this is where amy winehouse got so much of her inspiration. RIP to amy and marge and Mary Ann may you all RIP and live on/rock on Betty and mary. im 16 and love this group so much.
I always cry when I think of my Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandfather when he died at the Battle of Crecy in 1346. The Hundred Years War was horrific on both sides!
Unfortunately, the song and the group were on the wrong side in the Vietnam controversy. However, a lot of us were in 1966. It's a great song-the politics of it just bother me.
This video made me cry-It reminded me of when my Brother was sent to vietnam and his girlfriend would always cry and pray that he would come home safe ,thank GOD he did. My Dad and Brother are Marines and my other Brother Navy.
I can't believe that this song isn't played on the radio during this
war that we are in.
Thank you for the video it is Excellent!! and thak you for your service. You are a true Hero to me.
@75surfgirl Thank you for the kind words...Your Dad, and two brothers are the true heros. I thank them for their service. God Bless all of our troops and please bring them home...
Raider: Thanks so much for this video. Very well put together. As great today as it was during the Vietnam War and applies to today. Thanks again. My favorite girl group also.
When Johnny come marching home again hooray, hoorah. Long live our love Long live our happiness heres a toast to happiness long live our love We were childhood sweethearts We had made a simple vow Vowed to love each other And I know we won't stop now Long live our love Long live our happiness Here's a toast to happiness Long live our love Something comes between us And it's not another girl But alot of people need you There is trouble in the world
It's the fight that has come in between us And it's taken you far, far away But, please don't wonder if I'll be faithful Your in my heart both night and day So darling I send my love to you While you are fighting overseas And I know one day if we are lucky God will send you back to me Long live our love Long live our Happiness Here's a toast to happiness long live our love Please! Lord don't let anything happen to him, Please! I'm waiting for you Johnny I'm waiting
Great tribute song to our troops of yesteryear and today. Great post! Wished this was played more on the radio and dedicated to the families and loved ones of our fine military.
There were 4 members. The Shangri-Las consisted of two sets of sisters. Mary Weiss (lead singer) and Elizabeth "Betty" Weiss, as well as identical twins Marguerite "Marge" and Mary Ann Ganser. According to an interview with Mary, at different times, everyone but her left the group for a time. That is why you will see three, and not always the same three, and sometimes four. The one constant was Mary.
Agree wholeheartedly w/ aftechie. Perfect. What a moving tribute; never seen one better done than this. Tears. Unexpected, but it really fits. Excellent job, and God bless and save our brave fighting men and women.
Great job. Thanks for posting this! It's interesting that today BOTH men and women service personel are in direct danger-there are no more 'frontlines' as in conventional wars of the past.
I like the pictures that appear at the :38 and :58 marks, which I assume are from the 70s, after one of the Ganser twins died. You don't see too many of those.
The Shangri Las,...owwwwwwwwww
