This song brings back Great Memories of the Carravan Ball Room in Washington, D.C.and going dancing there on a sunday evening in summertime . 1955 to 1957
are you envy that you are not a nigger like me? seeing how nice we are ,sing and danceing giving the world music to enjoy. all the faces on this page are of the original man ,that the black nigger man ok.
I saw Shirley and Lee in person back in 1956, as part of the old R&B reviews that were very popular in the mid to late 1950's. For a very nominal price you could see many R&B legends such as Fats Domino, The Platters, Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, the Clovers,the Harptones, Jackie Wilson, Chuck Berry, Al Hibbler
Every time I hear this song it takes me back to the 50's, sock hops and friday night football. The Eagles get beat on the score board but we kicked some ass in real-time at Mc Cabbe Field. The Eagle don't go down easily. I want to boggie and get some pizza at Nino's. Detroit Nojoke.
@marcusstarr2000 You definetely have no good reason to hate black people, still you do. Wake up, asian person, there are millions of people that hate asian people and call them "chink".
I don't think you might like it, but anyways... hating cause of ethnicity does anyone no good, so save yourself from being another ignorant loser in this big world.
I feel bad for people like you... at least I know that, although you are a loser, not all asians are stupid like you, thank God.
I don't think it's fair to be so cruel to marcusstar. It's possible he doesn't know how insulting that term is. I get called 'cracker' sometimes but I deal with it.
@marcusstarr2000 You should be booted off You Tube, my stomach has just turned over with your dinosaur comments.Let me quote from the African American Registry:The word, nigger, carries with it much of the hatred and disgust directed toward Black Africans and African Americans. Historically, nigger defined, limited, made fun of, and ridiculed all Blacks. It was a term of exclusion, a verbal reason for discrimination. No other American surname carries as much purposeful cruelty.
Shirley & lee is the greatest Rock and Roll team ever for this song they are wonderful I saw them perform in Manila 50 years ago! Everybody loved them!
@marcusstarr2000 how does it feel to be called a chink? probably not to good. If you're Asian eyes were opened up all the way maybe you'd see that the world has changed since the 40's. We don't use the word nigger anymore.
@MrJuandiego1988 "Nigga"? Wow, your 4 year old slum-based vocabulary is really interesting. I feel bad for you, though. Do yourself a favor and go back to school.
@MrJuandiego1988 All I know, my dear, is that you are a racist loser. And yes, go to school - because THERE is the place where you can get cured of ignorance and intolerance. I don't know if you ever been to a school, but if you did, they did not do a good job. Racist people like you are the cancer of humanity. Too bad.
@valericool were in my comment i said something racist? the funny thing is my child is half black and here i have you mouthing off behind your computer! hahaha! your saying school is a place to stop intolerance? are you listening to the shit you're spewing from your mouth? i responded "but the word nigga runs rampant" when the OP said "we don't use the word nigger anymore'' me in a sense saying that both nigger and nigga need to stop its use!
@valericool you know what? im assuming you are white and if you are i will like to take the time to congratulate you on being the only non racist white person i've encountered on youtube!! i don't know if thats a good or bad thing! but oh well! congrats! ^_^
@valericool im not talking about the world. i'm talking about youtube ppl and youre lying to yourself if you dont think that the majority of the racist here are white! every rap video has "spic" this "nigger" that. if you really want to stop racism tis better to start with changing your kind!
@MrJuandiego1988 dude, you talk about humans like we were all animals. yes, the racist are like animals, of course. but i am not. i better live in peace and build up a better future. God bless you.
@valericool alll i have to say is WTF? animals??WOW! its crazy that you have nothing to say but still respond! grow up!! quit trying to have the last word! you replied to my shit! YOURE WRONG! face it! and quit talking to me! have a nice life youtube crusader! XD
@valericool "Nigga"? Wow, your 4 year old slum-based vocabulary is really interesting. I feel bad for you, though. Do yourself a favor and go back to school".- valericool....i started it? hahaha! of coarse you dont know me its YOUTUBE!!!! are you crazy???
i remember moms getting me to dance with her doing the swing and old school dancing with her. i miss you you jefita... memories..... they have another jam called "LEE GOOFED" its another classic....
This was one of my favs when I was six years old - actually when this song was out - used to imagine that probably something like this song was going on behind the "Green Door" Jim Lowe was so desperate to go through.
