  • LOVE IT!!!

  • One of the best groups ever!

    The Pride of Richmond.VA.

  • hUMMMMMMMMMMMMM.............I feel hot! lol

  • This is without any doubt, the best version ever. The Jarmels blew ever other artist away. OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Saw the Jarmels in Virginia Saturday, as part of huge multi-group review. It wasn't the same with the different lead, but still a good performance. The show itself, by the way, was fantastic (Flamingos, Jive Five, Shirley Alston, Vogues, Tokens, etc., etc.).

  • Taking a classic standard such as this one by Jerome Kern and re-arainging it uptemp incurs a heavy risk. The Jarmels took a chance and won. I love their version!!!

  • One of the great B-sides in the genre! Love it now for almost 50 years!!!

  • One of the great B-sides of all time for this guy!

  • fantastic

  • Man, all I can say is Wow ! What a performance, love it Gil.

  • i love this song... i love the jarmels... i love the original but this is by far the best version!

  • It's not EZ to take a Jerome Kern classic from the 1930's and redo it as an uptempo doowop and soud great but the Jarmels did it!!!

  • How Magnificent This Is , Could Listen Forever. Wish we had more of this music Now ! Miss It,From The Good Old Days. Pat

  • Excellent. Thanks very  much.

  • There is nothing better than this on You Tube . Period.

  • No doubt about it, Paul Burnett was pure talent. And, don't forget the rest of the Jarmels. Paul, and the rest of the guys are as cool as a cucumber. I'm going to try, and do a 24/7, and play this song.

  • Such a great song-no one does it better then the Jarmels

  • Probably the most underrated group of the early sixty's!..This shit is LIVE!!

    Paul on lead is the coolest!!

    the boys in the back are ON!!!

    you can't make this SHIT UP!!..Some say nice VERSION?What the Fuck are they talking about?

    THIS IS THE BEST VERSION! THE ONLY VERSION!

  • Love the song itself --listened to way to many versions over the years..I always listen with a open mind and a hopeful heart but no one-solo or group has ever even came close to the Jarmel's..And Yes,Paul is very definitely Cool

  • Gill, Right on point! Paul was the CHAMPION! He, along with our New York crew (Gene Pitt and the Jive5, Willie Winfield, and of course The Great Cleveland Stills are amongst my all time favs. TY for this video. Is there a way I can puchase any of these great performances? Oh and BTW, NO version of this song (yes Frank Sinatra included) can TOUCH The Jarmels!

  • @gilltorres The Lettermen also did a fantastic version and released it the same year & charted #13. I don't believe the Jarmels even charted with this side because the flip " A Little Bit Of Soap" was the hit. gilltorres I would reconsider your statement.

  • @dowopper51 In this instance charting isn't relevant. What he's obviously saying that the Jarmels DEFINED the song, whether it was buried on a B side or not. (Back in those days when we didn't own a lot of records, we always wound up listening to both sides!) Who would ever want to hear the Lettermen after hearing this?

  • Nice version, I like everything about it, harmony, Lead singer put together very well. Miss UGHA they had the best groups

  • thanks Gil, I was there as well . in the front row for a change. This guy took my breath away. jack strong

  • Just two words: so great!

    Another song to cherish and still so good sounding after all these years. It's always a treat to hear this music brought by heavenly voices. Also, don't forget about the great version by The Jaguars, from 1956...

  • This makes me wish that I could sing! They sound so good. Thanks so much. Philly's my hometown!

  • Can't get over this-how great Paul Burnett sounded.

  • Pul and the the great bass passed on close to each other and that was it for this great vocal group.We were fortunate that we saw them when we did.Bunch of times at UGHA and once at Radio Caity Music Hall.Thanks again Gil.

  • The Jarmels, another outstanding sound. Doo-Wop, the greatest sounding music to one's ear.

  • Thank you Gil Torres for posting this fabulous song. In 1961 when we had 45 singles I intended to play "A Little Bit Of Soap" and put the B-side "The Way You Look Tonight" on by accident and I was pleasantly surprised. The string arrangement on this tune is outstanding. Now 47 years later thanks to you I finally get a chance to see The Jarmels perform one of my all time favorites. Would you by any chance have the follow-up, "I Will Follow You"?

  • my name is Paul Burnett. We are both Great!!! haha

  • Fantastic video, Gill! Paul Burnett sounds just as he did 40 years ago when I heard his

    beautiful voice in Kaiserslautern, Germany.

    Thanks so much for posting.

    RIP, Paul.

  • it was a great time we had in philly that nite,paul and I spent about an hour talking about Bobby lester and his Moonglows,he was huge moonglow fan..lol..

  • This is fantastic!..These cats were the best thing appearing at UGHA at the time.
