oh what a great song to remind me of the cute boys on the corner that always seem to break my teenage heart! lonelystreet

[FatJames]

Yes!!! Now thats what I'm talking about. This song is just more proof that music today sucks! Keep'em comin.

[AnitaLife27]

I know this song by heart! I grew up listening to this record over and over again. Love the flip side too! Thanks!!!!

[daughtersong]

The flipside I'll hide my love was their big hit in 1959. My mother wrote and sang the song. I'll let her know you love it.

[AnitaLife27]

Thank you, daughtersong,

That would mean a lot to me. Please send her a vitual room of roses!

I still have the 45rpm. It was on the top of my list to record to my digital collection with my USB turntable.

I always thought her voice is so beautiful. Their harmony, and vocal blend is top notch. I hope she continued with music.

I sing doo-wop and then spent a few years in the Sweet Adelines. I was influenced in part by this record. Thanks to your mom for her wonderful lifelong gift!

[morebragg]

They only had this one record.I have alot of their demo records. They have a very smooth sound.
