Rare Doo Wop Ballad - The Plants - It's You

[dianaguerrasp]

I like this!! this is side B?

[PJDooWop]

@dianaguerrasp - It was issued as Side B. Neither side was a hit so I guess you can choose which you want to be the A side

[WhereAmI86]

Well all I'VE got to say is.......this is a LOVELY song!

[PJDooWop]

@WhereAmI86 - I couldn't agree more

[donthideyourhate]

just got this for 2 dollars, thanks for posting this otherwise i would have never known to grab it!

[PJDooWop]

@donthideyourhate - Nice!!!!!! Glad I could help. 2 bucks is a STEAL for this. If you see ANYTHING on J&S grab it. I haven't found a record on J&S that didn't have at least one good side on it

[TheJbh222]

A Gem!!

[doowopman49]

hey PJ, if i'm not mistaken,i believe justine[baby] washington was a member of the plants. do you have information otherwise? thanks for the memories. tom d brick,nj

[emb1st]

a little LOVE NOTES in there......fantastic

[yardlet6]

Zell Saunders would jettison personnel if they got uppity. The "Search The 7 Seas" group was not the same group.

[mdmphd]

Beautiful -- Really love this. I love discovering great music that got lost in the shuffle

[srercrcr]

Only the second group I've seen on J&S. The first? Johnnie and Joe - Over The Mountain licensed to Chess.

[PJDooWop]

J&S actually had a lot of releases.. I have this, a handful of Johnny and Joes and Hal Paige and The Whalers (thanks to Mike - Chess1458 for finding me that one). There are others that I've seen or heard of on J&S - 2 45s by The Climbers, another 45 by The Plants, a few rare gospel things - The Pilgrim Harmonaires and The Gospel Wonders, The Pre-Teens, The Jaynettes, 3 or 4 45s by The Shytones Five, and there are others.. They also put out one record on the Scatt label and a few on Zell's

[Daluche1]

I think I remember the Kodaks being on J&S with something, in fact the song I loved more than anything they did and I can't find it anywhere, not on youtube. God something in title or lyrics, can't beleive I don't remember the title right now, it will come back. Touching lyrics.

[PJDooWop]

The song is Look Up To The Sky. I'm surprised nobody has posted it. Private message me your email address if you'd like me to send you an mp3

[sleepytimegalz]

never heard of them nor the song, but this is cool. Thanks Babe....

[PJDooWop]

The hardest part is finding dedicated guys. Once you've done that hopefully you'll find a blend. If you live around NJ I can help you get the group going. I know tons of guys that sing. We even have a doo wop meetup once a month that over 40 singers attend

[PJDooWop]

That's cool man. Please let me know if you get the group together.

[Josibel56]

great theme!

[cheengators]

They sure got down on this one. 5 stars

[MRDOOWOP1]

LOL u guys am 47 and i have been a Doo wop man since i was 12!! And i love it.................."It's all about the girl"

[mets380]

Same here I'm 27 years old and I only listen to doo wop music, not that junk they play now. great song.

[PJDooWop]

Very cool. Love to find other young doo woppers

[heavylift22]

Do you have Search The 7 Seas by The Plants? If so please post

[PJDooWop]

I don't have that one (yet). I will post it when I find a copy

[skeeter1123]

im 28 and i love this music this is real music

[PJDooWop]

I'm the same age as you and I agree

[dowopper51]

AHHHHH, how sweet it is!!!!!!!!

[thedoowopgirl]

WOW! What a great song! That's what they used to call a "belt buckler polisher", dancing slow and falling in love! Those were the best days! TheDooWopGirl

(Jersey Girl, now Tampa Fl)

[hah13]

nice sound

[nemesisofthedevil]

Good tune, love the piano.

[PJDooWop]

Thanks man.. That's 50's blues piano playing which is a little strange for a late 50's NY record. You'd normally hear this in early Chicago group records and some 1950-1955 NYC ballads.

[mijaoldies]

GREAT TUNE ...

[PJDooWop]

thank you

[djdeitch]

Cool tune,.ktf.

[PJDooWop]

thank you

[feomycat]

this tune sounds a lot like "o what a night"

[PJDooWop]

That never crossed my mind but I can see what you mean

[jgv007]

beautiful ballad recorded in 1957

[tuberciend]

Classic doo wop. Excellent one PJ!

[loucacciot]

True Doo Wop!

[koolbossjock]

Talk about the Heart and Soul of RnR.I don't care where it comes from its all great music.Have Mercy.

[PJDooWop]

Thanks man. It's a killer track.

[sidney0212]

Superb track.Love it.

[PJDooWop]

Thank you

[rosiesantiago]

PJ:

This one is also great "It is you" man that's some beautiful DooWoping. I feel like I was in New York, The Bronx.

Thanks again

Rosie

[PJDooWop]

Even though they're a DC group they really have that 50's Bronx doo wop feel. It's most likely the J&S record influence.
