Blessed to have grown up in the 1950s in San Diegp where my dad worked, my mom stayed at home & took care of me and my three brothers. I thank Jesus everyday for what He gave me & my family. Mom was a Den Mother for the Cub Scouts & was in the PTA. Played Little League, Pony League etc. Lived in a canyon which was a great big back yard behind our fence. Played in the street with neighbor kids. And music was still clean, fun and or romantic. No foul disgusting language music until later. Didnt worry about stranger danger. Blessed times!!!
Got to see him in person about 14 years ago at Barrow Civic Theater in Franklin PA and he was kinda crazy cool yet, did sea cruise of course & man he had the whole theater rockin', had him autograph my sea cruise 45, it was great time!
Right up there with the best of the era. Love the tune, the beat, the arrangement and Frankie Ford's great singing. Have always loved it and always will!
R.I.P. Frankie, you were one of my favorites when i first listen to this song on AM radio back in 1960 as a 3yo boy and remember singing with my mom n dad when they were driving one of those early 1950's chevy cars.
So I've just come back home from a drunken night out and at one point we started playing rock and roll. I told my friends, "I will now play you the greatest rock and roll song you have never heard" and afterwards the cool ones agreed with me. This song is probably the most underappreciated rock and roll song of its time.
I love this song!! I have since I was little. It's a lot of fun to sing along with. My dad and I would sing with it in the truck going down road while everyone else was listening to the hits of the 80s, we were rocking this one!
Sure it's s bit kitschy, but I like watching this. I watched American Bandstand faithfully every Saturday for many years, it was a 'must see' for me and my friends!! I love these old songs and I love watching these old Bandstand clips.
What a joke...I used to watch it every afternoon. Forget after school activities or religious instruction...hey, Ameriican Bandstand WAS a religious obligation back then. And Saturday early eve it was the beechnut show from the little theater on Broadway. Anyone remember the appearance by Jerry Lee?
This is the 1st song I ever heard! My mom would play this when we were kids on a White Mickey Mouse phonograph while cleaning the house. Before my dad came home from work.
I was 10 when this came out and I loved it so much!! What brought me here was a Peter Noone concert yesterday, where he did all his hits with Herman's Hermits and also did many covers, this being one of them! Wow, I was that little 10 year old girl again!
I met Frankie Ford in New Orleans 2005.we chatted and drank all night.I was drinking Hand Grenade's.Think the bar was called the Tropical.I bought Sea Cruise in my local record store, Newcastle England.RIP,it was great to have met you..Victor Clarence Parker.UK.
Great oldie, and Mr. Clark was one helluva good host whatever the occasion. As a former dj for several stations, I might be biased, but I think his background in radio is responsible for his glib and quick wit.
They were hi-tech for the time. Some custom built knobs and vacuum tubes. The kind of thing hi-tech equipment tries to replicate. I’m pretty sure this is almost 30 years after one microphone in a room days.
My dad (born in 1940) worked his first job as an usher at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. I get emotional whenever I go there to see a concert nowadays...which isn't often enough since I live out of state. Thanks for your comment, brings up some good memories for me.
Scott Beck U got that right. Todays music most of it u csn't understa d what they r sing m when u can it is about killing or something bad. I brought all my children up on the music of our time not the crap of today.
Old Man Rhythm is-a in my shoes It's no use sittin' here singin' the blues So Gbe my guest, you've got nothin' to lose Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise? Chorus: Whoo-ee, whoo-ee baby Whoo-ee, whoo-ee baby Whoo-ee, whoo-ee baby Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise? Bridge: I Ffeel like jumpin'; baby, won't you join me, Cplease? I Fdon't like beggin', but now I'm on my bended Gknees Verse 2: I gotta keep movin', honey, I ain't lyin' My heart is beatin' rhythm and it's right on time So be my guest, you've got nothin' to lose Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise? [Chorus:] [Bridge:] Verse 3: I gotta keep a-rockin', get my hat off the rack I gotta boogie-woogie like a knife's in my back So be my guest, you've got nothin' to lose Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise? (chorus, then repeat its last line and fade)
What a fantastic energy !!! This song still sounds amazing many years later after it's release. People still love it !! What an explosive Era. IT's amazing that Frankie was right there with his fantastic contributions to the era !! Frankie had a feel like no other artist. This song still sounds great at my live gigs. (pre Covid) .. and it works well on the Cruise Ship gigs as well. My Students love to learn and play this song. If you need it transposed into a different key to make it easier to sing, i can help you with that as well. Gotta Love the Classics. ;-)
OMG I was born in 1959 and grew up in a country with no t.v....but I know this song :)...the power of music and radio eh. Thanks to my Mum and Dad for loving music and dancing and passing that love on . The music 1950s to 1980s were the best!!
I was just 13 years old when this song came out. I just love it. Here we are in 2021 and I still love it. Yea for the 50's my era for music. R I P FRANKIE FORD you will always be in my heart ❤. Such a powerful singer.
YES! I just saw them yesterday and Peter covered several songs, this being one of them. He is a phenomenal entertainer! I went more for the Buckinhgams than HH but was totally blown away by the massively great show he put on!!
Lucky us. Huey Piano Smith didn't want to tour this song so they recorded it with Frankie Ford doing the vocals and most of us I think are happy about that. I suppose except for 27 people at this point.
LOVE this toe-tapper, Frankie's voice and those saxophones!
So lucky to be born in the 50s, best generation for music.
This was the era when Music was Music.? R.I.P. Alan Freed you were right " ROCK N ROLL,? WILL NEVER DIE.?"
Hey hey, my my
When you listen to this treasure, it gets stuck in your head for 6 months!
One of the best feel-good songs of all times
It must have been such a good time to grow up with music like this in the 50s. One of the greatest Rock and Roll songs ever! ❤
You got that right!!
Indeed it was and can still get your body moving, no mattter how old it might be! Personally. I doubt the music back then will never die.
Hehehe, rock n roll
Certainly somewhere in the top three million.
It was
I knew Frankie from New Orleans and he was a great guy to know....RIP Frankie.
Aww. 🙏😔🌌Hey Soo sorry for your loss. So happy you knew this talented fellow!.... I used to sing this song with a A RnB band..

Thank Huey "Piano" Smith
I wholeheartedly agree!

I hope, that this music will never die!!
Don't worry, legendary music like this will never die.
Unlike all of us, rock n roll will never die!
if us oldies have brought our chidren up correctly they will bring theres up correctly and listen to real music
It won't
It will last longer than the city it is from.
Right up there with the best of the era. Love the tune, the beat, the arrangement and Frankie Ford's great singing. Have always loved it and always will!
I saw this on mom's B&W TV when it premiered on AB
Take me back to the 50's just once.
Been there! It was Cool.
Only for the music. The rest of it sucked.
would love to go...

@cornskid haha
Wasn't this Dick Clark's Saturday night show?
What a joke...I used to watch it every afternoon. Forget after school activities or religious instruction...hey, Ameriican Bandstand WAS a religious obligation back then. And Saturday early eve it was the beechnut show from the little theater on Broadway. Anyone remember the appearance by Jerry Lee?
@@nadyarossi5102 Yes.
It was all the way to at least 1980...everyone went home to watch it.
"I GOTA' GET TA ROCKIN' GET MY HAT OFF THE RACK". 50's classic at it's best. You had to be there!
This is the 1st song I ever heard! My mom would play this when we were kids on a White Mickey Mouse phonograph while cleaning the house. Before my dad came home from work.
This song reminds me of the days with spent with you with the evening spent with you we 0

I Had to perform a song from this era for my great grandparents 50th anniversary, when I was like 10 years old. I picked this song
Frankie Ford hasn't changed.. Still Fantastic ... 1959... What a feel good song here...
Oooo Eeee
Early New Orleans Rock n Roll. :-)
R.I.P. Love your music
Great oldie, and Mr. Clark was one helluva good host whatever the occasion. As a former dj for several stations, I might be biased, but I think his background in radio is responsible for his glib and quick wit.
Auch nach dem lange Jahren immer wieder super !!!
Ahhh...vocal talent! What pipes at such a young age!
NO high tech sound mixers......only raw talent.
They were hi-tech for the time. Some custom built knobs and vacuum tubes. The kind of thing hi-tech equipment tries to replicate. I’m pretty sure this is almost 30 years after one microphone in a room days.
Seen Frankie Ford live at the FOX THEATER, the FOX in ATLANTA. VERY enjoyable show. FATS DOMINO was there ALSO.
My dad (born in 1940) worked his first job as an usher at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. I get emotional whenever I go there to see a concert nowadays...which isn't often enough since I live out of state.

1959 BEST YEAR FOR MUSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love that hairstyle Dick Clark has here. Wishing it was back in fashion today.

Proper music. Thank you to the person who introduced me to it

R.I.P Frankie, Sailing on the "Sea Cruise"
This is a good song. Frankie Ford is a one hit wonder and it was a good hit. Made # 14
I remember listening to this on one of mom's 45 r.p.m. records in the 70' s
OMG I was born in 1959 and grew up in a country with no t.v....but I know this song :)...the power of music and radio eh. Thanks to my Mum and Dad for loving music and dancing and passing that love on . The music 1950s to 1980s were the best!!
Great blue eyed soul.
Blue eyed.....some of y'all white people are full of it..this is clearly pop. Oops I meant to say poop. *but a great mardi gras tune tho....
You grandparents (including mine) would remember this song.
a rare youngster here that likes old music

+Edrick Vince Velicaria Same! From all over the world! We need to show our generations how to rock like it has to be
Edrick Vince Velicaria yeet
You ain't rare man but more of us have gotta listen to sonething other than trap music
this music was great then but it is better now and just gets better with time
looooove this... never knew the singer...just loooved this song!
I was just 13 years old when this song came out. I just love it. Here we are in 2021 and I still love it. Yea for the 50's my era for music. R I P FRANKIE FORD you will always be in my heart ❤. Such a powerful singer.
RIP Frankie, loved your work

Such, Memories!
this is a cool old song ...I love the oldies
This guy's nuts! I love it. You should see him in "American Hot Wax."
Born in the 80s, i don't know where I heard this but it was in my head suddenly after adopting my old dog Hughie, oohhee baby!
Immer noch KLASSE!
He did pretty well out of just this one top 20 hits, the few others he made were not very good or successful but it kept him going for over 50 years
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
From a mad keen 76yo Aussie fan.
R,I.P. Frankie. Sail off to Happyland.
Awww.I didn't know he passed.RIP Frankie.
In memory of Frankie Ford (1939-2015)
Sweet Rock'n Roll Boogie Jive time memories
I love this song. This original is always the best song. 😊
A true original. RIP Frankie. Great person, talent from God..
RIP Frankie Ford...
Still the best version of this song ever done, despite the massive set back of "olden" technology.
I vote second best version goes to Herman's Hermits.
YES! I just saw them yesterday and Peter covered several songs, this being one of them. He is a phenomenal entertainer! I went more for the Buckinhgams than HH but was totally blown away by the massively great show he put on!!
Performers on Dick Clark were always lip-synching to their hit record-- but did it Very well!
Lucky us. Huey Piano Smith didn't want to tour this song so they recorded it with Frankie Ford doing the vocals and most of us I think are happy about that. I suppose except for 27 people at this point.
Doug Fever No.Ace dubbed Frankie’s voice onto Huey’s band backing .
Huey's an all-time great. Ford's overdubbed vocal is his one claim to fame.
@@dankatz1080 Okay, but still, that is one great claim to fame!
RIP...Thank you Frankie for the song. I fee like I am back in seventies, young and happy, when i listen to it.
frankie. ford great. golden. oldie. this. one
I love all your video's thanks for posting them and keep em' coming they take me back and you gotta love Dick Clark..
R.I.P Frankie!
WE STILL LOVE THIS!!
