So This Is Love- The Castells

[tut001x]

great make-out song.. LOL showing my age

[sgtlzy]

Turning 17 in 1962, the music that year was awful, I'll admit.

This is an exception!!!!

[kenzeetwo]

Thanks for your encouraging comment. Takes me back as well to the better times in my life.

[boomerang905]

I remember how much my sister and I loved Sacred by the Castells We were 12 and 14. And then this came out and I don't think anything was more beautiful at the time. It takes me back to sweet, innocent times that are actually the very best times.

[rcentinella]

Too much nostalgies of a dearest time...!

[blueyedKSGirl]

What an era these types of songs were made. Magical.

[brucer12]

One big under rated song which was so cool!!

[kenzeetwo]

Thanks

[klarkkent12]

Great song and sexy woman :)

[wynonie]

Those were the National Billboard Charts where it reached #21. It was much bigger regionally on the east coast, particularly the NYC area & Philadelphia. Superb sound on this video by the way.

[MrFacebookhater]

This song only reached position #21 in 1962?

Were "PEOPLE DEAF" in those days?

I am 37 and heard this song for the first time 2 years ago and I went NUTS for it!

THIS SONG IS AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!

[kenzeetwo]

Yes, and what a beautiful era it was:)

[klintos2]

Looking at the cover, this is how guys used to look and dress. A trip back in time. Just one beautiful song regardless of your style. I was fortunate to have grown up during the era.

[kenzeetwo]

Thanks recordman

[kenzeetwo]

Thanks recordman

[recordman4862]

Beautiful song 1961 thay dont make song like that ANYMORE

[CHECKMATEJASPER]

I just don't think that music can get any better than this. Great !!

[kenzeetwo]

Thanks

[nyimtman]

NICE, 5 BY 5

[kenzeetwo]

I love kisses Teresa:)

[kenzeetwo]

Yeah, you want to see the front end of an old car or A hot chick:)

[kenzeetwo]

Thank you so much for your input, to me rap isn't really music

[nanlisa]

What a beautiful song! I was only a little girl back in the early 60's and I was just too young to remember that period. I didn't hear this on the radio until 1993 on a Saturday night oldies show on New Jersey 101.5 (one of the local radio stations).

But I'd rather listen to this music than all of this junk that's out today. In fact, while I was going to get my monthly bus pass, I heard one of those horrible rap songs blaring from a car radio, with the M word coming out!

[grub44]

Many many thanks to you Ken for posting this - teresa- kisses kisses

[kenzeetwo]

Yeah, all of these great songs from the 50's and early 60's bring back many memories of the past. Thanks for your comment

[ChowHallCommando]

Beautiful song and memory from my childhood. I hear this and I picture my dad in front of my childhood home washing his 1960 Chavey impala as me and my brothers would help him. What a wonderful time we had growing up in 1960's Los Angeles.

[kenzeetwo]

Great song from a GREAT group

[JGUIGNARD]

My favorite song of theirs - had not heard it in years - thank you for postingit.

[bfkauffman]

You people who have an issue with the girl.... what is wrong with you? It's a pretty song- she's a pretty girl....Who cares if the "times" don't match.. kenzeetwo- take down the stupid cars and put the girls back...my gosh- no wonder this country is so screwed up!

[kenzeetwo]

Thanks for your uplifting comment Dino Tuned 1

[DinoTuned1]

kenzeetwo. Much nicer then watching alot of other vids on YouTube. I do love this song. Thank You for posting it.

[kenzeetwo]

What this girls photos have to do with the song...Well its personal. I'm a photographer of 35 years and I was in love with this beautiful young oriental lady from the moment I set eyes on her. For me "This Is Love, Real Love". It's too bad she didn't see it that way.

I'm really sorry if this offended you in any way. I received a few negative comments about my other picture videos with models, so my last 100 posts has photos of old cars.

[crusher1944]

@kenzeetwo WHAT THE HELL DO THEY KNOW, YOU AND I KNOW

[kenzeetwo]

Thanks for your comments

[Mamamoonie04]

@Kenzeetwo No offense but what does this young girl have to do with this song.

And no they are not currently playing, because my father died in 1998. I wish he had known how much people loved their music. He continued to play in small bands locally in northern california, under the name Dean Roberts sometimes, in the band DIamond 3. R.I.P. Robert Ussery, Love you Daddy

[TheNeonTide]

@Mamamoonie04 No offense but what does your father dying in 1998 have to do with this song.

[Mamamoonie04]

@TheNeonTide Did you bother to read the whole comment? My Dad is Bob Ussery.

[TheNeonTide]

@Mamamoonie04 no, your dad is Robert Ussery -.-

[Mamamoonie04]

@TheNeonTide My Dad preferred to be called Bob :) I won't partcipate in your trollness.

[WendyKS93]

The Castells at their very best.

[kenzeetwo]

Thank You For Your Comment

[joraldan]

beautiful song, thanks from Venezuela

[kenzeetwo]

Yeah, It's a great song

[kenzeetwo]

Sounds logical

[tas6010]

No, the Lettermen and the Castells had concurrent hits. More likely both groups were inspired by the Four Freshmen.

[kenzeetwo]

Thanks for your comment

[Sargethemedic1]

I wonder how many weddings back in the day had this playing?

[stanich054]

Great group sound. The Letterman may have copied this sound a little later with their hits!?

[Merrick11566]

So this is a beautiful song  A nice group are they performing now if so please answer back with info Thanks

[kenzeetwo]

Thanks you for your comments

[kcbill54]

This has to be one of the best songs from the early 60's, and a fine band they were indeed.

[sgtlzy]

Who would NOT love this oldie???

[rvictor64]

This group from Santa Rosa,California entered the recording business in 1961 and had their first hit with "Sacred" which became a national Hit. It was followed by "So this Love" in April 1962 and it also became a hit record and one of my favorites from an era where slow dancing was a special thing. The Castells had a few more recordings but they never became headliners even though the group had all of the ingredients to be more successful. Competition was tought!

1962.......what a thrill to dance to this with that someone special....remember? So sad kids today will never know the real feelings of that first love...first dance

[glaetze]

This song is celestial. I long for this time of innocence, long gone to commercialized, sluttish, lyrics, beats and in-your- face garbage, all done in the name of "reality".

[qb62ndmaintbn1967]

Had almost forgotten this sweet, smooth love song by the Castells. Thanks for sharing.

[kenzeetwo]

Thanks for your informative comment

[gem4777]

As a single in Billboard this song was pretty much equal to "Sacred". Sacred peaked at #20 with a 12-wk run in 1961, STIL peaked at #21 with a 13-wk run in 1962. Perhaps it's already been mentioned, but Chuck Girard was later with the Hondells and subsequently recorded Christian music.

[kenzeetwo]

Maybe through 1964

[toddwindyhill]

@kenzeetwo: Have you ever noticed how '50's radion on XM often plays songs that were in the 60's. It bothers me, because it's so unnecessary......and it's wrong.

[wackernie2009]

The 50s lasted pretty much through 1963......

[tunesmith09]

kenzeetwo...rarely do I offer any negative feedback but I must for this video. First, thank you for the post...one of my all time favorite songs/groups. She is attractive, but not an early 60's lady...doesn't dress like the beautiful young ladies did then...and forget the shoes she is wearing! I went to tons of Friday night dances then...worked after school and on weekends in a luncheonette. This lady is attractive but I'll take the gals of this era...please continue the great song posts.

[toddwindyhill]

@tunesmith09: Right on, brother!.....the natural and seemingly pure look of the late '50's to mid '60's ladies was amazing....I knew a number of them, and of course wish I'd known more.....had cutouts of some on my bulkhead during my sailor years.....even as we speak, we imagine those ladies have never changed......the best kind of memories, and songs like this make all timeless.

[tunesmith09]

@toddwindyhill I know that this site is not a blog, but may I please respectfully say thank you for your service to our country? I was never in the military, but my late brother served in the Army in Korea during the era of this song...and my late Dad served in the Army under General Patton during the Normandy Invasion...thankfully made it home safely. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours and all those who visit this awesome song by the Castells...Tunesmith

[toddwindyhill]

@toddwindyhill: Thanks!! Suggest Googling, "RADM Thomas E. Burke".......my Dad.

[TwinCityKillaz]

@tunesmith09 I thought the same thing...she looks (no offence indeed) like a mexican female that should be at a auto show next to a modified Honda of some sorts. I never got the Asian modifcation of small engine cars. I along the line of my father Live for Chevy!

[blueyedKSGirl]

One of my favorite songs. Beautiful words, beautiful voices. Thanks for posting it.  I could listen to this song over and over again.

[kjboogie]

Thanks for the post,

ken

[kenzeetwo]

"Real Love"...Yes, that's what this song is all about. I hope for you it never ends.

Thank's for the comment.

[toddwindyhill]

In the Fall of 1971, it was so plain to see we were really in love........real love......for her and for me.......Not long before, the sea, the stars and the moon was all I saw, but did dream of what I found........."so this is love"...........

[kenzeetwo]

Thank's for the post :)

[shifta65]

Beautiful song!  They just don't make music like this anymore.

[kenzeetwo]

Thanks for the comment. Great song, nice easy voice.

As far as the chic's...I'm a photographer and have a collection of many photos over the years:)

[fgonzalezcuba2008]
