The Fireflies-You Were Mine

[gamecock366]

If the Beatles recorded this, I think either John or Paul could've sung lead. What do my fellow Beatles fans think

[frisco19411]

grew up in san antonio, texas during the oldies era, ah to be back in thse days again...

[Rjay290]

Great song I remember it well.

[LeeLeeDe1]

Timeless.........wonderful song!!!! This is G-R-E-A-T !!! Thanks for taking me back to my youth!!!!

[ChicanoTattooArt]

I love this song, reminds me when I was a 15 year old youngster.

[Paulandthefireflies]

There is exclusive footage and photos and I put up videos of live concerts uncut for you to watch. On my channel there is also links to the official website and a facebook page for us.

[Paulandthefireflies]

@petelopez67 You know what's bad? You're spelling :P

[Thirsty4Edward]

And why would anyone dislike this????

[Thirsty4Edward]

Hey guys, to anyone watching the video I want you to check out The Fireflies website because they have a concert tomorrow. My grandpa is the man who wrote this song and started the group, Paul Giacalone :)

[lenvis64]

@Teeno7687 I agree flawless time period.......period.

[Teeno7687]

Forget race, just listen to the flawless music created by the truly talented people of our past. As most people with a good ear for music would say, this represents the best time in music, clean, innocent, and just plain beautiful.

[starpowercycle]

a nice song by a white group. I especially like the female background. This is the same pattern on my all time favorite song by a white group Miss You by the Pittsburg Holidays. Have you voted for your all time favorite doo wop of the fifties? Four categories all black group, all white, mixed and duets

[djangoman2008]

Thanks for this great one!!! Dj

[Vintageart1994]

Beautiful song!

[javier181996]

[herbertkearse]

Are any of the members of this group still alive today? If so, what have they been up to?

[Zombiee95]

Nicee song :)

[LeeLeeDe1]

Is there a better song about "Youthful Love"....about 1st love and how wonderfully sweet it was??? This is the Best of the Best. Any one who is too young to have lived it, you missed out~~~~~~~~~~~BIG TIME!! Mmmmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmmm

[koldslaw]

Lets go skateboarding on grandpas Dodge 74

[pagliaccinodlemantra]

[buckdowner]

When you are twelve years old and very, very shy but HIGHLY attracted to the overly mature girls of that age; and one of them tells her friends she thinks your cute, well the hormones go explosive. You tell your mother that you want to go to the hop and she says: "You, want to go to a dance?" But why? She found out later just 'why...' I was a dead ringer for Ricky Nelson...

[njva17420]

@buckdowner I was 14 when this song came out, but I had a similar response. SClose dancing to songs like this raised the body's temperature -- both mine and my partner's -- scary as hell but very exciting! Lots of new feelings.

[krbwjbarry]

What a beautiful song. Great background sound. THANKS for posting this hit from the late 50's (which was the greatest music era of all time IMO)

[jm818809]

I was a teenager back then,I can say i was there from the beginning and as far as i can tell I'm now seeing the end.

[chucksterberg]

@jm818809 ... rock and roll is here to stay, it will never die!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's been more than 50 years and you still think it will die??????????? Never!!!!!!!!!! This music is everlasting, and I was there with you at the beginning, and as great as the sound of this music, it will last infinitely!!!! cya

[smokingolejerry]

@jm818809 I'm with you on that my friend

[1863year]

I was a DJ at Orlando AFB in the mid-60's and had a dance party on Tuesday and Saturday nights....This was requesteed many times and I usually made it a ladie's choice - thanks for the song....What a great time and this song reflects it......

[jsiggyny]

The lead singer is definitely Richie Adams, a Bishop Loughlin graduate, and writer of "After the Loving", "Tossin and Turning" and others.(Brooklyn).

[ChicanoTattooArt]

1991 when i first heard this on this album, they changed the songs around once the cds came out.

[judeciccolella]

IT WON'T EVER DIE

[bernadettestar]

Heavenly!

[kvssgh]

Awesome memories! KVS Class of '61

[djangoman2008]

Thanks for this one - still get a break in my heart when I heaar it -sweet misery -Dj

[Covellos1]

I just recognised "The Fireflies". I couldn't remember what they did. As soon as this started I remembered it. Man! I don't now how long it's been since I've heard this. Did this chart? I love it!

[lajas46]

@Covellos1  it hit the billboard chart at #21

[stringysue22]

wow what soul this music has , these days its rubbish! oldies win everytime , my 7 year old love it too!

[greyhound7815]

Great song from 1959 and still outbeat today's TRASH.

[LorraineNYYcfl]

@greyhound7815 Butch the lead singer was my mothers second cousin. I loved this song. He died of a heart attack pretty young.

[ronetteloverz]

@greyhound7815...Can you imagine Fitty-Cent trying to sing this??...

[herbertkearse]

Even Though I"m only 46 years old, I have always loved that song

[bobaloo47]

LOVE IT

[johnfleff]

This song sure bring to life many fond memories of the past...Life sure went by fast but it was all fun. I never really had a bad day

[aztecqueen909]

"you were really really mine and i kno that our love was a love true love but now since your gone im so sad and alone"

[speedviper47]

I remember playing this at our first sock hop back in 1982. I know it was much older, but my friend and I began an oldies radio show and it took off into much more. Love this song, it brings back many fond memories. I can see the poodle skirts and the guys in their slicked back hair, jeans and white shirts.

[Tejano44]

Yes ! I can see them too !

[hxo20292]

The Lead singer is NOT Gerry Granahan. Richie Adams was the lead singer on this song

[keepsmilingxxo]

[ChicanoTattooArt]

omg I remember this was one of my favorite oldie song when I first heard it back in 1991!

[wismedium]

Broke my heart,that's what the bitch did.

[thefaithfulfairy55]

Wow. So many people like this kind of music. My grandfather is Paul Giacalone. He started the band and write the hit songs you were mine and I can't say good-bye. I love him. And yes he's still performing I just went to one of his concerts yesterday IT WAS PACKED!! you had to park like a block away!!!

[KauaiIsLove]

I was there too! In Oyster Bay!

Your grandfather and the rest of the group were great! We sat right behind and visited with the Fireflies family and friends!!

[zealous4him]

I broke up with the woman i love over a lie,I dedicated this song to her....I serve God full time now

[commentmutant]

damn what was the lie?

[zealous4him]

i ASK HER IF SHE EVER CHEATED ON HER EX AND SHE SAID NO ,COME TO FIND OUT SHE DID WITH MY FRIEND WHICH SHE DIDNT KNOW I KNEW HIM.EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS BEFORE ME THE POINT OF THE MATTER IS SHE LIED TO ME .IF SHE COULD LIE TO ME ABOUT THAT WHAT ELSE COULD SHE LIED TO ME ABOUT

[kawentzmann]

She was just afraid to loose you, man!

[zealous4him]

Yeah but this she lied before i got into a relationship,if she lied then she would lie now.

[kawentzmann]

And then theres those that tell the truth form the start. Dont feel too save with them, because they can lie when it counts for them.

[zealous4him]

This is true,I rather take my chances on the one who tells the truth at first.

[rbx937385]

This song gives me some real Vivid memories, I actually would never play this alone in my apt, Not that it's my Favorite of all time, It isn't, But, it has some Strong Emotional Memories attached to the song, That I recall. Thanks!

[PonderingPig]

The tail end of the great doo-wop era. Still really nice.

[45sGuy]

Another cool 1959 record I have on the Warwick label! In fact, several copies! Great doo-wop!
