aaahh...this performance brings tears to my eyes...i've heard the original time and time again, but seeing this just makes it that much more meaningful..they've truly kept it alive, and haven't lost a thing...i'm 37 years old...i may be getting older....but this music will never fade.....
@hypersport7 Well i'm 67 and remember dancing with my girl friend at the Sadie Hawkins dance in 1959 in the 9th grade to this great song and BTW that girl is now my wife of over 47yrs.
I have never forgotten her, we were together for a number of years....there's no good explanation as to why were aren't together even now but somehow, we drifted apart. Forget....never.
Just for the record, the people from Pittsburgh are some of the finest people I've ever met. I find them caring and with a sense of humor. Can you say that about your city? Of course not if you're from Cleveland, but then again that's another story. By the way I'm from Cincinnati...also just for the record. Now back to the video, Donna Grooms is the real talent in this group, she is a true professional in every sense of the word.
Younger ones: Don't believe that what you see today is all there is. If you let go the era of the 60s, you will not ever realize what has slipped you by. There are thousands of songs by hundreds of groups that may be heads above what you hear today - if only you give them a chance. Then, it was about feelings - the kind you get inside. Listen, ask, and learn of those times and you will grow to heights you only now dream of. "Since I Don't Have You" is legend - it rolls with pure feeling.
@TheRover940 Rated a great place to live by who, Bosnians? LOL! Can you say crime, dirt, trash, boarded up houses, no jobs, minorities? Insecure much? The Penguins are sitting at home watching the Stanley Cup finals on TV, just like you moron! LMFWAO!
@uizababoon The correct wording is "by whom", you illiterate pedophile. Get your cousin/wife and get out of the trailer occasionally. We had the Pirates, Power, and Three Rivers Arts Festival this weekend. What did you have in your village. Watching the Sears trucks unload again?
@rover940 Thanks for the English lesson Bozo! I bet your A Expert at EBONICS too, with all the African neighbors you have. Did you buy a couple Etch-A- Sketch drawings at the "Arts Festival"? I see on TV the same 16 people bored enough to attend a Pirates game. You have "Power"? We have had electricity here for well over 100 years! LOL! Did you wear A gas mask when you went outside in that poison air? Did you lock the burglar bars on your windows and doors? I think Mc Donalds is hiring!
Jimmy Beaumont (lead) is the only original member. Donna is fabulous. The original lead, Janet Dean Vogel tragically committed suicide in the '70s. This is the greatest doo-wop group of all time and the greatest ballad ever made. Phil Spector called "This I Swear" the greatest oldie ever made.
Janet passed away on Feb. 21, 1980 and you are right on the money: no group anywhere will ever beat the Skyliners today. Dd you know about the movie being filmed called "Since I Don't Have You"?This is being put together by Janet's son, Gavin. It is about Janet's life. Can't wait for the premier even though The Skyliners aren't in the movie. You ought to go to their website and by one of their jackets and t-shirts--super nice!
Winter Morning Pictures is presently shooting a film in Pittsburgh called "Since I Don't Have You" about the life and tragedy of Janet Vogel Rapp, with the Skyliners music as backdrop. Find us on the "Since..." facebook page! Thanks, Skyliners fans!
This I Swear has got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written. And the Skyliners made it that way!!! It is one of my absolute favorites - ever!
Ohhhh Donna, I fall so in love with you, every time I watch this & hear your incredible voice soar at the end. GBY for being that voice, all these years. Janet smiles on you. Wolfsky9
My most memorial memory of "Since I don't have you" was walking from Avonmore to Slickville when The Slickville Cappella Street Corner hitting all the notes.
This ended up being one of their favorites at Mike's & Damico's.
Ohhhh Donna, you are such a total Babe, classy, gorgeous, sexy, & what a voice! I've watched this Perf. a thousand times, just to hear the music, & watch Donna. Classic! I know--I was there. Wolfsky9, 64 y/o Today.
Wow! What a valiant effort to sound as close as possible to the originals 40 years later. The new girl sounds great following such a tough act as Janet Vogel. LOVE IT!!!
@deanslist101 Janet Vogel-Rapp of "The Skyliners" died at 37 on February 21, 1980 in her garage under her home from Carbon Monoxide poisoning. It was an apparent suicide. Her high notes in "Since I Don't Have You" are priceless. Janet was such a wonderful vocalist who could do so much more that hit high notes on a fade out in a song. Check out her lead vocals on the Lp's "The Skliners" (1959), "Once Upon A Time" (1972) and "The Skyliners" (1978, not same Lp as 1959 Lp).
@deanslist101 Actually, Donna's been with Jimmy since '85/'86. She's from Pittsburgh also, & when she auditioned, Jimmy saw her talent & beauty , signed her up, & the rest is musical perfection. Donna is gorgeous, classy, sexy, all at once. Wolfsky9
I owned a silver '57 Chevy, 283 , Power Glide Tranny, & ohhhh, the memories made in that Ride! Graci Froever, Jimmy, Janet, Donna, & All the Skyliners through the years! Wolfsky9 , 64 y/o
one of the all time great ballads. they dont come any better than this, and This I Swear is a close second. thanks jimmy, joe rock, and the group. Oh, and the Pittsburgh skyline.
Janet's son (the one that suicided) has decided to make a movie about her and this group. Casting is now being done as we speak. "The movie is titled "Since I don't have you.) I can't wait for it to come out. I am crazy about this group!!
Awesome...that is what they call music.. you can understand every word...Beautiful music.. What wonderful memories this music brings back..thanks for sharing..Bless you day
What a sound, what a song, what an era.......there will never be another time like this - long live the 50's...........Try listening to SINCE I DON'T HAVE YOU - without reminiscing - this is the anthem of that era.........thanks guys...........
I can hardly write this `cos my eyes keep welling up with tears of sheer emotion ! This is the music of the angels - straight out of heaven.....and it`s way way way above and beyond about 99% of any other popular music in all of history !
OMG!...all those who don't love the Skyliners and this song please go stand in the corner, as the firing squad would like to have a "chat" with you...
Sorry I am so picky, but in your description you misspelled Pittsburgh, PA. I am sure all Pennsylvania natives will be happy if you could correct it. Thanks
Donna Groom did wonderfully well on the PBS special also with "The Tokens" when they did their hit "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". For some reason though it was partially taken off YouTube. The video is there but no sound.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The "niggers" invented do wop. The white people only had hit songs because they could get record contracts. The "N's" didn't have distribution deals with big record companies, so their do wop songs were not played on popular radio. Only on the black stations. Where do you think the white people got their song and style from? A white person? No, from the N's. The white people were trying to emulate the Black people. DUH This song is for you, whtpwr. Ha ha ha ha ha......
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yea you really have no idea what you're talking about do you lmao. Blacks invented doo wop, & most of the popular music of the 40-50's...actually fuck that we invented ALL of the popular music of the past 70 years. We started Jazz,Doo Wop,R&B,Hip-Hop & Rock. Yall crackers saw dollar signs in it & stole it. But once the Mafia got involved they stole it from yall lol.
LMFAO you prick you have no idea what you're pimple poppin' ass is talking about. ITALIANS!!!! made doo-wop popular, you "honkies" just tried to hop on the band wagon just like you guys do with EVERYTHING!!! you "crackers" gave us jobs???? you serious??? BROOKLYN MAFIA gave your people & my people jobs you dumb ass. you pink in the face whites would of been singing doo-wop in your grand fathers living room if it wasn't for early New York mafiosos.
Well regardless of your personal level of ignorance, you don't appear to be a particularly smart person.
In that regard, you represent your race very well. Continue taking "gansta" pics, abusing the English language, acting like a clown, and blaming Whitey for all your problems.
I call you kid, cause thats what you are in my eyes. A CHILD, you can be 47 for all I care, you're still a kid child to me.
And talking about my pics lmao I must not be too much of an ignorant person seeing as you cared enough to click my name & check up on me lol. I'm flattered...really I am. Now go say goodnight to your mom before you go to bed kid, & dont forget to thank her for that nice meal she cooked tonight. Maybe one day you'll be a man & move out, but for now you're still a KID lol.
Dont front, you know you understood every word I wrote lol so you can cut the bullshit kid.
I still dont understand, if Im so ignorant & you're intellectually superior to me....then why do I strike any desire in you to check my profile? lol that doesn't seem logical.
If Im so ignorant I guess ignorance must be appealing to you.
Ignorance is appealing to me? How do you surmise that?
As for looking at your profile, I wanted to know exactly what kind of moron I was dealing with. You're just another slack-jawed bit of trash from the streets.
And call me a kid as much as you want. I'm twice as mature and probably ten times more intelligent than you will ever be.
uh oh, he's angry lol give it a rest kid, this was fun for maybe the first day, but now...come on bro you're trying too hard.
But, dont stop now ok, we're over here cracking up lol
LOSER!!!!!!
^
^
^
That was Melody, she wanted to put her 2 cents in, everyone else is calling you a faggot, but I'll just call you a "bitch" I think that one is a more suitable character phrase lol lmao!!!
2. Get out more, dudes dont drink 40's anymore lol this isn't 1994
3. Melody does have a nice ass but she's white lol
see thats the difference between you & I, I actually have friends & guess what.....they dont all look alike. some are black,some are brown,some are white,some are asian,some are smart & smart can be dumb at times. But here's the kicker...WE ALL GET ALONG! and thank you because you gave us all a GREAT laugh that we enjoyed TOGETHER.
You wanna know something really funny? Anytime someone on the internet says,
"My friends are all sitting here laughing at you",
It actually means,
"I'm sitting here alone desperately trying to think up comebacks."
And in the extremely slim chance that you showed your friends this conversation, and they're getting a good laugh, tell them that if they think I'm funny on YouTube, they outta catch my stand-up routine.
LMFAO!!!! Im glad mother is dead, she wont have to live watching her racist son being a failure with dreams of being a no talent comic.
Why dont you make her proud & give up your ignorant outlook on blacks,Hispanics & any other bigotry you might have towards any other race?
I dont know if your mom was a good person or not, but judging by the son she raised Im guessing the bitch had no clue what a dick for a son she made. Now go cry about ya dead mother.....she's worm food LMAO!!!
Dude aren't you supposed to be crying? Fuck you & your dead mother. It doesn't matter what you write from now on, my only response is going to be "your mother's dead, your mothers dead haha your mothers dead" I want you to picture you mother's dead body decaying with worms feeding off her flesh.
so call me a spic, nigger, ghetto trash or whatever you decide to call me. your moms dead bro, and she's watching you right now in disgust of what you've become.
I am impressed that there are so many MATURE DUCKS who remember this music and know how to enjoy it again. Thank you UTUBE. Wish we had U back in the 50's
Just a timeless classic from the Late 50's. I so remember seeing the group do this on " AB " . Janet, we miss you so much, but Donna, you are total class & your voice is gorgeous. Wolfsky9
Wolfsky9: My first car, in 1966, was a '58 Bel Air, beige with gold interior. At the same time, my mom had a '58 Biscayne. Ya had to love those old boats!
my first car was a 1965 ford galaxie 2-door hardtop. i bought it when i was 15. my dad helped me restore it, and we had it ready when i turned 16. i would get my buddies and we would head down to cruise the dock on friday night. we would listen to oldies on the factory am radio. and this was in 1990.
My 1st car, in 1964 : a '58 Chevy Impala, 348 V-8, red, with white interior; it was sooooo fine, & I loved it, almost as much as I loved hearing Janet, Jimmy & the guys do these songs! This music is Forever, & Donna, you are just a total-Babe! Wolfsky9
There isn't a time that I go out driving in my '57 Chevy or '64 Impala that I don't have "Since I don't have you" or "this I swear" playing on my car stereo. Through those of us that were there, Doo Wop shall be passed on to future generations, and never die. Love those Skyliners!
I'm 54 now...trust me man, it's never too late to live your life the way you want...I do this all the time...It's like the 50's music I listen to...because I live it, and they see me living my dreams, they believe they can live their dreams as well...whatever their dreams may be...As for the '57 I kept that dream alive until one day I found a guy that just about gave it to me ...Make the decision today to live your dreams...I'll be here to cheer you on Man....and so will the Doo Wop!
@NurzDan I played it in a 59 Impala and lots of other cars back then and it´s perfect today in a 56 Willys Truck. The girls a changing but the music are still the same, all beautyful...
When I 1st heard this song done at this concert, my eyes teared up, and I was just overwhelmed with sadness & loss for this wonderful music, & all those years. Where did they go, & why did they go so fast?? Jimmy, Donna, & guys, you are magnificent. Wolfsky9

There are thousands of songs by hundreds of groups that may be heads above what you hear today - if only you give them a chance. Then, it was about feelings - the kind you get inside. Listen, ask, and learn of those times and you will grow to heights you only now dream of. "Since I Don't Have You" is legend - it rolls with pure feeling.

I can hardly write this `cos my eyes keep welling up with tears of sheer emotion ! This is the music of the angels - straight out of heaven.....and it`s way way way above and beyond about 99% of any other popular music in all of history !

Donna Groom did wonderfully well on the PBS special also with "The Tokens" when they did their hit "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". For some reason though it was partially taken off YouTube. The video is there but no sound.

The "niggers" invented do wop. The white people only had hit songs because they could get record contracts. The "N's" didn't have distribution deals with big record companies, so their do wop songs were not played on popular radio. Only on the black stations. Where do you think the white people got their song and style from? A white person? No, from the N's. The white people were trying to emulate the Black people. DUH This song is for you, whtpwr. Ha ha ha ha ha......

Yea you really have no idea what you're talking about do you lmao. Blacks invented doo wop, & most of the popular music of the 40-50's...actually fuck that we invented ALL of the popular music of the past 70 years. We started Jazz,Doo Wop,R&B,Hip-Hop & Rock. Yall crackers saw dollar signs in it & stole it. But once the Mafia got involved they stole it from yall lol.
ChuloBadGuy 2 years ago
Actually, Doo Wop was not invented by blacks.
If it wasn't for us crackers, you niggers would still be strumming banjos on your porches.
Us honkies gave you darkies jobs and recorded your black asses.
I'll admit, you started R&B, but you also fucked up the genre good and well. Let's see a single mainstream black man record good music now-a-days.

BROOKLYN MAFIA gave your people & my people jobs you dumb ass. you pink in the face whites would of been singing doo-wop in your grand fathers living room if it wasn't for early New York mafiosos.

By the way, you do realize that La Cosa Nostra is NOT ITALIAN? They were Sicilian, shit-for-brains!
And why are you separating Whites from Mafiosi? Are Mafia men not white or something? Did blacks invent the Mafia too over in Africa?
I'd tell you to open a history book, and read it, but I don't think you Blacks can read.

Well regardless of your personal level of ignorance, you don't appear to be a particularly smart person.
In that regard, you represent your race very well. Continue taking "gansta" pics, abusing the English language, acting like a clown, and blaming Whitey for all your problems.

And talking about my pics lmao I must not be too much of an ignorant person seeing as you cared enough to click my name & check up on me lol. I'm flattered...really I am. Now go say goodnight to your mom before you go to bed kid, & dont forget to thank her for that nice meal she cooked tonight. Maybe one day you'll be a man & move out, but for now you're still a KID lol.

Holy shit dude, I can't even begin to understand what you're trying to say there.

I still dont understand, if Im so ignorant & you're intellectually superior to me....then why do I strike any desire in you to check my profile? lol that doesn't seem logical.
If Im so ignorant I guess ignorance must be appealing to you.

As for looking at your profile, I wanted to know exactly what kind of moron I was dealing with. You're just another slack-jawed bit of trash from the streets.

ChuloBadGuy 2 years ago
You wanna know something really funny? Anytime someone on the internet says,
"My friends are all sitting here laughing at you",
It actually means,
"I'm sitting here alone desperately trying to think up comebacks."
And in the extremely slim chance that you showed your friends this conversation, and they're getting a good laugh, tell them that if they think I'm funny on YouTube, they outta catch my stand-up routine.

Why dont you make her proud & give up your ignorant outlook on blacks,Hispanics & any other bigotry you might have towards any other race?
I dont know if your mom was a good person or not, but judging by the son she raised Im guessing the bitch had no clue what a dick for a son she made. Now go cry about ya dead mother.....she's worm food LMAO!!!

My comment about stand-up comedy was me being facetious.
And I think you misunderstand me. I don't hate Blacks and Hispanics; I just hate lazy, Black gang-bangers and illegal immigrants.
You can call me a racist if you want, but I'm an equal-opportunity jackass. I don't pretend that everyone from every race can just be friends.
I'm not the one pretending that I have no prejudices. I bet even you are racist to an extent.
