Oh Lori Archive

[bobbyalessi]

Hi Lori!

[Sunset7free]

:D I like so much this song because my name is Lori...and it's not very common!!

[HabboDepaul]

Am I glad my last name is Alessie :D

[MrRajabelle]

oh __________

[Bayofshells]

What a class number. Song writers and singers can learn so much about how it should be done by listening to this track or any of your work. This song MUST be rereleased, everybody in the world seems Sooooo depressed and this fantastic number can cheer everyone up. Boy can this do it. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT

[BlacKidX11]

Wow all these comments of people who are way older than me, I'm 15 years old and am into this song like crazy. From the first time I heard it the harmonies hit me and I was hooked. Thanks guys you've gained yourself a "younger" fan, but a fan none the less.

Thanks again.

:)

[lisalewis401]

I love this song! It reminds me of the summer of 77 when I was just 13 and my first boyfriend! It brings back the memories of that summer so clearly! Wish I was back there - 13 again, oh the carefree days of youth! xx

[bobbyalessi]

blushing!

[TheNoisybird]

you were the best looking boys on earth..

[bobbyalessi]

thanks so much, that's a great compliment. It's nice hearing how our music has effected peoples lives around the world.

cheers,

~bobby

[BeachFilms]

Oh Lori will always remind of growing up in the west Wales countryside aged 10. The track charted here in the UK around May 1977 so it makes sense it evokes long sunny afternoons, girls riding horses and falling in love with them. Thank you both.

[tomxixtus]

Reminds me so much of my childhood.

Moments in my life.

Thankyou.

[RonZabrocki]

Man...this holds up! Great recording by a couple of really talented guys!

[rino19ny]

haha! reminds me of my childhood as i was growing up during the 70s :)

one of the best real music out there.

[rfnecio]

great track! timeless classic :) the guy in jacket @ 3:02 has 3 hands

[poisondartfrog43]

Being named Lori, this is my new favorite song ;)

[balfnet]

This is a fantastic, under-rated song.

[heatherhsps]

Blimey - still sounds just as good as when I hitch-hiked to London from the North of England as a 16 year old, with a lovely (older) man, Pete. My Mum would have gone mad, had she known!!

Thanks very much xx,

[empoyrule]

you guys rock!!!

[1960janey]

hey, cool. oh lori. fab track.x

[1960janey]

[bobbyalessi]

Thanks so much!

~bobby & billy

[hrhqueenofmean]

OMG! I love, love, love this song! I was quite young when I first heard it, and only vaguely remembered the lyrics "Oh Lori" and the bit about riding a bicycle, the rest of the lyrics were lost in my young and foggy memory... BUT the melody stayed with me over the years. Such a brilliant 'feel good' song.  I'm slightly addicted to the video now - cant stop watching it!!! : )

[Logane85]

thanks thanks and thanks

[Logane85]

@bobbyalessi hi! i love your song soooo much! would you believe i fell in love with it since i was 8 years old! and it's been a week now that i'm listening to it over and over again everyday with my husband who enjoys it too! so glad you guys are still playing. hope you'll visit the Philippines soon! =)

[melu063082]

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!! I was born in 1982 and I appreciate this song very much because it is far incomparable to the music nowadays. When I heard this I searched for it immediately in youtube and I watched it everyday for numerous times since then. The Alessi brothers are so cute in their earlier times but they have become more handsome as time passed. I wish you can perform here in the Philippines. God bless you Billy and Bobby!

[bobbyalessi]

Thanks Steve! Here's to a happy New Year to you and yours!

Cheers,

~bobby

[noyp28s]

I LOVE this tune. Almost forgot about this until I stumbled upon this. What makes it special now is my wife's name is Lorie :-) Thanks for posting this. You just made my week-end.

[Davejimjr]

[Mondasian]

I've always loved this song - an all time classic.

[Daysiebell]

Oh wow, this is so long ago. So lovely to hear this again! I was 15 at the time, I LOVED your music (still do). Do you guys still make music?

[dalesbiker1]

OMG - i met my first love duing a disco play of this record - i loved you guys sooooo much. Good times....

[TheJohnnyh61]

[MrDoncos]

A great great pop record reminds me of the hot summer of 76 in London.Always makes me feel happy

[RICHARDFOGELBERG]

I REMEMBER WHEN THIS RECORD CAME TO MY HANDS STRAIGHT FROM USA (I WAS 14),I WAS SO HAPPY AND EXCITED THAT I COUDN'T STOP LISTENING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS,NOW I'M 47 YEARS OLD AND I'M STILL HAVE MY ALESSI BROTHERS VINYL IN MY OWN COLLECTION AND I STILL LISTEN THEM.

THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL THE NICE AND ROMANTIC MOMENTS AND THIS WONDERFUL ART AS WELL

Love you guys! Thanks for uploading this. You bring back awesome memories from my childhood. I love the sound of your super unique voices.

Who's Lori, by the way?

[phonogenesis]

I'm 6 years old all over again! I remember this being on the radio all the time - it reminds me of a time when when life was far simpler...

[dumbass281270]

J'adore cette chanson (I love this song). Un peu de douceur dans ce monde de brutes ;-)

[thesimplerose]

@bobbyalessi I'm really sorry I clicked my mouse in error when I was reading your comment. I don't know how to undo it. I apologize Bobby. It's very nice of you to answer our comments. I LOVE YOU and GOD BLESS YOU! mwaah!

[melu063082]

@melu063082 was referring to the "vote down" button i accidentally clicked while I was reading your reply to steve

[II102II]

@seaslave1 I played your album to death too and I also loved it and still love your songs.

[theprophet20]

Love the hairstyles... O, and the song is nice too!

[tokaijazz]

i loved this song, still do. i love the lazy drum sound and the bass, the keys, the vocals, the flute, i could go on , thanks for writing and performing this at that time in my life. i was 18. all the best.

[bobbyalessi]

@tokaijazz

Thanks!

[JimmBailey]

@tokaijazz

Ditto for me....can never forget those sublime harmonies----I was 9 when it came out. Check out the track "Seabird" from the same LP.

[moodybluejays]

Remember this from that long hot summer, boys & girls of the 70s? Happy days !

[butzee]

The great Engish summer of 1976 was accompanied by this great song.....happy long hot summer days!!!!!

[adamax]

I was 9 years old when your song came out and I remember teasing my sister endlessly about loving you guys way too much. I secretly dug your jazzy tune though.

[bobbyalessi]

Cool! We love hearing about how our music has been a part of so many lives.

cheers,

-bobby

[adamax]

We lived in the Philippines at the time and my sister would stick her tape cassette recorder in front of the TV while you guys were on since we didn't have VCR's yet. I must say "Oh Lori" was quite a hit even in the Philippines and you guys made a lot of girls swoon. Us guys even tried to copy your hairstyles.

[jsivna]

Thanx so much Bobby,God bless ya.. ur tune was the soundtrack to a great time in my life :-D

[joaspiras]

[Lovlivs4Eva]

A bicycle built for two, ONE that flies for me & you! Just who are YOU? Come On, hop On my Love and let's see what Love..

LOVE,

Just DO IT!! Smile sweetly and listen carefully to the Universal language of Love...IT is beating in time, all will Come Together as ONE LOVE. Thank GOD always for Buzz 2! Thank GOD always for EVERYTHING

[jaydavee]

there is a lovable gesture in Second Life where it makes the avatar skip around in a circle and it plays the part: "I'd like to ride my bicycle with you on the handlebar". You can get positioned near someone else's avatar and do the circle skipping around them with it.

[rachienicks]

Heard this on the radio for the first time in ages. Took me straight back! My two sisters and I loved it and still do.

[merdailloux]

i adore it since i heard it on the radio,a"few years ago"

[ElizabethMariya]

OOOOOOOOOOOOMG!!! That voices!!! And the hair, ohhh the hair, I always loved them so much :-) Thanks for bringing back all that memories, lots of love from Brazil [Beth]

[bobbyalessi]

Our pleasure! Thank you back!

[ph1lanthrope]

Great pop standard ! Many thanks Allessi !

[TheRealRacey]

clive wilson

[bobbyalessi]

[smartwabbit]

[bobbyalessi]

Thanks! Tell your mom we send our warmest regards.

-Bobby

[Joeyfulco]

These guys have always been way, way ahead of there time! Timeless vocal style and timeless tunes. Longtime Friends is still an album that never got its full due as well as their 1st.

This is the wow factor!

Joey Fulco

[bobbyalessi]

Thanks for the great compliment!

[proff180]

Yup, I echo all the sentiments expressed here, long hot summer days and nights, not a care in the world, a great time to be alive and young, there was a magic that just seemed to die after the 70's, oh well, at least we have our memories, and thanks to Youtube plenty of vids to remind us of that time when the world was a but more simple.

Cheers.

[SazBob2223]

Fantastic! Very, very happy sound and memories from a hot summer when things were simple and innocent as a young lad. Caused a bit of confusion for me at the time though too - hormones were starting to kick in! :O) Thanks for uploading.

[bobbyalessi]

Thanks for sharing your memories and how our music brings back good feelings even if they were a little confused. We hope it all worked out.

Cheers,

-bobby

[kimutak123]

Reminiscing my high school time. Such a great time with great songs like this.

[jeckhoch3]

What a wonderful music...what a lovely time this was!!!!!!

[loucochico]

Great song! Sure brings back memories from the good 'ol days! Thanks Alessi Bros.!

[xsummerxsunx]

Great posting,takes me back to a fantastic summer (hot) of '76 on the isle of wight, Simple music but none-the-less great

[pins1952]

This song takes me back to the fantastic Summer of '76...a holiday in Brighton(UK)

and such a wonderful time of my life,when you weren't afraid of someone knifing you !

[cheeseandbiscuits]

This song makes me feel all gooey inside!

It's just beautiful, sweet music at its best!

[NEVERENDINGLUVA]

LOVE, ITs the BEST FEELING of ALL!!!!!!!!!!

Just the GREATEST!!! GOD BLESS US ALL...

With Love,

Always

[Lovlivs4Eva]

So sweet & innocent. Pure, real, TRUE LOVE!

[bobbyalessi]

Thanks bowscar2, you can see us do it live at the Hackney Empire theater in London on October 30th.

Cheers,

Bobby

[bowscar2]

Just wanted to say that there's no other song that takes me back to my very happy childhood like this does. loved it at 8, still love itat 40. Like someone else said, i thought that it was actually a woman singing but i mean no disrespect.i also thought Chris Montez' "Call Me" was sung by a woman, so that's two strikes. Fantastic song, abslolutely love it. Thanks for the happy memories guys.

[bobbyalessi]

Very good observation! Thanks for the compliment. we must give Bones Howe credit for putting it all together. Bones, you rock!

Love,

Bobby & Billy

[Steviep89]

Hey guys, credit where credit is due of course, but in no way did I mean any offence, I love this song. The female thing can come from different thoughts and feelings at the time, i.e. me. I was a kid at the time, and I was in love with that voice, and every time I hear it, I love it. You are all great music makers, I was just commenting on this one, sorry. No offence was ever intended. Maximum credit to all.

[Stevesixty7]

Sorry about the username. It is my son. And I'm bloody annoyed about it, but hey ho. I've changed it now.

[Stevesixty7]

Brilliant song Bobby.And I mean no disrespect when I say that for almost 30 years I thought this was sung by a woman. I'm a 41 yr old bloke, and have loved this song ever since I heard it as a kid on a family holiday, and to find out it was sung by a man amazed me, not to mention killed off something inside me about this great song. Please don't get me wrong about what I am trying to say, I'm the idiot who got it so wrong, you made a great song. Please respond to make me feel a bit better. Sorry

[bobbyalessi]

Hi Steve, I'm not offeneded, thanks for loving my song. I don't know why I wrote the song so high in my range. I guess it was the style back then to show how high you could sing, remember the Bee Gee's "Stayin Alive"? Some said they thought it was about a truck, I wrote the song for my girlfriend who I eventually married and had 2 beautiful children with. It was a hit in 18 countries and still gets airplay. We'll be performing in London at the Hackney theater on October 30.Come and say hello.Bob

[Stevesixty7]

Hi Bob, many thanks for the response and the info, much appreciated. You made my day. What a guy, brilliant.

[shaftsbury94]

great memories from school holidays, great piece of work

[LoveAll19]

Perhaps It's bout STAYING ALIVE even after getting your HEART RUN OVER by a TRUCK. OR, maybe it's just FOLKLORE. Only GOD knows...thats the BEST! LOVE ALWAYS.

[LoveAll19]

Hope that their NEW MUSIC will RESURRECT that something that "died" inside.

Love always

[Stevesixty7]

You don't understand. I was referring to this song, which I love and thought it was sung by a woman for the last 30 yrs. I had an image in my mind of a nice lady (bear in mind my age)and since then I have had that image, and grown up with it. No disrespect or offence, was ever intended.

[LoveAll19]

I understand LOVE. Hope that she will live forever right inside of your beautiful soul memories. GOD knows I Love the boys and their music. Wonder if you have listened to their latest?  Just GREAT MUSIC!!! Check out their website. Barnaby Bye too. All the Best to you & yours!

Love,

A Lassie girls

[Hammernator]

All due respect but how many MEN do you know with the name LORI?!? C'mon now...

[Stevesixty7]

None actually, spelt like that. But as a youngster things are different. Life looks and sounds different when you are 10 years old as opposed to 41 years. You must understand that.

[NEVERENDINGLUVA]

none BUT I DO KNOW 2 GREAT MEN named Billy & Bobby Alessi!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Seventiesfan]

Many thanks for the great video, Bobby. Take care!

[NEVERENDINGLUVA]

ALWAYS IN LOVE WITH YOU!!!

[LKayL]

A fantastic tribute to your greatest hit. You guys have so much talent!

[allthingsnancy]

Wonderful "archive" video, Bobby...thanks for putting it on YouTube for your "long time friends" to enjoy!!!

Love,

Carol
