Hey everybody, check out two more Delicates songs I've uploaded that haven't appeared here yet - "Meusurry" and the flip side "Ringa Ding." Enjoy.

The BEST singers usually don't achieve "fame" but really, if truth be known, the most talented singers have sung background for many less talented singers. Technically, the best singers in the business have sung TV and Radio commercials, have sung for non singing actors in films, and these three gals heard here are the perfect example. While not achieving household-name fame, that in no way dimishes their talent.

my dad owns a black and white 1960 thunderbird....we listening to this on a sunny day. flashback

[mralwaysrockin]

Probably first heard this at the Lyceum in London way, way back during one of the fantastic rock 'n' roll nights in the 70's.....Still think of those days long ago & whatever happened to the East London Rebels ?

Hi to the FABULOUS Delicates and to "chezfun" as well.

There is a slight disagreement here BECAUSE if "chexfun" is your number one fan,then you must have at least TWO NUMBER ONE FANS because I am certainly your number one fan,myself!

Love to Arleen,Peggy,and Denise from Wes XOXOXOXOX!

[mystery10man]

Never heard of the group but like their singing. Would love to have that T-bird

[Petemonster62]

Fun Song! At least The Delicates were satisfied with having a Thunderbird; They wern't dropping hints about everything under the sun like Eartha Kitt did to " Santa Baby" !

[ScriptWorker]

Hey Cool, hadn't heard this group before so a good find.

[manikmek]

Very good! Yes I never heard of them.How could I have missed that?

[keyjack100]

Heard this for the 1st time last night on "Rock-A-Billy Roadtrip"...Love it! Where did it break out regionally??

[jeffpolara]

When cars were automobiles and women were ladies.

[navsecgru1]

I believe the Delicates also cut the Opening and closing title giggle on Murray the K's radio show.

[twistomama]

You are right!!! we wrote and sang murray's opening and closings themes for his 1010 wins Swingin Soriee....

Serg: Peggy was in The Angels when "My Boyfriend's Back," was the first white female girl group to go all the way to #1 on the pop charts. Love this unknown gem....it's a keeper!!!

[boopkid]

Wayne,

You are correct. I knew Peggy had gone to "The Angels" to great chart success. Glad you liked it. Thanks!

WHY IT WAS EVEN USED IN A RECENT DISNEY MOVIE(UNFORTUNATELY,THEY DIDN'T USE THE DELICATES ORIGINAL VOCALS,BUT STILL VERY NICE!

BET THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT WHEN DENISE,PEGGY,AND ARLEEN WROTE THIS SONG THAT IT WOULD STILL BE MORE POPULAR THAN EVER ALMOST 50 YEARS ;LATER!

I LOVE THEIR SONG AND I LOVE THEM!
