[Matuguina11]

This is another beautiful song. I love listening to the old songs of the 50's they all sounds great had beautiful voice! Thanks again for posting. Love this!

[jekiwe]

great harmony by Toni, Patti and Laverne from Ohio. TY for uploading one I hadn't heard by them and of course radio plays only "born too late"..like it's the only song they ever recorded. radio today leaves so much to be desired. jeff

[MagicGary1960]

Toni Cistone, Patti McCabe, Karen Topinka, and Laverne Novak four beautiful voices that could'nt be beat In the late 50's early 60's long live the Poni Tails of Lyndhurst, Ohio!!!

I can help with one ID: Patsy McCabe is the lowest face on the photo. (She was my next-door neighbor on Brainard Road in Lyndhurst, Ohio.) When the Poni Tails' stint as singers ended Patsy worked for a while at a Coke or Pepsi bottling company in Cleveland. RLQ, CF Brush H.S. '62

@peckhorn44 Charles F. Brush H. S. '90. Go Arcs!

How good is it to listen to such a beautiful old song , not a "doff,doff" in sight . God where have those days gone .

[Ezdduf4kuZ]

They remind me of te Chordettes. I do know that this was on the music charts back before the Ponytails covered it again. I'll tell you this much I prefer this song to their big hit "Born to Late", nver liked it in school & disliked it even more out of school but didn't hear it much as it wasn't played along with all the other flashbacks from years gone by. One has to resort to the internet & youtube to get the scoop & listen. We have 7 fm stations playing pop but none play Doowop.Thx

[stafylides]

Where are these ladies now? are they British or American?

[zipsrule]

@stafylides They graduated from Charles F. Brush High School in Lyndhurst Ohio in 1957. One of the singers is deceased.

[stafylides]

@zipsrule Thank you for the reply. Isn't this rendition of Vera Lynn's "I'll be seing you" ?

[TheLimePopsicle]

@stafylides Read my description underneath the video to find out the origins of the song.

[MagicGary1960]

@zipsrule Yeah the late Patti McCabe? Funny I know at one time the Jimmy Conners was married to a Patti McCabe I know it was'nt her thou!!1

[MagicGary1960]

@MagicGary1960 Actually I was wrong there Jimmy Connors was married to Playboy Playmate Patti McGuire!!!

[Jeffs45rpm]

Ahhh.....the Three little girls from Brush High in Lyndhurst, Ohio..right near Cleveland. Toni Cistone in lead...LaVerne Novak.....and Patti McCabe....great little posting..circa 1958. The Master was cut on ABC as I remember.. Should have faired much better IMO.... Listen to the Skyliners version with the great Janet Vogel. and Jimmy Beaument...great stuff ! Thanks for posting.... jeffs45rpm fifty's4ever

[zipsrule]

@Jeffs45rpm Karen Topinka was in the original lineup instead of LaVerne Novak.

[krbwjbarry]

What a GREAT version of this classic song from the greatest era in music. These ladies are truly a class act. Thank you for posting this timeless masterpiece.

[TheLimePopsicle]

Thanks again, Lime, for posting this--wonderful!

[TheLimePopsicle]

@hawleyjane1 You're welcome!

[sparwood8]

I love these ladies. Nice music

[TheLimePopsicle]

@sparwood8 Thanks for your comments!

[sparwood8]

@TheLimePopsicle Y welcome. Their best song 'Born Too Late' MAN! When I hear this stuff again, I am happy and blessed to have been born right on time!!!

[Wolfsky9]

@TheLimePopsicle Sir, Can you please tell me, just who is in this later photo? I'm still trying to figure out just who it was that I had such a crush on, after seeing them on "A.B.", doing Born Too Late. From this Pic, I can't tell at all. Can you compare this pic to the one from "BTL"? Thank-you! Wolfsky9

[TheLimePopsicle]

@Wolfsky9 To be honest, I'm not sure which girl is which either. I'm sure someone will know and be able to help out though. Hopefully they will comment soon!

[hawleyjane1]

What a heart-breakingly beautiful song! Loved the original by Frank Sinatra and the re-make by Rod Stewart, and this one is just as good--fabulous!

[Wolfsky9]

Just a gorgeous version, & I do remember this. In Denver, on KOSI, 1630 AM, one of the DJ's was in love with these girls, & he played this one, as well as " Born Too Late". These were 3 very talented & pretty young girls, from a better, more innocent time. Thank-you for this Post! Wolfsky9, 64 y/o now.

[TheLimePopsicle]

@Wolfsky9 Very well-said. The Poni-Tails also deserve much more respect and recognition than they get from so-called music historians.

@TheLimePopsicle Music Historians: Only groups that are more obnoxious are the grammar cops of U Tube and real life politicians

[mezskr4]

Yes this was a very good effort by the girls,but maybe it did not make it because it was not there regular style of music.Still I liked it.Great picture of them.Where did you ever find it.Thanks for posting.

[LaVerne37]

my first listen...you are absolutely right...many thanks for sharing!

FIVE...no TEN MILLION STARS...
