Born To Be With You by The Chordettes

[mkl62]

This hit by The Chordettes hit #5 on the Top 40 charts and #8 in the United Kingdom. It would finish at #37 for the year, 1956. And the hits are getting bigger.

@sonyahannah...You tinker ,you gave me the fright of my life .

....I'v loved this music from forever .Back then I was a "Para" born in '37 .

....Back then a Boomer was a big red kangeroo .

....This did not pierce my heart .It did grab my attention .

....Thank's for the memorie's .

[tkyaheya]

Well I love this song as much as the others do! I was born in 1951 and loved this track always!! Thanks for posting it to YT...

[MMiraJeS]

Wow even my dad was very young in 56 (one year old)!

[sonyahannah]

I actually ENJOY crying on my keyboard nightly, as I investigate the latest uploads designed to pierce the hearts of Boomers. . . and, of course, bemoaning that "they just don't write songs like that any more," [conveniently forgetting my adoration for Doo Wop, hardly a "sensible" genre.]

[lltpopeye]

I still love this song after all these years. It really takes me back to a time I loved so well.

[bobanderika1]

I was working outside on a very hot day in victoria b. c., sweat pouring down! Along the waterfront comes a handsome  dude with his gorgeous girl friend in a long convertable and the radio was blaring out this song. I started to turn green with envy and When I hear this haunting song I`m right back in 1956 slaving away and jealous as hell !!

@vanillatwilight3680 .

...Young British Person .You say "Not all that bad" .How dare you .

...In '57 I was a new Canadian (ex-brit ) training to be a Para in the CDN Army .Listening and dancing to this "SUPER" music .

...If it were possible ,you should be taken .by water ,through Traitor's Gate to lose your head on the lawn .

...P.S. Give or take .

[cuteoldguy]

..@freezingmoon21 .....Hey Luna .

...I wish I could show you how we danced to this in '57 .

...I was 20 ,cute as a button ,still am .

[cuteoldguy]

@mrshiznizz123 ......Like you I wish I was born in the '70's .....I'm a'30's kid (read old fart) .

...If you like this music you are accepted and welcome forever .

[mrshiznizz123]

i wish i was born in the 70s or something :'( im a 90's kid do you guys accept me ?

[jgmagoo1]

@mrshiznizz123  Certainly~ Good taste in music knows no age limits.

[eustaquiamatta]

you know a song's good when it has 0 dislikes =D

[GummibarLuvr910]

looking at their Lollipop video...just compare it to the ones we have now, where the chicks are almost naked and kindof agressive lyrics....OMG, what is this world coming to???

I really hope I have fun in high school.... by the way some people past say it, wow.... and I wish I could witness jukeboxes and cheap burgers. Yum.

P.S. Am I the only young person on YouTube, seems like it, add thumbs if you are under 80 years old.

[mediattackrecords]

Great, uplifting, music. Real, sweet, Rock 'n' Roll.

[freezingmoon21]

I'm proud to be listening to this in 2011 when I'm 16 :D

[TheNigelc8]

Beautiful

[vanillatwilight3680]

am i the only young british person listening to this? 2011's not all that bad.. :)

[purbrookian]

Me too. Would give anything to go back to 1956.

[firelocket]

hope you have as good a time in high school as I did

[jubabeastgunn]

Damn I miss real jukeboxes, 45 cent hamburger deluxes, and a girl you could buy this single 45 for. It sure ain't like it used to be.

[artistry6781]

Check out the Rita Williams Version on the Embassy records label its different but its great.

[doowoppingchainsawer]

I like how you think it is over and then they add one more note.

[slim6744]

I was 21 years old when I heard this song, coming from a jukebox inside the cafeteria of the local YMCA of Manila, Philippines. I simply loved it.....You know when you like a certain sound of music...you become MESMERIZED by it. It's like a beautiful memory, it's pleasant and soothing. The year was 1956...oh what a year that was. There is no better way to bring back memories.....than music.

[ootooshohnuh]

close tour eyes and go back to another time

wado for posting

[slim6744]

"Since I was born to be with you" The whistle part was the worst piece of the song. Couldn't someone have thought about a PICCOLO? There must be an instrument emitting very high frequencies to take the place of a human whistle. THAT would have been quite an IMPROVEMENT. Whoever human did the whistling, he was CHOKING on the wind that came of his WHISTLE. If you listen carefully...you will notice this.

[mouse12345ify]

STILL AWESOME IN 2011

[HoboGus]

WOW!!! I've always loved this song but never knew who performed it until now thanks to You tube. Thanks for sharing.

[gittar1]

yeah..lady gAGA..BLABLA!..THIS IS REAL STUFF!

[MrBIGserb91]

i love it so much...

[Bluejeans0701]

The melody line is very nice and solid. Few artists would release songs like this now. I love the whistle part of this song. Thanks for posting this clip.

[guirexyz]

Thanks! I just harmonized with them!

[123yfm]

wonderful

[skudaarkaat1]

It's so obvious WHY!!! Where is harmony like this?? Lady GAGA? Don't make me laugh!!!

[munchkin440]

I first heard this after returning from Malaya, after serving in the army there. It was the closest to the harmonies of the Fiji army who were with us. I still think it is one of the most beautiful songs ever,. Oh yes there are still some of us old fogies over 70 who are still around and still listening and playing good music. See ya all.

[billboy508]

hAS BEEN ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVOURITES SINCE I FIRST HEARD IT WHILST SERVING IN THE RAF IN CEYLON AND IT STILLSENDS A SHIVER DOWN MY SPINE!

[superthe1st]

wow, I didnt know 70 year olds were on youtube

[lauvang12]

@superthe1st We are born with musik, and die with it.

[Zoloph21]

In 1956 I was 89 years old! Haven't heard this song in ages! Brings back so many memories that I cannot recall. Where am I?

[superthe1st]

@Zoloph21  dead

[123yfm]

@Zoloph21 your in heaven

[Labaron26]

@Zoloph21 Wow....that makes you about 143 years old now....and I thought I was old....

[JGMagoo]

@Labaron26 Do the math. Born 1939....71 now...I still LOVE this song. Can't remember exactly who it was I was in love with though!

;o)

[Labaron26]

@JGMagoo I did....I quote:.... "In 1956 I was 89 years old!"......You said you were 89 years old in 1956, .....I was only 22 years old in 1956.....hehehehehe.

[123yfm]

[072740]

I do believe I've gone to heaven and died. It's been 54 years since I've heard this glorious song. A million thanks fo rposting it.

[ArchieLindsay]

In 1956 I was 15 years old and in love. I'll NEVER forget this song! Couldn't put it better, thanks for posting from me too.

[jeanina0708]

@ArchieLindsay you were 15 when world war 2 started? im sorry...

[Operalover12002]

I always admire the songs made up until the 1960s for their lovely melody lines.

And this song is one of what I recognize as masterpieces!

Thanks for posting it.

[daylightlover]

thank you. R.

[dwitty06]

Great song. I was a sophmore in college and would hear it on the jukebox in the cafe where I worked washing dishes for 65 cents per hour.

[lauvang12]

The same here. I used to sing it with my sisters. I`m born in1938

[JGMagoo]

In 1956 I was 17-years old and in love.

I'll NEVER forget this song!!

Thanks for posting!

[jay1jayf]

damn son you are old ..., i love having old schools around here i love history

[amabilis77]

same here....there's nothing more enjoyable than talking with my dad about when he grew up while we're driving down some old road or hearing my mom tell me about the days :D

[EkoJisBack]

i was so small

[bawdybill]

If you like this you'll probably like Tompal Glaser and the Glaser Brothers version of "Loving Her Was Easier Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again". Siblings are biologically tuned to sing well with each other when they aren't in rivalry mode.

[justmusicandme]

@bawdybill : Two words: Everly Brothers. LOL (I also appreciate Tompall and the Glasers!)

[213brito131]

hello a jukebox cool!!!

[Superlion57]

Loved this song since it first came out now i love my grandson even more

[bawdybill]

Been in love with this song for over 50 years and now I know where to hear it whenever I want. Thanks for the posting

[bodibem]

Im not in love with this sound since 50 years... Near one week but i going to love it that long like you :D

[BrickPa]

@bawdybill Yep ! It's a great tune and depending on your mood you can choose the Chordettes or Sonny James and it's still great.

[1937Kenny]

Ive been searching for this since the old volkswagon advert on UK TV. Thanks so much for posting thiis. Loved it then - love it now.

[janetblacksmith]

From the good ole days.....happier times!

[curlingnf]

Wonderful Memories. Thanks for posting.

[firelocket]

There are so many of us out there who love these great old songs from our high school years...thanks

[dablulurox]

@firelocket and hopefully a growing number of us going to be or already in highschool who love old songs!

[justmusicandme]

I never thought I'd hear this again---I remember it so well, my favorite song by the best girl group! Thanks!

[dsloveswva]

this was my parents' song when they were dating; we're celebrating their 50th anniversary this year, and i'm so glad to find this song! thank you.
