THE CHARTS - DESERIE

[yvie7777]

this song was in a movie with harvey keitel & Robert de Niro..."Mean Streets". thats how i first

heard this. Thank God for whoever chose the music for that movie otherwise i wouldn't have heard this treasure of a song!

[GoGosBest]

I remember always being afraid that I would hear something great and never hear it again. this song was one of those, once upon a time away from home in a dorm room it came on my new radio(a Kansas city station) and I got so excited and ran to turn it up and pushed my radio out of the third story window.....Oh no!!! Easier to find things these days. thanks!!

[goenitz0289]

it reminds me of a girlfriend i had in los angeles, i used to play it over & over. great song thank you. for post.

[deanslist101]

This was a popular juke box standard for many years after its release and deservedly so. A beautiful number for slow dancing under low lights (or NO lights). These guys were among the best groups of that time. Slow romantic A-sides and lively uptempo B-sides, all equally great on their singles.

[JBLegs]

Bell Vocats circa 1959 DC's all boy's school house on Hyatt Place. 14th & Park Roaders lived off of this song! Where are you?

[Nickie0016]

Supberb!!!!!!!

[Lolita82ify]

[delacruzallstarhomes]

I remember playing this at the Vargas' garage parties in Fillmore across from the lemon orchards...tons of memories from the garage and the orchard...lol....I wanna be young again...

[ldynyc47]

Brings back memories of the parties in the Bronx and West 26 St in NYC.

[abraedes]

THIS ONE IS ONE OF THE GREAT ONE OF THE DOO WOP ERA!!!!!!! YEA.

[halfaddict]

"Doo Wop Forever"

[beachmeier25]

Best ever slow dance at Rand"s 14 & I street Wash.D.C. long ago.The lead singer of this group sounds so much like Earl Lewis of the Channels- Wow, two great doo wop voices!

[sleepytimegalz]

[tusabes2011]

tu sabes every time i hear DESERIE i remember the firme slow dancs with a firme home girl. all of the home girls who listen to these rolas are extra firme.

[Nvr4getFrankieLymon]

One of the all-time best doo wop songs.

Everyone tried to hit those notes.

Great memories of my youth.

[nyimtman]

Nice 5 by 5 *****

[PJWAEC]

Lots of beautiful memories with this one. Great doo-wop.

[lenvis64]

amazing.. excellant tunes !!!

[rockinrobin246]

Great song. !! Fantastic doo wop. I really dont know how I would even classify music today, and I use the term music lightly.

[PS109VanBurenHigh]

This song never fails to give me a chill. It rivals In The Still Of The Night for best doo wop melting heart exploding soul ballad ever.

[nystar1881]

love it..Beyonce has no education or brains either.but she has a vagina she likes to strut out along with her wigs...since you insulted Johnny B -mr patrickb5197 troll..he had a job..do u other than trolling/

[coffeeicecream1]

Oh my G-D, love this so much.

One of the great Doo Wop songs of all time.

[izzysdad11]

one of my facorites damn these cats could blow lol

[kjdoowop]

This song will never die. It is a doowop classic that will continue to give chicken skin every time you listen to it.

[qlindsay]

We had a date to go on the amateur night at the Apollo. Mama said no because I was only thirteen. We were gonna wear white t-shirts and blue jeans. Mama said no education was more important.

[sssirota]

hotttttt

[jobbu42]

Great song.When this first came out we played zoop. Then flipped it over and wow.

[billeybop]

What a fantastic song!!! Sweet.

[wcshanahan]

love music brings back great memories

[hotcha9]

Timeless! Out to the deepest galaxy. Harmony like syrup. And what is the proper term for the singer in the background, going for himself??? Is that what you call "warbling?"

[CheckMate657879]

I always loved this song because the harmony sounded like they were drunk but still made it "work."

[AvengedTimes]

awesome.. just awesome music

[brucer12]

I completely agree with the underrated group opinion--these guys deserve in the Music Hall of Fame.

[christinecassin]

17.yr. genius..

[ringo244]

Wow,what a great song by a underrated group.

[probchild85]

great song and some great memories

[GnR87srr]

Now this is a song to dance to. A sure impresser. Oldies, man... gotta love them. more than music more than a feeling

[tacc24]

Check out the live Version here on YouTube...A masterpiece.

[tacc24]

Thanks for posting this. This is the best Doo Wop song ever made...bar none! I never forgot this song...and once in a while I think of the old days when music was music, and I hear an oldie, and this song comes to mind. The background singers are great...they are all going in different directions and they sound great. Thanks again, Tom

[probchild85]

Charts another great group and song.

[OdysseyLoungeA2]

@probchild85 You bet! Played it back to back with Have I Sinned when I DJ'd teen dances in the Pittsburgh area--Still my #2 all time favorite (after Donnie Elbert's masterpiece!)

[kjdoowop]

ahhhh, just fantastic. When you think doowop, this song has to come to mind. It's a classic.

Thanks for the post,

Ken

[dkelly26666]

ANOTHER great doo wop that appeared in Martin Scorsese's classic, "Mean Streets".

[chingo41]

This is my favorite Doo Wop song. The oher side is great too, "Zoop".

[patrickb5197]

Solid NYC sound if there ever was one, this was their 1st record n best one. Check out their other sides as well, reminds me of GG's show on WPIX.

[The64corvair]

@patrickb5197 GG was just great. I still have one of his greatest albums. I loved this song when it was a newie, and I still love it now that I'm an oldie.

[tlover1062]

LONG LIVE DOO-WOP!!!!! Thank u so much for the post. The sound is GREEAAAT!!!

[ringo244]
