[thecountofbasie]

Gotta say, I never played the game (though Goodfellas is one of my fave movies)...but if it gets everyone to check out the classic sounds, that's more than cool with me...rock on everyone

[MrYFrost]

[MacCedy]

[mytube543210]

[doowoppingchainsawer]

I was watching Win Ben Stein's Money once and a contestant was named Earl. Ben said "They often call him Speedo but his real name is Mr. Earl. ANyone get that? Anyone? Never mind." I was probably the only one watching on t. v. or in the audience who got that.

[thecountofbasie]

@doowoppingchainsawer Wow...I think I saw that episode...even if not, I can hear Ben Stein in my head...cool recollection...

[LeVol0ntaire]

Mafia 2 :)

@TubeNumber1USA As earlier noted, I upped a few sets from this disc, and forgot to remove that Penguins pic when I converted...good eyes to everyone who catches it

[Fredwilson45]

Perfect testimony that the music of today sucks.

[vkorchnoifan]

The Cadillac are a class act. I am so sorry to see them pass. God Bless them.

[Tw33tyBooBoo21]

Rip Bobby hope you Harvey fuqua,Pookie Hudson,Billy Stewart,Marvelous Marvin Gaye,Pete(Alex)graves and all you pioneers of the best and baddest sounds ever. From Dock Williams of the Moonglows of Return of the Moonglows.

[DoowopJohnnyBoy]

Fat Rocket Label Rather!!!!!

[DoowopJohnnyBoy]

I've had there albums since about 1990 along with other Doo wop groups this stuff taught me why modern music ain't worth the Shit that comes out ur Arse compared to this Kind of stuff!!! I have got 2 of my own Doo wop records coming out soon my personal contribution to this fabulous music on Far Rocket Label.

[sheepherder100]

thumbs up if you know Earl as the cool janitor at P.S. 87 in NYC

[GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep]

Scorsese and Tarento have the best soundtracks

[thecountofbasie]

@GrisGrisOnUrDoorStep Gotta agree with you...discovered a lot of cool sounds thanks to Quentin, but as a lifelong doo-wop fan, Scorsese rules

[Hyman74Roth]

@thecountofbasie Me too.

[siccmad3303]

this song the shit

[nerdking155]

@siccmad3303 fuck you and go listen to your justin beiber shit.

[lordvoldemort578]

[dakarlion1]

great doo-wop classic. Ry Cooder made a fine version too

[flyflashynyoung]

Earl Speedo Carroll Is dad

[dandy166]

I remember their choreagraphy. Man they could dance. Real showmen.

[thecountofbasie]

You've gotta admit, Scorsese knows his sounds, and just where to put them...glad everyone digs the song, and the movie (which is one of my faves)

[Idattani]

The bartender got a hundred just for keeping the ice cubes cold

@MrZr350 yehhh

[jawz666]

@MrZr350 that's why it's in my head

[stevieplez2]

I heard that they really could perform

[thecountofbasie]

@stevieplez2 There's some performance clips floating around YouTube, and check them out in the early Alan Freed movies...even the current revival group still has it....definitely worth the watch

[drcoxcentral]

This version of Speedo is more rockin' than the one on Goodfellas, even I LOVE that version as well!

[Cralfinsamhiemnater]

Mafia II

[limoduck15]

With Hurricane Earl coming, I can't get this song out of my head.

[thecountofbasie]

@limoduck15 Now that's a connection...hopefully that Earl will be just as speedy...

[tommailloux1]

@limoduck15

[harptone55]

CAN YOU PLEASE POST BETTY MY LOVE?ITS A GREAT SONG,

@harptone55 I wish I could...but WMG's blocked it...:-((

[Toxiejunkie]

when rock and roll had a soul.

[mychelsa]

My name is Earle and finished high school in 56.  They nicknamed me Mr Earl for a time.

[thecountofbasie]

@mychelsa Great nickname for a high schooler...

[ajgolfer1]

listen to that sax!!

[lalvarado63]

Oh, that's cool! I just know quite a bit about 50's r&b vocal groups, for being born in 1963 I guess that I am a throw back. This is the best american music ever made.

[lalvarado63]

The first group was The Penguins; Earth Angel.

[thecountofbasie]

@lalvarado63 Thanks for noticing...when I put these together I just deleted pics back and forth and just missed that one (there's a Penguins post from the same disc)

[stevemike84]

Doowop still rules.

[thecountofbasie]

@stevemike84 Amen...

[stevemike84]

This my friends is Music!

[olfatcalves]

you see hits didn't bother Jimmy. It was just business.But what he really loved to do more that anything else was steal.... Shrimp and lobsters were the best.

[1560438]

Well its funny. I was 5 when this was popular, however most of the cars in the hood were playing it.

[mrjonrickly]

killer!!

[RLove99]

It's when I first met the world...it's when I first met Jimmy Conway.

[nellgwen48]

@RLove99 He would tip the bartender 20 bucks just for keeping the ice cold.

[johnnyweep59]

[CosmoKramer420]

Damn this is slamming, even though it`s a poor recording you can still tell they were tight as hell. It must have been mind blowing to hear this live

[SICxREAPER]

@123eviesillygirl limewire? (:

[SICxREAPER]

where can i get the original version of this song??

[thecountofbasie]

@SICxREAPER Are you looking for just an mp3 or a vinyl LP? The original record has been released on dozens if not hundreds of reissue discs...you might try Amazon or a similar site to just buy a download

[jerrywnc]

This is great group with a live act that is terrific.

[clownpaint20]

this is the song playing when jimmy conaway walks in to the club in goodfellas

[babyforever6969]

I have your 45 on ny jukebox along with You Are, Gloria and several others. Love your voice. I actually met you at the Ben E King Foundation in Leesburg, VA a few years back. Thanks for the wonderful voice and music

[grega1972]

uh but why did you put a pic of the Penguins in the video ?

[thecountofbasie]

whereabouts is it? musta missed it when I made the clip, but the penguins were also on the album, so I just deleted pics back and forth...great eyes and thanks

[karaz919]

I always play this song for my dad when hes in his shop working on the cars...... or shall i say hot rods....

[britneyslut]

[pyledog]

[steelerbradd]

Hey Great song. Believe it or not, my 7 year old son LOOOOOOVES this song. He makes me play it everyday, not kidding. His name is Joe and he cracks up everytime they say his name in this song. Great song, thanks for taking the time to post this.

[thecountofbasie]

Cool Joe loves it...may his dad and mom have the great and wide musical tastes mine did...and another generation will keep the sound alive...thank you

[steelerbradd]

@thecountofbasie He does have parents who have a wild taste in music. We have the classic Italian songs and oldies on my side, on his Mother's side he has the old R&B tastes to choose from. Great song, thanks again for posting. I am going to play it for him again.

[thecountofbasie]

Thanks for the appreciation guys

[britneyslut]

you welcome :)

[rogeliorulo]

Original sound track. Great early R&R.
