@@LisaKoffler do you know music made universal studios hollywood new number of times picture awards TCM hollywood Ron Howard movie TV happy days TV show on Netflix about a year
I wish I could hit the like button on this 1,000 times, it's that good. You can tell the professionalism and dedication to their craft, as well as the respect they had for the songs and the artists they were covering. You don't get to this level of musicianship unless you've worked on it to perfect it. I also remember watching an interview in which Jocko said that artists forget they're on a stage and that they're there to entertain, so they must use the whole stage and not just stand there. That's what was so awesome about Sha Na Na, the fact that they all backed each other up no matter whose turn it was to be the lead singer and they did the choreographies perfectly. Just great entertainers and performers. A truly talented group that I wish would have kept on doing this show for another 10 years. Love Sha Na Na from Panamá City, Panamá.
I watched their tv show and it was awesome not only talented but every one of them made music fun , no bad attitudes. And always including audience members on stage to dance . Great showmanship . These guys are and will always be great ✌️✌️.
@@LisaKoffler You got that right and that's why Sha na na did what no other cover band has ever done or will ever do. They took it to a whole new level and became mega famous bc of it.
I so watched them on TV and live in the 70s/early 80s I was really little then but remember them so much they are a big part of my life. And what I find amazing is that little did I know then when I became an adult I'd actually would become best friends with one of them 💕💕💕💕
The members of the group were born and raised in the '50s, and they loved it so much that they decided to "improve" it by eventually becoming a cover band!
@Foofsmom Please put them up. If they have a problem with your spelling then it's their problem. No one forced them to com to you're videos. Just wait honey because when they get a lot older & can't remember how to pluck the right spelling out of their own heads they will remember this!! I'm fixing to buy my second Dictionary. Because I am forgetting how to spell. I don't know how to post anything. I can scan but not send it. Loving all you do for us. Thank you Denise
I agree! You shouldn't care about the opinions of others. Just keep doing what you're doing, and if they don't like it, it's their problem and their loss, NOT yours!
@Foofsmom How are you doing? Been so busy. I have to tell you from the heart the pleasure you & a few others that have put up Sha na na & our Special Johnny videos have gotten me through a very rough time. Will try to send you a few thank yous every now & then. chuckydapill has put up a Really Great video of live performances. Santini went wild. It is so great & Johnny is YUMMY. There goes my spelling again. I hope he tours this year & someone wiil put up live videos. MMMMGood!!
They still are! Just visit their website. "Screamin'" Scott, Donny, and Jocko are the only original members left in the group, but they're still wonderful!
@dpadgett4713 : I still have MANY clips to post. I just lost my enthusiasm with all the folks complaining about my spelling or titles of songs. I'm keeping what is left close to my heart. Someday I may post again.
Hey there all you Contardoholics and other Shanana fans...gotta say I'm seriously loving those gold lame suits.....I don't know about all of you but they sure don't leave much to my imagination...and although I am a huge Johnny fan ..Santini certainly looks hotter than I remember..I guess as I am 35 years older I have a different perspective on bald guys now, huh? Still Johnny will always have my heart :)
That's okay. You don't always need hair to be handsome and successful, and Santini proved it! Johnny had the hair, and it's white now. No matter - I still love them!
@chicodonny : there are a couple that come to my mind. One is they are cheerleaders and the other when they were with the Ramones I think. Those are here.
still got 4 more DVD's to go through LOL. so I don't know . TRUST me if I have it I'll post it. I"m so addicted to posting Sha Na Na stuff now. I need help I think. OOO maybe Dr. Powell will help?
The Diamonds covered the Gladiolus. Sha Na Na does an excellent job on this. The Diamonds version went all the way to number two. Theirs'is the ultimate version .
@bullgtor1 none of them were gay, they were just very confident in there masculinity, each and everyone of them are really gorgeous, and love them to bits, especially Johnny x
Ok I am reviewing all my material folks so stay tuned. More items to add. Now to this video... I really don't care for the boys in the all gold outfits. I LOVE them in the black tops w/ gold bottoms. Just my opinion
Checked out his current practice website. He has a little slide show. And as far as I am concerned, he is still gorgeous! : ) (His curriculum vitae says he's married. : ( But damn, Texas men do age well! : ) He also has another band.
@Foofsmom Someone made a crack about Dr. Powell being bald. Well I always say he must be doing something RIGHT. The tilted smile & that sassy wink he gives. I always thought & still do that he was one handsome man. Met a manager in a Dollar General years back. The cashiers all young. I don't think balding men are sexy. Poor Guy. He could hear me. I said girls are you nuts. He is handsome, & Sexy. HE WAS!. He came up with a big grin & gave me a big hug. Had a big smile for me always.
This man is incredibly handsome, has a beautiful voice, a phenomenal body (drool), can dance, and is brilliant. Hair would just cover up his perfection!
@@LisaKoffler I remember once in an interview a talk show host wanted to show how these fellows were not just goofs and started to tell the audience of their educational level and Bowzer got up quickly and under his breath said ; what your trying to ruin us? . And gave one of his big mouth laughs. But , i could tell there was some truth in what he was saying.
Trevor Miles, ALL the members of Sha Na Na were smart people. Sadly, some of them died. Those who are still alive chose other careers. No matter - I still love them to this day!
@@LisaKoffler Perhaps morbid philosophical bent to it but, not so much sad as just part of cycle of life. Like you alluded to, they brought a lot of smiles to those around them. I hope that can be said of me some day.
Oh and yeah about that petition where do I go to sign up? I have to hugely thank Foofsmom and others for these great posts but I would love to get all the Shanana tv shows on DVD.... :)
@@LisaKoffler I emailed the Sha Na Na website about ths a couple of years ago and Screamin Scott runs tje site ecause he emailed me back. He said the reason it is not on DVD is because of the copyright issues so because of that alone, it isnt on DVD, and i have a feeling it may never be. But i hope they figure out smething ecause i too woud like to see the show in seasons on DVD.
When I was 16 my goal in life was to marry Donny. My dad said he would give me his blessings considering the 10 year age difference. Now I'm 63 and a widow 😢. My husband after 44 years of marriage died at the young age of 59😢
What makes a good man or woman isn't under the golden wrapping paper. I give a shout out to those that wore the golden wrapping paper because they knew it was not important. If anything, they made a joke to all wearing the spandex. There were many hair bands wearing it. lol I see it that way, but I am me.
WOW..Santini a doctor, I read Bowzer became very successful in real estate . anyone knows what happened to the rest? they say being accomplished in music helps sharpen the brain! i do believe this .they must have all been brilliant in their respective fields.

These guys need to be inducted into the rock-'n'-roll hall of fame and museum.
This one blew me away. Perfect in every way. So sorry we have lost four of them, may they rest in peace knowing the joy they brought to us.
Sha na na is one of the greatest groups of ALL time! Each n everyone of them has a good voice. I miss them SO MUCH! 🙄😢😲🙃☹🎶🎹🎸🎷🎼🥁🎺🎻🎵😀👍🏼❤.
You can go visit their website!
@@LisaKoffler do you know music made universal studios hollywood new number of times picture awards TCM hollywood Ron Howard movie TV happy days TV show on Netflix about a year
Derek Llewellyn, no, but I'm glad you told me! Thanks!
No just no
How do you miss them? You never knew them
Sha Na Na brought the fun back to music
Those guys deserve to be in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

You said it!
With much better talent around in that era I dunno how people watched these
I used to watch the show all the time never would miss it.
So many good childhood memories of watching this show with my mom!
This was fantastic. Santini nailed it and Johnny with his falsetto chiming in well it was just superb. Another great one foofsmom. Thanks so much.
ALL the members of the group "nail" the songs!
@@LisaKoffler Yes, and not an easy song to replicate.
Tonithenightowl, you have to be exceptionally gifted to be able to replicate difficult songs!
@@LisaKoffler You got that right and that's why Sha na na did what no other cover band has ever done or will ever do. They took it to a whole new level and became mega famous bc of it.
Tonithenightowl, yes they did!
Now to me, as a kid born in 66! This is heaven! This is HEAVEN!
I AGREE
I was born in 67, and I loved it, too!
Johnny has the voice of an angel.
Johnny has the voice of what dreams are made of!
WOW
What a fantastic group.
I'm a 70yo Aussie male & just love these guys.
Used to watch them all the time as a toddler!!!
2021 and here I am!!!
Love this ❤️ such a great performance for such a great song
These guys were good. And Bowser fought for the original groups and won. I noticed Johnny does the high notes.
Bowzer's a good man, and I always appreciated him for doing the right things!
I miss those days when I used to watch Sha na na on tv
Loved watching & singing along as a kid. Even went to a live show way back when !!
I so watched them on TV and live in the 70s/early 80s I was really little then but remember them so much they are a big part of my life. And what I find amazing is that little did I know then when I became an adult I'd actually would become best friends with one of them 💕💕💕💕
I used to watch it with my parents in the late 70’s to early 80’s and saw them in concert twice. Awesome memories ♥️
X2😡
I laughed my head off watching their different skits!
even Simon Cowell was known to believe Jonny Contardos voice was a benchmark by which all other male vocals could be measured by...
Simon Cowell was misguided, because Johnny's singing voice was one of the rare kinds that God doesn't give to just anybody!
@@LisaKoffler So what? Simon was paying Johnny a compliment.
A bit weird....... but man I would love to be part of that group!!!!! They're rockin every song man.
This is how real talent sounds
The world's most successful cover band.
the days watching sha na na were the best
Hello Foofsmom, I'm from Turkey, thanks for the more videos from Sha na na :))...
Sha Na Na always great! Thanks! Thoroughly enjoyable!
After Sha Na Na, Santini went back to school and became an orthopedic surgeon.
Now he’s Dr. Santini!
GREAT THEN GREAT NOW GREAT FOREVERMORE 🕺❤
Memories from my childhood. Thanks.
Originally done by Maurice Williams & The Gladiolas and popularized by The Diamonds. Shanana did justice to all the " oldies".
Santini Became Dr. Santini And Don't Forget It.
Sha na na knows rock and roll
The members of the group were born and raised in the '50s, and they loved it so much that they decided to "improve" it by eventually becoming a cover band!
What good times....miss so much....❤️

Loved these guys !!
I Memmer these guys.... Love the oldies...
Me, too!
Great version of "The Diamonds" big hit! Wah wah wah wah, love it.
I watched them live once in North Tonawanda, NY (near Buffalo and Niagara Falls). We had a great time watching a great band.

I LOVED THESE GUYS ! THEY WERE FANTASTIC.-------------------------------MJL, 74 Y/O
They still are! Just visit their website. "Screamin'" Scott, Donny, and Jocko are the only original members left in the group, but they're still wonderful!
77, and I agree. Timeless.
@dpadgett4713 : I still have MANY clips to post. I just lost my enthusiasm with all the folks complaining about my spelling or titles of songs. I'm keeping what is left close to my heart. Someday I may post again.
I just want to say Thank You for posting these videos!🙂 You have given me back some of my youth and I so appreciate it. Again, thanks!😀
I enjoy this so much! Thanks!
Ignore those idiots who complained, and just keep on posting!
Oh, how we miss them.
Hey there all you Contardoholics and other Shanana fans...gotta say I'm seriously loving those gold lame suits.....I don't know about all of you but they sure don't leave much to my imagination...and although I am a huge Johnny fan ..Santini certainly looks hotter than I remember..I guess as I am 35 years older I have a different perspective on bald guys now, huh? Still Johnny will always have my heart :)
ALL of the members of the group were hot, and Johnny was my favorite, too!
Great! That was an extraordinary show! Oh youth! They were young on those days! Now they are old!
Saddern f!
What do you expect? Everyone gets old, and only Donny still looks the same despite facial wrinkles - he's even maintained his "girlish" figure!
Aren't we all? Nice, tho, that young people are discovering this music.
Santini may not have the hair but he's got everything else!
He looks like Elton John when he was younger
That's okay. You don't always need hair to be handsome and successful, and Santini proved it! Johnny had the hair, and it's white now. No matter - I still love them!
That wink of his at the end of their shows made my knees go rubbery. Bald heads can be so sexy.
i just read from a fan on youtube, Lenny is now a law professor...it only gets better and better.
jessie james ,good Sax 🎷 player
Lennie Baker died, along with Chico, Danny, and Denny.
Lennie passed away. Bowser is the law professor. . Lennie never went to college.
We should have a reunion of the guys that are still around. I think that would be great.
Yes, I think that would be fun, but that might not be possible.
They were actually still an active group until 2022. The two original members until the end were Donny and Screamin' Scott.
I can't believe these group of guys performed at Woodstock.
Great memories I use to watch this show with my dad.
My dad took me to one of their concerts, and I loved it!
Niiiiiiiiiiiice!😉
They are all cover-songs, but damn how good they are!
一人一人が真剣に歌ってるのが本当にかっこいいsha na na
what a great band-
wow, I haven't seen any of these in 25 years. Thanks. :D
Sha Na Na was the best
@chicodonny : there are a couple that come to my mind. One is they are cheerleaders and the other when they were with the Ramones I think. Those are here.

Ask him.
Love Sha Na Na...cannot come close to the Diamonds on this.
Really? I thought they were both equally good!
The Diamonds covered the Gladiolus. Sha Na Na does an excellent job on this. The Diamonds version went all the way to number two. Theirs'is the ultimate version .
I just love 💘 you baby
I love Johnny! XX
So do I!
I need you guys again I love you baby
and those little gold suits don't leave much to my imagination ROTF> MMMM MMMM MMMMM I must call the doctor now HA HA HA
Foofsmom Mjjhu7&&u
Maybe not, but I thought they were funny looking!
@bullgtor1 none of them were gay, they were just very confident in there masculinity, each and everyone of them are really gorgeous, and love them to bits, especially Johnny x
Anyone who thinks Sha Na Na is gay is stupid! The Village People were considered that, and Johnny was my favorite, too!
Essence of perfection!
Ok I am reviewing all my material folks so stay tuned. More items to add.
Now to this video... I really don't care for the boys in the all gold outfits. I LOVE them in the black tops w/ gold bottoms. Just my opinion
That's okay. I personally prefer them shirtless under their gold jackets!
Turn It Up!
Oh god, just remembered I saw them live at UC Santa Barbara in 1970. Were so great and still sound great compared to,the crap on the radio today.
@Foofsmom I agree. The black looks much better.
Love love them
Wow!! Johnny Johnny
Johnny NEVER disappoints!
saw these cats at lanier high school dance.
I saw them in concert in Providence, Rhode Island, and I loved it!

johnny love you !
I love him, too!
Can't get enough of my music...50's Dowopp
I can't either! Music has been in my life since a kid!
I'm a lifelong music lover myself. I changed with the times, but I NEVER forgot my late parents' music!
Theve always been in a league of their own
They're a cover band.
Bowzer was a Julliard classically trained as were the others. Not an armature in the bunch.

Love it!
I like this one by santini :)
Me, too!
I don't know.... those outfits are pretty sexy - then again it takes me back to "Ziggy Stardust" ;)
I thought they were reserved for the best singers in the group.
looooooved these guys as a kid.. always thought dudes shirt with piano keys on the sleaves was soooo cool.
I have a pair of pink knit winter gloves that has a piano key motif around each cuff. Those gloves make me think of Screamin' Scott.

Not necessarily. Disco balls are beautiful, and they've been used during the different time periods.

Someone, Please, Tell My Dad, That Sha Na Na Rules!!!
That isn't necessary - he can enjoy any music he wants, just like you do!
LOL!! Ain't that the truth!

@Foofsmom Oh yes!!!
