If I said teen angst and teen alienation on this one that is all I need to say, right? We all went through it whether we knew enough to know about the words alienation and angst or not. And we related to songs, rock, doo wop, etc. that spoke to those trials and tribulations. This is a classic in that genre. Not one that you and your sweetie would call a favorite, not one that you prayed to the teen music gods to play for the last dance but one that you kept playing to keep your own blues away.
Oh how I remember. My older sister and her two friends were both in love with guys named Eddie. They would play this when they got together at the house. It was a beautiful time in the 50's that I never forgot.
im 45 years old and love my oldies, but i didnt know the teen queens were black woman.to be honest this is the first time ive ever heard of them. but i like them.
Unfortunately lost in time, this classic national hit for the Teen Queens was released January of 1956 close to the begining of the Rock& Roll era. It was a slow dance record whose lyrics expressed the trials and tribulations of love no matter what age. It was a popular and must dance record for both the guys and gals. One of first songs I ever danced to at the age of 11. Wow, were has the time gone?
This has to be on everyone's short list of all time great doowops.

They're called the Teen Queens, but they sound at least 40 and look like they're in thier 30's in this picture.
