thats what you get marrying a man you dont love i married my first husband and i did not really love him i see him all the time and i told him im sorry cause i did not really love him
OMG! I'm so glad I finally found this! It was played all the time at my work, and I could never quit get the lyrics. I thought it said mama's little girl when it says foolish little girl haha. I've had some trouble finding it! I'm so glad I found it tonight :)
I want to dedicate this song to Woody, a counselor from a camp I went to as a child. He'd always sing this song with us and his part was when the girl 'answers'. He'd go into 'high pitch' and we'd just love it!!! All the girls back then (we were 11) thought he was HOT!!! Thanks for the memories!!!!!
I'm 22 and I absolutely LOVE oldies! They remind me so much of my grandmother, when i was a child we would be listening to her records, or cassettes and we would dance around the house! ^_^ and to this day we still do sometimes! ^_^
i am so sorry 7252christian 6 months age 108 if any touched my son if would be in jail for murder and god forgive a jury that would convict me and i feel the same way for my grandchildrn not by blood but my heart and they all love me and they love my son their uncle eddie
When I was a young teenager I would listen to WTIX AM(Tix the tiger in New Orleans). This was one of my favorite songs then and I am go glad I found it and listen to it again
It's funny, many years ago I took my young " white by the way" lol daughter and her best friend to the store and on the way back asked her best friend if she wanted to stay the night and she said I can't I'm gonna watch my grandma sing tonight. I'm thinking church, okay where is she singing? She answered I said who is your grandma? Doris Jackson of the ..?? WOW my daughter knew but never mentioned it. I loved their songs reminder if the innocent days we need to bring back.
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
I've always loved song since it came out I must have been about 6 or 7, I had older brothers and we always had the radio on and we would watch AMERICAN BANDSTAND every Saturday since I could remember. You were considered weird if you never watched Bandstand. We had all those records back then, love this music.
these gals can never get the acclaim they so deserve! This music is the best ever and the birth for all the talent to follow thru the years. THis is talent and music! Great memories that will never die!
reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll music
They were absolutlely fabulous on stage and off. Doris was a good friend of mine. She was truly one of the neatest people I ever met. Every time I see an Oreo cookie (her favorite it reminds me how much I miss her.
I am 58 years old and i remember this song because it reminds me of my older sister connie. Connie was born in 1945 so when I was 9 she was 16, she played all ki nds of music on her record player, this song she played all the time. My sister was beautiful, and the guys really liked her. When mom was drunk which was nearly all the time connie took care of us. When mom beat me it was connie who would comfort me with loving words, her arms holding me tight. I lost connie, I miss her so.
It was the Lord who put Connie in your life to help you through the dark patches.
Even though your sister is not there now, God is and He will continue to love and protect you. Some day you will be with your sister again rejoicing around the Throne of God.
Thanks so much for sharing that and God Bless You.
@demo2382 what did you say? Who are you? This is a free country and all comments are solicited on YT. Where do you get off telling me that. Who are you?
@7252christian That's a beautiful story. I think about it now every time I hear this song, and that is a lot :) I am a big sister and I will always try to take care of my little brothers just like that! Connie sounds like such a great person! You are lucky she was your sis' :)
@7252christian This is so wild because my sister was 12 years older than me and that is how I got the same appreciation for this music...She taught me how to Chaa.. Cha,,. in the living room...
@7252christian I really love this song, too. I work at a casino that plays all the old songs and I had never heard this before and now I can't get it out of my mind. Although no one can say for sure, but I truly believe that when we die, those we loved in this life will be there in the next. Connie sounds like such a sweet person. I'm glad she was there for you.
@7252christian I am the same age as you. I too was abused by my father. I had no one. You were lucky to have a sister that cared about you. She must of been someone very special. I am sorry for your loss and may she Rest in Peace. May God Bless you and I hope today you are doing well. Peace
The early 60's were such an incredible time...JFK in the White House and a wide open music business with all of these incredible African American talents making fabulous records...and genius like Phil Spector in the studio and Carol King writing these songs.
@BartA22 The 60s were a great time to have grown up. The music and overall "excitment" was indeed incomparable. There were some unpleasant issues, too, going on though : Vietnam War, Civil Rights protests, assassinations, etc... but we all survived. At least most of us...
Shirelles were my favorite "girl group" by far!!! So many wonderful songs. On this tune, I love the back and forth between the singers, the arpeggio guitar, and the simple but effective solo, and the way the song fades out at the end .... I had this on 45 back in the 60s and just about wore out the record ....
I love the shirelles and I hate how people think oldies are limited to Michael Jackson or the Beatles- I listen to songs from the 50's to 60's with my grandpa in the car
I can still see myself dancing off of this in about 1964. I was still in High School. I loved these girls, they were a class act till the end.. Thanks for the upload. ; )
@9876543217303 Their still out there performing ,and singing their hearts out . How do I know ? I promote and produce 50s 60s 70s original R/R staged events. The line up has changed alittle , but still some of the same girls are in the group . Ive used them many times , they are always a great group to stage , and as friendly as can be . Keep on supporting their music , they all appreciate it dearly
@mrconcertman this is awesome to know. I grew up listening to the Shirelles before any other girl group so I know that I will continue to support them. I just hope that they work their way back to Chicago lol. At any rate, it's always nice to see them going strong. They were always good girls. Thanks a lot! : )
@9876543217303 Im from ILL also and have done alot of concerts around my home town ,at the Peoria Civic Center We did an all ladies show featuring The Shirelles , The Chiffons , and The Crystals , along with The Dixie Cups awesom! Dee Dee Kennibrew , lead singer of the Crystals was the one who helped me, and inspired me to get in the in the business about 15 years ago .
I made alot of close friends in the business , and they all appreciate what you guys do for them and all the support
Helen Miller is probably the most underrated songwriter ever. This song is heaven. The French yé-yé singer Tiny Yong did a great cover of this song called 'Tais-Toi Petite Folle' that's well worth checking out.
One or more of these babes were from Passaic, NJ. One of the main drags known as Paulison Ave. is also named Shirelles Blvd. Hometown girls made good!
@esperantomusica I'm 26, and as much as I am in agreement, I also have to point out, not all the music of today is garbage, just the ones we can access easily through radio and/or television. I doubt there will ever be the beauty and innocence of love will ever come back.
Yeah, but we should be damned thankful for Dionne Bromfield. That CD of hers is just excellent and this is one of the best songs (and videos) of the CD. She has covers of other Shirelle songs on that CD, too. Man, I wish she'd tour with Amy Winehouse. That would be the perfect concert for me. Of course, the Powers That Be won't even let Amy into this country. Don't get me started.
This is probably my most favorite song from that era. The women were so classy and so lady like. (At least in public) To bad being classy went out of style, because that is what really made the women of that era SEXY!!!
@willfullyobscure I dont understand your question - why should it even matter what black people would think about this? Its a great tune, liked by both whites and blacks-
@christheone8773 I guess because they look and sound very "white". the girls aren't wearing their hair natural in any way, and they have this clipped, nasal mid-western girl diction that is obviously faked.
I suppose your right, it doesn't matter. It is a good song, but these days its weird to see black folk trying so hard NOT to be black folk.
@willfullyobscure well, if THAT were the case, I think that many female Motown artists like Diana Ross and The Supremes,and Martha and The Vandellas had the LOCK on things like that already, with their long flowing hair and makeup-
@christheone8773 I'm sorry, but I'm very young, and these videos from more than 100 years ago are pretty far from what modern life is like. I'm perfectly willing to beilieve that other female artists did the same thing, but I just wanted to know how ppl felt about it now, seeing the things their great-great-great-great- grandmothers did after the REvolutionary War. Its a little strange to see videos from that time these days.
@willfullyobscure I suppose your right, it doesn't matter. It is a good song, but these days its weird to see black folk trying so hard NOT to be black folk.
HA! Kinda like the sea of white faces you see at a Black rap concert, huh.
@willfullyobscure If you grew up in the suburbs back in those days you must certainly sounded white. My family is the whitest sounding Black family around. We're always laughing about the way we sound. Immigrated from Jamaica 1960's as little kids grew up in Laurelton Queens then Valley Stream long Island. There weren't many of us out there back then. Back in Jamaica but visits US often. US will always be my second home.
@CenaTv2 OK, I'll take a try (someone who knows please correct me if I get it wrong)- from left- Doris Jackson, Shirley Owens Reeves, Beverly Lee, Micki Harris
Has it not occoured to you that the music of the 50's and the 60's has lasting and staying power. So no wonder your generation is copying our music and calling it their own. If it was'nt for the greatist generation, and the baby boomer's your generation would not be able to do the things that you are takeing for granted, and that includes taking our music.
@lincoln68508 How exactly can the baby boomers take credit for "the things that you are takeing (sic) for granted."? Baby boomers can take credit for the drug epidemic, AIDS, and President GW Bush.
@ralphsteadey Beverly Lee is the only remaining member. She still performs as The Shirelles with two other singers. The original members: Shirley Owens Reeves left the group in 1975 for a solo career. Micki Harris died of a heart attack onstage in 1982. Doris Jackson died of breast cancer in 2000.
@elephantstuff If you want to make a statement I would suggest that you learn to write and spell correctly. Also dionne's is a copy, not the original, so the original had to be better because dionne like it.. So don't take the past for granted, don't you realize that everything that you are enjoying and taking for granted came from the generations that came before yours.
@lincoln68508 1st of all mii spelling is quite legible if u cud respond to it so I dnt think mii spelling is a problem, 2nd dionne's version is waaaaaaaay better and soulful than tha original.. nd like I stated b4 juss cuzz sumthin is original dnt make it better 12 inch colorless tv's are original duzz tht make em better than their modern flat screen hi def colored counterparts juss bcuz of when it was made??.. no it doesn't

One or more of these babes were from Passaic, NJ. One of the main drags known as Paulison Ave. is also named Shirelles Blvd. Hometown girls made good!

@esperantomusica I'm 26, and as much as I am in agreement, I also have to point out, not all the music of today is garbage, just the ones we can access easily through radio and/or television. I doubt there will ever be the beauty and innocence of love will ever come back.

Yeah, but we should be damned thankful for Dionne Bromfield. That CD of hers is just excellent and this is one of the best songs (and videos) of the CD. She has covers of other Shirelle songs on that CD, too. Man, I wish she'd tour with Amy Winehouse. That would be the perfect concert for me. Of course, the Powers That Be won't even let Amy into this country. Don't get me started.

This is probably my most favorite song from that era. The women were so classy and so lady like. (At least in public) To bad being classy went out of style, because that is what really made the women of that era SEXY!!!

willfullyobscure 1 year ago
@willfullyobscure I dont understand your question - why should it even matter what black people would think about this? Its a great tune, liked by both whites and blacks-
christheone8773 1 year ago
@christheone8773 I guess because they look and sound very "white". the girls aren't wearing their hair natural in any way, and they have this clipped, nasal mid-western girl diction that is obviously faked.
I suppose your right, it doesn't matter. It is a good song, but these days its weird to see black folk trying so hard NOT to be black folk.
willfullyobscure 1 year ago
@willfullyobscure well, if THAT were the case, I think that many female Motown artists like Diana Ross and The Supremes,and Martha and The Vandellas had the LOCK on things like that already, with their long flowing hair and makeup-
christheone8773 1 year ago
@christheone8773 I'm sorry, but I'm very young, and these videos from more than 100 years ago are pretty far from what modern life is like. I'm perfectly willing to beilieve that other female artists did the same thing, but I just wanted to know how ppl felt about it now, seeing the things their great-great-great-great- grandmothers did after the REvolutionary War. Its a little strange to see videos from that time these days.

HA! Kinda like the sea of white faces you see at a Black rap concert, huh.
darkchococide 1 year ago
@willfullyobscure If you grew up in the suburbs back in those days you must certainly sounded white. My family is the whitest sounding Black family around. We're always laughing about the way we sound. Immigrated from Jamaica 1960's as little kids grew up in Laurelton Queens then Valley Stream long Island. There weren't many of us out there back then. Back in Jamaica but visits US often. US will always be my second home.

Has it not occoured to you that the music of the 50's and the 60's has lasting and staying power. So no wonder your generation is copying our music and calling it their own. If it was'nt for the greatist generation, and the baby boomer's your generation would not be able to do the things that you are takeing for granted, and that includes taking our music.
lincoln68508 1 year ago
@lincoln68508 How exactly can the baby boomers take credit for "the things that you are takeing (sic) for granted."? Baby boomers can take credit for the drug epidemic, AIDS, and President GW Bush.
BTW - "the greatest generation" got drafted.

can anyone say what has become of this group? are they touring or have they all died?
ralphsteadey 1 year ago
@ralphsteadey Beverly Lee is the only remaining member. She still performs as The Shirelles with two other singers. The original members: Shirley Owens Reeves left the group in 1975 for a solo career. Micki Harris died of a heart attack onstage in 1982. Doris Jackson died of breast cancer in 2000.

Man, one of my all-time favorite songs, and certainly the best of the Shirelles (this and "Mama Said"). Thanks for the great, high-quality post.

@elephantstuff If you want to make a statement I would suggest that you learn to write and spell correctly. Also dionne's is a copy, not the original, so the original had to be better because dionne like it.. So don't take the past for granted, don't you realize that everything that you are enjoying and taking for granted came from the generations that came before yours.
lincoln68508 1 year ago 3
@lincoln68508 1st of all mii spelling is quite legible if u cud respond to it so I dnt think mii spelling is a problem, 2nd dionne's version is waaaaaaaay better and soulful than tha original.. nd like I stated b4 juss cuzz sumthin is original dnt make it better 12 inch colorless tv's are original duzz tht make em better than their modern flat screen hi def colored counterparts juss bcuz of when it was made??.. no it doesn't
