[je28511]

She recorded this at age 14 with The Innocents...she just great..!!

[1992Doll18]

I love this song she is amazing n sings so beautiful!!<3

[karaokeken1]

Does this woman have "CLASS" written all over her or what? What beauty.

[thesticx]

I saw this lady on PBS the other night...........She has a beauitful voice and is still very pretty!

[desert3347]

Whoaaaaaaaa, Time Has Been GOOD to Kathy.

Age Isn't in Her "Repertoire"......Carry on Kathy!!

[TheElvisSinger]

How frustrating for the mum of the drummer.

[Dealit707]

IF only they made singers again like Kathy Young.

[skypilot722]

I, too, had a huge crush on Kathy and she's just as strikingly beautiful as she ever was.

[68enxy]

she was born 10-21-45. Holding up well, I'd say! Still a babe!

[Banderuola66]

My favorite Oldie. Brings back such beautiful memories and also tears...

Love it, Love It, Love it !!! Thank you for posting.

Endless Stars for Kathy **************************++

[TheJanka51]

She sounds better now then the original song.

[valleyofgalon]

Let's see how many of today's contemporary female singers sound and LOOK this good when they turn 70. She is still drop dead gorgeous!

[Tony1949d]

Cool how you can see her bellybutton identation.

[packard400]

@Tony1949d !!!!!!!! (laughing!)....I thought I was the only one! Seriously, she looks outstanding for being nearly 70.......

[Alikah1]

65 years old and will you look at that figure!! My wife didn't look like that when she was 20!

[herbajones]

Wow... how many of us fell in love while listening to this beautiful girl singing this awesome song.

[BT3701]

Superb - Thanks for the great memories Kathy

[polycarptemp]

I have had a schoolboy crush on this girl from the time she sang this song for the first time.

[blinko656]

@polycarptemp Yep you're not the only one. It never leaves. :0 Thanks for watching.

[jackmanjls]

@blinko656 Blink you are correct it truly never leaves. I've often said that I would trade just about everything I have to be back in those days. Those of us that grew up in the 50-60's have something that a lot of others can only dream about. Thanks for posting this memory. It truly is appreaciated.

[polycarptemp]

. She just gets better with age...looks and voice

[glaciervillage]

her voice sounds prettier than ever :)

[monica505able]

wish ii could see her in person, ii love this song:)

[fogeable]

Class with a capital C.

[plainpenny4]

Man, I keep telling myself " you were born about 25yrs too early". What I'd give to turn back the clock!

[scoobydoabccba123]

where has time gone, but in the garbage, we were so innocent then , even though we werent ! such a beautiful song , we are a fading flag still flying after the time . if only this generation could see the times past and to know its meaning and the heart felt moments we lived , oh the 50 and 60 if it hadent been for corea and vietnam this would have been the best , it was !

[bostonbabyboomer]

Last week, Kathy appeared before an adoring audience in a venue just north of Boston. She had never appeared in New England previously. Another great performance! Before the show, I spotted her in the lobby and extended my hand to welcome her. She smiled, took my hand and thanked me. A truly classy lady!

[damanfrom808]

awesome!!! Kathy Young, just awesome! great memories, great post.

[wolfmanrick]

wow what a great song and a still hot lady

[fiftynlonely]

I remember going to the roller rink and skating couples to this song

[Spinifexman]

[DeputyDog644]

Fan-dang-tastic!! She's better now than 50 years ago!!!

[A1000StarsInTheSky]

So Dreamy! My favorite song! Thanks very much. A1000stars for Kathy and you!!!!!

[Tuscanson]

Sounds as good as fifty years ago.

[waynebrasler]

Kathy not only looks like an ice cream cone and dresses gorgeously, her voice is close to what it was when she was a teenager. She's still a singer with beautiful intonation, perfect pitch and a great sense of feeling.

[coastergirl306]

she's still stunning. Her first husband, John Walker...from the Walker Brothers band of the middle 60's passed away in May.

[moecat1000]

what happened ,i started to get turned on watching move and her sing that song .i remember when that song first came on the radio ..

[desert3347]

[blinko656]

@louisyoung1 Thank you for your comment. Ah the memories…!

[louisyoung1]

@blinko656 Ah yes the memories,aint they grand?

[tjbollman1]

@louisyoung1 She really is something. This was a great song.

[louisyoung1]

@tjbollman1 I was 15 when i would listen to her Heavenly voice on this wonderful song,i never knew what she looked like till youtube,but i always knew she must be gorgeous.I wasnt wrong. Peace

[tjbollman1]

@louisyoung1 I think I first saw her on American Bandstand. I remember being envious of her tiny, perfect figure. My brother had a crush on her and didnt even care that she had such a lovely voice. It was good to see her still looking and sounding so great.

[tjbollman1]

@louisyoung1 Sometimes ya just know...

[american2015]

Singing angel!

[PhillySouth]

Kathy Young has really stayed "young" in many ways

[MyRebel44]

I love this song the 50"s were the best.

[nicktheace1]

Saw Kathy at the Silver Legacy in Reno Friday night. Fantastic singer and entertainer. Had the opportunity to meet her...she is a lovely lady inside and out!

[namnoiz]

Wow , Kathy is still beautiful and still singin like an angel in this vid !!!

[MrGumboGalahad]

A classic song by a classy lady. She sounds as good as she ever did, minus the Innocents of course. Who in their right mind could give this a thumbs down?

[midnightdjofficial]

Fabulous as always.

[haystackboy205]

wow ! Awesome song, She is and always will be an awesome singer. Brings back alot of memories. THANK YOU.

[makalavena]

[aVideoSharing]

Kathy's better than ever; thanks for sharing.

[metamorphosis743]

[stevemichaels2020]

@metamorphosis743 Kathy Young is still alive.

[memphisward]

This woman is incredible.

[drmattdenver]

What I would give to meet someone like Kathy Young!!!!

[ghostwraith76]

Wish she would sing crazy for you live that song kills it

[ssaylor423]

Wow - found the fountain of youth in her music i suppose!...Keep singing baby..I'm listening

[MrDanmeyers]

I've always loved her....just like everyone else. She just appeared on a 2011 doo wop show.

[desert3347]

OMG, Still Beautiful!!

Sounds Perfect!!

Body!! 

[Gauchaaa]

Liiindo...

[Rao665]

Is she a cougar? Hope she is, and hope she likes men in their late 20's.

[Ronbo710]

Simply Beautiful!!

[brownindian17]

WOW! SHE LOOKS AND SOUNDS GREAT!

[zfleming44]

Karhy has remained petite like my wife of 45 years. Remember listening to

WKBW when they went directional to the south at 1520 AM at night. Thanks for posting.

[TheSailingStu]

@zfleming44 They just don't make singers lke Kathy Young any more and that's too bad!. Once the sun went down I could pull in KBW in south Jersey about 2 miles north of the Delaware Bay. The 1st time I ever heard S&G's "Sounds of Silence", Joey Reynolds played it "back to back". One night, Reyonlds' said: "If this record stops before I get back, I'm out taking a pee" (maybe Howard Stern was listening)........You just didn't do that back then..

[gloyahoo]

Kathy looks fantastic.

*****stars

[msig01]

More talented than ANY American Idol

[raymondem2]

Sorry fellas! You can't claim Kathy Young as your first boyhood "fantasy" lover. I can!

It was 1959 when I was 9 years old sitting my back porch during a bitter, bitter divorce between my parents when this song first appreared on WLS radio in Chicago. If I were older, I would have called her at WLS and asked her to marry me. Too bad I didn't. Too late. So I guess I'll have to let her go so you, too, can enjoy her talent.

[calgal211]

i adored that man hes gone now its ok i will be alright she got good vocal i will always have memories of him when i hear this song

[calgal211]

i adored that man hes gone now its ok i will be alright

[robertquentincobb]

She looks great for for her 6o's. Keep on Rock 'n Lady. We Love you!

[authorlaurence]

What an awesome performance by the very petite Katy Young whom all of us especially who were teenagers at the time were well acquainted with her and that great song. It was slow dance time for us guys when that song came on. She looks great !! This song today would never get radio time, which is a sad commentary on the music of today. Kathy, we will never forget you darling!!!

[blinko656]

@authorlaurence Thank you for your comment..

[rkmugen]

@authorlaurence

"This song today would never get radio time..."

So true, man. Even I, a child of the 1980's, can share in your sentiment. Hell, I'd trade everything I've gained in the past 20 years in a fraction of a second to be 20 years old in the 1950's/60's... or even in the late 1940's!

[blinko656]

@rkmugen I know what you mean, man…

mike

[blinko656]

@rkmugen Pretty nice comment. I video taped her. I got tickets the day they went on sale and was sure to get in the second row. She was a little over lit but happy to get the shot. Thank you for your warm comment.

mike

[IDrawTheLines]

@authorlaurence I'm a teenager and I was introduced to this song by a local oldies radio station. :)

[1XLINEMAN]

Everbody listens to the vocal and looks at her face, but watch the glimpse of her face as she walks off stage for the first walk off, she knows she still has it, but the audience tells her its true.

When your hot your hot

She's still got it in my book

[sixnightsaweek]

The memiores it brings back, she sounds as great day as she did almost 50 years ago, class all the way

[jagerman100]

FANTASTIC HOT AS HELL

[CanadaAstro]

Kathy Young. Wonderful talent. Nice work...........and lovely too!

[coolsweetgroovy]

Kathy lookslike she could be Pat Benatar's lil sister still fabulous and lovely

[Judy56781]

47yesican, did you not notice how it was the exact same dress as this one? I think the guy taking the video in this video was using an infra-red filter is why you can't tell it is red in this video.

[blinko7777]

@Judy56781 I am the video guy who took the video. She wore a black dress that evening and a red one at the Doo Wop show I posted. I got the tickets 2 months prior just to get that seat. I was lucky to get it because I was told to shut the camera off later. Any questions let me know.

Mike - Blinko

[47yesican]

I saw The PBS Special a few Days Ago!

She Was In a Red Hot Dress********

Kathy is Figging HOT! Oh Yeaaaaaaaaa

[Sutphen1X]

Great song and a beautiful lady with an angelic voice. Saw her on PBS last night and had forgotten about this song. Have played it a Thousand times since and can't wait to dance to it some day with my sweetheart!! And yes Kathy looks VERY HOT!!

[rorigiles]

Logging in from New Zealand. Nice one Kathy. You still look as sexy as you did all those years ago!

[Garrison446]

Kathy is a stunningly beautiful woman with a great voice. STILL VERY HOT!

[1949sorful]

She still got it!!!!! what a time to grow up in, many days when things go to crap I listen to this and forget about the troubles of the day and enjoy....1949sorful

[authorlaurence]

Kathy really looked great here and sounds just like she did in 1961. There are many memories that people have of this great love song.

[LennyDiouf]

thumbs up if stephen king brought you here =)

[alanhfrank]

Sounds as good as she did back in '61.....but would love to have the Innocents as back up like the original.

[lgio1972]

kathy you sound better now then every keep singing big fan god blees Larry

[jostalter]

i sing the song went i was 14 in a school play i love the song

[Northshorelegend]

Thanks for the great video of Kathy Young. Us guys used to hit the dance floor to slow dance to this fine ballad. She still looks great and was very hot in the day.

[hicksi61]

Nice belly button proves she had a mom

[dancinglion24]

One of the greatest romantic slow dance songs ever. A shame that so many of the younger generation don't have a clue about Slow Dancing.

[LOCKED121]

Wonderful- she still aces this song.

[msSarahcummings]

I am ever so happy that I was NOT born into the (C)RAP generation! They have NOTHING that would even SUGGEST... ROMANCE! This is MY speed. This is much better to have as memories! A "SINGING voice such as this can express soo much more for romance than hearing continuous talking throughout!!

[Ilvcamusic]

DAMMMM, she's "beautiful" and sounds like she did yrs ago. HOT beyond!

[tglatner1]

Kathy is one of those artists that you can listen to over and over again. I would LOVE to see her in concert..this song is the greatest. Thanks Kathy for bringing to us.

[MrRJDB1969]

The Cinderella of Rock & Roll....the great Kathy Young. Still looks great and sounds great !!

[Hoojib]

A woman singing this to me would put me a long way toward falling in love. Especially if she could sing it this well.

[EHDROCK]

Thanks for your kind words!

[EHDROCK]

This was the first song I danced with Joey back in 1961 at St. Camilius Church dance. He was so cute - "chubby" ha ha ha , but boy was I comfee in there, I didn't want to get out (smiloe). And you know what as it turned it, he would be the only man to dance a slow dance with me in my lifetime!

[blinko656]

@EHDROCK Did you marry him? :)

[EHDROCK]

@blinko656 No, but Joey and I loved each other beyond words. Our timing was bad, when he came to claim me I was already claimed; when I went to claim him, so was he and it went on for 24 years, he passed away in 1984. I love him always and we are together at last in our hearts.

[EHDROCK]

@blinko656 No. We were very young and life pulled us in different directions, but when he came back to claim me, I was already claimed and when I went to claim him, so was he. This went on for 24 years! He was a wonderful man and to this very day I love him and miss him so very much. He passed away in 1984 but we are together at last in my heart where he will alway remain safe and warm just like he made me that night when I danced with him.

[blinko7777]

@EHDROCK That is powerful stuff my friend. Here what I get out of it. HE CAME BACK FOR YOU! That is pure love in it's finest form. He loved you. I think one day when all this mess is over the Lord will put us all back together in one way or another..

mike

[edwindonaldsnider]

@EHDROCK She still has a great voice and IS REALLY HOT>>> WOW

[bjclark1017]

@EHDROCK Congratulations to you two! In today's world, that is mo small accomplishment. One thing I can say ffor sure is this. . .if it were not for the beautiful 'refrain' "Oh Pretty Baby Won't You Hold Me In Your Arms' this would have been just another 50;s/60/s slow song. However, because of ithat one beautiful refrain, this song is an absolute classic. I find it hard to believe that she was just a young teenager when she recorded this song originally, 'cause she sure is looking good!

[XXXXLOWRIDERXXXX]

AND THE KIDS TODAY THINK LADY CACA CAN SING.....LOL....NOW THIS IS MUSIC...TODAYS SO CALLED MUSIC SUCKS..PERIOD...

[KaylaS999]

@XXXXLOWRIDERXXXX I totally agree!

[TekMaramao]

Goodness me, still what a voice!

[1XLINEMAN]

There's stuff you gotta do.

In the Navy blink xxx was a restriced call sign meaning pass traffic via encoded means 

[1XLINEMAN]

Great talent.

If I remember this song was a hit in 1961, I was a senior in high school, my girl friend's name was Kathy, we have been married for 47 years.

I heard this song on Armed Forces Radio during the Cuban Missle Crisis, 1962

at night we could hear all the 50KWatt stations WLS, WOWO, WCF.L

[blinko656]

@1XLINEMAN Thanks for the reply.! I bought tickets early so I could get the proper seat. Remember The

Wolfman Jack? I spent 25 years in the Fir Service and have seen a lot of lousy stuff. THIS is one thing in life I wanted to do is video tape her. A little 90 lady (usher) with a 30lb wool uniform told me to shut the camera off. I politely said NO, and asked her to set on my lap. loool. She left quickly. My wife died laughing… I know she has a job but just had to do it.

mike

[TheGrif2001]

Brings back memories from my high school prom of 1963. Keep rolling with the oldies.

[blinko7777]

@TheGrif2001 Me too my friend. :)

[love4CJK]

As a child I sang this to my Dad. It brings back great memories of my childhood. I love this song! :)

[AGibsonJ]

Beautiful voice ... even prettier than on the original song!!

[flatsfishingonline]

Extremely sultry for her age as in MILF

[TheBabyboomkidof53]

Thanks for the post. she sounds and looks as good here at 63 as she did on pbs at 57. yea I miss" the innocents" doing the doo wop backing vocals with her on this. but it's still a great song with just her. I also like the song she did with chris montez in 1962 that reached the top five in the charts, " your the one ". also made top five agian in1973.eleven years later!

[LT1HILLINGHOE]

This lady is 63 here??? Wow...she is pretty, and I mean very.  Age has been kind to her.

[JiminRnow]

Wow... wow. Kathy Young and the Innocents was on the turntable for my 1st "Slow Dance" in 1962. I had a huge crush on her then, and just as big a crush now. Did you know..... she recorded A Thousand Stars when she was 14 years old? Thank you for all Lady.

[rvictor64]

A great song from a very talented lady and one of the best voices of that era. It appears that she kept her looks also. What a moment in time for those of us who lived it ! Ron

[75surfgirl]

Great voice--Why doesn't she make more records--This was a voice ! Now, in this age-female singers all sound the same. Back in the good old days, you could listen to the radio and tell the difference between singers male and female.

[dancinglion24]

One Of The Great Slow Dance Songs Of All Time

[BigTimePride]

Beautiful voice & a classy, beautiful woman!

[MrRJDB1969]

Sounding good, Kathy !

[wb5oxq]

[willbashem]

[blinko656]

@Sonja2810 Whats up? Didn't you have a bunch of videos posted? Or was that someone else?

Mike

[Sonja2810]

@blinko656 No, not on that channel ! Have a great day.

[ElCriticon82]

Wow, she can still carry a tune. So many from her era can't anymore!

[YourLovelyBabyDoll]

Simply Beautiful !!! Thanks for the post.

[seeburg13]
