Went to Jamaica High School at the same time. These guys used to practice their doo-wop up and down the halls! We were NYC champs in basketball, 1955.
The Bronx Tale was a Movie that was enjoyable to watch, but was filmed in Queens NY. That scenario in the Bx Tale was gone by 1975. As much as it may have been an enjoyable movie, that lifestyle has been long gone. That Area in the Bronx has changed so much , that it is scary. Albanians are the predominant group, and other cultures such as Puerto Ricans and Dominicans, and Mexicans, have changed the Ethnic makeup of that area. There are few Italians left.
I love you all! Just keep it going. I now have Sirius Radio in my car. My 10 year old only wants the 50's music station....He is a a godsend. He loves the oldies!
Absolutely. I grew up in the 80's. Things are different. I hope you can respect that. Things will never be the way they were. I am 41 years old , and I am trying to keep this great music going.
@TheJoey1s Hi I see you mentioned you are a Bronx boy, nice. Have you watched 'A Bronx Tale'? Do you still live in the Bronx and is it still like it was in the movie 'A Bronx Tale'?
I am simply asking this as the move 'A Bronx Tale' is my all time favorite and after watching the movie I have been left fascinated, with the era of the movies setting '60s'. I will tell you now the movie brought tears to my eyes, if you haven't watched, it watch it please.
I was at Jamaica High when the Cleftones formed. They were always practicing their arrangements behind the school at "the Wall" next to the track and athletic field. They always attracted a crowd of students to listen in.... they were great!!
Love this..This was one of my favorite groups as well as the song being one of my very favorites. The music bk in the 50"s had substance, meaning, feeling..trhe artists had true talent, integrity,faithfulness.....something that is missing from most music and singers today. A lot of there artists we never got to see, unlike today where you can see nothing ,as far as their assumed talent, but everything as far as their bodies and nasty words!! That's my say!!! Thx 4 posting this John1948Three
@BethL71 This is the original version recorded by the Cleftones, but somebody has played with it using home software to try to "improve" the sound and completely ruined it. Look elsewhere for another posting of it if you want to know how it really sounds.
the only word for this group and the music is fantastic. they have style and class.real good feel good music.we need more doowaps man thanks for sharing this great music with us.
Bandstand 16 I'm with you, songs back in the fifties were feel good songs they belonged to us the kids from the USA cities.Then out of no where came the half fag british singing I want to hold your hand, I bought that record just so I could break it.Todays kids got rap singing I would love for for these groups to bring back doowop music.I know they could because the black groups started it all.
I agreed with you the minute this song played.. One of my best songs to dance to was "WILD ONE" by BOBBY RYDELL. What a workout that was and I loved every step of it..
@muggsie753 Wow do I agree with you, how can we bring back doo wop. All we ever get is a tease with those Oldies shows on PBS. I was wishing that there could be a club that opened in all major cities just playing our songs but they say only the young kids spend money so they gear towards that age group.
i agree with you 10000000000% the so called music today is freakin garbage....i have a hole bunch of doo whoop songs on my xbox 360....and its funny when i have my door closed and i play this music when my mom's friends come over there like how lives in that room...they get surprised cause im only 18...but ive been listening to since i was little but just recently got the chance to download them
@antoniodsl i know its a year ago but I cant help but agree. Im 24 and cant stand todays music. Give me a fine tune from the 30's 40's 50's 60's and im a happy woman. Finally someone who thinks like me :D
@antoniodsl Son do some more looking around there's always good music being made (and bad music too) at any time period You may prefer certain types of music and certain eras Don't get me wrong I bought my first 45s in 1962 and loved the music of the 50s and 60s but I also liked music made right up to this day and also pre-Rock'n'Roll music Widen your horizons you may be pleasantly surprised PEACE
