Gene Chandler Duke of Earl

[earlebutler1]

I REMEMBER WHEN THE GIRLS CALLED ME THE DUKE OF EARL BACK IN THE DAY!!!!!!

[Edward13280]

Good song

[sfumato1002]

This is a classic the species of humanity. This is not just music...this is art, art of sound, what music was meant to be...pure art and harmony, and as long as humans are able to appreciate art, this will always be simply amazing.

[ericmicheladas]

this song is the shit

[iBeear]

[paddys93]

Sawed-off shotgun hand on the pump, sippin' on a 40. Puffin' on a blunt!

[cmedeiros17]

@paddys93 I was just listening to that!

[ojustlookin]

Another great Flashback.. when music was fun and everyone enjoyed listening to it.....

[PenrilOdin]

Sometimes I wonder how my life would have been different if i'd lived to this music full of beauty and romanticism... Instead, in high school we had Daddy Yankee giving some gasolina to the girls... And, a romantic at heart, whenever I was a gentleman with girls I was mocked and rejected... Long live the music from the fifties and the fantasy world it allows me to imagine...

[snedler]

Its nothing as the good old songs

this one kinda made me think about the song in back to the future 1 and 2 earth angle.. its also a good old one :)

[27mjuarez]

my bf just dedicated this song to me :D

[ABlevins40]

I'm here because of the Man with Two Brains haha

[1926FORDTROADSTER]

Great song, time for a shower with "DECORE SAMPOO"

[hnrgrd25b]

[YDeviner]

[mvp94d]

[anna050490]

OMG 2012 n i love hearing this song

[LanaTwist]

holy shit! really showing his creative prerogative in this video; I wonder what the audience REALLY thought?...

[hotbabyanime]

my all time fav song

[DENIALtheband]

this new youtube list blows balls! I can't read this without getting about 12 inches from the screen and squinting....[Hey, let's make the text dark blue so people can't easily find videos....Yeah, that should go over nicely!] Do you think this crappy little thumb pic makes these clips identifiable? Hey, it doesn't. This format?...Ummm, swing and a miss, Youtube, go back to thte old set up...Or hit me up for some fresh idea clusters.

[DENIALtheband]

@DENIALtheband edit last t

[t1ckl3b3ar]

As seen On: Marijuana Growing

What the ? lol

[omenwolfe]

@sallieyoung .... I'm betting Gene Chandler felt the same way that Buddy Holly felt when he played the Apollo.. first white man to ever play there, and the crowd wasn't exactly receptive.. till about the 5th song in LOL... Gene Chandler Rocks.. Buddy Holly Rocks, Richie Valens Rocked, the Big Bopper, Temptations, Stevie Wonder, and on and on and on... great music from back in the days when music was still, well, music.

[TheKustom59]

Jammin this hit in my Kustom 59' Ford. Good times.

[angel40346]

i love this song

[angel40346]

i love this song

[mrairfresh1]

this was the song in my dads day and now it still is the song

[crysjumar1]

can you feel the love in the room? can you feel the excitement?

[MarcusWeiser]

I find it interesting to see the faces of the audience....Great Song Number one song when I was born.

[obereico]

i'm 16 years old and i love this song, i also like The Monotones, Barry White, James Brown, Ritchie Valens, Chuck Berry, etc.

And yes, my generation's music sucks.

[grandjackful]

This song was number one when I was born ..wowo next month will be 50

[p0lyp0w3r]

I think youtube is broken because its counting how many time ive viewed this video 922,939 times.

[manueltomelloso]

i been hearing music like this since i was hella lil nd im 15 now blasting the temptations billy stewert and other legends

[BasilLecher]

Why are people hating on the audience? They clapped and smiled at the end. I always hated it when the audience makes noise during my shows.

[richstrang]

What a classic.

[AdidiLuvyDuvy]

im only 13 and i hate todays music! i love 60's music the best!! :)

[lia1094]

@AdidiLuvyDuvy who cares

[superwweppvguy]

@AdidiLuvyDuvy Well look who's all growed up

[DrinktifyYahhThirst]

Cool

[Gimardoran667]

i love this stuff, real showmanship!

[LuckyCharms432]

SWAGG

[sirtalis69]

Wow.... talk about a stone faced audience! If those uppity tight asses would just unclench their buttcheeks for a second, they'd probably be able to smile and show that they're actually enjoying the music.

[zenoist2]

god i love this song!

[zesilva2222]

GREAT! WONDERFUL!

MASSA, MUITO LEGAL..

GRAN PRESENTACION

[theoriginalbadbob]

[wirelessking1746]

[WildcatBoxingClub]

If your listing to this u had to workout to it an then u got on youtube to search for it cuz u kinda liked it like i did..an u did it in 2011!

[debbiedamooseful]

@WildcatBoxingClub Actually, I'm listening to this because I remember when it was released. Working out isn't a bad idea though! Even if I'm old.

[eladps]

@WildcatBoxingClub a. Wrong!

b. kbye :)

[EdArmstrong1]

One of the best songs of that era. God, that brings back so many memories. Remember when you did not have an 8 track.

[MZLIBRA1969]

HE KILLED THIS SONG...I THINK THIS IS THE BEST VERSION OF THIS SONG IVE HEARD...I LOVE THE SONG FROM OTHER ARTISTS AS WELL...BUT GENE PUT SOME STANK ON IT..

[AnGrYbIRdsFaN1203]

i love this is song <333 like if youu agree :)

[george8404]

gene is still around and as far as I know, still performing, he is old now but still has awesome pipes. Can't autotune real talent and this guy has it in spades.

[ryan49er1]

hate to bring up ugly racism with such a beautiful song but i have to....how can those racist people call this music played by an animal??????..I just dont get their logic

[asgorotht]

@ryan49er1 because its music played by an animal that can sing, how hard is that too understand lol

[ryan49er1]

@asgorotht lol you're just trying to get attention with your remarks.... hey look at me saying outrageous things!!

[domar1]

That crowd is just going fucking wild eh? Peope probably rock out to this harder today than in the early 60s...

[nutyhermit]

Was this some of the first lip-sync?

[AdamAlexanderK]

— n. a nobleman of high rank: in the British Isles standing above the other grades of the nobility

[JDogMacias]

Talk about this time period of music, absolutely no audio dubbing, auto tune etc. This is just pure talent. I don't even know what they are playing on the radio now adays. It's completely edited. And this is coming from the mouth of a teen who realizes we are growing up in a completely digital era. Seriously, put on some music that is a real voice not a robot in a studio. thankyou

[iLORiDEE]

:) As a 17 Year Old...I Can Honestly Say I Will Love This Song Til i Die.!!! #RealMusic

[TheDJDUBB]

29 people cant afford a monacle.

[orea47]

THIS IS MA' SHIT, MY FAV. SONG IN THE HOLE WORLD!

[crystalookami]

Two words: Bad. Ass.

[mutterlein]

Lady Gaga before Lady Gaga

[ayeerizooo]

[7855waldo]

Great song, but he has the stage presence of a cantalope.

[mimikdiyra]

uwww...fancy..



[ururan]

holy shit a monocle and a cape. bad ass.

[buntybunny]

Not to worry, many love this music, just love your girl! Luv BB xx

[holygrail2009]

I wish this music was appreciated by more people. my girlfriend doesn't like oldies. makes me sad .

[CL137626]

Gene's swagga level is OVER 9000!!!! 

[ThePreciouscirirta]

[LiegeCalling]

watch?v=poJgVY6Q82U&feature=re­lated



[BurgerMiser88]

What happened to real music?! I certainly don't hear it on the radio anymore.

[hotdogman67]

@BurgerMiser88

If you have Sirius Satellite radio, you can hear it on channels 004, 005, and 006.

[TeenageShutdown01]

@BurgerMiser88 there is plenty of good music out there for someone who is willing to look for it. In short, turn off your radio.

[debbiedamooseful]

@BurgerMiser88 I don't listen to the radio anymore, except for the Grand Ole Opry on Friday and Saturday nights.

[ryanellion]

@BurgerMiser88 I wholeheartedly Agree i'm 20 AND I REALIZED THAT TOO!

[itsglen9646]

@BurgerMiser88 You may like Charles Bradley and Nicole Willis. Mr Bradley was featured on NPR. Not sure about Ms Willis.

[ZebbeSebbe]

@BurgerMiser88 It's a shame, i am 16 years old and i must apologize what my generation did to music! But i like this kind of music more than anything!

[TheNewkie1]

@BurgerMiser88 in cali you still do over here in oc art laboe connection

[11pooperable]

monocle

[6000cat]

Spellbound!

[6000cat]

R U kidding me....if this is "gansta, I'm Tom Cruise!" Relax, kids...this kid is a gentleman. All the way... awesome- and he blew them away. Still does!

[emmitsmithprodigy]

so aweam

[sallieyoung]

Those white folks looking atthat little black boy like they could pick him apart, he came out and showed them bless his heart, I wonder how how much crap he had to endure along the way, he and others like him paved the way for all ro follow. yes he was gangsta, the epitomy of kool, I showed this video to my 22 year old son , he introduced it to his friends,,a new generation of "dukes"

[halfaddict]

@sallieyoung I am whiter than the driven snow, but this is my music... If I ever have kids they are going to be listening to this too! It will never die. Forget white, black, yellow, brown, purple and green! Rock & Roll, Soul and SOUL! Give me more of this.

[ShalomIsrael60]

@sallieyoung how we have blacks rapping about sex, drinking, and in videos like sexy bitch with all white women. funny how things come full circle

[ThePaperFalcon]

@sallieyoung yes thats exactly what those "white folks" were thinking. they wanted to pick gene chandler apart. mean while "white folks" all over were dancing and singing this great song. get your head on straight dummy and quit bein' racist.

[BlazingFerret]

@sallieyoung

Anybody who thinks this is 'gangsta,' or that 'gangsta' is cool, is a degenerate subhuman that should be spayed so she can't squeeze out anymore low-IQ welfare leeches.

No wonder you're still on the left-hand side of the Bell Curve.

[AnonymousOG1]

@sallieyoung lol dont know about you but if i was black in the 50's i'd of much rather been in america enjoying the opportunity that "the evil white man " let me have as a celebrity rather than either dying of aids, starvations and/or enduring tribal warfare in africa.

[omenwolfe]

@sallieyoung who knows how much crap he went through... but I do know this.. white people everywhere love his music... myself included... most people are shocked that I'm only 29, and I listen to Heavy Metal, and then what they call "oldies" and what not.. Gene Chandler is a favorite, and no collection is complete without him. :)

[ZachGriff11]

Has anyone seen King Ralph? John Goodman sings this and he is the King of England, can you get a better combo?

[maceioninjutsu]

I met him when I received my 32nd degree in masonry he is a good man and freemason

[j3ox]

This is the first song I recall listening to as a teen, I mean different than what my mom would put on. Really brings back memories!

[nfire4]

Couldn't you say hes a goddam awesome singer and i always imagined myself as a duke so i can the connection there

[LilCookie04]

OMG i luv this song i dont care what people say oldies 4life damn i wish i was born in those days(tears):(

[franchi123]

[NLswag]

[tonalities]

[buntybunny]

[KookieKrisp12]

[NLswag]

Someone has a temper

[riv4life618]

Great song, great clip!!!!

[NormanEdwardVail]

they are looking at him like 'where did this 'BOY' get this great sound?'

[6000cat]

I've watched this 5 times...this kid had to have a set of BRASS ONES to go out there and DO this thing!. The dead-ass audience didn't know what hit 'em.

[6000cat]

Yeah, agreed, it's kindof a creepy Prince thing- before his time...but the sound is good.

[nrmnvl55]

MSBUTTERNUTTS the whole tape was and act for a future vidio...they were told to remain motionless. LOVE YA ALL...

[nrmnvl55]

HUBYMAN....the rape sounds good...lorivail @ yahoo . com

[MSBUTTERNUTTS]

ITS FUNNY THAT THE AUDIENCE (mainly white people) IS JUST SITTING THERE WITH NO EMOTION... I SERIOUSLY FEEL THAT MEXICANS AND ALL OTHER LATINOS ARE THE MAIN AUDIENCE OF OLDIES LIKE THESE LOL! IF I WAS IN THAT AUDIENCE I WOULD OF BEEN SOOOO HAPPY TO BE PART OF THAT ERA... AND WOULD OF SHOWED MORE EMOTION!

HONESTLY I CANT LISTEN TO THIS SONG WITHOUT SMH UP AND DOWN AND SIDE TO SIDE! LOL

[nexiden]

20 people don't know what a monocle is.

[scott7even]

[colorsoc]

[mcfrdmn]

Lovely musical performance

[blkcowboyhat]

I was playing Trivial Pursuit the other day, and the question to win the game was "What can stop the Duke of Earl?" I won the game!

[whotookmymojo]

What is that little hand moment-clap at the beginning that he repeats mean, anybody know?

[jamesellis33]

@whotookmymojo I was thinking getting in the moment and feel of the music. I guess a way of getting psyche up.

[dda030582]

The Duke of Earl looks a lot like the black version of The Monopoly guy! lol

[SlayeCohen]

23 klu klux klan don't like this...

[dezamora100]

Nothing can stop the Duke of Earl

[dfscapepker]
