I'm wondering who the piano man is??? He looks so much like Dave Somerville - both very classy gentlemen, I was thinking maybe they are father and son - does anyone know?? Thank you for this video :o)
Grew up in the mid-60's, took this music with us on our WestPac cruise of 66-67 to keep us in touch with our hometowns. Those above who voted dislike have to be from another planet or just so young they have no knowlege of how great an era this was, and what a shame. Thank you for a great video with music that takes us back in time.
Whoa, that was a little rude for that singer to put his fingers in his ears at :30. Maybe he was trying to add some levity into the performance, but it lacked good taste.
What an excellent song. Thank you for posting it.
@brownies4you That has always been part of their act. Take a look at /watch?v=VCrpUsLd5kE&feature=related to see them back in 1957. He does the same thing.
I saw them perform two days ago at the Niagara Seneca casino. I must say I was disappointed because for half of the 90 minute show they were singing Christmas songs. I came to hear doo-wop and 50's music, not Christmas songs - if I wanted that I would have gone to a Christmas concert. However, the other half was excellent and they are a still a great talent. I especially liked their elongated version of Little Darlin'. No original members left.
No doubt . They were great and they still are. Pure talent my friends. The belong to the golden era of the late 50´s and 60´s. Those were the days my friend........
@rwb010109 I thought the same lool ; however Bob Barker could only wish !!!!! I think Dave Somerville looks more handsome now than ever before . I've been trying to copy his moves lol as I sing along - every movement is perfection!!!
I was sure the guy with the deep voice was black! ;) I guess they'd be just a bit older than me (like about 12 years or more). Truly a classic! '50's and '60's - nothing better. Those were the days of real music!
Hey there BargainDaze you hit it rght on t he head.. How fantastic these times was.. Music that had meaning... SO many memories and yes romances not drugs and hurting someone.. Thats for posting BargainDaze....
"Diamonds are forever". How come so many marriages break up...maybe we just let love(diamonds) slip through our fingers.

I met this group many, many years ago at a bus stop in Toronto Ontario, I was about 16 years old (I am now 74)and my friends and I were coming home from a dance. They were waiting for the bus too and told us who they were, this was long before they were known, so when they did make it big it was quite a thrill to say I knew them when. I always thought they were pretty good.

My God this is one of the best back to the original groups playing again not many of these things work in fact they should have just left the memory, the two best ones on you tube this and PJ Probey the first few bars of that intro and the vocal intro FANTASTIC. and i have heard them all.. ten stars out if five.
This is just fantastic, i listen to this at least twice a week if i can. I was a teenager in the 80's but was brought up on 50's/60's music and that simply is the best era.
The music of today just pales in comparison to the great acts of the above era.
All music is about today is making as much cash as you can while you with a dodgy voice and electronic wizardry.....go listen to modern acts in concert and with a very few exceptions they are total sh*t.
I love them. Dave is still sexy, So goodlooking., He is not much older than me. Sure wish I could see him in person. and hear him in person as well. Loved them when I was a teenager, and still do. nanniepurk
THIS IS JUST AS GOOD, if not better than the original. This is my absolute favorite song of the 50's. An era of Romantiscism, Innocence, and true Americana. When listening to this song you can just FEEL the momentum in it's melody. THAT right there my friends, is true music. YOu can't get the same satisfaction out modern day pop. This is the real deal right here. Thank God for wonderful perople like these to bring such inspiring music to the world!
oh wow.. I am English and loved American music from this era....I am now 60 and it brings back some fab memories..could dance the night away. FAN...TAS...TIC
I'm 72 in a couple of days time and listening to these guys has brought back many happy memories of my teens - thank you. If only the muicians were allowed to develop music instead of the recording companies insisting on them making music that "sells" we'd still be enjoyong vocal harmonies and great lyrics.
Even as a kid born in the '80s, I became a fan of the music that was made 10 and 20 years before I was born and I still love it compared to a lot of the stuff made nowadays. Some artists today should honestly be ashamed of what they're exposing the public to because it's probably the most unimaginative stuff anybody could come up with.
The endless controversy about this group and this song is really that they originally did it as a spoof and mick-take, but performed it so well that it became itself an enduring classic as a genuine (and even moving) version of the song, especially the legendary spoken middle-break)? So, given its origins, who cares if the "applause" is dubbed? The Diamonds 'worked on' the original song to give it appeal, to give pleasure, so lets allow that 'working on' to go on!!
Didn't want to sound mean myself. I feel sorry for young people now, because the "songs" out now are about 10 words repeated over and over. I'm 64 and had the luxury of listening to songs like this as a young person. My youngest son says the new s__t out now reflects real life. BS! Talking about smacking my bitch, selling drugs, busting a cap in somebody's ass is NOT real life. I admit early rock was pretty romantic, but we liked it that way, and it WAS real life. Cheers
but this is music..b. holly....fats d......tokins....could go on and on.i grew up in the 50s and wouldnt trade a minute of it..we are lucky to be able to come to you tube.
@BargainDaze just comment it is real life for some people selling drugs eg doesn't mean not real life for someone out there (i recommend u read jay z decoded book !)
@whirlyfan Don't want to read anymore of that "poor me" crap. I came from a worse neighborhood than most of those people. I know the "hood". You DON'T have to "slap your bitch" around, sell drugs, defend your turf, bust a cap in somebody's ass, or none of that shit! When I grew up there was NO welfare, food stamps, nothing, and we grew up just fine. Even the kids who only had one parent.... WE grew up: NO WHINING!!
@BargainDaze i am 15 years old and i confuse my friends because i can't stand rap or hi hop. most of the music i have is on vinyl and pre dates 1980. the only people i can talk to is my 72 year old grandfather. i honestly wish i was born in the early 1950's so i could experience rock from the start. it seems since the 80's all the music started getting bad. i can respect if people like different genres but most rap has wretched lyrics.
@BargainDaze NOTHING MEAN AT ALL THER SITTING ON THER TALENT NOW A DAYS WHY?BECAUSE THER LAZY,THEY DONT WANNA WORK FOR IT LIKE THEY DID IN THE OLD DAYS,YOU WERE GREAT OR YOU WERE NOBODY,NOW THEY WILL CUT LOOSE ANYBODY THAT WILL WEAR THE LEAST CLOTHING,AND HAS BEEN TO 20 REHABS,IM 50 ANDS OBVIOUS I AGREE WITH YOU,I MISS THE PAST MORE THAN ANYBODY WILL EVER KNOW?IT WAS BETTER EVERYTHING
@BargainDaze This is real music.You can understand all the words. Brings back memories of a happier times in this world. My biggest problem was who to ask out on a date !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@BargainDaze I'm 64 too. Dancing was the standard every record had to uphold. If you can ever hear some of those who rated the records on Am Bandstand they all say you can dance to it or not. I think the Beatles & the other British groups put and end to that kind of rating. But that doesn't mean there weren't records to dance to because there was. There were to standard old records & new ones they just weren't judged on the dancing standard alone.
@BargainDaze Not trying to be mean on my first statement. I like the group of singers and I'm 25 yrs old they dont make groups like these any more. Mostly our young crowd doesn't appreciate music like that any more. I was just noticing that when theres applause you can tell some of its fake becuase the crowds not applauding except the beginning and ending. It's the same on all the other videos of the series
Absolutely fabulous -they've still got it in spades! Don't worry folks getting old doesn't mean you are past it- this may be better than the original.
Excellent Artists !!!!!! They are True Diamonds in every way.....and I listen to "Little Darlin' " repeatedlly without EVER gettting tired of this song or any of their songs.
Back in the day, when this song came on the radio and you were a teenage boy driving your car you stepped on the gas. You could not help it. Lots of speeding tickets were caused by this song,. We all loved it,. Got a ticket myself,
To: 1bigbuy ------------It is refreshing to hear from someone who knows what they are talking about! You are absolutely correct on everything. Obviously, you WERE THERE just like me. ( I'm now almost 66 years old.) It is almost humorous to hear some people come on here---probably young people--- who didn't experience the era, like we did. Yes, these ARE the ORIGINAL " Diamonds."
So, of course they sound like THEMSELVES when they recorded the song! I think about the 50s with much fondness!
@vivamojito, I am 20 and listen to a lot of music and artists from the 30s until present day. But what does age have to do with anything? Good music transcends age, race, and gender.
@cumensu I agree wholeheartedly. I think what a lot of us baby boomers are talking about is that younger people tend to listen to rap/hip hop. For whatever reason they have adopted that as we did early rock n roll. Honestly, I like the beat of rap/hip hop, but can't stand the whining about how bad they've got it. MANY of us had it much worse. We just didn't whine about it... For instance, my older sister was only 4 when my Dad got drafted into WWII. My Mom and her had to move 7 times in 3 years
@BargainDaze, I understand what you are saying but rap is not the only type of music that as you say whines about "how bad they've got it." The blues does this, rock does this, etc. Rap has it bad side, but so does many other music. I don't think it is necessarily a whining thing but more of a poetic release type of thing.
My all time greatest song this group are on another planet listen to it over and over again brings tears of pleasure every time remember going to Ashton under lyne palis when i was a teenager listening to this record then wonderful memories

@BargainDaze This is real music.You can understand all the words. Brings back memories of a happier times in this world. My biggest problem was who to ask out on a date !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@BargainDaze I'm 64 too. Dancing was the standard every record had to uphold. If you can ever hear some of those who rated the records on Am Bandstand they all say you can dance to it or not. I think the Beatles & the other British groups put and end to that kind of rating. But that doesn't mean there weren't records to dance to because there was. There were to standard old records & new ones they just weren't judged on the dancing standard alone.

I like these type of programs that originally aired on pbs but the one thing that I dont like are the fake applause.

@danoz430254 FAKE applause??? Well, you've got your own opinion. All I can say is there is always a sourpuss in the crowd...
BargainDaze 8 months ago
@BargainDaze Not trying to be mean on my first statement. I like the group of singers and I'm 25 yrs old they dont make groups like these any more. Mostly our young crowd doesn't appreciate music like that any more. I was just noticing that when theres applause you can tell some of its fake becuase the crowds not applauding except the beginning and ending. It's the same on all the other videos of the series

Back in the day, when this song came on the radio and you were a teenage boy driving your car you stepped on the gas. You could not help it. Lots of speeding tickets were caused by this song,. We all loved it,. Got a ticket myself,

To: 1bigbuy ------------It is refreshing to hear from someone who knows what they are talking about! You are absolutely correct on everything. Obviously, you WERE THERE just like me. ( I'm now almost 66 years old.) It is almost humorous to hear some people come on here---probably young people--- who didn't experience the era, like we did. Yes, these ARE the ORIGINAL " Diamonds."
So, of course they sound like THEMSELVES when they recorded the song! I think about the 50s with much fondness!

@vivamojito, I am 20 and listen to a lot of music and artists from the 30s until present day. But what does age have to do with anything? Good music transcends age, race, and gender.
cumensu 8 months ago
@cumensu I agree wholeheartedly. I think what a lot of us baby boomers are talking about is that younger people tend to listen to rap/hip hop. For whatever reason they have adopted that as we did early rock n roll. Honestly, I like the beat of rap/hip hop, but can't stand the whining about how bad they've got it. MANY of us had it much worse. We just didn't whine about it... For instance, my older sister was only 4 when my Dad got drafted into WWII. My Mom and her had to move 7 times in 3 years
BargainDaze 6 months ago
@BargainDaze, I understand what you are saying but rap is not the only type of music that as you say whines about "how bad they've got it." The blues does this, rock does this, etc. Rap has it bad side, but so does many other music. I don't think it is necessarily a whining thing but more of a poetic release type of thing.
