I love, Lets Dance, and, Two faces have I, because I was the studio drummer on those 2 songs. Thanks for listenning to them and I loved working with Lou. He was a cool guy. I made no money on them being played on the radio because being a session drummer, your only paid for your time in the studio recording the song. I was paid union scale which was alot of money in those days, Roger Doyle. I have no complaints, thanks Lou.
The best era in music, songs that meant and sang with feeling, not like the CRAP nowadays. all voilence and hate. Love and miss this time in music. feel just like sjnathan 100 does, to relive the best in music. Thank u all who put all this GREAT music on u-tube. WoW!!! songs bring back such memories.
Hmm...songs with meaning. Odd how today...few are written like this. It reminds me of someone as well. Maybe he will find true happiness...some day. Fantasies don't fulfill. Good luck 2 u.
You bet, I love being "old"! I am so lucky to have grow up in the fabulous era! I wish I could go back in time and stay frozen forever! It was such an era of innocence! I still keep in touch with two of my classmates that I have known since kindergarten. The one woman sat next to me!
@WhiteHairedFreak. I feel you!! I LOVE this song, I'm just so scared to tell anybody I do!! I remember hearing it as a kid when I was five, it has just come out then. I was in Kindergarden. Do you think it will ever go back to music like this? Instead of the angry, yelling, foul language, over sexed music we hear today? I mean, nothing goes on forever, so doesn't that mean the music we hear today might die out too, then we can possibly go back to basics?
@coolmamac I often wonder WHY the Repub's didn;t run Pat Buchanan for Pres.' he would be great. Hey, I love Sarah P but wouldn't Huckabee been a better running mate? NWO in this whole mess. Only god can tear them down and I know for sure he hates them
@6000cat Are you constipated? These people are having fun! Leave them alone, and stop being a censor! No one is MAKING you read! No offense, but I'm a strong believer in free speech. I may not share your opinions, but I'll fight for your right to express them online, or ANYWHERE else! BTW, ALSO 1951! Love the sixties!
MY FATHER WOULD PLAY THIS ROLA LOUD AS HELL IN THE 53 FORD!! HAHA!!HELL YEAH POPS I LOVE YOU PLAY YOUR GOOD OLE JAMZ FOREVER I LOVE GOING FOR RIDES WITH YOU,ALL YOU HEAR IS THE DUAL EXAUST BARK WHEN U FLOOR IT WITH THIS JAM BLASTING!!!!:]
Somehow today this song came to mind today and started singing it in gym. My classmates stared at me...I am 14 so they have no idea about such classic songs as this.
@WhiteHairedFreak Here's an idea 4 you. Get some of your friends together, make a list of 8-10 songs like this one, and learn to sing them. forget if you sound good, just do it and have FUN. People who sing are healthier than them who don't
We are using this song in a play we are doing of Shakespeare's twelfth night. The clown sings it and she is woman in the front and when she turns around she's a guy!! It's hilarious!!!!!!
Great song. It has a very 50s sound to it, even though it's from 1963, but then again 1963 isn't that far outside of the 50s. The images also do a great job of evoking the span from the late 50s through the mid 60s, the time period my parents were teenagers.
Saw Lou years ago at the old Colosium in Cleceland, Ohio. He put on a really good show. Also, Frankie Ford,Little Anthoy., Brenda Lee, Lesley Gore, and Freddie Boom Boom Cannon were there.Wow were they great.
Hey I agree, wish you were born in the Lou era of music, it was sooooooooooo fantastic, the music today, is "TRASH" No music will ever be like it was in the 60's, no never! That was ROCK, AND ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@rhd1888 I was born in 1945 also and like you, I loved and still LOVE this music! We were so fortunate to be born and raised in that era! This was popular when I was a senior in high school. Oh, those were indeed happy days! I truly miss those times!
@sjnathan100 I'm just glad that there are records (and nowadays YouTube) so that people born after 1959 aren't deprived of the great music that shaped the baby boomer generation. Also, it helped that people like myself had parents that played music from the 40s, 50s, and 60s quite a lot when I was little.
When I a preschooler a Chinese restaurant in Duluth Minnesota called Joe Huey's had this in their jukebox. That was like back in '63,'64. I remember my little sister embarrassing me by getting up and dancing to this tune. Good time those.
.....6 for me...faces that is....Love the oldies....I was just born I think when this came out, but growing up my parents played all these hits, so I came to enjoy them....and clearly remember the Christie Lightening Strikes album and sang it high pitched every day ha.
Lou Christie was on the radio alot in the sixties. Its fun to remember hearing this song. My sister had a BIG crush on Lou. Hey, he was a handsome guy. You rock Lou..
I still sing lou's songs for people that make requests, and still can hit the high notes but gettin up there and will never stop singing unless I lose it..
Just to give you a note on Lou Christie, I saw him at the "Big Bam" show sponsored by WBAM Montgomery, AL . He was a big hit at every show he played. Sort of a one man Four Seasons. I like the falsetto. Not everyone has one ya know !
@tazlynn1965 No I grew up in Selma. Montgomery was the Big City for me when I was growing up. The Big Bam Show was from outter space then. I nevr could figure out how they could get all those "big stars" to come to little ole Alabama" It was a long time ago but good memories die last.
check these songs: Roy Orbison - Crying Primrose Lane by Jerry Wallace Ricky Nelson Tribute: Poor Little Fool Roy Orbison - Only The Lonely Paul Anka - Dance On Little Girl - 1961 Life could be a Dream Devil Woman ~ Marty Robbins Frankie Laine Age 92 Anthony Newley : Why ? Vic Dana - My heart belongs to only you Please Love Me Forever-Bobby Vinton Paul Anka - Goodnight My Love Johnny Crawford - Sandy
@jonnebonn Don't be sad, that means you'll be around for quite sometime to be able to enjoy this type of music. It will be up to you and others your age to keep this type of music alive. My daughter is your age and she loves this stuff too.
@Mgarguemare thanks for the nice words :) yeah this music lives on forever :) and we gonna keep it that way. but something that i want back is the clothes, the hair, the cars, and those little places you could go to and dance and listen to this music :) like mum and dad did
I love this song. I can imagine Lou singing this live in the parking lot of the Drive In hamburger place with muscle cars and hot rods in the lot, girls in poodle skirts dancing, chewing bubble gum and blowing bubbles...
this song was on the radio same time as suki yaki. and some other asian song. i confused it as an asian song. later the freakish male to falsetto was said to trigger john lennon to commit to music. and later still adam lambert does not see the truth of his success.
I had my balls removed just so I could sing this high, but I still couldn't. And now they won't re-hook up my balls!! Are there any lawyers out there?
@lifenetter This song is more or less ska. The form of Jamaican music prior to reggae. Could this possibly had been the first ever Jamaican influenced song to hit American radio back in 1963? I say yes!!!!!!!!!
@yanollores23 You missed something great Yanollores. it was awesome to see people like Lou perform live and have music that you could actually dance to.
@yanollores23 I was a teenager at the time and it was such an innocent era and the music was and is still the best! Call me old. I really don't care. I am forever grateful that I was born and raised in that era. It was the best of times. And yes, most "music" now is just plain trash.
@sjnathan100, I was a teenager in the 70's and even back then I wished I had lived my young years either in the 50's or 60's. I have always believed that those decades were the best time for teenagers. Times definitely were much simpler and innocent and not like today- that in spite of having so much technology- teenagers are so empty, selfish, arrogant, and plain disrespectful. Besides, the music was 100x better than today's crap.
@fierrote It was quite an era! It is gone forever and will never come back. That is the sad part. So many younger people that I know feel the same way as you do. The music industry today just reflects the decline in our culture across the board.
@ozzierocker, you know, you are right. I made the mistake of generalizing. not all the teenagers of today are like that... but a great deal of them are.
I agree with you, but you have to remember the 60's also had the 68 democratic convention, RFK and Martin Luther King murdered, Vietnam, racial riots, the weathermen, and so on....
@LASchgos, well every decade and every generation has had it share of problems. Today not only do we have political & war issues, threats of nuclear war (there are a lot more countries with atomic bombs today), but a whole of lot more like over-population, pollution everywhere, energy crisis, f-up crazy weather with extreme tornadoes, earthquakes, satanic music in mainstream media, etc. that in those years you didn't hear about, or at least we were not aware or didn't come out in the open.
Nuclear threat..Cuban Missile Crisis and Cold War...Main stream media mentioned on occasion Anton Lavey and lets not forget about Charlie Manson..Whats wrong with todays ideals started with Nixon Collapsing Bretton Woods followed up by Watergate, and correcting you child with a crack on the butt is now considered child abuse..and how many "moral" people are left...
@LASchgos Actualy (imo) the downfall began when the US Supreme court ruled the Bible and the Lord's prayer out of our schools. Today no bible. Drug gnags instead. I remember the day JFK assasinated.. that day was the blackes one I have ever known. More than 9-11, because I think America has never bene the same since that day. That's (imo) when the downfall began. Now the humanists are running things and look what we have 'achieved' :p~~ I am very RW, but liked JFK a whole lot more than Nixon
@coolmamac He hated the mafia. He hated communism. He warned America of what was to come. We didn't listen. Not they have infiltrated the univeristies, legal system, and uhHollywood, and they have wrecked the minds of two generations of kids. They boasted "America would be taken over without anyone firing a shot. They will fall like a like a ripe plum" I have lived to watch this happen. :(.. and most of America has no idea what's happened. However, my home: Not this world :)
@coolmamac If it is on U TUbe I will find it. I do believe there is a group of wicked people who are pulling the strings. I refuse to believe Bush Jr had any notion to what he was up against. His daddy definitely a NWO Illuninati.. not a christian at all imho. I remember his first words after desert storm, "This is the begining of a new world order" I had a chill go through me. He is a player.
@coolmamac part 2: Blackest day in American history was when 5 evil men agreed to take the bible and prayer out of our schools. Six months later JFK was shot dead. Now we have no prayer allowed at all, no bibles, teachers who are satanists, and drug gangs and drive by shootings. God has handed us over to a reprobate mind. May he have mercy on my generation for worshipping elvis more than him
@meezerlover1 Well this will sound old fashioned, but the biggest hope the US really has is that they will follow God's instructions and do the following: Pray for their president, that God give him wisdom, and believe it or not, he can also send delusion if he chooses to. Secondly, the true 'church' (not a building) has to believe and act on a promise that's found in 2 Chor 7:14. The aetheists? All they need to do is leave the Christians alone. God will take down US' enemies, speedily
@skaha77 save us from the people who think god will solve all our problems. If he hasn't done it before why would he do it now? Then again I don't even believe there is a god.
@lasktguy Yah ok so you know everything. Shut up and go away. "The fool has said in his heart, 'there is no God' " Psalm 51 but you are too much of a coward to open a bible for fear your frineds will see you and ridicule you. Fear of man is a huge trap. so is pride and ego. Both own you
@skaha77 as a child I went to catholic church and classes so I've been read the bible. As an adult I looked into Southern Baptistism, Buddhism, spiritualism and recently, the mormon church. After all that I still find I don't believe there is a god. By the way, shut up and go away isn't a very christian thing to say. Neither is saying I am prideful and egotistical. You know what is said about judging others. Maybe you should look inwards and see what is making you so unhappy and angry.
@lasktguy Blah blah blah. You are an aetheist, a know it all, and are lost. I also cannot dialogue with someone as pompous as yourself. that said, Merry Christmas. Now please go away
@skaha77 - read the books of conservative writer Anthony Sutton. His books will show you that it was Republicans on Wall Street who financed both Lenin and Hitler. And remember, he was a conservative.
@1400deadwood Andy sutton is a lying bastard. To suggest that the free USA would finance their adversaries might sell to today's college crowd, but you aren't fooling me, now go suck the socks of your muslim buddies.. if not muslim, then socialists
@skaha77 - you don't know shit from shinola buddy. Sutton was employed as Research Fellow at the Republican Stanford University's Hoover Institution 1968 to 1973. He knew that party better than anyone. Do your homework and don't make such an ignorant arse of yourself.
@1400deadwood Of course I know shit, I've met YOU> Half the researchers and profs in our universities are communists or humanists and they are set on destroying capitalism and moving us to a socialist republic. You are one fo them so go Lick Maslow's boots.. obtw you are a mouthy bastard, to boot
@skaha77 - another horse sh1t comment from a far right ultra fascist. Colleges are capitalist profit making institutions, especially Stanford which was founded by a millionaire elitist. What's the matter - can't stand the truth about your party and its support of Lenin or Hitler? The truth does hurt doesn't it, traitor?
Prof Sutton wrote the truth and that's why a fascist like you hates it when that truth is exposed. Keep up your treasonous sh1t & I'll post more truths.
@coolmamac Actually a lot of that speech is on U Tube. I remember it first hand. Even today, when I think of that day, I get two things: Chill up my back and tears, and if anyone mentions Marylin Monroe and JFK I am going to punch his lights out.. U TUBE style ;) (much safer)
@fierrote Ya but.. they have been programmed ot be like that. Ever met some of their parents? mid 40's are the lousiest decade of parents I have ever seen, but I aint seen 'em all yet. Technology has helped us.. like this U TIbe for eg; but in other ways, it has ruined us. So many young people fat and out of shape. I was 61 y.o. at my nieces wedding and at the reception, the last one to get tired on the dance floor.
I love, Lets Dance, and, Two faces have I, because I was the studio drummer on those 2 songs. Thanks for listenning to them and I loved working with Lou. He was a cool guy.

@jonnebonn Don't be sad, that means you'll be around for quite sometime to be able to enjoy this type of music. It will be up to you and others your age to keep this type of music alive. My daughter is your age and she loves this stuff too.

I love this song. I can imagine Lou singing this live in the parking lot of the Drive In hamburger place with muscle cars and hot rods in the lot, girls in poodle skirts dancing, chewing bubble gum and blowing bubbles...
Those were the days.

When I first heard this song I was just a kid - and I thought it was Frankie Valli.........that high pitch style..
McGlasshole 2 years ago 2
this song was on the radio same time as suki yaki. and some other asian song. i confused it as an asian song. later the freakish male to falsetto was said to trigger john lennon to commit to music. and later still adam lambert does not see the truth of his success.

@lifenetter This song is more or less ska. The form of Jamaican music prior to reggae. Could this possibly had been the first ever Jamaican influenced song to hit American radio back in 1963? I say yes!!!!!!!!!

sjnathan100 10 months ago
@sjnathan100, I was a teenager in the 70's and even back then I wished I had lived my young years either in the 50's or 60's. I have always believed that those decades were the best time for teenagers. Times definitely were much simpler and innocent and not like today- that in spite of having so much technology- teenagers are so empty, selfish, arrogant, and plain disrespectful. Besides, the music was 100x better than today's crap.

@fierrote It was quite an era! It is gone forever and will never come back. That is the sad part. So many younger people that I know feel the same way as you do. The music industry today just reflects the decline in our culture across the board.

@LASchgos, well every decade and every generation has had it share of problems. Today not only do we have political & war issues, threats of nuclear war (there are a lot more countries with atomic bombs today), but a whole of lot more like over-population, pollution everywhere, energy crisis, f-up crazy weather with extreme tornadoes, earthquakes, satanic music in mainstream media, etc. that in those years you didn't hear about, or at least we were not aware or didn't come out in the open.

Nuclear threat..Cuban Missile Crisis and Cold War...Main stream media mentioned on occasion Anton Lavey and lets not forget about Charlie Manson..Whats wrong with todays ideals started with Nixon Collapsing Bretton Woods followed up by Watergate, and correcting you child with a crack on the butt is now considered child abuse..and how many "moral" people are left...
LASchgos 8 months ago
@LASchgos Actualy (imo) the downfall began when the US Supreme court ruled the Bible and the Lord's prayer out of our schools. Today no bible. Drug gnags instead. I remember the day JFK assasinated.. that day was the blackes one I have ever known. More than 9-11, because I think America has never bene the same since that day. That's (imo) when the downfall began. Now the humanists are running things and look what we have 'achieved' :p~~ I am very RW, but liked JFK a whole lot more than Nixon

@skaha77 I have often the same thing. After JKF was shot, America lost it's heart. We realized that the powers that be could do what they pleased.
JFK would have been the best president of the last century if allowed to live. He is the last real president not controlled by the NWO.

Not they have infiltrated the univeristies, legal system, and uhHollywood, and they have wrecked the minds of two generations of kids. They boasted "America would be taken over without anyone firing a shot. They will fall like a like a ripe plum" I have lived to watch this happen. :(.. and most of America has no idea what's happened. However, my home: Not this world :)

His daddy definitely a NWO Illuninati.. not a christian at all imho. I remember his first words after desert storm, "This is the begining of a new world order" I had a chill go through me. He is a player.

@coolmamac part 2: Blackest day in American history was when 5 evil men agreed to take the bible and prayer out of our schools. Six months later JFK was shot dead. Now we have no prayer allowed at all, no bibles, teachers who are satanists, and drug gangs and drive by shootings. God has handed us over to a reprobate mind. May he have mercy on my generation for worshipping elvis more than him

@meezerlover1 Well this will sound old fashioned, but the biggest hope the US really has is that they will follow God's instructions and do the following: Pray for their president, that God give him wisdom, and believe it or not, he can also send delusion if he chooses to. Secondly, the true 'church' (not a building) has to believe and act on a promise that's found in 2 Chor 7:14. The aetheists? All they need to do is leave the Christians alone. God will take down US' enemies, speedily

@lasktguy Yah ok so you know everything. Shut up and go away. "The fool has said in his heart, 'there is no God' " Psalm 51 but you are too much of a coward to open a bible for fear your frineds will see you and ridicule you. Fear of man is a huge trap. so is pride and ego. Both own you
skaha77 1 month ago
@skaha77 as a child I went to catholic church and classes so I've been read the bible. As an adult I looked into Southern Baptistism, Buddhism, spiritualism and recently, the mormon church. After all that I still find I don't believe there is a god. By the way, shut up and go away isn't a very christian thing to say. Neither is saying I am prideful and egotistical. You know what is said about judging others. Maybe you should look inwards and see what is making you so unhappy and angry.

@skaha77 - you don't know shit from shinola buddy. Sutton was employed as Research Fellow at the Republican Stanford University's Hoover Institution 1968 to 1973. He knew that party better than anyone. Do your homework and don't make such an ignorant arse of yourself.

@skaha77 - another horse sh1t comment from a far right ultra fascist. Colleges are capitalist profit making institutions, especially Stanford which was founded by a millionaire elitist. What's the matter - can't stand the truth about your party and its support of Lenin or Hitler? The truth does hurt doesn't it, traitor?
Prof Sutton wrote the truth and that's why a fascist like you hates it when that truth is exposed. Keep up your treasonous sh1t & I'll post more truths.
