On this day in 1958 {March 1st} the Chantels performed "Maybe" on the ABC-TV program 'The Dick Clark Saturday Night Beech-Nut Show' Two months earlier on Jan. 20th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; eventually it peaked at #15 & spent 18 weeks on the Top 100 It reached #2 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart Two covered versions charted; The Shangri-Las {#91 in 1965} and The Three Degrees {#29 in 1970} Original member Jackie Landry Jackson passed away on December 23rd, 1997 at age 56
In those days, girls and guys could REALLY sing with great sounds! I do NOT know what rappers ofr hipp hoppers do. Songs like this one in the picture video are super with MEANING! good job uploader! thx for the wonderful memories! Love it all! The Channtels deserve this history!
This is one of the best songs ever preformed! Saw them live last Saturday in Westbury, they were just as wonderful live! If only they still made music likie this!!!!
If I could only rush home one more time to see American Bandstand, see the new acts, listen to the music, watch the dancers(we all knew their names) and learn all the new dances!
Second song this Sunday by the great New York City girl group, the Chantels. This was the biggest hit by the original group. Released in December 1957 it reached # 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and # 2 on the R&B charts in January 1958. Arlene Smith's booming voice is just too great on this song. A stone cold doo-wop classic.
Yup.....elisa412...........I also remember seeing them on American Bandstand !! The very second Arlene started singing this song, it went right to my heart & soul. This has always been one of my very very favorite songs of all time........ Aahhh......early--mid 60s.......GREAT R&B, soul music.
I was eleven when this song came out. It knocked us all flat. I defy anyone to sit alone in a car in the darkness of night and listen to this song without getting goosebumps.
Thanks for the reply; you must be like me 'An Oldie but Goodie'... I'm assuming you were 16 years old {like me} when you got your first driver's license; so that means you were born in 1942, my birthday is Jan. 15th, 1945 {Old but still Rockin' and Rollin'}... Thanks again...
