I'm in the process of writing my Autobiography for my children, and these songs of my youth have been a great help.............many, many memories. :-)
Thank you so much!!! great lead singer...used to enjoy their "The Teacher." What a confident expanding United States it ws in those days. The foreign music came in 1963--just about clean bowling American music. Later the foreign cars just about clean-bowled the City of Detroit!
PLEASE DON'T READ THIS. YOU WILL BE KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE.TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. NOW YOU'VE STARTED READING THIS. DON'T STOP. THIS IS SO FREAKY. 1. say your name 10 times 2. say your mom's name 5 times 3. say your crushes name 3 times 4. paste this to 4 other songs. if you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday. but if you read this and do not paste this, then you will have very bad luck
this song makes me picture a really awesome beat up car with its wheels all messed up and wobbling all over the place.. but it's still got enough swagg to be one of the coolest looking things youve ever seen, plus it's got this song playing.
I think its a good idea that everyone like this should put our money together and buy a small town and make it into some where with just 50'-60's stuff but it would never happen, saddley.
@dorchestergirl41 that movie had more to do with the rejuvination of 50's rock than any other influence. rock and roll kind of fell by the wayside in the 70's until this movie came out. thank you mr lucas
So many good memories. I would love to hear songs like that today. No one would understand what it meant to love like that unless the right love came along. Good cuddling song too.
I was about 7 when this song was popular. my oldest sister who was 14 danced to this song in the living room with her friend nancy over and over. then american bandstand would come on in the afternoon weekdays after school, and they'd do all the dances they did on the show. I knew this song by heart even then. still love it!
I was lucky enough to have a sister that was 5 years older than me. She loved this music and lived the quintessential 50's teenage years. I got to see from the sidelines how it was and all of the scuttlebut of who and what. The cars (her boyfriend drove a bad '57 Chevey(327, 4 speed) the hairstyles, the clothes, the talk, all of it . It was wonderful and exciting and really cool.
This ones for you Moma,your Favorite To Dance Too. Love You and Miss You More Then Youll Ever Know. But One Day we all will be Together and Dancing Once Again
I really enjoyed this song....right away(It's new to me). I thought of The Fiestas and "So Fine", but this is definetly a different song altogether. I don't know what else to say other than "I'll Be Back!". Thx4 postin'
There's one problem with this video and song that have been put together; although it's a wonderful presentation of some photos from a great movie, THIS SONG WAS NEVER IN THE MOVIE!!! There's a song, "She's So Fine," but this one is simply not in there. Yes, the effect is still very good, but if some of you are going to debate who was the lead singer, how did you miss my point?
American Graffiti......Jesus, they'll never make a better movie than this (apart fron A Clockwork Orange possibly). I love it , watched it I dont know how many times, and never get tired of it...and I'm British!!! A real work of art.
@TheBlueoverthemoon this was a great film because they stayed true to the times and what teens did during them, at least in america. I dont know if they crused drive-in's and such in britian, but they certinly did here in america....all night long on weekends. a car ment freedom and independence. the star of this film was the automobile and all it gave the youth culture of those days.
@TheBlueoverthemoon american history (40s-80s) was pretty beautiful..i love anything having to do with those times, i.e movies, music, artwork, etc. i wish all the time that i was able to live through those times...it even gets me depressed sometimes cause i'm growing up in an aweful era. i'm 18
@MJLatora is right: Joe Stubbs lead. Wilson Pickett not on this… he joined up the next year; they had I Found a Love, w/ Pickett lead (out on Lu Pine #103 (b/w Swing - FEB ‘62); also on Lu Pine 136, 1003, + 5896). Some other Wilson w/ Falcons on Lu Pine, too.
The Falcons, so like the Del Vikings.

@Tritonprince who would want to apprecitate something that slapped you? i understand your point though. as a teenager myself, i hate all the crappy music on the radio today. i wish i had lived in the time of the true greats:)
isnt this just some of the best sounding stuff you ever heard! I feel like I'm sitting at the a&w drive-inn agian having fried pickles and onion rings in my 54 pontiac.
Oh man do i love this song! We use to go to a place near Columbia,Illinois called "Radisson's back in 1962. The band played this one a lot. Loved it then, still do. But, when the lead-in to the song starts it sounds just like another old song i loved. Wondering if anybody else noticed. To me it sounds just like the beginning of ":A White Sports Coat and a Pink Carnation" by Marty Robbins. Listen to both and see if you don't think so. Anyway, thanks for posting this.
Mel Torme,Tony Bennett,Elvis,Billy Eckstine,Frank Sinatra had their fans ,but 14 years old and living in the Cochran Garden public projects in early 50s and 60s this is what was playing on KATZ AM radio , from the Rocking Mr G in St Louis and WLS out of Chicago..until Midnight. Blue Moon-The Marcels-1961, Sam Cooke, Coasters, Jackie Wilson,Drifters,Larry Williams,Lloyd Price,Esther Phillips,Jimmy Reed,Dinah Washington,Etta James,- Brook Benton,Chuck Jackson, Falcons - You're So Fine ..
@jusatyro Remember Jimmy Bishop on the radio. "Hey mommy-o Ho Daddy-o Jimmy Bishop on the radio, and i'm back with my stacks of wax sayin' oopapado and a how duh ya do, e tiddly-ock ho let's rock"?
@canyon091 I do not think Eddie Floyd EVER sang with the Falcons, but could be wrong. I would practically stake my life on the fact that it's Pickett.
@calwaite From Doo Wop 2 cd set booklet: In 59 the group consisted of Floyd, Schofield, Rice, and lead Joe Stubbs.(Levi's brother). They recorded "You're So Fine". A year later, Pickett joined them and sang lead on "I Found A Love". It seems we were both wrong. My apology!
@canyon091 You know, if you live long enough you learn something new every day. I had no idea Eddie Floyd ever sang with the Falcons, or that Levi had a singer brother. Amazing, and thank you for the update. I shall now spread this newfound information around as if I'm the only person in the world who knows it!
I am happy to say that from the late grades through HS this kind of music was part of my growing up. I remember when Elvis hit the stage in the mid-50s and my folks hated him! In spite of them I loved Elvis' music and the so-called "race" music that came along on the mainstream airways, at least in central PA where I lived which had the heavy influence of Dick Clark's Bandstand in Philly and his show on Saturday's. We had straight R-n-R, doo-wop, rockbilly, country crossovers, you name it.
@njva17420 You can't be braggin on chickenshit whitebread payola taking Dick Clark SO MANY OTHER DJ's had their lives ruined,, he lied and got off. He practicall owned Chancellor Records thus we got Frankie Avalon,,Bobby Rydell,,Fabian SHOVED DOWN OUR THROATS. Payola ruined ALAN FREED who was one of the originators YET DC got off. PEOPLE REMEMBER.
Man that bathroom tile sound. A lot of artists used bathroom to record vox cause acoustics were so good. The good old days. Simple ... Three chords and the truth.
yet another of my all time favorite tunes. I grew up in those times and would'nt trade it for another even if I could ! I was 7 and remember the cool cats with hair greased up and white socks showing beneath skin tight black slacks. and this song coming out the jukebox at bill's drive-in. eating a footlong coney island and feeling all was right with the world.
@TheBabyboomkidof53 you have no idea haw much i envy you! the only songs i'll remember from my childhood when I'm older is crap like "who let the dogs out"! shoot me now!
@omarskats3000 yea, I really dont understand how this present generation will look back on the 2000's with any degree of fondness or feelings of musical accomplishments. my generation has such an unlimited and vast qunity of richness in theser things. 1955 to 1973 was just a boom in talent ,immagination,and creativity. music really started down in the 90's with rap and just got worse from there.
@TheBabyboomkidof53 I'm with you on this, Babyboom, except I think the slide began in the 80's, not the 90's. I can't think of more than 10 songs I've heard in 20 years that I would go buy. The real musicians playing real instruments were so badass, and the vocals so full of passion and emotion...vocals by singers who could SING, by the way, not trill up and down the register over and over without saying shit! I love that line above, "3 chords and the truth!" I'll be using it in the future!
@calwaite when disco came out in the late 70s I knew music was in trouble. a silly concoction like " disco duck ", did'nt only sell it became #1. that means the mentality of the next generation was dumming down, as they were buying such swill. danching replaced music as the objective of a recording. danching is fine,but not at the sacrifice musical integrity. for a while it looked like the first years of mtv would restore it. then it caved in on it's only rock formatt to appease black artists.
@TheBabyboomkidof53 Fortunately with the evolution of the Net and the arrival of sites such as this, REAL music is preserved for ever, so it wont disappear as we once feared it might and every day youngsters are surfing and discovering it and loving it and realising that once upon a time it was ALL real music.
@reelingreggie good points, and I agree for the most part. I am concerned however if younger people being so high tech oriented see the use of gadgets to make a singer in tune who is'nt the natual evolution and therefore acceptable. or keyboards that can sound like any instrument or an entire orcastra desirable. and then the issues of taste and diffinition of an " artist ". is a rapper a recording artist or music artist. if their a recording artist dont give them music awards, or rock awards.
@TheBabyboomkidof53 As they say; it's the music that counts and though"Pseudos" may win awards and momentary fame it will be the music that's remembered and then, only if it's good music and OUR music IS good music!!!!
This movie was my imaginary life. I grew up in the deep south too young to be old enough to participate in "the fifties" . I went to sleep every night clandestinly listening to the family tube radio until I fell asleep. It's a wonder I didn't burn the house down. This music goes straight to my core. It is as much a part of me as my bones. I love this song and the "thrill of life" that it captures for me. I only wish everyone could enjoy it as much as I.
@cryrocker I loved this stuff also and the movie, "American Graffiti" is one of my all time favorites. Though set in the early '60's, most of the tunes are '50's classics. I also listened to my own transistor radio during the '60's before falling asleep, but I also remember many tunes from the '50's when I was still a kid [ pre-adolescent]. There are more of us out here who love this era than you might think. I was glad to have grown up then.
A blast from the past. I just love this song. BEAUTIFUL wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Great just fantastic loved listening to tune in the fifties and I still get goose pimples. Thank you.
You did it again Ak47bandit, another great song from a not so well known group but one that had a beat and instrumentation that keeps your foot tapin'. Released in 1959 according to my sources, this was a national hit for them. In 1961 Wilson Picket joined the group as lead singer but they never had another big hit after that. Ron--Highway Stars Magazine
What I'd give to go back to 1959, as I was 10 yo & the world was great! My mother would say "You're too young for that music." But, I was THERE & loved every minute of it.
Really cool. Love it. thanks for the post. Reminds of little biddy days and discovering good music. The comments are right. Simplicity ruled. Not a whole lot of background either. Just pure rhythm and talent is what made songs like this great!
I was knee high to a duck's butt when this song was first released and use to sing it all the time, can't imagine how I sounded being that I couldn't have more four or five years of age, ha ha. So great to hear it again, talk about memories.
The main quality of a record was the ability to dance to it. No dance; no sale. Some where between 60-63 the rock of the 50s was dead. British groups took over RnR forged from R&B hits and rock took on a turn of events that still are strong today from music from 55-89. I wish could say the same about the majority of music 90-10 but the stuff just isn't there just plastic; sorry groups, lots of skin and a tiny amount of new rock and as ever R&B wating to forge the base of a new wave of music.
My R&R died about 1963. The Beatles were great but they were the beginning of the end of that sound that I loved. It's hard to explain. Starting about 1965 it would have been impossible to have had a hit such as,Purple People Eater or Apache or Wipe Out,Doo Wop of any sort or Teen Idols. My R&R had many sounds. Or maybe i'm to old to remember correctly?
In the future there will be Cyber Archaeologists who will be accessing our servers to learn about us, just like we did with the Egyptians and their hyroglyphics... They will find this music, and play it.. Isn't that WONDEFULL! Literally it will live forever.
That's a great, provocative, and very happy point, Gwhite. In some way, it shows hope for the future, as it will show those who come after us that we weren't so bad after all.
NOW that I didn't know, and I never made the connection. Incredible voices both. I like to call Levi Stubbs ( rest in incredibly powerful peace ) the Rock of Gibraltar of R & B.
@ccasia2008 I lived in Asia and the people enjoyed the music. You have to overlook some of the words. The rythem and beat is what most important if it moves you or not. USA
@MJLatora It is so interesting to me that you mention The Four Tops in your post since the lead singer on this song is none other than the legendary late great Joe Stubbs.....who is the brother of Four Tops front man the legendary late great Levi Stubbs
Your right Cathy, you should not be getting thumbs down. This music is called DooWop the best of the best Rock And Roll. In the early 60's with the British Invasion Rock And Roll was definitely reinvented by the Beatles, Stone, Kinks etc.
"The Hierophant Of 100th Street" - a two-time award winning novel speaks to this. The '60's with its Doo-wops, Rock & Roll, and Rock music changed the course of history FOREVER, man!
Rock and roll has gone through many changes over the years, that's the best way to describe it. I believe commercially rock and roll doesn't exist anymore. Only garbage does.
From Chinese in Asia! We agree most American negro music is banned on our radio because of its content! Why do you allow that horrible language! We don't
The Beatles and The Rolling Stones helped to shape and define rock and roll as we know it today. They took classic rock and roll, R&B and Blues from America and put their own personal stamps on it, bringing to the next level. The Stones, The Yardbirds and Bluesology ( a unit formed by Elton John and who backed up American acts like Patti La Belle and the Bluebelles),were actually BLUES bands-- -- they just happened to be from across the continent and have white skin. That is the truth.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the rolling stones first hit was a blues remake pale devils didnt do nothing but put a pale face on soul music thats it i cant get no satisfaction was the hit they ripped black artist off and because they were pale it sold
This ones for you Mama,I can see you dancing to this song,you loved it. Miss you more than anything in the world.I know you are dancing in heaven with Dad.One day we will all be together again. Love You, Patricia & Peter
hey guys do any of you guys that saw this movie please write back what is the name of the song when the guy see's that blonde girl that tells him she loves him and takes off the song in the background it starts like
I sing that song everyday, 5 or more times a day!

@canyon091 I do not think Eddie Floyd EVER sang with the Falcons, but could be wrong. I would practically stake my life on the fact that it's Pickett.
calwaite 1 year ago
@calwaite From Doo Wop 2 cd set booklet: In 59 the group consisted of Floyd, Schofield, Rice, and lead Joe Stubbs.(Levi's brother). They recorded "You're So Fine". A year later, Pickett joined them and sang lead on "I Found A Love". It seems we were both wrong. My apology!

@canyon091 You know, if you live long enough you learn something new every day. I had no idea Eddie Floyd ever sang with the Falcons, or that Levi had a singer brother. Amazing, and thank you for the update. I shall now spread this newfound information around as if I'm the only person in the world who knows it!

I am happy to say that from the late grades through HS this kind of music was part of my growing up. I remember when Elvis hit the stage in the mid-50s and my folks hated him! In spite of them I loved Elvis' music and the so-called "race" music that came along on the mainstream airways, at least in central PA where I lived which had the heavy influence of Dick Clark's Bandstand in Philly and his show on Saturday's. We had straight R-n-R, doo-wop, rockbilly, country crossovers, you name it.

@njva17420 You can't be braggin on chickenshit whitebread payola taking Dick Clark SO MANY OTHER DJ's had their lives ruined,, he lied and got off. He practicall owned Chancellor Records thus we got Frankie Avalon,,Bobby Rydell,,Fabian SHOVED DOWN OUR THROATS. Payola ruined ALAN FREED who was one of the originators YET DC got off.

@omarskats3000 yea, I really dont understand how this present generation will look back on the 2000's with any degree of fondness or feelings of musical accomplishments. my generation has such an unlimited and vast qunity of richness in theser things. 1955 to 1973 was just a boom in talent ,immagination,and creativity. music really started down in the 90's with rap and just got worse from there.
TheBabyboomkidof53 1 year ago
@TheBabyboomkidof53 I'm with you on this, Babyboom, except I think the slide began in the 80's, not the 90's. I can't think of more than 10 songs I've heard in 20 years that I would go buy. The real musicians playing real instruments were so badass, and the vocals so full of passion and emotion...vocals by singers who could SING, by the way, not trill up and down the register over and over without saying shit! I love that line above, "3 chords and the truth!" I'll be using it in the future!
calwaite 1 year ago
@calwaite when disco came out in the late 70s I knew music was in trouble. a silly concoction like " disco duck ", did'nt only sell it became #1. that means the mentality of the next generation was dumming down, as they were buying such swill. danching replaced music as the objective of a recording. danching is fine,but not at the sacrifice musical integrity. for a while it looked like the first years of mtv would restore it. then it caved in on it's only rock formatt to appease black artists.
TheBabyboomkidof53 1 year ago
@TheBabyboomkidof53 Fortunately with the evolution of the Net and the arrival of sites such as this, REAL music is preserved for ever, so it wont disappear as we once feared it might and every day youngsters are surfing and discovering it and loving it and realising that once upon a time it was ALL real music.
reelingreggie 1 year ago
@reelingreggie good points, and I agree for the most part. I am concerned however if younger people being so high tech oriented see the use of gadgets to make a singer in tune who is'nt the natual evolution and therefore acceptable. or keyboards that can sound like any instrument or an entire orcastra desirable. and then the issues of taste and diffinition of an " artist ". is a rapper a recording artist or music artist. if their a recording artist dont give them music awards, or rock awards.
TheBabyboomkidof53 1 year ago
@TheBabyboomkidof53 As they say; it's the music that counts and though"Pseudos" may win awards and momentary fame it will be the music that's remembered and then, only if it's good music and OUR music IS good music!!!!

This movie was my imaginary life. I grew up in the deep south too young to be old enough to participate in "the fifties" . I went to sleep every night clandestinly listening to the family tube radio until I fell asleep. It's a wonder I didn't burn the house down. This music goes straight to my core. It is as much a part of me as my bones. I love this song and the "thrill of life" that it captures for me. I only wish everyone could enjoy it as much as I.
cryrocker 1 year ago 28
@cryrocker I loved this stuff also and the movie, "American Graffiti" is one of my all time favorites. Though set in the early '60's, most of the tunes are '50's classics. I also listened to my own transistor radio during the '60's before falling asleep, but I also remember many tunes from the '50's when I was still a kid [ pre-adolescent]. There are more of us out here who love this era than you might think. I was glad to have grown up then.

You did it again Ak47bandit, another great song from a not so well known group but one that had a beat and instrumentation that keeps your foot tapin'. Released in 1959 according to my sources, this was a national hit for them. In 1961 Wilson Picket joined the group as lead singer but they never had another big hit after that.

MrGtrjim 1 year ago
The main quality of a record was the ability to dance to it. No dance; no sale. Some where between 60-63 the rock of the 50s was dead. British groups took over RnR forged from R&B hits and rock took on a turn of events that still are strong today from music from 55-89. I wish could say the same about the majority of music 90-10 but the stuff just isn't there just plastic; sorry groups, lots of skin and a tiny amount of new rock and as ever R&B wating to forge the base of a new wave of music.
nor888vast695 1 year ago 3
My R&R died about 1963. The Beatles were great but they were the beginning of the end of that sound that I loved. It's hard to explain. Starting about 1965 it would have been impossible to have had a hit such as,Purple People Eater or Apache or Wipe Out,Doo Wop of any sort or Teen Idols. My R&R had many sounds. Or maybe i'm to old to remember correctly?

Your right Cathy, you should not be getting thumbs down. This music is called DooWop the best of the best Rock And Roll. In the early 60's with the British Invasion Rock And Roll was definitely reinvented by the Beatles, Stone, Kinks etc.

The Beatles and The Rolling Stones helped to shape and define rock and roll as we know it today. They took classic rock and roll, R&B and Blues from America and put their own personal stamps on it, bringing to the next level. The Stones, The Yardbirds and Bluesology ( a unit formed by Elton John and who backed up American acts like Patti La Belle and the Bluebelles),were actually BLUES bands-- -- they just happened to be from across the continent and have white skin. That is the truth.
