Freddie Scott - Hey Girl

[dogtowncurve]

Freddie Scott--- What a class act!!

[kujichagulia1]

I WAS IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG WHEN IT WAS FIRST RELEASED. I THINK I WAS 12 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME! WHEN MY OLDER SISTER DIED IN 1998, I PLAYED THIS RECORD NON-STOP BUT COULDN'T FIND IT BY FREDDY, SO I PLAYED IT BY MICHAEL MCDOANALD, WHICH ALSO WAS NICE. I LOVE THE SENTIMENT OF THESE LYRICS. NO MORE LIKE THESE TODAY, UNFORTUNATELY. IT'S ALL SEX NOW. SOOOOO SAD!

GREAT CHA - CHA DANCE!!

I had the pleasure to work with Freddie back in the day, music is just not the same anymore..

[pattroni]

His voice was amazing. Great performer, and makes me believe that those kids in American Idol worth nothing compared with the real artists.

[itisme51]

If you can't feel this, you have no feeling at all. Freddie was as passionate as a man could be during this performance.

[bransonbelle]

I will never say "Say So-Long or Goodbye to this version of perfection" Tears are falling from my face 53 years later. Thank you for all of these feelings.

[marthadiv]

This is absolutely beautiful. What a wonderful singer and band.

[GS455Stage1]

It was in the summer of 1963 when I first heard this beautiful song on the radio while living in NYC at 40 West 135th Street & Lennox Avenue.

Long Live Such Beautiful Soul Music!

Mr. Scott was the real deal! What a powerful voice and personality. This man should have been up there with Otis, Al Green, etc. R.I.P. Mr. Scott. Your music will live on in our hearts!

[pyannaguy]

Freddie Scott, just on the strength of this song, is immortal in my book.

What a voice! The original record is haunting.

[recovering16]

Outstanding! I just now favorited this one, the one at BB King's and the original. Oh, I remember 1963 so well, and thought "I'm so lucky to be happy and in love". Little did I know that I'd be singing this song a few years later to "the man that got away". It happens to the best of us - but Freddie made it a little easier and smoother!!

[ns0710]

Yeah, all three are outstanding! I'm glad you could hear Freddie. More people need to see his videos.

Wow! Thanks for visiting! You father helped invent Rock and Roll, literally. For those who don't know, he wrote "THE TWIST' and invented the dance!

[VLW69cancer]
