Gene Chandler - Duke Of Earl [Very Good(-) quality / No mpg4 resolution]

This is simply the best doo wop ballad ever, if you experts agree that this is doo wop. Gene sang this song in the 1962 movie "Dont Knock the Twist", but here's an appearance from 1965.

[SixtiesPopGold]

@kf932009 You're right. All clips on this show (Hollywood A Go Go) were playback.

I truly feel sorry for the many younger generations of today that don't have the ability and/or desire to know and love this music.

Get this, I know axactly where i was when this came on, 1962 at a stop light

in, oh id kill for this, 1958 Mercury Park Lane white with gold guts.And now with

all this new stuff, that am radio worked perfectly. Was 16 now an old man, but I

still have the Mercury. played this stuff for 39rys B3 Hammond guy & still got

B3 & Mercury.

@RockItalian kids are to busy watching tv and playing play station, music and art is out of todays kids lifes. painting, passion for music is long gone. Now its all machines, even music has no melodies or harmonies. The golden era of art and music has passed..and its only going to get worst. in 100 years...humans will be like programs without any feelings or love.

That was Sam Riddle, right! I was about 11 going on 12 when this song came out. I'm 62 now and have it on my ipod. I imagine when you young people reach your sixties you'll have music on your ipod (or whatever they'll have then) that you grew up with as well. Interesting how history in some ways repeats itself.

This nr one the day am born. Its nice

[BeatlefanAfter909]

@RockItalian I'm 19.....and I've been listening to 50's and 60's music since I was 13?? I love doo wop. I also love Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Fred Astaire, and Gene Kelly. My all time favourite band is The Beatles. Some younger generations do love this music. I can truly tell you that I've listened as far back as Cab Calloway! =) Minnie The Moocher is my favourite!!!!!

@GK1918, you go with your bad self brother and that bitchin Merc!!!! This music is timeless

[longjacketanx]
