Frankie Avalon - Bobby Sox To Stockings

[sauquoit13456]

In 1959 "Bobby Sox To Stockings" peaked at No. 8 and it spent a total of 13 weeks in the Top 100...

The flip side of this record reached No. 10, making it a rare two-sided Top 10 record. The B/side was titled "A Boy Without A Girl"...

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

@Ezdduf4kuZ The fact is that I would never forget Frankie....the question is will you who grew up with Frankie. Anyway he was as big a name as Bobby Vee or Bobby Darin, perhaps a much bigger name owing to all those beachy movies he was in....right! Thx4 postin'

[1hottg]

Iuv the innocence of those days!! Wish I was alive back then.. The world seemed like a better place!!

[Bubberscat]

Just saw him sing this on a PBS special the other evening. Can yea say "memories". Great music, great time to be young

[mjhunt11]

NOTHING will never ever replace the innocence of the late 50's & early 60's era.

[miguelofthehillcount]

The pictures of Frankie and Annette are priceless.

[MsAshsa]

nawt wrong with us british we made most of this music like cliff the shads adam faith plus others ty xxx

[jealousblues]

he sings off key

[John1948Five]

@jealousblues So do you. I think I figured out how you got your handle. LOL

[nymyht]

@jealousblues I'm a singer and here to tell you he does not sing off key. Maybe it's your ear.

[maxkarim1]

I agree with everyone who unanymously revere this whole period of music and all the accompanying cultural and social elements that went along with it.Remember ribbons in the hair, snowflakes in a can, hot pants, and of course bobbysox and blue jeans

[phillyblizzard]

...Talk about a bittersweet song!

Wow. I remember my sister and someday, that'll be my little grandaughter.

[pantiara2]

this sounds almost exactly like Venus. Not that it's bad.

[daisymauful]

i really..really love this song..it reminds me during my teen life..

[DannyBruiz]

Loved the way it changes a girl to a teen...looking for a little lingering, longing passion in her heart...one of the best innocent songs ever.

[geebeeman1]

Still a great song! It compares to the song "Butterfly Kisses". Thanks for posting this..In spite of some of Frankie Avalon's other sillier songs (or "Beach" movies!) this song has a nice tenderness to it.

[mindlessprimitive]

I hope to play this song at my daughters wedding, for the Father Daughter dance...it will be hard to keep my eyes dry...

[chinupcheerup]

@mindlessprimitive I want to play this at my wedding for my father-daughter dance. Its a perfect song for that.

[Miss1930s]

Cute! I met Frankie in 1987 and he signed my 45-picture sleeve of this song. He looked at the picture and said "I was just a baby!" My friend & I were just 18, but loved this era of music. Most of the people waiting to meet him were much older... when Frankie saw us he said "Wow - chicks!" So funny!

[anglerfly]

Is that from Gidget?

I LOVE mp3iffy it WORKS just google mp3iffy.

[rrc1945]

It doesn't get any better then this !!!

[grammag58]

I listened to this everyday when I was still in bobby socks!!!!! I still love this song!!!

[John1948Five]

@grammag58 I loved those bobby socks. The girls looked great with bobby socks and oxfords, tennies, or loafers. And girls were girls!

[SweetZombiJesus]

@John1948Five i.e. submissive, less-educated etc?

Girls are better off these days.

[John1948Five]

@SweetZombiJesus You are so wrong. Girls were much better off before feminism taught them to hate men and hate their own femininity.

[SweetZombiJesus]

@John1948Five I think it depends on what kind of women you know. All the ones I know are self-respecting, charming, polite women who are also unafraid to find a place in society on their own. I am glad that if I have a daughter one day, she will not have to rely on a man to have a good life, but can wait and find someone she really wants to be with.

Feminism taken too far is awful. But it did make some things better. At least in my opinion.

[John1948Five]

@SweetZombiJesus Yes, feminism carried too far is way too prevalent. Also,the negatives of the 50s and 60s are blown way out proportion by PC feminists. What you think about those days is wrong. In healthy families women were not "subserviant." They were loved and respected partners. Find a sitcom today where the male lead is respected. If you can find even one I'll be surprised.

[SweetZombiJesus]

@John1948Five I try not to take sitcoms as models of society. The only sitcom I have watched faithfully in recent years is Arrested Development, and in that one Michael Bluth is the most emotionally stable and the most dependable character in the entire show.

Maybe it is different from most sitcoms, as I said, I do not watch them much (they're usually quite bad).

[gva0917]

How sweet and innocent is this one; I love it. I believe I vaguely remember this one. No matter, I am enjoying it now. Amazing how the sweet, innocent ones always touch your heart. It reminds one of exactly how they felt at that time in their life! Thank you.

[JORGEPSOUSA911]

Now this is a cool song. Love it!

[AnitasStLouisHop]

"Sigh" I Really Love This Song Very Much!!! 5*s Makes Me Yearn To Be A Teen Again....Thankyou John....Anita..

[NcicHit]

@AnitasStLouisHop Your welcome. I grew up with it too.

[felixbautista]

Indeed a wonderful recollection. Thanks for the upload.

[NcicHit]

@felixbautista Thank you.

[Butterflyfleetwood]

Thanks for this wonderful song! Love it *-*

[steamyboy69]

MY SUPER SWEET 16, LOL,, man,, dIdn't know the guy behind this mesmerizing voice was so damn good looking (:

[NcicHit]

The British Invasion kind of put an end to all these good pop singers. Thanks for posting these. I'm glad I have the records in my collection. Great era of music. Too bad it doesn't come back instead of the cr&& they have on the radio now. I'm guess that just because I'm old.

[frankbinggene]

Sometimes I wonder what would have happened to music if the British Invasion never happened.

[NcicHit]

That's a good question and I really don't have an answer for it. I guess the pop guys would have kept on charting. I often wonder what if Hank Williams hadn't died at 29 or what about Buddy?

[veraellen1924]

@NcicHit No I am quite young and I dont like the music now or listening to Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus or hip hop this music is much better than now

[NcicHit]

@veraellen1924 Keep up the good work. I'm glad you like this old stuff.

[ATHRENTHE2ND]

@NcicHit I agree with you. It is sad what passes for music these days. I don't think it is because you are old I think it is that you have taste :).

[Chacmool]

Well done John 1948, the sound´s quality is great! A nice job for a great song! Thanks a lot!

[isacanota]

Love this song. Thanks

[John1948Five]

It sure brings back memories of our rites of passage.
