Wow....unbelievable voice and fantastic song....they don't make songs with such great harmony and lyrics anymore.....thanks for putting this one up....
You're a pretty nasty dude, feeb gary. Just expressing an opinion. Gale Storm's version was the national hit. This other garage version just a local one. Grow up.
I remember a kid with hair slicked up,a white tee shirt with cigarettes rolled up in one sleeve,leaning on the windshield of a 54 buick convertable talking to two girls inside it.this was the song coming from the car at the time. I was just a kid. it's funny what things stick in your mind all these years later at 58.
grew up in philly listening to doo wop, danced to this song on bandstand in the late 50's gerry blavat harvey holiday, georgie woods, now that's going back. DOO WOP FOREVER!
I am 28 and love this song. I cannot think of any current signer who could sing this song as great as Lynne Nixon. Mezzo soprano Renne Flemming would probably do a good job with the song.
@walterconklin the only problem with Mezzo soprano Renne Fleming singing this song... Ms. FLeming is a opera singer.... it's doubtful thet she could sing it maybe a first soprano could sing ti?
@Grisbi6 yeah this song has been played in alot of films .Sopranos, Good fellas,The Departed etc: so yea none the the less this song does get around and used in weird ways.
Wow, I remember this song. I was in the 8th grade and was starting to more of girls and listening to this wonderful music. Gosh, we were lucky back then.
I should be grading poetry essays just now, but this song keeps luring me to my doom. Lynne's voice at about 57 where she says "You broke my heart," that slight rise...reminds me of the poet Wallace Stevens calls "liquid lingerings." I'm 52 now, and always hearing great new music.
I just had to reply to your post. I was born in '57, which makes me about 10 years too late for this song as I started dancin' and finger poppin' around 8 years old. Martin Scorsese, from Liitle Italy NY, plays this in his first feature film "Meanstreets." Brooklyn and Bronx have some great music--those Chantels and this group! I'm a Kentucky boy, but I looove your sounds. Peace from the South.

Check out Gale Storm's version of this song. Her voice is much more pleasant, not so sharp and jarring.

I don't understand the reference to The Sopranos, but I know that this song was in the background of an early Mad Men episode....

In years to come when the kids want to hear what real music sounded like they will go on here and stumble upon this beautiful song!

I remember this song from my single days.
Great, unremembered song. It was a background melody in an episode of Mad Men.
