  • When I hear this song I try to picture the day they were in the studio recording it for the first time

  • I am here after seeing Heejun on American Idol sing this. The Flamingo's were the bomb!

  • Thank you for posting this song with a great remaster! If any song needed to be heard in hi-fidelity it is this one. Seriously, how many of you have heard this song a hundred times and still get chills when that piano starts?!

  • Was played this song about 10-15 years ago, it's one I don't hear that often in the media. That's why it's more of a gem when it is heard

  • I think its awesome that 2KGames is incorporating music from the 50s and 60s in their games, Bioshock, The Darkness II, etc. sets the mood.

  • People who heard for the first time on Buffy the Vampire Slayer have no idea how heavily charged the atmosphere was in those days with romance. Mysterious but not sinister.

  • One of my favorites of all time. I remember when it first came out, I had the 45 and I was completely in love, man!

  • after i finished the darkness 2 i nearly cryed while listening to this song look up the darkness 2 stay with jenny

  • I can almost smell the fragrance of the teenage girls on the dance floor. My best friend had a 1957 dodge convertible. This will be played at my funeral.

  • This track is cool daddio and for a real geek treat was used in an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 2

  • @darmola1 well thanks to buffy the vampire slayer this song just has a weird sinister feel to me :/

  • Who came here after they watched A Bronx Tale ?

  • One Word..... AWESOME !!!

    Ok Man, you said it's Remastered ! Did you do it ? If so you did a great job !

    Where did you get the original tracks, they had to be on at least 8 for the master and 8 to 24 tracks from the studio to the board to tape ! I would love to try a mix down on this, so do you have the original tape ? Oh Please, Oh Please, Oh Please !! lol

  • @sojournearth I purchased this track so long ago that I have no idea where I came upon it or any of the specifics about it, but I didn't do it.

  • @sojournearth use bear share to download it to your PC and burn to CD

  • Listened to this as a baby. Always thought it was the best rearrange of a song ever. Simple production back then but made it up the charts. Listen to it again and figure out what they did to the song making it classic. Then go listen to an original version since the 30's big band days. Nice,. Cool. Smooth doo-wap. A lot of you may have even been conceived to this particular song. Think about it. How often does music have such and effect overall? Only the coolest songs have that power.

  • I melt when I hear this, especially the beginning

  • A BRONX TALE!!!

  • First time i heard this song was years ago on a soap opera Days of our Lives for the charecters Carrie and Austin i fell in love with this song im a musician so i love all styles of music from any area thanks for posting

  • @iluvrachellef I FIRST HEARD THIS SONG IN THE 60`S AS A LIL BOY, I KNEW I LIKED THE SONG AND I ALWAYS SEEM TO HEAR THE SONG AT NIGHT IN WHICH STILL TODAY,I LIKE TO HEAR THE SONG AT NIGHT

  • the first verse is so hauntingly beautiful

  • The original group was unsurpassed with there vocal ability. There harmony was 2nd to non. The best of the best.

  • SUBLIME-&,CERTAINLY ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER RECORDED

  • Love this song, have done ever since the first time I heard it, sitting in the car on evening, listening to WMCA or WINS -- can't remember which one now -- and it was astonishing. It still is: the words are simple and direct, the melody is precise, the lead is understated and powerful, the vocal accompaniment is open and dream-like but not overdone or "slushy". A perfect gem of a song.

  • What happend where are those great days ?

    Same only crap music on the radio today

    Great song thanks Nocaro

  • @mindd9 .....LITTLE DID WE KNOW BACK IN THE DAYZ WHEN WE DANCED OR MADE OUT TO THIS THAT

  • I'm having a great time listening to these wonderful oldies! Never thought I'd find them all in one place on YouTube. Amazing photos too. I love them all. Thanks so much.

  • wow, gives me chills

  • One of my all time favorite songs of all time! Thank you so very much!

  • ALWAYS ONE OF THE BEST SLOW DANCES OUT HERE TODAY, YESTERDAY, TOMORROW!

    FANTASTIC SONG

  • Beautiful. I'm on the fourth playing as I write this. If there's any such thing as perfection in music, this is it. Thanks so much for sharing, and for the info and photos.

  • Moonlight streaming, late at night, just the kids standing outside the candy store, guys with their doo-rags wrapped around slick hair, just the front of the pompadour showing, pointy shoes from florsheim, hustler pants, (very wide legged and cuffed), banlon knits. girls-tight capri pants with those wide belts at the waist. white cotton shirt and ballet shoes or saddle shoes with white bobby socks. And all listening to 5 fly guys doo-wopping, voices wafting clear to the heavens WOW! memories!

  • @early60srcool That's priceless and beautiful, man. Thanks for sharing.

  • @early60srcool Everytime I hear this, I give a big sigh of contentment, it's just perfect isn't it, and the backing is heavenly, magical, mysterious & just right.

  • @early60srcool wow....the nostalgia in the back of my throat tastes bitter.

  • @early60srcool hey thats a COOL, literary escription, are you just a natural writer?

  • GREAT!!!!!!!

  • one of the most romantic songs ever....always loved it.....thanks for posting
