Thanks Harry, I have it on a 45 along with many others I haven't played in years. Some day I'm going to take them out and play them all. I have to get one of those things you put in the center of the 45's. I forget what we called them.

@robshannon I don't think we ever called those inserts anything except "those things". I have no idea what they are actually called.

[robshannon]

@HarryWarner There is a name for "those things" now I have to find out cause its bugging me.

[HarryWarner]

@robshannon The best I can find is that the inserts were called 45 rpm adapters or 45 rpm spindle adapters. Also RCA called their snap-in inserts "spiders". Maybe someone else can come up with an actual "official" name for "those things".

[robshannon]

If I'm correct, this is the flip side of I Only Want You.

[HarryWarner]

@robshannon You are correct - Audicon 105 recorded in 1960

I just want to thank you for posting this video. My uncle is Anthony Armato, one of the original members of The Passions. In the photo "Just to be With You", he is located in the center on the left hand side. Unfortunately my Uncle Anthony passed away in November 2002, just a few days shy of Thanksgiving. It is great to see his memory live on through this video. He is missed everyday. Thank you so much for posting this video, it means so much to myself and my family. -Katelynn

They sang this on the same Dick Clark show when they did "Just to Be With You"--available here on youtube.

To astarletnight: My sister and I just loved watching your uncle and his group in concert in NJ. This has and will always be my favorite song by them. I know he is smiling down on you and your family. God Bless.

One of my all-time favorites songs and groups. I recall the evening many years ago when myself and old friends Angelo B., Peter T. and Ray A. rehearsed this tune in the echo-rich stairwell of Madison Sq Boy's Club in Manhattan to perform it in their talent show. Great memories. Thanks for posting
