Sha Na Na - I'll Never Stop Loving You

[kangadillo]

Love it, love it, love it! Yay Bowzer and Johnny!

[robertacatholic]

i love bowers bass notes he can really go low

[robertacatholic]

who originally sang this song 

[VinelandNJ]

@robertacatholic... Doris Day had an "adult contemporary" hit with "I'll Never Stop Loving You" back in 1955, but in 1964, Tommy Reagan and The Halos "Doo-Wopped" it and enjoyed significant success... obviously the version Sha Na Na is covering is Tommy Reagan's.

[dkp1948]

I am so glad I looked Shanana up Been listening all of them. Best entertainment ever. Now to find Sonny and Cher show. :-) They had a great show also

[ContardoholicFan]

Just To Think... JC= 60 On: 12/23/2011 'Yikes' I'm Hoping ALL Sha-Na-Na Fans' Kindly Find A Way To Tell JC That He's Still LOVED & Appreciated...He's Worth ALL Credit, I've ALWAYS Been A Fan Of His & Bowzer's Too, I Wish Sha-Na-Na Was On DVD/Video, That Won't Happen UNTIL... We Fans DEMAND It/ & Some Company Produces It, UNTIL Then, THANKS To ALL Who Post Sha-Na-Na Videos' On YouTube !! :=)

[noosmum]

@ContardoholicFan Johnny is still the sexiest man alive, and the nicest too(sorry hubby) and I love him loads sixty is but a number, his voice is the same as ever, and i would sell my soul to be able to meet him , but distance is a problem , not to mention several hours of flying time!! But J. can rest assured that he is very much loved xx

[mcsina]

That's when music was *fun* not lyrics that beat up on women/girls or making everything so darn serious! Plus has fun upbeat dancing music wayyyyy back then!

[wyldmountnhoney]

wish I could get an audio of the show performances from Johnny

[kinbigbird]

Grease for Peace!

[Tonithenightowl]

Johnny makes me weak in the knees. How dare he? lol Can you imagine being given a voice like that?

[Careybell13]

i like bowzer

[cevc918]

Heaven :D

[doowopbruce]

You forgot The Corvairs' song "True True Love".

[MrTyronety]

A great cover to Tommy Reagan's song on Colpix. Love it man.

[Tonithenightowl]

Bowser and Johnny are incredible together in this song. Johnny can hit the high notes and Bowser the low ones. Fantastic !!!!!!!

[doowopbruce]

@Tonithenightowl Check out "Don't Be A LItterbug" by The Len-Dells. Gary Young hits all the high AND low notes on ONE take!

[Tonithenightowl]

@doowopbruce Honestly didn't know the song or the group, being there were so many groups with "dell" in their names it was hard to keep track. Heard the song and yes classic doo wop done very well. Thanks for responding.

[sirdaveo]

Bring back music, please?

[85Roa]

where i can find this song??

[mikestheman3]

Sure glad Johnny did the lead on this!!

[cmt39]

Two questions. Will the Sha Na Na ever come on DVD and does Denny still sing now? I know that the rest of them are still involved with singing.

[BigDutch100]

See Sha Na Na BBB

and Sha Na Law

Foofsmom has uploaded most of the TV shows

Grease for peace, I have their CDs and play them while driving for hours

any ladies agree, email me !

[bloodytears2006]

I'm 32 year's and I sit in my mom bedroom listen to my lp records of Sha Na Na's and when they had reruns of the show I watch them ty so much posting the video brings back great memories.Bowzer Rules!!!!!!

[kinbigbird]

Bowzer rocks

[kinbigbird]

Today bowser is a dude in a game. This is the Bowser and sha na na at their best,BRING BACK DooWop I can still watch this though Thanks for the upload.Grease for Peace

[pillockbrain]

Hey-Gopherscout,

Eat your heart out- I have three 3xhour video tapes of Sha-Na-Na, recorded from the T.V in the 1980s!! I loved them then, and still do..Such great talent..

[sweetipie1965]

Johnny was born in 51, he joined Sha Na Na in 71 when he was 19

[999YORK]

@sweetipie1965 - I am sorry I did not explain myself well. I guess what I was trying to say if he lived in the Doo wop Era (1954-1963), and groups were looking for a lead singer. There would have been a bidding war if they heard Mr. Contardo sing.

[sweetipie1965]

@999YORK

I understand now...LOL...when they were on in the late 70's my mother could not be convinced that the guys weren't her age...LOL I tried to tell her that Johnny was actually younger than my sister, but she wouldn't believe me...LOL

[Tonithenightowl]

@999YORK I agree, they would have killed for the voices of Bowser and Johnny. How wonderful that they were able to recreate that era as Sha na na.

[999YORK]

I agree with you. I'm from a different era (70's and 80's), but fell in love with doo wop. Loved the PBS specials. The song Ding a Ling Ding Dong was well done by Sha Na Na. Too bad Johnny Contardo did not lead sing for a group back in the 50's and early 60's.

[doowopp45]

frickin awesome I absolutely love doo wop

[PJDooWop]

Interesting.. Someone in Sha Na Na (or one of their producers) was really hardcore into doo wop. They start off with True True Love by The Corvairs and then I'll Never Stop Loving You by Tommy Reagan.. Sha Na Na does a great job on both records too

[SkippyWalls]

Oh Foofsmom, I can't believe I forgot this song!!

[65wendym]

moo pa pa cow wow! LOL you just don't find lyrics like that anymore! Mind you, you don't find talent like this anymore, either!

[gopherscout]

Sha Na Na is Awesome! I watched their TV show in the late 70's, I was in my very early 20's; I was born in 1957! These videos are bringing back a lot of great memories! Thanks Faerydancer for posting this & the other SNN videos!

[NYredwhiteandblue]

Wow, I remember them too, I was born in 68 and I remember I couldn't wait to see Bowzer lol I never missed a show....:)

[gopherscout]

Cool! It's a real shame that they can't get the show on DVD due to licensing fees, etc. I'm sure it would sell extremely fast. But, at least we have the videos on You Tube!

[999YORK]

I saw Sha Na Na four times in the 70's. Johnny Contardo has the best tenor voice I ever heard.

[SkippyWalls]

I agree!! His voice is clear, strong and he has incredible range!!!

[littlequeen64]

gold suits.............

[carolsholmes]

Wow...i just found a place online and listened to Tommy Reagan & the Halos. It is clear that this is the version Shanana was covering. David Whitfield may have done it in the 50's but it sure wasn't doo-wop. Just another bit of useless trivia: David Whitfield also sang "Cara Mia" as a slow love song that was later released by Jay & the Americans.

[bobnjoanne]

Carol, Thank you very much for your kind e-mail reply. Iactually found the original doo-wop version of this song. recorded by a group called Tommy Regan and The Haloes on the Colpix Label in 1964. The same record company that signed The Marcels to record the doo-wop version of Blue Moon in 1961. I collect records (over 25,000 at last count lol) I was able to find/ listen to Tommy Regan & Haloes singing this song. Sound a lot like Marcels and this is indeed their song, Sha na na is covering

[carolsholmes]

I heard this recorded in the late 50's by a young Welsh singer named David Whitfield. It was a slow romantic lovesong

[bobnjoanne]

However, I never heard this doo-wop version of I'll Never Stop Loving You. Johnny sings it great. Can someone please tell me who recorded this version that he must be covering ( since that's what Sha-na-na did ). Thanks!

[carolsholmes]

the first time I heard this was in the late 50's. it was recorded by a singer from Wales named David Whitfield

[bobnjoanne]

Thank you so much for posting this. I was stationed overseas during the period Sha-na-na- had their TV show. I am also a record collector with over 25,000 45's. I thought I was familiar with every doo-wop song recorded until I saw this video. I realize this is two songs in one--done very brillantly and the first song is TRUE, TRUE LOVE. I also know that Doris Day sang a much slower, romantic version of the second song (in the first motion picture she made in 1955 I believe). CON'T

[nerdacity]

5 big stars!

[Saethchan]

My parents used to breed St Bernard Dogs... they loved this band so much, they named the best of one of the litters after Bowser. :) It's the reason I'm looking for clips of Shanana. XD

[SkippyWalls]

Bowser, best bass in the business, Johnny best falsetto!!!

[Prince7580]

Please Upload More Sha Na Na Videos

[ContardoholicFan]

To all who agree w/ my comments, I can just say this..."Thanks-Y'all!!" You can quote me on that. I do hope that whomever puts this on DVD, as of: 02/27/09... I'll be: 35-Yrs. of age, & maybe somebody will put all of: "Sha-Na-Na" on DVD this year, to be cont...

[msdemme2]

I myself faithfully watched these boys on TV. I love the memories.Brings a smile to my face and puts a skip in my step and a song in my heart ♥

[SADDAMONKEY]

Good music!!

[Prince7580]

I love it very much. :)

[ContardoholicFan]

To That Person Who Disliked My Sha-Na-Na Comments', You're "Rude-Attitude" Isn't Called For, I Was Born In: 1974, & This Era Of Music Is Older Than I Am, & The Current Sha-Na-Na Is Not The Same As The TV-Era Of Sha-Na-Na, & Johnny Contardo & Bowzer Are My Fave From Sha-Na-Na, I'm A Music-Appreciator, Except For "Rap-Music", I Totally Dislike "Rap-Music".

[ngc70000]

ContardoholicFan,

You misunderstood my reply. I was actually supportive of your comment.

My point was that as years go by ... ... more and more people from later generations appreciate the musical talent

of gifted people before their time.

I agree with your comments on Sha-Na -Na and many of the posted videos are among my favorites.

I should have been more clearer on my first comment to avoid misunderstanding.

[joseharmonies]

beuatiful song and great performance, especially what concerns to the bassman. Great!

[ContardoholicFan]

Although I Watched Sha-Na-Na On TV, The Era These Songs Came From Predates Me By 10-Plus Years At-Least, Yup, I Was Born In The

1970's..."Sigh"... Still Great Music Though!!

[ngc70000]

ContardoholicFan,

Regardless of Era ... remember this ...

A "bazillion" people worldwide ... from many cultures and countries still love Mozart and many others from long ago.

In that time scale, Sha-Na-Na is very recent and will contimue to grow in many hearts that listen to their music.

... after all all ...

Great music ... IS ... Great music ...

... regardless of era :)

[ContardoholicFan]

Anything that Johnny Contardo sings the Lead Vocals in is Totally Awesome!!

[rocknroll1955]

[crunchfunkel]

Love this song (Pop-a-cow-mow and all)! Other than Doris Day in a very different slow version, who else sang this?

[phantomangel21]

Johnny's voice could melt the coldest heart...what an awesome talent!!

[angelsavage73]

Moo-pop-a-cow! LMAO

[faerydancer]

OMG I know! lol Makes me crack up.

[djcg97]

Please post as many of Sha Na Na's music clips from their show as soon as possible. I grew up with the show and sure have missed them. I hope these shows get to DVD sometime soon.

[vegaslover777]

I've been saying that for years. Once their show is on DVD if it ever happens, I'll buy every year. LOVE Sha Na Na!

[lorjokr]

Wow, faerydanceer, you know we can't thank you enough for addin all these great vids. I doubt Sony knows what a gold mine (no pun intended, LOL) they're standing on, if only they would release all these on DVD.

[JDLkids3]

I emailed Dirty Dan once. He's really cool
