the Drifters There Goes my Baby

[TheCinnamontart]

Does anyone other than me wonder why he says he broke her heart and made her cry in one verse, but then turns around and questions if she really loved him after he broker her heart and made her cry? *laugh* It still is one of my favorite songs though.

[thatwhichisgiven]

Thumbs up for 90s kids who wish they were 60s kids! We could've gotten THIS instead of N'Sync....

[osallent]

Despite being in my mid-20's, my Ipod is full of The Drifters, Bill Haley, Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, The Everly Brothers, etc. Nothing but classic 1950's and early 1960's music for me. Beats anything my generation has produced.

[taylorm792]

omg i love this song and i love the sandlot movies soooo much :)

[SkYlAnDeRs64]

i rember this on the sandlot

[danielmkubacki]

Nice post!

[MrLiknpus]

The beautiful sounds of vocal harmonizing.

[ShroomySnail]

imagine playing this in an abortion clinic

[sielckyt]

@ShroomySnail Really? Do you actually think that was funny? Seriously, that's what you have to contribute???

[awesomejesse100]

First time strings were used; still sounds great!

[joeylenseigne120]

i miss the drifters

[sewerrod]

THIS PICTURE LOOKS LIKE TWO PAIRS OF BROTHERS AND A DUDE IN THE MIDDLE

[mango66666]

This was a great song for dancing the stroll.

[CapitanArgentino]

Wendy Peffercom MMMMMMMMIAM GOOD BLESS AMERICA ;)

[chevyss67222]

[Butterpopss]

Listen to this song, can't help but smile. I remember when I was like 7 I would watch the sandlot ALL the time. best movie.

[isoamylnitrite]

Superb!! A landmark record in the annals of soul music!! The first soul hit with string backing!!

[Sayywhat092]

This song reminds me of my childhood. Watching Sandlot fifty times a day with my brother...those were the days...

[LaurenAsheSmells]

I'm 15 and I like this. :)

[TheYoungP4]

i wanna go back to a time where music was like this, lil wayne, drake and all of them, what happened? it's a shame. it really is

[dynelol]

I sent this link to a girl that wouldn't stop posting about her miscarriage.

[BMcbugger]

There was a time in the history of this world in a country where hope thrived in brave people who were imperfect, but they always strived to improve and they were honest about what they felt. There was no faking talent, and absolute morals were widely acknowledged and shared even amidst differences. The Drifters are an example of that time, singing with talent and heart. That time is past and that country is gone, but proof remains of its existence to give hope to future generations.

[smashingSARA]

@BMcbugger The Drifters rarely wrote their own songs, they were written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. But I agree with everything you've said, I believe society has gone down the drain.

[barbamihali]

TIMELESS. 

[shineonocean]

you're killin' me, smalls!

[TheKustom59]

Greatest era of music ever.

[dayzm]

If only the music nowadays was as good as before...

[EliteEspadaNumber0]

@dayzm i fully agree! im only 14 and i want this rap shit outta here! i wish music was still good!

[cartergirl3of3]

The official theme song of "Wendy Peffercorn"

[deanlibertyoldtimeco]

my baby left yesterday, this song is timeless just live life and if you fuck up you can go back to yesteryear. Not neccessarily pleaseant either.

[nailenvelasquez]

Im just waiting for a freaken genious to invent a time machine so i can go back to this era of music

[Dmark420]

12 people are racist......that's the only explination..

[djangoman2008]

Great one -first time I remember an R&B with strings in the background - I am ashamed to admit this - but,this was the first album I ever stole.... However _ was punished big time - thanks again -Dj

[ronetteloverz]

My life was so simple and easy back then...I just didn't realize it at the time. I'd give my left nut to go back.

[cmichaeldavis0202]

@ronetteloverz , but only one.:-)

[Killfire100]

@ronetteloverz id give my left and right nut to be born in this time.. things were so much easier back then

[ronetteloverz]

@Killfire100....I'm not giving up my right nut for anything...

[thetruewindrunner]

@ronetteloverz

Well sure...with a right nut like that!

[ronnelson82]

@Killfire100 Yes they were much easier...never thought I would live to say "The good old days."

[jgclarkunc]

Saw them for first time at the Beach Club in June 1969 - great memories

[rokoping]

What a beautiful song...got all the Drifter's hits....so many good lead singers!!!! amazing!!!

[snoopatomicdog]

[komotoko]

[2fresh2clean100]

This was the first time strings was added to R&B.

[cac4twenty]

This brings back the days man. Playing baseball on the sandlot, fighting the beast, squints kissing that lifeguard, my first time with chewing tobacco, playing baseball under the fireworks, losing my step-dad's babe ruth ball, learning who the sultan of swat really was and making friends with a whole bunch of new kids who always played baseball. Man those were the days man.

[Aphrodite23100]

@cac4twenty

[Driklelisious]

Sandlot. <33 

[Gurupitka95]

People if you are so sick of "today" then help change it! Help bring this amazing culture back to this once great country! Help bring back the 50's 60's 70's hell 80's too!

[heyfuzzycub]

@Gurupitka95 what about 90s?

[jerrywnc]

Excellant audio .... thank you.

[femmesusan1]

This is the real Drifters..What a voice! Even by todays standards he sings so beautiful, I'm nine again --lip sincing this, in moms mirror. Thank you for posting this memory.

[Claudettesmakeup]

[RealGood22]

How many babies have you adopted?

[MosttDopeKIDS]

reminds me of the time i went to the pool and fell in love with the lifeguard. she was oiling and lotioning. she knew EXACTLY what she was doing.

[KREEPNASTY1]

There goes O baaamaaaa.

[kealinepie]

Brings back a whole lot of memories.... Playing baseball in the field with my best friends and then coming home to watch the Sandlot, drinking lemonade and eating lunch, and then going back outside to play some more.... Those were the days.

[snoopatomicdog]

@kealinepie That sounds heavenly. 

[kermitcintronsucks]

I think you made that up.

[whitedevil2]

@kealinepie so you were listening to this as a kid in the 90s? this song isn't your generation

[jorricha]

@whitedevil2 neither are the beatles

[raulciprianoyahoo]

@kealinepie lucky, nowadays a my lil bro can get arrested for trespassing into an empty lot

[joseph4501]

@binkerrrrr lol

[KREEPNASTY1]

@binkerrrrr Or an adoption agency ?

[binkerrrrr]

@KREEPNASTY1 that could work too!

[Aussiegirl265]

@binkerrrrr hahahaha omg

[onedadou1984]

@binkerrrrr rofl!!!!!

[magdaszabo]

@binkerrrrr u are fucking sick & make me wanna report this as spam as it aint a bit funny, u douchebag u asshhole asshole. get a real sense of humour, if u wanna be funny. for real.

[magdaszabo]

@binkerrrrr 31 idiots find that comment funny>? oh weepin jezuz on the cross...sometimes this world makes me so fckng sick, i dont any more wanna live here, in this part of the infinite universe. g-d, people like u. people like u.

[4dabetta10]

i like how he start off like: THERE GOES MY BAABY! true old skool!

[erazaqi]

From this to Lil' Wayne...what happened!?

[rogerrogerdlf]

@erazaqi AHHH!!! Sir I am offended!

[guanaesantonio]

@erazaqi Cough Syrup.

[OJLuscious]

@erazaqi I ask the same thing

[JimmyPage97]

@erazaqi money, money, money, money.

[ronnelson82]

@erazaqi Really! where did it all go. The time is gone and evolved to crap. Sad....

[BMcbugger]

@erazaqi Why does history repeat itself? Why don't people learn lessons from the past? Why does each generation think they know better than the previous generation simply because "times have changed" and "technology has changed"? Why do fools pawn jewelry to buy booze? For those of us that perceive, the best we can do is try to pass on what wisdom we can and hope that at some point in the future another generation will "get it" and shine for as long as they last.

[ggkolar]

@BMcbugger Awesome ! Well written and that is the truth.

[erazaqi]

"Michael Squints Palledorous walked a little taller that day and we had to tip our hats to him. He was lucky she hadn't beat the crap out of him. We wouldn't have blamed her. What he did was sneaky, rotten, low and cool..."

[TheJoey1s]

How could you not love this song?!!

[coolboyjojo9]

[vMysteriousOnev1]

Old days will never be gone when we listin to dis

[missingyou90s]

THE SANDLOT FOREVER!

[boomerang905]

I really like this but it reminds me so much of puberty and a hard time I was having with peers. Generally I love the Drifters but I think a lot of us have songs that reminds us of crazy things. I am so glad that I blossomed out because the boys talked about me something terrible...too much hair on my head, too skinny, big teeth LOL. I was a hot mess. This is the only song I feel this way about because it was playing EVERYWHERE during that time! : )

[ohadrean]

Winnie Cooper ♥

[ilovetodrinkblood]

Those that came after convey that in their sound and their gratitude ...

[MrZzachariah13]

[MrZzachariah13]

[LygarZro]

nice how the top comments are referencing the movie the Sandlot

[alzahad]

One word describes the Drifters..........F-A-B-U-L-O-­U-S ! --Everything they ever did was just pure Genius ! A truly magical group ! THEY might have had more members in their lineup beginning in the early fifties and going far beyond, than 'any' group in history ! It could only have happened in the 50s and1960s !Folks, we will never hear the like of this wonderful music ever again !

[OtherTwin]

greatest recording ever  j vincent edwards

[cmsobota]

Class

[staff50ord]

I prefer today's rapp and hip hop (not).

[PinkPeace01]

Now this is real music!!

[yuturru]

tengo 33 y esta musica siempre ha estado presente en  mis recuerdos ,amores no correspondidos y epocas que no volveran.

[guido1365]

saw the drifters in 1968 at the forum in l.a... my girl frind and i were the only white folks in the audience and, we were greated fine

[Propylnitrite]

I belive that this was the first R N'B record with string backing tracking. Utterly brilliant!!

[PaulBangBang]

Stubbs the zombie

[mezzoallegro]

old songs are so amazing ! 

[84Bronco351]

I type this in and usher pops up. WTF?

[pobrepaco]

WOW-I can remember walking around the neighborhood with my huge portable radio(not a boom box-portables were just big back then) listening to the local radio station and singing along (OFF-KEY!!).Thinking to myself,what a great life, and IT REALLY WAS!!!! THANKS-THANKS

[cupidzway1]

If I could turn back time and be 17 it would be this era.

[007johnnyo]

Thanks for posting this music by the Drifters. Clyde McPhatter was one of my favorite soloist. Remember the Christmas songs that he and the Drifters sang. Those Christmas songs will be around forever.

[guido1365]

doo wap meets soul

[guido1365]

im a 61 and i remember walking on down the line 2 this tune

@biffvonwrinkle mmmmmmm

[romeroboy97]

@biffvonwrinkle What movie is that?

[NVAKiller113]

Sandlot....

[sogrozassasin2]

All that other talk is irrelevant. All there is to say about this song is that it is one of the best song's of all time. The sound will never be recreated. The equipment & enhancement for music is insane & it still cannot come close to these songs recorded on shitty equipment 50 years ago. This music has heart. Todays music has thoughts. Completely different sounds

[cleancutish]

GREAT SONG ...

[cheetopuff80]

The more I listen to a lot of today's music, the more I find myself searching for the older but better music, like this.

[Cerph]

This stuff "cuts to the chase" (no fluff).

[cartergirl3of3]

Why does Usher have more views than this??

[burce96]

im a 15 yr old boy an this music is up there wi dubstep an tini-tempah! by fuck black guys can sing!!!! b etter than white folk!
