I can't believe it took me this long to find this song! I have a ravenous (musical) taste for doo-wop, so I'm surprised that it's taken years for me to find out about a song this GOOD! This is a doo-wop classic in my book!

It was the Fall of 1965 at the St Johns dance in Upper Darby when I fell in love with a true blonde while watching her dance to this. She remains my one true love, but by the summer of 1967 I blew it, and she said goodbye. It's probably all good tho' because I think she turned into a baby orca.

This used to be playing at all of our dances in Philly. It brings back the fantastic mood we'd be in at the time. Glory days!

From Billy Taylor's obituary in the Philadelphia Inquirer (8-10-09):

"In 1964, Billy was with the Cobras, which released a top-selling record, "La La."

"It had that stomp beat all the local dancers were searching for," Bosco said, "and Taylor shrieked the lead in a voice so high it sounded as if he had just escaped from a madhouse."

The record sold well on the East Coast and is still played at dances. The group sang it live at "Summertime at the Steel Pier," which was broadcast on TV".
