my head.” My parents loved Little Anthony and the Imperials, they are Genius!❤️
Iconic! most romantic smooth song ever! I appreciated it even at a very young age before I was even 13 years old I would have the radio on and swaying in my room alone pretending to be in love.
Great to see you're reacting to some real oldies! You should also react to Nat King Cole. Known as the man with a Voice Like Velvet. Suggest...Unforgettable, When I Fall In Love, and The Very Thought Of You. They were recorded back in the early 50's. Appreciate your willingness to explore these early songs and artists.
This one of my top favorite slow song of all. It's always has that feeling of being out at the drive in theater, at a house party in the basement and even out in the car 🚗 out crusing with the one you love ❤. Great reaction indeed✊🏾👍🏾
Twon; want to know how I got into Doo-Wop? I was about 12 and saw the classic movie “American Graffiti”; a classic from the 70’s, set in the early 60’s, great movie, but the entire movie has music playing in every single scene, and each song is better than the rest; this song was in it. I Highly recommend that you watch it; the music, the cars, the clothes and the stories; PERFECT ❤️❤️❤️💎💎💎💎
Maybe shoulda opted for the studio version on this one, although chances are, given the campfire in the snow get up, they were lip synching to it. That piano and that guitar with the slight reverb and the shbop shbops give this song a mystery feeling to this day. Try listening to this one at night sitting on the porch or spending time with a significant other. The Flamingos added those parts. Frank Sinatra recorded this song a decade earlier and even then the song was written a decade before that. The guy introducing the song was Dick Clark, host of American Bandstand, who still lends his name to the New Year's Eve show on ABC, iirc. So you could say he was the Ryan Seacrest of the 50's and 60's and 70's and 80's, but he came across much much cooler.
There are lots of good doo wop ballads that you could do. The Platters were the kings of that, and a couple of good ones by them are "The Great Pretender" and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes", the latter, like this song, being a remake of an old classic song. Another good one is "In the Still of the Nite" by The Five Satins.
At first I thought was a modern spoof. I thought it was great. When I found out it was a 1959 song, my jaw hit the ground! Beautiful lyrics, mood and sound.
Love this song, but Art Garfunkel makes it really special ❤️ You must do some Little Anthony and the Imperials, " hurt so bad " and " going out of my head " really beautiful old songs and the voices and harmonies are top notch ❤️
I was 9 years old in 1959 when this song came out. I loved it... still do. The music of that time and the following years was amazing. I hope young folks don't get distracted by the sound quality for Heaven's sake! PLUS having a black group perform on American Bandstand was a BIG DEAL for us! I hate the antics they were made to do... just to fit in and seem "unthreatening".
For future reference when looking up these classic songs look for "remastered" or "HD", maybe even video of someone just spinning the record on their stereo. Sometimes modern technology can clean them up. This song is notoriously muddy.
Wow, even teenagers were dressed sharp back then, sometimes they came directly from school to be on TV, on the American Band Stand. Before videos, things were on firm which did not last as long. I miss people dressing up for work and school.
One of the grestest doo wop songs of all times......The only black group in the 50s bigger than The Flamingos were The Platters....btw.....The host introducing is Dick Ckark and as you hear he says this song is old and is being remade in 1959......i did resesrch and the original version was done in 1934....lol.....so this song is almost 100 yrs old.....doing my research i listened to many versions of this song and hands down The Flamingos are the best and thats not even debateble.....as for the clip i love seeing old school performers doing their hits in their prime but on this occasion i say you should have opted for the audio version because this clip the sound is almost warped.....it kinda distorts the song.....but the vocals are so on point it still shines thru the distortion
Excellent choice!!!! I always thought this song had a “dreamy” feel to it. I have a GREAT ONE for you: “LONELY TEARDROPS” by Jackie Wilson; I’d love to see what you think of it ❤️😊
This is a recording of them singing live back in 1959...I am sure the audio quality might be a little lacking. But still..they are amazing. Try listening to a different video.
How about a new group Savage garden and there are two great songs by them truly madly deeply and I knew I loved you before I met you the lead singer has an awesome voice. Another good one is Elvin Bishop fooled around and fell in Love the lead singer is Mickey Thompson who was also the lead singer for Jefferson starship and he has an awesome voice I am sure you will love them all I haven't steered you wrong I'm still waiting for a journey I'll be all right without you
IMO this is the most romantic song ever. I could listen to tis song on an endless loop.
This song is 24 crt gold - not to be dismissed or given away lightly - the weight of this song is to be only dedicated & saved to that special person that you love & to be played/seranaded years later into your relationship & carrying that same romantic sentiment - to millions of couples throughout the world this has been "their song" 🎶🤩👍
This song was long before my time BUT I absolutely love it !!
One of the best est vocal performances of all time!
You have never really experienced this song until you dance in the dark with the one you love. It will blow your mind!
I believe this is one of the most hauntingly beautiful love songs of all time!!
Beautiful slow jam. Timeless.
I was 13 years old when that song came out. I loved it then and now!!!
From back when groups would meet on streets and street corners and practice singing. Everything from choreography, to background vocals were practiced over and over, then they would try to get their acts into clubs, hoping to be discovered by an agent.

That last verse has me in tears every time, so beautiful 🌸
If this song isn't "a mood" as the kids say, I don't know what is. So atmospheric.
Those “kids” that’s say it are adults now or entering adulthood I believe the new shit is vibe
@@vengeance3544😭
This is my all time favorite song! Thank you thank you! This is for you sweetheart in heaven. Still gives my arms chills and a tear in my eye
Y
🌸❤️
Terry Johnson said God sent him the guitar cords and direction for this version. Most amazing and beautiful group ever. Love love love the flamingos
My favorite song in the whole wide world. Thank you for playing it
Old but timeless GOLD!
I love this song, makes me feel like I am watching a classic romance movie from the 50s or 60s.
This is the kind of amazing music I would stay up all night listening to on my little radio by my bed
You have to get the actual audio, sounds perfect. This is a performance on a television program from back then that's why it's difficult. Hand's down one of the greatest songs ever. One of my top ten also💯🔥🔥🔥
I love your facial expression when the backup singers kicked in.
Such a shame about the audio…the harmonies from these guys were incredible!!
Such a classic…..great choice!! ♥️. Peace
Will you listen to Little Anthony and the Imperials, “Hurt So Bad” , ….and “I think I’m going out of my head.” My parents loved Little Anthony and the Imperials, they are Genius!❤️
Little Anthony was insane. That voice 😱!
Yessss that's a beauty! 🥰🔥 I'd also love to see Twon react to Junior Walter & The Allstars, "Shot Gun" is straight 🔥🔥🔥🥰💖💖💖
Brook Benton, 'A Rainy Night in Georgia'. C'mon now, listen to your elders.
I love that song so much! My God their voices are magical!🎼
This has been my favorite song since I was 7. 🎶🎵♥️♥️
Listen to the studio version in stereo. The fidelity of the 1959 original is there.
Iconic! most romantic smooth song ever! I appreciated it even at a very young age before I was even 13 years old I would have the radio on and swaying in my room alone pretending to be in love.
Timeless classic this is ... love it
This reminds me of the movie "A Bronx Tale" by Robert DeNiro. I love that a lot of the old songs are included in movies.
Yes sir..yes sir...beautiful song..
My favorite song of all time ❤
I have a beautiful daughter! Thank you Flamingos! 😊
Beautiful song 🎶 reaches the soul 🥰❤️❤️😍🥳🙌🎄😘💃🥂

This was a TV Show.

Oldies but goodies 💜✌
The original audio is great - the problem is with the rubbish quality of TV sound back then.

The greatest love song of all time. What we used to call “back seat music” “submarine watching music”. You get it.
1959. Our first dance song, July 27, 2002.....
Sounds amazing on the 7" Roulette press
Quality? Be glad it exists!
Smokey Places by The Corsairs . another great song of the Rock era.
This song will never grow old. Check out their ,'Jump Children '.
Gotta love the old school doo wop
Best slow dancing song of all time.
Lol that boy clownin! Lol subscribed and liked it bro, got me rollin
Beautiful.
I see you appreciate Good Music. man, there's a lot of it to hear. Enjoy🤜🤛😊

Was the first song my husband and I slowed danced to.
I love this song love that old Motown sound 😍
We raced home from school to watch American Bandstand!
Beautiful song. I 1st heard it on twins the movie
Get it on c.d 💿 brother!👌
Such a cold song!!!!
Art Garfunkel raised the bar with this song.
At first I thought was a modern spoof. I thought it was great. When I found out it was a 1959 song, my jaw hit the ground! Beautiful lyrics, mood and sound.
The 1959 version is a remake of a song from the 30s.
@@lesliejohnson1549 Thanks.
One of my favorite old songs.
The video 👍
Oh mercy! Another great one!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love this song, but Art Garfunkel makes it really special ❤️ You must do some Little Anthony and the Imperials, " hurt so bad " and " going out of my head " really beautiful old songs and the voices and harmonies are top notch ❤️
CLASSIC!!! great reaction! Thanks Twon ❤️❤️

Listen to the audio version

Twon, do you know what slow dancing is? This is one of the best slow dancing songs!
I love this song it’s beautiful but haunting too, the chorus is kinda scary and I don’t know why 😂
thank you
hey homie i liked and subscribed much love to you

A lot of these great old songs have been remastered, so keep the faith. There are much clearer versions of this same song.
I could tell what you were talking about with the choppiness of the video but the group sounded really good. Thanks.
If you like trumpets and saxophones listen to "wonderland by night " by bert kaemfert. Plus u need to react to more of the platters.

Excellent choice!!!! I always thought this song had a “dreamy” feel to it. I have a GREAT ONE for you: “LONELY TEARDROPS” by Jackie Wilson; I’d love to see what you think of it ❤️😊
Get the studio cut. It's fantastic.
This is a recording of them singing live back in 1959...I am sure the audio quality might be a little lacking. But still..they are amazing. Try listening to a different video.
Try listening to 'The Very Thought Of You' by Nat 'King' Cole. Absolutely gorgeous love song
Try listening to the song in its original quality stereo. It's on youtube.
How about a new group Savage garden and there are two great songs by them truly madly deeply and I knew I loved you before I met you the lead singer has an awesome voice.

'Yellow' Coldplay.
Well... If this song was "very old" in 1959 already, then how old is it? Does anybody know?
TBH it's muffled audio makes it sound better imo
1959
This is a classic! Glad you're reacting to it.
Great classic!! Audio is terrible. Please listen to the album or studio version
Pleaes America, bring back the du wop groups. Please!!
Patti Austin does a good cover
Find a good audio of this song, dear. I love this song.
Vanessa Williams “Save The Best For Last “ and “Dreamin “
stereo version is much better
