The Five Satins - A beggar with a dream

[doowopper64]

beautiful song 5/5

[doowopsforever]

Great song, Fred Parris is a very prolific songwriter. Most every 45 he recorded was written by him.

@doowopsforever Glad you like it! It´s one of their rare songs!

[MegaDianal]

It has a touch of the Drifters "this magic moment" or "some kind of wonderful"

[coyotesong]

what a great sound!!! Beautiful and wonderful in every way. I just love it.

[ricknelson69]

@coyotesong Many thanks, coyote!!!

@ricknelson69 This reminds me alot of a Drifters' hit, but I can't place exactly which one. In any event, this is a a terrific song. A beggar with a dream....what a great title for those never-forgotten adolescent angst-ridden dreams and fantasies.

Wasn't the flip side of this "I Didn't Know'? Also a terrific song. I was able to find a CD with this and other great, but obscure, Five Satins songs from Dead Dog records.

Excelente tema "Sueño de Mendigo" de los Five Satins. No lo escuchaba desde los 60s cuando se me perdió el disco. Excelente.

I agree, this really deserved to be a hit.

Outstanding song, thank you. Was this a B-side?? I can't recall tis song as being that popular, which really surprises me !!

Jaws, that's what so great about Doo-Wop, there were so many great sounds that made it impossible, for all to be popular. However, time is on Doo-Wop side, for after many years we are hearing song's that returned like the wind.
