The Chantels - Maybe (1958)

[Harley03Classic]

One Of The Great Girl Groups Of That Time Which I So Love.

[thadivagirl]

Wow! I was born in 1958 and this song has really touched my heart...even today. I guess I'm an old soul, because the music back then had so much more meaning than "most" of today's music. I said "most" because there's some songs of today that is very moving and has meaning.

R.I.P. Mother, I can still see you and daddy dancing as us kids peeked, watch and giggled. Thank you for being a wonderful loving Mom and introducing us to these wonderful songs. Love U 4EVER.

[campwill3]

this was my dorothy's favorite song in 1958. mine too. arleen smith truely has the voice of an angel. great song.

[rubyroxitout]

Janis Joplin did a rare version of this too. Great piece of work on group vocals a lost art.

[susieQ128]

i was very young... but I do remember the 50s... awesome time to grew up!!

[ronnelson82]

@susieQ128 Yes, I was born in 1952 but my oldest brother was 8 years older than me. I listened to all the music he loved. Like you I have fond memories all the oldies. In my teen years, now that I am much older, I tend to like everything before the British Invasion. It seems the innocence was lost. Now I feel it again.

[johnonorgan]

Arlene Smith sang this to me in a dressing roon in Long Island so I would get a feel of how the tune went I was to back her up on my B3 organ I'll never forget that. She also sang about 8 other songs on that couch That club was the famous Music Lounge in Farmngdale

[Phaedragon]

[Juiceman5860]

The Chantels.... will play on forever...!!

[KRxN11]

This tears at my heart. So elementary yet so profound. Check out the long version by The Three Degrees, a real masterpiece. Check out another masterwork-The late but ever great Linda Jones' version. Great music by great artists-they don't make them like these ladies anymore-The Chantels, The 3 Degrees and Linda Jones.krxn11
