The Elegants - Little Star

[CoolioRockstar]

damn! i wish i was born during the early 60s so i could hear these.

Favorite song.

[GereDJ2]

Pretty outstanding they would still want to do this and still do it so well. Probably some of the finest harmony of any early Rock song. Thank you Elegants!

[0217ldp]

It's so good to see them performing still. I love it.

VITO YOU ARE A GREAT SINGER AND A GOOD PERSON , PLEASURE MEETING YOU AT WPAT IN NY

[childofthe70s2]

awesome, they will be forever in my heart

[bobbilse]

Nice to Vito still out there performing. He's lowered the key to this song to "E" (I believe the original was in "G" - 4 keys higher) to where it doesn't really sound like him anymore, but we all get old, don't we? It's still his song, anyway.

[crazyromanian1]

@bobbilse Sure got a lot of mileage out of this one didn't they!!!

[Mufaso1000]

Getting old sucks.

[coonshine1]

These guys will sing better from their graves than what we put up with today............

[ctguy1955]

I have looked for this song for a long time !! I love it

[rocmaven]

[Monkmaster1969]

OLD DUCKS RULE!!!!!!!

[greendaysaint8302]

god damn they've still got it

[kennbix]

Great saturday night sock hop music....makes me feel like I am 16 again....

[Kryptonian250]

Amazing, 50 years later...

[hyonrty]

Nice to see the old geesers singing, but Dion and bobby do it better, thanks for upload I enjoy it..

[9duryea9]

@hyonrty

Actually, we can enjoy each version equally. The expressions are collectively lovely and the music communes.

Meanwhile, I AM a fervent Dion fan.

[lilwitch100]

This song was on the Hit charts the year I was born... Oh, dang I told off on how "OLD" I am...lol

[doowop1942]

V. Dropped at least a whole octave from the original

[rvictor64]

During the mid 50's and early 60's it was not unusual to take a nursery rhyme and converted into a Hit Record. Vito and the Elegants did just that along with The Reflection's Just like Romeo and Juliet, and The Devotion's Rip Van Winkle. Innocent times with simple lyrics and great Harmony often produced great hits and wonderful memories. It was the best of times for many of us. Ron--Hightway Stars Magazine.

[MrSlantsix]

love doo wop well done fellahs

[broadwaymaniac92]

bruce copp (playing the guitar on the far right) is my dad :)

[estelle715]

Great songs as this..do not age..even if we do!

[rakeuiff]

I loved the group and the record for the memories , but folks they sound like old guys singing, nothing like they used to sound, just the same song, with old guys with low voices not really rock and roll anymore it is sad, and don.t give me shit about my opinion I am an old doo wopper my self, not a real first tenor anymore that's life, but to pretend they sound the same that's just lame!!,

[mikestheman3]

I agree! At times it's best to leave well enough alone and this performance is a perfect example. Vito I love ya, always have, but it's time to consider just sitting back now and reminisce.

[doowop1942]

@rakeuiff I have to agree... i'm 68 and from that Era and still singing... But I do have to sing in a lower range....It's kind of sad when I remember what Vito sounded like on Please believe me

[albamaria54]

excelent, thankssssssss.

[jewfish424]

is that vinny c on drums. luv him

[greendaysaint8302]

My dad has the 45 of this song its sad they just dont have the same voice they did back in the day

[Monkmaster1969]

Glad you don't have an imagination!

[Doowopdan]

True. Vito's voice went from tenor to baritone about 15 years ago. He still sounds good in his new range but he can't hit the high notes.

[9duryea9]

When you get so old you will be proud to sing so well. We will have been gone and have only left a trace. But trust me on this, our trace is your trace....

[9duryea9]

Try t o get there, youngster.

[rakeuiff]

Lame!

[npwd]

@greendaysaint8302 That's because they're alot older...DUH! They still sound fantastic dude.

[409bob]

love these guys, have the original 45

[npwd]

Wow, and from what I read on the net this is still the original line up.

[Doowopdan]

Half right. Lead and baritone are original (far left and second from right). Other two have been with Vito for 30+ years.

[EldkaS]

i`am a young guy from Russia. I love "The Elegants". I know, you will live forever in our hearts.

[stripemister]

"Good songs never die." Oh how true, for Doo-Wop,is the greatest sounding music to one's ear.

[HappyRob290374]

Takes me back to the old juke box days, The Dell Vikings and so on. The Searchers have been playing this as a background track at their shows. Good songs never die do they?

[g1h2nedlaw]

You are right. It's Frank Allen's CD and there's very little he doesn't know about the 50s. Happy days. All we had to worry about were the Russians!
