[mario64guy]

Listen to "In the Sky" by Frank Zappa for a great parody of this song.

[doowopman49]

[lizellie1]

I love this song I use to sing with my brothers simply acapelo. love it keep it comming

[MsTurkeyduck]

There has never been a time or music era like this. The fifties will always dominate!

[78merlot]

A super song by a super group. God I miss this sound.

[91Charlie06]

I remember when Jimmy Hoffa & I were listening to this on my transistor radio

[kitfam7]

the best

[MegaDianal]

I had this on a 78 record. My uncle purposely sat on it. I loved all of the Paragons and the Jesters songs.

[AlvarezCutaway]

“(This tune) Also prototypical and it has the unmitigated audacity to have the most moronic piano section I ever heard on any record – and it repeats it often enough to convince me that it’s deliberate” Frank Zappa, 1975, quoted by Giovanni Dadomo in “Frank Zappa Talks of Faves, Raves and Composers in Their Graves”, Let It Rock, June 1975, p.38

[mrcmxoner]

2 people didn't start it over again

[MrSunnysider]

I loved this group along with the Jesters.I liked the up tempo Stick with me baby. My favoriete Jesters record Love no one but you .. flip of So Strange.

[MegaDianal]

I took my lunch money to go buy this record. I loved all of their songs. And the Jesters. They really had the same sound and style.

[bambieoropeza]

what you know bam

[filmnyc1956]

I Remember theses guys sing on the corner 0of Greene Ave and Bushwick Ave. back in the day was the the first thing that wanted to make me sing

[raleighsquare]

Awesome to find this ! I have loved it since the fifties. Thanks much.

[AnitaLife27]

Used to sing this song! Glad it got heard again in Casino. The Paragons were aptly named...giants of doo wop. I even like the Zappa version. Coolness!

[jmohan23]

"I broke your heart and made you cry, .please forgive me, don't say goodbye..."

Makes me want to slow dance.....Thanks for the post, Carlos!...............Jan

[vdez1969]

They sound like this was recorded in somebodies basement. Love it.

[MonstaCharlieeeee]

I REMEMBER WHEN ABBOTTS CAME THRU ON CAHUENGA NEAR THE MANAGERS, HE WOULD SLIDE THE SIDE OF THE VAN DOOR OPEN WITH THIS SONG PLAYING, IF EDDIE WAS HERE, OOH BOY OH BOY OH BOY

[lturnwall]

so good to hear this great song again!!!!! thanks for posting it

[lturnwall]

one of the great ones!

[closedcircle1]

The Paragons and the Jesters were pure doowop.

[alwaysmusic100]

This song playing, slow dancing in the pizzeria in Hoboken, NJ -- and we were considered the rough crowd!

[MegaDianal]

This make me think of weekend parties and dances. This was a fun era. Yes there were a few fights but rare killings. You fought and some became friends.

[anitec19]

CASINO!

[besosmart]

What a sound. Back in the Bronx this

was it, so many years ago, more then 45.

[supertiare]

zappa is a hippie, the paragons are beauty

[ILOVEDOOWOPMUSIC]

Wonderful! This song is fun to sing, if you're a bass, it hurts your vocal chords after awhile!

[antzam614]

i like the piano effect

[rigomex69]

My dad is grew up in Grape St Watts in the 50's and early 60's. He was turned onto this music during his AirForce tenure. I grew up listening to this and still do to this day. This music. Man i wish I could go back to the doo wop days and fighting with fists and an occasional bat or chain. I would have been a greaser. lol

[jessetrujillo]

your are right , just to bad things cant be like they were back in the days,, moms and pops kick back with the music,, thats right just to bad huh, i think the other side of this song is florence another bad ass jam, South gate boy here later keep the music going! Jesse

[raleighsquare]

You would have been in prison, or dead.

[Peterjtaurino]

I can hardly believe I am finally once again listening to this beautiful song........It's been over 40 years.

Thank you very much!!!!

[newkirkbobby]

Amen my brother

[brucenator]

Check out Frank Zappa's parody of this song entitled "In the Sky" from the 1968 BBC telecast Colour Me Pop.

[newkirkbobby]

Why would I want to hear a parody of this beauty? Nothing against Zappa, but this is my music...

[AnitaLife27]

Thanks, I think it's interesting. Zappa's on a whole other plane of existance, so it's weird hearing it the Mothers do this song--and it's kinda a semi-pardody too. I'm impressed that he even listened to doo-wop. Since Zappa's was T-H-E guy that discovered The Persuasions, and he did an interesting version of some other doo wop(The Closer you Are), I owe Zappa a debt of graditude! Oh, and Aunt Jemima (sp?)...The Persuasion do a fantastic version of that. Great stuff. Thanks!

[jimwalsh2001]

Magnificent!

[partswiz]

Been looking for this on Youtube forever. Thanks for posting!! Great Doo Wop.

[daydreambelieverrr]

lovely!

[lefty0220]

there no songs like the TRUE oldies!!

[rdf1947]

Great memories evolve when I listen to this song. A great one.....for sure.

[ShowtimeJohnnyPal]

Shit, this is a rowdy assed doo wop - good for drivin your babe all around the dance floor and grindin your ass off. Dry-fuckin we used to call it - you who were there know what I'm taukin bout. Great rhythm, beautiful falsetto. Never hear this again - enjoy it. Thanks for the post. Ayyy te watcho Carlos! Johnny Pal

[ShowtimeJohnnyPal]

God I used to hate it when I loaned out my 45's and they came back with my name written on them like the jam above. Luv the Paragons - definite OG stuff.

[stripemister]

On day's when things aren't going well lisen to Doo-Wop, the greatest sounding music to one's ear. I guarantee your day will end on a high. Doo-Wop, the greatest.

[doctorpep1]

I've never seen "Casino". I'm surprised that this song was used in it, because this wasn't a hit, according to my Doo-Wop knowledge. It's a great song, nonetheless.

[RobertArchibaldShaw]

I remember me Joe Pesci in Casino in Poker game scene, jeje.

[cheengator]

simple yet brilliant..

[libbymydog]

Oh how I've missed this song! Thanks for posting it!

[morenocarlos12]

This has to be one the top doo wop oldies ever! Glad you love it

[mmvegaq]

Great song and post, thanks charlie

[istgone]

This is one of the all time greatest songs of all time,plus it was in Casino!!

[morenocarlos12]

it is a great song. Isn't it funny how we have distinct knowledge of what films have which songs? Imagine if humans used the rest of our brains??

[istgone]

LOL.

[loucacciot]

Thx for sharing, Excellent!

[peleking352]

@istgone I know im late, but would u by any chance happen to know the name of the song playing in the Background where Nicky is beating a guy up in the alley, this scene u can also hear Sam saying" Nicky's dedication to his job".

[istgone]

@peleking352 Sorry, I can't remember the tune off the top of my head. I guess I'll just have to watch the whole movie again... oh darn. Such a sacrifice... haha.

[peleking352]
