Doo-wop has sustained itself as enduring, endearing and just plain fun. This song represents all of those attributes. I could listen to this stuff all night and I sometimes do, doo-wop!
I love this group i seen Larry chance and the earls in concert got to sing with him and get autographs me and larry are good pals keep rockin and rollin larry
@edwardwbalen Ed, that's right. Beverly Ross and I wrote it..then this other slaeze producer recorded it with the Earls, changed the title, made the lyric worse, and put his name on it. Bev and I sued, but it was either spend a lot of money, and time, in a lawsuit while all royalties were held up, or settle...which we did. I still have some regrets about it. To be clear it had nothing to do with The Earls...they just sang it...and did a great job for sure. thanx for the note. peace, tony

@Tonypowers22:, I just uploaded "Remember Then to my facebook page. I am doing a countdown of my all time Top 500 favorite songs, and "Remember Then" is on the list. Love the song! Thanks for writing it!
@carlover89 Yes, it truly is a very beautiful song! No, nothing nowadays even comes close to real music. So-called "singers" nowadays no longer sing-more like they chant. I have heard modern-day "music" and those wannabes couldn't care a tune in a basket! Doo Wop was so marvelous- they could sing back then!!! Good music went the way of drive-in theatres, 15cent glass 16oz. pop bottles, and cars made of metal instead of plastic...wish I could go back to those wondrous, innocent days...
@TheJoey1s Get your sentence straight, the beatles are the best, Doo wop like this revolutionized the 50s along with elvis, carl perkins, buddy holly etc, and the Beatles changed the face of music if it weren't for the Beatles we wouldn't have much rock or psychedelic music. the beatles revolutionized pop, rock, and psychedelic music. The Beatles were real music. Enough said.
@TheJoey1s Yeh they really did ruin rock and roll, it went from kids in leather jackets and fast cars to kids with long hair and coward beliefs and laziness
@TheJoey1s I totally agree with you Joey.... Those beatles were the first wave of the British "Reptillian" Invasion that was to corrupt and set the guidlines in pop culture since then and here out. Those Devils!!!
@TonyPowers22 Hey Tony i'm glad to be able to say how much happy I am for typing you some words, and i want to say thank you, this music you wrote, believe me, helped me a lot when I'd been down depressed because of a girl, i almost died of a brokenhearted, but I didn't, i used to listen your song many time a day, and I survived... but still today almost 8 years after she broked my heart, "My mind wanders now and then", believe me that's why I say thank you :)
@TonyPowers22 Great song performed by a great group. I think Larry Chance was among the best leads during the era. Tony were you ever in a group and did you write additional hits.....hope you collected your royalties. I heard a lot of writers and performers got ripped off during that era. Thanks again for the song!!!!
@TonyPowers22 --- Well thank you so much Tony!! I love this; I have great memories learning how to hand dance to this song. Hope you are well and prosperous. Thanks again for a great song!
@TonyPowers22 Thank you for such a great song. After all these years it is still great to listen to. I just love coming to You Tube and enjoying all the great songs I grew up to in the 60's and 70's.
hi tony, I grew up in brooklyn listening to acapella singers under the street lights... those were the days. i went on to play guitar and sing and loved every minute of it. what i will always love is how perfectly songs like Remember Then, came together - the lyrics, melody, harmonies, Larry Chance and The Earls...that kind of magic happens once in a lifetime. Thank you for doing what you had to do back then to put Remember Then in the history books forever! joe frustaci...
I thank technology for this. I'm only 28 but I remember cruising around with my grandfather as a kid and him playing tunes like this. I now get why it was incredible.Thanks for the upload.
I listened to these guys for a while then i listened to sha na na, all i can say is the earls have a lot of talent that goes far too under appreciated, way better than sha na na
@atcbotic I agree with you. This is the kind of music you just must love. It's just so sad that they made all these earraping modern songs. Good thing we got the internet! Cause these tunes will never dissapear. I just know it.
Just love this! Soo wish I was 16 or so when this sort of music was on the radio etc. Thanks for posting! By the way I hate driving but this would be a great excuse to get to love it ! hugs x
something i dont get is that in mafia 2 it takes place in 1945 and then he gets back in 1951 and they put this song and alot of songs that ddnt come for a few years some even longer than a decade
I start my "oldies" show with this record for my High School Alumni Dances. The school closed in 1972 due to legislated mandantory busing. Too bad that one of the orginal singers lost his life in VN. I am a VN era vet so have a deep loss for him too.
@fitycent93 How could any sane person forget some off all time those songs! That is a list of no small redoubt. Just imagine "Happy Days" without the music that shared the screen ctedits.. "Dukeof Earl, " "Everly Brothers", "Elvis in "that although I still think Elvis has NOT left the building you can't tell me his influence has waned. What a video of the music from the mid fifties and all the way up. Now tha my fellow time machinetravellers
@lesnik123451 i never tried it but i have heard people talk about a website called mp3ify or something like that :P basically turns youtube vids into mp3s :)
@lesnik123451 I actually have an entire CD of Larry Chance & the Earls, he is on FaceBook I am friends with him. Vito Picone of the Elegants("Little Star"),Norman Fox & the Rob Roys ,Randy Safuto of Randy & the Rainbows & a bunch of other doo wop greats.
I'm 39 and I swear I'm reincarnated. I resonate with all the doo wop stuff from the 50s and 60s. I have this on my Ipod and I just listened to 'Duke of Earl.'
Talk about great stuff! They don't do it like this anymore.
We're on the same page. You might also tap in on "The Boy from New York City" by the Manhattan Transfer, although I'm not sure they did the original. Up-tempo NYC doo wop at it;s best!
Interesting note about the "chinka-chinka" sounding rhythm at the beginning of the recording-according to a interview Norm N Nite had with Larry Chance, they planned on an electric guitar giving full backing, but there was a problem of some sorts with either the amplifier or the guitar, so they just laid the guitar down with no amplification whatsover. Pretty much an electric guitar not plugged in-listen close!
I was 11 years old when this came out. Those were the days and the days just seemed to keep getting better and better.

I'm 39 and I swear I'm reincarnated. I resonate with all the doo wop stuff from the 50s and 60s. I have this on my Ipod and I just listened to 'Duke of Earl.'
Talk about great stuff! They don't do it like this anymore.

My mistake. The Ad-Libs have the best version of "The Boy from NYC"...

@JohnGee1977 Great song. Before Ad Libs released their version, I heard Frankie Valli and Group sing it live. It was AMAZING.

the epitome of great, white, NYC, up tempo doo wop of all time. Ass kicking harmony with one of the greatest lead singers of all time, Larry Chance.

We're on the same page. You might also tap in on "The Boy from New York City" by the Manhattan Transfer, although I'm not sure they did the original. Up-tempo NYC doo wop at it;s best!

Interesting note about the "chinka-chinka" sounding rhythm at the beginning of the recording-according to a interview Norm N Nite had with Larry Chance, they planned on an electric guitar giving full backing, but there was a problem of some sorts with either the amplifier or the guitar, so they just laid the guitar down with no amplification whatsover. Pretty much an electric guitar not plugged in-listen close!
