THE ORLONS- "SOUTH STREET"

ROSE TO #3 IN 1963. LYRICS: Where do all the hippies meet? (South Street, South Street)
Where the dancin is elite (South Street, South Street)
Side by side we're loose and neat
When we're stompin down the street
Hurry down, baby she's the hippest street in town!(Oh baby)

Meet me, on South Street, oh yeah, hurry on down
Come on now, meet me on South Street
The hippist street in town
Well you take West Street, East Street, North Avenue
(Cause I know) South Street's the best street
To have a ball with you

Do you hear that groovy beat? (South Street, South Street)
Don't it make you move your feet? (South Street, South Street)
Everybody gathers round
Cause they dig that crazy sound
Now hurry down, baby she's the hippest street in town

(Oh baby) Meet me on South Street, (come on) oh yeah, hurry on down
Come on now, meet me on South Street, the hippist street in town
(Well you take) West Street, East Street, North Avenue
(Cause I know) South Street's the best street
To have a ball with you

My favorite Orlons' recording. I turned 16 in the Spring of 1963 and just loved their music. Sadly, this genre of music was sent packing by the Fall of the same year when the Beatles, Stones and DC5 landed on the shores of America. Thanks Ron, for all the great music you post that always takes me back to my musical roots.

[rwells47]

@MrRonnieG- you are very welcome- I will continue to post more music. God Bless you, Ron

On this date in 1963 {Feb. 16th} "South Street" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100; eventually it peaked at No. 3 and spent 13 weeks in the Top 100

Ranked 47th on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 Singles of 1963 chart

Was the last of three straight records by the Orlons to make Billboard's Top 10; started with "The Wah Watusi" {#2}, then "Don't Hung Up {#4}, and finally "South Street {#3}...

@Adrian68ification igrew up on this music

[oldermusiclover]

do you who played sax on the Orlons tunes. also have a suggestion(don't know if would work)

have someone who has conections set up a web sight just to answer questions about songs, musicians, groups etc. and maybe one for those of us who would love to have an autograph of someone in a video before they all pass away. iof the person doesn't want their life inturepted that way. ok but might be worth thinking about.
