@divastarz325 imagine the tears that form in the corners of many a listeners eyes when they remember the years around when certain songs came out. this one is more special to me than most songs. i was 12 then. now 47 i guess im an oldie too... wow how time passes. days gone by, good friends lost (wipes a tear)... just glad we were all there at the time. now i kind of know what my dad feels.

My God, what has happened to music? If I could find a radio station that still played doo-wop and the TRUE classics, I'd never listen to anything put out today. Keep these oldies alive and deep within the heart.

@ronwhite27 ... hi Ron... it's not just doo-wop, there are so many songs of such beautiful innocence around this era that i could go on for some time. Look after yourself - Stars, Lying in the arms of mary, love and other bruises, girls on the avenue, only sixteen, im not in love, and then all the great pop songs. yep im lost in the 70's but lived it up in the 80's. i will upload more OL'55 real soon.

check out my favs and playlists for more 70's 80's.

have fun

Oi Oi Oi..... (for deathcrusader1)

I had my first root when this song was playing in my old XB falcon lol still remember it today many years on

Rockpile Jones is one of the best ever vocalists in this country and should've been recognised as so. If you haven't heard 'Stay (While the Night Is Young)' & 'Feels Like a Summer's Night', do yourself a favour ;)

im 15 and keen to say, ol' 55 would have to be one of my most favourite bands to date. i even got frankie j's autograph. !

i am 63 from pittsburgh, pa. i just want to say that doo-wop is the best music ever. back then there was no black or white music. it was all great music!!!! the great times i had at the high school dances (WOW) how great it was. my first love the first time i held a girl in my arms!!! I would give anything to be back there again. long live the doo-wop sound. TOM BRANTNER SR. PITTS. PA.
