Forget all the crap that passes for music today.The period between the mid '50s and mid '60s was the greatest in music history.And you didn't have to worry about covering your kids' ears for fear of them hearing the f word

[GGE47]

I remember this song from the fall in 1961 as I was starting high school.Hardly heard it since,but it just started going in my head and I didn't know if it was on youtube and here it is.Never heard it in a movie or commercial,but I was trying to remember the songs of that time and it just popped in my head. Thanks raredoowop.

Only Reason I Looked For This Song Was Because Of The Baltimore Club Version To This Song

[mrscheerdominic]

I've never seen Hairspray, I heard this song watching The Children of the Corn ...Great movie...

[Larouge07]

I was switching through the channels and I came upon the first hairspray credits and this song was playing and I rewound it and started dancing all over the place and again and again and again. lol. I hope itunes has it cause I'm buying it.

[raredoowop]

[heartx3jess]

Heard it on that MTV show. Loved it instantly

[gva0917]

Just another disregarded Green Hanger

[Motionedout]

You can't hear the organ/loud stomping in some of the newer releases of this track. But you can hear it here.

[raredoowop]

@Motionedout it's my pleasure .thanks

[alphagate]

I remember seeing this group on American Bandstand in 1961.

[Craigc540]

@alphagate I whish there was video around back then. Aaron Collins is my father and he wrote this song.

[turbo1964]

@Craigc540 WOW. Are you serious? If so, how great your dad wrote a song that makes millions of people groove. I have blasted this song for decades and it never gets old. Thanks!

[Craigc540]

@alphagate I was born in 1961

[wischnut6]

Love it

[repcoh]

loved this song since used in original Hairspray movie. Amazing!

[dscottvanmeter]

I can not thank you enough for posting this..

I AGREE THIS IS THE BEST VERSION!!!

The one on the Hairspray soundtrack doesn't have the heavy foot stomping, which in my opinion outweighs the newer studio version..

THANKS A MILLION..

[d820m]
