Chiffons - One Fine Day (Original)

[Jody07984]

Check out the charts for 1963. I consider it the BEST year for music. Crystals, Ronettes, Chiffons, Shirelles, Beach Boys, Beatles etc etc etc.

[coolbluelights]

Damn... I wish I had a time machine so I could take a vacation in 1963. it's a time I never had the privilege to experience. I was born in 1980

@frb223 Indeed.....Those WERE the days. They are the memories that will live on in our hearts FOREVER................."ONE FINE DAY"

@overbrookXXX Kaplan himself confirmed he played a Buescher for the date.

Yeah, tenor/bari Buddy Lucas was BIG, own singles from early ‘50s to mid ‘60s. Even sang on The Enchanters (Jubilee, 1952?) birthday song. Big in studio work, on big hits - like Maybe, Chantells ‘57). May be tenor on Why Do Fools Fall In Love, The Teenagers, tho it may be Jimmy Wright.

Buddy Lucas and the Wigglers had a UA LP out in 1966, and he did play One Fine Day on it - on harmonica! :I:

[impassable]

They sing great but they aren't as sexy as The Crystals

[sickpax1]

@impassable but the crystals arent as sexy as the ronettes

[jorgecotto17]

[threemississippi]

[mouse12345ify]

CLASSIC even in the year 2012! Amazing how music transports you back to magic times!!!

[Finkanslig]

Artie Kaplan does one fine baritone sax break (1:38). Man can play every sax under the sun. :I:

"One Fine Day" was originally sung by Little Eva and was to be released on the Dimension label. When that fell through, Carole King brought the finished master to Laurie Records who erased Eva's vocal and recorded over it with the Chiffons. And about that famous piano intro, a "professional" piano player had been hired for the original backing session but he just couldn't play it the way Carole wanted it. So she dismissed him and did it herself.

@sprague49 You would be very interested in reading "Halfway To Paradise" by Tony Orlando. It's his life story and a whole lot about the music business back then. Also of interest would be "Dream Lovers" by Dodd Darin, the bittersweet story of Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee. (Both available at amazon.com - fairly cheap.)

[sprague49]

@fairlyfastfreddie1

Beehives & the Brill Building and I'm on board!

[billeybop]

I miss this stuff soooo bad I could cry! Don't waste your youth and love!

[stevendorty1961]

I would like to say a thing to those who would only hope to spread hate and division here. As the comments state and if you haven't noticed this world is by far multi racial and full of beautiful and wonderful people , And i have had the honor to meet and fall in live with quite a few of them. I only hope that through the growing pains this country has gone through we will ALL strive to be better people and learn to love each other not for the sake of skin color but for who we are.L8tr

[9162vb48]

I'm 3 months old and I just wish I could have lived back then so I could have made a ca-ca on the victrola.

[wasthere1]

Wonderful song. These girls did great great songs. Thanks for putting this up



[sutonchef]

THESE GALS ROCK GOD BLESS THEM 

[nalvojo]

@sutonchef ... isn't it a little bit late ? this was hundred years ago (when i was 17) - maybe, they're already in heaven ...

[sparklysparks77]

@nalvojo Hahaha sorry, your comment was just too funny! ;-)

[nalvojo]

@sparklysparks77

thanks,mate - you are the only one in my all lifetime who finds ME funny.

You made my day ....

[missfroanie]

I think its a beautiful song and anyone who can only think of it as when women and minorities knew their place and then to call someone else ignorant needs to get their head out of their arse.

[wfarrar69]

one of my favorite girl groups.why do some female singers don't sing like this these days?

[cynthia6637]

1963!! I JUST STARTED HIGH SCHOOL,

GOING TO ALL THE DOO-WOP DANCES IN THOSE DAYS! GREAT MEMORIES

[sselegnaify1]

@cynthia6637

Yeah--those days were fantastic--sock-hops and pimples.

[Oceanmachine27]

That opening piano lick is one of my favorite hooks in any song. It lets you know beyond any doubt that the music is going to rock your socks off.

[TJCATLOVER]

Absolutely fabulous song!!!!!!!!!!

[AJGM051104]

PAN AM brought me here...can't get this song out of my head since I saw the commercial. I was born in the wrong decade.

[crystalame]

@AJGM051104 Yeah I totally miss the good old days when women and minorities knew their place. You are embarrassing and ignorant. 

[AJGM051104]

@crystalame HA..I find it funny how your try to start a fight with someone you don't even know over a comment that's MY business. Did I offend you in any way? No. Do you have any idea why I said this comment? No. So..embarrassing to who? Why do you care what I say/think? It'd be stupid if I said this comment implying what you said, since I'm a woman and a minority. But anyway, those days weren't all bad, and in some ways, better than this era. So shut up and mind your own business, THANKS. :)

[geoffk54]

@AJGM051104 Well said!!! Check out my comment for He's So Fine.

[dinky965]

Havent heard this one in years, really like this one! thanks

[dandy7989]

This song takes me back to my teens!!

[louisrocca55]

Weyy Nocaro. We've not met before, then three times in one day. Happy Easter, and see you tomorrow. Louis.

[elisa412]

Amazing all the songs Carole King has written to become classic ...
